  1.  @elliottgaal9774  Many of the people screeching about their freedoms, now, were people screaming for free this or free that, slowly growing the state over the decades to the point where even THEY feel the pinch of incompetent and malignant government overreach. It was just a matter of time.

  2.  @nancyayers6355  : Hillary's the card sharp who KNOWS the other guy cheated, because it's impossible for him to have 3 Aces when she KNOWS she dealt him an 8-high hand. Thieves KNOW everybody else is dishonest. Cheaters assume everybody's cheating them. The only racists I see, nowadays, are the race-baiters.

  4.  @commentfreely5443  : We're witnessing an inversion of the 1960s, when kids rebelled against a conservative society that had descended into dogma and justified itself with "God said" and "because it's how we've always done things," without any really satisfying explanation. Kids could see the disconnect between what they were being taught and the larger reality around them. The same thing is happening, now. The "rebel" is now a guy who dares wear a MAGA hat to school. And he's COOL, because he's the only one with the GUTS to call bullshit on 800 genders and men dressing as women to steal a peek in the ladies' room.

  5. USA's hands are clean, because all we did was engineer a coup in Ukraine in 2014, and create a civil war there, that nobody's talking about, but which has been waged against Donbass for 8 years.

  8.  @almac9203  He's critical of his own country. Maybe he'll get around to criticizing other countries. The establishments of the West are out of touch, violent, authoritarian, and feckless. It's a toxic brew for citizens of the once-free West, which has crumbled from within, NOT because of its liberties, but in its mistaken belief that granting government power was somehow consistent with individual liberty and self-determination.

  9. Yup. Every last one of 'em should be fired and give up any licenses they have.

  10. No, it's not. It's just one of the bigger ones out there. EPOCH Times is good. Just The News is good. Newsmax and sometimes FOX will give you the partisan take from the other side from the Democrat/Establishment take. There're more and more great channels out there. But American Legacy Media is obsolete. It's fine if you just want to know what the Democrat Party wants you to hear. But it's worthless in every other respect.

  11. Corporations should be prohibited from making political contributions of any kind. If board members or execs want to donate out of their OWN pockets, they are free to do so. But it has to be individuals only. Any democratic government should be bound by that. You're giving big money a bigger voice than the people. It's disgusting.

  12.  @dominicpelle7841  Trump's under investigation for obstruction in the RussiaGate hoax. The people running the hoax are still covering-up how THEY sold us out to the Russians (Uranium-1 and the corruption in Ukraine). It's all a distraction. Consider yourself successfully distracted. But that's how America works, now, and how you appear to like things. Attack someone unfairly and then accuse them of cheating for defending themselves. Like the guy who shot his attacker going to jail and his attacker getting a million dollars on GoFundMe.

  13. @Tiffany Roberts That's right, Tiffany. The biggest criminals in our country, today, work for the U.S. Department of Justice and CIA.

  15. The people asked government to take care of them in all things and now act surprised when government runs amuck. It's predictable. It's frustrating, but everybody wants something for nothing, so government "free stuff" is never going away until the major institutions crumble and fall of their own incompetence and dead weight.

  16. We knew it was government censorship, all along. We are living Orwell's "1984" and have been for decades. We just couldn't prove it in court. The same people censoring also control the courts and law enforcement.

  19.  @joesixpence3447  The West allowed them into the world trade community without having to abide by any of the rules. Make them abide by the rules or stop trading with them. They will wither on the vine if we do that. They're a 3rd World nation and it will be obvious if we just stop propping them up.

  21. I don't know how it compares to the USA, but people with construction skills have no shortage of opportunities here in the states. Every contractor I know is booked for weeks or months and can't keep up with the demand. Their skills are essential, and it's about damn time Atlas shrugged!

  22. They were all going to "enjoy unusually heavy snow fall." Sounds like rich people on ski holiday. That would explain why so many died. Rich people tend not to take the gear with them. It would be inconvenient to do all that packing and hauling baggage around. It's easier to just buy the gear after they get there. I can see rich people and/or lowlands/city people getting themselves in trouble. I doubt anybody from the area died. I used to live in Gunnison, Colorado, and I saw a lot of that. Rich people fly in, buy the gear they need, and then sell it before they leave (actually dump it at 2nd-hand shop on consignment). It's like renting, only they never have to use anything that's tainted by somebody else. Lots of 2nd-hand gear that's just been used once in places like that. Gunnison is just down the road from Crested Butte, where there's some world class powder (snow. not cocaine). I bought some high-quality gear at bargain prices by living there. $300 GoreTex jacket for $80. Not a thing wrong with it. Good-as-new Sorels for $30. I'm more like you. I've traveled all over the American Rocky Mountain West and NorthWest, following my trade around the region, with lots of trips back home and to various places I wanted to see. And I lived on the road pretty much the same as I lived at the house, right down to the dishes and cookware I used in the kitchen. I'm a lot older, now and can afford separate camp kitchen, but I still go on the road the same way I always did. Raiding the kitchen the day before you leave is just automatic! LOL! Getting trapped in a snow storm would just be a chance to camp where they'd ordinarily chase you off! All that being said, perishing of the cold and/or dehydration is an unexpected and unpleasant end for ANYbody. My heart goes out.

  25. This is stuff everybody who's not on legacy-media-echo-chamber lockdown knows. Sky News is the only network out of Australia that will cover this. Their other media, like ABC, are part of the BORG that absorbed CNN and CBS.

  26. The fact that Schiff and Pelosi (and many others) remain in office tells you all you need to know about who has the power, and that resistance is futile.

  28. First we need government to get out of 90% of what it's into. It's into so much that there aren't enough people to oversee its entirety. Congress has created so many agencies and bureaucratic positions that it's IMPOSSIBLE to oversee the sprawling and corrupt monster we call the U.S. Government. Intelligence agencies accountable to NO ONE. Food and Drug Administration is accountable to NO ONE. NIH and NIAID are accountable to NO ONE. The list goes on and on. I've seen the oversight hearings, in spots, over the last 40 years, and there's simply no accountability in ANY government program. They're all playing with Monopoly money - i.e., somebody else's money, and no one cares how much it costs or the quality of what is produced. Just so they can say they're "doing something" and "spending lots of money" on a problem.

  29. The censorship has been going on since World War II. They were more subtle, and there were no alternatives to check against for most of that time. It's so much a part of government-media CULTURE that it's just the way things are done, and most of the people participating take it so much for granted, they're blatant about it. Just remember, any time someone brags about public-private partnership, they're advocating for a fascist model of governance.

  30.  @iggy5347  Yes, the people in Hong Kong were more free under Great Britain than they will be under China. But the British had no right to even BE there to HAVE a Hong Kong, in the first place, and what they did in the Opium Wars is a blot on British history. That being said, I consider Hong Kong to BE China, at this point, and I don't want Mainland products passed off as made by free people in free Hong Kong, when they aren't. Any special privileges enjoyed by Hong Kong should cease as soon as possible, because it's 100% China, now, no matter how they dress it up. And I don't want cheaper products at the price of propping up tyranny. If it's not obvious that China is an oppressive and tyrannical totalitarian state under CCP, then you need to catch up on your China Uncensored. I think China becomes a backwater if we hold it accountable and insist on fair and transparent trade. They don't meet the transparency or fairness criteria. They're rogue traders we did a favor to allow into the world trade community, on the assumption that they would behave better if we treated them nice. We know beyond a doubt that they just kept up with their same old ways. We don't need to fight them. But we don't need to do business with them, either.

  31. It depends on who's in charge. Under Bush's, Clinton and Obama, it was non-stop de-stabilization and regime change, functionally identical to colonial empires of the 17th - 20th Centuries, only with better tech and more sophisticated media. There's a mind-set in the foreign-policy establishment that insists that we not abandon x, y or z because we made promises to freedom fighters. If we abandon the Kurds, it will make it harder for us to recruit freedom fighters in the future! That was Bolton's thinking. I think Trump foolishly let himself get talked into protecting those oil fields in NE Syria, on behalf of the Kurds. There's all this bad policy that was justified during the Cold War and now there's a "sunk-cost fallacy" embedded in all their thinking. Rather than cut their losses and admit that meddling extra-legally, abroad, is just non-stop blowback, they talk about all the years and money investing in "developing assets abroad." Well, maybe the American people don't want U.S.-funded paramilitary all over the planet. Today's freedom fighter is tomorrow's terrorist. Our foreign-policy wonks set us up for this, time and time again, and are never held accountable. Their main skill is in smearing those who dare challenge them or call them to account.

  34. Deflect and laugh. Dismiss the question. Repeat. It's her modus operandi. It wears thin after one time. Joe's schtick is different, but the same deal. After he's done it, once, you despise him every time after. I've despised him since the '70s. His best feature in his 2020 campaign was that nobody watched or listened to him. Couldn't.

  37. He also called off-the-shelf drugs that WORKED "experimental" while pushing HIS experimental drug. He even participated in the changing of the definition of both "gain-of-function" and "vaccine," to remove all obstacles to the global distribution of an untested drug that made Pfizer BILLIONS in windfall profits.

  39.    : Yes. "Communist" and "Fascist" are like "Ford" and "Chevrolet." Just different makes and models, but the same essential functionality.

  40.    : The main distinction you could make would be that the Nazi government didn't OWN the means of production; whereas, in socialism/communism, state ownership is explicit. Thus you could argue that the U.S. system (and most of Europe) is essentially fascist. The government doesn't OWN Boeing. It just tells Boeing what to do. And Boeing, in turn, tells government what to do, in a relationship that is absolutely toxic to everybody not directly involved. One of the great ironies of our time is that the most militantly anti-fascist among us are the most fascist among us. They want state control of everything, an abolition of free markets, and suppression of any speech against their ideology as "hate speech."

  41. @CPT Ivanitchyanus : You're too smart not to use paragraphs. "Left" originally meant you thought maybe the monarchy ought to loosen up and treat us commoners better. Its original meaning was essentially "Speak truth to power." If anything, it was the limited government side of things, aimed against the power of the monarch. Now it's kind of flipped, and "left" means you want to see civilian self-rule mutate back into all the forms of the aristocracies we set aside, when we common folk began governing ourselves. The bureaucrats are the new courtiers and nobles. It's even become hereditary. Once you're in the establishment hierarchy, your kids are magically accepted to all the finest schools, and from those schools, they are fast-tracked into the power structure's top spots. At leas that's how I see things happening in the USA. We're evolving towards the same old privilege-by-birth setup. It's how we're programmed, genetically. That's why hereditary forms are so persistent. Darwin's game. Folks want to do right by their kids...

  42.  @Mercmad  : These are the exact same tactics of the Bolsheviks in the Russian Revolution. Yell, scream, stall, obfuscate until people get exhausted and go home. Then vote for all Bolshevik policies when the majority remaining are Bolshies. These tactics work very well in a state of disorganized chaos. But in societies that largely function very well, Antifa are just fringe lunatics nobody really has to listen to. The last few years are as far as they can take it, and it will come at the cost of a major right-wing reaction that may be over-reaction, depending on how far we let the lunatics go before we say "Enough is enough and no more! NO MORE!" Much of Europe, Australia, USA and Canada are getting to the Enough is Enough point.

  44.  @sypher0101  : You got it right except for the "far right" piece. But everybody gets the left-right thing wrong, especially now, after decades of the left being on top, becoming the establishment, and as such, becoming the new "conservative." Meh. None of it matters. A critical mass, a super-majority of Westerners, now basically believe in a fascist setup, with government running education and health care, just like Bismarck taught Hitler. We see how the Nazis brainwashed entire generations and then we turn right around and defend public schools under centralized control. AFAIC, government programs were invented to maintain the ascendancy of the existing political class. Industrialization had us common folk getting mighty independent, creative, and uppity, so the ruling elites had to do something to put the focus back on them. The people finally weaned themselves off the Jünkers, and immediately hopped in Der Fuehrer's lap. Nobody learned from WW II. We became what we said we were fighting. We're absolute dumb-asses, when you get right down to it. Staring us in the face. And nobody sees it.

  47. Just heard that Hillary got her license to practice law back. The Arkansas Bar let her back in. Some say this is so she can be eligible to be Attorney General for the 2020 Democrat Presidential Winner! LOL! Can you imagine? You got disbarred. You haven't practiced law for 30-plus years, but because you're Hillary, all you have to do is talk Arkansas into reinstating you, even though you were disbarred for corruption. That's enough for her to be the top lawyer in the country.

  49. Trump built up the reserve when the Saudis dumped a bunch of cheap oil in the market to generate a lot of revenue and put a crimp in oil production, worldwide, with a temporary glut. Biden is now selling off our Strategic Reserve as a band-aid on the arterial wounds he's inflicted on production, distribution, and refining of petroleum products on which the world still very much depends. These are the same people who could've solved CO2 emissions decades ago, but were too hysterical about atomic power. They also loved hydro power until they saw what it did to river ecosystems.
