  1. Who honestly cares what Lindsey Graham thinks or says about anything?

  2. Anyone who's seen interviews of E. Jean Carroll and has seriously looked at the complaint can see this is malicious prosecution and a pure nuisance suit by a nut.

  3. "Patriot Act." "For the People Act." The better they sound, the more horrific they are.

  4. It's inevitable, because there are thousands of pages of new legislation and regulations coming out almost daily. The government is too big for anyone to track. The government needs to go back to its constitutionally delineated powers and perform ONLY the tasks given to it, explicitly, in the U.S. Constitution. "General welfare" does not mean "food stamps."

  5. The assault on liberty is never-ending.

  6. Yes, they open themselves up to EEOC and discrimination lawsuits. Under law, ESG is illegal if they're discriminating on the basis of immutable characteristics rather than merit. I hope that shareholders start suing these companies for failing in their fiduciary responsibilities by hiring people on any basis other than merit and performance.

  9. They control the apparatus. Who's going to properly investigate and prosecute them, when they are the investigators and prosecutors?

  10. Too small of a step.

  11. There are no debates in Congress. Everybody just takes turns recording sound bites for the people back home.

  12.  @Natsukashii-Records  Maybe they would learn faster if they weren't insulted for exposing their ignorance/blind spots, which we all have.
    17
  13.  @guysolis5843  The police would CRUSH anyone standing up to Antifa, and media would back that play. I started watching Antifa antics and government responses long before Trump was ever elected. This double standard stretches far back into the Obama Administration, which wrote the book on malign hypocrisy masquerading as virtue.

  14. She gets it. She just can't ever admit a Republican's making a good point.

  15.  @bingbong7206  I think he said he thought that Sydney Powell was full of it. I think she meant well, but was approached by statisticians whose information she didn't, herself, understand. I think she was probably on to something, but you don't win court cases with confidence intervals. We KNOW there were shenanigans and that Dominion isn't our friend, but PROVING criminal conspiracy requires much more.

  18. Ron DeSantis and Christy Noem were 2 governors that stood bravely against all kinds of pressure because they were RIGHT. I'd vote for either one of them.

  19.  @nuqwestr  This was a loss for Republicans and the American people. This "infrastructure bill" is a waste of money that we can't afford to borrow.

  24. They turn all our lives upside-down with TERRIBLE policy. They CAUSED the pandemic. And now they're ruling the USA by medical (establishment) dictatorship.

  25. "Hate Crime" is a bullshit classification. It was a CRIME. We already have laws against murder. "Hate Crime" is a very slippery definition on a very slippery slope. The courts have been factoring motives into the sentencing/penalty phase of trials. We don't need a separate category of crimes. It just takes us one step closer to the oppression of groups and political opponents. Garland said "Religious or ideological motives mean 'Hate Crime.'" People should be HORRIFIED and ENRAGED that these top lawyers are all bought in on "Hate Crime" being a thing. Republicans and Democrats alike. They should ALL be ashamed of themselves, but their arrogance will entertain no doubts.

  26. The $upreme Court is supposed to decide on principle, but it's always been political, which is why we had to beat back FDR's attempt to pack it with Democrats who'd follow his orders.

  34. Did you know that Bill Gates originally refused to have an office in Washington, D.C.? He didn't think it had anything to do with making (stealing) software. But because of his refusal, Congress went after him in a big way. Now Microsoft is one of the biggest lobbyists in the country, and everything's hunky-dory for Microsoft. The PROBLEM is Congress legislating on everything under the Sun. They don't have the expertise to craft the legislation, so they rely on "industry leaders." Needless to say, those "experts" have a big-corporation bias, so just about everything Congress comes out with favors the big corporations. When they SAY they're sticking it to the corporations, it's actually the big corporations sticking it to US by controlling the crafting of the rule sets by which we all must abide. Congress needs to stay in its fucking lane, but there's just too much political and monetary gain in it for it to resist. We need another Davy Crockett in Congress. When he was in Washington, there was a bill proposed to help the widow of a war hero, who'd lost everything. Everyone said what a compassionate and patriotic thing that was, but Crockett said "It's not our money to GIVE! But I will donate one week's pay to her and if everyone who supports this bill would do the same, she would be set up in style." Well, needless to say, nobody in the Congress wanted to give up THEIR money to this noble cause. Their compassion ended when it had to come out of THEIR pockets. We've come a long way (down) since then. There's nobody to challenge them on their fake compassion. "Sounds good! Let's do this 'for the American people.'" They're not doing it for us. They're taking from us to do for themSELVES.

  35.  @randyr.parker2698  Oh, there's more to it than that. There are also the cronies who get the contracts to install the devices. In fact, it was probably a buddy of theirs with too many microphones in inventory, so they gave him a way to unload them for an obscene profit.

  36. Listening to Democrats demagogue voter ID laws makes my blood boil.

  37. Yes, and he won't tell Congress, because of State Department 'rules.' Congress makes the law.

  38. What's terrifying is how close these power grabs came to being passed, and how many power grabs have ALREADY passed, not least of which being The Patriot Act, which is STILL on the books, even after it was weaponized against a sitting president. If they can do that to a sitting president, imagine what they can (and are) do(ing) to people you and I will never ever hear of.

  39.  @elizabethhenning778  Comments such as "You read at a 3rd-grade level" are typical from people who think they're really smart, but aren't, so they result to put-downs.

  40.  @elizabethhenning778  That's not what she's saying, at all. She's trying to extract a fundamental principle, here, and show, reductio ad absurdum, that the premise is false; whereas, you just have it in for Christians.

  43. He's probably more electable than Trump, due to intense, deep-seated despite for him amongst Democrats. But Trump sucks up all the oxygen in the Republican Party, by tirelessly campaigning, all year, every year. DeSantis would be more likely to understand how to deal with the Swamp. He was a senator for a time, before running for governor. Not too long in the Senate, and the strong leadership he's shown as governor says he knows the government-CEO gig. I think he'd do a better job picking his team and wouldn't waste time firing somebody who was undermining him, the way Trump did. That whole "Keep your enemies closer" thing sounds clever, but you really need to surround yourself with good people who are pulling for you and your program.

  44. When the elites start driving and jetting around on EVs and the prices come down to dirt cheap without "re-fuel" issues, I'll think about an EV. Trump is exactly right on this.

  45.  @steveyeager6177  People have stopped bothering to report crime, because it just wastes their time.

  46.  @Wildwwill  There will be HUGE campaign contributions from the government contractors who work on these projects, and projects that pay for themselves will go begging for raw materials, manpower and money, as the prices for everything skyrocket. And all so politicians can pretend they're "helping."

  47.  @darbyreviews1801  : Yes. WE have to reduce our carbon footprint, while the people who're telling us this fly in on private jets to lecture us about how wasteful, stupid, and dirty we are. Meanwhile the military consumes 800 million barrels of oil each year.

  48. One of our best and brightest.

  49. Finally, somebody in government talking about TREATMENT and not experimental mRNA therapy as the end-all, be-all. This is why Big-Pharma-funded media are smearing DeSantis at every opportunity. He's trying to make sound policy and not just taking the word of conflicted public-health mafia.

  57. He's got the right idea, about 90% of the time. He REALLY triggers Democrats because he doesn't defer. He doesn't back down. He says his piece.

  58. Democrats will stop at nothing. They think only of their own power. May this be their undoing.

  59. There are better ways to ask the big questions. Don't cut the guy off and grand-stand. The stark facts speak for themselves. Gaetz is grandstanding for the choir and making speeches instead of questioning the witness. This is not winning any hearts or minds the way Gaetz is going about it. Yes, there's stuff Durham didn't go into that it seems he should've. But don't talk over him.

  62.  Adam Baum  He cleaned up more than he's given credit for, but yeah. Opposed on every front, and having his hands tied by hoax investigations really limited what he could do. If he tried to fire bad actors, they accused him of a political purge and "Stalinist" tactics. He should've fired James Comey the day he took office, but he was afraid to, because they had already surrounded him with "obstruction snares." With the DOJ in the hip pocket of the Democrats, anything Trump did was scrutinized by a microscope, and anything Biden or Obama did was covered up. It's like the Peaky Blinders run our government, except that the Peaky Blinders hated child abusers.

  78. Coincidentally, the people who benefited the most from the last year's nonsense are white-collar liberals and big corporations. HUGE transfer of wealth from small business to big business. It's OK if you die of heat disease, cancer, or suicide, just so long as you don't die of COVID. They're going to save us from COVID if they have to kill us to do so.

They're basically an update on what words the Democrats have redefined since the last trainings. New taboos. New things to be offended over. Basically your NPC update, courtesy of the federal government on behalf of the Democrat National Committee.

  85.  @vrtclhykr  When you see Nature sorting out these silly ideas, you might think of that as "God's hand." After all, wouldn't the Creator - if there were one - put natural checks and balances that weighed against stupid stuff? Even if there weren't a Creator, as such, the Nature we see around us does a pretty good job of weeding out stupid stuff. We just think we're separate from Nature, when all creatures are part of Nature. Nature selects against behaviors that are anti-life. Some people equate anti-life with anti-God, and it's not unreasonable to assign to "God" all the uncountable things we can't fully understand, at present. You don't have to anthropomorphize Reality for Reality to exist and exert natural stresses and rewards for smart stuff and punishments for stupid stuff.

  87. Just sound bites for the Republican base. Make them outraged, but instead of addressing the outrage, they keep it going for their own re-election, and the dance goes on. After 10 years of this dating back to Obama, if not before. If they actually SOLVE any problems, we won't need them.

  90. Penalties should be HIGHER, because of the harm they do with their enormous powers causes widespread harm to MILLIONS. Life in jail. Instead, they use their powers to hide from any sanction, shielded by the might of the U.S. Government. John Brennan, Jim Comey, Sztrok, Clapper, Wray, Rosenstein, ... Those are just a few of the many who need to be in jail, in my humble opinion.
    3
  91. Congress legislates on too many things, PERIOD. Doesn't matter what rules you impose to simplify it. The U.S. Government's a big country living in and off of a big country. It meddles in EVERYTHING, so no matter how you structure it, there's still 4,000 pages of legislation, every year. Until they pare back the federal government's responsibilities, and leave them to the states, it will intrude on every matter except those matters it was created to intrude upon, like foreign policy (crap) and defense of our borders (refuses)..

  96. Whether you agree with Megyn Kelly about something is beside the point. She and a growing number of others are proving that there's a huge ecosystem for good news people. They don't have the overhead of a big corporation, and they don't need 20 million subscribers to prosper. I think we're seeing a revolution in media democratization. Legacy media are doing everything possible to work with social media companies to stave it off, but while it kind of sucks to have to live through all the crap that legacy institutions are doing in their desperate effort to remain on top of the pile, and how they work hand-in-glove with government institutions, which are ALSO becoming pretty desperate.

  97. You ready to give up medicaid and medicare? Because health is going to be run by the same asshats into the future with government as the biggest customer of the health care industry, deciding the rules, who gets what, what services are allowed or not allowed, etc. Then the insurance companies weigh in and we get a system that guarantees health insurance combines will flourish, while all government's under-funded wish lists are fulfilled, and government red tape lays a great big bureaucracy that ALSO must eat on top of the whole shebang. I am not a checkbox on a government form.

  98. Congress act like it's THEIR money, like THEY are lords and ladies, dispensing their personal wealth. They're NOT. They're spending OUR money, and they're never accountable for how wisely the money is spent or if they actually get results. It's ALL about the virtue signal. And the most "generous" legislators always somehow end up becoming millionaires at the public trough. Nothing "illegal," but hey look! A board membership that pays $1 million/year and all the guy has to do is sit in 2 meetings a year! And it's not just the congresspersons. It's their friends and family. Look at Chelsea Clinton or Hunter Biden. And they're just the tip of the iceberg. It's pay to play and if you don't play, you're either a sucker OR you're "mean" and "selfish." All upside-down.

  100.  @christopherschlacter4953  So what you're saying is that the establishment is punishing Rudy and Sydney for pissing them off? I agree. It's pretty scary the way the Democrat run media and establishment twist things. And as state by state goes over the 2020 election, we're going to all learn that it was much worse than Rudy or Sydney ever claimed. The whole WORLD and the half of the USA not totally captured by moribund and bought-off legacy media KNOWS 2020 was stolen, and COVID hysteria was a big lever for the steal.

  102. Those Senate Republicans didn't get played. They showed their true colors. They represent everything that is wrong with the Republican Party.

  103. For a long time, I thought they were just trying to cancel white males. But the trans movement is aggressively canceling women in sports. They're also canceling lesbians and gays. "You're not gay. You're a woman trapped in a man's body. You're a man trapped in a woman's body. Let us help you by mutilating your genitals for you. No need to thank us. Just doing our jobs. Please come to our next transvestite story hour."

  105. Yup. Police went to churches and took down license plates. No LAWS were passed. Just some health official. And not even a consensus of health officials, but just what some bureaucrat with "Dr." in front of their name. Clearly the best science was not followed. They just decided to drop everything for one thing, instead of balancing ALL concerns and most of all, letting people decide for themselves! There was NO DEBATE about lock-downs. Just ORDERS from people who didn't have the authority to GIVE such orders. This is the sorriest demonstration of state power run amuck since the draft during Vietnam, a war that didn't even have a declaration passed by Congress! So, an unsanctioned war, in which our boys were compelled to fight against their will, to NO REAL PURPOSE beyond the imaginings of ivory-tower policy wonks and weapons manufacturers.

  106. FBI and IRS are hopelessly politicized.

  107. 90% of experts never disagree with their paymasters. It's all political. There's no serious scientific debate over the extent and severity of global warming or that it is entirely CO2 driving it, nor is there serious debate over what should be done about it, if anything. What's being done by politicians won't put a dent in global temps, but it will make a lot of rich people even richer and make the rest of us a lot poorer. But to say things like that is to be censored or shadow-banned.

  108. Serfs accept tyranny for the lie of security. I prefer dangerous freedom. Nobody gets out of this alive. It's how you LIVE that matters. Americans used to understand that.

  112. No. It's better to let this play out. The use of force at this point would make demonrats into martyrs. Most Americans would be horrified. This is about hearts and minds. Democrats have blitzkrieged all the way to the gates of Stalingrad. Biden's mockery of a presidency is Democrats' high tide mark. They've used every trick in the book and won. And it's costing them the trust and confidence of the American people like nothing else ever could. They're proving every single day that they are petty, vindictive, dishonest, and not competent to govern. After 4-plus years of "Don't look at US! Look at Trump!" there's nobody to see but THEM. And they're looking TERRIBLE. Democrat Operative: I've got good news and bad news. DNC puppet-master: Give me the good news. Democrat Operative: We installed our puppet in the White House! DNC puppet-master: So what's the bad news! Democrat Operative: Our puppet is in the White House!

  117. Florida's about in the middle for COVID cases. But the media establishment (or just "the establishment") are determined to make DeSantis look bad. He's challenging their narratives. What we need to do is gear up to TREAT it. Get people in QUICK, and hone treatment regimes. I think it's pretty clear that the vaccine isn't proof against variants. HCQ, Ivermectin, monoclonal antibody treatments... I'd rather do that than be a vaccinated carrier, and risk showing up - or worse, NOT showing up - on VAERS, with chronic problems from the vaccine. Vaccine makes more sense for the elderly, as their childbearing days are behind them, and risk:benefit for survival short-term favors the vaccine. Maybe not so much for people expecting to live another 30 or more years. Not until we've got time series data on longitudinal study.

Trump put a cap on that deduction at $10,000, which didn't hurt ANY working man, but chased the billionaires out of the big cities. You HATE that, don't you? You hate the fact that Trump ended the countryside's subsidy of corrupt city-government spending. Now that cities have to pay their own bills, they're TANKING. You can't steal from the red states any more and you HATE IT. Black unemployment reached record lows and you HATE THAT. Trump took a stand against serfdom under Democrat oligarchs and you HATE THAT. If people can take care of themSELVES, all your power evaporates!

  144. We don't need to amend the U.S. Constitution for that shit to be illegal. The main thing we need is some sort of term limit on politicians and government employees. Working for the government should be a duty that you serve, reluctantly, for a short time, before going back into the real world, and NOT a career choice, where you're in a position to enrich yourself by force, using the monopoly on force enjoyed by the government. Social work and policing should be a young-adult gig. If you're doing it right, you're going to burn out. Government service should be something you do for a brief period after you retire. It should NOT be a career choice. "I'm proud of a lifetime spent serving the people in government. It's just a coincidence that I'm a multimiliionaire, despite never having produced a single product or service my entire career."

All other nations around the world CELEBRATE imperial glories of the past and yearn for the good old days. And resent whoever moved in to mess things up for them.

Maybe if they didn't CENSOR the lab-leak hypothesis for over a year, I'd have confidence in what we're being told, now.

I don't like Ilhan Omar, BUT the fact is that the USA has fallen into some very wicked, neocolonialist ways, with our foreign policy wonks still living in an echo chamber transplanted whole from 1945 realities. The Soviet Union no longer exists. NATO has become a rubber stamp for American aggression abroad. USA pays billions to provide European security against a threat that no longer exists. Nordstream 2 is a HUGE hypocrisy by the EU. Boy they want Russian oil and gas and at the same time expect the USA to keep troops stationed in Europe and waste billions of dollars. USA also gives EU major trade concessions that aren't in the USA's interest, unless their purpose is to have NATO give them an imprimatur of legitimacy for the USA's destructive regime-change policies. The USA never should've gotten involved in European politics and wars in the first place. If not for the USA, then no unconditional surrender. If no unconditional surrender, then no Treaty of Versailles. If no Treaty of Versailles, no Hitler... Anyway, I couldn't care less if Europe wants to buy oil and gas from Russia. But if they're going to do that, and if everybody agrees that an overwhelming number of Russian tanks are NOT revving up on the border of Poland, then let NATO go! NATO's just an alliance for prosecuting wars in the Middle East and anywhere else the USA feels like. That's bullshit! And every time we send another drone to "get the bad guy," we create another 100 or 1,000 terrorists. The more we do this regime change nonsense, the more dangerous the world becomes, and the more excuses the U.S. government has to tighten its grip on the American populace with a surveillance state that Stalin would've given his eye teeth to control.

  173. What we call "left," today, is not "left." It's right-wing reactionary, trying to make the case that liberty and civil rights are "too dangerous." That's the same thing every emperor has said for millennia. The TRUE left are the people who said "Divine right of kings to absolute power is bullshit." The TRUE left are the people who said government should be strictly bound from infringing on people's rights. Nanny government? That's not left. That's authoritarian right. Socialism? Everything you need from the government? That's serfdom. "Shut up, because we are taking care of you." Krupp Steel, the corporation on whose employee benefits the Nazis based their socialist system, exacted a loyalty oath from all employees before they were afforded free health care and education. Company stores with cheap prices on quality goods. Implicit in every government hand-out is the expectation - nay, requirement - of obedience. To take the King's schilling, you first bend the knee to the king. Self-rule is messy and far from perfect. It's also better than anything else.

  174. Agree, 100%. It's annoying as hell that conservatives support this kind of thing. There should be ZERO federal government intervention in social media platforms. This is America. Let it all hang out. If a platform grows toxic, let the public turn its back. Tik-Tok bans people on the left and the right. It shouldn't do that. But that shouldn't result in legislation. It should result in people with a brain and some discernment abandoning the platform and watching "Libs of Tik-Tok" instead! Great entertainment! I think social media should be a free-for-all, with zero federal regulation. If someone's inciting violence, it's not up to the platform to ban it. It's up to the people who see the incitement contacting law enforcement and prosecuting them under existing law (You know. From before the Internet.). This is America. We let it all hang out and let the people decide. Platforms shouldn't be policing content. Parents should. And it's very easy to do. To protect your children, deny them ALL channels except channels you've vetted, yourself, or have been vetted by people or companies you trust. We shouldn't be wringing our hands about bad stuff on the Internet. We should be shopping for companies that do a better job than others.

In the North, the gradual unloading of the ice sheets has actually caused the land to RISE relative to the oceans. The planet has generally been warming up since the end of the last ice age, although due to various factors, most of the 20th Century was actually a COOLING trend that the "climate scientists" have written out of the history books. It was REALLY hot in the late 1930s. And it gradually got cooler until about 1978.

That's how Washington works. If you've got a few million to bribe people with, you can get billions from the U.S. Government. And don't EVEN get me started on insider trading! Our "best and brightest" have been bought and sold by corporate and foreign-government interest. We're being sold out for pennies on the dollar. I've been checking out Astrid Stuckelberger lately. She used to serve on an ethics-oversight committee for the WHO. They disbanded the ethics-oversight some years ago. She has some stories to tell about how things are actually run over there. Corruption is the order of the day, every day. The incestuous relationship between CDC, WHO, NIH, FDA, Fauci's NIH and Big Pharma is undeniable. But wait. I misspoke. Dang! Fauci IS the science!

Today's so-called left seeks to grow government and erode individual autonomy.

Not a single law was passed. ALL of these tyrannical measures were imposed by edict. All "for our own good." All without any consideration of primary, secondary and tertiary damage caused by "the cure." All because a mere handful of people decided all must give way to one single concern.

Back then, the Republican Party still fought the good fight, at risk of becoming a permanent minority, because Democrat spending bought an increasing number of votes as the years wore on. Then "kinder and gentler" kicked in, in the 1990s, and the uni-party really got off the ground. Republicans became big spenders and Democrats became war hawks.

  220. This begs the question of why Trump administration didn't de-classify. This is why I'm VERY skeptical about another Trump presidency. He didn't end the drone bombings and missile strikes on foreign soil. He couldn't control his own state and defense departments or intel agencies, and even when he COULD, he chose not to. He didn't impose mandates, but he went along with lock-downs and set the table for the oppression that followed. Same with critical-race-theory trainings throughout his administration. No action until December, 2020, which was reversed in less than a month, and continues to this day. He deferred to Fauci, instead of bringing in the Malone's and McCullough's. Great Barrington Declaration came out in October, 2020. Silence from his administration. No one man can run the administration, so the team around them is KEY. I don't think Trump had any idea of who his friends are, assuming his heart was in the right place. But that assumption is very hard to maintain, given we came out of his admin even MORE woke than we went in.

But I'd never seen the censorship as blatant as it was, for so many to see. The gaslighting was off the charts. The holes in Fauci narratives were big enough to drive a bus through. There was NO effort to address concerns of legitimate, well-respected clinicians and epidemiologists. Instead, they essentially blacklisted anyone who didn't agree 100% with whatever Fauci's opinion was that morning. I read up on the history of vaccines and epidemiology, fact-checking the Great Barrington Declaration on my own, and I'll be damned if their assertions didn't check out. "Since when do we quarantine the healthy? Since when do we push out a vaccine before it's been tested? Since when do we COMPEL people to take an experimental drug? Since when did we indemnify drug companies from the harm caused by their products?"

When Adam Schiff makes shit up and gets away with it, but his lies are believed so completely that they try to impeach the president over his false allegations, you should doubt the government. When the lab-leak hypothesis is censored for over a year by the same government that funded gain-of-function in Wuhan, you should doubt your government.

The panic and hysteria have gotten in the way of effective treatments being made widely available, because all the MEDIA were pushing were masks, lockdowns and vaccines. No concern for the harm those strategies caused is shown by any of the "You must take the jab, mask up and lock down" crowd. Life is trade-offs. There are some trade-offs the vast majority are not able or willing to make indefinitely just to please the hysterical few. The free money's gonna run out. It's gonna be dog eat dog, and when that happens, the LAST thing anybody's going to be worried about is whether you've got a mask on, are social distancing, or have lots of likes for your braindead tweets.

  295.  @THYCR3AT0R  For all the criticisms of American capitalism, most of the problems with our health care system are caused by government, not solved by government. You probably think evil insurance companies are at the heart of it, I'm guessing. Do you know where health insurance came from? It came during the Roosevelt administration, when he imposed wage freezes like the good fascist he was, during the Great Depression. Health care benefits were a loophole big corporations could exploit to circumvent the wage freezes, thereby giving big corporations a nice, government-created competitive advantage in the labor market. Insurance companies came along after that. Before that, nobody dreamed of there being such a thing as health insurance. You just did the best you and your community could do, and there was a lot more community spirit back then, because people knew that they needed to look out for one another. You can't insure your health. Not really. For an insurance system to work like it does on cars, homes and such, there's a ceiling. You can "total" a car. You can consider a house a "total loss." But you can't put a dollar figure on the value of a human life. This health insurance made it possible, then, for bureaucrats to come in and decide what your life was worth. Med-4-All puts bureaucrats in charge of what, when, how much, and who gets health care, and believe me, the bureaucrats and politicians will make sure THEY are at the front of the line, and you and I will get what's left over. Do you know how long you have to wait for cardio, cancer, hip-replacement and many other surgeries in Canada or the UK? Do you know how many people come to the USA to receive cancer treatments that are unavailable in those countries, because their health-care mafia deem them improper? But we're not that far away from what's going on under socialized medicine in other countries. Do you realize how many extra paper-pushers a doctor has to hire just to fill out insurance and government paperwork? I think the doctors themselves spend something like 1/3 or their work day filling out forms rather than treating patients. Government involvement in the health care industry is far from a panacea. In fact, it results in drugs being MORE expensive than they have to be, because there's no profit in drugs after the patent expires. Why give you something off the shelf, when they can charge you up the ass for something new? They SAY it's "better" but is it really? Then there's the matter of pricing. As the single biggest consumer of health care (Medicare, Medicaid, etc.), the government decides what it will pay for a treatment, whether it meets the cost or not. So who makes up the difference? The taxpayer who not only has to pay for Medicare and Medicaid, but also has to pay inflated insurance rates because hospitals charge the insured WAY more than they charge the government. Economics always has the final say and when you promise everything to everyone and you run out of resources, you cut corners and the quality of care goes down. But hey. Everybody's treated exactly the same, so it's fair, right? No. The rich people still get whatever they require. It's the blokes in the middle who WORK for a living who end up getting hurt. The first law of economics is that resources are not infinite. The first law of politics is to ignore the 1st law of economics. We'll just SAY we're handling everything and everyone will shut up, apparently. That, by the way, is why you wait for so long in UK and Canada for many treatments. Sometimes you die before you've ever been to a doctor. This is the same for ANYthing the government guarantees. It seems good for a while, but reality always has the final word. This is why people waited in bread lines in the Soviet Union. Adolf Hitler made bread his #1 priority "for the people." Bread shortages instantly became chronic throughout the tenure of the 3rd Reich. If you want to destroy a product or service, just nationalize/collectivize it. What a long rant. Just sick and tired of economically illiterate socialists, who know nothing of the real world, insisting they know more than everybody else because they're "educated."' But as the saying goes, "Garbage in. Garbage out."

  303. But she never once questions the wisdom of having federal agencies governing everything under the sun, "for the greater good." Corruption is inevitable. Abuse of power is inevitable. The longer the agency's in place, no matter how carefully you set it up, eventually it will take on a life of its own and act in its own interest, or simply in the interests of the people running it. Anthony Fauci is a classic example. If there's a way to monetize (chronically under-funded) an agency, somebody will come along and find a way to do so, legally. That's what's going on at FDA, NIH, and who knows how many other federal agencies. The worse of a job an agency does, the more money gets thrown at it. And that's not even scratching the surface of what's happening with the Security State. FBI, DOJ-in-general, NSA, DOD, CIA, State Dept, ... THOSE departments and agencies are granted great secrecy powers, which is a HUGE screen to hide behind. And the people at the top, middle, and even lower levels have their OWN opinions and agendas, and "ongoing investigation" or "protecting sources and methods" arguments (and rules written by dept/agency officials) shield them from having to reveal what they're actually up to. This is unavoidable in war time, because you DO need to keep a lot of secrets, but that's why the Dept of Defense is always full of waste and corruption. Just that one department, alone, is too big to be properly overseen by Congress. Now add all the OTHER agencies on top of THAT. We accept that secrecy, because theoretically, we're only fighting wars against actual existential threats, as a last resort. But now we have a "crisis" every day, and every crisis "justifies" temporary extraordinary powers that the officials REALLY LIKE. During the pandemic, Fauci had more power to impose nationwide policies (by edict) than the president of the United States. Any slightest whim, the most casual utterance, was enforced on EVERYONE (except, of course, Fauci and government officials, who flew above our sufferings like a kid with a magnifying glass above an ant hill (on a sunny day). FDA, USDA bought off by Big Food and Big Pharma. NIH, CDC bought off by Big Pharma and individual billionaires. Blah blah blah. The point is, Tulsi was part of the PROBLEM, and remains part of the problem, with all the big progressive spending she wants to do, which will create whole new bureaucracies and grow existing ones. No. The answer isn't perfect oversight. The answer is to leave everything not national-defense and interstate and international trade up to the states. The states screw things up, too, but the damage caused is only to one state at a time. FEDERAL policies affect EVERYone, and FEDERAL powers and responsibilities should be pared down to a bare minimum. You can't stop the corruption, but you don't have to oversee agencies that don't exist!

  307. Neither she nor anybody else in the House or Senate want anyone talking about events leading up to the special military operation that is trending toward war. When Ukraine was (re-)created by Russia, they were given assurances that Ukraine would be neutral and NATO would not seek to expand Eastward. We (USA/NATO) mounted a coup in Ukraine and set about trying to make Ukraine part of NATO. If we didn't MEDDLE, there would be no war, and CERTAINLY there would be ZERO talk of nukes and all-out war on Russia. All Omar and the Beltway crowd are doing is getting a lot of Ukrainians killed. And when you look at all the "lords and ladies" sitting on oligarch boards in Ukraine - Hunter's not the only mediocre scion of a "power family' receiving millions for access to and influence over aristocrats in the USA and Europe - you wonder if Ukraine is just collateral damage associated with American crime families covering up their corruption. The way the pay-to-play crowd castigated Trump about quid-pro-quo was sickening. Biden openly bragged on tape about his abuse of office, twisting Zelensky's arm to look the other way, or lose billions in foreign aid. Foreign Aid is where the poor in one country send money to rich people in another country, for the benefit of rich people in the USA. I'm sorry if that doesn't fit 'the narrative,' but the USA's whole 'regime-change' industry is bad for EVERYbody and these lunatics need to just stop.

But for "policy makers," the enormous drawbacks of their one-variable prescriptions are just an excuse for them to come in with just as thoughtless solutions to problems they created. Health care? Wrecked by government intervention. Solution? More government programs (that will only wreck it more). Foreign policy? Wrecked by foreign meddling. Solution? More regime-change foreign policy. Poverty? More dependence on the state than ever before in history. Cascading errors by people who are so "smart," they're stupid.

AFAIC, these civil servants need to be transparent or they need to be fired and/or charged with contempt. Enough of this nonsense. The trouble is, how do you get the DOJ to investigate itself in any serious way? Even Inspectors General have their hands tied. All you have to do to evade an IG is resign before he gets around to investigating you.

  319. I like DeSantis. But I sometimes question how much we help the people who build in hurricane country and get wiped out by hurricanes. Seems to me they chose those risks when they built there, and it's between them and their insurers, and not the job of South Dakota. I think it's great if South Dakota wants to help, but after the umpteenth hurricane in the same area, are federal tax dollars just a piggybank for these hurricane-prone states? Maybe somebody can set me straight. I know the feds came in with grants and low-interest loans after Hurricane Agnes, in '72, but I think accepting that money came with the understanding that it was a one-shot deal. Another flood and we'd be on our own. Is that how it works? I just hear FEMA's on its way to Florida or Texas or wherever these hurricanes light.

  324. I have mixed feelings about the cruise industry, personally. Long before COVID, I always thought of it as a spreader of contagion. But what ever happened to a person having enough self-agency to decide for themSELVES what risks they are willing to take? Life is NEVER perfect. Life is nothing but trade-offs. You get something. You give something. During the AIDs crisis, everybody KNEW that San Francisco bath houses were super-spreader loci. But did we shut them down? No. It might hurt somebody's fee-fees. Didn't matter that AIDs was universally believed to be invariably fatal. Now we're quarantining entire nations for a virus that has over 99% survival rate amongst all but those with serious health problems. Traditional epidemiology says you quarantine the SICK, NOT the healthy. (And you damn sure don't send the sick to nursing homes where our MOST vulnerable citizens reside, Mr. Cuomo.). Proper risk:benefit analysis was never performed. The 'nice' thing about it is you just latch on to whichever narrative appeals to you the most. There are many from which to choose, and more being manufactured every day from the people we're expected to - no, REQUIRED to - trust and obey. Personally, I think Big Pharma and their minions in the public health mafia were in a panic because they knew COVID was probably due to THEIR gain-of-function research, and the mental and rhetorical gymnastics they performed to circumvent a moratorium on such research. They even violated their own protocols for containment, farming out the research to an inadequately-equipped and managed Chinese Level-3 facility what was only to be performed in a Level-4 facility according to CDC's/NIH's/NIAID's own guidelines. Part of the "trick" was to change the very definition of the term "gain-of-function," even though it is very clear what gain-of-function is and what it means. But Fauci's incompetence/criminality is beside the point. The point is that anybody following the blow-by-blow events is now in a perpetual state of cognitive dissonance. Don't like what they said yesterday? That's OK. They'll change their minds tomorrow, or just agree amongst themselves to re-define the meaning of words, themselves, so "is" no longer means "is," any more, for example. (Hat-tip to Bill Clinton. Thanks, buddy!) They don't care if you die of cancer, so long as you can't blame THEM for killing you with COVID. They don't care if you commit suicide or 'just' become despondent, out of shape, and socially deprived from the lock-downs and the loss of your livelihood. They don't care if you starve or end up in the streets. And if you're a landlord, they don't care if you lose everything, just so long as nobody thinks it's THEIR fault that you died of COVID. You want to know a good way to create a super-bug? Vaccinate a population in the midst of a pandemic. 330 million simultaneous opportunities for spontaneous mutations that are drug-resistant in the USA alone, if they can just get us ALL vaccinated! But they'll settle for 200 million, if they must. In Nature, with the assistance of well-known off-the-shelf treatments, we'd've been at herd immunity months ago. Thousands of clinicians have successfully treated COVID without major long-lasting side-effects. But for some reason, you're not allowed to hear about that, if you're relying on MSM or Big Tech, although the word still trickled out, which is why they're pushing for the same level of censorship in social media that they've had on radio and t.v. since the 1930s. The lock-down on info on MSM was kept more or less secret, since the Communications Act of 1934. FDR's extra-marital affairs (Who can blame him? Did you get a look at Eleanor?) were an open secret amongst Washington reporters. Not one report made its way into the public square. Same with Kennedy. Those are only two that we NOW know about. Open censorship during WW II was "OK" because "It's an emergency!" That government-friendly censorship never went away. It just went underground. We didn't even KNOW the news was being censored, because all it took was a handful of phone calls to a handful of corporate-media bigwigs, and stories just didn't get told. That system remained in place until the Internet came along. The manufacture of consent by a small number of ruling-class elites is a real thing and widely understood, but at the same time, millions take MSM at face value (more cognitive dissonance). Now they've got the old playbook open to the same old "It's an emergency!" chapter, and they're going to install the same under-the-radar censorship on the Internet, too, IF THEY CAN. There's more pushback than there was in 1934, when the culture was highly conservative and didn't really even think about how it was a violation of the 1st Amendment. It's a lot harder to keep it under wraps when there's more than just CBS and NBC to deal with (ABC came a bit later, iirc, but it fell right into line, because it knew what was good for it). Even before FDR tried packing the Supreme Court, everyone was so FREAKED that somebody might hear a bad word or something their preacher didn't like that nobody - including SCOTUS - kicked up much/any fuss. The Communications Decency Act of 1995 (Home of Section 230) was likewise an infringement by the federal government on the 1st Amendment. But that's OK. It's for the children. Or it's so we can have social media. Nonsense! It's all about power and once again setting the political, corporate and donor class above the people. Zuckerberg now decides. Bezos now decides. And if the Biden Admin doesn't like their decision, a couple phone calls is all it takes. That's how it's "supposed" to work. Don't want your kids to see porn or hear cuss words? Then do your job as a parent! Don't ask the government to step in! Every Linux box has a hosts.allow and a hosts.deny. if you love your kid, set deny to "all" and then only allow those DNSs you approve. Of course, you don't have to be a system programmer to do it. I'm surely not. It wouldn't take much of an app to perform that function. (I can't even remember the proper syntax. I just remember the feature from the early '90s when we were bringing the Internet to rural Idaho.) You can set a browser to shut down everything and allow your kids to only visit sites you approve. If your kid is sophisticated enough to hack that, then they're far enough along cognitively not to need your overprotectiveness.

In the cities, where the rules of Nature are suspended in favor of deluded intellectuals' fantasies, there's enough wealth and inertia for them to stumble ahead, even though they're broken. That kind of nonsense can't go on in small towns, because there just isn't enough money to pretend Nature isn't a thing. If it doesn't work, the town goes broke immediately, and the mayor's run out on a rail.

  355.  @ms_understood630  Maybe if they didn't CENSOR the lab-leak hypothesis for a year, I'd believe they were all about the science. Maybe if Fauci's email "Did we cause this?" weren't pried loose under FOIA, you could make a case. Maybe if treatments OTHER than the experimental "vaccine" weren't universally suppressed and medical data from our best clinicians were able to be shared in full light of day, I'd believe CDC is following science. Science doesn't hide data. Science doesn't fear transparency. Maybe if there weren't ZERO flu deaths reported last winter, I'd believe this wasn't politically driven. So, did COVID magically extirpate influenza from the planet? Maybe if they didn't lock us in our homes for a year and make us wear masks outside with nobody around us, I'd believe this was about science. Main thing that makes me think this is about something other than COVID is the censorship. We've seen government and industry, via Big Tech, suppress free speech pretty systematically for the last few years. Much of what was censored a few years ago as "misinformation" is now known to be true. Those who got it right were subjected to scorn and ridicule. Some were even banned from social media, entirely. And for what? Speaking the truth! There was a time in this country when we believed that the best approximation to the truth was achieved by letting all sides speak their truth and letting the people decide for themselves. That has now given way to "those guys are wrong, and it's just too DANGEROUS to let them be heard." Why are these people so fragile about dissenting opinions? If they truly believe they're in the right, then they should welcome debate and total transparency, but that's not what we're seeing. And I'm not just talking about COVID. I'm talking about ANYTHING the Democrat National Committee or their crony corporations don't want us to hear. I'd have a little more confidence in what I was being told if I didn't sit through 3 years of RussiaGate hoax. I'd be more open to the other side if we didn't go to war over WMDs that never existed. There's a LONG PATTERN of misinformation and disinformation from the same people who have been censoring what THEY call misinformation. If this doesn't make you doubt what you're being told, NOW, then I don't think you're capable of much critical thinking.

  359. Every time I see Christopher Wray I want to puke. The warrants against the Trump campaign were the biggest case Rosenstein had on his plate. For him to testify that he didn't read those warrant applications, he should've been fired on the spot, and a criminal investigation initiated. But wait. Those are handled by the DOJ. That explains everything. When Bill Barr gave Rosenstein a tongue bath on his "retirement," it told us all we needed to know about Bill Barr. At the LEAST, Rosenstein was grossly negligent. But more likely, he lied through his teeth. We'll never get to the bottom of ANY of this malfeasance and abuse of power, unless Durham comes up with something. So, basically, we'll never get to the bottom of this.

We saw the horror play out across all main stream media and every Democrat on the street. It drove all of them crazy to lose power, and they let down their masks. Denied the legitimacy of Trump's election then and to this day. And they tried to outlaw any Republicans from claiming there was anything fishy going on in 2020. It's not about fairness or losing an election. With the Democrats, it's ALL ABOUT POWER.

  410. Democrats knew open borders was unsustainable, but it was too good of a virtue signal to pass up. What we're seeing is what they promised to do in 2020, without telling us the easily predictable consequences. These scenarios are and have been taking place across Europe. Anyone with a brain could see this coming. That's why only Democrats voted for it. One must conclude that the Democrats WANT this chaos and unfairness.

  411. "I don't care about reality. I care about my power, the approval of my superiors, my paycheck, my pension and my benefits." They aren't serious about these charging stations, and we would go broke trying to build them all. The EV craze is not practical, not affordable, and the benefit to the environment is virtually NIL. To reach zero carbon, you will have to murder the entire human race.

  412. By FAR the most violence-inciting rhetoric is coming from the left. Mad Maxine Waters should be in jail. All the lefties on the panel want speech that's critical of them or their ideology to be defined as hate speech. But when they're explicitly threatening people and inciting violence, well that's just free speech. We had over a year of street violence, rioting and looting due to Democrat rhetoric. But that's just free speech. Trump had ONE rally that had a handful of knuckleheads do some silly and stupid things, and THAT is a "threat to our democracy." Nonsense. Leftists can attack the Supreme Court (remember the storming of the Supremes over Kavanaugh's appointment, during #metoo? ) and that's just free speech. They can besiege federal buildings and firebomb them. That's just a few people getting out of hand. But if a conservative makes ANY protest, they go on a watch list and are accused of being terrorists.

  414. The more things they run top-down, the more shortages there will be. I thought Hitler proved this with coal, rail transport and bread, before the war, already! Nazi mismanagement of all three had them borrowing money to buy their needs on credit. They HAD to go to war to steal that stuff, because government had no clue about the industries they nationalized.

  416. Barr appointed him. No way he upsets the apple cart. He stretched it out and came back with a nothing burger. They're not going after anybody for the fraud and basically treasonous/seditious activities of Obama appointees, and even some of Trump's own Swamp appointments like Pompeo and Bolton.

  417. We've fought at LEAST 4 wars since WW II without a single declaration of war by Congress. We're dropping bombs, right now. Obama was our drone-commander-in-chief. We're slipping into tyranny of the unelected, now. All it takes is 20 or 30 "scientists" with their noses buried in the public trough to end the U.S. Constitution as we know it. It's been gradual. But the transformation is nearly complete. The rate of government/multinational take-over is accelerating at breakneck speed.

  422.  @R.L.KRANESCHRADTT  NONE of the 27 Amendments were passed by a convention. If you can get the 2/3 you need to call a convention, you've got the 2/3 you need to pass it through Congress, like the OTHER 27 Amendments. A constitutional convention is not limited to just one thing. Whoever happens to be there will have the power to re-write the U.S. Constitution, without limit. THAT is a very dangerous thing. Regardless of what congressmembers want, if a 2/3 majority of the American people want term limits, they will MAKE the congress pass it. Opening a convention could wipe out the BEST of a pretty good constitution.

  424.  @uhclem  We have so many laws that we are ALL criminals, just waiting for the government to notice us for speaking out or otherwise offending the powerful. Easy enough to single us out and lock us up, because we are all already guilty. At the same time, if we're pals with the establishment, we can commit any crime we wish and be protected. Complicated rule sets are the safe harbor for thieves and scoundrels.

  426. Proving fraud is a lot harder than finding widespread shenanigans and irregularities, which election officials refuse to investigate or provide records. We held up the Bush election certification for MONTHS, so we could count hanging chads in Florida. In 2020, the irregularities were ENORMOUS, with more votes cast than registered voters in many precincts in Arizona, for instance. But the rush to certify was IMMEDIATE. Hillary STILL insists 2016 election was stolen. BOTH parties complain about DOMINION, but whoever wins says "Nothing to see, here." After 2020, I want voter ID, paper ballots, and observers monitoring and double-checking the counts. I think Democrats do more shenanigans, because they control the political apparatus in almost all the crap-hole blue cities. This professor would be more up on these matters if he didn't rely on MSM for his narratives.

  428. I just wish the Republicans would nominate THIS guy for president. He knows how the sausage is made in Washington and he'd give us a better shot at a principled draining of The Swamp. Barring Carson or (Ron) Paul, the latter of whom is probably too old, now, Trump is the only guy close to a nomination, who offers us any hope of draining The Swamp. And he's not as well-versed and doesn't know his way around The Swamp, so he always ends up trusting Swamp Rats, like Pompeo, Bolton, etc., and they sabotage the drainage process every time. Bunch of War Pigs who want our money.

  430. They could close down 50% of the federal government and the only people who would miss it would be government workers and direct beneficiaries of government largesse. Government doesn't need to run better. Government needs to quit trying to run everything. That's the whole point of the U.S. Constitution: The feds take care of a small number of things and the rest is left up to US! We rejected being told what to do by out-of-touch aristocrats, AND THEY'RE BACK.

  431. I agree that consumers want cleaner, more durable products. Let the market take over. But that's not what these crusaders want. They want to use force and drive us all into poverty because they're all authoritarians, whose urge to save the world is actually the urge to rule. EVs? Good. For some applications. But don't ram them down people's throats. So far, the only thing we've gained by government green policies is to drive manufacturing to countries who pollute much more for the same products than we do. China and India are building coal plants for their electricity. Most of the charging stations in the USA run off coal/oil/natural gas generation plants. It's all just a massive grift to redistribute wealth upward. None of this crap is good for the common people.

  436. I remember my white progressive friend hyperventilating and calling me a racist when I said "We need voter ID." Usually, I don't let the stupid politics of pretty smart people whom I genuinely like interfere with friendship, but I just couldn't get past that. He honestly believed I was a racist. And if he didn't, he was utterly mendacious, and not someone to be around or trust. Either way, we couldn't be friends. As his friend, I wouldn't want to inflict myself on someone with such a low opinion of me. And if he'd knowingly lie to win an argument, then I didn't want to be around him, on my own account.
