  1. China needs to be treated like the Marxist dictatorship it is. Never should've let them into the WTO. Major mistake, thinking that feeding the dragon would reform the dragon.

  2. "Woke, authoritarian progressives" is redundant.

  3. 90% of us know that the "office of diversity and equity" is actually the "office of division and iniquity." 10% of us don't, and another 40% are afraid to rock the boat out of fear of what lunatic leftists might do to us.

  4. That whole "grab 'em by the pussy" thing was basically about women in a beauty contest throwing themselves at the judges, of which he was one.

  5. The pull-out of 2,000 troops in Syria is NOTHING compared to the 40,000 we have in the region and whom the 2,000 will join. But it's a step in the right direction towards a more disciplined (military) spending profile in the federal budget. Reducing the likelihood of war is GREAT for the budget. Getting NATO countries to pay for their OWN defense is a good thing, budgetarily. And Trump doesn't have to make any big cuts in the welfare state to get the domestic side to come down. Work requirements for able-bodied food stamps recipients has had a HUGE impact wherever it's been implemented. Don't want to call anybody a freeloader, but it seems that a sizable percentage of people can get along without food stamps, when there's work attached. Still a lot of work to do on multi-generation welfare way of life, where babies are brought into this world in a totally disrespectful way (into shithole family and community situations), when they're not killed before birth. Democrats want to address the shit that happens. Republicans want less bad shit to happen in the first place, and it starts with the family, and Democrat policies that destroy family.

  8. Be sure to bring up Hearst when people say they yearn for the "good old days," when news was objective. It's NEVER been objective. The 1st Amendment is there to protect dissident/dissenting speech, based on the ORIGINAL PAMPHLETEERS of the American Revolution. It used to be more subtle, is all. I noticed this in the 1970s, when I was coming of age. They "objectively reported" what they reported on, but unless you did a lot of digging, you wouldn't know how many things they chose NOT to report, thereby suppressing 'inconvenient truths.' In the '70s, though, you didn't have 100 people on the street with video cameras in their hand-held devices, so when legacy media cherry-pick and slant reports on Antifa actions or the Covington Kids, there's a viral video from INDEPENDENT media that shows what's REALLY happening. Doesn't mean I trust independent media. I just want to see competing media (not media oligopolies) put it all out there, and let the public pick and choose what's more believable. I like biased reporting, and I want to see left, right, middle, space-alien, and overweight bubble-gum chewers to put out what THEY see, and fact check ALL the SOBs.

  11.  @itsokaytobeclownpilled5937  : Perhaps you haven't noticed the frenzied resistance he's met at every turn. I think Repubs AND Dems would've banded together to impeach him if he'd pulled out of Syria before this. You have to prepare the ground before you. And really, bad as illegal immigration is, IF we can control the border and return to SANE immigration policy, then the illegals who are already here just mainly need to be assimilated. The key is to stem the FLOW. If we do THAT, then we can absorb the people already here, no problem. Just turn off the welfare cornucopia. If you are here in this country, and aren't a citizen, and can't show means of support, then go back where you came from. We USED to require those attempting to enter our country to SHOW that they could support themselves, before allowing them in. What? You're just here for the Free Stuff? Sorry. We're fresh out. Turns out that we're gonna take care of our OWN, first. And that's the hole in the left's argument for open borders. You're leaving your own people in a bind just so you can virtue signal. If I were a poor person in the U.S., I wouldn't vote Democrat at ALL, until they pull their heads out of their asses on open borders. They swamp poorer communities with illegals and the crime that comes with them. It's destroying a sizable chunk of the butt-hurt-and-guilty-elitist-white-liberal coalition.

  12. It's only fair. Without famous parents, mediocrities like Hunter Biden and Chelsea Clinton wouldn't come within a country mile of the boards on which they sit. ALL their opportunities are from connection to powerful parents. The parents who made it possible deserve their illegal kickbacks.

  15. All leftists believe in using authoritarian means to solve economic and social problems. They're on a slippery slope and really struggle to make real distinctions between what they believe and what their radical brethren believe, It's all founded on the "It's OK for me to use force, because I'm right" principle, and that means that liberals are either deluded or closet aristocrats.

  17. Every accusation they make comes from what's in their own heads. They know how they think and how they behave, and they project those thoughts and behaviors on everyone else, like a career criminal who's sure everybody around him is trying to steal from him, because that's what HE would do.

  18. BOORISHNESS IS AN AMERICAN TRADITION. WE'VE BEEN OFFENDING THE ARISTOCRATS AND OTHER ELITES SINCE WE DARED TO RULE OURSELVES, RATHER THAN BEND THE KNEE TO THE NOBILITY. Trouble is, we have our own aristocracy on the rise, and it's a toxic mixture of super-rich and the "experts" and "technocrats" who do their bidding. The original aristocracy wasn't much different. Your great-great-grand-daddy killed a lot of people on the battlefield 100 years ago and that makes you a blue blood, who's somehow superior by birthright. The so-called "nobility" were merely the descendants of people who were good at killing in some bygone time.

  26. There are more poor whites than blacks in the USA. They're just more spread out and a smaller fraction of whites than the fraction of blacks who are poor. But really, we've been interbreeding in the USA for centuries, now, and the IDEA of 'black' and 'white' is obsolete.

  30. I think this will push a paradigm shift that is already taking place. Victory gardens/greenhouses in every back yard. Edibles growing in window boxes. Making homes off-grid compatible, with smarter construction.

  31. Proud Boys have been smeared as white supremacists from Day 1, because they stand up against violent leftists. They're only racist in the eyes of people who buy into the intersectionalist religion. Everyone is racist to those types of people, and the broader left is all to eager to reinforce those labels, as soon as their most radical brothers raise the hue and cry. To these people, free speech must fall in order to combat hate speech. Proud Boys oppose that way of thinking, and so are automatically white supremacists even though they are more ethnically diverse than the mostly white antiFA types who hate them and brand them as racists, with no evidence other than their divergent political views.

  32. They're idiots and don't even understand the English language.

  33. Yes. And what seemed like odd passivity in spots may turn out to be just LETTING them win, and letting the world see what happened. I think if Trump had acted any sooner, we might have had a coup, already. He pushes, but not too hard. Then lets the Dems beat him on procedural grounds, and they can't help themselves. They twist the process all out of shape and no one stops them. But if you look across the Atlantic, you see how the center-left have done basically the same thing, and the people are rising up. "You don't represent us!" UK voted for BREXIT, but the bureaucrats in London and Brussels have fought it tooth and nail, by controlling the decision-making process at the top. The people are getting sick and tired of that shit, and are finally rising in rebellion. It's ugly stuff for the center-left in Europe, and any thinking person, watching the American Left use the exact same tactics to secure short-term WIN, knows this will lead to the shattering of the center-left coalition, and a rapid growth of support for the right and center-right.

  36. Media have always been partisan. It's the whole point of the 1st Amendment. We FORGOT that in the 20th Century, when the government made rules that supposedly ensured the news would be objective. LOL! Since WW II, at least, the major networks have been hand-in-glove with Washington insiders. They trade access to the highest offices for reporting pleasing to them. In entertainment, the Fandom Menace calls it "access media." All the juiciest insider stuff in Hollywood comes from media outlets who are all buddy-buddy with Hollywood insiders. Insider access gives you a real competitive advantage with other outlets.

  37. Slowly? Between Depression-Era programs and emergency measures to win World War II, we've been pretty fascist since your grandmother was a baby.

  39.  @ECP90  : Actually, Fascism is the means by which Western societies "Progress" into Socialism. And when you're on that insane path, you set yourself up for the exact kinds of economic and social crises that drive the most regressive and violent factions on the left. When you look at the American system, we have adopted virtually every feature of Nazi Germany's political economy, with government over everything, nothing outside of government, and nothing against government. Stranglehold on the public square that only the Internet has broken, which is why the elites are feeling so threatened, right now. They only have about half of the dumbest citizens on their side, and falling fast. The majority they saw stretching out endlessly before them has imploded, with libertarian values held by most people, EVERYwhere, are beginning to express themselves in the polls. Hitherto captive voting blocs are peeling away from the Democrats. If more than 10% or so of blacks vote Republican, it DESTROYS the Democrats. And Trump's popularity among black MEN is climbing upwards of 30% in some polls. The wahmen are still 90% Free Stuff for Me, but the men are waking up.

  45. The 1970s-2000s Democrats did nothing but store up social, economic and political problems, with their disgusting demagoguery, buying votes and posturing as peaceniks, until violence abroad meant fat defense contracts in their districts. They made it socially unacceptable to in any way question the welfare state and the damage it does in the name of doing good. We're finally seeing some push-back when we're on the verge of taking the plunge into full-on socialism and the destruction THAT will bring. (Move over, Venezuela.). I feel like Christ on a Cross, for they know not what they do.

  46.  @Chuckles..  I had a boss who shared "confidences" that were lies, just to test me, like Tyrion Lannister. He never heard one of those lies come back to him, and after a year or so, I had his complete faith and trust. Anything he told me in confidence never went any further. I think the Trump admin needs to do some of this, to flush out the remaining Obama acolytes.

  47. When it comes to Congress, it's because of their rules. The only thing a Congress member can't say is anything bad about another Congress member. But in general, it's because lying isn't a crime. It's a sin. Some people (most) seem to prefer a lie that makes them feel better than the brutal, harsh truth.

  48. You're more fair and balanced than most. I don't much worry about balance. I achieve balance by listening to left, right and in-between. I'd rather a guy be up front with what tribe he represents than pretend to be objective when he's not. That's why I've detested CBS/NBC/ABC since before you were born, Tim.

  49. No. The people doing it were the idiots captured by establishment media, which is captured by globalists and Chinese. Such people have very bad memories. You see them in the USA all the time. You know. The people spouting every day's/week's left-media talking points, which as often as not, CONTRADICT the talking points of the previous day or week. There is NO cognitive dissonance for such NPCs, because they don't REMEMBER what they were saying the week before! They just download the nightly news to their buffers and then clear their caches the next day. It's like yesterday never happened for these people. They're just looking to the establishment for what to think on any given day.

  50. I can remember when we didn't trust Marxist dictatorships. Must be getting old. I don't think the flu is worse, but it's still killed a lot more people than the Wuhan variety. And there have been flu epidemics that killed as many (by proportion) as the worst-case Wuhan scenarios. Hopefully, by common-sense distancing and rapid research on treatments, we'll get a handle on this Wuhan thing, which is apparently VERY contagious, and is deadly to some people.

  62. LOL! "... better prepared to deal with misinformation campaigns..." What a joke! Their policing of content is the problem! They'll use their new algorithms to suppress more conservatives, because that's how they do. Most of their scrambling to supposedly eliminate misinformation is at the behest of a more and more liberal customer base, because people who think for themselves are leaving the platform in droves. They're on path to becoming another liberal echo-chamber backwater in the public discourse. I say "Let 'em."

  63.  @edstringer1138  : For a long time, suppression of dissenting ideas from on high was a lot harder to hide, because there were no alternatives to the major papers and major networks. The explosion of independents makes it impossible to control the public square as once they did. But they still hold a lot of low-info voters in thrall.

It's not a skin color thing. Larry Bird and Magic Johnson were from different-colored versions of the same exact thing. Same values. Not rich. Brothers and sisters. Hard-working parents. But the hipster types tend to be brought up in bubbles, where most of the tough shit is made-up drama, when regular folks face REAL drama, every day, and Momma ain't got TIME for the vapors or neurosis. Real folks, Momma's gotta get up and do the daily grind or the world that depends on her falls apart.

  78. I downplayed it, early on, too. It sounded like more wacky conspiracy theories from legacy media. And I practice some social distancing every March, anyway, because of the annual flu season, which we never take seriously enough. I didn't know it was engineered to destroy lung tissue. Epoch Times reports that Wuhan labs were BRAGGING about the new strain that destroyed lung tissue in lab mice, and that it was planning on research on primates. Since the outbreak, the lab's been silent.

  79. The more government does, the more government is obliged to do, because government action erodes the power and self-responsibility of the individual. The LESS government does, the less government is obliged to do, because the PEOPLE cope with MOST of their problems, WITHOUT ANY HELP.

  80. Don't wreck what works for the vast majority of people, to prop up a small segment. If you're liberal and you want to make a change, don't look to government force to solve it. YOU help somebody. As a conservative, that's what I do. And I figure if everybody who likes to virtue-signal and take my money for their compassion got off their ass and helped just one person, we'd solve the homeless problem - for example - one person at a time, without any force. I took in a vision-impaired person, who just needed a safe, quiet place to take classes on Internet skills, as a vision-impairment assistant to website developers (a growth industry). This isn't a hard case, but it did help a guy who fell through the cracks. Just one. And that's how it works. If you haven't taken anybody in, yourself, then shut your mouth about "living wage." It's going straight from idealism to unintended destruction, which is the calling card of the left. In the cities where the homeless problem is out of control, I see a ton of virtue-signalers and a bunch of mansions occupied by virtue signalers with NO homeless being taken in. No INDIVIDUAL help. Liberals don't understand human nature and how the world works. How compassion works. They think that career unelected bureaucrats know better than people how to help people. But you make a career out of administering programs that take money from one person to give to another. Bureaucrats don't care if they're efficient, nor do they really care about the people they're helping. They end up screwing both taxpayer and beneficiary. all unintended. But after many years of watching how things actually work, I'm more and more convinced that leftists are either stupid, willfully ignorant or liars.

  86. Religious faith and atheism are both leaps of faith that defy reason. Functioning as a sane and humane human being requires some kind of leap of faith. Religious people do the right thing because God Said. Non-religious people do the right thing because they just decided, without any real reason for doing so. Religious people have God's Word to give meaning to their place in the world. Non-religious people have no real meaning to THEIR place in the world. I think you can arrive at a virtually identical system of morals to religious systems, if you accept the axiom "Life Is Good." But without some kind of divine authority, requiring a leap of faith, the axiom, itself, requires a leap of faith. Without God saying "Life Is Good," all you're left with is "Life Is." As an agnostic, I choose to make that leap of faith, without confusing the wisdom of humans with divine inspiration. But I don't kid myself. I don't tell myself "You're just being rational."

I have a nephew who's borderline autistic. Very gentle soul. His gentleness is construed as weakness by bullies. He gets picked on 'til he can't take it. He punches a bully. He gets in trouble and is diagnosed with "anger-management issues." His being bullied is HIS fault. This is exactly the same with Trump, except Trump is not a socially awkward teenager.

  96. It's just sad that 44% of people think the legacy media are doing a pretty good job. That's less than 50%, but still WAY TOO CLOSE to 50% for MY comfort! But I guess I see and deal with such people every day. Some of them I consider friends and colleagues. But when it comes to matters of politics and political economy, I feel at odds with most of the people I talk to, as a free-market libertarian, who's only nationalistic to the extent that other countries don't respect the rights of the individual or their neighbors, and as a slightly better alternative to globalism. I think globalism will arise naturally, if the world DE-centralizes. With the Internet, Dikembe and José are next-door neighbors. But there's always some bastard who wants to run EVERYthing top-down. Or just wants MORE. And it never ends until there is no more 'more,' OR until people evolve beyond the stuffed shirts.

  97. Health insurance executives are trapped. The government tells them what they have to cover, and it can change overnight. So they cozy up to the government to stay in business. Nobody remembers, because it happened so long ago, but health insurance was invented by big corporations as an incentive for prospective employees after Franklin Delano Roosevelt instituted wage freezes during the Great Depression (which FDR capitalized on, to consolidate and perpetuate his power). Big corporations offered health and pension benefits. Before this watershed moment in American history, local charities and benefactors gave to hospitals and built hospitals. The government only makes it SEEM like they're doing a better job than people with actual compassion and charitable instincts. Health care should be a personal and local-community thing, not a slush fund for bureaucrats. Once the government stepped in, the system because essentially socialist/fascist, with a veneer of private enterprise, but CORRUPT private enterprise, because health care providers had to get in good with the government to stay in business. Inevitably, this led to heavy lobbying of Congress to pass laws that protected insurers and health care providers. The end result? Overpriced, low-quality care. This is just how government works, or rather, doesn't work. When you make charity compulsory, you destroy the charitable instinct, and nobody feels any responsibility for their neighbor, because they already pay taxes for that sort of thing, and if anybody's falling through the cracks, that's someone else's fault.

  98. My last visit to a hospital, last spring, was the scariest one yet. Not because of why I was there, but because hospitals have gone full-on bureaucrat, and saving money the way bureaucrats always do: Hire more staff to help the administrators and cut everything else to the bone. Teach nurses NOT to be compassionate. Put doctors into mass production, that is, when they're not filling out reams of paperwork that all the bureaucrats insist is CRUCIAL INFORMATION, until they decide a month later that the don't like the data, so they flush all the work done by everybody under them right down the toilet, while they dream up NEW forms to fill out, in a desperate attempt to feel relevant in an industry to which their only contribution is finding new forms of red tape to cover their own asses with.

  99. News or opinion is a bullshit distinction to make. Your bias is in the facts you choose to report, at the very least. Nobody should kid themselves about "noble objective journalism" or claim that "real journalism" is unbiased. That's a bunch of crap. The 1st Amendment isn't about THE truth. It's about YOUR truth. And it's up to the citizens to decide whose version of the truth is closer to reality. And it changes all the time. A lot of it's half-and-half. Jimmy Dore is a dumb-ass on economic policy and a genius on foreign policy.

  100. Now, to the extent that a channel/reporter gets it closer to the truth than others, you should gravitate to them, but never kid yourself that there's not an axe being ground. Even "trying to be fair," a person has their own misconceptions/blind spots. And that's OK. Just let it all hang out and let others try to tear you to shreds. That's how they get the best mathematicians out of solid graduate programs. You go to the board and your peers do everything possible to destroy your proof. You've gotta have a thick skin and invite criticism. And in the final analysis, that's how we get as close to the truth as possible, generally.

  103. I think most jobs can be re-tooled pretty easily for social distance. I can see all kinds of new jobs opening up, like professional shopping, where one person does multiple orders at once, cutting the contagion by factors of 2, 3 or 4. And I think it's actually more efficient, because it's one person in an efficient vehicle making one slightly extended trip, while everybody else's car stays home. Also niches in education are going to open up, left and right, and teachers across the country are getting crash courses in distance learning. People are going to start WANTING the online experience for education, and there will be teaching jobs left and right. And education will get a TON CHEAPER. The teachers used to BE the school, and NOW it's the ADMINISTRATORS. You can make a teacher pretty rich by hiring them, directly. They don't have to charge much to out-compete what legacy institutions are doing.

  104. 56,000 cremations in Wuhan in 4th quarter of 2019 seems like a huge number, until you figure out that the previous year - a normal year - there were over 54,000 cremations in the same quarter. This is a bump of about 1500 cremations, but not as significant as people are making it. But, really, who knows/believes any of the numbers coming out of Communist China?

  105.  @killcat1971  : Neo-Luddism r'ars its ugly head in yet ANOTHER generation! Automation doesn't eliminate good jobs. It opens up NEW jobs. Every time automation saves a little bit of money for someone, the whole society gets a little richer. More people can afford to hire an artist for that basement mural they always wanted. I think that as the complexities of this world mount, there will be niches opening up for full-time jobs where all you do is handle the grocery shopping and organize the bills. Someone who knows how to play the credit-card game can save a household thousands of dollars, by shifting debt to the new credit card, using it's 1st-year-no-interest for one year, and open up another card in a year or two. There're all kinds of services like that. And who knows what's to come? Maybe they come up with anti-grav back packs and everybody wants a nice landing pad built out in their back yard. Landing-pad builders would then be a thing, employing the same people who used to do wood-frame house construction, before IT went kaput! Thing is, the steady march of progress continues despite all our efforts to mess things up and meddle in 10-variable questions with 1-variable understanding. We don't need to artificially ACCELERATE automation by artificially propping up minimum wage. Minimum wage - like ALL libtard feel-good policies - is an ATTACK on people trying to work their way out of poverty. Libtards always hurt the ones they love, buying their devotion with crumbs. For votes. Libtards see one person in trouble and it's nothing to them to punish all those who are on the ragged edge of being in trouble in order to help that one person who randomly came to their attention and became their focus and sole purpose in life, entitling them to the hard-earned money in your pocket. Your business is BARELY profitable? Well, here are a bunch of extra costs some libtard decided you would have to pay, so the libtard could point to the person he helped. Too bad if your business goes under. We helped the guy we set out to help, and DAMN THE TORPEDOS! FULL SPEED AHEAD! Because we're righter than rightie. The guy who's BARELY paying her (SWIDT?) bills gets destroyed by a 20% increase in energy prices. Everything costs more, especially heating and cooling her home. That "green legislation" that everybody cheered just pushed another 20 million, barely-gettin'-by working poor below the poverty line. Didn't think about THAT added cost. And from the progressive's point of view, if they never hear about or see that person they hurt, then life goes on and they can still feel proud of themselves, because they can go straight to the government for proof that they're doing something for the people they say they care about. The consequences of progressivism are diffuse and the benefits obvious. You can put that guy's face on t.v. that you helped. But nobody's talking about the accumulating weight of small hardships visited on everyone by helping just the one with everybody's money. Most of the time, the average citizen just tightens their belt and soldiers on. Especially the BEST people who are just on hard times. Those are the people that libtards despise and seek to destroy at every opportunity, usually in the name of helping them, but it can also be to "save the planet" or "kill evil Iraqis," and "it's a cost we will gladly pay!" when they've got all THEIR bills on auto-pay and their checking account just grows every month until they have enough to buy another expensive toy. They'll sacrifice the delivery date on their Ferrari, but they don't think about the guy who's postponing new shoes for her kid, who's outgrown the pair he's wearing, now.

  108.  @killcat1971  : I'm a low taxes guy. But luxury tax on a yacht makes perfect sense to me. Of course, if I were RICH, I'd treat it like just another boat in my fishing fleet, because it's cheaper to buy 2 boats and claim them as working boats, than it is to pay taxes on the luxury yacht. I just re-purpose one of my "fleet" for mostly recreation. The nets are just part of the décor. Up-shot? The luxury tax means the rich man bought 2 boats, instead of just one boat. And one of the boats actually makes him money, sometimes.

  112. The so-called "left" hasn't been "left" since it decided socialism was a good idea. Socialism is government paternalism. Government paternalism is inevitably authoritarian. Authoritarianism is reactionary. Reactionaryism is regressive right. The so-called left took a hard turn to the right when it equated its principles of tolerance and compassion with government paternalism. The answer to robber barons isn't government force. It's public awareness, boycotts, and, believe it or not, cancel culture. You want the big corporations to play nice, don't put the government over them. That's how they get on top of government and why government becomes increasingly authoritarian in favor of the fat cats. If you strip the government of that manufactured authority, free flow of information on a free Internet would do all the policing we'd ever want or need.

Other than piss-poor arithmetic, you make some decent points. $1000 a month for everybody means 3 or 4 people can share a house and play all day. Or just sell arts and crafts or something else that's not sustainable without an infusion of cash from taxpayers. Most people want more than that, but many of those people will find it difficult to get off their asses and do much about it, because vague discontent doesn't generally rise to the threshold of the kind of desperation it takes to work your way out of your situation. Not all people are like that, but my brother is. He's generally bummed at what he can't have, but it never rose to the level of his having to bite the bullet and CHANGE his situation. Full belly, lots of sci-fi to read and watch on DVD, warm place, warm bed, roof over his head. He's pretty content, most of the time. I had more strikes against me, and he's probably smarter than I am, but in my stupidity, I worked a LOT of 60-80-hour weeks, supporting myself and earning math and geology degrees.

Cooking and cleaning, day after day, for kids who just take, take, take, and an unloving husband with a beer belly, who hasn't excited me for 10 years? I feel so trapped!" This video looks pretty performative to me. What's she doing in a very unflattering evening gown, with a very unflattering hairdo, unflattering (Marilyn Manson) makeup, and wearing her mother's jewelry? That particular get-up and styling is for a 1940s movie star, and she ain't no movie star. She's an average-looking woman. She should have no problem finding a man at 33, if she's willing to let her hair down, put on some jeans, and head out to the dirt races, or a baseball game. Maybe volunteer at a local charity or two. Good men show up in those places, too. They're where the best singles of marriageable age would be most likely to go.

Started shootin' the shit and writing political fanposts and debating them, there, because that's where we all hung out. Would've been easy for people to skip those FanPosts that were political. Was a lot of fun, for awhile. None of the articles on the front page and almost none of the FanPosts were political. But people just couldn't stand having to skip the politics, so it ended. And a bunch of crusty bastards went to arrowheadguys. Good point about the political articles turning people off, though. Just because the politics generates clicks doesn't mean you're not losing customers.

Maybe they'll have to share an apartment. A low-IQ might stay in that entry-level job longer, and maybe instead of using it to springboard their education, like a teenager might, they stay and maybe work their way up to foreman in that lawn care job or whatever it is. Thing about lawn care is they actually pay pretty good. People with those businesses would KILL for reliable workers who will settle for $17/hour!

  143. The stimulus will do more long-term harm than good. Government intervention tends to perpetuate economic crisis. Did you hear of the Great Depression of 1920? No? That's because the government stayed out of it and markets roared back in short order. The Great Depression that was kicked off by the 1929 crash lasted over a decade, largely because of government "stimulus." Sadly, the MYTH that FDR "saved us" persists. He kept himself in power by keeping the big danger going for longer than it needed to.

Chemical preservatives. Chemical pesticides. They're doing bad things to our bodies and when she says "healthy diet," she probably means she keeps a lid on the processed foods. But even the so-called "healthy food" isn't as healthy as it used to be. Poor soils that get boosted by petrochemical fertilizers, but lack key minerals that regulate metabolism. Crap farming methods, made to look good by the chemicals we spray. If she eats any kind of store-bought baked goods in the USA, unless she's going to some hippy co-op where they make sure everything's organic and they don't use preservatives or chemicals in their bread/pastry baking, are pretty bad for you. And it's not just the sugar. I'd say it's mainly in the other chemicals. Unless you're buying all your produce from an organic farmer who uses restorative farming methods, even the produce aisle ain't what it used to be. She says she exercises... Not sure what she means by that. If she's morbidly obese, she's getting a heck of a workout just walking to the fridge!

  173. We're undergoing a paradigm shift away from globalism. Nationalism is the short-term beneficiary, but LOCALism is the ultimate beneficiary. People are figuring out (again) that the "anointed nobility" aren't in touch with everyday life, let alone competent to direct all its activities Remote learning got a huge boost. Smart institutions will foster that shift. Moribund institutions will resist that shift. Brick-and-mortar ain't goin' away, but it's clearly declining. I've been saying for years that it's really dumb to make your kid go to school and sit in a classroom with everybody their chronological age, getting a one-size-fits-all lesson, live, from a teacher who's aiming at the stupidest kid in the room, to get that kid a 'C' while the gifted kids are held back by the slowest student. There's a lot of resistance to the shift in education, because the institutions AND the students 'brought up' in that institutional framework think that the way they've always done it is the best way. And teachers' egos drive a lot of it. They're SURE their students can't learn without their WONDERFUL teacher watering everything down and holding their hand on everything. But in my opinion, institutional definition of "Student Success" is to ensure that more students pass, whether they actually have mastered the content or not. They'll never admit that, but it's exactly what they're pushing for, and it just leads to need for MORE hand-holding, and - of course - more MONEY, because "We need to remediate these learning deficits, and allow for 'differences in race, ethnicity, gender, and economic background.'" Bullshit. We need to put students in the classes they NEED, and require mastery before promoting them to the NEXT class they need. USA's public-education 'learning products' are inferior. Run by accountants with spreadsheets and SJWs with oppression hierarchies tattooed on their foreheads, instead of the teachers and students. You want boys to start excelling in STEM, like they used to? Give them an online learning management system (LMS, like Pearson MyLab and Mastering or Cengage WebAssign), and cut off their video games until they get their homework done! The cool thing is that it would motivate those boys to get it done, AND it would present the knowledge they NEED, exactly when they need it, i.e., instant, on-demand help. Instead, they're trying to perfect an outmoded content-delivery system, devised for a time where there might be only ONE person in the WHOLE TOWN who actually owns a book! Now, EVERYbody has the INTERNET!

The movies failed because of The Message and the hackneyed writing that emerged, trying to squeeze maximum diversity and scorn towards masculine men into every flick.

  177. Dems tried to lump Green New Deal and Grievance Studies into the bill, seeing this as a golden opportunity to ram MORE shite down our throats. Unbelievable how close we came to this actually becoming reality. The only thing that saved us was the 2016 election, and the fact that the Senate didn't flip Democrat in 2018. Imagine Schumer being the Majority Leader in the Senate! I'm not a huge Mitch McConnell fan, because he's also a career politician, much like Schumer. But he's at least less bad. But goodness, what would this be like if Hillary were president?

  181. Tulsi Gabbard's inordinate love of big government disqualifies her as a classical liberal. Classical liberals rejected paternalistic rule by aristocrat class, long ago. FAKE liberals seek to bring it back, and whine the whole time, saying "That's not what we meant!" They're not lying. They're just ignorant of history and human nature. If they weren't ignorant, they would know that they're getting EXACTLY what they voted for. This is EXACTLY what they meant, even if they're too stupid to realize it and too arrogant/indoctrinated to admit it.

  184. Of course they censored/demoted the Joe Rogan interview. Big Tech has all the privileges of a publisher and none of the responsibilities of a true publisher. The law is purposely written in this way to enable the same take-over of the Internet that the government engineered in legacy media.

  186. Tim: The entire ideology you support is full of lies. Why are you outraged at leftist liars? It's what they do. That's why you think government "protects us."

  187. Just says Bernie's surrounded by people who are liars. She just admitted she was lying the entire campaign. So, Bernie's campaign was BASED on lies. "Democratic socialism" is where people VOTE for authoritarian rule.

  189. Very shaky argument. "Well, Abe did it, and everybody loves good-old Honest Abe!" Trump got elected in large part due to a perception by many independents that the Biden administration was corrupt, authoritarian, and defied federal courts. Don't ever become an "our side, right or wrong" guy.

  191. I can see how it looks bad on video and how the cops would frown on it, but out there in the street, with a large crowd that's only going to grow, with you standing there and 3 insane women who just got knocked on their asses... Hanging around can get you killed. I totally don't blame him for scootin'. I know how those situations can get out of hand and end VERY badly for a big, strong guy, who knows he's within his rights, and does the right thing, only to be pummeled by the crowd that's just gonna grow, and likely be very hostile to the man in the situation. And he turned himself in, right away, pretty much, didn't he? It's news because we're starting to see more and more of these toxic women, who think they can talk shit, get up in your face, and hit you or spit on you, without consequences, because they have a Woman Card. People need to be reminded that it's a LADY'S Card, and you only see gentlemen when there are Ladies about. Then the power of the feminine is absolute. But when you go masculine, you're sayin' Tits Don't Matter, and you take what you get AFAIC.

  192. I'm torn on AOC, because her ignorance is something of a shield against the Swamp. She was OFFENDED by the fact that "Freshman Congress Orientation" was wall-to-wall lobbyists. She doesn't know how that game is played, which is ignorant, but the game, itself, is crooked as hell, and she was right to call them out. Ilhan Omar got it all wrong on the facts as to when CAIR was created (She said after 9/11, when it was created in 1994). But she NAILED it when she called out the Patriot Act for its police-state features, which you just don't hear "old hands" in Congress talking about. As more or less of a crusty old bastard, who believes in old-fashioned tolerance and basic individual rights, I'm pretty eclectic about things. When these clowns get something right, I try to see past my apparent tribe and not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Sometimes it's the Republicans acting all tribal and regressive. More often, of late, it's been the Democrats, and the degree to which they've regressed is far beyond anything the Republicans appear to be doing. Most of the things I disagree with are the things there's bipartisan support for. The Republicans LOVE Free Stuff just as much as Democrats, these days. The Democrats like the arms industry as much as any war-hawk Republican.

  193. It HAS gotten more dangerous in the USA, now that the party of violence is out of power and seeking to crank up the terror tactics, like they did in 2015 and ever since, except for 4 years of Biden, where the Dems stopped funding riots and terror threats. The chaos served the Dems well for a number of years. Now we're in the "blowback period." No telling how long it'll last. Some people have just checked out and will never fall for their BS again, so it might be long-lasing.

  194.  @theWashingtonPigskins  : I think if the Libertarians would push hard for - and be seen working hard for - LOCAL charities and social safety net, that the vast majority of the country would be more Libertarian than anything else. "Do your own thing" on the social front. "Respect the rights of others." "No foreign wars." "Even playing field." "No more crony capitalism (which is just a fancy phrase for fascism).

  200. Every "solution" Dems come up with is an invitation for more homelessness. They shouldn't be telling people to stay in. They should tell them to stay OUT! Restaurants should switch to Drive-in's! Observe social distance that way. There'll be huge demand for shoppers and grocercy-store and restaurant delivery people. Gas prices are cratering. Good job for the drivers. Also good for the community because using drivers, who can combine trips, there's less fuel being used. Rather than you and the people down the block both driving themselves to the restaurant, one delivery person brings dinner to both families with one trip. And makes money. And gets a nice tip, most trips.

  201. I want the "Right to Try." The 'right to try' is something the establishment-left would deny us in ALL arenas, not just medical treatments.

  202. If Joe's supposed handlers were any good, he'd be reading speeches off a teleprompter, with lots of editing. They could phony-up some live interviews, with some clever editing, and make it seem like he's processing questions in real time.

  203. You don't know what you're talking about with your Green New Deal bullshit. Sorry. It's knowing or unknowing fascism, and will benefit the fat cats who can create companies faster than the special rules favoring those kinds of companies are even created. It would be good for jobs if you consider bureaucrats administering another made-up-shit program as gainfully employed.

  207.  Magnum Mountaineer  : I think her puppet masters have switched to the DNC establishment. Her deal got started by a small group of progressives, who held auditions and she won the role. Since then, she's veered to the establishment left, in order to survive and get re-elected. Let's hope it doesn't work. Sadly, the main competition she has is sonneone even more progressive than she is! That woman will get elected and within 1 1/2 years, she will be captured by the establishment, just as AOC has.
