  1. I agree with Kat on just about everything except open borders. Now, if the USA and the rest of the world were run on libertarian principles, then national borders would be just an after-thought, but the world is authoritarian, here and elsewhere. I also disagree with de-criminalization. That still makes it illegal to sell the stuff. We need a legal way for idiots to buy the drugs they want. I just don't see how we can get there when the government has made the sins of others a tax burden on the rest of us. Do away with the welfare state and the War on Drugs. Hold people strictly accountable for their actions. "We don't care that you're an addict, but you just stole or assaulted someone or killed someone while intoxicated.

  2. Disgusting man who could've done so much good with his enormous wealth, but decided to play God, instead.

  3. How this man got elected and re-elected is beyond me. He's disgusting.

  4. There's nothing wrong with liberalism, except it's been hijacked by government-worshipping idiots determined to drag us back into the Dark Ages and serfdom. Most conservatives are very liberal. Most so-called liberals are quite reactionary, looking to roll back the real progress achieved by actual liberals, and bring us authoritarian rule from above.

  6. I don't consult NBA players on issues of the day or matters of history, but it's refreshing to hear some of them asking the same questions I'm asking.

  7. Keeping Kamala out of the loop doesn't mean Joe's calling the shots. It's been clear since the primaries that Joe's his handlers' puppet. And let's be honest. The government is such an enormous octopus that ANY president is pretty much the pawn of his/her top advisors, who tell him what (their version of) the facts are (is) and what he can/should do based on those facts. You could argue that the president sets the overall strategy/direction, but even in that, the president is entirely hostage to what the "experts" in the administration tell him. It's like the whole thing with the "red button" and the "nuclear codes." I don't think any of that is the president's call, when it comes right down to it. It's the entrenched civil/defense/foreign-policy wonks surrounding the president that make those decisions, whatever the figurehead says or does. And under Trump, we come to find out that his own people were regularly lying to him and disobeying him. He thought our troops were out of Syria. They weren't. Dana Perino gives way too much benefit of the doubt. She's way "establishment."

  8. Nazis ARE leftists. "I am a socialist" is a direct quote from Adolf Hitler. Lefties don't understand socialism or they wouldn't be such big fans of it.

  9. Trump's the presumptive Republican nominee. DeSantis won't run if Trump runs. Bad news for the opposition to Democrats is that Trump is damaged goods. Even people who liked Trump's overall policy positions are skeptical about Trump's ability to drain the swamp. Some of us are skeptical about Trump even being serious about draining the swamp, when we see some of his appointments, and times he bowed to the establishment.

  10. Calling this "Durham Report" is low-IQ. We're tracking INDICTMENTS. He's not giving up a "report." Quit being lazy.

  11. Trump didn't put a dent in the foreign-policy BORG. He spent his whole term running scared from false accusations.

  13. "You're not a lesbian. You're a man trapped in a woman's body. But I can fix you up. Give me a second, I'll clean off my scalpel." That's the approach a small number of inordinately loud and powerful people treat lesbians these days.

  14. "Trust in government" is for children and fools. There's a reason the U.S. Constitution strictly limits the size and scope of the federal government, and for that same reason, the U.S. Government chafes at the Constitution, and seeks to expand the U.S. Government into every aspect of all of our lives. Our Constitution lies in tatters, and we do nothing.

  19.  @sv3931  Yes. Critical Race 'Theory' gives the entire project more credibility than it deserves. It doesn't hold up to logical or evidentiary scrutiny. At best, it's "theory" in the colloquial meaning of the term, because it is not at all substantiated except by a club of mutual back-patters who find validation by validating each others' bullshit claims. What makes it DANGEROUS is it obtains a false authority because those mutual back-patters have lots of letters after their names. A diploma from the bottom of a Cracker-Jack box has as much standing in MY mind as ANY degree ending in the word "Studies."

  20.  @coanwilliams  Oh I do. It's a subject RICH with irony. "You're obviously a cult, because my cult says so." But Christianity's a cult with millions of followers and it generally has the right idea on most things, except the whole "give me money so you can live forever" grift. I oppose CRT on purely rational grounds, and I kind of get a twinge when Christians make faith-based arguments that mean NOTHING to anybody undecided or opposed. I get a twinge when the people leading the charge against globalism are patriotic nationalists. I see globalism as the natural extension of toxic nationalism. I'm a localist, and beyond THAT I'm a family-ist. War makes for strange bedfellows. This info war we're in is no different. The thing I'll say for the Christians is that they are generally tolerant of other views and some of our best scientists are Christians. It's not ENTIRELY irrational to have faith in God, especially if you're at all familiar with Pascal's Wager. But I agree 100% that "God said" is not an argument.

  22. The press has ALWAYS had an axe to grind. Until the 20th Century and especially WW II, muck-raking from every outlet was a given, and people knew the politics of every paper. Then during the war, the government got its hooks into the press, behind the scenes, and from then on, the new media (radio and t.v.) spoke with one voice, and the people were conditioned to BELIEVE the one voice. Alternative voices were drowned out and/or subverted, in the name of "fighting communism." We'll see how well alternative media do in the future, but Big Tech dominates and has joined the government-insider chorus. You're not getting Dave or any other alternative voices unless you LOOK for them, and know what you're looking for. I hope against hope that these Big Tech platforms will wither and die, just like cable/broadcast media. In the "old days," you had lefty, moderate, and righty to choose from, and could get a fairly good grasp by reading from 2 or 3 opposing sources.

  24. Blue used to oppose war and support endless federal intervention in the economy. Red used to oppose government expansion and be war pigs. Now, red and blue are for endless war and endless government expansion. I've been liberty and limited government my whole adult life, and MY guys NEVER get elected. McCain v Obama? No difference. Bush v Gore? No difference. Trump's an actual alternative, but he made ZERO headway against the swamp. He got outmaneuvered at every turn and that's assuming he's not just a Trojan horse.

  25. CRT is bad, but the war is against offices of D.I.E. embedded in large organizations everywhere. The grievance culture's power in our major institutions continues, essentially unaffected.

  26. A danger to the Constitution? The only danger to the Constitution and our hard-won and UNIQUE freedoms is politicians like Nancy Pelosi.

  27. I read Losing Ground back in '84. I think Murray was pretty left-leaning at the time, and has evolved to a more classical liberal perspective. But that book documented the progress and the stagnation of the poor. As I recall, Murray thought they just got the welfare state wrong. Now I think he's more skeptical of nanny government, in general.

  31.  @oliphauntsneverlie6227  I think they DID know. Now they're beginning their planned pivot. You knew during the Dem debates that their policies were utterly unsupportable and whoever won the nomination would be a sacrificial lamb, whether they won in 2020 or not. Joe's doing exactly what they want, and now Demokkkrats are beginning their "plausible deniability" phase. "That's not what we meant," they'll say. It was EXACTLY what they meant, and they're doing EXACTLY what they campaigned on.

  32. How about going back to Gulf of Tonkin propaganda? WMDs in Iraq propaganda? Heck, you could go all the way back to the Hurst (Hearst?) newspaper empire starting the Spanish-American War over 100 years ago.

  33. Common sense, scholarship, and ethics. HE MUST BE SILENCED! -The Establishment I think the bypass was justified on a right-to-try basis, with full disclosure, in a big enough crisis. That's not what happened, nor was it truly the crisis they told us it was. The mandates and the mass distribution of the experimental treatment to people - especially young people - at low or no risk of serious illness or harm from COVID, itself, was an abomination. An atrocity on Nuremberg levels. The suppression of successful treatments with off-the-shelf, re-purposed drugs like HCQ and Ivermectin, was criminal. Doctors in clinics, treating hundreds and even thousands of patients, were under no circumstances to share their success stories with colleagues and the public. If all they'd done was NOTHING and SHARE every scrap of treatment and outcome information, peer-to-peer, we'd've had the treatment side of it licked in a couple weeks. Many doctors DID. Few spoke of it, so the sharing part never took place, and authorities were hostile to such sharing. We all know this was an atrocity committed against the peoples of the world. I don't care if it was for profit or not. Those profits are FORFEIT. They were obtained by fraud, from inside and outside of government.

  35. What right did we have to create the state of Israel by force, at the expense of everybody in the region? You don't have to like Hamas to question Zionist aims.

  36. I don't hate Israel or Palestinians. Before the Jewish state was created, Menachem Begin was known as a terrorist, and he fit the definition. You have to go back to British empire and Balfour Declaration, at least. Palestinians and other ethnic groups were used as proxies to fight the Ottoman Empire during WW I. Promises were made. Promises were broken.

  37. If they voted for Biden, they're low information. Focusing on Biden just sets them up for another Demokkkrat who claims to be "different."

  38. I love the way California is reducing its carbon footprint: It buys electricity from Wyoming coal-fired plants, which have to burn twice as much coal due to transmission-line losses, than if they had built power-generating facilities in their own state, close to where the power is needed. Green policies are farcical.

  41.  @AndyGrahamProductions  He'd say "But the science changed! We didn't KNOW!" And of course, THAT is BS, because the establishment de-platformed, smeared and threatened with loss of license, which NGT would have known, if he questioned authority and did his own research. Instead, he added his voice and his platform to th establishment's, and helped spread the lie and ridicule those with more discernment. He should be asked what he thinks of the Great Barrington Declaration, and why he opposes it.

  42.  @bjrneileras2534  Gain-of-function research farmed out to 2nd-raters in China, and changing the very definition of the term in order to circumvent the law. Using his position to push lockdowns, masks and most of all The Jab, when he either didn't know what he was talking about or deliberately prescribed the most harmful response to COVID possible.

  43. Parallels between U.S. and Iran: Antifa/anti-trump rallies are starting to draw more trumpsters than protesters. In ultra-liberal Oregon, police are routinely arresting roadblock protests. College presidents, who've been playing the game ONE way to protect their institutions from litigation-happy students and government mandates, are suddenly faced with dropping enrollments and smaller contributions from alumni. I think if you talked to an Iranian about what's going on in Iran, they'd say some of it was probably upset over prices, but more people in the street in SUPPORT of the theocracy. I'm still learning about how the Assembly of Experts are elected, but it sounds like when Khamenei passes, the people's voice can be heard for the next Ayatollah (is that the right term?), and it SOUNDS like this is the point in time where Iranian people get their periodic say on the direction the government will take, based on the choices of the "Experts." For a country their size, it's an interesting model of government. I definitely prefer my Madison and Jefferson, don't get me wrong. But one of the things to which "liberal democracy" is prone is a moral decay and general unhappiness. RELIGION gives a lot of people a sense of belonging to something bigger, more lasting. And they can live happier, more productive lives. Well, some of 'em, anyway. I think it's AN answer to the ceiling that Western society keeps bumping its head against. Once we've secured the dream, for the most part, we abandon it. We breed up the uneducated and the educated stop breeding! We are guaranteed an education, and then we make damn sure it's the worst fuckin' education possible. My knowledge of the classics was ABYSMAL from the public schools. I never HEARD of the contest of ideas between Euripedes and Aristotle, although I was educated enough to understand the significance and meaning, when I just picked it up on my own MANY years later (Yay Internet! Yay Tom Richey!). Heh. I was deeply influenced by Ayn Rand's "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal," which I stole off my Dad in my college days. Recommended for everyone. John Galt was too boring. But the straight, to-the-point stuff was more up my line, in a brief paperback!

  44. Exactly. #resistcapitalism shows absolute misunderstanding of history. Everything "bad" that Progressive history points to in our past was the OPPOSITE of free-market capitalism and limited government. EVERY time free markets get a chance to work, they DO. Only government intervention by power-grabbers has messed things up. There's now a deep schism in society between those who are still watching and forming their opinions from mainstream media, and those who are not. But the Internet may have tipped the scales in favor of freedom at just the right time.

  46. No. Not "seeped into the university space;" rather, is seeping OUT from the university space. Academe is what's been hijacked, and academe is seeking to hijack the rest of us. But it's running out of steam, now. Good stuff, Dave. Isn't it cool that once you figure out the principle of non-violence/non-force, that it becomes EASY to make rational judgements on political matters with little trouble. Any other system of logic is so fraught with epicycles, you have to be a genius to really understand everything. "No, lad. The Earth is a spinning globe revolving around the Sun, and that's why the planets and stars move in the sky as they do." Libertarians are actually stupid people, just trying to sort the world out.

  48. The regressive left is the personification of the most basic form of proof in math: reductio absurdum arguments. They're to math proofs what puns are to humor: the lowest form. All beginning math students, first trying to learn how to prove or disprove a proposition are taught this "indirect method" of proof. To prove it's correct, you assume it is not, and follow the logic to a false statement. "Reduce to absurdity." Progressive ideology is based on faulty premises, so it inevitably leads to absurdities like vagina hats and masked vandals smashing windows, shouting ridiculous slogans.

  49. I agree with him more than I disagree with him. I think you'll find, if you research the why's and wherefore's on the regressive left, you'll become another hopeless libertarian/classical liberal like Dave and I.

  50. You should listen to everybody, do some research, decide who's level-headed. Yeah, Paul's one. For me, the big put-off is when someone agrees with me right down the line, and then goes on to say something about how only being saved through Jesus Christ (or submitting to Allah) is why they agree with me. LOL! I am kind of a Jesus freak, though. Reason and Love is what I take away from that cat. I don't need the immortality hook (which I disbelieve) to try to keep my head where Jesus would have his. I don't have to believe in a savior to put a literally perfect archetype to good use!
