  1. I remember when I still liked John McCain - I mean, Dan Crenshaw. Sorry. I get them mixed-up.

  2. College is GREAT if you don't hide from the upper-division math, science, and even history. Throw in some economics. Hope your history and economics teachers aren't deluded (or malevolent) communists. If they are, then drop the course. I took upper-division lit, while I was at it, but there was nothing there that isn't taken to a whole new level by the greats in science fiction, which however pulp it is, it's still informed by Shakespeare and all the rest, without fucking with the iambic pentameter. Take as little of the humanities as possible. Teach that to yourself on YouTube from many sources. Don't settle for the fat asshole that landed a teaching gig at the school you end up at, because chances are good that they totally don't understand human progress.

  4. They use our virtue against us. Such is the nature of naked pursuit of power. And no I'm not talking about a guy looking for an electrical outlet sans clothing.

  5. Where's the same courtesy being extended to Texas? But her party were cheering this in 2020, and we were all racists for saying it was out of control and hurting our border states.

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

  7. Conversation starts getting interesting. Activists decide they're not getting enough attention.

  8. My 8-year-old asked me about absorbing neighborhoods of zero as a basis for general Hausdorff spaces. I had to explain to the numbskull that T2 is a far weaker condition than that.

  9. Democrats only sound reasonable when they're running for election. Then as soon as they have the power of office, they show their lust for power and authority over others.

  12. 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.

  13.  @PHeMoX  European nations never enshrined free speech as a right. In different places, people may speak more or less freely, by custom, but the government can snatch it away at the government's pleasure. The U.S. government is the ONLY government in the WORLD that is explicitly constrained from infringing on the right to speak freely and voice your dissent, and the U.S. government chafes at the restriction and has done everything possible to control speech, without being caught doing it. The Twitter Files show beyond a doubt that the U.S. government regularly censors the news on Big Tech and legacy media alike. There's no way they wouldn't ALL behave exactly as Twitter, FaceBook, the New York Times, cable news, and report the exact same things, with the exact same wording, inclusions and omissions if it weren't all coming from one place. I'm done giving the benefit of the doubt. Any lack of transparency. Any redaction. Any suppression of stories. Any de-platforming of critics and dissidents. I'm just done. I am henceforth assuming that every bit of corporate-sponsored media are lying. I assume that any media for children published in the last 10 years is something I wouldn't want my kids to watch, until proven otherwise. In the words of a system administrator: Hosts Deny: All is the default until personally vetted by me.

  14.  @hoorayimhelping3978  Yes. Speaking truth to non-stop liars and charlatans may not be the wisest move. It's the RIGHT move. I'd trust Elon a lot more if he didn't line up for government subsidies and tax breaks for government-approved green tech like all the rest of the fat cats.

  16. They got so rich they turned commie. Strangest thing, until you realize that after you've got yours, the best way to keep everybody else down is to talk commie.

  18. Supreme Court is a pretty big deal. 8 years of Hillary after 8 years of Obama would've enshrined identity politics in judicial precedent and later law.

  19. Quit harping on Biden's mental fitness. We all know he's a potato. Focus on actual issues, like the malign policies his handlers are implementing.

  20. Mix of truth and lies. There ARE oil magnates with politicians on speed dial. You might be surprised how deeply embedded in the Green New Deal they are, managing its wording so that they can take maximum advantage of government subsidies and keep millions of small projects from ever getting STARTED, by controlling the regulations that will come with it. "We're going to have to take down your windmill, ma'am, because it doesn't have wheelchair-accessible entrance" or some shit like that. That's the main reason I oppose Green New Deal, because I think the CULTURE is going green faster than a handful of eggheads in industry and government can even keep up with, and the last people we want in charge of how the changes are made are idiots like AOC, following the advice of the "experts" who are most accessible (and generous) to them. Arguably the biggest obstacle to EarthShip construction principles is government regulators. The guys preaching to us about environment are the same guys who won't let you build more green-conscious in an organic way. No. To THEM it means a more efficient gas furnace hooked to their grid. A cracker-box wood-frame construction on top of the ground that's so tight you breathe your own effluvia. Can't have a house that breathes. You need to buy disposable air filters from an outfit in China... Green tech and living in balance with nature is a ground-up phenomenon, and the people on the ground can share their successes and failures, INSTANTLY, with other people just like themselves, across broad spans of climate, altitude, culture, and resource settings, informally, over the Internet. We need more Kirsten Dirksen's, not more government programs that are just big money-makers for the people writing the fine print and first in line for the benefits. The internal combustion engine is a fantastic asset to humanity. But driving 40 miles to work every day in a car is just a stupid way to live. People are figuring that out, but you don't need to punish them or use force on them. Living greener is already seen as a "good" in this culture, so let it play out! And when I hear "shovel-ready" out of a politician's mouth, I about blow a gasket laughing and crying at the same time. They're the last people we want deciding how to clean things up.

  21. It's easier to get elected with promises of government largesse than it is to be a true statesman. That's why Republicans are big spenders just like Democrats. If they hadn't gone "kinder and gentler" they would've been a permanent minority.

  22. Liberal Democrats have always voted for government to do MORE. Will they wake up and realize that the more the government does FOR you, the worse things get, and the more the government will eventually do TO you.

  23. As a Jew, no matter where you're born, you can obtain citizenship in Israel pretty easily. As a Palestinian, born in Jerusalem, chances are you can't even get INTO Israel.

  24. National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance are some made-up shit having NOTHING to do with the U.S. Constitution. Think about when they came about. Just a bunch of people decided we should have an anthem and a pledge. I don't want my kids pledging to the Rainbow Flag, but I don't think they should be pledging allegiance to ANY flag every freaking morning, nor do I feel like we need to sing the National Anthem before every stinking sporting event. Whose idea was that? That's what you do when you're trying to manufacture consent for yet another (undeclared) war!

  26. He's talking about targeting and recruiting spies. That's a lot different from training and arming Islamic terrorists, because we're upset with the Soviets.

  28. Anybody who understands history has understood that the Democrats' demagoguery for the last 50 years, to grow government and its role and scope, was bad for the country. Better late than never, but all these uneducated "educated" people...

  29. 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!

  30. First of all, Dave, we're not a democracy. Second of all, the judiciary doesn't pass laws. The way you butcher the language is rather appalling.

  31. I've had GamePass for years and stream the games. Don't have to sit through any woke nonsense, but I'm thinking it's time to cut the cord, just to let them know they lost one more customer due to delusional and divisive BS. That being said, I wasn't too fond of all the flag waving during Desert Storm or Iraqi Freedom, either. I support our troops, but I don't support the way we put them in harm's way at the drop of a hat, without a declaration of war. So I was kind of turned off, way back during the Bush administration. All the rah-rah shit over an unjust war, thousands of miles away.

  32. Roe-v-Wade wasn't a statement supporting the rights of women. It was a decision based on 1960s science as to the point at which a fetus was considered a human being, essentially on the viability of the fetus outside the womb. If it's not a person, it's just tissue being removed from a citizen's body. If it's a human, it's murder. Science has changed a lot since then.

  33. "Cultural appropriation" used to be considered a GOOD thing. Good for human advancement and good for racial and cultural relations. The "melting pot" was blending us into one people LONG before the "diversity" crowd came along and set about balkanizing us in the name of equity.

  37.  @Cunnysmythe  : I admire Weinstein for finally making a stand. I despise him for not seeing his hand in promoting leftist ideals that gave rise to the situation he had to take a stand against. He rails against the kind of NPC nonsense that his nanny-government ideology creates.

  38.  @fcuk_x  : I take The Duran with a grain of salt, considering they work for RT, but that doesn't stop me from listening to them, and damned if I've found anything they've said that they needed to retract, later.

  39.  @PHeMoX  Most disruption is counter-productive. Speech is not disruption, although it may turn out to be disruptive if it's persuasive enough. As in nature, most mutations/departures from the norm are anti-survival. We must tolerate the mutant ideas, be skeptical of them, and on rare occasions, ADOPT them, because they're BETTER! :o)

  42.  @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.

  43.  @josm1481  No, the press was not impartial a decade or even 6 decades ago. They just hid it, better, and there was no competition for the legacy networks and legacy print media. Things only SEEMED better when it was just the NYT, WaPo, and NBC, ABC and CBS. I've been following it since the 1970s and the only difference, now, is that there are good-sized platforms that disagree with "The Message" and millions of people who realize they're being lied to, finally. You upset about WMDs in Iraq? They pulled the same sort of stunt in Vietnam, 60-plus years ago. And if you opposed more big spending by government, EVERY network attacked you for being uncharitable and selfish, even though you contributed more to private charity than any 10 Democrats..

  44. Leftist ideologues form "support teams" and "fact-checker teams" on all Big Tech platforms, with a hot-line to Democrat politicians to censor anything they don't like.

  45.  @thepearl6087  Trump mobilizes the left. And in key moments, he backs down to the neolib-neocon uni-party. Case in point: Missile strikes in Syria in retaliation for chemical attacks everyone is pretty sure were false flag. Assad had decisive tactical and strategic advantage. The only thing that could cost him that would be something stupid, like a chemical attack, when conventional means were already winning it for you. Then all of a sudden, USA is lobbing missiles. That was one of Trump's low points in foreign policy, and it's the one thing he received universal praise for doing. smh

  48. 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.

  49. They're still lying, so they can go after our kids! It breaks my heart to see and anticipate the health problems that will ensue in years to come. The REAL crime was suppressing and PUNISHING early treatment of COVID for outpatients. "Come back when your lips are blue," so we can put you on a respirator and get a government check for your untimely death.
