  1. Climate change IS an opportunity for grifters like Kerry.

  2. I'm sick of these "tough questions asked" clips. We all know that the official will do what they're going to do, and that Congress can do nothing about it.

  3. He should've been speaker instead of McCarthy in the first place. I despise the RINOs in the party.

  5. 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!

  6. Wray doesn't testify. Wray stalls and obfuscates.

  7.  @Layarion  Our country originally kept the government out of everything. Now it wants the government to run everything. I just know I never voted for any of those 3-letter or 4-letter agencies.

  8. D.I.E. is an entire new (extra, parasitic) layer of bureaucracy that will one day be the infrastructure and staff of the Party Commissars. It's already happening in corporations and universities around the country. You can be taken down for wrong think in a million different ways by these people. Whispering campaigns, subtle threats, and expanding into kangaroo courts with all the power and none of the protections for the accused in criminal courts. It's very $oviet.

  9. 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.

  12.  @egosumhomovespertilionem  Yes. They're lunatics. Or maybe they're just in a childlike state of arrested development. All of economics is trade-offs. You can't just wave a magic wand (as Obama loved to say), change one major input, and not expect there to be major consequences. 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.

  13. Doesn't matter if Kennedy asks the right questions, if Wray can wriggle out of answering and remain director of the FBI. 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.

  14. Most are probably afraid of being exposed, as may be seen in the lengths they went to hide the facts. It's a mix of fear and arrogance.

  15. Lack of transparency is a real trust-builder, ain't it? That's why, when people oppose forensic audits of 2020 election, it makes me realize that everything must be on the up-and-up.

  17. "Jim Crow 2.0" is Democrats picking up where they left off in the 1960s, using identity politics to bring back legalized racial discrimination and segregation, in the name of "anti-racism."

  21. 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.

  24. It's not flood insurance if it takes an annual infusion of federal money. It's a floodplain subsidy for people who build in bad places.

  26. 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.

  36. We shouldn't have to defend the 2nd Amendment. The burden is on these jerks who insist on gun control laws that do NOTHING to reduce gun violence. The most controlled areas have the most gun violence, largely because the law-abiding have such a hard time obtaining firearms to defend themselves against armed criminals.

  39. He's in a tough spot. Continuing aid means forever war and endless money that we don't have being spent into the future, endlessly. Ending aid creates a vacuum in the region, which will also result in mass bloodshed. We painted ourselves into a corner in 1948 and we're still stuck in it. Best to rip the band-aid off, and end this sunk-cost fallacy that creates violence and corrupts our democratic process here at home. Americans didn't sign on to your globalist project.

  50. Smalltown America is much as it has ever been. There aren't thugs roaming the streets in most small towns across the nation. And if anybody DOES get out of hand, the cops are there and if the cops aren't there, there will be armed citizens confronting them. The madness he describes is an urban phenomenon. 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.
