  1.  @cynthiajohnson9412  Democrats embrace authoritarianism because they hold their fellow citizens in contempt. What they don't get is that people in government are ALSO "fellow citizens."

  2. I first got interested in the Dakotas as a pre-law student, because Arnie Bakke was a geology major from North Dakota, always with his prospector's pick on the Idaho fishing trips I led some of my dorm crowd on. Then I left the university due to money, went to a state college, where I got MY geology degree! Idaho's a great state for geology degrees, and a great staging area for all the best geology of the Western USA. Anyway, the Dakotas have the Black Hills Dome, which one can spend a lifetime exploring. Just the coolest place for a rock-hound/student of the planet.

  3.  @oNikolaos  Yes. It's ridiculous. It's all about a relatively small number of people trying to hijack a nation. They've been wildly successful, so far, but they're sowing the seeds of their own demise, as the rift between their narratives and actual reality becomes so vast that a large and growing majority are rejecting them.

  5. @Oners82 It's Democrats who suppress voter's rights, by opening-up the process to extensive fraud. Voter ID isn't racist. It's the ones who fight AGAINST voter ID who are racist and dilute the votes of everybody else. It's Dems who pushed the lock-downs and still push them. How's that good for the worker? How's that good for the little guy? No. Dems represent the super-rich and the white-collar bureaucrat class, of which you're undoubtedly a made member, with your degrees and your high IQ. You sound highly educated and under-informed. Typical postmodern "intellectual," bearing NONE of the consequences of your bad ideas, and parading around like you're an expert on everything, when the guy who's working on my roof has more common sense and practical skills than you do. I suppose you like lots of regulations and think we need to pay higher taxes, too, amirite? Yes. You're so smart, you're the robber barons' best friend. They'll make use of you until you wake up, and then they'll silence you, because you you're no longer fit for (their) purpose. You see some of the ills of society and rather than seeking to understand the cause, you always turn to government as the cure, rather than seeing those problems as unintended consequences of your profligate use of force to MAKE or COERCE people to do YOUR will. All your solutions lead to new layers of bureaucracy, new things to control and track. I bet you're a big fan of Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, yet you're oblivious to some of its main themes. "I'm British. I know how to queue."

  9. I think the "vaccinated have milder cases" fails to count all the unvaccinated cases that never went to a doctor at all. The MILD covid cases for the unvaccinated flew under the establishment's radar, which suited the establishment just fine. The unvaccinated have a much higher distrust of doctors w.r.t. covid, and probably in general.

  10.  @rtorres4132  This has gone on since long before Reagan and Thatcher. Just look at how rights-of-way were doled out to robber barons for the transcontinental railroad, and how protecting that corporate welfare justified killing the buffalo and destroying the native population. And every time the public gets fed up with the robber barons, the U.S. Gov't creates another agency to protect the robber barons in the name of restraining the robber barons.

  12. There's a good chance that kids bring some of the derangement home with them from school. But yeah. Parents who hang on Rachel Maddow's every utterance are going to make a deep impression on their kids, and the derangement reaches down to kids, who don't really have the knowledge or cognitive ability to weigh the issues. Of course, CNN watchers, themselves, tend to have the same deficits into late adulthood.

  15. The pro's are all millionaires, unlike when those pro leagues were built. And they act like they're oppressed, when they're extremely privileged. And the college game, they don't get paid ENOUGH. The NCAA is corrupt as hell.

  16. We still have a lot of inertia to overcome. Students raised in an institutional spoon-fed setting want and EXPECT to be spoon-fed. They're CERTAIN that traditional lecture is "how they learn best." I know as a long-time lecturer how poorly even the BEST lecture serves the student audience. Back in the late '80s and early '90s, my students would actually clap at the end of lecture (like Jordan Peterson!), because I covered the material AND made them laugh. I was very entertaining and I know I covered the knowledge thoroughly. I was winning awards and telling myself what a gifted lecturer I was. But when I checked their notes or graded their homework and tests, I could see that less than half of them were actually getting the concepts from the live lecture. Most weren't interacting directly with the knowledge. Most were interacting with the knowledge, indirectly, through me. Like I'm a high priest interceding with the Math Gods on their behalf, or Jesus Christ, even. And a LOT of lecturers LOVE that position. It feeds their ego. It used to feed MY ego. I since switched to a 'flipped' format, with extensive resources on video and our face-to-face time free for questions. I don't insist on everyone's attention. Just their courtesy. Many self-motivated students just work quietly with an ear out for something they struggled with, previously, but most of the self-motivated can get through the assignments just using the videos and notes. And if they can quietly work with their earphones in, watching the video that applies to what THEY'RE doing, in the moment, then I'm all for that. ' But when they always wait for the next day's spoon-feeding, they're always a day or two or three behind where they should be. The questions they ask about 3.1 should've been asked on the day we covered 3.1, but they didn't even LOOK at 3.1 until after I lectured over 3.1. "Traditional lecture" was wonderful, when there was only one guy in town who had the book, and "No you may not borrow my precious book." But I'll tell you all about it if you come to my lecture. Wonderful way to share knowledge in a time when few had books. But obsolete since books became widely available, and especially since the Internet made it possible to put the lectures on video. NOW your time with the instructor is wide open and he has 20 minutes to give to one question. Those who have the same question are ready for the answer, and those who don't have that question (haven't gotten there, yet or figured it out on their own or already asked about it) are free to work on whatever they want to work on, and I don't demand their undivided attention. I just ask that they not disrupt the conversations that are taking place. Active learners LOVE what I do, because I don't get in their way, and I'm always available for questions and, because I'm competent in the content area (many math teachers are not, in my opinion), I'm ready for anything and not just giving a planned lecture with nothing off-script to trip me up, which I've seen many do. The worst ones are the "education majors," because they know everything there is to know about teaching (or so they think), except the subject being taught! One of my colleagues wanted to tell everybody how to teach their classes because she had her brand-new PhD in education to show everyone. But she was actually quite weak in the content area, itself. This follows along with how things went in graduate school. Peers of mine who hit the wall as undergraduates switched to getting teaching certificates for grade school and high school. Peers who hit the wall in graduate school went on to get advanced degrees in education. And the teaching-certificate and "education doctorate" types are invariably the ones who seek to climb the ladder in administration so they have the power to tell everyone else how to run their classes. Invariably, the least competent people in the actual mathematics are running the math-education establishment.

  21. The big criticism of this Grenell guy from Dems is "The Germans DESPISE him." LOL! Yes. Because he says the things he's saying, in support of Trump, whom they also despise, because he holds them accountable. Obama was a limp rag in all his dealings, and that's why world leaders LOVED him. He literally sent billions of dollars to Iran, wrapped in plastic, stacked on pallets, to get his ineffective "signature" deal with Iran. He bribed them to take advantage of him. It's like paying somebody to steal from you.

  22. No. You will paint a target on your back, and the people who agree with you will, at best, come up to you, privately, and say "You're sayin' EXACTLY what I'm thinkin'," but they will never back me in public. You just have to decide what you stand for. If others are inspired/convinced/have their minds changed, then that's good, but do not COUNT on ANY of that.

  23.  @debbierobbins360  It's a rogue presidency by a rogue party machine that seeks and is on the brink of one-party rule. They're so close they can taste it.

  24.  @christoph8365  Yup. She's still a gun-control, nanny-government, economically-illiterate progressive. Sadly, the nanny-government thing is pretty much in the Overton Window, nowadays, on both sides of the aisle. Progressives can see the rot in the military-industrial complex and some of the rot in the media-industrial complex, but they turn a blind eye to the domestic-industrial complex, consisting of Depts of Ag, Interior, Education, and all the rest. I think the feds should handle national defense, national emergency, border control, and maybe the interstate infrastructure. Everything else needs to devolve to the states, and to the extent possible, states should devolve it to the counties and cities. And the cities should be run in such a way that build strong, resilient and self-reliant families. If you want that for your families, then you want government out of the way, and not mucking things up with its wrong-headed help. Look at the homeless debacle in Portland. All kinds of generous citizens wanting to pitch in and convert an old prison into a homeless shelter, and DOING IT for a FRACTION of what city council is doing in a much less suitable place, serving many fewer people, at far greater cost, in a run-down cat-house with a collapsing roof. *SMH*. We pour millions and billions into helping people, and all it does is line the politicians' pockets in places like Portland.

  27. We've known that the Soviets and Maoists were BAD for DECADES. Hence the rise in Postmodernism, where internationalist socialism promoted itself NOT in its OWN name, but by systematically tearing down everything it is NOT. Marxist-Leninism is the only thing left standing, after "de-constructing" capitalism. The ideology discredits, one by one, every feature of free-market capitalism and individual rights. After word of the Gulag came out, they stopped campaigning FOR the Marxist takeover, and focused on campaigning against everything that is NOT Marxism. Couldn't bring it in the front door, so they snuck it in the back door. Here, near the end game, they are more and more openly Marxist, which they absolutely couldn't have done 20, 30 or 40 years ago. Tearing down capitalism was the long game. Once that is achieved, the only ideology left standing is Marxism.

  28. More and more young people, who are striving for their own success, hate "snowflakes" more than dyed-in-the-wool conservatives. They SEE the money taken out of their pay-checks and they SEE where that money goes: to the loafers down the block. And they resent the hell out of it. This is the "scary" parallel to Trumpism. The Nazis didn't get up to world-threatening nonsense until average working people turned on those they perceived as parasites on the "perfect socialist state." But it's different. OUR young people who DO reject the political correctness are actually rebelling AGAINST the establishment, rather than being its paws.

  29. 40 or 50 years ago, when most pro franchises were built, the players played for the fun of it and very few earned great financial rewards. Now, they're all millionaires and they complain more than they ever did. It's weird.

  32. Bill's following has fluctuated. His "politically incorrect" had a lot of people from every side watching. As long as he sticks to the lowest-hanging fruit, and doesn't ignore the obvious, he should have broad appeal.

  34.  @bobprivate8575  "Equal" and "equitable" are slightly different. Actually, we want equal treatment and equitable treatment. But the left have re-defined "equity" to mean "equality of outcome." But that's not the strict definition. It's a purely political distinction.

  35. You can outlaw it by name, but the teachers will still continue indoctrinating children in socialism and the new racism. Their scorn for white people and condescending attitude towards all other groups isn't going away any time soon, and it will seep into all their lessons. The parents will go back to sleep and the public schools will go right back to pushing whatever agenda the current establishment wants pushed. This crap will never go away until we do away with the entire property-tax-and-state-and-federally-funded public school paradigm, which has outgrown its original 19th-Century usefulness.

  36.  @totallynottrademarked5279  Lots of proof. Lots of ballots without documentation. Lots of ballots being mailed out to dead people. Lots of ballots without legally-required chain of custody. You sound like John Gotti with your "zero proof" propaganda.

  39.  @videosonyoutube5588  You're one of the few I've seen who brings up that "original sin" aspect to it. That's definitely how I see it, too. I think it all flows from conscious or unconscious self-loathing, expiated by its projection onto others. "I hate myself; therefore, you are despicable." And they lash out at others in a vain attempt at self-redemption. The problem with that is all they get is a momentary (guilty) pleasure, a quick jolt of adrenalin and serotonin, but still an emptiness inside, because redemption is IMPOSSIBLE in this belief system. Downing one fascist doesn't redeem them. It just makes them hungry to take down the next.

  40.  @TrangleC  Don't demand anything. Guarantee them the same rights and responsibilities as everyone else. 99% of the BS would evaporate if they stopped guaranteeing everybody something for nothing. Blacks were catching up just fine until the entitlement explosion of the last '60s and early '70s that's continued pretty much unabated ever since. And for every black family trapped in a cycle of poverty by the system, there are probably 2 whites. The poor whites are just spread out over the countryside, more.

  41. Lucas is about spectacle, not story-telling. He didn't have his main circle for the prequels, guys who made the spectacle subservient to the story. In the prequels, the story was subservient to the spectacle. Oh, it had the character arcs and told a story, but it did so in unconvincing fashion. Lucas, without his story-telling crew, isn't that great.

  45. She set a standard for preparation that's never been met before or since. It probably wasn't even that hard, since the White House Press Corps was and is so predictable, living on narratives that don't hold up to any real scrutiny. I think Spicer was a lightweight by comparison and Sarah Huckabee lacked a killer instinct. I think Sarah knew her stuff, but just couldn't put herself in the shoes of the press corps. I think she was pretty shocked that someone would ask the questions they asked, and wasted a lot of energy just getting over the sheer ridiculousness and fecklessness of the questions. With Sarah it was "I can't believe you're asking such a stupid and mean-spirited question." With Kayleigh it was "I figured you were going to ask that, and here's why you shouldn't have."

  49. Alex Jones espouses principles of liberty and freedom, opposes big government and crony capitalism, and has some whacked out stuff to say about current events that is WAY ahead of the news, to the point that it just sounds crazy. Like the pedophile rings he was ranting about. Again, CRAZY. Next thing you know, you're reading about a thousand arrest warrants being served all across the country. So he's got some sources. He just comes out with some of it so far in advance of mainstream media. That said, I've seen more than a little info-wars stories/videos that were a little light on the facts and biased as hell. Selling a narrative more than being news. But that's OK. Other channels/networks do it as much or more than Alex. ALL news outlets are over the top in some way or another, or pushing an agenda, or protecting somebody with money from negative coverage, or something. And that's fine. It's human nature. But the pretense of objective news has gone out the window, which it should've done, the moment someone uttered the phrase "Farness Doctrine."
