  1. We set 'em up for this by carving out Israel by force in 1948. It wasn't our place. However much I sympathize, the millennia old ethnic antipathy between Jews and Arabs isn't resolved by our endless, ceaseless interventions, at great cost in wealth to us and at great cost in lives and livelihoods for hundreds of thousands in the region. I don't know what the answer is, but I do know I'm sick and tired of paying for my leaders' adventures, whimsies and illusions. The USA is caught in a giant sunk-cost fallacy that just vacuums up LIFE and ENERGY, instead of BUILDING something GOOD. I don't see how Israel can survive without becoming something God most definitely didn't intend.

  2. What the moderate left don't understand - and why it's so hard for them to call out the far left - is because at root, the far left are not crossing any philosophical Rubicons to get where they are. They're simply applying leftist principles, and following where the reasoning from those principles lead. So the moderates can see the madness, but they can't delineate where the line between "rational leftism" and madness is. It's because the entire project is morally and intellectually bankrupt, as is ANY philosophy that sets government about the people. For the moderates to take on the far left is for the moderates to admit that the foundations of their belief system are sand.

  3. The left is just a way for us to return voluntarily to serfdom, with bureaucrats and politicians exercising the Divine Right of Kings over the rest of us muck, because they're smarter, more capable, and are "nobly" taking on the responsibility for the well-being of others out of some misplaced sense of "White Man's Burden."

  5. You can see what they're doing, but nobody can stop it because Democrats run media, education, and government.

  10.  @wannalon1771  How do you think China would treat us in trade when you know how they treat their own people? They're a crime syndicate with totalitarian powers. Sadly, our country is on its way in that same direction. Our one saving grace is the incompetence and fecklessness of socialists. They're as good at fooling themselves as they are at fooling us.

  11. Chinese engineering is fine. But by the time you get all the way down to the subcontractors who actually do the work, after all the contractors have taken their slice of the pie, you get the lowliest people doing the actual work with substandard materials, because most of the money is lining people's pockets. I think it's to the Chinese people's credit that they accomplish so much in spite of their corrupt, top-heavy system. That's why China will always be a paper tiger. Brilliant people. Hardworking people. Ruled by murderers and thieves. And if we're not careful and we don't re-think the madness of giving politicians the power to do anything they please, we will end up just like them. Our current government is rotten at the core. The same rotten core that attacked Trump from within now have the bosses they always wanted, so it's corruption without consequence stretching as far as the eye can see. Trump wasn't a bad guy. He was just a threat to an intricate ecosystem of kickbacks and mutual favors between insiders.

  12. Climate or COVID. Hysteria about ONE thing overrides all else. What's next? What else will we have to sacrifice so a small minority can "feel good" about one issue? "We saved the planet. Sorry it cost you your livelihood and your life."

  13.  @jigsawpuzzle4389  I think we all know how Biden ended up in the studio that looks like the Oval Office. It wasn't by winning a free, fair and transparent election.

  14.  @arbortree3007  With 40% transmission losses getting that electricity from the plant to your car, you're burning about twice as much fossil fuel to power that car than if you just used it directly to power a gas-powered vehicle. That's how California solved its air pollution problem. It buys coal-generate electricity from Wyoming and sends it at great cost to California, polluting the atmosphere twice as much as they would without California's child-like "not in my backyard but yours is OK" approach to the environment.

  15.  @shaynegadsden  That's part of the scam. Maintaining an older vehicle is WAY more environmentally friendly than ANYthing they're doing with EVs. But if people keep their cars 20 or 30 years, auto makers don't make enough money to be happy. The crowd who are pushing EVs are the same crowd who don't want us repairing our "durable" goods. They want us buying new cars and new phones and new computers every yer, at great economic and environmental cost, while lecturing US about our energy sins. If car makers want to save the planet, they should build cars to last a lifetime.

  16.  @thh383  Do some research on how France and other countries handle it. Pollution - including radiation - from coal power - is many times that of nuclear power, when you assess risk rationally.

  19. @EveryIsnaad IsFabricated Neocons/Neolibs certainly DID cheer that war, which is why BOTH party establishments hated and reviled him, and also why Trump is tremendously popular with the conservative base and independents. But you are correct that the Republican establishment cheered for it. That's why "Trump supporters" created the term "RINO" and are hell bent on purging these career politicians from the party.

  20.  @UncleMort  They will double down on lunacy until they are removed from office, and beyond. But at least when they're removed, they can't abuse the powers of the state.

  21. It's the same strategy Hitler used when the bill for his disastrous socialist schemes came due. Use government-controlled media to de-humanize "the enemy" and government-controlled schools to indoctrinate the youth. Where did it all start? Government-run health care instituted by Bismarck. History teaches where this all leads, and our leaders do it, anyway. It's either willful ignorance or malign intent. I don't see any in-between. Help me out, here.

  24.  @talkingfurkids  Tulsi's a big-government progressive. Just because she points out some of its ills doesn't mean she doesn't want bigger government and more power for politicians.

  25. Tulsi's very progressive (i.e. socialist) on the tax-and-spend side of things. But conservatives and other civil libertarians agree with most true progressives on matters of war and peace and government - especially prosecutorial - overreach. There are those calling themselves "progressive" who are just shills for the uni-party establishment. These are the ones you see on all the corporate/government networks that insist on calling themselves "the resistance." Tulsi was the only Democrat whom I thought could legitimately defeat Donald Trump, but the DNC had to get rid of her, because she abhors U.S. foreign policy and endless war-making around the world. But with universal mail-in and other violations of election law "due to COVID," they installed the Potato.

  26. If governments had their act together and truly served the people's interests, politics would be boring. I like boring. Instead, I get the excitement of seeing people argue over how they're going to change things, because they got everything wrong, before.

  28. They put the money man in charge of fact-checking the story. Peter Daszak. Fauci's a buddy of his. We took his word for it. Conflict of interest from top to bottom of the public-health mafia. In it up to their necks with Big Pharma. If it please God, may they face the music for the atrocities they committed and continue committing.

  29. Great idea! Get the government involved in regulating speech! Nah. Just let these dinosaur networks and print media wither and die for lack of viewership. There's big money behind them, so there's a lot of inertia. They can lose money almost indefinitely. But they will eventually be dropped because why prop them up if they're no longer useful?

  30.  @odisy64  Climate change is a fact. The question is what to do about it. So far, all we've gotten from the hysterical types is "let's export the pollution to other countries and starve our own most vulnerable." There are a lot of people working on greener ways of living. Governments come up with top-down, one-variable "solutions" that enrich a few billionaires while doing little to really change anything. Same with COVID. Totally unsustainable and nonsensical responses by governments that hurt the average guy and made a few billionaires a lot of money.

  31. "Woke" is the religion that emerged in the wake of rejection of Christianity. Deprive people of religion, they will find something ELSE to believe in without evidence. And like any young religion, you've got an outsized and outspoken "Puritan" contingent who try to - and typically succeed - in hijacking the thing for their own purposes, usually greed and ego, attacking their critics as subhuman heretics.

  32. ... as if Canadians are capable of electing anyone better! LOL! It's a country that wants nanny government, and Trudeau's what you get when you're that far gone. And I don't think much more of the USA.

  33. As a descendant of Druids and a closet tree-hugger, I believe humans can and should be a positive force in the ecosystem. That doesn't mean I think authoritarian use of force by misguided and under-educated politicians, bureaucrats, and self-interested robber barons (who ALWAYS feast when government intervenes) will get us to a better place. Look. People care about the environment more than ever before in human history. Environmental friendliness is a deeply inculcated value in our culture (USA). You want a greener planet? De-regulate and cut taxes. Compensate for the de-regulation by putting 10% of the money wasted on government agencies into the TORT SYSTEM. Make it quick and easy for the common man to sue anyone - including a mega-corporation - for ANY harm caused by that company. You think companies wouldn't clean up their act? All of a sudden, a $10,000 check to the regional rep for the EPA does you no good. You just better not dump that stuff in the river, because of the millions of little guys downstream who can take a $10,000 swipe at you in, say, small claims. Don't need more laws and regs. Just need a tort system that's robust enough to handle a gazillion LITTLE cases, expeditiously. As a libertarian, I think if you removed government barriers to competition, every home with a yard and a tree or trees would have a rocket stove mass heater that you could always heat your house and make hot water and cook with, no matter what happened to the grid, plus you'd have a really clean and efficient backup heat system. But due to regulations, I don't think there're more than one or two companies who make rocket mass heaters that are UL listed and be covered by homeowner's insurance. What there SHOULD be is 1,000 or 10,000 guys out there, all making rocket mass heaters (RMHs), in competition with each other for performance, safety, ease of use and durability. We don't have that. Why? Because government insists on "helping" us with everything. How did things ever improve before government stepped in with regulations? Regular customers and the rewards of treating people right. There'll always be fly-by-nighters, but in an unregulated market, you just go by the company's REPUTATION, and it's hard for anybody without a reputation to break in. They have to offer really good deals just so people will try them out. None of that requires a government overseer...

  34. "Rules-based-order" is a way to weasel around saying "law," and they can't use the word "law" because they trample international law underfoot, daily.

  37. Even if CDC faithfully reported the data, the data collection, itself, is highly suspect. Lots of people died from other causes, but were added to the COVID list, because of PROFIT and POLITICS. This causes me to believe that negative side-effects of the vaccine will be vastly UNDER-reported.

  43.  @HDHQDIRECT  That's an exaggeration, but yeah. Total air superiority makes it 100% 1-sided in open battle. American forces haven't contended with any great powers or superpowers. Not really. They had no problem defeating/destroying Hussein's anti-aircraft capability, and from then on, we did whatever we pleased whenever we pleased. I say "we," but I disassociate myself from the decision to make war.

  44. "This is a threat to our democracy." Yes. You no longer own all the elections. It's a threat to Democrat hegemony, which THEY see as a threat to democracy, itself. "We're supposed to win all the elections! REEEEEEEEEEEEE!" The only authoritarians I see are Democrats. Lock us down. Tell us what we can or cannot say. Decide what misinformation is, based on its danger to your pet narratives.

  45. Why do you think they impeached Trump a 2nd time? Massive coverup of corruption that Trump was getting too close to exposing in connection to Ukraine.

  47. Left and right make the mistake of characterizing each other by the craziest members on each side. The redeeming feature of the right is that the lunatics aren't calling the shots; whereas, the most radical on the left are at the controls.

  48. Meanwhile, slave laborers in iPhone factory in China are on strike, due to lockdowns and terrible working conditions. Just like most male feminists, who virtue signal to find bed mates, the hypocrisy of Apple is over the top.

  49. The education establishment defines passing as "success." The easiest way to get more "success" is to lower standards. They put all kinds of edu-babble around it, but speaking as a teacher, the downward pressure on standards is always there, no matter how they dress it up. Where I work, they now push "co-requisites" for college algebra, because students are so poorly prepared for it. So we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars per pupil in k-12, and none of it matters. The college is force-feeding high-school (intermediate) algebra to students on a "just in time" basis, so now college algebra is college algebra plus all the stuff you were supposed to learn, but we know you didn't, because we know k-12 sucks. It's a horrific waste of taxpayer money. It's a HUGE duplication of effort, if you count k-12 as "effort." It increases the cost of a college education, waters down college education, and never gets at the root of the problem, which is social promotion in k-12. But at least we're brimming over with "success!"
