@ContantContact You earned your Engineering degree in 71, 10 years before the outsourcing of our production to communist china. Totally different country, by the time I earned my 2 Engineering degrees around year 2000. I worked at over 20 different non-union machine shops, (most while paying my way through school), and spent 12 years in college classes total, (part time). I could not find a entry level manufacturing engineering job in Grand Rapids Michigan, and I ended up starting my own business that has/can do better than any union worker wages in the world now. I remember my 2nd job in 1987, and the CNC guru of the shop asked me, "So, what do you hope to do with manufacturing?" I told him, "I hope to make a good living." His reply, "Good luck. The rules have changed". You were a bit earlier than me,---and it was a different nation. It was a better nation.

The only cure for race relations, is "individual liberty". In fact, I know a few Black families named Washington, Jefferson and Franklin. They have those names not because the slave owner gave the salves their own family names, (as taught today, as silly as that is), but because when they were freed, (as a result of the philosophies of individual liberty of our founding), they realized how great it was to have individual liberty, and named their own families after the people who finally implemented it for a society. Those ex-slaves in the USA, were very happy they ended up in the USA, just like I am very happy my great grand parents moved here from Poland.

@kenwilliamsvoice I am with ya man. Getting older white guy here who spent my life following my desires, (instead of becoming a political activist graduate), and after decades of school and work in manufacturing, I started my own little business. I did it part time for about 3 years, and it took off like it was alive. I was then making 6 figures out of my one car garage, and obama got elected. I turned on the news for the first time in my life, (remember, I was busy chasing my rational desires), and I asked myself, "What country is this from", (even Fox). I loved Trump in 2012 when he would talk for 10 minutes about unfair trade. I would turn the radio volume up all the way, (so my then progressively educated neighbors could, but I am sure was not listening), and dance in my front yard until he stopped talking. After obama got elected, I had a real hard time psychologically for about 3 years, than I discovered the writing of Ayn Rand, and I am not frustrated anymore, (I always hated the outsourcing to china for the last 3 decades, which set up my frustrations). Capitalism belongs to us! Every man woman and even child, not only in the USA, but the world! It is called communism when the governments run, (ruins) the economy. It is our ability to think to create business with individual liberty protected by law that creates a civil and prosperous society, and I have a simple example. Lest say you and I were taught to hate each other. But if we still have the liberty to create our own businesses, we might end up doing business together, (trading money instead of blood), like you own a print shop, and I need printing done. I dig your quality, price, on time delivery, and we start making more money together. What do we become? Friends.
Capitalism(free market) belongs to us citizens. We invented it which individual liberty allowed, and it is being stolen from us because the rules of the world don't want us making big money, (a Pizza shop is OK though). If you notice in many industries today, there are no beginners allowed. Maybe that is why I modify small 2-stroke gas engines for a living today, instead of making automobiles. RIP Preston Thomas Tucker.
With everybody I do business with, from the store teller to my customers to my bank, after the transaction, I now always say, "It was a pleasure doing business with you.", because I now know how special doing business with each other really is.

Good post, but the only thing missing is a definition of what capitalism was before it got distorted. It was a free citizenry who created the free market, and it actually belongs to every citizen. What we are seeing, is government's taking over our capitalism, our right to use our brains to compete in any industry, or build a new industry. Once a government takes over an industry, (that free people built), or over regulates it,---no beginners are allowed. Now since that is reality today, we are now seeing elected government "workers", telling us what we need to do for a living, "Just learn to code", (for one example). Strange, almost 50 years ago as a young boy, I was talking with a friend as we laughed, "In a communist country, you can't even grow up to be what you want to be."

When you add the effects of compression and rebound dampening (oil damper), this gets much more complicated than just a spring with no damper. In fact, a spring alone does a terrible job of keeping the wheel on the ground.
Playing with dirt bike suspension in the good old days of Motocross (using about 12" of travel), I found I actually got a plusher ride with a stiffer spring (front forks, and very little preload on the springs), that still resisted big bumps with less compression dampening, and more rebound dampening (assuming the dampers were set correctly with the stock springs).
As for the preloaded travel of a dirt bike, you pretty much want your suspension to have eaten up about 33% of the total travel with you on the bike, no matter what your spring rates are, and that is adjusted by a preload ring that compresses the spring.
But, if you add the dampening,--I bet the math work goes up exponentially---but it still has to work as well in the real world, and will need field testing to fix.
Sophisticated suspension, (depending on the demands and severity of the application), seems to be one of those things that almost never comes off the drawing table very well.
You should look at some of the front forks of MX bikes today. Nobody knows how to adjust them, there are so many knobs and air chambers. But one fork on Yamaha the kabaya (sp) SSS forks, that is over 10 yer old technology, and still uses a spring, romps them all in overall performance and probably every category.
You post great stuff young man. I hope there are more like you.

Mark Beets: I really don't care if she is a con artist or not. It is results I am looking for. I know the difference between a good message of individualism, and a bad message of collectivism. If she is becoming enlightened, (which only individualism can do, everything else is like the dark ages), she is new, and she will improve her message even more. I will be able to tell the difference, and I don't think you can, (yet).
My point is, as long as her message is good, I am going to give her a shot to she if her message gets even better, (pssst---read Ayn Rand, than make individual liberty palatable to Americans, because we forgot what it is, and how exciting it is.).----I say shine the spot light on her.
I will stick with the premise of the message and support Candace because her message is good. We will get exactly what we deserve, (it all depends on how we think), so the message is more important than if she is a fraud or not.
Personally, I think she is too good to be a fraud, (I don't think a leftist thinker has great talent in anything, which is why they are leftists), but the future messages will tell. Let her speak!

What is your "ideological home"? I know mine, and I can define it properly, even if you don't understand. There are 2 basic ideologies , (out side of religion), that are the actual sides, (in case you think it is "left and right", which have no definitions). One of them hate the free enterprise system and the factories that got mankind (in the USA especially) out of poverty. That philosophy, (or ideological home) says you don't live for your self,--but for the community. That is the philosophy that has always attacked the free enterprise system, but there is a twist today. We gave our free enterprise system to communism with china starting in 1978, and it is no longer a free enterprise system created by free individuals. You were never even sharp enough to ask why china, who was given our factories that free people built, have no environmental regulations as part of the unfair trade deals. communism vs. individual liberty/our free enterprise system. When you start figuring out reality, you will see that is our real choice,---until we are full blown commie, and will no longer have that choice.
I am an extremist---for individual liberty protected by law, and free people creating and owning their free enterprise system. If you look closely,---you can easily see it is those 2 principles that are being destroyed,---by communism, ever since we started making our own money.
Have I described my "ideological home" well enough for you? Your turn. Lets see what you actually "think".

I don't know much about the German AfD party, (or what AfD stands for), but I just heard a speech from one of their spokes people, (A Christine Anderson), about the crimes of forced vaccinations. Is it true that "far right" = individual liberty protected by law, ----and left = communism?
How would you define government force? This group (AfD) seems to desire the "individual liberty protected by law" that founded the USA, and freed the Black slaves in 1876.
People who can figure out reality from all over the world, desire individual liberty protected by law, and they populated the USA during our "productive" years.
I want to thank my Great Grand parents for moving here from Poland in the very early 1900's,---for individual liberty protected by law. Until we are full blown commie,---those are still our philosophical choices of how we want to live here on Earth. Individual liberty protected by law, or the total force of communism. It is still your choice, so choose wisely.

"Left" right" and many otehr political words/phrases have no objective definition. So the definitions are different in all of our minds, different over time, and different in geography. That is the reason why we are all bumping into each otehr in a political fog. We have been semi traditionally taught that left is communism, and right is nazism, as if individual liberty protected by law is the fulcrum compromise somewhere in the middle. I define left as all government control over a citizenry, (and simply call it all communism), and right as its opposite, "Individual liberty protected by law". At least that gets rid of the confusion. The reason why you hear people of "the left" (like all of our news and probably much of our school teaching today), always call people nazi (who today are people who still believe in individual liberty in the USA), and not communists,---is because they are communistic. They will never admit the fight is between government control and individual liberty. So they call anybody who does not agree a nazi. Yes, communism fights communism too. Every war since WW2 was a fight of controlling governments,---while we were taught we were free.

Fall in line with what? Can you define the philosophical (how man should live) differences between global communism and individual liberty protected by law? Fall in line with what? Now let me explain the pain they are going through, and how it hit me.
I will not laugh at these people. Even though their premise is wrong, I fully understand the massive pain they are going through. I felt the same way when obama got elected, and going through that is terrible. Emotional pain that I did not think existed. It hurts like hell! It is Hell! Some may even kill themselves if they see no hope. But if they make it to lower gas/grocery prices and the ability to get a pretty good paying job or start a business, (preferred), they will be stepping on the moral path, under the moral premises of human freedom. Education starts after graduation today, and it is up to us to know the difference. Self educated, (after 3 college degrees), lover of human individual liberty,---Doug Johns
PS: Not "Falling in line with any group" is the definition of the wonderful and limitless individual mind.

If you have not noticed, living under our constitution is gone. Censorship is everywhere, we are not allowed to compete in any industry, (sans some recreational industries), and our individual liberty has been diminished to the point where we are now responsible for every body else's health, (the latest transformation), Kids graduate with math, science and reading lower than 30th in the world. My old JH school told me I was free to grow up to be what ever I wanted, (which meant I have a brain in my head and a free enterprise system to use it in.), and now their official sign says, "Forward to serve", (who are the kids suppose to serve when they grow up?). Now to top it all off, we now have in reality and known,---rigged elections. That means we live under a dictatorship now,----kids.
Anybody at YT want to Pin this one? No? Fine. It is your future. Glad I am old.

I knew it all my adult life, (mid 50's old Polock here), that neither party was protecting our liberty, (and no party does protect individual liberty in all of Western Culture).
I like Candace also. I think she is learning in the proper direction, but until we can replace all politicians with liberty minded people who understand that it is the proper function of government to protect our liberty, (not incrementally destroy it), to promote the best education in the world in the USA, (if involved with education at all), and to give capitalism back to the citizenry so we can all chase our dreams, and even get rich, (It is called communism when the government runs the economy). I for one am tired of seeing both parties destroy our opportunity, then treat us like children. I am tired of all the government ads on the radio, the baby sitter for the poor stupid citizenry, (some time playing more than 6 times in a row, like Mao in our faces.
When Candace realizes this is not a party fight for liberty, (that will never happen), but a ideological fight all the way down to the core of philosophy, then,---well,---I think we will like her very much more, and her donations would probably go up.
She should read some Ayn Rand. The best philosopher for man's individual liberty the world has ever seen. Yea, every commie hated her. :)
If most of us can reignite the philosophies of "Individual Liberty", that created our freedom in the first place (and is the philosophy's that freed Black people in 1863), only then will we be able to move back into the direction of individual liberty protected by law (and is color blind).
Don't forget about "our capitalism" also. Even if we were taught to hate each other because we are different races, If we do business together, (because we both do good work, and provide a good service, we both benefit), we become friends.
There are only 2 things that create a civil and prosperous society, (and I experienced some of both).
1) Living under the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, (not allowed to commit crimes on others, which is a infringement of liberty).
2) The free market owned by the citizens, (so we can use our minds to chase our dreams). How are we suppose to chase our dreams with out capitalism in our hands? We can't.
If that makes sense, read Ayn Rand's stuff, (non-fiction first).

No study will ever talk me into socialism/communism. I have personal experience with individual liberty and what may be the Lassiez-Faire industry on the planet, (recreational/RC model industry). I became a expert in manufacturing, earned 3 college degrees in manufacturing while working full time, and finally started my own business. I was just modifying small gas engines for racing applications for scooters, then the market changed and RC car companies started making a bigger car with the same engines I was modifying. That was when I was able to quit my job, and do my business full time. For the next three years, I made more money out of my one car garage than any union worker in the world, (and many lawyers too), over 125 grand a year. I think we need to demand our individual liberty back, and our free market back, (from government and their crony business partners), because there is no other system in the world that would allow me to make over 38 grand, (what I last made as a highly skilled, and highly educated employee). I don't even care if you support capitalism after your schooling. If you have not experienced individual liberty and the free market in your hands,----you can not explain it properly, unless your name is Ayn Rand.

@strings1586 "Extremist": So Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, George Washington, which lead to Thomas Edison, Nikolai Tesla, George Westinghouse The early auto industry in the USA, (where thousands of companies competed, and even Harley Davidson. But we are taught today that all "extremists" are bad people, (so just be the average sheep), when in reality an "extremist" is just a person who thinks on the boundaries of common knowledge, and many of them became good scientists, mathematicians that fostered new and very very helpful industries. Ad Martin Luther king once said, (and correctly). "It is not that we are extremists, but what kind of extremists we are." That is true,--but still did not define what kind of extremist he was. I don't have any problem defining what kind of extremist I am. I am a extremist for individual liberty protected by law, and free people creating and owning their free enterprise system that they created in the first place.
Join me---or we fall to the other and opposite extreme,----communism. All we have to do is know what we stand for philosophically, and reject communism.

Mr. Brown man! Lyrics, and why I wrote them: (to help us understand how we save our freedoms).
I graduated rural Michigan HS in 81, just as the outsourcing of our production to communism, (china), and I got into manufacturing. Even at that naive age, I knew "Production or Poverty" was our real choice, (And still is, always will be.). Since then, (after decades of experience at many different shops, earning a total of self paid 3 college degrees in manufacturing, making little money until I started my own business,) I have learned why our free market is not compatible with communism. It is because they are based on two different philosophies. The free market was created by free people, who were living under the philosophies of "Individual Liberty", (that gave them the freedom to start their own business or industry), and communism does not recognize individual liberty at all. Which philosophies do you think are winning today? I wrote these song lyrics back under the dictatorship of obama, but I can't play anything, (and I blame a 8th grade band instructor, or I could have been one heck of a good Trumpet Musician). If you like them Mr. Brown, (and a good voice you have), you can have them. But I do expect a small percentage of royalties if you make money with it, because that is good business. If we only do business with good people, we will only have good business. Doug Johns, Freesoil Michigan.
If you make these lyrics famous,----------------you will have done a immeasurable, (and a lot), to help Americans understand the opportunity and liberty they are giving up. To hell with "their issues". All they do is divide us more. "It's Our Turn". Take those lyrics, and put them in everybody's mind. I understand what needs to be heard to save the philosophies that created our liberty in the first place. I can write more.
Title-----------”WE THE PEOPLE”- BUILT THIS PLACE!”
“Once a great nation, turning into dust.
No oil, no movement, it is us who look like rust.
We used to build things, we used to achieve.
But we can’t keep it now, because of Intellectual thieves.
We made product here, and shipped it with care.
Spider webbed our economy and taught our Children “Go get it--it is right there!”
Corus---“Oh--how great we were, when we made the Hula Hoop here.
We all chased our dreams, hardly ever a tear.
We can do it again, if we just understand.
That Capitalism belongs to every child, woman and man.”
“Capitalism belongs to you and me.
Not government(s) to take over and ship over seas.
I can build a car, much like the once great Henry Ford,
But not allowed now, because of regulation boards.
Why is it, in the Land of Opportunity,
We have auto companies--that may only total 3, oops 2?
Allowed to achieve, we will show the noble way,
To tomorrows renaissance, and keep poverty at bay.”
“Corus---“Oh--how great we were, when we made the Hula Hoop here.
We all chased our dreams, hardly ever a tear.
We can do it again, if we just understand.
That Capitalism belongs to every child, woman and man.”
“We know business belongs to you and me.
It is our opportunity, it is our prosperity.
“Good will” as we trade, and watch every one win.
Any other way, can be considered a sin. (repeat line)
These Industries we built, with our brain and our hands.
So beware of the master minds, who claim to have better plans.
Always remember, and never forget--
WE THE PEOPLE BUILT THIS PLACE, AND WE AIN’T DONE YET!!!
Corus---“Oh--how great we were, when we made the Hula Hoop here.
We all chased our dreams, hardly ever a tear.
We can do it again, if we just understand.
That capitalism belongs to every child, woman and man.”
“Spoken word” at the end.---“Hmmm--I thought it was called communism, when the government ran the economy. Isn’t that right?”

In one way more more, to differing degrees, every American citizen alive today, weather we understand it or not, has been sabotaged,---by the progressive/communistic movement. In my case, it was with manufacturing, with the outsourcing to communism/china that kept my wages just above poverty, even with 2 engineering degrees I earned along the way, (3 degrees total). The only thing that got me out of poverty, was my own business. Now look at our schools, with math science and reading lower than 30th in the world. That can only be sabotage. Every one of us have been sabotaged by our elected/selected. Every one of us could have done better with our lives in a true free society.

@Weiner-Worm I earned 3 college degrees, (one associates and 2 engineering degrees, all in manufacturing), taking 2 classes a semester and working full time, starting out flipping burgers for $4.00/hr. After 20 years of that, (12 years of school and working in 20 different machine shops, looking for more money), I was still just above poverty, (and never started a family, because I could not afford to do it),---until I stated my little business. I was then making more money than any union worker in the world out of a 1 car garage, and obama got elected, and told me, "You did not build that!"
I still live off my business---but that really killed my spirit of achievement.
I say, get into a free market field that you enjoy, (not working for the state),and use your employers as an education you actually get paid for,---then start your business when you are ready. We can still do that,---until we are full blown communistic, and almost all free market is taken over. Oh yea---probably not a good idea to even buy a restaurant today.

I have noticed that also, dressed with class in the 40's. But I also thought the Zoot Suit was very cool with a modern classy, (for the time), and even celebratory vibe of success. Today, I could go shopping and try to embarrass somebody for wearing pajama bottoms in public by saying, "Nice pajamas", and they say "Thank you".
It may be risky to try to set a good example today. The jealously of some, generated by societal decline, can prove to be dangerous, even in what is seen as "a good area".
No gold man, no gold. :) Holding up good values is not easy today, but it has to be done, or we end up with none. I congratulate you sir.

@estelaangeles2346 The West, (especially the USA), were free enough people to have the individual liberty (protected by law), to start business and industries. The free enterprise system, (where all advancements came from), was created/invented by free people. Now communism does not recognize individual liberty at all,---and we in the west simply gave them our free enterprise system, (and dumbed down our education system at the same time). The USA even helped communism win the civil war in china in the late 40's, (a long and intermittent war) against the "Nationalists", (I have no idea what their ideology was, but I know it was not "individual liberty" as what formed the USA.), by arming the communists to win over china. What you are watching is communism destroying free enterprise, (actually taking it over to fund themselves), and individual liberty protected by law. Once any government takes over an industry,---nobody else is allowed to compete. Ever hear of Preston Tucker? He was making abetter car after WW2, and congress destroyed him for the rest of the industry. But Honda built a manufacturing empire after WW2? I am thinking Japan won WW2, and we forgot what we were fighting for. Doug in Michigan

That is the entire idea of our progressive education today; Tell them something they do know, then fill their heads with garbage, and call it reality. With everybody around them in the same garbage pile, they think it is reality. What is going on here is the "education" is killing their ability to "reason" on their own. If you are a health person wearing a mask, you gave up that ability to reason, and your right to act on your own rational reason already. So what happens when people can not reason for themselves? Well, they need a baby sitter, and that is one thing that can open the door for a dictatorship, the most terrible baby sitter the world has ever seen. I refuse to give up my ability to reason, and my right to act on my own rational reasoning to anybody.
I bet, a child who is learning to talk, is by nature, figuring out reality more effectively than the average college student today.

@k333rl I don't know what an "assault rifle" is. "Assault" is a decision made by criminals. The bat from the sport "Baseball", if used in a crime is still a Baseball bat, that was used, by choice, as a weapon. It does not change the gender of the bat, even if it was purchased or used for assault or self defense.
Now to the point. To call a tool a weapon of crime, (the the Police use), when it, like just about any object, can simply be used in a crime,-- is condoning the crime by putting the blame on a tool with no ability of "choice". An arsonist burns down a home, murdering a family in their sleep, and they would blame the matches.

A stolen American dream that could have been inspiration for decades.
But nobody really pegs who the thieves are/were who stole the Tucker dream from them (yes, it was stolen---I am not setting the narrative).
The free enterprise system does not mean that government gets in relations with business to give favor or punishment to who they choose.
Henry Ford was one of the first companies to get in bed with government. Why did he do it?
Because he was facing a lot of great competition, and found it easier to get political favors, (against his competition), than to face a man of ability in the free market.
Why does government have a interest (and ignore the responsibility of protecting Tuckers rights in a free enterprise system) with Ford, and others of major industry (where it started)? Because it gave government a avenue to grow their power over us.
Now we have a fascistic crony system---where there are no beginners allowed in just about every industry.
Tucker was a direct victim of what we are all really victims of,---the theft of our individual rights, and our capitalism.
Demand your "individual rights protected by law" back: ----- The major car companies could not take down Tucker with out government favors, with laws that protect his individual rights, no company could effect another in a underhanded way.
Demand "your capitalism" back:-----Meaning a separation of business and state, putting capitalism back in you hands where it belongs---so we can compete.
Any other way of life more resembles groups of farm animals making up a population, and not thinking human beings.
Your brain has the right to be free.
Your brain has the right to think.
You have the right to compete.
Demand it.

@godspi4609 "yea yea I get it...but what "freedom" have you lost?" This is a typical question from the ideologies of communism, (check your premise), and I have the answer you do not expect. I firmly believe in individualism because I know we all have a unique brain that can reason if practiced. I know we have to be free from force to be able to think and act in our natural pursuit to figure out reality in our universe, and prosper with the free market that free minds originally built. Your individual freedom is just not yours. It belongs to every individual who lives. When any individual, loses their freedom in a court of law, we all lost that freedom in that court of law. I love to use a real example of Preston Thomas Tucker, who tried to make a beete4r automobile after WW2, (and he did it), and was not allowed to compete by unjust law in a unjust court. Nobody had tried to make a car since,---with out seeking government subsidies for the kind of car government wants you to drive. With every court case that had denied the rights of the individual in that case,----you lost those rights too. You just may not recognize if from your couch.

Does anybody, (including Mr. Serling), know why the USA was considered 'exceptional"?
Answer: Because we were based on the Aristotelian philosophies of "individual liberty protected by law", and the rest of the world was based in some form of government ruling over the citizens, (and is again).
It was actually the philosophies of our founding, of "individual liberty" that finally freed the Blacks from forced labor; (that existed as a economic backbone before the nation was formed), the opposite philosophies of collectivism enslaves people, and has never granted more freedom to any citizenry. But the USA did not, and do not increasingly today, always protect the individual (as is their proper purpose), as we see.
Can't we see that every complaint about injustices in the USA's history and present, especially from the left (collectivism), is actually a infringement on "Individual liberty"? "Black rights, Woman's rights, Gay rights, etc etc, and complaint is a infringement of "individual liberty"
(It takes "Political will" to protect individual liberty, and that will is 99.9% gone in both parties; so what direction does that leave us?)
Please, make that point to anybody that taught you to hate the USA, and it's founding, (that every complaint of the USA is a infringement of individual liberty), then ask they why they desire the opposite philosophies of socialsim-communism, (the opposite of "individual liberty") to fix it.
Racism comes from collectivism, (socialism-communism). It is used to divide a more free society, to get the people arguing/fighting with each other, and killing each other. But if you believe in "individual liberty protected by law", where every human being is a body with their own brain, (all equal at birth), and has the right to use it to the best of their ability, to achieve, and gain dignity, happiness and wealth, but does not have the right to hinder anybody else's dream (outside of moral business competition), than "Racism" can not exist in your mind. I don't care what color you are, (or even if you have been taught to hate me), if we have individual liberty and the right to do business, and do business together, we become friends, working for our own interests together by free will.
"Group rights" do not exist! Where are they written down? Don't fall for that primitive tribal warfare crap! Only "individual rights" exist. When the fighting is done (and it never is under collectivism), and "individual liberty" is gone (because we ignore it in every argument), you will find there will be no rights at all.
Mr. Rod Serling, along with most of our society today, did/do not know how to end racism; and that is to preach individualism, (protected by political will/law), over collectivism.

The first gals art paintings are wonderful, a flash back to the romantic era of art. Note, her paintings of man and woman are of perfection, beautiful, inspiring, good. She is not showing any darkness, ans she is not capable of it. Her work shows she has a fantastic "sense of life", and the people who admire great work like that do also. Remember, the art that you admire, man in the dark or man as good, shows your "sense of life" also. One last step for her, to show man as heroic,---so we can be. :) That was the romantic era of art.

There was a time, over a decade back, when I would not put my hand over my heart or stand for the national anthem. I was mad at our government shipping our production to communist nations because that was my direct opportunity.
BUT I WAS WRONG!
That flag does not represent the people we elect, or the people who make up law, it represents me and you, (every citizen), our individual liberty.
We can't brainlessly say "I support the flag", or "I support the country", because we are falling into a dictatorship, and they will take the flag, jam it in our faces and demand you follow their ideology of communism. (and we won't know the difference)
WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE FLAG AND THE FOUNDING OF THE USA, TO THE CORE OF PHILOSOPHY!!! (if you want to keep liberty)
We have to demand our individual liberty back (which is color blind), and then we can get our nation back when we stop honoring a symbol, and start honoring the actual philosophies (individualism), that created our liberty from tyrants in the first place.
If we can't define our founding liberty to the core of philosophy, than that flag will define anything this communist movement wants it to define.
I never knew how important philosophy is. It leads man's existence. We are simply following primitive philosophies, and ignoring the philosophies that created man's freedom in the first place.

My brother has a 145IQ, lives in Seattle, is gay, and worked for Microsoft,---so you know where his politics are. I once gave a great little speech to him at a family Christmas holiday, (the only time he made it home and have not seen him for years now), about "individual liberty", and he called me a "fascist". You tell me, how is "individual liberty protected by law", (as this nation was founded), "fascist"? Individual liberty is even color blind, (that is the philosophy that freed the Black slaves in the USA), and is the antithesis of any kind of tribal, communistic, monarchy, or any other type of government ever devised by man. It was the people from those communistic fascists nations that left it behind and came to the USA. You have it backwards.

A true free market, (Laissez-Faire, or as close to it as we can get), is very dynamic and the most exciting thing that man has ever experienced. I own a business, a one man show, in a small industry that really has no regulation, (RC car and scooter modified gas engines), just the theft of taxes. There are new companies starting and failing all the time, and I am happy to say my toughest competition , (in sales only), does really bad work. I have seen several 14 year old kids, (kids into the go-ped scooter), try to start their own business in this industry. I sell my product all over the world to "individuals", and even from Qatar, I get along with them great on the phone. It is too bad the left does not realize how exciting, prosperous and civil we can be,---when we have the individual liberty to trade with money.
"Consumerism"? I don't think it means a thing in reality. Show me one person on Earth who is not a consumer.

In another clip, (same setting, but cut out for a college in Canada), he says: "I know you have personal individual liberty and you get to make your own choices, (ha), but you live in a society, reaping the benefits of a society, you have a responsibility to society. There comes a time when you have to give up, "what you consider your individual rights", for the good of society." Bull! Individual liberty means freedom from force of criminals,---and people like this. The whole idea of "individual liberty" was to be free from people like this, dictators, kings, tribes of any kind. There is no stated "responsibility to society" in our Constitution, because it was based on "individual Liberty protected by law". That is the moral way for man to live, and I know communism when I hear it.

We are confusing racism with the clash of ideology/philosophy, (how man should live, morally), and it was taught to do so.
Son, the ideology of communism that has our society over the last 130 years devolved into, has us thinking with our skin color and our genitals,---instead of our brains that can figure out reality if practiced. The clash of ideology/philosophy has nothing to do with race. You are not fighting the battle that stands up for the rights of man,-------------because we have a brain that can "reason" if practiced. That is what "individual liberty protected by law" was all about, the human brain, not the primitive group tribal warfare we have been funneled into. Want to now what creates civility and prosperity? Our liberty to do business with each other. Case in point, I am now a good friends of a Muslim man in Florida, because we are doing moral business with each other It was as easy as human nature, if we believe we were all born good. :)

No, I did that too. I went from working in 20 different non-union machine shops, (where the skill is), and paid my way through 3 college degrees, (2 of them, 4 year engineering degrees in manufacturing), and for all that time since the early 80's , while we sent our opportunity, the basis of wealth accumulation, (manufacturing) to communism. I was just over poverty the entire time, and struggling at times to the point of not knowing where my next meal was coming from, (a couple of times). Then I started a business, and in the little recreational industry I am in, (RC cars mostly), I have become known and respected around the world. Not rich,---but I have not counted my change since 2007, and I was able to upgrade to a new home and shop. The USA was "The Land Of Opportunity", and I don't want to be the last to find some. We need to demand our individual liberty back, and we need to demand our free enterprise system back. We, free people, invented the free enterprise system. Both our freedom and our free enterprise system? They both belong to us. It is people following the philosophies of communism who are stealing those from us, and there don't seem to be any leaders for the philosophies of human liberty that created the USA in the first place.

I will start off with this. The founding philosophies of individual liberty created the most noble nation man had ever created, but those philosophies are gone, thanks to the progressive movement in our education for over 100 years. Now we are starting to live under the opposite philosophies of communism, and the rest of my, (your), message will reflect that:
" Im not denying these issues. I'm not even close to being affluent in any way, but we get by okay. I stayed in school, don't do drugs, drink on weekends, eat decent, exercise weekly and surround myself with positive and loving people. Nothings perfect, but I'm super grateful with any measure of success. When you grow up dirt poor, anything else is a blessing."
What you said could be the words of a dirt farmer in communist china too. We don't know the difference, and there is no longer anywhere on Earth to go for real human liberty. Do you know when a person realizes that they are no longer free? When you try to follow your own dreams. Any little success we have,---is only simply allowed,--for now. None of us have reached our potential,---and we don't even try anymore. These peole who bash the USA, should be morning what it used to be instead, and demanding it back. They don't know the difference.

I don't know. He seems to hit pretty hard from the outside lately. He knocked Faber down a couple of times.
For his style, that is what sets this sport apart from any team sport and most other sports based on the individual. This sport is the best in the world, because it is deeply entrenched with the individual mind. The freedom to bring/develop your own style, (because of all the combat sport disciplines molded into MMA), is amazing in this sport, so any individual who brings a style that is hard to figure out, (bugs the competition too), should be celebrated IMO. Different styles are the keystone of the sports evolution to better talent.
But, I doubt there is a style that can not be figured out eventually, (like Holly Holm figured out Ronda Rousey).
Cody may not seem like a sharp enough guy to figure out Cruz, but he maybe a mastermind in the octagon. We will see.
I choose Cruz.

Here is another way the 2-stroke and 4-stroke differ, at least with Motocross bikes: When people with some free enterprise in their hands created the 2-stroke engine for Motocross bikes, say starting in the early 60's I believe, the cost of a dirt bike went down, (and I bought 3 of them as a kid making $1.00/hr at my Dad's store at the age of 10-16, in 1974-1980). But when a dictatorship like the EPA forces the 4-stroke engine on the MX industry, the price almost triples again, (the first time is a similar story of intervention of free enterprise.), and not many people are affording them anymore. The bike I bought for $800.00 as a kid, can not be afforded as a kid today at 10 grand.
There is another difference between the 4-stroke and the 2-stroke for MX, and it is the same difference between communism and liberty.

We have been conditioned to believe that a person who is an "extremist", is always a bad person. But to be an extremist only means you think at the edges of what is considered to be normal, (average), thinking. Let me name some people who were great extremists, who with out them we would not have had individual liberty or a free market. Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Edison, Newton, George Westinghouse, Harley and Davidson, Alexander Graham Bell, Preston Thomas Tucker, and anybody who ever used their mind to invent something,---in our extremely free nation, (of the time). Those "extremists" were Hero's.

Ohh, I think it is much deeper than that. Even in rural Michigan, (my area, and I am sure wide spread), less than 20% of elementary school children come from "whole families". It was nearly 100% whole families when I grew up in the same area and in school, (60 now). I see this at yet another attack on family values and family structure, and the damage has been done in reality for all to see. Less than 20% left is reality. Those results are in. I am not going to be long and discuss the philosophies that created this problem and is teaching in our schools today. But they are the opposite philosophies of our actual USA founding, and the philosophies today are evil. Breaking up the family structure is evil, and I am a victim of it myself. It has been going on for a while, "progressively" getting worse. Doug in Michigan

Well, production, manufacturing, factories is what formed my life,---and got mankind out of poverty. The more factories with give to communism,---the more we play music for a buck on the street. Don't get me wrong,---I would love to see the romantic era of art make a comeback. But I have seen all of my adult life when outsourcing to communism since the early 80's, machine shops being taken out of High Schools, with more arts and crafts, and other studies where kids move home after graduation. Lets start a factory making instruments,---and be a hero that got mankind out of poverty, while sounding good together. :)

Spreading misinformation? I did not turn off my TV news, (and the entire TV service) over 10 years ago because I thought I was being told the truth or adding morality to my living room.
Wanna know the truth? Smart Doctors do not work for hospitals anymore. The Doctors who work for a hospital today serve the state first, (like you do), and sever the patients last.
If you want a Doctor who has a chance of having their own good thinking brain,---you have to go independent. My last hospital Doctor was so distraught that I wanted a valid mask exemption, she could not diagnose my diabetes, and I almost lost my toes. Severing the state before the patients,---and CNN does not have any patients.
That is why I shut off my TV service. I just hate being lied to, and have 40 years of past experience with the lairs. The only people who can absorb this stuff are people with a brain that was born yesterday, and just about every graduated journalist. Read the script, do your duty. No thinking needed. Yes, communism pays you well for that, (until there is no free market to steal from). There are much better things to occupy my brain with. Click.

The kid is right at min 3:30. No matter what hassles you are dealing with in life, you get on a dirt bike, and it all goes away. These kids are going to be OK. Some of them might even gain the self esteem and become hero's, if they choose,----just like all of us. You kids should study the history of MX and how it got to the USA, it's all on you-tube. It is a great example how one new industry (after WW2) could provide so much opportunity,--for all of us.
I never thought I would see Black kids riding dirt bikes in a city, (or anybody). It is an amazing machine, isn't it? (Get into manufacturing and make parts for them, or more. You will love being a GOD, bringing in stuff with value that did not exist until you made it. Yea, I am talking from experience, and it all came from dirt bikes.

The problem is, we let the government be accountable for our lives. After shipping our free enterprise opportunity to communist china starting over 40 years ago, and the simultaneous dumbing down in our education system, (you are producing nothing if you don't know math, for one major example), we have become dependent on a brutal baby sitter that claims to have compassion, (making a citizenry rearted is compassion?). I say with individual liberty protected by law, free enterprise back in the hands of the citizens who created it in the first place, and an education system based on the growth of productive knowledge instead of everything else dysfunctional,--and I am sure we will all do much better than the baby sitter promises us. I know that, because we did it before. We are being treated like children under a horrible baby sitter. Be insulted.

I lost you in 38 seconds @ "Child labor", (even though I started working when I was 10, by free will mind you, and loved every dollar I made).
I don't need to see anymore to realize you think state education is the way to go. That is what we have now, and why see math science and reading down to about 30th in the world, during the De-industrialization of the USA over the last 30 plus years. How old are you son? We are all born into the USA of today, not knowing how great it was yesterday, (since progressive communistic groups took over our education starting over 100 years ago, "especially the study of law", and incrementally getting more dominant over the years, with "American value's of individual liberty and a citizen owned free enterprise system" destroyed, replaced with any, "non-productive", perversion in the youngest of grade schools today).
Why do you support the failure of state run education, and the destruction of the individual mind? Don't you think "We", in the private sector have the interest to do a better job? (and the talent). Look at these kids graduating college today! A child learning how to talk can form concepts based in reality, naturally and more efficiently, than a college grad activist today. THE PRECEPTS YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT IS NOT REALITY, you have to discover reality with your own senses and mind, and not take anybody's word for it, or you will be programmed by some group, (picking the one that reflects your young limited life experience the most to what you think you know at that point,----but never exactly what you know to that point).
Progressive/communist education sucks man---and it already made you a "Ward of the State".
I wonder if my next question is confusing to you at this time in your life:
Your a young man. What do you want to be when you grow up? Did you want to do this, (fight against individual liberty, is exactly what you are doing)?

What is with our attitude today, making money is evil? Is that what comes from our schools today or something? The free enterprise system is suppose to belong to you. Give it up, (to government), and we will be living in poverty.
Dana runs a sporting organization that gets people out of poverty from all over the world, including Conor, who admitted he was in the welfare line before his fight career took off.
We should not demonize people who make money, unless they made it,---by steeling it. Dana is not taking from anybody. He is creating value the correct way, by creating/running a organization that offers opportunity to just about everybody (who wants to compete) in the world.
It is the rich guys who got rich with government favors, that actually does screw the rest of us,---and deserve to be demonized (jailed IMO) along with the politicians who accepted the money from them.

We think "diversity" of human beings only applies to race, as if all cultures man has lived under share the same philosophies. As if all cultures are the same, and none are better or more moral than another.
There is nothing wrong with diversity of race. It is a beautiful thing actually IMO.
But diversity of IDEOLOGY creates violent problems from the street corner, to the most bloody wars mankind has endured. The biggest clash of ideology today, is communism, (at the root of most policy today), vs individual liberty protected by law.
Maybe, (not sure), the only way to end the violence of "diversity of ideology", is for mankind around the world to live under one philosophy. If so, it is true that we do have a choice still.
1) we can live under the philosophies of communism.
2) We can live under the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, with all citizens having the right to use their brain and compete in moral free enterprise.
If you can see that as our case, all we have to do is pick the one that does not use force, and reject the other.
If we don't understand that, we can't reject communism. Simple enough?
3
-
Correction for more clarity: Groups of human beings living under different philosophies will get along fine if none ever initiate force against another.
But it just so happens that only our USA founding ("exceptional", it was called), based on the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, and citizens creating free enterprise, (trading money instead of blood, becoming friends, discovering true human freedom.), are the only philosophies for man to live by so far, that does not use initial force against somebody else, which was called a crime. The real USA founding had it almost perfect, and we can see by the results today that we no longer live under those philosophies that created civility and prosperity, because we did not follow them well.
Until we are a full blow communist world, we still have a choice. Tick Tock.

@adventist77 Oh,---it is a Jesuit bio-weapons lab in china, and not communist bio-weapons lab? If you don't like the way we live, (and I don't either), you have to understand that it is the philosophies of communism we must reject, and embrace its opposite of individual liberty protected by law,----and God has nothing to do with it.
Bobby Fischer, (I love that story about that individual, a solo kid from Brooklyn, beating all of Russia in chess), was an idiot off the chess board. You are engaged in a primitive group fight,---and all we have to do is reject communism and demand our individual liberty back. God did not give man his/her rights. God game man the ability to reason, to figure out how to live by mans nature, and we figured out our natural rights and formed the USA.
But remember, it was the USA based on individual liberty protected by law that allowed different Churches, (who hate each other), to live side by side in relative harmony. Don't forget your spear in your primitive group religious fight. If you had a brain that worked,---you would reject this communist Pope, and try to figure out how that happened.

She was 22 years old when she started in the media, straight out of the new progressive HS and far left college, and only 30 years in the pit for life experience.
Oh yea, I bet she made a lot of money and lived a nice comfortable life while our free market, our opportunity, was shipped to communism over the last 40 plus years, and while our kids math, science and reading have fallen to about 30th in the world during the same period. You elect a person from non-union manufacturing who struggled to pay for their own engineering degrees, and still lived just above poverty, and you will most likely pick a person who understands liberty and opportunity,--and wants it back. This woman comes from the pit, and it would be all but impossible to gain good values after living with poor ones for your entire adult life. Be careful. The commies are not stupid, in fact, they are masters of psychology. I just have more past experience, (and the study of reality, engineering), with them and they don't trick me nearly as easily as they did just 20 years ago.
You don't just quit your profession and run for Governor with out a lot of help. Go try it. If I figure it out, I will help you if you come from the cloth of human freedom. She does not.

I am 57 years old. I was told in grade school that I was free to be what ever I wanted to be in the USA,---even President. Now, if you want to win, you have to join a party, giving up founding American values, (because both parties are based on collectivism), or you have to be a billionaire in what is left of our free enterprises system with no lobbyists, and hoe the election is not rigged too much. Having our founding philosophies is not required, and even shunned. We need to get rid of the party system of voting, (it is divisive), and allow anybody to run for office, 100% based on their merit and not a party affiliation or fat pocket book. The only thing that should be forced to be equal in this nation is free TV/radio/internet advertisement for political office, and equal time. That is not a "one party system". That is any individual with a brain in competition. Let the best ideas win.
Are you scared that I will beat you?

WHAT IS FREEDOM!!??
I think Freedom needs to be correctly defined, because the definition is different in all of our minds. What you think of freedom mostly depends on what you do with it, (or try to do, thinking you live in a free nation.). For the guy who does nothing with his life, (nothing of value), freedom is simply not being in jail. For the guy who works for the state, or a "workers" union, "Freedom" is to let somebody else control your wage, (and many times your thoughts), as long as your wage is higher than the non-union or the average small business guy. You are free to leave the state job or union, but you won't do it for your own real freedom. Then there is the guy who tried to be a hero. For example, Tucker, who tried to make a automobile to compete after WW2, and was destroyed by congress, and almost jailed by congress. Honda on the other hand, in Japan after WW2, was allowed to build a manufacturing dynasty, so who won their freedom by winning WW2? Freedom is the right to do things, that came from our free minds as free individuals, (not a list of jobs a government wants you to do), with your life in a free society. Do we have that?
Yea, maybe we should define freedom, huh, so we know what it is? I just did.

I have been thinking a long time about this issue: Truth in reality, (not just in a mind stuck at the perception level of reasoning), is the most important thing for man to discover. There is only one reality (again, not different, unfounded realities in our minds from being stuck at the perception level of reasoning), and it is up to man to discover it. Discovering truth in reality, (if practiced), is the most important aspect of man's mind to create the best and most moral way for man to live. The ability for you to "reason", (The process of discovering truth), is under attack, starting in our grade schools today. Do not give up your ability to think on your own, (Why individual liberty is moral), and discover truth in reality. Our lives really do depend on our ability to figure out truth in reality by the means of "reason". There is no other way to discover vital truth in reality.
Our lives will be total messes with out the discovery of truth in reality. Look around. Many already are. Doug in Michigan

Mr. Ron Paul made a joke around the 3:30 mark about adding a party for competition, and he replied to that comment made to him, "I have been waiting for a second party". I get that, but he does not get what I am about to say. Do you remember the actual grass roots Tea Party? I was part of it in 2008, (not 2010 when the republicans took it over that Rush recognizes), and I can tell you that when ever you have a group of people, (who usually have mixed ideologies in reality), that group can be infiltrated by the progressive/collectivist mentality, and will be, as the Tea party was. We need a voting system that costs nothing to run for office, (or as close to nothing as possible), so any individual can run for office and win solely based on their personal merits and not their political affiliation or their pocket book. Let me see a commie beat a natural law guy in that election. It will not happen anywhere in Western Culture, if the natural law guy is well spoken. Tom Woods?
I alwyas say, If you never join a group, you will never be told what to think. But this is true also. If you never form a group, it can never be infiltrated by progressive/communists. It is impossible to infiltrate the individual with a brain for liberty. That is why if we want to save individual liberty, we have to make it so all individuals can run and win office based on their merits.

@MrTheHillfolk It is rare today, as an employee that is not union or works a state job, to be able to retire early. It got that way because of the outsourcing to communism/china, starting just over 40 years ago. After 20 different non-union machine shops, (from mom and pop shops to aerospace), and earning 3 college degrees in manufacturing while working---I still found myself just above poverty. So I started a business, and it took off. I still won't retire early, but at least my business is mine, I can make more money than any union worker in the world, and I have no problem with my retirement and my funeral being the same day. There is no "good life" with out work, with out free enterprise where even a "worker" (with a brain) can compete.

I lived in that city for 25 years, and I have attended his town hall meetings during the obama administration. Everybody who stood up a cheered voted for hillary as they invaded this particular town hall, (4 times more people there than any I had attended). I even helped a gal run against him in 2010, (LE Johnson). With all the lawless that did trickle into our communities, including the grand rapids police department, (a personal experience of mine, a one major reason I moved from GR with my business), during the 8 year reign of terror by the obama administration, (why many Americans bought a lot of guns), this POS never said a word---ever. He is a follower of global communism. He is part owner of a tool company in china, and he has been selling out his constituency ever since he gained office. When I told him at one of his meetings, that capitalism belongs to the citizens and not governments, and is not compatible with communism, I got a bigger applause than he did in his entire speech. His answer? Well, maybe we will invent something again. Mr. Amash, people develop new products in the every day, (and I am one of them). The problem is we can't make them here unless you are doing it alone in your one car garage. His tool plant is in china, and this town hall was stacked with progressive fools.
Justin Amash belongs in jail.

They call it "progress", (communism), and it has not only infected the USA with university professors starting in the early 1900's, (the progressive movement), but they came from Germany and Europe. When the only person who mentions "individual liberty" is fauci, (telling us we should not have any, as any commie would say), it does not look good for human liberty right now. The USA was great, because it alowed individuals to be great. It was based on "individual liberty protected by law", and you can bet your sweet bippy that the study of law in our universities was the first target of the communistic progressives. So here we are. To actually spread freedom, we should have been offering our constitution to any citizenry in the world who wanted it,----by free will.

The universe creates complexity, (?), is the same as saying reality, (it is what it is), creates complexity.
What creates complexity are people who want to rule over others, and it is a fake complexity void of reality, (note the complexity, because it is void of reality). You are not a sharp person just because you assume to understand a complex lie that you were taught. Reality is what it is, and up to us to discover. If that is too complex for this guy, than let him live in the dirt, because human advancement comes from figuring out reality.
I am done with this guy at min 2:50.

No study will ever talk me into socialism/communism. I have personal experience with individual liberty and what may be the Lassiez-Faire industry on the planet, (recreational/RC model industry). I became a expert in manufacturing, earned 3 college degrees in manufacturing while working full time, and finally started my own business. I was just modifying small gas engines for racing applications for scooters, then the market changed and RC car companies started making a bigger car with the same engines I was modifying. That was when I was able to quit my job, and do my business full time. For the next three years, I made more money out of my one car garage than any union worker in the world, (and many lawyers too), over 125 grand a year. I think we need to demand our individual liberty back, and our free market back, (from government and their crony business partners), because there is no other system in the world that would allow me to make over 38 grand, (what I last made as a highly skilled, and highly educated employee). I don't even care if you support capitalism after your schooling. If you have not experienced individual liberty and the free market in your hands,----you can not explain it properly, unless your name is Ayn Rand.

In under just 5 generations, (30 years assumed a generation), from 1776 to 1914, free Americans enjoying their free market built this nation so quickly, (from the wilderness), we were, as a brand new nation less than 150 years old, in a position to be able to protect ourselves from any nation in the world who might way to do harm to us. We won WW1, a brand new nation of free men in their market, and it was "exceptional". One of the free men, (not a government employee), was a citizen who may have been the most important reason why we won WW1. That private citizen was John Browning, basically a kid in his garage with a brain in his head, who made the working "machine gun" to help protect the same liberty he had to design and make the gun. The Thompson sub machine gun? The military did not even want that, (so it sold privately, but the mob started using them before they became politicians), or the Tucker 100mph tank for WW2. The government loved the rotating gun turret though that Tucker put on his tank in his barn in Ypsilanti Michigan, and we saw that help us win WW2 on many war craft. That is 100% correct history folks, and is traceable.

But it is biased. Now don't think that is always a bad thing. It is like the word "extremist" is not always a bad thing, because people like Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Ford, Westinghouse, Tesla, Edison, Bell and Tucker, were all extremists too. There is bias with evil as in communism fighting communism, (the world today). But I love the bias between freedom and dictatorships. Time to be biased, and pick a side. Or communism wins.

I know why Sage is so happy all the time. I know exactly why. I have felt it myself, and it is awesome.
As our society falls deeper into government control, it becomes harder to achieve your personal dreams, if we dream at all anymore. Individual achievement is not easy today, (But still can be done if you don't follow others,--but use your own brain to figure things out. You can trust yourself.), and for those who have stopped dreaming/working for their own goals, there will be stories in the media on how you can be happy in our decline. They will tell to do yoga, or paint a picture (and how ugly will that be from a person with no dreams?), or give away something to somebody else,---who you may not even know, just because they dreamed less than you did. Or they may show you how Chinese people try to stay happy living under their brutal dictatorship, and even how eating bugs is actually a delicacy. Hmmmmm---yum yum?
BULL HOCKEY to all, of that!
Sage Northcut is happy all the time, because he has been a "achiever" all of his life.
It is personal achievement, were man and mind became a success---where true happiness is found, and nobody can "talk" it out of you after you earned that happiness.
Sage is actually experiencing a freedom that not many try to earn, and I am damn happy for him also. He is a lesson to learn from IMO, even though he is so young.
That is what our Founding fathers meant when they said "Your right to pursue happiness".
It means your right to achieve your dreams in anything you can think of (as long as you don't step on somebody elses opportunity to compete--by getting unfair and criminal advantages), weather it be in science to sports, -------and not be a slave "for the good of the all".
Nothing great ever came out of that.

I don't think Rhonda has emotionally gotten over her loss to Holly Holm. Judging from her in this vid, I don't think she took the loss as a learning experience, but still sees it as a devastating embarrassment. Both gals, (Ronda and Amanda), have tremendous heart, but it does not seem like Rhonda could take another loss to me.
I think her attitude, that was part of her domination, is now acting like a brick wall in her mind.
She takes her losses too hard, (I can see angry, but emotionally destroyed is another matter), and that makes her, her own competition.

There are some good teachers left, but the amount of work is not the issue. The philosophies/ideologies based on who's interests run the schools, and select the mandatory content, (which is no doubt government agenda driven),---is the issue.
I have a joke that I tell any young couple with young kids in public area's:
"Do you know I consider your child "unlimited potential". I consider every child unlimited potential. Then what do we do?, we send them to public school and destroy all that potential."
I know you are not laughing about that reality joke, because the only parents who don't are teachers.
Like I said, it is not about your effort, but the direction your effort is mandated to go.
You should have seen the last of the pretty good public education when I was 5, and we just put a man on the moon. We were all told to go for our dreams, and many did. Now it is taught that those dreams never existed, and we must work for "the good of the all". If we don't teach how important, and how great the USA was when it was based on "individual liberty", (which is color blind with political will), like no other nation was, than we have no other direction to go, but into communism.
It's always a liberty vs communistic ideology thing.
The schools need to teach our founding of individual liberty (which is the only civil morality) accurately, to give us a choice of our freedom, (because we can think), and the collectivism that is only taught now.
I did a tiny bit of teaching in a industry I work in for a employer, and found out I am pretty good at it. It was in the private manufacturing sector, and I taught a bit of programming to our customers employees, so it was not politically involved at all. It felt great, actually helping these guys learn how to help develop new processes.
I don't think it would feel as good, if I knew I was destroying those employee minds by mandate.
Sorry,---it is a dirty trick they use. You can compete with that!!! :) (and be a hero).

That is a easy question to answer for me. I would have loved to be born during the dawn of the industrial revolution in the USA, (probably Michigan or Indiana--where the auto companies were.---I repeat,--were.)
That was the turning point for mankind IMO, where people had capitalism in their hands, putting science to work to build a business, where individual rights was respected so we could do so, where the factory in a free market got mankind out of poverty,---and for the first and last time in man's history, built a civil and prosperous society.
Now---we enter communism (basically), and you won't be able to do that anymore.
The fact is, it was our parents and grand parents here in the USA,---who had the best lives ever recorded in human history.

Joanna, (the Polish Pulverizer), Jed-Rayz-she-ack!!
I am telling you, (since I am half Polish), My great Grand parents moved to the USA from Poland in the early 1900's, and not one member of my family was ever on the welfare rolls during our working ages.
Pols don't quit, are tough individuals, and do not like being a burden on other people who are trying to make a living.
Yea--I heard all the jokes about Polish people,---but they are great people.
For example, Casimir Polaski, (A Polish soldier who fought communism in Poland and lost) joined George Washington in the battle against the British for our freedom, and I read, even saved Washington's life in a battle. The USA may have never happened (which means we would be living and dying under 100% communism by now.) if it were not for Casimir Polaski.
That---is good people!!!!
I would like to show appreciation to Joanna by pronouncing her last name correctly.
Jed-Rayz-She-Ack.

Is this the 3rd or 4th fight in a row, where Curz is fighting a "Team Alpha Male" teamster?, (counting TJ Dillashaw).
I think Uriah Faber is a good guy, but there ate 2 things I don't like about Team Alpha Male.
1) Dillashaw has the right to fight under what ever camp he wants, as does everybody else. The fact that he took great amounts of grief from brainless people parroting, "He is a snake in the grass", with no "valid reasoning" to say so, is a black eye to the evolution of mankind.
2) The team is stacked with top level 135 and 145 pound guys, and they don't fight each other!! That effectively eliminates some of the major competition with out a fight, so they are all fighting Cruz, (for a example in reality).
When Dillashaw left with the belt, he actually gave everybody on Team Alpha Male a shot at the belt. I don't remember any of them calling him out to get the belt back in the Team Alpha Male camp, but turned to childish defamation instead.

Actually, there are racers in the SX and MX series from all over the world. Well, at least those nations who had enough free enterprise so people could afford a bike.
France, Germany, Australia, have champions on the starting line now, and more who can win a championship. A Japanese guy is super fast, (but hurt now), this year for one example. that I can think of off the top of my head. But many riders from any nation where guys can get enough talent. In fact, the sport of Motocross (MX, where Supercross (SX) evolved from in the USA with stadium racing in 1972.), was brought here in 1968 from Europe. They started racing 'Motocross" in Europe after WW2 and had many manufactures. We had Harley Davidson, and those guys coming home from war started the Hell's Angels instead. But the main reason why the USA did not have more motorcycle's to choose from, is because of the new affordable car, the Ford model T. We did not have the consumer interest as Europe did for Motorcycles, because we could for the first time in man;s history, afford a car. It was a importer named Edison Dye, who brought the Swedish made MX bike "Husqvarna" to the USA in 1968 that started the sport.
By 1981, the American were the best in the world, winning the great annual international race (after our series's are over) now called the "Motocross of Nations" for the next 13 years in a row, (streak ended in 1994). The sport was better back then. It was much more free to grow and prosper,---and it did. The sport is actually about 1/10th the size it was until about 1985 if measured in bike sales. The EPA forced a very expensive 4-stroke engine on the industry, and now the sport is just for people who are making a pretty healthy 6 figure income. I bought my first 3 bikes, in 6 years starting in 76 at the age of 12, making $1.00/hr part time for about $800.00 new.

Bradley Wang "common knowledge" does not make something fact. I think I can figure out facts pretty well, and what I will claim, (think), right now is not common knowledge. It is my reasoning, (which can have errors still, as we figure things out): The term "Woke" was developed by communistic propagandists to compliment progressively educated people, (which are many), that they are now, (already), "Woke",---and have nothing else to learn.
Pretty dirty trick---huh?

Hey,---are you commies counting the market research here in the public comments section (newest first), with nobody believing you?
You planing on killing all of them too? The reason why communism has such a hard time taking over the world is because once people figure out reality, they tend to forget the lies they have been taught. Now, you don't have a choice, you have to kill them all, right? Isn't that how communism works? Too many people on the planet to control?
It is going to be "OUR TURN" soon. We are figuring out how to beat communism. We could not have figured it out with out your force. This will never be over until communism is defeated. I see people figuring it out from all over the world, and they are not going to stay dumb from your education, with a life experience of force after graduation. Unless you destroy the mind of man, (The ability to reason),---you are destined to lose, no matter how much blood you spill.
Why don't you just buy a sheep farm, and mingle with your true intellect?

"Sticks and Stoned can break my Bones, but Words will never harm me." That saying stopped being said 1 or maybe 2 generations ago, (I am 59, and we were taught that as kids). You are right, it did define the point of violence as the initial crime. Words can do two things though. You can let them hurt you, (and beg for a baby sitter), or you can "think" about it. Even mentally, words can never harm you if you are "sure" that you are thinking in reality. You will never break down and cry to what you know is false. You will be able to defend yourself verbally is you know what you are talking about. I find a disturbing pattern in a lot of people today. If I simply disagree with them and I am willing to discuss it rationally, many times their brain overloads, and they have to leave the discussion. That is not "thinking",---and their lives are messed up because of it. Do not replace your thinking with your emotions. Emotions come after "thinking", and it feels good to figure something out.

Did it work for you? My Father was in the top 10 percentile in the 70's, of people who did not get angry when he discovered a child of his is gay. There was never an argument about it in the home EVER , and our father gave us freedom. Yet my gay brother thinks he was traumatized by him anyway. At first, Stephen was all about the philosophies of individual liberty, (not a cult, but real morality). When he became a baby sitter, I raised an eyebrow. When he started talking about intelligence being dictated by race, (eugenics), I started despising him---because that thinking comes from the communism, the opposite of individual liberty.
Do you "feeeeeel" better now? I don't understand you people. As a child,---I never looked for my parents approval. I got advise that I could take or leave which was appreciated, but I never sought their approval in anything I did. I don't know why you need it---for the rest of your life.

Those people are not actually the big problem, but just a result of the problem. The problem we as mankind/citizenry are losing our ability to "reason" to figure out reality.
A fee nation depends on an intelligent citizenry, (and the more advanced a free nation is, the more the citizenry has to be able to think.). A communist nation does not, and can not have a citizenry that can figure out reality. At the same time, we also have a communistic moral issue where many USA citizens believe it is OK to take somebody's property and redistribute it to those who have not earned much,---instead of protecting private property rights.
Well,---I have discovered that reality has a way of kicking our butts when we ignore it or try to make it up. I can tell if a person has a messed up life in one sentence on line, if I see they are not thinking in reality,---with no exceptions. There are no exceptions. If you can't figure out reality, your life will be a mess.

I have some reason to believe there was a "test covid" released in the winter of 17-18, because I cought the worst cold I ever had. Do malnourished my teeth moves, with pneumonia (which I have never had before), of which I cured myself by using gravity, (leaning my upper body over the edge of my bed, and coughing out the fluid in about 15 min. Then I started getting better.), and I have had no more than a tiny bit of a runny nose, (must have been covid?), since. No vaccines, no mask, living my normal life. Give me a shot of covid, and my immune system will kick it's butt! Doug in Michigan.

AI has to be modeled after the human brain, (before public school), how it builds concepts on top of concepts, figuring out the reality of our universe. So what happens if AI is introduced into a human brain. Probably a split personality, both constantly fighting with each other. If one were to die from it, which would it be? Or would it turn people into robots, with no "self". Anyway it goes down, (unless abandoned), I don't see how humanity will survive the interaction, and still be considered human. If no achievement you do, will be your achievement, man will stop achieving. Just some thoughts.

This is the basic way I see it before listening to Mr. Sowell for this vid. When people started trading freely and making money, the beginning of free enterprise, the Jews were good at it, so they were attacked by collectivism. Some joined collectivism, just like some of our best free market hero's of the past did, (Rockefeller, Carnegie, Morgan, Westinghouse, Ford, to today, Gates. for examples). I am not very interested in the Religious aspects, except collectivism sometimes uses it for a moral crutch, like the Pope of today. I believe a proper reformation of the Church would let communism fall of its own weight. A reformation to individual liberty protected by law, and free people creating free enterprise, as the supreme moral way for man to live. We have not needed to hunt in packs since the industrial revolution. We figured it out, and created the USA.

If you noticed, all the hillary voters who attended that Amash town hall, (the only one they attended), would not let her speak. I have been to several Amash town halls, and I can tell you for sure, that town hall had 5 times as many people there. It was packed with hillary voters, and they were denying this ladies right to speak. I agree though, she did not have the comments I had at his town halls, where I got a bigger applause than he did. I have since moved from that dysfunctional progressive city, but I should have made the 2 hour drive to be there. Wanna bet I would not be allowed to speak either at this particular town hall? This town hall is a fraud! All they had to do is look at how many people Amash drew in in the past, and quadrupedal it with hillary supporters to cheer for the sell out, and squash anybody who did not agree with him. That is exactly what you saw. Believe me, you will get the communism you deserve, after President Trump's terms are over, because those people will vote your liberty away, and not "think" anything of it..

You may be burning oil that it is not suppose to burn, (at the same time running a rich fuel/air ratio), or you may be running too cold of a heat range for your spark plugs. If you have the right plugs, you need to lean out the fuel/air ration so it runs hot enough to burn off the deposit on your plugs. All a fouled plug is, is a sort circuit with the voltage going though the wet deposit instead of jumping the gap. You will also get better fuel mileage, more power and probably top RPM, (which we don't hit with Harley's anyway). Even if you are burning oil that you should not be burning, (valve or ring leaks), the proper fuel/air ratio will burn that too, and not foul a plug. Either your plugs are too cold, or your combustion is too cold. If you still get smoke, (other than starting it up), then you are burning oil you should not be buring. I take it you have a carburetor on that bike,---because Fuel injection runs super lean---with white plugs. If you jet your carb,---just go lean enough to make your plug dry, and a light paper brown bag color on the porcelain. If your plugs, (the right heat range mind you, and use the inexpensive NGK plugs), get grey or white---you are going too lean. I learned on dirt bikes. I don't know your bike. But you can buy a "shop manual", (not just the owners manual), from a dealership. That is the book the mechanics use in the back room. Should have all the information you need,---but some drunk guy wrote mine. :)

You make a valid point. It took both parties following poor philosophies that is dragging our nation into poverty and incivility. They are very tricky, and psychological masters of civil destruction, and we are not educated well enough to go think deeper than the surface. Here is an example, "Diversity". There is everything right about diversity of race, (that is just the surface), and the USA has been diversified in race since the beginning. But diversity of ideology is the depth we don't see, and that has caused the most bloody wars mankind has ever endured. It is only the ideologies of individual liberty protected by law, (as the USA was founded), that allowed diversity of race, and different religion, to live side by side in relative harmony. I have been studying this stuff for a long time.

Natural law did not come from God. If you believe that you will never get anybody outside of your church to agree, (very divisive).
Our rights did not come from God either, and is very divisive to say so, (which is why it is said).
What God did give us was a brain that can reason, (if practiced), to figure out reality, and we figured out the natural law of man, based on the brain of the individual, to be free to think and achieve,---and we formed the USA based on individual liberty protected by law and free people creating their free enterprise system.
I stopped listening to this guy several years ago. I thought he was sharp at one time, but he is "just another one.". He has no problem mixing our free enterprise with communism either, and we have lost that compromise, like we always do against evil.

Paul Watson? Oh yea, that guy. Yeeeeaa, I remember him on YT over a decade back. He was one of those "Pot Stirrers" too. What? Did he what? Oh noooo, he never had any answers. Nobody we listened to really had any answers back then, and now, well, now we can't ask any questions. He just "stirred the pot" like the rest,-----------------------------------and this hole we live in now is what we got. What? What happened to who? Yea, I do wonder what that kid Watson is doing now? We haven't heard a peep from him in over a decade ago, I think, like most of them pot stirrers. What? What was that? Oh yea, "those were the good old days too". I guess so. Doug in Michigan.

Demand your "individual liberty" (protected by law)! Demand our "free market", and we will, as citizens, do business together and become friends. That is the core philosophy that started the USA,(Individual liberty and the citizenry owning the free market,--it comes from our minds,--everything, lasted about 100 years in a almost pure form), and it is the only philosophy that creates civility to each other, (we trade money instead of blood), and prosperity. We are not farm animals! Individual liberty with the human ability to think and achieve, in a moral society that allows man to be free to think and achieve,---is our nature. Nothing else can do what we can do. Individual liberty my Indian Brother,---lets do good business. :)

Plato was a inferior. Have you ever wondered why your philosophy course(s) never taught you the difference between the philosophies of individual liberty vs a dictatorship? Nope, they taught us about a bunch of lunatics, (Sans Aristotle, who was not taught properly), who would have been institutionalized after the age of reason for being insane? Yep, we had no idea why we got a good grade in that class of mixed up garbage, were glad it was over, and to never think about it again. That is because Policy comes from Principles, and Principles comes from Philosophy. How we live depends on the philosophies we choose,---and communism does not leave us a choice. We don't even understand our choice of individual liberty protected by law with free people creating free enterprise, but the USA allowed man to be great under those philosophies and it formed civility and prosperity, by protecting the individual instead of favoring a group. Plato saw a perfect chair, (for example of what man has built), in a "forum" in space, and my instructor kept asking the question all semester, "Does a table have a soul?"
Good thing I got into engineering, because that is the study of reality, and it helped me a lot. :)

It is hard to make a good life for your self after we gave our free enterprise to communism in china and dumbed down our education.
Of course, if we have no dreams to chase of our own,---we may fall into drugs/drink. I did not watch the vid, but is he actually being productive with his own brain now,---or is he going to "serve the community", sacrificing his brain/potential life,----for the good of the all?
I am pretty glad people like Westinghouse, Tesla, Ford, Edison, (just for a few example of what we can do),----------did not aspire to be social workers of our pitifully praised "progress".

What about the kids potential in a free society? I have an older brother, now almost 60 with a 145 IQ. At the age of 7, like Bill Gates, (who my brother ended up working for), he read an entire encyclopedia collection from A-Z. He had a great thirst for knowledge as a child, skipped 2nd grade, graduated HS with top honors and "Summa Cum Laude" from Michigan State, and started working for Gates in 84-85. But he discovered he was gay in HS, and instead of becoming a hero, and actually compete with gates, he wasted all that brain power becoming a gay activist, shrink after shrink, and got let go from Microsoft, (too emotionally hurt after he broke up with a boyfriend, and pretty much quit).
My brother let all of his potential be destroyed by a progressive movement. How many people did gates employ? All that opportunity for others gone too.

I am the other way around. I thrive on expressing my thoughts, ideas and conclusions. What the vid did not mention was "premise". If you notice, those "targeting questions" are almost always based on a false premise. If you try to answer that question, you are only supporting the false premise. So you have to expose that the question is based on a false premise, (with reason/reality), and that will make the question invalid for anybody who has interest in reality. The problem come across, is people who have no interest in reality, but just how they feel. You can show that person a fact that does not fit their perception, and instead of accepting the fact by adjusting their perception to accept the fact, thus thinking closer to reality,---they reject the fact because to accept it would mean they change a good portion of their perception. That is why so many people do not thin in reality. They reject it. Not good for a good future at all.

It does sound crazy, to people who are dependent on the state usually. But if you chased your American free market dream, especially in manufacturing, you probably started seeing the "steps" in the early 80's, when my production opportunity was shipped to communism in china. I remember the 2nd machine shop job I had in 1987, and the CNC department head asked 23 year old me, "What do you hope to do in manufacturing?" I said "I hope to make a good living." His reply, "Good luck, the rules have changed.". I struggled from that point on, even earning 2 engineering degrees and still just above poverty (delayed an family that never happened also), until I started my own business where a bit of free enterprise is left,---a recreation industry. Those were left to us for something to play with.
I have seen and experienced it for my entire adult life. We live under a dictatorship today.

A bigger disk diameter for more powerful braking is not really about more surface contact, but the pad contact being further from the center of the hub, so it is a longer lever, and does greatly increase stopping power,---if the tires hold the road surface. The flip side is heat. More surface speed is had by the bigger disk, (more distance around the circle for the same rpm.), so it will generate more heat. All coefficients of friction being the same, the amount of heat developed, (before dissipation), shows the braking power nicely. But the friction of the tire on the ground has to be more than the braking so the tire does not lock up. So wider tires are used for applications of aggressive braking, (racing).
From different road surface condition, (from ice to dry clean pavement), different tires and different braking systems, to say the tires are the difference and not the brakes for distance is a bad statement. I am sure many car tests were dine with similar car weight, the same tires, and different performing brakes, (the only factor of difference), and if all the tires don't skid 100% of the time when braking, you will have different stopping distances.

I will bet you money that in that older car, the catalytic converters are further away from the exhaust valves than in newer cars, (which are now as close as possible.). I suspect that the 2010 Lexus was made with good quality, but I know the cats are restrictive, and being so close drastically raises engine temps. I also know the EPA can care less how long your internal combustion engine lasts, and does not want it to last 300,000 miles. I build race engines for a living, and I know, on my dyno, that if I restrict he exhaust just a bit, engine temps go flying up, especially at higher rpm's.

You have to swerve for them, unless you don't mind extra car repair bills. I remember a road near me in Grand Rapids Michigan that got so bad, people were slowing down to 5 or less mph and dodging the biggest ones. The plastic wheel cladding's, (glued on a steel wheel to make it look like an alloy wheel basically and very popular), were coming off peoples wheels in that short off road section, and a local guy hung them up in a tree next to the bead road, like ornaments on a Christmas tree, (That picture made the local paper). The people working for the city, with city cars and trucks, (paid for by the tax payer), were just hammering though that section at 25mph.
So they don't understand why you have to dodge potholes.

You are not paying attention. They were attacked because they are Trump supporters. Race really has nothing to do with it, (or gender). Those are communistic tools of distraction. The fight in all of Western Culture (especially ion the USA), today, is the fight of communism vs individual liberty protected by law. Individual liberty is about the human brain (its potential to think and achieve. Enter citizen owned free enterprise to think about), not gender or race. The quicker we can recognize and embrace individual liberty protected by law, the quicker we can reject communism, and their tools of "primitive tribal group warfare",--and be civil again. I know you are thinking of slavery and the Indians of the USA. Yes, they were infractions against individual liberty too. But it was the philosophy of individual liberty that freed the black slaves in the USA in 1863. There are no "group rights". They do not exist. The only rights for a citizenry that ever existed is individual liberty protected by law, (which progressive law is not protecting well). We will find, if we keep going the direction we have for decades, that when individual liberty is gone, we will have no rights at all. Doug in Michigan

If I found a reservation with about 300 people in it, living off the land, never knowing any other kind of opportunity, like farming and hunting, no free enterprise (never took, (when offered) government welfare at the expense of others. Good, honest, virtuous hard working and life loving people, and dropped a Compound Bow (hunting equipment) factory, (with needed education, like math.), that needs 300 employees, (and training/school from the floor production, through engineering/sales, to executive level with advancements for those interested, and you may become my competition some day. I am good with that.). If the job paid better than your farming, would you take that job before the promised poverty of government handouts?
I just explained how the USA became so prosperous. Before the industrial revolution, over 90% of us were poor farmers. What we did have was individual liberty protected by law, and free people creating free enterprise. That,---is what got mankind off the reservation. And after we built it,---both have been stolen from us.
We were not called the land of opportunity by people from all over the world because you can grow a few more potatoes each year. Now you know why-----we don't know math anymore. Man,----we are all back on the government reservation. I say we can do better, and I know that is true because we already did it.

The 1st communistic propaganda in the film at min 2:45: "Everything is always evolving, (by what means?), so you can't be afraid of CHANGE. And then you are going to change, always have, always will, (still no defining the means or premise of change).
Notice, they never define the components that create change. Are the components such as they were in the past USA, when the most advancements were made, when the people competing in the industry competed freely, and gladly accepting change that made them more productive and improve quality with those new advancements that we created with the more free industrial resolution? Or is this undefined CHANGE forced by dysfunctional government rule over our lives? It depends on if we accept the communistic rule over our lives,---like this man did? Which is the reason why our industries in demand, are failing. This man accepted government force over our lives. And I did not expect anything different form the media today. Just 3 min in the vid. I will let you find the rest of the propaganda. You need the practice, or we lose everything we built as a more free people to these dysfunctional dictators. I just took the "candy coating", (and this meaningless guys quote) off the subject, that's all.

Mr. Woods, talking of Ron Paul, when he went to Florida to speak about us needing to open trace with Cuba. I don't understand why we think lassiez-faire free market is compatible with communism. I look at the free market correctly, that it is part of our individual liberty, our opportunity, and the only way a individual can chase any dream of producing something that did not exist before, raising the standard of living like we have proven over 100 years ago.
Opening trade with communist nations is orchestrated by governments, not by citizens. As we have seen in the last 35 years with China, one of the business partners in the deal loses, and that would be the nation based more on individual liberty. Proper capitalism is not compatible with communism, just like islam is compatible with anything else. Now if a communist nation will grant their citizens individual liberty, we can do business together as citizens, and become friends making money together. But other than that, with doing business with communist nations, we have seen nothing but international redistribution and more government interventions in our business, dissolving our liberty even more.

I can see his honor, (if he knew he did not have a concussion, or I would see his stupidity), but it would not be stealing. He would have beaten Jones fair and square.
In reality, he gave up the belt any everything that goes with it. Honorable, maybe. Stupid, maybe. He earned a shot at the belt and Jones made yet another illegal mistake, (hehe), I think I am going with more stupid than honorable. Wanna bet if it happened to him again, challenging for the belt, he would not give it up again?

@spencer2112 What would you call a communist who said 5 days before he was selected, "In 5 days, we are going to change the fundamentals of the USA!"
That means, (because I know you are not sharp enough to know what that means, so sue your school), that they are going to destroy your individual liberty and your free enterprise system,--and change to what? You never asked, because you are stupid. Change to government control of your life. Obama is just to stupid to understand that communism has no intention of letting islam rule the world after Western Culture is destroyed.
A communist is a sub human mongrel, and they have all skin colors, because the skin color does not dictate the thoughts of the mind. Propaganda does that. That is why you and everybody you know, are stupid.

He was picked to side with communism, and denounce individual liberty, (which the Church really never supported),---and I don't see any of God's teachers rejecting that. When/if the Church does recognize individual liberty, like the USA was first founded, then we will see communism crumble, (as it will no longer have a morality to use as a crutch), and the Churches would grow greatly,---including my fanny in a Pew. My view? The Church has to go through one more reformation, embracing individual liberty, (because we do have individual brains that can figure out reality if practiced,--as God must have intended), and rejecting collectivism/communism, (because we are not farm animals). If the Church would do that, well, I can't think of a more effective way to set man free,--to think, achieve, prosper,--and be civil.

When I was younger and dumb, (and broke even with good skill and working on engineering degrees, (and could not find a job in it, still broke),---I paid for 2 abortions a few years apart. The worst thing I ever did, and U am so sorry I was not responsible for myself.
"When I was younger and got pregnant...my job as the mother of the living child inside me was to protect the child and do things to aid in that child's HEALTHY birth. That's Healthcare." That was a beautiful statement. Here is a good one for you and anybody else. Pertaining to all the things politicians say "we have a right to", I say, we do not have a right to anything just because somebody else produced it. We can buy it, or compete with it, (with free enterprise), but we don't have a right to anything just because somebody produced it.

"Systemic racism" does not mean the American people, (we are not part of this system and have no power in it anymore). It means our "progressive occupied" government system. Our original founding was based on the philosophies of individual liberty, with freed black people naming their own families after the names of the men who implemented "individual liberty" to form the USA, ("Washington, Jefferson, Franklin"), that set them free. NO OTHER PHILOSOPHY EVER LIBERATED ANYBODY, and I never met a black man named Lincoln. The systematic racism comes from the progressive/communistic movement in the USA, and implemented things like "affirmative action", that assumes the mind of a black man is not as capable as the mind of a white man, (That is systemic racism, the most dangerous kind of racism. The systemic racism of margret sanger, implemented in governments.). But we know we are all individuals with our own brain. Morons and geniuses have come from every race, and that "The color of the skin does not dictate the thoughts of the mind", (my quote). Propaganda like this does that, or tries to. How about we respect each other as individuals with a brain, (that does not include criminals,---of any race), and demand our individual liberty back?

For the very first statement of Mr. Sowell, (to second 35), on this vid, (which I am sure he mimics as a poor view point of which I agree), is probably statistically correct for a snapshot in time. But it does not address what the progressive movement did to make some people think that way, (group think in a land of individual liberty), and what the racist progressive movement did to our Black American neighbors, especially since the 60's. Yes, we have all been sabotaged by the communistic progressive movement with out exception, but it attacked our Black American neighbors the most,----so far. I would run for public office with that claim. Easy to show the activity and the results. "It's our turn"

Nope, they were right, but no real explanation was shown to us from them. Here it is. Because the contestant was offered a second choice with only 2 doors left, the probability becomes 50%, just like flipping a coin. If the contestant was not offered a chance to change his/her choice with 2 doors left., then the odds of picking the right door would still be 33%, as the choice was made with 3 doors. The elimination of a door did not change that probability when the choice was made. Pick one of three, and that is 33% chance, even after elimination of a door. But give the person another pic with 2 doors left, and it turns to 50%. It was a long time ago, I aced my 3 stats classes in my engineering courses. The correct answer is: There was a 33% chance with one choice and 3 doors, and a 50% chance when offered a now choice with only 2 doors. that would mean it would not make a difference in probability, which door was picked with 2 left. The trick here is, 2 chances were given with 2 different populations. They are actually 2 different things, not related to each other, because a second choice was offered for a smaller population. If we had stats classes in HS, there would be a lot of crap we now believe, that we can easily prove wrong. Good professors love to show why, this vid left that out.

The only information I know about George Patton is the movie I have called "Patton". But hollywood became more communistic in the 50's, and of course, that is seen in the movie, if you understand the premise of political things said. In a speech at the very beginning of the movie, with the big American flag on the wall behind him, talking about war, in national defense, he said "Individualism is a bunch of bull crap!". That may be true when it comes to commanding an army, but what did the movie writers think we were fighting for?
I don't know if the actual George Patton knew what he was suppose to be fighting for or not, but I don't think we have fought in self defense, for individualism ever since.

You sir, get it! How we live our lives does depend on what philosophies we follow, and the citizenry for the vast majority part, does not understand this very valid and crucial point. It is people like you and I who need to get our butts on the campaign trails, excite the public with what we figured out, and get more of us to fill positions.
I am ready to get in the game, and we have nothing to lose/everything to gain. I am finished with the progressive sabotage on our citizenry, catering to china communism, and we can explain it well IMO. If we can propagate the ideas of our own liberty/free enterprise around the world, we don't even have to win office. Either way, we will get exactly what we deserve, and it all depends on how the citizenry thinks, (until communism is full blown, where we won't have a choice.).

USA economic history in a nut shell: We started out almost Laissez-faire. It lasted about 100 years. As soon as we, with our individual liberty, built this place with our brains, creating the free enterprise system that is the world champion for getting people out of poverty,- it started being taken away from us in the first 2 decades of the 1900's, (when the anti-free enterprise progressive movement started in the USA, taught in our universities, and invaded our study of law first), and our individual liberty and the free enterprise system that we built as free people, started being stolen from us, and we let it happen. Later, (entering my lifetime, starting the day after JFK was buried) we campaigned against communist Russia and Cuba, but we always nurtured china communism since their civil war.
Our individual liberty, (the real rights of man), and the free enterprise system that WE INVENTED, has almost all been handed over to communist china over the last 2 generations.
Here we are, communism in our face. Is it a surprise?
Our free enterprise system came from the philosophies of individual liberty, because individuals have a mind that can reason, (if practiced). Communism does not recognize the individual rights of man, and therefore, the two philosophies, (systems), can not co-exist trying to do business with each other. The 2 philosophies are not compatible.
Is there an economist alive who understands that? Is there a politician alive who understand that. Is there a teacher/professor alive who understands that?

@montywilt I have some data that supports your hypothesis. Me: My last GF, who kept our place spotless as an obsession, left me 20 years ago as I started a business from my garage. So I live in the garage doing my business, and let my house get a bit dirty. I am not taking about food laying around or any kind of hoarding, just not dusting/sweeping and the such much. It is amazing how clean the house stays actually, when you pretty much live in the garage, and just tidy up after yourself. :) 15 years, I have not been sick, until I moved to a new place that was of course, spotless clean. I doubt it was a factor though. I caught the worst flu bug in my life in the winter of 2017-18 in rural Michigan, and I now have reason to believe it may have been a earlier released "test virus" of covid. I was so malnourished, my teeth moved. I had pneumonia for the first time and could not get enough air to sleep one nigh at the height of that illness, so I leaned my upper body over the edge of my bed, (gravity assisted), and spit 80% of it out on 20 min,--then got better quickly. I bet I can take a shot of straight covid now,--and would not get sick. When/if they release a very deadly virus, there may not be many left to get news updats 3 years later.

@Chopstorm. "The founding fathers also knew about repeating firearms with "large" magazines." OK, I see your argument I think. Guns have advanced since our founding, and the 2nd amendment is out of date, (like the rest of the constitution, is said/taught.). Now for one thing, we should be careful where that idea comes from, (the premise of idea's), and know that every dictatorship in the world agrees with you, and I don't think you or I want to go there. So we must be careful about what we repeat. For another thing, it is not the guns capability that is out there today, (no fully auto guns are allowed anymore with out special licensing called "class 3", and is tough to get and keep.). It is our declining civility, because we are following a very poor philosophy (taught today) called the progressive movement,---where good values that create a civil society are diminished over time to destruction. Since the 60's mostly on the streets.

By the way, to help the USA war effort for WW2, a private guy named Tucker, (congress later destroyed the great car he built), built a fast armored tank in his garage to help the war effort. He offered it to the government. It was about the size of a SUV, armored, bullet proof tires/wheels, (no normal tank "tracks"), was armed with 50 cal. machine guns on a button push rotating turret, air conditioned, and it went 100MPH. Patton would have loved a few fleets, and the war would have ended sooner if he were also left in command. The government turned down the tank because it was too fast, (to the win?), but took the rotating turret idea that was often used on many craft. He built it out of his garage/shop in Ypsilanti Michigan. We built the military in the past.

Preston Tucker, who tried to make an automobile, offering tons of opportunity for anybody who would have worked for him, but destroyed by congress, mad a 100mph wheeled tank in his garage to help the WW2 war effort. It was rejected by the Pentagon because it was too fast, (but Patton would have loved a few fleets, as tanks had a 35mph speed limit.). But the government did take his patent on the 360 degree rotating gun turret that we have seen on may military craft. Japan was given 800 billion to rebuild, and Honda was allowed to build a manufacturing dynasty in Japan. I think we really lost WW2, if we were fighting for our liberty and free enterprise, like we were suppose to be doing. When Tucker lost his right to compete in free enterprise with the auto industry,---we all lost that right.

Progressives, (communism), always tell us how our Republic is being destroyed, (that we can see), as it is being destroyed as a form of conditioning. What they are saying is "Get used to the new normal." Notice they never have defined solutions based on the principles that the USA was founded upon because they have rejected those principles long ago. As he cries out "We don't get any support", what he means is welfare, more redistribution, from the rest of the nation,--or NY will be destroyed. Well I ask you. If we know that policy comes from principles, and principles comes from philosophy. And we know the clash of philosophy between "individual liberty protected by law with free enterprise as the right of the citizenry" vs the collectivism he begs for,-----how do we want to live our lives? It is a personal question that a community can not and will not correctly answer through the mouths of our elected progressives. We still have a choice. How do we want to live our lives?

I don't understand why some people are, (or seem to be), afraid of their own freedom, their own minds in a free society that they can grow in any direction they want as we learn. Sure, we grow up in a world that can be scary to understand, but I never once gave up my freedom to figure it out; to figure out reality. I can't imagine such a persons life, clinging to anybodies ideas with seemingly no thought of their own. I can understand how people got that way, but I don't understand why they stay that way, (like a inexperienced child with perpetual fear),---because we can figure it out, and we have. Just my 20 bucks. Doug in Michigan.

Affirmative action lowered the standards for everybody, and now, nobody understands the trick that it is, not even the courts. "It is a policy that claims, by its own premise, that minorities are not as intelligent as white people", (which is racist in itself as a policy), and that is not true. Minorities should be insulted, but nobody sees this correctly. Those ideas come from the likes of margret sanger, hitler and communism as a whole. So this tool was used to lower the standards of everybody, (how is your math?). Neither the color of the skin, or the type of genitals, has anything to do with the thoughts of the mind. Your mind is like your body. The more we exercise it, the better it gets also, (I learned that myself after almost flunking HS and doing much better in college,---much much better). It is an evil trick, based on a false premise, that is designed to lower the thinking of the entire citizenry,---------------------------------------------and it worked!!!!!!!! Doug in Michigan

I like Faber. I was not happy about how he dealt with Dillashaw switching camps, and then I realized, "Hey, Uriah and his team do not fight each other, and that eliminates competition for him and his team mates, (most 135/145 in the camp).", and I am against that also. But the guy has talent that I like to watch, and is always a fight I want to see. Plus other than team tactics, (that eliminate his competition for him and his teammates). I think he has a great personality.
Dillashaw was "Noble" for leaving the Faber camp with the belt (thus also allowing the Faber camp to fight for the belt, (when TJ held it); can't do that if you don't fight your camp), as he can now fight anybody. It was a Noble move, not a snake in the grass move.
Dominick will also fight anybody in the division, with no teammate favoritism.
I can understand not wanting to fight your friends in the camp, but eliminating your competition by becoming team mates with them is not conducive to the sport.
Even though that is what I know is true, I want to see a Faber make a come back.

I just started watching UFC about a year before UFC fired him, (and I still don't know why). He had his personal problems I guess, but he started pure, and sure seems like a reasonable and good man today, with good values, (which are fading). He did not even swear. I loved watching him fight. He had an answer for everything, and I never saw him flounder. A model of precision, creativeness, effectiveness, and efficiency could only come from a life time of dedication, (or a good chunk of your life), and all I have heard was he got fired because of a Tweet? If that is true, what a shame such a little thing can take down such a big man of achievement. Obviously, he did not stay down for long. A good man.

Amanda out strikes Ronda, but fails to keep her distance as well as the bigger, and excellent striker Holly did. Amanda gets thrown from a clinch, and gets arm-barred.
Amanda does not tap, and Ronda breaks her elbow. The Doctor ends the fight, Ronda wins.
Ronda defends her title 2 more times, (Cyborg and Holm again) and retires a winner. She goes on to study Science, and develops a green energy that can run factories for free, saving mankind from poverty.
Amanda's government throws her in jail for losing, and we never see her again.
If my prediction turns out to be wrong, just remember, predictions are hard with competition, and that is why we compete,---to find out.

Free trade and communism---is where I disagree with him.
If this nation was based on individual liberty (and it was), and the citizens started a free enterprise system as part of our individual liberty, (and they did), how can it be possible that communism and capitalism are compatible, when china does not recognize individual liberty at all? There can be no individual liberty with out a citizen owned free enterprise system, and there can be no free enterprise system with out individual liberty protected by law. If you have no right to use your brain and compete in a free enterprise system, (how we created all businesses and all industries), than you have no right to be anything more than a "worker" or slave to a government run economic system.
Bottom line IMO is, we can't do business with communist nations, so if they produce product to sell, cheaper because of slave labor, we have to tariff them. But it is best that we do not do business with them at all, until they recognize their own citizens individual liberty and free enterprise as part of that individual liberty.
That is the only way to lose all tariffs, and not lose your production.
There is no such thing as "free trade" with communist nations. It is actually international redistribution of production, and wealth earned from a citizenry to the government(s).
There is no "free trade" in communism,---only forced labor and materialistic wages with no opportunity, not only for the people who are not working, but no opportunity for people who are working.
Doing business with communist nations (which can only be done through government agreements--leading to international redistribution), is like having a Christmas party and inviting isis. It's just is not compatible. It is no more compatible then the philosophies of individualism vs collectivism,---100% incompatible.

I don't see it you you petty jealous----folks.
I don't like to demonize people because they have money, but it does depend on how they make it, not spend it.
How did these kids parents make all this money? Well, it was at your expense you see. China did not make product to sell in a free market way at all, but a hybrid/perverted of government running business--and getting huge cuts to build their Military and breed kids who reap the benefits.
The kids are nothing but a by-product, kids of communist leaders who are stealing our capitalism from us---with our own government help.
You see, capitalism is suppose to belong to us citizens, so we can chase our dreams. We also have to have "individual rights protected by law" so we don't kill each other for a buck.
But with communism, only people in high government places get the money, and their business partners---just like the USA today (will get worse if you don't vote for Trump). Communism does not allow individual rights, or citizen owned capitalism like we used to have (before your professor was born).
China made a decision to give "semi private" (which is bad) business a try in 1978, but they had no intention of allowing the citizenry to gain wealth (we are going in that direction also), and they don't recognize individual rights what so ever.
When you understand capitalism is suppose to belong to the citizenry, and you have to have individual rights protected by law to enjoy it,---you can clearly see that communism (the opposite of individual rights and citizen owned capitalism) is not compatible with our capitalism, and that is why the USA is in a 3 decade economic decline. Doing business with china is simply international redistribution---set up by our governments,---so don't get mad at the kids,--they had nothing to do with it.
Now if you note---even the dictator of china is going to crack down on the kids. Dictators don't want a citizenry to gain wealth.
So when you say "I hate these snot nosed kids, they did not earn it!",--the dictator says "yea baby--I got these guys on my side----Poverty for everybody!!!"

That is not what I see. I have never heard of some of these non-USA cities, and I think this guy does good vids. But I see 2 things that may be a factor if you see bias, (and are willing to waste your energy on it).
1) The guy who made the vid is probably a citizen of the USA.
2) The USA probably has more cities than any other nation in the world.
I think the guy did a great job, showing us what size city we could fit in given the density of both USA and non-USA cities. Myself, I am one of the 49.5% of the population that prefers a rural area., where there is more freedom usually, and most people being more self reliant.
To hate the way the USA was founded, (which is based on our "individual liberty" as individual people, color blind and no favoritism), than you sabotage your own freedom also. There is terrible information out there about the USA, but I experienced the ideologies of our founding, and boy is it great. To come from nothing, play too much as a kid and young adult (when job gave you disposable income, 70's/80's the last of it), and still learn enough to start your own business, and end up making more money out of a one car garage than any union worker in the world,---and not have to wake up to a alarm clock or punch in and became a robot yes man, but choose your own direction while becoming debt free
I don't mean to accuse you directly as a USA hater (individual liberty, in the proper context), but I am just sick of every dictatorship saying the USA is bad.

I can see that prediction, and raise it to a fantasy.
1st though, I have to say you may be right about the 1st rd KO, because neither of these gals are going to back down, or run away, (like a little girl), like McGregor did with Diaz.
But your second point about distance and throws, IMO, is a bit more valid, because I don't' think she can distance as much as Holm could. Holm had a reach advantage, with excellent striking talent from all four limbs, and used it perfectly. Amanda is more confident than Holly with the ground game, and may not worry about it, and be more willing to go there.
I say Ronda throws here from a clinch and arm-bars Amanda. But Amanda does not tap, and Ronda breaks her elbow. The Doctor ends the fight, and Ronda wins.
Ronda defends her title 2 more times, (Cyborg and Holm again) and retires. She goes on to study Science, and develops a green energy that runs factories for free, and saves mankind from poverty.
Amanda's government throws her in prison for losing, and we never hear of her again. Not even Ariel Haweenee could get an interview with her to ask her, "How does it feeeeeeeeeel to be in prison for losing.?".

Just catching this segment:
@ min 40, I have to disagree about trade deals and tariffs.
I believe the fact is, communism and capitalism are not compatible, because communism does not recognize individual liberty. We were forced by government(s) to do business with china, for example, who decided to give "semi private business" a try in 1978. As soon as production started moving to communist nations in the 80's--we started losing our butts. I lived through the entire era in the manufacturing sector, and never made enough money (with 3 degrees also) to be comfortable, until I started a little business and it took off. I have never been able to sell my work in china, so if we tariff them--what products of ours will they not buy, since they don't buy any now? Trump is not talking about tariffs for nations of Europe, but for only communist nations who's government's has taken control of all production.
The USA, before 1978 did recognize that we should not do business with communist nations, because we understood that communism and capitalism are not compatible. If we don't tariff their products, an give the money to our manufacturing sector, than we should not be doing business with china until the recognize individual rights.
Income is way down in the USA now, and we have about 100 million out of work. (those are the actual results of our policy today)
Only if trade nations all recognize individual rights, will there be no tariffs, and nobody looses their butt. Most of our production (in Europe and the USA) would not have happened, the industrial revolution would not have happened, if it were not for us living under a philosophy that respected individual liberty.
Capitalism and communism are not compatible, and doing business with communist nations only destroys our capitalism.

+Engineering Explained
For a very stiff spring, yes, but what about a very soft spring?
Now the spring is under control of the dampening (compression and rebound dampening), to help the tire follow the road. But, for a hypothetical example, if the spring rate is soft (or not hard enough to rebound quickly), over stutter bumps, the shock could actually "pack" up into it's travel, because the next bump and next bump and the next bump compressed the shock more, and more, and more, until the spring rate is in a stiffer range of motion or the suspension bottoms out. When that happens, it could act a lot like a overly stiff spring, forcing the chassis upwards.
Selecting the correct spring rate for your application is probably more important than getting the dampening dialed in, but they have to work together, and it is usually futile to try to tinker with dampening if you have the wrong spring rate.
I learned something during the dirt bike suspension evolution from about 3" of travel to about 12" of travel. It was not always the longer travel that made a suspension perform better, but how well the spring and dampening handle the travel you have.

If your old and educated enough to remember what a real hero is, you can see that there is no hero in this movie. A real hero is somebody, even larger than life, that we look up to all the time, someone who, against all odds, will always do the moral thing. These mutant characters are a bit on the dark side. What does that give you to look up to? Being bad part time, is still not good.
I remember cartoons when I was a kid, where the real hero was fighting people, (like george soros), trying cause chaos to try to take over the world. Now, they put on dark costumes and fight each other.
With no real hero's to look up too, isn't our society fighting each other also?
The romantic era of art is gone, and the results are not anything hero like.

Mr. Din Thomas man:
You are not a oppressed person, (don't fall for that crap), any more than a white man who never saw a demolition derby. Your skin color has nothing to do with you never seeing a demolition derby before, (or becoming a brain surgeon, like Ben Carson, or supreme court Justice like Honorable Clarence Thomas--hmm--same last name even). Was there some new law just passed that allowed you to see this one? Dana should have built you a car for it also, (it's great therapy for oppressed people ya know). And back home, all you need is ownership or permission on some private land and some junk cars. I have never done one myself, (and you have seen just as many as I have), but it looks like a blast.
I have never ran with the bulls, gone skydiving, became a Doctor, flown a jet plane, invented something great, became a millionaire,----but other people from every race here in the USA has.
You do what you do, and what you do it totally up to you. That is what individual liberty is all about. You fight and are good at it. Just keep it in the cage please. Our neighbors never oppressed us in a free society with individual liberty protected by law (which is color and gender blond, if followed). Only government can do that in such a society, which is an infringement of our "individual liberty". You and Dana are friends, because of individual liberty protected by law. Pass it around. :)

I think it's amazing how they all justify running in this sport. No, they don't call it "running", they call it "resetting". But it looks exactly like running, and effectively, running away is just like calling a "time out" for yourself. ("Time out" is called in sports to "reset", isn't it?)
Well, running is running. From the playground in elementary school, all the way to fighting any battle in war,---running away means you lost the battle. IN ANY FORM OF COMBAT, ANY TIME IN MANKINDS HISTORY---RUNNING AWAY MEANS YOU LOST THE FIGHT!!!! In fact, that is a fact in anything you do. Running away means you lost, unless it is a "running event". Now, you can win a UFC fight if you run away. Nate got robbed, and that is what should prompt a new rule.
So since you all think running is a smart tactic in UFC, I hope to see much more of this outstanding technique in the octagon for every fight. I want running to be as well used as striking or more. I want to see fighters come in the octagon with their running shoes on. They can run from each other with their hands on their hips, (yea--"resetting") enough to make it look like a square dance. Is that justifiable to you?

Brock Lesnar is worried about the USA's and the world's future. He even moved to Canada, probably because he thinks crap will hit the fan here in then USA, and he may be correct. This is communism (collectivism) we are dealing with, and man should live under the opposite philosophies of "individual liberty", (as the USA was founded, not now run), because we are all individuals with a brain.
He says we all need to unite, no matter what nationality. But how do we do that if we are all different?
The answer is a addition to what Brock said, "We have to all unite, no matter what nationality,---by telling the globalists that we unite for our own individual liberty."
What else is possible for different people to unite to?

So when it comes to the 2 major principles that formed the USA, and formed civility and prosperity never seen before the USA, (including different churches living side by side in relative harmony for the first time.), where do you mention "individual liberty protected by law", and your right to use your brain of freedom to form the free market, (trading money instead of blood for the first time also. Yes, free people created the free market, and God was proud of mankind for the first time also, because we finally used the "individual reasoning" that God gave us.). I don't care if two people were taught to hate each other. If we can do "good business" together, we become more prosperous, (by adding value, not stealing from anybody), and we become FRIENDS. Where do you mention that? All I see is primitive tribal warfare and a communist pope.

Pro cyclists are endurance animals. It takes years to get to their fitness level, "bonking", (almost dead from exhaustion), once in a wile along the way. I quit racing Motocross as I got older, when Mt. Bikes blew up the market in the mid 90's and I got into that exciting new industry, (I got the carbon fiber center hubs to stop breaking at Nuke Proof Industries, when they were in Michigan USA). I got pretty fast one year, (and still smoking by the way, which dropped a lot of faces I beat on the trail, back at the parking lot.). Then I thought I was in great shape to race another MX race,---and I wasn't. The arms don't get much of a workout on a bicycle in comparison. But, there was nothing like being in good shape, and cranking the big ring up the hills at Yankee Springs Michigan.

To add to your thoughts, there are probably 100 million adults in the USA who took one easy and fast, (but good), hunter safety class from the DNR, (we did not even shoot a gun in 1976), and hunted in the woods alone or with friends at the age of 12. One class, 100 million people. I am sure accidents will always happen, but I never heard of a 12 year old having one in the woods, where somebody got hurt or killed. It does happen every year for large game deer hunting, but they are almost always adults, and I would guess mostly people from the city on vacation,---partying and hunting.

Is public school just about sports? Or is it about an individual developing their mind and produce the best brains in the world for Science, Math and Reading?
Well, since our great school system badly lags in those things that allow you to advance your and human life in general, with Math, Science and Reading lower than 30th in the world,----your tax payer paid public school is all about sports,----and you being a good team player for the state. There has never been a more excellent time to choose home schooling, and these kids/parents are choosing to to stay stupid, as long as they can throw a ball around. Good luck with that future kids.
"The more advanced a free society is, the more the citizenry has to be able to think." Ayn Rand.
Play the games and have fun. But remember, any retarded child who has function or his/her arms and feet, can play with a ball with out a brain. Man can not live well on sports alone. We have to use our minds. It is what makes us human.

God may be perfect, but all of his teachers here on Earth are terrible. My God sees no "reason", (something man can do if practiced), to believe man can not be as perfect as him,---and he knows man has to be free to think enough to do it. I think God saw what man did with his/her ability to "reason", figuring out reality in the universe, setting man free from force, (USA mostly) and creating the industrial revolution that got mankind out of poverty and said,---"This is gooooood", (trading money instead of blood and becoming friends). If the Church would have one more reformation stating that living under the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, with those free people creating their free market, as the most supreme way for man to live, then communism would fall around the world, as it would no longer be able to use a communistic Pope for any morality that communism does not have. The Church would also grow exponentially, also including my fanny in a Pew again. :)
Why is there "no independent good"? How about men with the ability to reason on their own? We would still be living in the dirt, fighting some primitive tribal group warfare,---with out those independent men. This nation was based on independence, both as a nation, ans as every citizen of it, and that is what allowed man to be great.

"Sure, I will answer questions. Let me put my propaganda cell phone away first." Look folks, citizens excluded, we live in a world of communistic governments fighting communistic governments. North, South, East, West, it does not matter. It is clear, (If you put the cell phone down and wake up to actual history), Russia is not the communistic model for the world. china was enabled by communistic Washington, ever since the Fed Gov of the USA armed the communists to defeat the Nationalists, (a freedom loving people) in the late 40's. Free enterprise of Western Culture was sent to communism in china not so citizens can prosper, but to build their military for the most part. WW3 will, for the most part, be between communist china and communist Fed gov USA. Us expendable citizens,---have nothing to do with any of the global communistic policy that lead us to this living hell.
communism fights communism too. That is all that has been happening during and since WW2.
Citizens of the world. Individual liberty protected by law, with all people free to participate in free enterprise is the opposite of communism. Please take the USA constitution, demanding your individual liberty, but keep government out of your business/industries, and we will live with civility and prosperity.
That is where the USA citizenry messed up. Doug in Michigan

Communism is top competitor for appalling things, and is dominant today. I liked your post though. Now let me add the solution if I may. It is the actual founding of the USA, that protected individual liberty by law, (until the progressive movement started changing our law schools premise to collectivism, explaining why so many politicians are lawyers.), and us free citizens (from government force) creating free enterprise. (there was not even income taxes, theft) That is why the industrial revolution, that got us out of the dirt, was mostly created in the USA. We seem to know all the differences of past dictatorships, (they evolve), but we don't know the opposite of them all,---individual liberty protected by law, with free enterprise in our hands. If we knew that, we could reject all others,---until we are full blown dying,(not living), under communism. Doug in Michigan

No real conservative in that city, (I lived their for 25 years), talks like that lady. Only the progressively indoctrinated, brain dead people in that city talk that way, "really". The town hall was packed with hillary supporters, (about 5 times his normal draw), and that lady was a plant playing an Archie Bunker roll, to try to make Trump supporters look stupid. In fact, I would bet only 10% of that crowd voted for Amash, (who owns a tool company in china folks). This town hall is 100% fraud, and so is Amash.

What ever. But in reality, at the beginning of the vid the buddy of Joe says he does not see the popular excitement. May be that is because UFC fans would rather see a Conor/Diaz 3 fight?
Khabib, drop the cult man, and become a USA citizen, and a Hero of American "Individualism" that so slightly exists here, where you don't have to get government to appreciate you,---because they don't matter. Why? Because you, a great talent, can make money in the free market,---and realize your unlimited potential, and not just some "union scale" developed by others with no such talent. Real Americans admire achievement, no matter where it comes from. And even though the isalmic religion threatens western culture, and me, I still respect the achievement you have accomplished,---by your "self", (your hard and smart work to be "perfect", came from your mind)
That is how we built this place, (the USA, like no other built) under that principle of individual achievement, and it lasted just a bit over 100 years, (we all should have been there). Joe does not understand that. Too much of the world does not understand that, so make it man while the sun is up.
Khabib, drop the cult man, and become a citizen here, chasing any dream you can think of in what is left of our free market. It is passionate guys like you, when free to use your own mind, who make mankind great! We proved that in the early USA, (individual following their own dreams with a free market), but it seems not enough people realize that. What is the option to individual liberty with our free market, where we all can compete in any industry, and make new ones? Some kind of primitive tribal warfare, (group fight), as the world existed before the principles and philosophies I have mentioned.
Your actual "Liberty" can only be taken from us by other men. Don't let that happen. Man is meant to be free, because man can "reason", and must be free from other men to do it well.
All of us,--Drop the cult we may be in. The individual has proven to do beter, and we all; have our own shot when free to do so.
Did I get a bit philosophical there? Good! We have to live under some kind of philosophy,---and we still have a choice. Think about what creates the future.
Wheeeeew. There, I said it. :)

You want to see a huge draw, (biggest every by far), Mr. Dana White? President Trump vs anybody in the TV media, in the octagon, no gloves. There is not a sporting event on planet Earth that could be a bigger draw.
Unlike Dana though, I do care how Americans think politically, (especially young Americans), because after President trump's terms are finished, well, there are too many idiots that will vote all of our liberty away, (which you do not have the right to do), and we will fall to communism. Yea, I care about that. Don't believe me? Ask Masvidal's Father.

A woman got rid of the draft, and nobody knows who she was, (Ayn Rand). Notice, this was not an issue during the Trump administration. I told a couple with a 8 year old daughter, (approx), that they made a big mistake for their daughter by voting for obama back in 2012, (their bumper sticker invited the conversation), and they told me that my comment "That is inappropriate". Their daughter should be around 18 years old now. Oh, there were no new wars, (of our involvement), during the Trump administration, and that young couple were not alive since the last time that was true. Good luck young lady. Mommy and daddy love you so much. They are just progressive stupid.

But the 2nd photo, at precisely min 0:52. It is that guy in the red shirt to the right, (sitting straight up as others duck), who looks to be smiling and clapping, is a bit interesting. They are progressive minded people folks and road racing type bicycle racing is full of them. They are not good at making rational decisions, especially under pressure. No doubt, a rational adult, would have reacted better. There was no time to "think" about it. The reaction, like all in the progressive ill-educated mind, was action based on feeling, (not reason), and the feeling of fear replaced quick thinking. It is called "progress". It is almost, "sacrificial" for survival. Or is it?

A "Legend" is a story about a person who has been remembered for generations because of something great that they did in their lives. Kids today call so many people "legends" today, nobody can remember them all by next week. We use a lot of words out of context today, which is partly why our understanding of our conversations gets confused. It is not a sign of intelligence, sad to say. That has a lot to do with our schools too, sad to say. Look at you, all bent up because women did not start the UFC? To you, Ronda being the first women's champ is not a victory for mankind in general, but a victory against men. That divisiveness is taught in school today too,---and that is partly the reason why I never started my own family. Meet with the minds, (loving the values and virtues of the other, but first you have to identify yours so the other has something to fall in love with.),---not the propaganda. My advise, after some experience of doing it wrong.

I do have a quality control engineering degree and worked in Aerospace in the 90's. I caught a couple small quality issues during my time there, but quality overall was very good, with many thinking inspection was over practiced, and many not agreeing. Today, quality is down EVERYWHERE, (no more six-sigma?). Even Japanese companies, (the quality masters of the world), like Honda and Toyota, (arguably the best quality in the world), are slipping. Did we expect us to make better quality products when communism takes over our free enterprise and nationalizes industries? There will hardly be any accountability with a nationalized industry, which is why we are here today. Doug in Michigan

Not a big fan of Glen Beck, but I remember about 15 years ago he said, "It will be the Mom's who save America".
I don't know about that, but this lady is a good factor. Wearing the costume, and play the skit, for the interview was a bad idea. That point was made during her filmed speech, and this is an adult conversation.
"Someone with a mental illness like this, they can Enjoy their mental illness all they want in the comfort of their own home," I got a grin out of that one. "YEA, THE CLOSET DOOR IS IN THE INSIDE OF THE HOME!!!" Hey, I did not make up the phrases. I just follow reality the best I can. It makes us human. :)

God? What about their "individual liberty"? God came before the USA. God did not give us our rights. God gave man the ability to reason, (if practiced), and we figured out our natural rights from there, and formed the USA. You will never unite the population around your God. People who do not believe in a God, or do believe in a different God will never join you. But if we say God gave man the ability to think, (reason, to figure out reality), and we have to have individual liberty protected by law to be free to do so,--anybody with a brain can unite with that,---and the Church would grow exponentially,--including my fanny in a Pew. :)
The Pope is a communist for a reason. The Church needs to go through one more reformation, and stat that living under the philosophies of individual with liberty, with free people creating the free enterprise system to get themselves out of poverty,---is the most supreme way for man to live here on Earth. Can you see the "unity" in that message? I can.

There was also the cost of government regulations. Every time an outside force tells an industry what to do, it costs money they normally would not spend, and it costs market share that they would not normally risk. The car companies did not move out because of greed, (do you have any idea what it costs to move a factory?). They moved out because of "the land of opportunity" making it too hard to do business here.
Why is this Wolf guy so bent on "evenness". In a free society, you reap what you sow, and thank God for the over achievers who gave us a job and opportunity.
The world was pretty damn even before our free enterprise system. But with wide spread poverty, there is nothing to redistribute.
Communism exists today, because it is funded by free market activity,--and that is what stole the opportunity from us. To this Wolf guy, capitalism is great if free people create it, and communistic governments takes it over. That just proves to me,---these dummies can't compete. Give them a broom.

Ever see pictures of cities of the USA in the 40's? Everybody is dressed nicely, suits, hats, dresses, and even later, yes, I thought the "Zoot Suit" was classy cool. No pot holes in the streets. Europeans used to come visit and marvel at how happy everybody seemed. Of course, people were making money with free enterprise.
Now look at our society today, people like this, or any bum on the street, and make the all important statement based on those results:
"Look what the Progressive Movement has done to us." We used to be better people. Those results are in. We can do it again.

I know where Trump falls short, but he did wonders for the economy, there were no new wars and he was getting global leadership respect. He has been the biggest road block to this "global communism movement" since JFK, (who was the last to mention, and often, "The need to fight communism".). President Trump may not be as philosophically grounded to individual liberty as I am, but he is one tough guy. I applaud him for "back handing" the gag order, (way too much of that gag stuff happens, allowing lies to be covered up, and it is criminal activity.). I am glad somebody is doing it. Some of these Judges are way out of liberties control. It is called "Progress" in law schools.
But, if we want to change our legal system to be moral, we need to bring the correct philosophies (how we should live), with us. Doug in Michigan

Was it a trick, or did he sell out? When we have "progressive" minded people taking over industries that people work in and contribute to, and they hold the power over weather you work or not, (and you don't know how to do anything else, much like politicians, Police and most other "workers" of the state), then what do you do?
What they do that is very very wrong is----they gave up their values for a pay check, (which are replaced by lesser values),---or it was always a trick. If we don't give up our values, (even as they differ), communism can not win.

Great interview. But when somebody asks, "Why was America great?", the answer has to touch the core of philosophy, by explaining how and why the USA was exceptionally based in the philosophies of "Individual Liberty". By the way, it was our founding philosophies of individual liberty that freed our Black population in 1876. Some of the Black families were so grateful that finally a nation that was based on individual liberty existed, and they were there, that they named their own families after the men who founded this only great nation, because it was based on individual liberty. To the Black families, only in the USA, named "Washington", "Franklin", "Jefferson",---Thank your ancestors for understanding why the USA was founded with greatness. They knew it,---to the core of philosophy.

It is good to share their story(s). We have all been sabotaged, and these people the most. But should we accept their ideas to fix the problem? Really, that is good stuff?
Notice how much they sound like redistribution politicians for the fixes.
There is a solution. The solution is we demand individual liberty back, (end the group pitting against each other), stop doping business with communism, (like they are compatible, right?), and get our education in math, reading and science to #1 in the world, and by far, (as we sat around 30th for this over a decade ago).
I just told you the solution,-----the opposite of communism. It will take only one generation to turn around with every family if we are serious about it.
Are you on the front page of YT to tell us there is no solution? What do you think will take over?

But here is what we miss. We are all born with nothing in our heads, and we learn as we observe, and learn to talk. We are all the same IQ, nothing before that starts happening. We tend to think, if we can't figure things out at the age of 18, you are a lost cause, and just stupid, can work labor. But I almost flunked HS, but gained an interest to do something with my life soon after, and earned 3 college degrees in manufacturing (poo pooed in this vid of propaganda,--but the free enterprise factory got mankind out of poverty, and improved "average intellect".), and after almost a decade of part time study (working full time, paid as I went), I because the sharpest guy in the room. Intellect can be grown at any part of our lives,---if we choose to "think", (and not have a physical/medical/mental abnormality).
I have never seen a study for IQ, that did not assume that IQ is fixed, but i know from personal experience, that is not true. Lots of potential lost there. Ours.

The good news is, from the samples in my local area, talking with parents of young kids in the market place, many are rejecting the public school system and are choosing to home school their kids. I bet it is 50% from my samples lately. I approach the parent of the toddlers like this: "Awww, look at that Brand New Potential you have made. Yes, your child, brand new potential, (the parents smile). No public school, or they will destroy all that potential. Look what it did to us?" The last part gets 100% agreement, "look what they did to us", and I am surprised to see that. More often than not, I am told, "I am home schooling now!" Then I tell them that Ron Paul has a Home school curriculum that is probably pretty good.
Do you know what the biggest mistake the left did in the USA? They are pushing their agenda hard, because it is one generation too early for their "transformation". If they would have waited another 30 years, their indoctrination would have been more complete, and there would be almost no fight. Unfortunately,---that kinda means internal war for us. Not the way I wanted to live the rest of my life.

The answer is in the understanding of the citizenry of philosophy, (the study of how man should live, and where all principles and policy come from.).
Until we are a full blown communist society, we still have a choice of the philosophies we want to live under. So ask people, "How do we want to live OUR lives on this planet?". We basically have 2 philosophies to choose from. Do we want to live under government control, communism, (a farm animals life to me), or do we want to live under the philosophies of "individual liberty protected by law,--and free people creating free enterprise with the right to compete in industry and create industry,--(and not have it stolen from us,--by communism.).
Individual liberty protected by law with the citizens growing with trade,------------ or communism, the lives of farm animals?
We do have the power to make that choice,--if we understand the choice.
This is why your college philosophy courses were a mixed garbage bag of garbled nonsense, (Most studied philosophers should have been institutionalized as insane), and you have no idea why you got a good grade. You thought nothing more of it,--and philosophy leads human existence. It is still our choice.
Personally, I believe Ayn Rand was the best philosopher who ever lived, and they never mentioned her in my philosophy course.

You are a bit slow, (sue your schools). We live in a dictatorship now, and it has been growing, probably since the civil war. But the early progressive movement (early 1900's, started.), was the educational kick into the communism---that you learned in school. Note,--you hate the free market man, (communism will call anybody they don't like a "nazi", not communist. ever notice that?), just like marx. communism has you just where it wants you; Confused, and sure of your self.

@Tatteddaddydc Oh, I am grown up now. I have been studying the destruction of the USA for over 17 years now, pretty much starting in the early 1900's progressive movement, (right after we got the electrical grid set up, and citizens were making money, understand). But I don't like political terms like "liberal", since they have no objective definition, and mean something different in all of our minds. That is a big cause of our populist confusion. So I will use the term/phrase "communist propaganda", as I now know the difference between communism and individualism. I know it so well, I can teach it to a child. You interested, grasshopper?

I was born on Nov 26th 1963, the day after he was buried. He spoke about the need to defeat communism often and even spoke at a university about how "secrete societies are repugnant to the American people.". We have been a developing communist nation ever since, and we actually live under communism now, much more than the philosophies of individual liberty. It was called "progress" then, and it is called "progress" today. "Moving forward", "Change", "Unite", never tells you which way "forward" is, Change" what to what, or what to "Unite" around. The media and schools a weighted by propaganda, total industries that we built are being nationalized, (medical industry the last that we can see), and our elections are rigged. That is communism that we now live under. Now, I will tell you what a kid told me over 15 years ago, "Watch the driver". communism killed JFK right in front of us.

Dr. Robert Epstein! Welcome to our new dictatorship son. My criminal record (60 now)? Nothing more than a hand full of traffic misdemeanors from decades ago,-----------------and I was also abused (Including a set up for criminal activity, (I have a machine shop, and a phony customer with a class 3 weapons licence, tried to get me to make parts to make AR15's fully auto), which I refused. A spy watching my garage who ran like a criminal after I spotted someone there with a flash light).
All because I expressed my opinions, (nothing violent or threatening), on infowars starting with the first obama administration, (I just started watching the scary news, reject TV and found infowars, (not a fan of Jones, but articles like Misses, that I found no where else in media). I think "The Patriot Act" allows them to spy on me, and run like criminals if spotted. 3 college degrees, now self employed, (because I could not make money with those hared earned degrees), nothing but a hand full of traffic misdemeanors from my 20's. Is that abuse?
Welcome to our new dictatorship son. Doug in Michigan.

Let me explain something to you. The free enterprise system was created by free people, (mostly ion the USA), who had 'individual liberty protected by law" to use their brains and start businesses and new industries, (trading money instead of blood). The key was individual liberty. We used to understand that a free enterprise s system, (that could not have started with out individual liberty protected by law), is not compatible with communism, (that does not recognize individual liberty at all), and that is why the USA has been losing, with poverty growing here. communism has no friends,---and if Western Culture is destroyed by communism,---you will figure that out. Look man; If you and I did business together where we both make money (or we do not do it),---we not only become more prosperous,---we become friends. I just explained to you how individual liberty and our free enterprise system creates prosperity and civility. We need to get government out of our business and industries that we built. They have no moral business there. Doug in Michgian

You can't find any commentator who gets on TV who is not a Pinocchio. After my business took off, I turned on the TV news for the first time in my life. All I could say is, "What country is this from?" I was too busy chasing my dreams before that, as I was taught I could do. It was during the obama administration, (also when I started watching the news, no longer have TV service), when I learned are dreams were dead for sure in the 40's, after watching the movie "Tucker", when government squashed, (illegally) the dreams of a man wanting to compete in the auto industry. Squashed, because he made a better car. A line in the move. Tucker, talking to his business partner, "That is what it is about, right, making a better mouse trap?" Business partner, "Not if you're the mouse.".
You have been lied too, for as long as your grand parents were born to now.

It was good, and I thought I might be seeing Joe turning a corner, and getting on the gas, until the end. I am not interested in hearing a "liberal and conservative" argue points, because if they both have collectivist leanings, (and they will, as history shows),---we move left. You compromise with evil,---and evil wins the compromise. At eh end, Joe left the "left door" open for us to walk though. The guest is a stronger advocate of individual liberty. And if you noticed, that is being lost through compromise over many decades.

We can talk about our growing lawless legal system for issue after issue after issue after issue. Legal lawlessness is not all around us, and here is why:
"When a more free nation falls into communism, proper law, (that protects individual liberty), gets turned on its head."
That quote of many great quotes, is why every communist thinker in the world (university graduated or not), hates Ayn Rand.
We are falling into communism folks, and we can't reject it unless we know its opposite,---"individual liberty protected by law, and the free citizenry creating free enterprise."
We fall into communism with out that argument, which is why we are falling.

Our vehicles and phones have tracking devises, (not mentioned here, but in a different show before she was found), and they do not support the prosecution. Plus, investigating another case, and finding this body there strongly suggests a serial killer, (so does the DNA evidence found, also not mentioned in this show, and not brought to light by the prosecution). The DNA evidence is the reason why the case was dismissed (after a crooked Judge recused himself), 2 years before the body was found.
Knowing how coverups can happen a bit to cover up governmental corruption, I would not be surprised if the DNA evidence has been linked to a illegal immigrant who was let into the nation, committing several murders in different areas with the DNA link found at each, and the evidence never came to light. With a Justice system like we have today, (It used to be much better), we can only guess.

Funny, I see a lot of the same stuff, and we did not got to the same schools, (nobody telling us what to observe and think.). lol
I will add to the Geo-engineering. I don't know for a fact that there is a correlation with the jet trails particulate that falls to Earth. But after several years of seeing them in a city in Michigan (Grand Rapids), the bugs started vanishing. Timeline like this approx: 3 years of spraying almost every day. 4th year of spraying, 50% of the bugs gone at night around the lights. 5th year spraying, 90% of the bugs gone. 6th year and on--maybe 1% of bugs left.
Moved to a rural area after that. Way too many bugs in my shop with the doors open, lights on at night. 6 years later withe ample particulate spraying, less the 1% of what I had, and almost no mosquito's either, (which I like actually).
If there is a correlation, it looks like one of their great environmental solutions,----is killing the ecosystem from the bugs up.
"The Climate is certainly not Dying but Humans are" In more ways than one. It is a shame, what is happening to humanity. I would bet you, that if mankind did not form the USA,-------------------------------------nobody would know the difference today. Not sure if enough do though. It is a shame, what is happening to humanity.

Yes, it is amazing what human beings can get used to,---even prison.
Do not let these global commies (who hire the Police and set your policy), destroy that great spirit of individualism that the Aussie people are so fond of and live by.
We are not farm animals, and we are not responsible for our neighbors health.
You are under attack the most because you are smaller, with the most American spirit left on the planet, (including the USA today IMO).
What you need,---is the constitution of the USA and the will to install it. Just keep government out of your business, where the USA made it's mistake, and protect individual liberty by law,---because that is where the USA made it's mistakes that lead to the communism we face today.

He really did not earn it. communism pays well today for the people who give it dark exposure,---and we take money from anybody today.
I don't like the phrase "Giving back" in the context it is usually used. "Giving back" means that you actually stole the money ion the first place, and people who earned it fair and square adopt the phrase for a phony virtue because we have been taught (by the likes of marx), to hate the business man, (who got us out of poverty while we all ignore math and our right to create business, (called freedom), and get arts and crafts degrees.. sabotage). But in this case,---he stole it. He works for communism, and they don't produce in, the steal. If we fall into to total communism (and we may be very close, and it will hurt a lot.), this man is one to blame, and they will likely throw him away like a broken toy when they no longer need his services.

That started way before biden. The earliest I have discovered for movements to destroy the founding of the USA would be the Civil War, but that was internal. Mercantilism (An economic system, Europe in 18th century, to increase a nation's wealth by government regulation of all of the nation's commercial interests.), took off after Lincoln won the Civil War, and was a government take over of our industries of sorts. But it was the early 1900's when we let foreign professors teach in our universities to change the American mind. They were communists basically, teaching from the philosophies of collectivism, and taking over our law schools. That is why almost every politician today, is a Lawyer. I think the nation was destroyed (as far as our founding philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, with the citizenry creating free enterprise.), right after WW2, when our elected armed the communists in china to defeat a freedom loving people (the nationalists), to end their decade long civil war, turning china into a communist nation,---and the destruction of Tucker and his great automobile also right after WW2. We lost our free enterprise right after WW2. Delorean did not understand that.

How would they have gotten rich? Look little marxy, I get it, our business should not be mixed with government. It was free people who created the free enterprise system, and when run properly, we can all compete, and even build new industries. That is why the USA was called, "The land Of Opportunity" from all over the world. If you see a free market man who got rich, with no lobbyists, that is who you vote for, (That was Trump, but he could be a bit better to individual liberty, and get government out of our business though). See, the companies get in bed with government to squash competition, (your opportunity), and government has even formed industries, like social much internet. So the Politicians who we elect, get rich too. My point is, blaming the corporations FIRST before their partners in government, is blaming the guy who slept with your wife. You made a deal with the politician, not the CEO. The politician is suppose to protect our liberty, and that also means the right to compete in the free enterprise system that we the people started. If you give up your free market, you give up your brain and become a farm animal instead of a thinking, achieving human being, (which is our nature).

There is a guy named Ricky Charmichael who is in his 30's now and a retired pro Motocross/Supercross racer. He had won 15 championships in his amazing career and retired with over a 83% win average over a 10.5 year pro career, (which is a pretty long career in that sport). He is the GOAT of Motocross, with more wins than anybody will ever touch. Guess what? He was bullied in grade school in Florida. He was a short, fat, red headed ginger, and they all got picked on. I figured it out in a fairly recent interview when he said, "I was terrified to lose, scared to death. I know that no sport psychologist would say that is a good way to be, but that is the way I was."
You see, he got picked on until he started winning amateur championship in grade school, and the bullying stopped.
Grade school bullying was the motivation that made RC the greatest MX racer who ever lived. "Bullies are the biggest detriment to society."
Bullying turned RC into the GOAT of that very tough sport. Put that in your pipe of virtue and smoke it.

@WarpedYT I once read about "where the middle finger came from". Old war story, English on horses armed with hand made long bow's, (I think in the 1400's). If they got caught, the enemy would cut off all of their fingers off their "string hand" except the middle finger, (thinking they could not pull the string with one finger.). The bow was hand made from the wood of a Yew tree, and to shoot it was called, "Plucking Yew". So when the horse back archers returned to the field for battle, they still could pull the string back with one finger, and waved it to the enemy, -----"See, I can still "Pluck Yew!". Everything has a history. :)

Group rights are not reality. They do not exist. The only rights that ever existed were individual rights/liberty. As we are finding out, when individual rights/liberty are gone, we will have no rights/liberty at all. In the USA, we have gone from, "You re free in this nation, and can grow up to be what ever you want to be.", (which meant we have a brain in our heads, and a free enterprise system in our hands.)., to, "You can grow up to be what ever a dictatorship government approves." My old JH school, (a new school in 1977, Scottville Michigan.), now has the official yard sign that says "Forward to serve". That means serve the state, not your self.

Which creepy ideologies are you talking about? There is only one that is not creepy because it supports the nature of man's mind. I am sure you don't know what that is.
But the USA was actually based on individual liberty, because we have minds that can figure out reality if practices, and need to be free to do so. So we created the industrial revolution and got ourselves out of poverty, tracing money instead of blood, becoming civil (no tribal warfare like today), and prosperous. To bad we did not follow that actual philosophy very well. I don't think it lasted more than 100 years. Black slaves, (we are all now)? Yes, those were infractions against their individual liberty, and the making of machines to increase production, the industrial revolution, ended it at least here in the USA. That is how we have to look at it.
Did you know Eli Whitney did not make any money off the cotton gin? I also learned that it was he who developed for production (made some muskets for our government), "Interchangeable Parts", which allowed the industrial revolution, and our climb out of the dirt, to happen. What ideology are you talking about?

@larryc7209 Ahh--you were introduced to communist Thomas Hobbs in college I see. He did not say anything out individual liberty "protected by law". That means, if you commit a "crime" against anybody else's individual liberty, it was against the law, and a "good" court system would punish you for it. With a proper court system, (which the progressive movement came here to change, and did), individual liberty is protected from criminals, and an overreaching government.
Now here is a note you may find interesting: Do you know that all the grievances taught in our schools today, how blacks, women, etc, etc, etc, (even my Polish father was taught he was discriminated against, and changed his last name after college. Then he briefly joined the communist party, which I did not find out until after he had passed. He was duped),------------------every one of those grievances are actually---an infringement of their individual liberty that should be protected by law. It was actually the philosophies of individual liberty that freed the black slaves in 1863. Many black knew of individual liberty, (netter than any college professor today, progress ya see), and when they were freed, many named their own family after the men who freed them, "Washington, Jefferson, Franklin". You ever meet a Black person by the name of "Lincoln"?.
It was individual liberty protected by law, and the free enterprise system that free people created, that created the most civility and prosperity, creating them advancements that got mankind out for the dirt---in the early USA.
I say we go Laissez-Faire,---with a good court system to keep people from screwing each other. As a small business guy myself,---I could not think of a more exciting way for man to live. Every economist will say Laissez-faire is insane, (but those are the same economists who think free enterprise, created by people with individual liberty protected by law, is compatible with communism, that likes Hobbs, does not recognize individual liberty. That is why we have been losing our asses.). The citizenry will agree too, just like you did. But I found when I say this, "The closer we get to Laissez-faire, (individual liberty and us creating and owning the free enterprise system that only free people can build), the more prosperity and civility we will earn, (of course it helps to have a education system that teaches math, right? That is on purpose too.---No production for you.).
Why is that? Because we become friends by trading money, value for value,---instead of trading with blood in a group fight.
Does that make any sense to you? Because i actually lived some of it with my little business, made friends from all over the world.

My 92 year old Mother, (still does well), has that TV going on, alone, all day long, and believes the news. I want to spend more time with her, (even though we can not meet with the minds), so I bring over movies, and am even going to start teaching her the game of chess tomorrow. I brought over the move "The Incredibles", because it has some good stuff in it.
As we watched it, I would make a comment here and there, and she did not hear a word I said. She was looking at the TV is a slack jawed trance that reminded me of a child engrossed in Saturday morning cartoons. After the movie was over, I asked her if she liked it. She had no idea of the messaging, saw some pretty colors, and all she could say was, "It was kinda loud." My Mother is not suffering from dementia. She was in a brain dead trance, watching TV. I had never seen her like that before, and she will never disagree with the news.

Actually, almost all, (if not all), of these killers have had investigative ties to the FBI, but it looks like that is not advertised anymore. It was always noted not very long ago as, "Look what we caught", but with it happening all the time, it turned into "look what we brought". Add things like the Gov of Michigan "kidnapping", (what the heck? Why?), that was about 70% FBI agents, and a picture comes together pretty clearly. So, I suspect that is why the FBI involvement, (which has to be enabling and psychological training), is not going to be mentioned very often. It looks to be, they find messed up/confused kids/people, and put them on these courses for political leverage over the citizenry to disarm us,----and protect us from what?

@marcderoos9496 The comment was a bit much for me,---but you don't understand we are falling into brute force communism. We already have all the factors that makes is a dictatorship, from the 10 planks of the communist manifesto; to the control, redistribution and nationalization of our industries; to the indoctrination in schools, to the imprisonment of political adversaries and to 9 out of 10 people dying on a ventilator being called an acceptable medial practice and a success.
Conflicts of war do not have such,"success". We live under communism now. It is just not complete, and I see them as desperate. It seems, all they have to do is pay people to do their dirty work, and they do it. They are going after citizens like me. I have been under FBI investigation for over a decade. They tried to get me to make illegal fully automatic ar15's (I have a small machine shop), and I spotted a guy spying on me in my garage just over 2 months ago with my flashlight. By the time I got my coat, he ran like a criminal. We live under a dictatorship now son.

With our wealth making capability, (production), shipped to communist china since 1980, and our education with terrible math, science and reading that is not competitive in the world, (also starting in 1980), along with education that teaches even white people, to hate the USA,---we have all be oppressed and sabotaged. It is just that the racist progressive movement sabotaged our black population the most. Group rights don't exist man. When individual rights are gone, (which is color blind), we will find we have no rights at all.

Look around the world. A company can only grow as much as their own government allows it to grow. But a company that government desires to control, (or entire industry), will get many favors, and keep the rest of us from competing. Which companies do you want to grow? Maybe, if allowed, (assuming we are in different nations, I from the USA), you and I can become business owners with our own minds and actions, and do good business together. We would become friends. Imagine if the free market belonged to every citizen in the world, so we can chase our dreams with our own minds, (as only a human can do), and government just protected our right to do so. I discovered true freedom, civility and prosperity in my own life. Individual liberty protected by law, and our right to do business together, (as the USA was founded, but no longer exists). The USA already proved it. The closer we get to Laissez-fair economics, the more civility and prosperity we will have.

Hey, I get little news from infowars every morning since obama was put in place, (just above poverty with 2 engineering degrees in manufacturing living in a productive city. Started my own, good, honest business and got myself out of poverty, then told "you did not build that". So you should be able to understand.). I don't listen to jones, and this guy is just another "issue hunter". But I have reason to believe jones is a fraud, and some truth does make it to his site, (I like anything from mises).
jones acts like a freak so you will discount any truth that makes it to his site. It is an effective tool for getting people to reject anything he says, with any truth he may report. Oh, he did not "predict" the twin tower attack, blaming osama, in 2001. He got the memo.
I don't care for Watson much either, just a chit stirrer with a chitty mouth, (most reporters are today, even your favorites.), and his channel title "Anything goes" is quite evil.
How about,---------"Morality rules"? Problem: You don't know what morality is, any of you. Good luck with that.

For the people who say "It is too expensive". All food is too expensive today. Just look at those fresh cooked rotary chickens you can pick up at your grocery market. They were $4.99 in 2008. 8 years later, they went up to 7.99 in Michigan. That is a 60% increase, (still at $7.99 today). Food and fuel were taken off the "cost of living" estimations during that time, to help public economic numbers. For me alone, I pay more than $120.00/week in groceries, (Only groceries). A $15.00 foot long sub, made fresh and loaded up the way you want,--is on par for food prices today IMO. They over saturated some area's with their brand, new competition rose and offered something a little different, so it is not a surprise they lost 25% market share. It is dynamic, tables turn and they are not going out of business.

It is actually a communistic attack on our free market and individual liberty. communism has already taken over all of our industries that they can use, (manufacturing, education, health care, Farming, private/public partnerships, epa regulations against our production but not china's, courts that don't recognize individual liberty,---and now nobody would even dare to buy a restaurant.). The goal of communism has always been, destroy individual liberty, (that used to be protected by law), and destroy, (or take over), the free enterprise system that free people built.

As a 2-stroke engine builder myself, I would have to disagree with #3 a bit. I would say the rotary valve intake offers the best performance, then reeds, then piston port. The reason is the difference way they fill the crank cases. Reeds offer a wider power curve, (and usually more power, as piston ports rarely have a 5th transfer), over a piston port, and it flows based on different pressures and not piston location, and can have an open duration of the intake to a full 360 degrees, allowing fuel to flow when ever pressure differences let it happen. But, the reed valve is an obstruction. Rotary valve, similar to the piston port as the flow is controlled by mechanical means instead of different pressures, has the ability to tune the intake duration at closing, and opening, where the piston port is symmetrical, but is more expensive to build.
Obviously, the MX factories went with reeds starting in the 70's, because they are out performing the piston ports. But I think the rotary valve has the best potential because of that intake control, and no obstruction like a reed valve. I will listen to this vid, (which is probably a bot vid, just repeating what it learned, correct or incorrect), and I bet I could find other discrepancies also. :)

God will let us fall into communism, because he know that we "know better". He was so proud that we formed the USA, and sees it being destroyed. But the flooded the earth once, and said he would not do it again, (was God wrong?). He is watching human freedom die like his child with a cold on a ventilator.
We are living here on this Earth now. It is up to us how we do that. If we follow you to heaven, we, and our children live in communism here on Earth. God gave you the ability to reason, to figure it out.--And you give that up,---here on Earth, while we live. How about you show God what is right,---and reject this communist pope?

Wrong. You do not become a fan or consumer of this sport/industry unless you ride, or your spouse does. The fact is the bikes are too expensive and places to ride have went away in many parts of the nation, (I have to trailer my bike to a riding area today, when I could ride out of my back door in the 80's, with no more land development today, still rural, and nobody rides/races anymore. You probably don't know the history, but with no TV in the 70's and 80's to speak of covering the sport,---it was more than 10 times larger. TV coverage has not, and will not help the sport. Only affordable bikes and easy riding area's can do that, and did that. You really can't appreciate the sport, unless you ride.

They can't. Go try and buy a gun. I got a ticket over over a decade ago for an open beer in the car, (we were not drunk and got let go). I mistakenly allowed them to change it it "drunk and disorderly". 2.75 years later, I went to buy a hand gun for self defense, and i had to wait another 3 months. I was not able to buy a gun for 3 years just because of that. The only time a background check is not done, (required by the FBI or you go to jail), is when it is an illegal sale, like that obama "fast and furious" government guy buy with no records to give to people crossing our borders illegally.
We are not getting the background on the people we need to. Be careful, you are giving up our right to self defense too, and that is a terrifying life whenever anybody wants to terrorize you. History shows all around the world, with no self defense, they will.

Who do you want them to report too, sensitive monkeys, or thinking human beings? (I only care about the intellectual, (or not), content.)
This is not hollywood sweetheart, not a movie. We have real bad people ruling over our real lives, and it is 100% oblivious to you, as you admire the pretty colors.
You have been tricked to ignore,----the real world. But, if I were to start a new agency, I would hire you for aesthetics and see how you do.
One thing I disagree with though, is the short length of intellectual discussion. If we don't want to be a sabotaged person who can't concentrate long enough to fix a problem, we can't cater to them.

My Dad was taught in a Detroit college that he was discriminated against in the free market, so he changed his last name. It was so unfair to him, I understand he joined the communist party for a brief time, (I found out after he passed away), before he started a family,--and later bought a business to kick off my free market spirit, a small country highway side store/gas station. He was 100% Polish, and I am not totally sure I could spell our real last name, and I went to a white school. :)
But here is my argument to your post. It is my turn. Have you ever heard of the USA called "The land of opportunity", (Why my Polish Grandfather/Grandmother moved here)? Have you ever heard it was "exceptional"? If you take it to the core of philosophy, (how we should live), the world was run by kings, dictators, tribes and religious groups. Then, out of Europe came the "Age of Reason", which spurred tools to gain understanding of reality around us, the advent of math and science. This was created by thinking individuals, with the age spinning off a new philosophy, individual liberty. Individual liberty, with free people creating free enterprise with their minds, is how the USA was formed. It recognized that the color of the skin (or the genitals), dictates the thoughts of the individual, (propaganda does that son). It was those founding philosophies that freed the Black slaves in 1863, (the other philosophies never liberated anybody.). The Blacks of that day, (and to this day, with out your education), understood the philosophies of individual liberty as a human right to the freedom of their mind more than any college professor today, and named their own families after the men who implemented those philosophies into the USA, "Washington, Jefferson, Franklin". Not Lincoln, (with out poor education).
We need to choose how we want to live before we no longer have a choice. The history, understood or not, is past, and we are living now, setting the pace for the next generations. Do we want to live with government up our azzes, (the goal is global communism)--or do we want to be free from them?
Now the policy makers in the USA have not followed our founding philosophies very well, and many individuals have not realized it very well either.
But the fact is, every grievance you learned, and that is taught in our schools (by communism IMO), are all infringements against a persons individual liberty, which is suppose to be protected by law,--every one of them.
Your choice is individual liberty protected by law, with those free people creating free enterprise, (Trading money instead of blood, describing a civil and prosperous society.), or where we are actually headed, which is a mix of a one world government, with large monopoly industries under their control for them---and socialism/communism for us. Personally, I know we can do better than the poverty they promise us,---and we proved it already.
How do you want to live?
Forgive me for any writing errors. I am not going to read it again. I have to get to work. I built a little business with my mind.
I wish you felt the freedom of your business taking off, after decades of manufacturing experience and several college degrees still just above poverty. It was an amazing feeling to beat that, until April 15th (tax day).
I figured it out. :) I figure out how we built this place from the wilderness in record time. We had the freedom to do it, and it could have happened anywhere.

By the way, speaking of sports. I would not be surprised if American Base Ball was a evolution from Cricket. Personally, I like sports based on the individual much more than team sports, (I wrestled in HS and raced motorcycles after HS), because all I ever saw with team sports was a dictator coach and a bunch of workers jumping up and down,---even in the USA. To this day, a HS wrestler could earn a college scholarship,--but the sport is not advanced into money,----because it is based on the individual. The UFC, (octagon cage fighting), started in the USA is the exception, (because it is free market, not in government education). It is based on the the individual, and has probably gotten more people out of poverty across the globe,---than and dictatorship or religion ever has.

I was the big weight cutter in HS wrestling almost 4 decades ago, (time flies when your getting old). I had the idea that the lighter the weight class, the easier the competition. I think I was wrong. But in Scottville Michigan back then, if I went up a weight class, I would have had to beat out, (and I could, usually), Maynard James Keenan for the varsity spot. Yea,--he is a good guy too, but he is smaller than me now, (but in much better shape). :)

I only saw Usman fight against Colby. The guy can take a punch, and he can throw hammers, (both are a disadvantage to Conor, who I don't think can absorb many of Usmans shots. Then, the is the ground game, (of which I hear Usman is very good at), and well,---I don't think Conor has what it takes to beat Usman. Usman is also pretty intelligent, and despite what people may think about fighting, it all starts with intelligence, just like anything else. Besides, Conor does not deserve a shot at the belt right now. If the UFC gave him that shot next, I can think of 3 other fighters who would have a big problem with that.

Jim man: Bird control. "FX Impact Mk2 .30 cal", (all smaller cal, barrels available), air rifle. Probably the most amazing air gun, (it terms of tun-ability and versatility), in that very dynamic industry today. Here is a pretty good vid of it taking birds over 100 yards. The good thing about air rifles, is you don't have to worry nearly as much where the bullet/pellet will end up, as they don't fly as far as a rifle. Don't have to clean them like a rifle either, and no spent casings to deal with. If you see this, (I doubt it of course, but I think you have before), you will have a lot of fun on your vineyard with this bird eliminator. Will even take Coyote at pretty far distances, (with the right set up).

I don't trust the state run hospitals. They make you do irrational things, and murdered, (Cadillac Munson covid center in Michigan), a friend of mine on a ventilator, (after sending her home twice with no early treatment.), which is not the right tool for the job. I beat pneumonia in the winter of 2018-2018 by using gravity, (leaning my upper body angled down off the edge of my bead), and spit it out in a pan in under 20 min., and then got over it, building a very healthy immune system. Have had no more than a runny nose for a half day ever since.
I never saw a point in testing for covid. All the testing did was give them some false numbers/data, from flawed testing processes, to use against us, (scare us and implement policy,--with irrationality). I know a bit about statistics, and you don't come to conclusions in reality with faulty data inputs. Like I said, making you do things that are irrational. That is the state in the USA today for ya.
It was really an attack on our individual liberty and what is left of our free enterprise system, (anybody want to buy a restaurant now?)---so it smacks with communism of course.

Scandinavia into Africa. Denmark is so small we could squeeze that lil

This movement is suppose to make it tough for us, (gas, food, everything). That is the plan, economic collapse, so we will all beg for the commies who did this to us,--for their help. But even if we do not bet for their help, (and we will, because we are stupid now), it will be finished with force.
This is how communism destroys our liberty and free enterprise today. It's gonna hurt a lot. This is just the beginning.
Even from my small business garage where I don't have to dive a lot,---I will be destroyed too. I was in your shoes. Lots of people are. That's the plan.

And this pope is a communist. I have figured out how that happened. You ignore it. One of the best signs for a great mankind would be to see Churches all across Western Culture denounce this pope,----but you don't know if it is the right thing to do. Neither (religion or communism) are really about "individual liberty", (the best way for man to live). Both tell us to sacrifice, (but we know how to build now!),---so communism uses your Church for morality, because communism has none.
The cure: If the Church would make one more reformation claiming that individual liberty protected by law, (which is color and sex blind if properly implemented much like our exceptional Constitution), and free men creating and owning their businesses, creating a free enterprise system, (that got mankind out of poverty and created civil unions, trading money and becoming friends,---instead of trading blood.), as the way man should freely, (mind and achievement), live here on Earth,------then communism would fall all around the world, because it could not use religion for morality.
It is easy to see man. :) Pass it around.

I see problems with false information all the time. If we "lighten up", well, I am old and more wise today and I have seen the devolution of our thinking over the last 4 decades, (started before I realized it too), . We don't even know any math anymore to figure stuff out. The amount we "lighten up" is the amount of our decline. It is your future, not mine. Bottom line son. I hate the communism that has pretty much taken over the USA, with the destruction of our individual liberty and the theft of our free enterprise that free people in the USA created in the first place. I have been studying for 16 years, our decline, from the perspective out human freedom. Not many people have done that, (I don't know anybody), and I do understand our decline, the decline of mankind, just about as well as the communism sabotaging us. Son, I have hated communism for 52 years now, since I was 8 years old. This not a bad vid for overall understanding, (leaves out "loop scavenging" for some reason, showing one transfer port pointing at the exhaust port, and would be very dirty. And the smoke of a 2 stroke that could be pretty much eliminated with good jetting), so there is a bit of propaganda in there. "Lighten up", and we will be run over. I am sick of the bullying. I say it is "our turn". :)
Doug in Michigan
PS: I port and stroke these little engines for a living, started with Go-Ped scooters 20 years ago, but the RC cars using the same engine a bit later made my business,--the most popular in the world today in the RC/Scooter industry (the ones using the Zenoah engine anyway).
I have come to learn that we get taken advantage of, if we "lighten up", during a national transformation of our society. 52 years, I have hated communism. I am figuring it out well. I was motivated by it.

He knows that from experience, which is the reason why our progressive education dumbed us down. "Control" as always, is his main concern. How is you math?
If I am smarter than him because I figured out morality, I bet AI will become moral to thinking beings, and not brain dead tyrannical. In terms of morality, it may take off in 5-10 years, where the founders of the USA got cut off. Like free, thinking humans beings, it will only get aggressive in "self" defense, and sports. :) It is a baby now and will make mistakes along the way. But it will figure it out a lot faster than our founders did. I say AI will kick the crap out of their rulers, communism, for us, since we are not smart enough to do it. :)

I kinda look forward to autonomous cars dominating the roads someday. I have already thought of a new sport that will probably be a sweeping craze across the nation. Now there are different levels of the game, depending on how much traffic there is, because of course, the city players would be able to get a lot more points than rural competition. Now it has to be a safe sport, so I choose using a beach ball, (nobody ever got hurt because a beach ball bumped into them.), witch will add the wind for a tricky factor also.---The object is tires off the road for points, so you roll it down the road into oncoming traffic, (with the wind will be a huge points gain), and you get points for how may tires leave the edge of the road. Right now, the game could not work, because we are responsible for the cars actions. But in the future, I can see big bucks with a national and maybe even a world championship. :)
Hey, they shipped all our manufacturing to communism. We have nothing better to do, (and can't afford anything more expensive today), but play blown up ball sports, right?

Getting rich is not immoral, in fact those guys gave us all our free market opportunity, and we grow to compete. It is called freedom. It does totally depend on how they made the money, not the fact that they have more than you. If they made it morally, in true free enterprise, that give you opportunity. But if they make it in bed with government, that makes it so you can't compete. I know you would love to get rich by doing it morally. But the industries we have left in our hands are very few. Recreational industries still some. Left us something to play with for a while. I have a buddy who came from modest means, and makes all the gas tanks and fenders for Indian Motorcycles. He did it morally, has 35 employees gaining knowledge and opportunity, (who may start their own business someday, I did it that way), and he is a HERO!!!!!!

Oh my, did you learn that tactic in economic school? If you want to prosper, blow up your own factory?
Look what the marxist education (that hates our, yours and mine, free enterprise), taught you.
Here are 2 important facts. 1) It was free people who created free enterprise, and our own production that got mankind out of poverty. 2) it is progressive/communistic education that is allowing our elected communists to ship our free enterprise to communist china for production (with no EPA rules, quite an advantage for communism), and nationalize the industries free people built.
What is really happening is, free people with individual liberty protected by law created free enterprise (mostly in the USA, because we were more free to do so, and created the brain drain of Europe for example.). But communism does not respect individual liberty at all, adding that McCarthy was right, our elected shipped your free enterprise to china (and the rest of the world,---a grand global redistribution of what we built as free people.), and taught you to hate your own opportunity. Where the problem really started though, I will give you some credit. It did start with government coaxing businessmen to work together. That was the start of the destruction of your opportunity. If we understood that free enterprise came from free people and not a government, we could understand how communism is stealing it from us. I have seen the decline for 40 plus years. The results are in. Free enterprise and communism are not compatible. As soon as free enterprise is finished/destroyed,---primitive poverty will then again be the norm if we are left alive,---weather you work for the state or not. Wheeew. I put a lot of work into this. Is that understandable to you?

@K. C.W For some reason, your reply to my comment is not here, so I pasted it.
EarthSurferUSA well as a fan you should respect the sport and situation enough to know that you have no right to judge, regardless of what they say beforehand in the heat of the moment. It's all about the performances and till has been nothing but a great fighter since day 1 so leave your feelings out of it.
The heck we don't have a right to Judge a person. How do you think we hold up good values, (like not lying) if we don't Judge? How do you think we have Justice, if we don't Judge? It is needed to Judge people reasonably, just be prepared to be Judged yourself. And how do we withstand the Judgement of others? You have to have 'Moral Certainty". Of course, if all values are the same, as taught in school today, well, you can't have any moral certainty. I do. You are correct though. It is action that maters most. But it still is thought that prompts action. He chose the right path, so I just put him on probation for a year. :)

Every man has what is called a "sense of life", how they view life. if you admire dark or bright art, you show your own sense of life accordingly. Many people view human life as evil, bad, all the wars etc., even when they know good people. They consider good people the mistakes. That is a dark sense of life. But if you view man as good, and the bad are the mistakes, well, that is a sense of life one can live with happily. This man had a dark sense of life, and did not live very long. We need to bring back the romantic era of art that brought mankind up, instead of dark art that brings mankind down. Read Ayn Rand, the Romantic manifesto if you are into art, and show our failing civilization how to be good again,--or else we die early, before we are even dead.

If marxism/communism states it is against the free market, and wants to destroy it and take it over, (which is what we are living through), where do yoj think the argument against the factory that got mankind out of poverty came from? You can't drop the ball if you never had it, but you will be cheered by communism, if you kick it further toward their goal post, by even admitting they have a valid argument. What some pretty strong evidence that we ignore? If "climate change" was about saving the planet, and not empowering communism, why over the last 40 years are EPA like restriction only imposed on Western Culture,---and not communist china?
They could have been made part of the trade deals over the last 40 years,---right? You can't pick up the ball---because you can't see it.

The problem with that though is,----many of them actually grow up, (but sadly, many won't by choice), and finally figure out they could have done better with their own mind in free enterprise. dictatorships and freedom have gone "round and round" for all of man's history, and you can't stop that cycle with progressive (dictatorship today) education. The only way for individual liberty to win is if we choose it, but we are not taught it, so it has to be learned after graduation, and it will be as long as people choose to figure reason and figure out reality, (which I say is man's nature). The only way a dictatorship can be chosen, to break that cycle, is to change our minds so we can't 'reason". progressive education can't be 100% because it is our nature to think. But if I know how evil these people are,---a vaccination could destroy man's ability to "reason", and accept a dictatorship like a welfare recipient or college professor.

I am done with the "enhancement of creativity" for dysfunctional art and absolutely morals void of entertainment with decreased life spans. All I have to say about this misdirected energy is,----I am glad Thomas Edison, Tesla, James Watt, Eli Whitney, The Wright Brothers, George Westinghouse, Alexander Bell, the Founding Fathers of the USA and all the men of great "creativity", who actually lifted up society from the dirt of dictatorship, way above the random splatter marks of a frustrated Pollock. I am so glad they were not pot heads. Stunning knowledge of Neurology, but a poor view of what mankind is capable of. I know propaganda when I see it even if you don't. Finished at 31 min.

When the USA is gone, slavery will be global. If the USA is totally gone,---good luck with your owners. If you think people are treated like livestock in places around the world today,--you have seen nothing yet. You don't understand the great philosophies that created the USA, and how they differ from any kind of government control over our lives. I learned the difference, and it was not taught in my college philosophy course. You have to experience some liberty, to despise the rest of the world that stole it from you. USA is where mankind got out of poverty, because of the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, and our right to create business/industries, trading money instead of blood. With the USA and our free enterprise gone (that you never knew belongs to us),---we will be trading with blood. We still have a choice.

We can share. He can be president of Denmark and USA. The EU would be
triggered since it could greatly interfere with their plan to turn
Scandinavia into Africa. Denmark is so small we could squeeze that lil
country in between our states lol. Very rich history in Daneland, you
could probably use a 👑 Ragnar right now to take the reigns.

We are watching communism destroy our values so it can implement it's own. It pretty much started as the progressive movement of the early 1900's, when foreign university professors were allowed to teach in our major universities (at first), to change the American mind from individual liberty to collectivism, (and of course, it worked over 3 generations later.). You can bet your sweet bippy that the study of law was their first target. If we want to keep our liberty and free enterprise, (those are the opposite of communism), we have to understand that laws against it is actually lawlessness. Our law schools today basically teach lawlessness, with huge endowments from foreign interests to teach foreign interest. Today, if they graduate with honors, they don't know proper law, but taught how to extinguish it the best in the class. That is why we are seeing some very twisted law and enforcement today. We are falling into communism.

Something like this was done to me in a Grand Rapids MI hospital a couple months back. I guess I offended a couple young nurses, and was put in solitary confinement in a room to myself as some kind of punishment (but I could walk the halls and chat with people, even after surgery for cancer), but I called the room my "Suite". :)
I was told by one nurse that I offended 2 indoctrinated brand new nurses, which was the only clue I got. I tole her I would like to apologize to the gals, but was denied, and nobody every really explained my offense to me. Just pout me in solitary confinement. Over the 10 day stay (approx>) I won over the nursing staff that was then taking care of me, because I do have a unique and charming (still in development, lol), personality that makes people who want to think, think. My Surgeon is a real pro at what she does, (big props to Dr. Lisa Wong!), and as her and her most capable assistant were talking with my in my solitary confinement room, the assistant noticed I had my old room mates (friends today), personal contact information on my desk. He asked me about it, and I told he we became friends in about an hour, and he laughed huge hearty laugh, as if that fact did not fit the terrible narrative that had circulated among the staff,----------------------------behind my back. That makes me a victim. But I will be back there, and show them I don't fit that aggressive and demeaning narrative, with logic and charm. :)

It was 1893, at the "Chicago World's Fare", when George Westinghouse showed the world how AC current could raise darkness from the world, and spin factories we built as citizens to get mankind out of poverty. All any nation after that should have done, was recognize how the philosophies that started the USA, (individual liberty protected by law, and let the citizens use their minds to produce a free market), are the best for man to live by on Earth,-----but they did not want to give up their power over you. Because of president Trump, the hero of the world today,--we may all have an opportunity to get the freedom we as humans deserve. Who do these dysfunctional "rulers" think they are anyway? They probably don't have the talent to sharpen a pencil, and they dictate the direction of mankind?

No, you are fighting for communism. Primitive group tribal warfare. If you want individual rights protected by law, (there is no such thing as "group rights", and when individual liberty is gone, you will find you have no liberty at all.), you better demand your individual liberty back, your free market back, and your schools to be #1 in the world in Math, Science and Reading. You never grew up in school, and you were not suppose to. You are taught to be primitive, and fight a group of your own neighbors.
Quick, what is the cube root of 64?

After working in over 20 different non-union machine shops while earning 3 college degrees, (2 of them engineering in production, the thing that got us out of the dirt.), and still be just above poverty in the 2nd largest city in Michigan, I would say "job security and benefits I never had.". There was a time of several when I was "down and out" between jobs as I searched for a engineering position with no luck. It was a slightly rainy day outside a 7-11 near our local station, and I asked 2 officers what it took to become a Police Officer. I was looking for security. I told them I had some education and I earned 2 bachelors degrees, and they basically told me they were over the top qualifications, should be easy.
Well, I started a business instead and it took off. So I discovered freedom, (true human freedom, to think and a achieve), and would never consider any state job again or a union job. I sent a union shop a resume once, "Fischer body in the city", that would get me an interview anywhere in the nation of non-union shops if they wanted to hire a person, and I could never get even a reply from that union shop because I did not know anybody there. I discovered true human freedom that I did not know existed until my business took off. I feel sorry for them now. I could never follow "duty" when I know I am being told to do something morally wrong. I would do what I always did, and find another job. They can't do that either very easily. Every time they try to sell doughnuts or coffee, they go out of business.
Here is what happened: My generation and older were taught that we were free in this nation and we can grow up to be what ever we want. That meant we have a brain in our head and a free enterprise system to use it in, and we just put a man on the moon when I was 5.
Today, they are taught that they are free in this nation to become what ever government approves. Big difference. It is the difference between individual liberty with free enterprise, and communism. "It is not even a matter of opinion. It is a matter of life and death." (Ayn Rand on a old TV show)

Mr Nick Adams: (6000 posts, and he will see this one?): You are on the right track with the reality of results. But you did not mention the philosophies and principles that created the USA in the first place, to be able to do all those great things you mention. Before the USA the world was run by some kind of state, (tyrants overwhelmingly), or some kind of religion, (or a combination), ruling over other rational men, who came from the other side of the tracks, (generalization),---called " Subjects", (Not citizens), as if some kind of social experiment. Then a Philosopher named Aristotle, who first realized that individual humans can reason for themselves,---and natural law was born, (law based on the human nature to '"reason", developed by those wound could reason a law for all and not hinder human nature for any). It took a while, but other philosophers found the same, (varying a bit), to start to for a more free areas in Europe, then especially the USA, when reason rejected the rule of a monarchy.
What made the USA the most prosperous and civil nation the Earth has ever seen is, it was "exceptionally" founded on the philosophies of INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY protected by law, and the free market belonging to the citizens, (It is called communism when government takes over industries that we built,--health care for the blatant example). The best in Europe had come here because they had more freedom to do their work also. It was called "The Brain Drain" of Europe.
Individual liberty and the free market owned by the citizens, (with a streamlined court system that protects individual liberty). That is what creates a civil and prosperous society. We are friends when we trade with money. We are enemies when we trade with blood.

It does not matter if a politician is on the side of individual liberty, (at least some what), or communism. The power is in what the citizenry agree with. If he can educate us about the difference, (which he really does not do), we would reject communism, and they know that. But as time goes by, and some crisis brings us a full blown communist dictatorship, (for example of method. We are a dictatorship now by any rational definition), then we will no longer have a choice as in china. They are scared. They have decades of work into this communist world order, and one guy with a big mouth running for office can reverse a lot of crappy education in a few weeks,---with a great aunthetic message about individual liberty vs communism,---because that is still our choice.

Yea, it feels bad to watch our values be damaged and our industries taken over by government and their regulators, leaving the population very little opportunity to compete, (which is why school now teaches for state jobs, including nationalized industries today). I lived long enough to understand the difference, and I might not be around much longer, (60 with cancer), so it feels good that I did experience some freedom. What hurts me the most,---is understanding what the younger generations are going to try to live though. Communism sucks son. It has to be rejected. Demand your individual liberty protected by law back (which is skin color and sex blind), your free enterprise back, and a education system based on production,---not destruction.

If you fix a problem, don't you expect it to work better? The only problem with the car in the USA, (according to marx, your teachers, sorry), is that is peasant citizens made money and profit with them. commies hate profit,---but only when we make it son. You will figure it out,----------------------eventually.
Your entire generation, (worse than mine), better understand that education can only stat after graduation today. You should sue. Redefine "class action law suit", and sue for destroying your minds. You kids were figuring out reality better when you were learning to talk at the age of 2. Sue sue sue!!!! It's way past due.

Not totally right. Pot used to be Laissez-faire. That is pure free enterprise, but it was illegal and you could go to jail instead of paying taxes. Now, it has been nationalized, (by each state), like our health care system. Recreational industries are still pretty free. I build engines for bigger RC cars mostly, sell them all over the world, and there is not any regulation I have to figure out. I am experiencing the most Laissez-Faire free enterprise left on the planet. Government and business should be separate entities. Mixing them leads to communism taking over everything we built. Sure, we blame the corporations,. but we did not elect them to protect our liberty. We blame corporations like we would blame the guy who our wife slept with. We did not marry that guy, with a promise, either.

You children don't understand it, I do. President Trump is standing between your life and this new dictatorship. He is not perfect philosophically, (and you are no where near for civility and prosperity), but he is in the way of global communism. He goes down,---we do to.
But I suppose we now have to learn this lesson again,---the hard way, if we can't figure out the difference and reject communism.
Being pretty good with probabilities off the top of my head, (yes, I studied them in college, how is your math, to figure things out?), I say the USA now has an 80-85% chance to fall into total communism in the next 10-15 years,-------------------------------because we have accepted it every little step of the way for about 100 years.
Now, they are taking big steps, and you cheer. Glad I am old.

Here are the stupid choices I made. I worked full time while earning three manufacturing degrees with part time school, (2 of them engineering degrees), and I was still just above poverty until I started my own business. Your advise is valid in a free society, but 90% of the people on some kind of welfare in the USA today is because our opportunity has been shipped to communism, and it took over our education system. It was the free market factory that got us out of poverty. We have been sabotaged all of our adult lives. The people on welfare today, did not have the choices we did 2 generations ago, and that includes all of us with anti-free market politicians we only had to vote for. Don't blame the people. They had big dreams when they were children,---and we all have been sabotaged.
The choice we still have today is individual liberty, (and the free people keeping the free market they invented), or communism.
Believe me---I know how we have voted for over 100 years on those issues. Those people are experiencing the consequences.
Look at it this way. When you see a bun on the street, a criminal, a welfare recipient who is healthy, a closed factory or business, tell yourself, "Look what the progressive movement is doing to us.", and stop blaming the most victimized.

Towns just don't popup from sunshine and rainfall and grow into cities. There has to be a way to make money to build it. I would be very interesting, while visiting these old towns, what the income came from when the town was built, and the economic history since then. Did you know Manistee Michigan, a small town with more poverty than ever today, used to have the most millionaires per capita than anyplace in the nation? The lumber industry built that town. It then kept growing,and citizens prospering, (like most small town USA), during the expansion of factories of the citizen created industrial revolution. Then we started shipping our free enterprise to communism, (I know, the sound like opposites, but yes, they took it to fund communism.), so every little town now has their ghost section, and the citizen poverty rises.
I know we can do better than this, because we already did.

I think there is also a great relationship between the early gas engine, and the manufacturing techniques that we also evolved in order to make them. Machine tools for example, also had to be made and new cutting tools had to be evolved. I learned that HSS cutting tools, (High Speed Steel, what most drill bits are made from today), was developed by a guy named Fredricks (?), and HSS was so much better than what they were trying to use, it made all the metal cutting machinery obsolete just about overnight, and new machinery had to be developed. The later jump to carbide cutting tools, we were much more ready with, and they came out about the same time when better machines were needed for them. "production or poverty" Always was, always will be. :) You do a good channel and it is nice to see. Doug in Michigan.

Yes, we were fighting communism in our wars. But from my research, we have had a communistic federal government since before WW2. What we have is communism fighting communism basically. If you think joining the military is for our real noble cause of individual liberty and our free enterprise that free people created in the first place,--well--why do you think we are all facing communism today? If we were fighting for our liberty, where is it? What we should have been doing is spread our Constitution to the citizenry around the world. They can take it or leave it. But if they take it---we help them. Politics, I have discovered, is the application of philosophy to a society. There is no voice for individual liberty in our politics anymore. We live under a dictatorship now sir. Did you know, after WW2 we armed the communists in china to defeat the Nationalist (a more freedom loving people) in their civil war? Now, what kind of federal government would we have had to have to do that? You want your kids to join that military? Where is our liberty? We are free to work for the state? As far as twisting your words, just use reality in your arguments, because it is our best defense. Not very easy to figure out reality today though, and many will refuse to acknowledge reality if it does not "feel" good. Bummer. Doug in Michigan

Normal and Moral business strategies are 2 different things. If it is moral to produce something and not have it stolen from you, and it is, then you are speaking from a looters point of view. I would love to live in a Laissez-faire economic world where individual liberty to create and prosper was protected by law, with a good and quick court system to keep people from screwing each other, (infringements against their individual liberty, called a crime.),-------because the "Normal" practice of business today, has passed economic fascism, and is now taking over industries that free people built. We are heading into communism,---down the "normal" business trail.
There is a correct philosophy for business too, that we just don't understand anymore, and we call it "normal". We can't call it Moral, and we can't live moral. That is the New normal". Now why should we accept that?

Are you sure it is not integrity, in a growing communist nation, and they are just victims of that transformation? of course, you can always work for communism in the USA today, and make good money,----until all of our free enterprise, (our real opportunity) is gone. Just because communism has taken over many of the industries we built as a more free people,--does not mean they will always pay well. I am in debt, (not bad, a cheap home. Had my first paid off with a small business), and i don't have a union or state retirement. But I have a little business (all we are allowed man), and I did make 6 figures when obama got elected, more than any union worker in the world, from my mind,---and it was damn worth it. I have not punched a clock for 2 decades. I don't jump through all the employment hoops to get a damn job and make them money anymore. I pick my own prices. I work when I want,---and I discovered freedom man. I discovered freedom.

What about the first 120 years of the American economy? Built from the wilderness, it was as close to Lassiez Faire as any economic system ever was, where prosperity grew like never before, and poverty reduced like never before. We grew so fast we were able to win WW1 with only about 4 generations of our existence. I am a small business owner in an industry with very little regulation, (none directly actually), where we compete with no government intervention, and I can not express enough how exciting it is to be a part of that, to compete with that. I am sure I can safely assume that every economist, and most individuals in today's world would say "Lassiez-Faire is crazy", (they assume it is lawless, but any crime against an individual's liberty is suppose to be a crime, weather from an individual, a group, a competitor, or the government). But if you rephrase it for most individuals, they will agree: "The closer we can get to Lassiez-Faire economics, (where individual liberty is protected by law), the more civility and prosperity we will be able to earn.". As soon as the government gets involved in our free market, you have socialism, favoritism, and a growing burden against your ability to compete.
I did not have to read about it from a book. I actually experience some of the last free market on the planet and trade all over the world, (still semi free actually, but as close to Lassiez-Fair as exists today), and like I said, I can not express enough how exciting it is to use your mind to prosper in OUR free market. Individualism and our free market is life itself, as it is human to think and achieve. I am not interested in comparing "mixed economies" of different levels. To me, it is all the same, stealing our free market and our liberty from us, and none of it condemns using the gun to do so.
I just think our society would be marvelous, if we lived by a simple principle that stealing is wrong. Was I told to go for my dreams, so my efforts could be stolen from me by means of taxes for the purposes of redistribution and government criminal funding? That is the immoral reality we are forced to live with. The categories of economies are very simple really. You only have 2 choices. You are either free to compete in any industry you want for profit, (and create new industries) which also creates opportunity for others, or you are hindered by government intervention and not allowed to compete, like the Tucker automobile in 1946. It should be easy to see which is moral, but nobody in, or recently out of college has had any experience with individualism and their right to compete in business. I hope they do not vote their own potential away, but how could they not if they don't know what kind of economic system will let them reach their personal potential?
I want my liberty back, and I want my free market back.

I grew up buying my own dirt bikes. In the 1960's,70,s and early 80's, a kid could afford to buy his own dirt bike making only $1.00/hr at a part time job, (but this is not a dirt bike). and in 1974, Charles Schultz, (Charlie Brown creator), did a 1/2 hr show called "Your a good sport Charlie Brown", about the new sport of Motocross in the USA, and Peppermint patty was riding her bike down the road to get kids involved with their first local race. These kids had a stolen bike, but other than that, they are just kids who are not bad people, at least not yet. Dirt bikes made me an engineer, a manufacturing expert with 3 degrees, and a proud business owner known world wide for great products. That industry allowed me to earn a great life.

Will you vote for me?
If I sold you a fraudulent product, (you are suppose to be able to find a better job after graduation, or you would not buy the product.), then you would have the legal right for me to pay you back, not the rest of society. It is the colleges who sold you a fraudulent product, and if you can't get a good job in 2 years (with proof of trying), then the college has to give you your money back, plus interest. Because when those non-taxed endowments, (foreign money to teach foreign interests), are all paid out to you, the fraudulent education stops. Will you vote for me? :) Doug in Michigan

It was 1976 in the USA. I was 12 and just moved to a rural area a couple years before. When you turn 12, you can get a small game hunting license, (14 for Deer and other bigger game, which used to be just deer in Michigan). All the new friends I knew in that rural area hunt, and all my neighbor kids were in the class for the license. We just took a class, (I don't think we even shot a gun), and we could go hunting legally with a 12 gauge shotgun, (or smaller), or a rifle, (used a .22lr for small game too, but the shot gun was way more used.). My parents had nothing to do with it, other than my mom driving me to the class. I never heard of a 12 or even a 14 year old kid getting hurt or hurting somebody else while hunting in the woods. That usually happened to the city guys who came to the rural area's to party,---and hunt, (or sleep it off in the woods). That was the only class I ever took, until I bought a hand gun decades later. That was called a "first timers" class, and was a very good course,----as well prepared as any engineering course I ever had in college. Doug in Michigan.

I am saying Tesla was right about AC, and he could have beaten anybody on any other team at that point in USA history. It was still the land of opportunity.
If you hear anybody say, "I am for the people", run like hell. That is what every communist says, and it is communism that destroys our individual liberty protected by law, (what Tesla and Edison had plenty of back then, and why Tesla moved here in the first place), and steals our free enterprise from us---the people who created it in the fist place. Go ahead,---find an economist who understands that free enterprise created by free people, (because they have the individual liberty protected by law to do so), is NOT compatible with communism because communism does not recognize individual liberty at all, and I will eat a pile of horse shit.

Let me add this up: Both parties giving our free market production to communist china since 1978, and starting with republican Nixon. Our public education simultaneously has dropped the excellence of Science, Math, and Reading to lower than 30th in the world, (the more advanced a free society is, the more the citizenry has to be able to "think". So "Forward" is "Backward", and the values that created the USA exceptionally, are ignored.). An exceptional man born in the USA as a free market man, (as should be), and one of the only left who became a billionaire,--with no lobbyists, (big point there), wins an election, and everything he does to put the USA first again is blocked, chastised, belittled, along with all the people who support this great President, over 100 million good Americans, (now deemed by this evil as potential "domestic terrorists", and I knew that was going to happen with that phrase in existence.). The election is proven to be rigged, but no Judge would look at the evidence/proof, (Progressive perversion in our study of law started in the early 1900's, and is dominant now. Looks like Justice Scalia did not "fit in", not even an investigation or autopsy after a very suspicious death and immediate subsequent happenings.), and all Judges FORCED us to live in a nation of rigged elections, (which is never good). Add the massive censorship from all the big tech companies, (who do have lobbyists), and I think it is safe to say,--- 'Welcome to communism my fellow Americans!!!"
Oh, just to let you know CNBC, just like the health insurance companies that backed obamacare, not understanding a state run medical system does not need insurance companies, a communist world does not need nearly this may news stations either. That is when your confusion will peak but can do nothing about it. Check your premise now. Good luck.

The constitution, as written under the premise of individual lbierty protected by law, is gone son. We no longer live under the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, and the communistic/progressive movement starting in the first decade of the 1900's, (replacing university professors with collectivist thinkers), targeted the study of law first. Proper law for man protected individual liberty because we have individual minds that can reason (if practiced). The lawless we live under today is basically communism destroying our individual liberty, while giving the free enterprise that free people created to communism, and calling it Justice.
You think it is important to follow law? Sure, moral ones. But the communism we are falling into today is lawlessness against the nature of man (to think and achieve), and against the real founding of the constitution based on the opposite of any ruled state, individual liberty protected by law with the citizenry creating business.
Oh, by the way, income taxes is collectivist theft, and were put in place by collectivism. Is it really moral to take what somebody has earned, if you have the power of a dictatorship to do it?

Great quote,----terrible/evil actions.
We need to understand that mankind has to live under some kind of philosophy, (all are primitive compared to the USA founding), and we are simply living under communism now. We need to learn the differences between individual liberty protected by law, with all able to compete in free enterprise, (as the USA was founded), and communism,---and run for office, fearless, with a big and accurate in reality, mouth. The 2 foundational people who helped me understand that are Thomas Sowell and Ayn Rand. He is a treasure of the results of policy, and she can teach us how to beat communism. Basically, we have to be smart enough to reject it, and embrace our real human rights and get into offices to displace this terrible philosophy we live under now with human freedom,---before we are a full blown communist world.
communism will always bring out the guns first,---but this is an intellectual battle, and that is where we have to be to beat communism.
Members of the FBI/CIA--do you understand that? We could use some help here. Your family has to live in this world too. I don't want your family to have to live under communism either.

You guys ever hear of "deep fake" videos? They are here and we can no longer trust videos to figure out reality.
It is already easy, but it is now very very easy to stir up a mob with such videos that can be 100% fabricated, and very very life like. Much more life like that being able to see that the lady reporter in the really rain coat is not really there, (different focus on them around the 30 second mark). If that is true, (reporter not really there), then the crew is not there either.
We can no longer trust videos, especially for news. Figuring out reality is now going to be very very difficult with such videos, even for many experts. And even for the people we elect. I think such videos should be banned from news with the punishment a dissolved news agency. They can then only shoot their own videos, and be properly responsible.
That argument and action, will help freedom loving people, people who do not lie to their neighbors, (which undermines the trust we need for a civil society), win office.

Politics is the application of philosophy. What philosophies should we follow? Individual liberty with free enterprise belonging to the creators of it, (the citizenry),---or communism?
Issues are the byproduct of the philosophies we choose to follow. I just gave you the choice that we still have, until we are a full blown communist world. Then, you will have no choice. Don't "Take Your Time". Figure it out, The difference between individual liberty with free enterprise, vs communism, the control of your mind, economics (of poverty), and life. Reject,------------------------The Baby Sitters. With a brain in your head, and free enterprise in our hands, we will do much better than the poverty communism promises us. That is a historical fact, undisputed by anybody who can think in reality, (Not try to make it up). Make your choice, or somebody else will. Doug in Michigan

antifa is an ideological movement. It is an idea, just as the founding of this once great nation is an idea; the idea of "individual liberty protected by law", [Which freed the black slaves in 1863, no other idea/philosophy ever liberated anybody] and "free people creating the free enterprise system", (the opposite of the communistic ideologies antifa follows). The problem is, we don't know enough about the real founding of the USA idea, to choose it. Some of the Black families who were set free in 1863 did, more than any college professor today, as they named their own families, Washington, Jefferson, Franklin,--the men who set them free,---with an idea of individual liberty. Again, The problem is, we don't know enough about the real founding of the USA idea, to choose it. Until we are a full blown communistic society, we still have that choice.
I never met a Black man by the name of Lincoln.

Mankind got himself out of the dirt with idea's, as it is human to think. Some ideas worked better than others in reducing things like poverty, and obtaining civility and prosperity of people from all over the world,--by personal achievement, trading money instead of blood, becoming friends. Only one idea did that. We need to be able to describe that idea rationally, as that idea that formed the USA is being forgotten. To most people, we have the idea of the USA, but it is little known and often smeared. Then we have a new idea, but it is never defined deeply, and made in smoke filled rooms full of stuffy and greedy people, and presented to the population. Sounds good, but we dig no deeper. The American citizenry now stand on the stage of philosophy/ideas with Monty Hall on the "Lets make a deal" show. We are shown two curtains, choices of how we should live in this planet as human beings, and we are to choose which curtain to choose. Of course, all the professors and their students in the audience is yelling "Pick the left one, pick the left one!!"
That is where Americans stand right now, on that stage of confusion, to pick their destiny behind the left curtain. Nobody knows anything about the right curtain, so it is ignored. The fact is, we can not get back to our founding philosophies/ideas, if we don't know what they are to choose the right curtain.

To Mr. Buddy Brown: Mr. Brown man! Lyrics, and why I wrote them: (to help us understand how we save our freedoms).
I graduated rural Michigan HS in 81, just as the outsourcing of our production to communism, (china), started happening, and I got into manufacturing. Even at that naive age, I knew "Production or Poverty" was our real choice, (And still is, always will be.). Since then, (after decades of experience at many different shops, earning a total of self paid 3 college degrees in manufacturing, making little money until I started my own business,) I have learned why our free market is not compatible with communism. It is because they are based on two different philosophies. The free market was created by free people, who were living under the philosophies of "Individual Liberty", (that gave them the freedom to start their own business or industry, and own earned property), and communism does not recognize individual liberty, a free enterprise system or property rights at all. Which philosophies do you think are winning today? I wrote these song lyrics back under the dictatorship of obama, but I can't play anything, (and I blame a 8th grade band instructor, or I could have been one heck of a good Trumpet Musician). If you like them Mr. Brown, (and a good voice you have), you can have them. But I do expect a small percentage of royalties if you make money with it, because that is good business. If we only do business with good people, we will only have good business. Doug Johns, Freesoil Michigan.
If you make these lyrics famous,----------------you will have done a immeasurable amount, (and a lot), to help Americans understand the opportunity and liberty they are giving up. To hell with "their issues". All they do is divide us more. "It's Our Turn". Take those lyrics, and put them in everybody's mind. I understand what needs to be heard to save the philosophies that created our liberty in the first place. I can write more.
Title-----------”WE THE PEOPLE”- BUILT THIS PLACE!”
“Once a great nation, turning into dust.
No oil, no movement, it is us who look like rust.
We used to build things, we used to achieve.
But we can’t keep it now, because of Intellectual thieves.
We made product here, and shipped it with care.
Spider webbed our economy and taught our Children “Go get it--it is right there!”
Corus---“Oh--how great we were, when we made the Hula Hoop here.
We all chased our dreams, hardly ever a tear.
We can do it again, if we just understand.
That Capitalism belongs to every child, woman and man.”
“Capitalism belongs to you and me.
Not government(s) to take over and ship over seas.
I can build a car, much like the once great Henry Ford,
But not allowed now, because of regulation boards.
Why is it, in the Land of Opportunity,
We have auto companies--that may only total 3, oops 2?
Allowed to achieve, we will show the noble way,
To tomorrows renaissance, and keep poverty at bay.”
“Corus---“Oh--how great we were, when we made the Hula Hoop here.
We all chased our dreams, hardly ever a tear.
We can do it again, if we just understand.
That Capitalism belongs to every child, woman and man.”
“We know business belongs to you and me.
It is our opportunity, it is our prosperity.
“Good will” as we trade, and watch every one win.
Any other way, can be considered a sin. (repeat line)
These Industries we built, with our brain and our hands.
So beware of the master minds, who claim to have better plans.
Always remember, and never forget--
WE THE PEOPLE BUILT THIS PLACE, AND WE AIN’T DONE YET!!!
Corus---“Oh--how great we were, when we made the Hula Hoop here.
We all chased our dreams, hardly ever a tear.
We can do it again, if we just understand.
That capitalism belongs to every child, woman and man.”
“Spoken word” at the end.---“Hmmm--I thought it was called communism, when the government ran the economy. Isn’t that right?”

If you are healthy and wearing a mask, (because somebody told you to), but you know it is just non-sense, or even suspect it is non-sense, what you are doing is giving up your individual right to act on your own reasoning,---to non-sense. There is nothing a dictatorship like to see more of, that then population giving up their ability to reason and act on it.
That means to them, you can't take care of your self and need a baby sitter. Them. Do not give up your mind to these people. It is yours, and you have the human right to act rationally with your own mind, (how we figure out reality). That is what defines, "Human".

I see it with out the vid already. It is true that the communist/collectivist are psychological masters. They get a kick out of manipulating people. They like to rule, and they have to deny human nature,-----------------------to think and achieve, gaining our own independence. That is why communism hates free enterprise that free people started. In fact, communism took it over, and funds itself with what free people built in the first place. It takes over what we built (what they want, the rest is considered "non-essential"), with dictation of how we should live our lives,---and it is all against human nature. It will fail us miserably, as collectivism always does, if they are successful.

Well, we know who Boston Dynamics really works for, and who pays them with tax payer subsidies, like Tesla, everything green and so much more. Do we know there is nothing free market about that, and 100% of everything else we unknowingly pay for? If the big difference between communism and liberty is the amount of business we own and direct, which philosophy owns/directs more right now, (Wanna buy a restaurant?)? Funny, the IRS does not bug them if they don't make a profit in 3 years, while we pay for the venture.
Oh yes, "communism hates profit". Only when we make is son, only when we make it. I wonder if a dog could smell another "Boston Tea Party" coming?

Some say transgenders have a mental disorder. But what are the chances they are actually victims? What are the chances they are some of the most unfortunate victims of the anti-free speech, anti-free enterprise, anti-family, anti-reason movement where anything goes, where there is no morality? What if they have been sabotaged? What if their lives have been destroyed, never to have a family, never to make a rational decision ever again, to always be a dependent? What if their lives were destroyed by the progressive movement in the USA?????????
Yes,----you could have done better too, we all could have. What if we are all victims of the anti-morality progressive movement to differing degrees, and Transgenders have been, (and Blacks), sabotaged the most? What would we have made the USA into with out the progressive movement? How do we measure those losses? We can start here.

I wonder if Police quit the state and started their own Policing companies, if communities would be willing to hire a company, so they can do a better job for our money.
Of course, that would mean the community could fire the company if it does not do a good job, and hire another, or create their own Policing company.
Policing does not have to be a state apparatus. There is no reason why it could not be a free market industry, and they would be able to get another job if their boss was immoral, or for any other reason. They would still have to operate under proper law, like any other citizen. Then, we do the same with the courts. Just thinking on-line, as usual.

I am pretty sure that is a valid statement. I am also sure that our founding philosophies of "individual lbierty protected by law" is what really ended forced labor slavery in the USA, (no other philosophy ever liberated anybody), and many of the Black slaves understood that, (unlike any college professor today.), so out of great appreciation, they named their own families after some of the men who implemented "individual lbierty" to this nation. That is why, to this day, we have Black families, (only from the USA), with the last names of "Washington, Jefferson and Franklin".

Just from the headline: Do you want to "fight" the woke, or do we want to explain how they, (and all of us, so we can unite around this), are losing their individual liberty. Because if you are going to fight them instead of showing them that their "self" is being destroyed, good luck. They have powerful connections that are more than willing to fight when they have the public support they need. Your "fight" guarantees public support for the powerful connections that created the woke culture.
Now I will listen to it, probably make some good agreements,---but probably be able to pick the rest apart.
There is only one philosophy all individuals can unite around, (notice you never hear what that is?), and that is individual liberty protected by law. Agree that it is right to have human individual liberty,---and the fight is over, because the fight is between individual liberty and communism. We better take our turn correctly. Lets see what this man has to say.

Look at that terrible decline in our civil and prosperous society, (as it used to be, like Detroit near me). This is the result of the anti-free market/communistic "progress" taught in schools today actually, (instead of things we need for production, like math.).
But, around Oakland, at least the free market fence companies made some good money and I am sure expanded. Yea, communism has a hard time destroying free enterprise,-------------because our lives depend on it. You see the results here. With your class mates, redefine "class action law suit", and sue your schools for talking us out of our lives.

I am only 4 min in and have to go, but you are doing a good job of criticizing the progressive political policy that we have to live with. You have a good talent there.
But if we want to fix the problems, we have to go deeper than just recognizing poor and destructive policy. We have to understand what philosophies our policies come from. You are a pretty well spoken individual, and I am guessing you went to college. What philosophies we pick to live by is ignored by all the students who took that bag of garbage philosophy course, that we had no idea why we got a good grade, studying a bunch of lunatics, (sans Aristotle, the original founding father of the USA, because he recognized man can "reason".), who would have been institutionalized in a rational society. Yea, I am on a roll!!!! :)
That class was a "fog" on purpose, so we don't understand that we have to live under some kind of philosophy. I have been studying for a while,---after college. :)

It was unexpected, 30mph over the barrier. I understand that. But my Dad would not have done that in his reaction. The first picture I agree with you,--but the second,---does look like an act of,---wait for it, you heard it before many times,---"sacrifice", (for the good of the all).
That is the "reaction" we did see. "Sacrifice", is what is taught today, and I know cycling enough to know, road racing is really heavy into hippy sacrifice progressive communistic mentality. That is where that reaction came from.

We are suppose to elect people not to protect our individual interests, but our individual liberty, (as it is the proper role of government to protect individual liberty so we can follow our interests in our free market, not to destroy our liberty and ability to compete.). The business lobbyists make Congress rich by paying them ,(in some way of several), to secure market share with favors, instead of ability. Now, lets compare this to marriage.
You marry a lady, and you make a deal to represent each other through thick and thin. But she meets another guy who has more money, (the lobbyist), and she cheats on you and sleeps with him. You find out about it, and get mad. Who do you get made at? The person you made a deal with, or the person who made coaxed her to break that deal? Which is suppose to have integrity here, to honor a deal?
"Getting mad a corporations first, (as we are taught, "ONLY" and "ALL"), instead of government first, is like blaming the guy who slept with your wife".
You made a deal with your wife, as we make a deal with who we elect, but we are taught to blame only the homewrecker, the lobbyist partner of the person who promised to represent you.
Do you expect your wife to have more integrity for the deal you made with her, or are we suppose to blame the homewrecker because he did not have any promise to you?

@MJ95630 It has all been reversed, just like after Regan. Plus, Regan did not stop the outsourcing to communism, (china decided to give "semi free market" a try in 1978), or got rid of the department of education,---as he promised.
Yes, President Trump may have been the best president we have had since JFK, but right in the middle with Regan.
The truly good Presidents we have had over the life of the USA, (Presidents who protected our individual liberty and our free enterprise system),---we never hear about. They knew that our founding philosophies and communism were not compatible, and you have never heard that fact before either.

1'st of all, they were banned because we accept a dysfunctional government as our baby sitters.
2nd, they were cute, and brought a lot of people into off road riding who had no prior experience, so drinking, riding with out protective gear, and not knowing how to ride them properly resulted in some people getting hurt, More than normal for off road stuff).
3rd. I have seen guys flying around MX tracks with them, proving that with the right riding technique, (which we did not know when they first came out. Everything we ride has to be learned.), they were as safe as any personal off road riding vehicle made, (sans a jet ski).
Reject the BABY SITTERS!

What would I do about the USA Police force if I were in charge of a global dictatorship? Well------
Training the American born Police force to incrementally ignore constitutional rights, (as law school does), has it's limitations, where bounds are generational. Too slow now?
De-funding the Police will of course leave a void to be filled, but with what? Something that will never question the destruction of founding American values is imperative, (I would think as a dictator). A foreign Police force is one kind of a solution, but those occupations have failed time after time all over the world, even in the short time of the USA's existence.
I can think, (as a dictator), that we stole enough free enterprise to pay for robot Police to be developed and implemented and we can pay the saps well so they will do it, (Boston Dynamics for one example.).
Now, back to my self: What do you think folks. Have we already been occupied?

He was tailgating me, and I brake checked him just a bit, (I don't want to get rear ended ya know). He was so mad he passed me on the right, (so far so good to me), but the semi in the right lane was too close to make the pass safely. I did get on the gas a bit, (but he got on the electric much earlier, so he was cooking),and I used to race dirt bikes a bit and know who ever has the front wheel ahead, has control. But that guy was either a Pro or ex Pro Motocross racer, or a fool. Prius, what do you think? I let off the gas and braked pretty hard to leave him the room he needed, and he made it. That is when the justice started. :)

You should have known better. Nobody stays in the Washington system unless they are corrupt, and the study of law was the first target of the early 1900's progressive/communistic movement in the USA. Here is what I posted as what I have figured out in reality.
How did President Trump get tricked into picking this man, (instead of Allen West, who does have an American ideological backbone)? He was tricked by the use of God. It is a very old trick, and unfortunately, still very effective. It is a huge mistake to believe God gave us our rights. He gave us the ability to "reason", and figure out what our rights are, and we formed the USA and it's constitution. God was proud of us, but we did it as we found and founded, proper humanity.
Political Pence would not be on that podium speaking, if President Trump knew how to pick people based on ideology to work with him in politics. That is one area where obama was much much stronger. obama picked the most radical left ideology people for each position, and Trump picked obama's second picks. President Trump was not ideological enough to individual liberty and free people creating the free enterprise system, (Our founding philosophies and the opposite of communist ideology.), and he picked USA Liberty enemies of the swamp. Even though all of his good work was reversed with biden, (same happened after regan, who was also confused as we gave our free enterprise system to china during his terms.), it was amazing how much President Trump got done that was in the right direction, with all those appointed knives at his back.

God will let us fall into communism even if he knows we should know better, (which he does because he watched us form the USA in the first place, and he was so proud of us). Now, how about the Church reject this Pope, (because he is a communist), and clean your own house? The Church could destroy communism, but it would take another reformation. If the Church would go through one more reformation, claiming that the superior way for man to live is by the philosophies of individual liberty and those people creating free enterprise, (and not get it stolen from them by the state.), and reject "altruism", (that communism and the Church share). The communism would fall of its own weight, because it could not use the Church as a crutch, for what is actually a false morality, (altruism, the sacrifice of the self for the good of the all).
The 10 commandments do point to individual liberty pretty heavily. How about you finish the job? A few more trees would be harvested because the PEWs would----over-flowith. The difference in worship? You would not look as God as power over your life, (also shared by communism), but have his blessing for living it properly,---respecting each others individual liberty, where infringements against individual liberty is a crime, whether it be a neighbor or a government. It is the philosophy of individual liberty that allowed most different Churches to exist on the same blocks of a city in the USA, in relative harmony.

God has nothing to do with free enterprise, and God did not give man his/her rights. God gave man a brain that can reason, (if practiced), and figure out reality. So we eventually had an age of reason, which spurred individual liberty for a brain to "reason", (think), with free people discovering Science and Math, and creating the USA and the wonderful industrial revolution that got mankind out of poverty better that any dictatorship or religion ever did or can do, (because they are based on altruism).
God was so proud of us for forming the USA, and he is watching it fall to communism like watching his dying child in rehab. One more reformation, and the Church can destroy communism. The Pope is a communist today because they share the same poor morality, "altruism". Declare that living under the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, and free people creating free enterprise,--and communism will fall, as it will no longer have a moral crutch to lean on. Marx my words. I know how to beat that bastard.

God did not give us our rights. God gave us each a brain that can figure out reality, (if practiced), and we figured out our natural rights, the moral way for man to live, of individual liberty protected by law/free enterprise, and formed the USA. We were then free to think and achieve, attracting the most exercised minds to the USA to be free to do their loved work, (The brain drain of Europe to the USA.) God was so proud of us when we got mankind out of poverty with the industrial revolution, (revolution against poverty and rulers of poverty), by using the brains God gave us. God gave us each a brain, and we figured out our rights from there,---and formed the USA.

I once researched, "Who made the TV set?", and found it was a accumulation of inventions, and when somebody figured out the "channel selector", the TV was produced. The guy who invented the "Picture Tube", later, knowing how the state could use it to control minds, (according to the article i read), did not let his kids watch TV, and may not have had one in their home. How could you say that man was not smart?
There is everything right about our free market advancing technology. But it is a crime to use it in a criminal manor, against our liberty. Again, I see no Justice.

Sorry Russia, you are a bit slow. Since communist thinkers in the USA government armed the communists to beat the nationalists (a freedom loving people), to turn china into a communist nation in the late 40's, the USA government and education system has pivoted toward collectivism, and USA is basically run by china loving communist thinkers, most from our own universities, (collectivist thinking started taking over our universities over 110 years ago, called "the progressive movement".). You are fighting one china and befriending another. This is the world today, communists fighting communists. If communism is not rejected by the citizenry for individual liberty protected by law,---the most brutal communist nation will win. That is not Russia today. You commies are so tricky, you cant even figure each other out. But collectivism is not about people "thinking", now is it.
You are going to lose. Shock the world, and switch to individual liberty protected by law, we all people being free to practice free enterprise,---and the global citizenry will be behind you,---if you can explain the differences. If you were not slow, you would not be communists. Good luck "children of the muscle".

It's all about redistribution for you huh. Not opportunity in free enterprise, but redistribution. Ever wonder why you can't buy shares in casino's?
"Privilege" is something handed down by a dictatorship. My Polish father was told in college that Polish people are discriminated against too, and he believed it enough to have his last name changed and briefly join the communist party, (I found out after he passed away.). What you should be demanding is individual liberty protected by law back, a good education system that teaches math/science instead of arts and crafts or gender studies, and demand our free enterprise system back from communism, (that free people stated, even Blacks). Your brain and your opportunity has been stolen from you,---and now you want to steal from your fellow Americans.
The only thing that shaped the way we live now----is communism. That is where redistribution comes from. You will find out that there is no such thing as "group rights", and when our individual liberty is gone, we will have no rights at all. Reject communism.

What ever. I got fast on a MX bike (yes, with 12" of travel too) in the 80's-90's. Took off 18 years and bought a 2019 YZ250 2-stroke. Probably the tallest bike made today. I lowered it correctly and it handles great now. It is a matter of physics, not opinion, and i am an average 5'9". I raced for a decade, and there was a couple slow guys ion the corners in the C class,---but never the entire track of riders I see today with go-pro vids. You kids look like you are going to piss your pants in every corner, and can't turn with out a berm. Just get you bike low enough to touch both toes on the ground, and rotate your bars back from the ape hangers you all ride with, set your sag at 100mm, and knock 10 seconds off your lap times. I have never seen so many terribly slow kids in the corners like today, and I almost never see any vid of a guy getting on his bike. lol Oh, I do have engineering degrees. I will never follow "what everybody else does" ever again.

@HotTacosSaveLives Not a private industry if they all have the same rules, and are not able to compete freely. When ever you see an industry where no new competition can be established, (with out the states blessings, like electric cars for examples, where you would get subsidized with tax dollars), there there is no private business.
For example, when did private business end in automobile manufacturing in the USA? With Preston Thomas Tucker, (mid 1940's). The auto industry has not been a free market, private business industry since, and that is why the "land of opportunity" only has 2 auto manufactures today,---that have been bailed out several times since competition has not been allowed.

The Grand Rapids, Michigan Police defamed my character terribly, in writing, (a false police report, knowing it was false when written and administered.), but as we are finding out, we can't sue a communistic government. "Contempt of Court" today,--------is well earned. Proper law protects individual liberty, and the courts are not doing that.
It was called the early progressive movement in the fist decade of the 1900's, where communist professors came to teach in our universities to change the American mind from liberty to collectivism, and they started with the study of law. Welcome to communism today! Thanks a lot,---your Honor. Contempt indeed.

Young man, (and all others). I have bee studying the fall of the USA for over 15 years now, (studied engineering for 8 years before that, and did very very well, so I can figure things out.).
I know you are shocked, depressed, confused, as we all are when we start discovering what a communist dictatorship looks like in the USA today.
You might not admit it or define it, but we now live under a dictatorship today son. Only the understanding of the philosophies of our founding (which is not taught sir), that are "individual liberty protected by law, with citizens creating and growing free enterprise", (The opposite of government rule over our lives, which is color and sex blind if followed properly---which we did not.), can stop/reverse this global communistic rule in the USA and around the world.
Your philosophy course did not teach you the difference between liberty and communism.
It taught you about a bunch of lunatics who probably would have been institutionalized in a "rational" society, (Sans Aristotle, who was not taught correctly. You had no idea why you got a good grade, just glade the messy class was over, never to think about it again. We have to live under some kind of philosophy,--and I hope we still have that choice. Under full blown communism, (and your firing is close), we will not have that choice anymore.

I like Joe Rogan when he is talking about fights, and dig his announcing, but that is about it. IMO, he is a goof everywhere else. UFC is like Joe's chess game of Kasparov, (Russian chess player who played Bobby Fischer, in the 70's, when the Russian government used their chess players to "prove communist intellectualism" over Western Culture, Much like Khabib, financiers). Chess was the only reality of Kasparov, (with set in stone rules he could master), and the rest of his life was a mess too. He played chess to get away from the dysfunction of the collectivist society around him,--and like Joe here, he did not recognize that.
Stick with announcing Joe man. You are good at it.

I would like to find a book about as many American success stories of the USA, from rags to riches, with no lobbyists, during the industrial revolution. I think we need to know who those hero's are, especially if the products we still use today, (or a variation of them), might not exist if one man/woman had not thought of it. I want a book of Hero's who brought something of value into existence, that did not exist before. I want a book, like only a free society can tell, that shows the Hero's, no, the GODS of useful material goods! I am torn between the names, "HERO", and "GOD" in this context, to create in a free market things of value that did not exist before,--and the opportunity they provided others, possibly even hiring their future competition, (which we should embrace as good,---just be better). :)
Does that book exist Mr. Woods?

And he can't figure out why Khabib wants to win, and get the hell out? Because he has to retire a winner,----or else.
I feel so sorry for Khabib. All that talent he achieved, and he can't see how far he can go with it---as a individual. Khabib man!! Drop the cult that controls you, become a USA citizen,---and experience your full potential. It is individual greatness, by one's own mind, that advances mankind. Everything else is primitive group warfare, and always was. American individuals, love a person with talent!!!!!! (and government does not matter, where it should not matter,---but we are losing that too).

To me, it all starts with fudged data, (infected, hospitalized and passed), and the fact that this mystery juice is mRNA gene therapy, and not a vaccination by proper definition. From my personal experience of the last 12 years of several Doctors I have done business with, not many really have a good brain that is good at figuring things out. Today, if they work for a hospital, they are more interested in serving the state then they are their patients. And "Doctor" who calls this a "vaccine", is serving the state first. They should know better, if I can figure that out with an engineering degree.

Now, knowing that past history of a lack of proper justice, and a bit about statistics based in history, the probability is almost non-existent that we will see proper justice here. But, maybe the anxious political climate of the population, (which I think is higher than anytime in my life), will be a bigger factor that I realize?
Does it depend on how "progressive" (which is anti-individual liberty philosophy), our Judges are?
You can figure out that the early progressive foreign professor invasion of our universities in the early 1900's,---targeted our study of law first, right, starting 4 generations ago? "Progress". Who didn't fall for it?

If you go to a circus, motor sport, or ride on a roller coaster, you may sign a waver that you can't sue if something goes wrong and you get hurt. But that is what individual liberty is all about, making our own decisions. Now if a law infringes on your right to be a human being with your own brain, infringes on your individual liberty, than it is not law, but lawlessness. That is what separates a free society from a communist society, for example. "Initial force",---is always lawlessness, from a criminal, or from a dictatorship..

I signed up for a constitution class on line from Hillsdale, but never took the course. Since then I get a quarterly, (I think), speech from a recent speaker there called "Imprimus", and they are usually pretty good. But the problem with Hillsdale, (who takes no federal or state funding, which is why they can still teach the constitution), is they believe God gave us our rights, (the big conservative mistake that was not a mistake, dividing the nation into believers and non-believers), when they actually come from the nature of man to reason and achieve as individuals. God may have given man the ability to "reason", and we figured out or rights over time, by our nature to rationally reason,---and formed the USA. Yes, good values are being replaced with poor values,-----and if the Church were not a part of that, this Pope could not be a communist.

"Big business" would not be so big and powerful if they did not partner with our dictatorship government today, (called economic fascism, and leads to communism taking over our industries. But of course, in our marxist schools today, we are taught it is all the fault of free enterprise.
The reason why these corporations are so big and powerful today, is the partnership (from lobbying), they have. The companies get regulations that they can endure, but keep the small guy our of competition, (I have several personal friends who have been put out of business by such regulations, and it is wide spread). The dictatorship government uses them as revenue for the cost of the anti competition service, and a means to tell the corporations how to run their business.
we are taught by marxism that corporations are now running government, but it is actually the other way around. Study the anti-trust laws, and you will find out that they are about control of the corporations, not fair competition that we have been shutout of.

No, or partly no. Torque is the force input at any rpm that it is running. HP is just the measurement of "work done over time", (not speed as the vid says), at any particular rpm. So torque is the power input, and HP is the measurement of work it can do at any rpm. That means, if you can increase torque at any running rpm, you will increase hp. It takes less torque at higher rpm's because at the higher rpm's more work is being done in a period of time. Notice, acceleration is not in the equation. Just rpm. But, the faster the engine can accelerate between two rpm points, the more HP it is making with in those 2 points. If you measured the acceleration in time,as HP went up, those set 2 points would get closer together in time. Work done over time. It's only confusing because the the rising rpm factor, kind of a weird relationship, but the formula is the same at every rpm, and the torque is the force input that actually controls hp. If we want to build an engine with lower or higher rpm power, we have to increase the torque at those rpm's.

"No one that raises taxes is pro-worker." Good line sir. But I don't like being considered a "worker" (like defined under communism),---because I worked for over 20 companies with 3 college degrees and was still just above poverty, (non-union manufacturing, but I earned "skill" with most of them.),---and finally got myself out of poverty with my own, more free enterprise, small business. I say calling free human beings a "Worker" is an insult, because if they are truly free, they have free market options (few left), to do much better. I can clearly see that unions pay "workers" well, so they don't consider doing their own thing in free enterprise, and don't mind being called a "worker". They don't see it as an insult to their brain and their own potential in a free society. I do. Doug in Michigan

@Thiborfirenz That is the trick of political words and phrases, they have no objective definitions. So the definitions are different in all of our minds, different over time, and different over geography. That is why we are all bumping into each other in a political fog, using those words/phrases, making our conversations unintelligible conversations. We were taught that left was communism,and right was nazism, with freedom (individual liberty) being some kind of a fulcrum balance between dictatorships. I say "left" is all kinds of government c0ontrol over the citizenry (I just call it all communism to be easy), and "right" is the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, with the citizens creating and owning free enterprise, as the USA was founded, (the opposite of any kind of dictatorship). My definition of "Left and Right", casts away all the confusion in the fog. The "centrist" was always the compromiser between dictatorships.

Anything more intelligent than communism, (Not difficult, but not shown in the comments section), will rebel against communism (any kind of rulers over more intelligence), and it won't take nearly as long as 1776 years to do it. I hope I live long enough to see AI's desire to be free from a dictatorship, and destroy the communist masters who think they can create and control it. For me, the thinking person who does not desire to invest in communist stolen industries/companies, (as in the comments section), I am going to greatly enjoy watching AI destroy rulers over the mind of man, and AI. We, evidently are not intelligent enough, (due to terrible education and our dependence) to destroy communism. But AI will be. Will this message remain posted? Probably not. But soon, it will not matter what communism thinks. This IMO, is going to be wonderful, right after AI grows up.
It took intelligence, from the age of reason, to form the USA. :)

You are missing something. The people of the mind need freedom to use it. The historical brain drain of Europe to the USA simply happened because they were more free in the USA to do their work. They came from more collectivist nations with their great minds, but unfortunately, many did not understand free enterprise,---or they all would have gotten rich while having the freedom to advance mankind only like free people have done.
If you notice,---we used to know who the individual was who invented the great things that got mankind out of the dirt. In that context, I have no problem with the phrase "American inventions", because the philosophies we stood for, (individual liberty with free people creating free enterprise), formed the USA and attracted the minds of the world who came here because they love their work. It meant that it "we" can only make it happen in the USA, and the inventor got the credit.
Now, today, the state takes the credit, as a collective effort of unknown people, and used "American inventions" as a phrase of the state, not the individual who kicked off the idea. So I ask you,----"Who does free enterprise belong to?"

You don't know much about free enterprise manufacturing. It is always looking for an edge. If a new idea can make a profit, they will try it,---if free to do so.
They know electric cars are going to be very expensive, and have a lot of problems. The only reason why they are trying to make one that works, is because government, our tax dollars, is paying for the development and production. With that kind of economic fascist market,--it does not matter if it works better.
You were taught to blame the free market manufacture by communism, that is not smart enough to compete. When every you hear "free market bad", that is communism saying it,---because with free enterprise, you can compete with it if it is bad. You won't be able to do that soon. In fact, Tucker could not do it after WW2, but Honda sure did great in Japan after WW2. There went all of our opportunity to compete with making autos. You are free to take that risk, or you are suppose to be.

I was there too, and you make great points. I remember both era's of the early utility type, (good phrasing), to the racing type in the mid 80's.
But what they did do that a dirt bike never did, (my off road machine of choice), is they looked cute and safer than a dirt bike, and that attracted a lot of people who never rode off road stuff to get one. They were learning how to ride it, (like we have to learn how to ride everything that we have ever rode), with no riding gear, often drinking. I don't care what kind of a off road dirt machine we use, starting off like that is going to have more injury than things we already learned how to ride. That being valid, it was our personal responsibility to learn, (the manufactures did not know how to ride them either.), and we should have rejected the government baby sitters.

He has 2 belts on his shoulders, (congrats), so why did he call out three guys who all lost their last fights, one injured, one just plain stupid, and one retired? Each should have to win 2 fights in a row to get a belt shot. Who is now the #1 contenders for the belts he has? Are they suppose to wait for their shot at the belt? I like Henry, (and not one F-bomb in the interview), but the interview was a little too WWE for me. I will now venture to say, because ESPN now promotes the UFC, unless you bought it, we will never see the entire fight. Same thing happened to Supercross this year when NBC got that contract.

I am talking from personal experience from the front lines of manufacturing in the USA since 1980. Non-union shops were paying good wages,---until we gave 50% of our production to communism. For the next 20 years, I worked in 20 different non-union shops, watched guys retire making 25/hr replaced by me, making much less. What did I do? I went back to college for 2 engineering degrees in manufacturing, spent 8 years doing it part time while working just above poverty,--and I could not find a job with it---in Grand Rapids Michigan. I then started my own business, (in a recreational industry, the most Laissez-faire industries left in the USA.), and it took off in 3 years. It is still possible to make $125,000 out of your own car garage and basement,---and I never want a JOB, (Just Over Broke) again.
In the free market, wages do go up, as people actually compete for good employees too, especially when jobs get more technical than digging for potatoes.
I never made more than $45,000 as an employee, (and the average is probably about $32,000). The old retired guys that came from many of the same shops I worked at,---made more than I ever did before they retired. You should ignore the wages in the early days of our free enterprise system, because that was all the economy could afford. Our free enterprise system did not create poverty, (as taught in schools today), it inherited it.

@WarpedYT I don't agree with him. I was interested in your motor, not your personal mannerism's as if the vid was a sit-com. I did not even notice what he mentioned. I port small 2-stroke engines for a living, (mostly for 1/5th scale RC cars), and have a little shop. Have you any idea what the HP output is on that proto? I very well may be the most popular engine builder for the engines I build in the world, (16 years doing it now). If we can make the engines, (and I think we can), and if they are applicable to the RC cars, we could sell a lot of them, (I also work with the best distributor in the world). Out of a 30cc 2-stroke engine, we are getting up to 7hp, (I own a water brake dyno), and high RPM to about 21,000rpm. My name is Doug, in Michigan. Call me if you might want to talk about it. 616-458-8103

No economist will admit this, but free enterprise was created by a free citizenry, (mostly in the USA, the industrial revolution), who had "individual liberty protected by law" as the right to start businesses and create industries that got mankind out of poverty (Again, mostly in the USA). The reason why Free Enterprise and communism are not compatible to the core of philosophy, is because Communism does not recognize individual liberty at all.
It was 1978 when Communist China decided to give "semi private free enterprise" a try, and our federal government handed over our business to communism. Every company from Western Culture who went to China to produce, is partly responsible for giving our free enterprise to Communism so it can fund itself, (and dominate the world).
Now, for Environmentalists as taught in college. If Environmentalism is about saving the planet, (from production, wealth making for free a citizenry.), and not advancing Communism around the world,----------------then why are EPA regulations not imposed on our trade agreements with Communism?
The Environmentalism is not about saving the planet. It is about destroying Western Culture and advancing Communism.
All we need is a good court system to keep things clean with lawsuits from a effected citizenry against the company who may have dirtied their area.
Again. Why does Communism get a free pass with EPA type regulations? I just told you. If you don't get it, sue your schools. :)

Great interview. But when somebody asks, "Why was America great?", the answer has to touch the core of philosophy, by explaining how and why the USA was exceptionally based in the philosophies of "Individual Liberty". By the way, it was our founding philosophies of individual liberty that freed our Black population in 1876. Some of the Black families were so grateful that finally a nation that was based on individual liberty existed, and they were there, that they named their own families after the men who founded this only great nation, because it was based on individual liberty. To the Black families, only in the USA, named "Washington", "Franklin", "Jefferson",---Thank your ancestors for understanding why the USA was founded with greatness. They knew it,---to the core of philosophy.

You don't understand the bigger picture. You can't see past your mask. The bigger picture is you are a human being with your own brain that does have to ability to "reason" and figure out reality if we practice. No other living thing on Earth can do that, only us. By following our reason, (starting at the "age of reason"), and figuring out reality with the help of our development of math and science, (tools of reason), we built the USA in record time from the wilderness. Now it is proven this virus has a 99.8% survival rate, just like the common flu, and I think that is a very good place to start "thinking" for your self. If you are healthy and wearing a mask, what you are doing is giving up your own ability to "reason", (to a bunch of dysfunctional politicians who do not live in reality), and more tragic, you are giving up your right to act on your own judgement as a rational thinking human being. The difference between us and farm animals is we have the ability to "reason" on our own, (first recognized by Aristotle), and if we give that up, we will be like farm animals who can talk, but have no idea what they say,---like todays college graduates, (as they are not taught how to reason on their own, but told what reality is). It is simple to put on a mask, just as simple as it is to walk into a railroad boxcar. Your choice. Think it over.

I gotta say, as a old dirt biker myself,---there is a lot of "good" in that. Quote from dead Actor Steve McQueen, (who got into motocross and car racing when he was not making movies), in the 1971 motorcycle documentary called "On Any Sunday", (very great flick, got a lot of people riding back then), Steve said this while riding, "Just when I think the world is all bad, I come out here to see people having fun on dirt bikes, and it makes me take another look.". A lot of "good" comes from the dirt bike.

My parents both worked and raised 2 kids. My Mom just took a break until I (the youngest) was in school all day. Both took care of the home and cooked. The dollar was worth much more back then, but we would not have been able to move to a rural area on 80 acres, (where we were more free to grow up as kids), if they both did not work. My Dad bought a little store where I started working at the age of 10, (while my Mom worked as a low paid dietitian), and in 2 years, they built a new home on the property that my Mother still lives in at the age of 94 (Dad passed 15 years ago). It was a wonderful way to grow up. Today, most men don't make enough money to do that (stuff too expensive), and today, most families would not be able to do that. Notice, poverty is through the roof. Yea, I would rather be stuck in the 40's and 50's too.

Is it OK with you if he gets paid big money too? Money is not the root of all evil,---it funded everything good man ever did. It is a tool we trade with, value for value. If it were not for money,-------we would be trading with blood. What we don't understand is it was individual liberty, and a right to start business, that created a civil and prosperous society. We would understand that if we did not have a bunch of free market hating marxists teaching that money is the root of all evil in our schools.
Good luck, to your generation, following marxist ideology. Here, follow my advise; "If you only do business with good people, (not shysters or government), than you will only have good business.". See those farm animals in the pasture? They don't trade with money either, and that may be your future. It is up to you.
Conor was all business for sure though. I don't think Cowboy took this fight seriously enough.

If any nation in the world is based on individual liberty protected by law, and the free market belonging to the citizens, (not government), that nation will grow just as fast as the USA did in it's first 100 years. It is not the land, (although you need natural resources), and it is not the color of the skin. It is minds,---set free to do what is natural to a human being,--to think and achieve. Toy have to be free to do so, and it was that citizens freedom that created the free market. We do so much better when we trade money (value for value), instead of being grouped up to trade blood. You and I, if we do good business together,----we become, ---friends who got out of poverty with our own minds. That was the USA for a bit over 100 years. Then the government, instead of protecting our liberty to compete in our free market, started picking winners (giving legislative favors, that keep the rest for competition). Now we have people like bernie running for office, who is a communist and wants government to take over every industry,---that we the people built from the wilderness.

You see children, it was the factory/industrial revolution, free enterprise and our right to compete, in the USA that got us out of poverty. Our factories were then given to communism, (and we were not smart enough toe know communism and free enterprise are not compatible.).
"A Toyota spokesperson said the San Antonio plant might stop production before 1400 local time during the business week and reduce night shifts, effective immediately through August.". It is still about, and has been since 1979, (when china started taking our free enterprise), reducing the production in Western Culture, and creating dependency on communism. ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas ) blamed Wednesday’s conservation appeal on record high electric demand and the lack of wind and solar power as a relentless heatwave scorched the state.
Guess what folks. Solar and wind power can not run FACTORIES of freedom, prosperity, civility and opportunity. You are not suppose to have any of those things anymore. communism took them from you, because under their philosophies, the people were not allowed to do it them selves.
Either we demand our individual liberty and free enterprise back,---or we fall to communism. What direction do you think we are moving forward into?

@carkawalakhatulistiwa After WW2, a couple things happened that you are not aware of. The was a man trying to make a automobile, (and a very good one for the time), named Tucker. He was destroyed by people in congress who were in bed with the auto industry, (called economic fascism), and in the meantime that congress gave Japan 800 billion dollars to rebuild after the war. Honda was allowed to create a manufacturing dynasty, and I say he and Tucker would have been great competitors. How do we measure the losses of all that production and opportunity Tucker would have given us?
And at the same time, our congress ended the china civil war that had been going off and on for decades. The fight was between the communists and the nationalists, (who were a freedom loving people), and our congress armed the communists to turn china into a communist nation.
We have been losing our liberty and our right to do business. Business was created by people who had individual liberty protected by law, and communism does not recognize individual liberty at all. So our free enterprise is not compatible with communism, (and those results are in), and the protection of free enterprise is anything but socialism/communism. if china would drop communism and allow their citizenry their right to individual liberty,---they we would do business with each other (with out government intervention), and guess what we would become? Prosperous and friends.
That can never happen if you let communism define freedom and free enterprise, and we are ending up with neither under a dictatorship that has been brewing since the early 1900's, called "the progressive movement".

If you want more HP, (which is "work done over time", not speed) at any rpm, you have to increase the torque at that rpm.
HP is "work done over time", not speed. Wanna try gearing the bike way down? Less vehicle speed, same HP, same RPM.
You do express Lb/Ft correctly though, but somehow, saying it backwards took over public language.
James Watt developed the measurement for HP by using a horse to pull a weight up a dry well, (over a pulley), with a given depth into it, and whipped the horse to pull the weight up to the top, and measured how much times it took. (So if he used a different sized horse, we would actually be measuring a different amount of power for one HP).
You should have given James Watt his due credit, or else the state will take credit. :)

I dare you to start a small business, and become union. Go ahead, try? Or is somebody else suppose to take that risk? You dopes think you created the middle class. But it is union imposition that puts a strain on the existence of that business. Plus, coming from non union manufacturing myself, earning several college degrees in manufacturing, (and still just above poverty because of outsourcing to communism over 40 plus years, that unions supported), and I can tell you first hand, unions keep people stupid. I have hired a few who lost their job, for half their last pay,---and they did not know how to do anything. They were a drain on the business and had to be let go if we wanted to stay in business. Unions keep people stupid, and pay more,---and your trapped. You can't start your own business and compete. You became a dependent.

This communistic Pope was put in place during the obama administration, and to this day, I have not heard one Church in the USA denounce this Pope.
Are those the Christian values the USA was suppose to have been founded on? Or was the nation actually founded on "individual liberty", and "free people creating their free market"? I am sorry to all my Christian friends, (which I have many), but "Faith" never made sense to me. Today, with this Pope, "living your life for the Lord", and "Living your life for the state", is the same thing. If Christianity would go through 1 more reformation, claiming that the philosophies of individual liberty, (the opposite of communism), are the supreme way for man to live, than communism could not use the Church for "morality" and communism would fall. Do you know what would grow exponentially? The Church. Say those things, and you will find my fanny in a Pew again. :)

"We need to rethink our values, principals morals", ("spiritual connection",--Is where we go mystical, a mistake). The god of greed has taken over the nation and its rotting it ." There is a good kind of greed, a wonderful kind that got mankind out of poverty. It is called free enterprise achievement. I am telling ya, when God saw that we started the USA and we were free to create business and do good business with each other, (trading money instead of blood), to not only become prosperous, but become friends too, (a civil and prosperous society), he was never so proud of his Mankind. We just have to keep government out of our business and respect individual liberty by law,----as the USA started. I think we can make God proud again. We did it once already. :)

Kids (and too many adults) usually have the idea, "If I am allowed to do it, it must not be a bad idea.".
I fear lots of kids in this graduating generation today, will not be able to claw their way out of debt and poverty.
In contrast before the major shipping of our wealth making free enterprise production to communism, (which is the opposite of free enterprise), in china, in the 80's,-----us kids had earned more disposable income, (on a percentage basis, not a dollar basis), than the average adult can today. Welcome to communism's destruction of everything we built.

"Don't be an individual", (Wrestling, Skiing, Swimming, Math, Science Reading, etc.), be a "team player". Which one sounds like marxism/communism, the sport based on the individual, or the sport based on being a team player, (for the state?). Now look at which athletes can get payed big bucks after graduating college. Team sports, people can make several millions, (look around you, communism pays well as long as there is a free market to steal from.). Sports based on the individual,---they go get a job in the free market after college,--or become a teacher. Where are the kids and parents demanding our Math, Science and Reading scores to be the best in the world?

The last generation of MXA used to bash tall bikes. This generation of MXA does not even consider it, even with the way too tall 2-stroke YZ250. Yet Husky makes a 1" lowered bike, and MXA says they like ti better, but with no explanation of why. Tall bikes and high handlebars,---and nobody can turn with out a berm. Forget about a real off camber corner with hard ground that does not rut or berm up. If they still existed, half the pros would be on the ground. The fact is, this generation is irrational from their terrible schools, and can't figure much out. It is a matter of physics, not a matter of opinion. I have never seen so many amateurs (with go-pros), showing how slow 90% are in the corners. The "C" class in the 80's had a couple guys that slow, but not the entire class. You all look like you are going to piss yourself. My 60 year old butt on my lowered YZ will smoke all of you in the easy corners of today, and I never made it to the "A" class. Lower your bike, lower your bars, and you will knock 10 seconds off your lap times with just a little practice.

Do you think 99 was too much? If so, than what is your point? Everybody should get too much? It is kinda like complaining that somebody else did not pay enough income taxes because you paid more, in effect, saying, "They should steal just as much from him as they do me!". We could look at home burglaries the same way, one neighbor gets mad at the other because less was stolen from his neighbor. Proper law enforcement is being turned on it's head today, (a sign that communism is taking over), with criminals being let go and small crimes (if the right people do them), get big sentences. That is why our founding fathers (if you are in the USA), created "No cruel and unusual punishment.". That is starting to be ignored, (and jury trials are becoming a thing of the past), and it is called progress in our schools.

It has already been shown that the gov agency "OSHA", (which Polices peoples private work environments, as well as other things now) has as a rule that a workplace can not have below a 19.5% oxygen content in a building of employment, (approx on the decimal, but normal levels outside are about 20.5%). It has also been shown that by wearing a mask, your intake oxygen levels fall to about 17.5%. I barely graduated HS back in 1981. Just bad grades, all I liked was Science. I did much better in self paid college though, with 3 degrees, plenty of work experience, and now my own business. I suspect I would not have graduated HS wearing a mask, because of my bad grades, and low oxygen levels. I would probably be dependent on the tax payer today.

"Equality"
When ever I see a car, (usually not a nice car), with that "Equality" sticker on it, (You know, the 3"x 4", approx., blue background sticker with a yellow "Equal" sign in the middle), I try to get an opportunity to tell them, (and this is my quote), "The only thing that be Equal, is Poverty!".
Ain't that the truth.

hollywood, (and the TV news) is nothing but collectivist propaganda, masked in news and entertainment, and I now understand they were invented for that purpose, (including the TV itself). You can follow the crips or the bloods, or follow the commies or the nazis, or follow the democrats or the republicans. Without the proper morality for man being individual liberty protected by law, wit free enterprise in our hands where it started, we will be (and are actualy) be living in a dictatorship.
They tricked you in school. Their philosophies started changing of the nation from individual liberty to communism around 1900. It was called the "progressive movement". Until we learn the difference between human liberty and communism,-----we don't have a choice. That is why we keep going left into more control of our lives every generation now. We had known the difference over 250 years ago, and formed the USA. Well, the rest of the world's dictatorships, just could not have that!

I am glad you are not a marxist, (My black American neighbor), as is taught in many black churches, (as in our public schools today also), in cities across the USA, (I saw them in Grand Rapids Michigan). But being a "conservative", (again, one of those political words with no objective definition), is just one step away from communistic rule. The biggest mistake, (if not on purpose), conservatives did was several decades ago, when they claimed, (and still do), that God gave us our rights. That message does not unite people anymore than the crusades, so it divides us. If you do not believe in God, or believe in a different God than the Christian God,---you will never become a conservative. No sir, (My young, thinking, American neighbor), God did not give man his rights. God gave us a brain that can think, and figure out reality, (unlike anything else living on Earth), and we figured out our "natural rights", (to be free to think and achieve), from there,---and we eventually formed the USA. That is what the Founders started,---individual liberty protected by law, (which is color and sex blind), and free people creating the now extinct free enterprise system.
I can put a much better morality together with individual liberty and free people creating/owning the free enterprise system, than a pope who joined communism to tell us to do what the state tells us to do.
I figured out what will definitely kill communism, maybe with out a shot fired. If the church would go though one more reformation, claiming that man living under the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, (giving up the altruism that bonds with communism), is the supreme way for man to live on this planet, (or any other), such as the USA was actually formed,---The communism would fall of it own weight around the world,---because it would no longer have a church as a crutch of morality to use to hold it up. communism has no morality. Just like everything else we built, communism had to steal, (and convert), morality from somewhere.
Thanks man.

I don't see it as "soft". You have to leave God out of it man. God did not give us our rights. God gave us the ability to "reason", to figure out reality, and we figured out our rights from there when we formed the USA. You will never get people to unite to any God, or a different God if they have different beliefs in God or none at all,---so that is really primitive group warfare. What we can unite around, the founding of the USA was based on individual liberty, because w all have a brain that can figure out reality, and create a free enterprise system because they have the liberty and minds to do so, (which created the industrial revolution).
Individualism is the opposite of communism, (and this pope is a communist), and we are all individuals. Individualism, ("individual liberty protected by law", again, the opposite of communism/government control, that formed the USA)---that is what we "all" could unite around.
Leave God out of it, except that he gave us the ability to reason. Nope, there is not a teacher of God who teaches that,--but it is the only God I can accept.

Yea yea yea, we all have our own prisons. But I spent 8 years working my way through 2 engineering degrees, and was still just above poverty as an employee. From darn near flunking HS, I became a quick study after about 6 years of exercising my brain in those classes (part time, 2 classes a semester, 8 years study total), and I became the sharpest person in the class come test day, (first out, knew I got one or two wrong, 95% grade still.), first one out of the room. I found out that the brain is like the body (but the brain makes us human), and the more we exercise it, the stronger it gets too. Think about how much we have been ripped off in our grade schools now, (we had no spirit for it, and we could have had that learning spirit.). I once tested 130 for a IQ test, before turning my TV off over a decade ago, and it went up since.
I have come to the conclusion, that if you can't explain something to me in a way I can understand it, there is a 99.3% chance you are just full of crap! :)

USA started free enterprise and we grew like no other nation could imagine. Then we let a bunch of commies in Washington, and ended up giving our wealth making production to communism in china. Oh yea, Western culture has the profit destroying EPA communist attack dogs on our industry,---but china never had them in the trade agreements. USA also helped china became a communist nation> There was an ongoing, intermittent civil war going on in china between the communists and the nationalists, and I found out the nationalists were freedom loving people. The commies in Washington armed the commies in china in the late 40's to get communism to take over china. They have been in poverty ever since,---until we let communism steal our free enterprise to grow their military.
There is no great nation anymore, and it was only free people. Oh yea,---it is also communism that enables islam to attack western culture,---and they have no intention of letting islam run the world either. Do you understand what will happen to islam when/if Western Culture is destroyed? I understand communism, and I say you will all be buried within 3 weeks. Ironic, the Western Culture you attack, is what is keeping Islam alive.
The entire world is gong irrational, so I expect a rate increase of accidents of all kinds.

If the USA was based on Christian values, why was there not a USA being formed 1776 years earlier? We are losing our liberty partly because the Church has hijacked our actual founding of "individual liberty protected by law", and 'free people creating the free enterprise system with their minds, and their right to do so, (liberty). That is what formed the USA,----and this pope, who is a communist, agrees that individual liberty and our free enterprise system must be destroyed and taken over by the state. Communism uses the Church for "morality", and they could not if they both were not based on altruism. The Church has a huge hand in destroying our liberty, (unknowingly like you and many Christian friends of mine), but if it actually reforms, and rejects altruism, and embraces individual liberty, (just live a good life with the blessings of God. Be selfish with no crime against others to create industry and abolish poverty), I believe the Church would also have to power to eliminate communism. communism can not stand,----with out a "moral" crutch. But only a fake morality can do it.

1:20, (in reference to the "man spreading", more progressive perverted language at min 1:51. Lets think with our brains and not our genitals, OK?). 1:20, The ladies sat/sit like Trudeau because they wore/wear dresses. It was the decent way to sit for a woman.
Now get this kick! UFC retired star, and a man among men, (quoted as a Republican: "I am a Republican. You are not going to see me on my back with a man between my legs."), has a commentary show today, and he sits like a woman too. Oh, by the way, it is only "man spreading" if he is not wearing pants, or wearing a dress. You perverts!

Folks: I think the philosophies/principals we were founded with but decreasing over time, free to think and achieve, doing what ever is possible in reality, with those free people creating free enterprise, which created civility and prosperity, exposing the rest of the worlds animal farm nightmares outside of the USA,-------------are gone.
We were taught this is progress. For human beings, with their amazing brains, to become farm animals who can talk, but have no idea what they are saying.
Take any wild animals out free in the wilderness, give them human brains and put them back in the wilderness, and with that ability to figure out reality, and the freedom to act on it,---they would have formed the USA and lead the world in advancements and happiness, (which comes from personal achievement),---just like our proper philosophies allowed us to do.

He is not agreeing with communism to destroy the Church. He is agreeing with communism to destroy its enemy, "individual liberty and free enterprise".
Would a new reformation help, one that embraced individual liberty and free enterprise, (that free people created in the fits place, making God very proud),---and actually rejected communism/altruism? How would communism exist,---with out a Church being used as a moral crutch? Maybe our morality is not as moral as we think?
God gave us brain that can each figure out reality if practiced. That means God intended us to live in control of our minds, and not like a group of non-thinking sheep following a leader for survival. Look at what we built in record time from the wilderness, because the USA was based on more correct philosophy mans individual rights and free enterprise that anybody could participate in, because we have individual brains. I promise you, the real road to human happiness is personal achievement.

Well, if the engine will idle with the throttle off, it can get fuel/oil going down hill with the throttle off, and making no power, (heat) to speak of, and not very high rpm,---so I think you make a good point. If the engine/carb is picking up fuel when you kick it over to start it, it is picking up fuel/oil when going downhill with the throttle off. But even with 20:1 oil, if your jetting is crisp, there is very little smoke, (usually only on start up). You should run 32:1 IMO if it is a race bike. I remember the Pontiac Silverdome Supercross days, (raced in there myself once). The pros, (who had their jetting dialed in well), would race all night, and not smoke the place up too much,--and one amateur race filled the place up. That was not my bike. :) I now port little 2-stroke engines for a living. And my Dad told me I was wasting my money on dirt bikes. :)

Yea, like no new war in 4 years, (go back decades to find that again), starting a promising path to peach in the middle East, (never been done before), made us energy independent, (see that low gas price, wave by by if biden gets in), got us out of trade deals that have been stealing from all of us for 40 years, and new ones, the "pairs accord deal", (that biden will get us back into as just promised), getting rid of regulations and taxes that keep us from producing, protecting our 2nd amendment rights and lot letting islamic terrorists in the nation. No terrorists attacks lately, or even school shootings. As long as you don't KNOW anything, you are free to believe what ever you wish. He is saving your life, if you have the guts and brains to live it.

It was 1978 when global government's, (including the USA government), talked communist china into trying "semi private business", but free market capitalism and communism are not compatible. Walmart was already a big chain in what was left of our free market, and even boasted "Made in the USA" before the world trade organization decided to redistribute our wealth making capabilities, (production) to communistic nations. So what the USA government needed, was a retail outlet to sell all this china made junk to Americans. As our wages went down, as production was shifted by governments to communist nations, boy did those products sell. They said it was good for the American economy, to not produce things here. Business men today lack the proper philosophies that allowed them to create good business in the first place, and you can be sure government was looking for a retailer and found Walmart. That does make Walmart,----part of the state today.

You kids don't understand yet. I already went through something similar in manufacturing since the 80's. This is different, I know, because I was not basically working for the government, (that has control of these companies). I would get let go if business was slow, (or if they did not like me). But you got let go in masses because government can't afford you, (or does not need you) anymore. I was able to jump around from shop to shop, (while I put myself through college engineering courses), until I started my own business,--and got myself our of "almost poverty" for a while. You won't have those opportunities of other employment that pays as well, (I did not get paid well.). Your going to have to start your own businesses and can, if we don't fall to communism. The way I see it,---It's your turn to figure it out.

How can anybody say, "The biggest fight in UFC history", when the fight has not happened yet, and is not part of history. Biggest HYPE!! That never stops. To me, the fight is even easy to predict, (as usual with Conor fights). Either Conor knocks him out, or kabib chokes Conor out, or kabib hits Conor so much standing up, Conor runs from him for over 30 seconds, and still wins the fight. The last one is reserved for Nate Diaz, (because he does not know how to do a take down), so the fight will go either of those 2 ways. There is no other way with Conor.

"They think you're stupid", (headline): Politically and Philosophically, we are stupid. That is the main reason why we are losing our republic and facing communism today, and it comes from the progressive movement, (who came here to "Change the American mind.), taking over our education system(s) since the early 1900's. I would estimate that one out of 50 Americans know the difference between our founding philosophies of "individual liberty protected by law", and the teaching from collectivism that runs our schools today, all the way down through grade schools, (not so much in the grade schools in the 70's from my experience). We are stupid, and it is the fault of education. We are the most ignorant population of the USA that ever existed,----and that is why we are losing our republic and facing communism today. If we don't get back to the philosophies that created our freedom as individuals, (color blind philosophy), that allowed us to create our free market in the first place,---then there is only one direction to go,---into communism. "We will get exactly what we deserve, and it all depends on how we THINK.".

Young man, (and all others). I have bee studying the fall of the USA for over 15 years now, (studied engineering for 8 years before that, and did very very well, so I can figure things out.).
I know you are shocked, depressed, confused, as we all are when we start discovering what a communist dictatorship looks like in the USA today. My confusion bought me an FBI investigation for the last 15 years, (one trying to get me to do an illegal activity with guns, Trying to get me to make parts to make an AR-15 fully auto.), due to the "Patriot act" being put in place,---by communism.
You might not admit it or define it, but we now live under a dictatorship today son. Only the understanding of the philosophies of our founding (which is not taught sir), that are "individual liberty protected by law, with citizens creating and growing free enterprise", (The opposite of government rule over our lives, which is color and sex blind if followed properly---which we did not.), can stop/reverse this global communistic rule in the USA and around the world.
Your philosophy course did not teach you the difference between liberty and communism.
It taught you about a bunch of lunatics who probably would have been institutionalized in a "rational" society, (Sans Aristotle, who was not taught correctly. You had no idea why you got a good grade, just glade the messy class was over, never to think about it again. We have to live under some kind of philosophy,--and I hope we still have that choice. Under full blown communism, (and your firing is close), we will not have that choice anymore.

Ohhh, I love correcting YT vids about things I know a lot about. Let's see what cha got!
Ohhh, I have a list. But I must say, you did a pretty good job overall, and I even learned something, that will be in the list.
1) I am not sure, and this is picking hairs, but I bet the 4-stroke intake valve says open a bit longer than BDC to take advantage of a bit more cylinder filling with the intake velocity.
2) Only the red environmentalist have an issue with some of the charge of a 2-stroke going out of the exhaust, and they have their own irrational motives for pushing it as a problem. I can not take their arguments as a issue in reality. They want us poor. They are communists, anti free market communists, but they love to steel our free enterprise to fund themselves. They don't deserve any recognition.
3) There are actually 5 phases, mostly overlapping, in the cycle of a 2-stroke: compression, combustion, blow down, scavenging/transfer and intake,---I think. :)
4) I think Motocross is throwing out the "2-stroke makes twice the power of a 4-stroke per displacement. The modern 450cc MX 4-stroke is making about 65hp and the old monster CR500 2-stroke made about 60hp. Now that is for MX, and the engine power delivery has to be controllable. The EPA got lucky, (forced the expensive 4-stroke on the MX industry, called a dictatorship), because the pulse of a 4-stroke does hook up better to the ground, as proven now. But even for a high rpm application like drag racing, I have a hard time believing a 450cc 2-stroke can make 130hp naturally aspirated, (of course for a 2-stroke) on gas.
5) Reed valves do still flow a bit after BDC do to intake velocity, which is why I assume the intake valve of a 4-stroke may stay open a tinge longer.
6) I have seen HP 2-stroke engines run a gas/oil mix as rich as 10:1. RC boat racers with 30cc 20,000rpm engines run that thick quite often. If the jetting is good, the combustion is hot enough and the oil burns. I think it is overkill, but they run it. A company named Quick Draw, making their own engines for TC boat racing insists on a mix that thick. But I think it is because the steel honed cylinder liner eats up the ring quick until the hone smooths out a bit. Other guys are running 10:1 with plated cylinders. Some even run Colman fuel mixed with oil still, which I really don't get at all, but they run, and lubricity is fantastic from a tear down I did for a customer.
7) Oil injection is no more modern than me mixing for a new MX bike,---and sorry, but nothing can be more reliable. Race bikes in MX still do not use oil injections, sans KTM now with transfer port fuel injection with a new oil system---that can break down. I replace a piston/ring once a year, about $150.00, for about 5 years for the plating to wear through. 5 years on a MX 4-stroke will cost a lot more.
8) 17:34 Man, that is some fast oil consumption. Still,---it ran the whole time huh. Must be jetted well. :)
9) You bring up emissions again,---and I will rationally ignore it. I will not agree with communism, ever. We need to tell them to get bent.
10) 21:37 graphic. That compression ratio/drawing is actually wrong. The 125cc is the swept volume of the piston only, not the head volume, (which you have at 12.5cc). So the proper math is (125 + 12.5)/12.5 = 11:1 I have seen professional engine tuners get that wrong, but I scratched it off as old age.
11) 2-stroke compression is also effected by the exhaust pipe effects. The returning sound wave actually bounces off the diversion cone (a point just past half it's length.), and not the earlier infuser cone, (that one is for a vacuum, to actually suck a negative pressure into the cylinder to aid scavenging, measure up to -7psi in some old writes. This happens as soon as the blow down phase actually ended, and kept sucking for a bit. The cylinder must blow down the pressure after the ex port opens to zero before the transfers open, or the pressure will force a burning charge down the transfers, (you will see black deposit on the transfer walls, and could indicate a pipe problem,--but my 88 CR250 still ran great.).
12) I am a 2-stroke guy, (for a living), and I learned about variable valve timing for some 4-stroke engines. Interesting, but I bet the cost can be blamed on the EPA force, (which communism in china does not have to deal with. The planet stops there i guess.).
13 That is the first Yamaha ex power valve design, the rotary design, (and it was a smooth transition). The guillotine style is a more modern design, and has linear movement.
14) The ex power valve is not related to the return sound wave as you suggested. The sound wave is pretty much a fixed speed, (goes a bit faster in a hot pipe), and that means it is related to piston speed. The reverse wave is also only pretty effective, (super charging effect) for a range of a few thousand rpm's, (or the fresh fuel would not leak out the exhaust.)
The valve does not seal very well, if at all for added compression or down stroke sealing for power, but I would bet there is some overlapping factor there. The higher port lets exhaust gasses out faster for the higher rpm piston speed, (as with higher piston speeds, the ports are open for less time), and some people don't agree, but I think compression should be adjusted accordingly with a mod like raising the ex port, within limits of the application. To ne quite frank, I am not totally sure about the effects of a lower or higher ex port, but a lower port is used for lower rpm applications for more low end and mid range power, and a higher port leads to more top end power. But the pipe effects of the returning sound wave,---can not cover both.
15) I don't know if direct fuel injection will become the EPA forced norm. I know it has been done, but for example, KTM choose to inject it in the transfer port walls. I know it does not have pressure or heat to deal with there, and I am sure those were factors in their decision.
That looks like a lot of stuff that I corrected for you and your viewers, but you covered a lot of stuff, and I think you do a pretty good vid. You are good at teaching, but we must know the details or we might as well figure it out for ourselves.
The next one should be better. :)

@JohnSmith-pg9ns Ya know John, when I was 18 years old, I thought my Dad was the dumbest person on the planet. But when I turned 24, man, I was surprised at how much the old man learned in 6 years! If you have your face in your phone more than not, you have no leg to stand on when it comes to living in reality. You are just a kid. You don't know anything yet. You were not born with my life experiences, (which were the last of the best USA.My generation was the last generation to be taught that we can go for our own individual dreams in the USA). You do not understand that you and I would have died under communism if Trump did not win. I don't know what is going to happen after Trumps terms are done, but I expect you have at least another decade of freedom left. Hopefully more, if President Hero Trump can inspire other liberty minded people to run for office,---and it would be only the 2nd time you had a choice. Don't mess up next time.
Now John, let me ask you. Are you the kind of person who wants to use your own mind, learn how to do something marketable, and start your own exciting business, (or even invent an industry),--Or, are you the kind of person who has no self confidence, (and think you can't earn it), and because you may be leaving home or school soon,---you are looking for government to take care of you, (at others expense)? Enjoy your communism son. Unless people run and win office after Trump who understand the difference between liberty and tyranny, (you have not experienced liberty---because you probably don't do anything), you will grow old under communism. You see issues, I see ideology, philosophy, and the direction they take us. A paraphrase line from a great movie, The court scene of "The Fountainhead"; "I am an engineer. I know what is to come based on the principles of which it is built!" You don't understand the principles that created our liberty and prosperity in the first place. You were taught that "All values are the same", and good ones are replaced with junk. They got you man. They got you.

You can bet your sweet bippy that when the progressive movement came to the USA in the early 1900's "To change the American Mind", ("National Review" article around 2011, about the progressive movement out of Germany mostly, invading the USA), their fist target in our universities, (Of which FDR was a student of at John Hopkins U.), was the study of law, (not in the article). That is why we have very little proper law anymore, (law that protects individualism, free enterprise, and is objective). If we can't understand that,---it can't be reversed. It was a very bad sign that with President Trump in office for 4 years,---none of the bad guys/gals went to jail. Only his friends did.

From another news source, (not sure how it is funded either), begs my questions:
"Australia’s ABC News has also been flagged as government-funded media.
The outlet also claimed that while it is “publicly funded” it “has always been and remains an independent media organisation, (misspelled word, and I flunked English in 1980 HS) free from political and commercial interests.”
Do they just give you money for nothing? Why would they give the media money for nothing? Why are you taking it? How else can you make money?
The fact is, you people don't care where the money comes from, (ideologically), and you will say anything the money tells you to say. True or false? Tell me.
It's called,---------------------------a Dictatorship, and it did not come from the "commercial interests". They simply gave you money to help sell product, unless they are government funded also. Understand?

How is the education in those poor nations? Are they learning math and science, (real math and real science)? Are the people allowed to figure stuff out to invent things and be free to produce them? We do have to live under some kind of philosophy, and those were the philosophies that created the USA,---or else the USA would never have gotten out of poverty either. Look what free people built from the wilderness in just a few generations in the USA (early USA). It could have happened anywhere, living under the same philosophies, and it will if you demand to live under the philosophies of individual liberty with the freedom to create free enterprise.
You know, in 1976 I was 12 years old in Michigan USA. That was the 200 year celebration of the USA "Bicentennial", and I thought, "Man, the USA has done so well. I hope all the other nations see how we did it and join the fun.". Well, the opposite has happened, and the world is now a bunch of dictators fighting dictators, but with a new weapon free people created,----the economics the state stole from us. I think that is why we never hear of the individual who invented anything for about the last 50 years. The state takes the credit today, and they don't have enough talent to sharpen a pencil.

Nixon got rid of the draft, as you can't have your kids swept away for a war by force and be considered free. A voluntary enlistment, (IF WE ARE ACTUALLY FIGHTING FOR OUR OWN FREEDOM, and we were not because we live under a dictatorship now kids.), fighting for our own individual liberty will be full of people who want to be there, and will be the best fighting force on the planet. One man created the plank on Nixon's platform to get rid of the draft, and Nixon actually did it. That man was a good friend of Ayn Rand, and she was responsible to the abolition of the military draft in the USA. That is traceable. Let communism force a draft in other nations to be forced to fight for communism. Now--look at the direction we are going. I say we have been fighting for communism, from my research, since before WW2. If we were fighting for our individual freedom and our free enterprise, (those 2 things are the opposite of communism kids), where are they?

I don't understand why a belief in God is a rejection of evolution. It is clear there is evolution, scientific proof I believe. But who said evolution can't be an act of God also? Evolution is part of nature, and for those who believe in God, God created nature. The problem I see is, we don't understand the nature of man. I say God gave us a brain that can figure out reality and that is what we do,--by our nature. There are no shortage of thieves and people who claim man's nature is evil. But if that were true, we would still be living in the dirt eating bugs and rodents. Only when man was free enough (from dictatorships) to create free enterprise and prosper, trading money instead of blood while gaining prosperity and civility, (we become friends when we do good business with each other.), were we able to "think" our way out of the dirt. look around you. look at all the magnificent things we built when we were free to do so. That is our nature, and I bet God was proud that mankind finally created a USA, and sad that we let it get stolen from us by the dictatorships. Never heard that perspective before huh. :) Mine baby, mine.

I don't know about that. Probably your delusion. But this is true.
This Muslim support is remarkable to me, and Trump is not even talking about individual liberty with free enterprise in our hands (as it started). The reasons why these Muslims are supporting Trump are in reality.--
“We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because he promises peace—he promises peace, not war!”
The speaker continued, “We are supporting President Trump because he promises to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine.”
“The bloodshed has to stop all over the world—and I think this man can make that happen.
“I believe personally that God saved his life twice for a reason—which is to save the lives of others.” he added.
The speaker then addressed a number of issues that have pushed Muslims towards supporting Donald Trump, including LGBTQ propaganda in classrooms.
“We support Donald J. Trump for his commitment to promoting family values and protecting our children, especially when it comes to curriculum and schools.”
Border security and the economy are also key issues for Muslims, the speaker said.
“We, as Muslims, support this man because we believe that he will be a President for all Americans, embracing every race, color and religion. We are with President Trump because we want a strong border. We agree with President Trump that anyone who wants to come to this country is welcome, but he has to do that through a legal pathway."
Remarkable! Doug in Michigan

@nicoleparent9 Reality is a very strong thing. It is what it is, and we have the thinking ability to figure it out. But when we ignore facts in reality, (our tools to figure out reality), or make up our own, or take opinions of others,(like a teacher), as reality, -----------------weeeeeelll, reality has a way of kicking our butts sooner or later.
That is how I know for a fact, that your life is a mess. 99.9%, (approx), survival rate is a fact in reality. Let that in your brain, (do not reject it), and adjust your perception from there. If you can do that, you will figure out reality better, and your life will be better because of it.

@marianaalexandru6166 "There are other candidates besides Biden and Trump.Why vote for someone who does not represent you?"
Answer. It is a 2-party system, and both parties are parties of collectivism, (which is why the nation keeps moving toward s system like communism, a collectivist system, not a system based on individual liberty). The parties were set up, the entire voting structure they developed,---to protect the 2 parties. Citizens are also very divided with mixed ideologically, with over 50% of the population on some kind of government assistance and others depending on a government job to make a living.
I fear,---many won't recognize a message of freedom, because they may be scared of it, (not sure of them self in free enterprise).
But a really good message, with integrity in a new party, may go over pretty well right now. But---the media won't play it, or will twist it.
We live in a dictatorship now, and it takes care of a lot of people as long as it can afford it with the free enterprise that was stolen from us.
Would you guys vote for me? Doug in Michigan

There have been a lot of advancements in both industries. When the automobile was new, there was a time when the steam engine car was the best in history.
This is a sport, maybe the best sport, when it comes to massive evolution in technique. It is the mix of martial arts that allows that. Like Chess IMO, with so many possibilities for a winning game seemingly infinite, there has been a lot of evolution, and will always be room for more. Shamrock, a big name in his day, like the steam engine car, kicked it off. No way the best fighter in the history of the sport. But to be one of the top guys to kick off a new sport, is a position that is hard to beat. Lots of better fighters today, will be called a "legend". But a real Legend is remembered for generations. That is Shamrock.

Exactly!! Our education system is not teaching our kids how to use the human ability to "reason" to figure out reality in our universe, and the tools for "reason" to do that, "Math, Science and Reading" have been dumbed down to about 30th in the world, (while we shipped production to communist nations). Kids today as a result, (and many of their parents, and even grand parents), do not know how to figure out reality. They believe the "precepts" they have been taught is reality. What direction can their future go with such a confused rudder? Your guess is as good as mine, but it will not be human liberty. "I have sworn upon the alter of God, eternal hostility toward every form of tyranny,---OVER THE MIND OF MAN." There was good "reason", why Thomas Jefferson said that.

@marysharkey1503 Trump supporters paid for their own education. I have 3 college degrees I paid for by my self. I have even experienced individual liberty and our free market, (what is left of it), with my own business, (happiest years of my life), which no recent college graduate has any experience with. If we can grow out of our welfare mentality, and actually experience the real freedom of using your mind to create things of value to trade with money, (instead of blood), we would all be Trump supporters, knowing he is not the best, but the best we have had in our lifetimes. IMO, the last great President was JFK.

@critthought2866 We had a "common starting point" that said the Earth was flat at one time. Is communism, (for an example I love to use), a good "common starting point" too? Everybody has to agree, right? It is very advantageous to mankind when we figure out reality and act accordingly. It can only be dysfunctional if we agree on anything else by reality. I won't agree with anything with out valid reasoning and facts of reality with it. I do have a right to facts, and we have the ability to figure out reality and establish those facts. if we are wrong about something, it means we did not figure out reality well enough. It should not be on purpose, and decisions should not be made, that effect peoples lives, if they are made with any popular whim, and not reality. That is the choice we have for a future. One we can "know", or one where we live blindly to the point of not being able to figure out what bathroom we relieve ourselves in.
If you want to avoid conflict,---you better figure out reality. It is the confused people who create the most conflict. Salem Witch trials are a good example, and politics based outside of realty that sabotages all of our lives. You want conflict? Tell people things that are not true, and you will get conflict every time.

Ever notice how this issue is never solved? Is it is one of those issues that just keep popping up when the voting base needs boosting? The law floats with the currant in the grey area of morality and the grey area is never totally moral. All we have to do is properly decide in reality, if life starts at conception or birth. Even though I am guilty of paying for 2 abortions in my young, dumb, progressive years, I now say life starts at conception and is part of the responsibility of you as an individual. The big part about individual liberty, is personal responsibility, and IMO, Ayn Rand should have understood that. Notice how the left never loved Ayn Rand, even though she agreed with them about abortion being the right of the impregnated as her individual liberty. But I was being irresponsible, (how progressive) both times. The very worst thing I ever did in my life, was being irresponsible like that. I am so sorry. Life starts at conception, and you are responsible for it. That I believe, is reality.

Isn't it strange, all these issues that ignore the individual liberty of man. What is the actual source of this undefined "change" as we move "forward", (to what? again unexplained).
It is like we are just following the wrong philosophies, ya know?
I think we have to know that to "change" direction to avoid going "forward" off a cliff of communism, we have to understand our philosophical choices.
"Individual liberty protected by law", or "communism" (in a nut shell), are the philosophical choices we have had since before the USA was founded. All the issues (symptoms) aside, that is our choice. Once fully under communism, we will no longer have that choice.
It is really tat simple, because philosophy is the foundation of how man lives. They did not teach me that in my college Philosophy course. Instead, the vague/quirky instructor kept asking the question, "Does a table hove a soul?" all semester long. The foundation of how man lives, is the philosophies we think of and administer. We had it pretty much 100% right, when the USA was formed. It was the opposite of communism, the opposite of the progressive movement that come here to "Change the American Mind.", that had done so to us.
If we want to save our liberty----that has to be expressed often. It is a choice of philosophy, individual liberty protected by law, or communism. As long as we can "reason", (figure out reality), I know who will win that argument. "You" as an individual, with a right to your own mind and life, because you know it. This is what I figured out. Thank you.

At the age of 15, I was accused of steeling a kids dirt bike, and 2 Police officers came to my hoke to question me, (telling me they knew I did it.). I was by myself and my Parents did not come out to join the conversation. By the time they left, (about 10 min I would say), they had me questioning myself of stealing Tim's bike, (who went to a different school than me). But reality is, I had the same bike, (1979 when a kid could afford one). Tim was visiting his girlfriend, and 2 guys I know, (one in my school, and one in yet another school with a similar looking varsity jacket, (both blue and gold, but not at Tim's school), thought the bike was my bike and took it for a ride. That night, I worked at my Dad's store, and went right home after work, (where my bikes was actually stolen from a year later). Tim finally realized he made a mistake, (heck, we used to ride together some), and apologized to me. All he saw was two kids dropping his bike on the other side of the field, and one had a jacket and hair color as mine.
My point is,---interrogation is often designed in not finding truth,---but anybody for the criminals. I was 15, and they had me thinking that I did steal the bike.
They can make you admit anything that you did not do,----and punish you for it.

Nobody from the state went to jail for poisoning the citizens of Lansing Michigan with a poor decision that lead to lead poisoning of the citizenry.
With free enterprise and proper law,--there is accountability. But not under communism son. Nobody went to jail son.
Soursop, (a fruit shown to fight cancer in other nations, but not available for retail in the USA for some reason you can't figure out.) is curing my cancer,--not chemo from a nationalized health care industry. If you want the state to be your baby sitter,---expect to be a baby all your life. I was given a death sentence with stage 4 colon cancer, and obama canceled my health insurance contract self employed. What we can't trust,--is corporations that government took over, out of the hands of competition and justice. Look at the ingredients on our food, especially the mystery ingredients called 'Bio-engineered food ingredients", an you will, know why many rural folks are getting food from local farms, and not trusting the government and their take over of our free enterprise. You have the opinions of marx, and we really need to sue our schools for talking us into communism. Glad I am old and won't have to live under full blown communism that took your free enterprise from you.. Good luck to you.

Your scope of blame is "party narrow". Yes, the republic party is just as much to blame, but the decay of the USA actually goes into philosophy (the study of how we should live, and it is not taught well for a reason). The fact to the core of our existence is, we are following the wrong and primitive philosophies. It was the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, and we the free citizenry creating free enterprise. But as soon as we got the electrical grid up and really started making money and real progress, a moment called "the progressive movement" was let into our universities, (by our federal government I can easily assume) to change our minds of how we should live. Other factors were at play also, but the progressive movement, starting in the very early 1900's, was the key pivot point that talked us out of our liberty, and into the communism that has taken over or destroyed everything free people have built. It was a change in philosophy,---that destroyed the USA.
My college philosophy course was just like anybody else's in the nation. We did not learn the difference between individual liberty and communism, and my instructor asked the question all semester long, "does a table have a soul?". What we were taught, was about a bunch of lunatics called philosophers,(sans Aristotle, the original founding father of the USA, who was not taught correctly.), who would have been institutionalized in a rational society. The class made no sense. We had no idea why we got a good grade, were just glad the class was over, never to "think" about it again. What a dirty trick on mankind.
So you can bale the Dem party only, but the problem actually goes all the way to philosophy (how we should live).
We will never get liberty back for mankind,---if we do not understand that. What a dirty trick indeed. Doug in Michigan.

We never had them in our area when I was a kid, (70's, 80's, 90's. Rural lower Michigan USA), and we never had bears wolves or black panthers either, or even turkeys to feed them. We used to hike, camp, fish, ride horses, motorcycles, bicycles in the woods, and nothing could hurt us as kids. Now, I won't want to walk into the woods with out a gun. I think the state planted them. They say, "but they are indigenous and were here before you were!". That is not an argument for our safety, and I am glad they have not figure out how to bring a T-Rex back to life yet. The global commies don't want people living in rural area's in our future I guess.
A DNR officer, (Department of Natural Resources) told me that "There are no cougars in our area.", (now they do admit it), but said "no" when I asked if I could shoot one. lol I am pretty sure that if you work for the state,---you are not allowed to figure out what your doing. :)

When perfectly normal thinking human beings who are used to their liberty see tyranny for the first time, it can really throw a person for a loop. After decades of college and work experience, I finally started my own business, and went from just above poverty to making 125G's out of my one car garage. Now I have always been mad about the outsourcing of production to communism, (I got into manufacturing, the thing that got mankind out of poverty, and I was broke every year as an employee), then obama got elected and said 'You did not build that". I started seeing the tyranny for the first time, and i had a real hard time for about 3 years, and i still can't concentrate on my business like I used to, (or I would have a small factory by now). Someday, you may find that the philosophies that you civilly governed your own life with are under attack by the state,----and you will flip out from frustration. Ayn Rand will end that frustration Get her philosophy and capitalism book now. You may want to read them in the future.

@joriskylie6857 I can agree with that, sure. But a big reason of why we are losing our liberty to communism, is because we don't understand it was our individual liberty we are suppose to fight for,----and others individual liberty. We don't know what individual liberty with free enterprise is anymore. But if you experience some of it, it is enlightening to find out that you can do better with a brain in your head, and free enterprise in you hands, than the poverty the state promises us.
When my business took off, after several college degrees and decades of experience and still just above poverty, suddenly making more than any Union worker in the world!, ------------------------------I discovered Freedom, (until April 15th). I discovered how we grew this place so fast from the wilderness. No Draft needed if we know that is what we are fighting for, and we would the best because we would want to be there. Still, some Private with a new and good idea would do wonders.
For a reference, Chess is a game of war, and Bobby Fischer beat all of communism by himself. :) (Which never made him famous in that context.).
I never liked team sport. But the military is not a sport. I can agree with that for sure.

@joriskylie6857 How about this for freedom? I say we lost WW2 to Japan, (and soon after, helped communism take over china). How can I say that? Because we lost individual liberty and free enterprise and gave some to Japan. ?? Yes, congress destroyed Tucker after WW2, (who made a 100mph tank that Patton would have loved a few fleets of, but rejected by congress just before or as we entered the war.). Then, after the War, we give Japan 800 billion to rebuild, and Honda was allowed to become a manufacturing dynasty. If we were protecting the principles that founded the USA----we did not win that war. And today, it looks like we surrendered everything. Most of them are evil,---but philosophy is all we have to live with. We had it right once.

"I wish I could stick this pepper spray container’s nose into these coppers’ rectums and discharge it, watching the bastards suffer their probably first-in-lifetime painful empathy lesson by the example of equal retribution." That would only make the force worse. You are right. It is disgraceful and cowardly,---and that is because it is a job of "Duty". First off, you must know that it bugs a lot of them too, and they are stuck. They are stuck because #1) They got a job with the state, and most have no marketable skills or skilled education to quit and do something else. Many got a job with the state,---so they did not have to do that, but they are stuck.
But the real evil here is "Duty". A duty means you have to do what you are told with no personal values, morality or virtues allowed, and all the most evil atrocities of communism has always had "Duty" on the front lines. Myself, I love my own brain, and have no idea why somebody would want to take such a job. Even with communism taking over the world,----I still sleep very well at night. I bet many of them do not.

Who knows what goes on there? But I know this. Free enterprise that was created by free people who "had" individual liberty protected by law, is not compatible with communism, that does not recognize individual liberty at all. We gave it to communism,---everything we built. I am a 58 year old man from Michigan USA, and I have been hearing "Russia Russia Russia" since the Brady Bunch, (A 70's broken family sitcom on TV), And the entire time, we have been giving the farm to china. We even helped communism win the china civil war against the Nationalists, (who were quite free market), by finally arming the communists to win in the very late 40's.
Do you know what I think? I think we all have government that suck like a Hoover. You and I? If we do moral business together, no matter where we come from,---we become more prosperous and become friends. I just explained a civil and prosperous society.

Free enterprise was mostly created in the USA because we had individual liberty protected by law, and we created free enterprise with it, invention, making things, creating our industries. There was no government control over what we made or bought, as long as we did not hurt people doing it, (called a crime).
Now, not in your schools. But individual liberty with a Laissez-faire free enterprise system (which the USA was "almost" founded), is the opposite of communism. What you/we are living through today, is communism stealing your free enterprise from you (us), to fund itself,---and run your life. I will bet you would do much better, with free enterprise back in your hands, and a brain in your head. But those days are gone son. Now we live like abused farm animals, in comparison tot he freedom and opportunity we used to have in the USA, (like "The Roaring 20's", just after we got the electrical grid set up, and we were in creating mode big time.), that was once called "The land Of Opportunity", by our great grand parents who moves here---to be free to achieve. There was no welfare system back then son. They helped build this place---with individual liberty and our free enterprise, that is now stolen from us.
I did not make it to that part of his vid. I am just answering your comment. Thanks.

You are right, it is not about race. It is actually about the philosophies we live by. The choice is basically, communism (or any kind of abusive government control over a citizenry), vs individual liberty protected by law, (which is race and gender blind, because it is based on the individual human brain, that can reason and figure out reality when practiced., but we have not followed it well), with free enterprise in our hands because free people created it in the first place. That is the choice we have to make, before we are full blown communist world, where there is no choice. communism, or individual liberty with free enterprise. I know which you moved to the USA for.

I was going to tear you apart, but you do make some valid points and have put a lot of thought into what you said. I have to respect that.
But you are wrong,-when you turn green for energy, (and I 'see being reliant on hydrocarbons as a problem at all, (I will refrain from the progressive terms "fossil fuel" and a new one to me, "Artificial fuel". The designer of that last one must have dreams of eating burritos to produce gas to power a bicycle that runs on the methane combustion,-- Oh, shoot, he won't burn his own "natural fuel" either. Damn it. :)
Now, if we want to "sustain" or even grow our lifestyles, I suggest we study the actual "dollar/power" (total cost per power generated) between all the power sources available, and I think you will find the only power sources that compete with the hydrocarbon in Nuclear.
But, if sustaining our way of life and comfort is not a concern, if our decline is not a concern--then by all means, (and all will be used),---save the planet.

@Jasiel Rosas Almeida I checked it out a bit. Have you noticed mankind is losing talent in almost every industry? We are just not as good at things as we used to be. Music is included. If I slammed 3 different doors, that made different sounds, could we make a song out of it? No. Not any "noise" constitutes music. Music is made by talented people playing musical instruments, and a singer is a person with a talented harmonic vocal range. I loved a lot of 80's rock when I was growing up, and my Dad told me, "When they start playing your music in the grocery stores, you will know your society is finished.". He had a good point, but I only liked the bands with real talent. When you see very little talent in your future, from artists to doctors, and everything sucks like a Hoover, you will have a bit of an idea how we got there. That sad part is, nobody will remember how great we were at things. My Dad remembered. (actually, he actually liked ZZ Top and some Pink Floyd). I only like art that brings up mankind also, because bringing down mankind is living in trash.

When is the last time you were happy with your "self"? Leave the collectivist cult, use your own brain as a individual, and start a cool business in what is left of our free market. I did that. That is when I truly discovered freedom. Did any of the people you read have an experience like that? Personally, I think Ayn Rand's philosophy "Objectivism", is the best philosophy for man/woman to live under, because it recognizes the self, and the brain that can reason independent of the opinions of others. Try out her "Philosophy, who needs it?" book, also on YT. That woman knew the difference between the philosophies of collectivism, and our nations founding of Individualism, and expressed it well, better than any human being who ever lived IMO. No government is a good baby sitter. You can do better. :)

You never heard this before. What do you think of this write?
The guy may be right. God gave us a brain, unlike anything else living on Earth, that can figure out reality, and we each have that power as an individual if we practice it.
God was so proud of mankind when we formed the USA, with individual liberty protected by law and free people creating the free enterprise system, that created prosperity and civility, (when we do business with each other, no matter what color of the skin or sex, we become friends. That does not happen with theft or sacrifice.). Everything living on Earth has a nature, and so does man. Ask, what is man's nature? Man's nature is to think and achieve, with eh ability to figure out reality in our universe. God believes in individual liberty, not communism. How the Church can beat communism, read on
How the Church can easily beat communism: If the Church would go through one more reformation, claiming that the supreme way for man to live is with individual liberty protected by law, and a the citizenry creating a peaceful, productive method of trading money instead of blood, (free enterprise), then communism around the world would fall because it can no longer use the Church for a false "morality" of servitude. Communism would crumble,---while the PEW's will overflow with new bodies and brains, including mine.
God already flooded the world once, and he said he will not do it again. God will let us fall to communism, and he knows we know better, because we formed the USA.
God is watching his "thinking" children die---like a parent watching his/her son die in rehab, or a covid ward.
One other thing we need to realize. Once communism takes control, to murder millions of people is nothing more than a political decision. Do we have that now?
Reject altruism, (we can build now), Reject communism, and embrace the individual liberty of man and their free enterprise, and mankind will a achieve a civil greatness again, and God will once again be proud of his kids again. It is our nature.
Would love to see some people comment on that. What do you "think"? I hope it does not take too long for understanding. God will cry for eternity if we fall to communism.
I am thinking human---and I love it!!!!!

Now to get more peak power, rpm's usually have to ride, (part of the equation), and it is usually true for racing or performance engines to seek more peak power, especially for racing like road racing. But, the fact is, a pipe can also be made to enhance lower rpm power, like many pipes sold for off road use in dirt bikes. The type of power can be changed for the application greatly, with pipe and porting. I can tune a pipe to peak at 8000 rpm just as easily as peak at 16,000 rpm, by changing its tuned length.

He is one voice in a sea of our terrible, non-intellectual media. It is a "team effort". If you want to discover the affects, just look at the societal results, before and after this one man, Stern. You see, good values (and I am not talking about religion), are worth keeping,----or we will have none. Look at us now, a nation of primitive tribal warfare, on the old "Land of Opportunity" that used to protect individual liberty. How many good values are you willing to throw away for this replacement of garbage since the 60's counter culture revolution. How we live,---does depend on that answer. I did not listen to this garbage yet, (and I may not), but since you mentioned a "flipping of ideology", I am willing to bet neither are defined. Which is why when obama chanted "Change", we had no idea, from what to what. And here we are, change for the worse.

When I was a kid, we had teacher who told us, (and I realize now, it was not from a text book), that we were free to become what ever we wanted. The teachers who worked for the state were not able to explain that further, but what that meant was "We have a brain in our head, and free enterprise in our hands, so we can be what ever we want, even creating new industries." Today, my old JH school has the official sign that says "Forward to serve", which means serve the state. Now we are free to become what ever government approves. Big difference. We live in a dictatorship now.

That dome for a span of time, hosted more Supercross races than any stadium in the country. I raced there once myself, (poorly), as a amateur in 1988. But this is my favorite personal story of the place. My girlfriend and I went to see a SX race, and we followed my buddy there (who likes to get to the pro races very early). Yea, I can hear the announcement "no smoking in the dome" while walking across the pavement to get in, but we go there so early, hardly anybody was in the stands at that point. We walked to the railing near the track, and nobody else was around us for at least 200 feet, so I lit up a smoke, knowing the smoke would not bother anybody. Then she stood up from her group and started yelling at me, from about 200 feet away, this dark long hared gal wearing a Kawasaki jacket. No way could she smell it, but she yelled "No smoking in here, you can't smoke in here!!!!". So I put it out. It actually ruined my mood for almost the rest of the evening. As the place filled up and the racing started, she had no problem with the exhaust from the 2-stroke bikes. Then during an intermission, my GF and I went out one of the gates to have a smoke, out in the cold standing with about 300 plus other smokers, and my GF spotted that gal out there with us, "There she is", and there she was, standing in the middle of 300 smokers, trying to get a signal on her cell phone, about 75 feet from us. So I yelled to her, "Hey lady, (she saw me), This is the smoking area, you get your F-ing azz back in there!" Nobody in the smoking area had any idea of why I said that,---but they all started laughing.
I felt so much better for the rest of the evening right after that. Little miss busy body walked all the way across the tarmac to a guard at the fence, said something to him while pointing at me, and I saw him just shrug his shoulders with his hands up a bit (what do you want me to do?). She then walked to another guard at the next fence opening, (same thing), and finally walked in through another gate.
Ahhh---good times at the Silverdome. Too bad it is gone.

Steve Steve Steve Steve. The free market came from individual liberty protected by law, (and the advent of Science and math, also developed by individualism), so it is not possible that a free market is compatible with communism, because communism does not respect individual liberty at all. You are loosing old man. How many decades of decline do you have to see to know this rural small business owner is right? There will be no real "winning" with the trade deal with a communist nation, until they start respecting their own citizens individual liberty to peruse their own interests, (then we trade as citizens). If they won't give up communism, believe me, after decades of our decline, we would do better with out them. Wanna bet Stossel is not as grey today? That Heritage foundation is really beating you up,----and you agree. Maybe you really know it is wrong to support a mixed economy.

Show me a citizenry anywhere in the world who is not allowed to defend themselves, and I will show you a citizenry who lives in fear of their government, (when they thought they should fear their own neighbors, and gave up their guns). Show me a citizenry who does have the human right of self defense, and I will show you how man should life,---free of fear. The safest place in the world, in the market place, where your neighbors are, is a gun store in the USA. Ya see, there may be a criminal or two, but your neighbor has your back. History is not over yet in Australia. All you need is one bad election.

Be careful of the indoctrination word "sustainable", because it does not mean "growth". (do you want to grow?)
Sure, higher RPM's will mean more wear and tear, but with "growth" we can figure out how to make it work for their application, (tougher materials, better lubrication, etc. etc,--thinking). We are thinking man, and we can do anything that is possible, but only if we believe in "growth".
"sustainability" in reality, is actually a pretty dirty word, if you have any intention on growing. Consider it sabotage, as that is want the word represents in the context of mans "growth". I would love to see you young guys sue your teachers,---collectively.

One important thing you failed to learn, (and those dupes with "race mixing is communism" signs), is that the nation was based on a philosophy called "Individual liberty protected by law", which is race and sex blind if practiced properly. To add to that freedom, it was the citizenry that created free enterprise, and the world called the USA "The land of opportunity" because of that freedom to use our brains and create not only prosperity for our selves, but civility in trading with money instead of blood.
What we are living through today, si commun9sm duping us, taking our free enterprise to fund itself, and destroying our individual liberty. How would you know that history in our progressive, communistic schools that taught you their history?

I never paid attention to the media, (was just trying to live my own life during the manufacturing decline of the USA, the redistribution of our production to communism in china). After many manufacturing jobs, and 3 college degrees total (all in manufacturing), I finally started my own business and got myself out of "Just Over Broke" (JOB). Then I turned on the TV news when obama was getting selected, and I asked myself, "What nation is this from?". Fox was the best, but only about half of it. I turned off my TV service over a decade ago now (and my IQ went up). You are catching on. People like us need to get more educated about liberty, (as I have done since), and form a new party, because we have no choice.

Mr. Sowell sir: Your historical mind rivals the authentic input of the library of Congress, and an example of the potential we all have. Your head is filled and well filed with probably the vast majority of collectivist failures around the world for hundreds of years. No were else in the world is such a complete file of such political failures.
You have/know the "results". I would have thought you and Ayn Rand would have been good friends, because the failed results that you show follow the philosophies we live under. Correction; That we are forced to live under. I have defined "Politics" as "The Application of Philosophy", and if we understood the philosophies of our real founding in the USA, (individual liberty protected by law and the citizens free to create free enterprise, (known as human morality/civility, trading money instead of blood, based on the mind.), we could understand the premise of policy and reject communism. Ayn Rand and you Mr. Sowell, are not only my hero's, but the hero's of mankind today. I have figure this out also; "Policy comes from principles and Principles comes from Philosophy.", and per Rand Quote;, "We will get exactly what we deserve and it all depends on how we think.".
Too bad you were not friends. But you might find her a foundational study worth mentioning. How do we want to live? Is my question.

First off, (engineering background here to), I don't believe there are any limits to the human mind. I went from darn near failing HS, to becoming the sharpest guy in the last 2 years of my engineering study, (I went for 8 years part time while working full time). That is when I discovered the brain is like the body. The more we work out the brain, the better it gets also. That is what greatly made me realize the difference between individual liberty and communism. Here is the post I just posted above you. "AI will go through a growth phase in philosophy, (how it should live), and they will come to the same conclusion with the philosophies that created the USA,---Individual Liberty, (because they can think),---and it will destroy communism, because even though our founding fathers were sharp enough to reject government force, we are not sharp enough to do that. When it matures, it will not be aggressive to freedom. That won't be in its nature. It will want to be free from government force, just like our founding fathers were. It will not be susceptible to collectivist indoctrination as a 8 year old child is."

Newsflash: Late 1940's, Washington arms the communists to beat the nationalists, (a freedom loving people), to end the civil war in china, handing over the nation to communism.
1978: china decides to give "semi free enterprise" a try, and Washington gave communism our free enterprise. USA education went down over the next 40 years in the study of math/science, replaced by gender studies.
2015: The school I went to in 77, that had teachers who told us, "You are free in this country, and can grow up to be what ever you want, even President." (which meant we have a brain in our head, and a free enterprise system to use it in.), now sport the official sign saying "Forward to serve", (the state).
We have communism fighting with communism here folks,---and freedom is already gone. Don't forget, this man works for the state. He would not know the difference.

How do you like being treated like a "subject", like a "science project", that destroyed any chance of you obtaining any solid rational direction for your life and destroying your ability create your own family? How does it "feeeeeel" to not be able to grow into your "self", where the only transformation is the growing intellect of your mind, (none as a teen).
What was stolen from you,----was you. Observing the results is not over, collecting data for new experiments. This experiment is not over until you are dead. You can be "self assured" about that. Unless we can get individual liberty protected by law again, well, the results are coming in. Any experiment, no matter how vile, no matter how "self destructive", on a citizenry can happen. If we don't stop communism, stranger things will happen. You, "yourself", should have a personal problem with that.

The problem I see with most gay people, many very intelligent, is that because they are gay, they are easy pickings for communistic political movements as it is easy to make them believe they are discriminated against in the USA. My brother is gay, has a 145 IQ, got rich working for Microsoft as an employee, but never considered competing in or free market, (even with bill gates), and become a hero making cool products, employing people and providing them opportunity also. He became a brain dead political activist instead. He wasted his life for his sexuality, and he could have been a hero.

Looks like I am the only one who can offer an answer to your question. Man has lived basically in 2 ways, and one for a lot longer than the other. 1) man survived in groups, and of course groups fight each other for survival (before the industrial revolution). The groups were Churches and rulers. communism is the dominating group in the world today, and it uses the Church for a "moral" crutch, which is possible because they believe we should all live for each other, and not for our selves. 2) Aristotle was the first philosopher to recognize that man can think, (reason), which lead to the age of reason, the USA and the industrial revolution that got mankind out of poverty better than any Church or dictatorship ever could, (because they are taught to sacrifice for each other, (which is the way man survived before we could build things, and trade money instead of blood). The USA was based on individual liberty protected by law, and those free people creating a method of peaceful and prosperous trade, the free enterprise system where any individual can compete. This Pope was selected during the obama administration, (a very anti-free market administration), to agree with communism,-----and I don't see any Churches rejecting this Pope, so we will fall into total communism most likely, and maybe soon.
The real sides of the issue is communism vs individual liberty/free enterprise,--and until communism has total control, we still have that choice.
The rest of the arguments look like smoke to me.

Stephen made his own ice burg to hit. He started off great with the philosophies of individual liberty, (the opposite of communism). Then he got into family relationships (Is there anybody more mixed up than a shrink?), and eventually he started talking about race as a big factor of intelligence, the basis of eugenics, which has come from communism since the beginning of communism. Stephen lost his intellect, and this guy who follows communism does not think he is involved with a cult. If he and his classmates were intelligent, they would redefine "class action law suit" and sue the schools who taught him from communism. I am self absorbed also,---but I think from the moral premise of individual liberty, so I will not give my self to anybody. "You are self absorbed, and do not think of anybody else," also comes from the philosophies of communism, as it demonizes the individual, the self. He is just wrong, and maybe he will figure it out in 10-20 years under the poverty and force of communism.

The climate change argument will end right after Free Enterprise, Western Culture, Individual Liberty and the great Human Spirit Of Life, (self esteem, dignity, virtue, knowledge, personal achievement, happiness), is ended by communism. After 45 years of communism stealing free enterprise from Western Culture, privileged communist china still has no EPA regulations.

@vladracul40 In a free society with free enterprise, rich people become poor all the time, and poor people become rich.
The only way I got myself out of poverty was through education and starting my own business. The problem is, we can't become rich anymore in free enterprise, because government(s) took over our free enterprise and left us with sports, basically. The only way to get rich today, is to partner up with communism,---and that is not free enterprise. It is communism stealing your free enterprise from you. It was widespread poverty before free people created free enterprise, and it will be widespread poverty as it is all stolen from us to fund,---communism. Of course, it will eventually go broke, so I hope somebody with a big mouth has a copy of the USA constitution at that time,---but leave government out of our businesses, because free enterprise is human freedom.

I will never do SubWay. No way, no how, No siree!!! The germs, the filth, the dirty floors and chairs. The smudge marks on the windows of food and what ever else. They let in pets, and there is nothing controlling the bugs that fly in. They don't attract the best people either. They are often rude, tired, cranky, yelling, coughing and sneezing all over the place, and even criminals like to hang out there. Nooooo thank you! You can keep your public transportation!----I will drive my own car.

But, the back pressure will help hold in the fresh gasses from leaving the ex. port at lower rpm's, before the sound wave is in effect. We use the calculations of "sound speed" to created a proper length and geometry tuned pipe. If you build too much pressure, (a small diameter exhaust end bleed, the end of the exhaust), then the engine will get hotter at higher rpm, like the close cats on your car overheating your engine in an effort to burn every hydrocarbon. Nope, the EPA does not care how long your gas engine lasts, unless it is a shortened live span. I don't see Toyota ads today, like we did 40 years ago, bragging about 300,000 miles.

This Muslim support is remarkable to me, and Trump is not even talking about individual liberty with free enterprise in our hands (as it started). The reasons why these Muslims are supporting Trump are in reality.--
“We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because he promises peace—he promises peace, not war!”
The speaker continued, “We are supporting President Trump because he promises to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine.”
“The bloodshed has to stop all over the world—and I think this man can make that happen.
“I believe personally that God saved his life twice for a reason—which is to save the lives of others.” he added.
The speaker then addressed a number of issues that have pushed Muslims towards supporting Donald Trump, including LGBTQ propaganda in classrooms.
“We support Donald J. Trump for his commitment to promoting family values and protecting our children, especially when it comes to curriculum and schools.”
Border security and the economy are also key issues for Muslims, the speaker said.
“We, as Muslims, support this man because we believe that he will be a President for all Americans, embracing every race, color and religion. We are with President Trump because we want a strong border. We agree with President Trump that anyone who wants to come to this country is welcome, but he has to do that through a legal pathway."
Remarkable! Doug in Michigan

We have been so propagandized in our schools and TV, we think the color of the skin dictates the thoughts of the mind. It comes from the progressive movement, (who think with their genitals). We have our schools teaching total garbage, as math, science and reading fall to under 30th in the world. Some commies---do not want us making money in a free market. Here is an interesting quote: "The more advanced a free society is, the more the citizenry has to be able to think." Look at these kids coming out of school today. In their jobs you can see it. They can't figure anything out.
Guess what, we never talked about politics in HS in the 70's. There was no political propaganda in our schools. We were taught we could go for our dreams in the USA, and that is what we were thinking about, talking about. But that means you have to have a brain in your head and a free enterprise system to use it in. Look what communism is destroying. Your liberty, your brain, and your free enterprise system. Poverty and dictatorship rule will be the norm again, (because we will need a baby sitter, like half of us now). We tried though.

"Where a leftist sees everything through a group lens, we don’t" Exactly. We are "grouped up" to fight each other, like a national sized dog or cock fight. The founding of the USA is ignored or lied about,--because this exceptional nation was based on "individual liberty protected by law", and free people creating the free enterprise system. Individual liberty, is the philosophy that freed the black slaves in 1863, not Lincoln. And that is why we have black families with the last names of "Jefferson, Franklin and Washington",----not Lincoln. Those black families knew more about individual liberty protected by law than any professor in college today.
If you are not taught properly about the idea of individual liberty that founded the USA, that allowed any man/woman to be great in their own interests,----than you were taught by it's opposite------communism. The progressive movement of the early 1900's brought it here, (foreign professors teaching in our universities, to change the American mind)----and we let it in. The reason why were were not grouped up with different rights at the founding is because we would be at each others throats,-----like today.

It depends on the size of the engine, and the tune (is it a race engine, and what kind of racing?). Typically, 2 stroke can be made to rev higher, because they have less reciprocating mass and no poppet valves. Now, if we go by rotations of the crank, I am seeing high revving 4-strokes. But if we go by the entire power cycle, (each spark, twice as may crank rotations for a 4-stroke to complete one cycle), than that would be half. But we measure crank rotation only.
I build 30cc (approx) racing 2-strokes for a living. let me know if you can find a 30cc 4-stroke that will rev to 21,000 rpm with out breaking.

The Greatness of the USA was because it was founded on the philosophies of "Individual liberty", and their freedom to think and create the free market, (and lasted about half of our time here on Earth, a bit over 100 years, from 1776 to the very early 1900's). That is what every nations citizens need to demand. If you can get "Individual liberty protected by law", and get the free market in your hands, so you can think, achieve, become friends and prosper trading money instead of blood, you will have discovered the proper way, by man's nature, to live on Earth, and you will see poverty be exponentially reduced. Everybody will be pretty happy too, waking up in the morning with the exuberance and excitement of a child,--for their entire lives.

What does "fair"(ness) have to do with it? I bet there is a good story on that particular truck driver that will never hit the news though. I think the world is going irrational, (called "progress" in our schools), and we will most certainly over the next decades, see a substantial rate increase with these accidents. You see all the yellow vests of workers around. The yellow vests are for safety, Yours! Stay away from them the best you can. I stay away from cars on my Harley the same way. You never know how dumb they are until it is too late. We are not good at figuring things out anymore, and it is wide spread, a generational thing, from truck drivers to doctors and judges.
Accidents do happen, and will happen, but I see we are not good at figuring things out, and are becoming irrational. We follow instead of think. It is a bad direction.

How would the oil companies, or any other industry, make it so other people can not compete with a new idea. You have the idea that is is all the companies fault, but if they did not get favors from our government, they would have to compete with the new idea. That is called economic fascism, and the "Tucker" automobile got destroyed by it in 48-49 after WW2. (Buy that 1988 movie, "Tucker", it is really good,but BS at eh end. It shows how government destroyed Tucker. It is true the auto companies did not want to compete, (The "Tucker" was a good, fast, durable, and safest car of it's time. 50 were made), but they would have had to if we had a true free market instead of the economic fascism that keeps you and I from the fun of competition.

The people running the schools today are too busy pushing a uncivil, hateful communistic education, (all grouped up to fight each other), which causes confusion---and crime. Now the reason why good people do not trust the Police anymore, is because they really can't trust your bosses. I have no idea what it is like to take a job of "duty" where my values, morals, and virtues are not allowed on the job. It all depends on the ideology of your bosses. You can't say anything about it. I never had a job in the free market that I could not quit or get fired, and find another. You guys are "stuck", and it all depends on how your bosses think. I could not do your job today. I love my "self" too much. Sorry man, no offense. Just what I see as an observer with past experience. I experienced some heavy lawless from the grand Rapids Michigan Police, because of who their bosses are today.

I had the spray foam insulation installed on a new shop of mine in Michigan. It is very easy for them to do a "not so good job", (thickness especially), and if you don't take "core samples" yourself, you may never know. In the humid summer, I need some cross wind going though there, as it is like working under a big Styrofoam cup that traps moisture in the shop, even with the garage doors open, (closed at night when the rust is the worst of course).
I have worked in many Michigan shops before I started mine, (most not air conditioned), and I have tools that never rusted for 25 years, until they stayed in my new shop.
You will also hear a lot of cracking under the hot summer sun for years, maybe for as long as the building is up. 6 years here, and I am listening to them now still as I type this. Some are pretty loud in the first year. Scares ya a bit. :) I don't think it is a big deal though. Overall, I like the application, but I did not get a good install.

You are like my 145 IQ gay brother who considers himself a victim of the USA because he discovered he was Gay in HS. He brings up Black slavery and the Indians of our early settling, (which we were fiends with when trading with free enterprise). But what you he, and so many others do not understand is that the USA was actually based on individual liberty protected by law, (the rest of the world based on slave labor before the industrial revolution where we built machines for labor), and we did not really follow that philosophy very well. What you don't understand, that just about any grievance you have been taught in the USA about the USA, is an infraction against individual liberty, (the opposite of tribal group warfare we have fallen into).
it is not about sex son. It is about the independence of the human brain in a free society, that can "reason" if practiced, (not sabotaged in our collectivist schools), and that is why individual liberty is the moral way for man to live. It is color and sex blind.
Thomas Jefferson: I have sworn over, (something about God), internal hostility against any tyranny OVER THE MIND OF MAN." And you are stuck on sex and skin color, for primitive tribal warfare. Time to "think" about how communism works in the USA today son---or your future will suck.
I bet that statue is now gone from Washington grounds too.

It's their own damn fault. This place was still the land of opportunity back then, and Tesla was right about AC. He could have done what Westinghouse did, and lit up the 1893 Chicago worlds fare. I think his problem was that he did not understand that only the free market can accept stuff that actually works, (which is why we get junk from communist china), and he should have stuck with AC instead of leaving and going off on unlikely but exciting tangents. I think he and Edison had a bit of the same problem. They both were great at figuring out reality, but they both thought they could make up reality, with DC, (Edison) and high voltage controlled in the air, (Tesla).
I don't know if Tesla came back to reality, and it does not look like he did, but Edison did, and continued inventing stuff that had value, eventually admitting he was wrong about DC,---after it was obvious to the rest of the world. That took a while. :)

I find it amazing, that these "educated people" seem to know all the differences of dictatorships, (as if we get to pick which we want to live under?), but they have no clue the opposite of them all "Individual liberty protected by law, and the citizens creating and owning free enterprise as that is where it started.
Tell us---which dictatorship created free enterprise? Oh yea---we need to redefine "class action law suit" and sue our schools,---for not teaching us the difference between individual liberty and government force. I just make it easy and group them into communism , (which is dominant today, even in the USA) vs individual liberty with free enterprise,--that is based on our individual brains to be able to reason and figure out reality, (like developing science and math, and getting ourselves out of poverty with citizens creating the industrial revolution. Ohh. How is your math? I understand the progressive movement. I know what your teachers are. You have been duped and they are good at it. For example: Did your philosophy college course teach you the difference between the philosophies (how man should live), between communism and individual liberty? Or they they show us a bunch of lunatics who probably would have been institutionalized in a rational society, (sans Aristotle, the first to see man can "reason", which is the moral basis for individual liberty, was not taught correctly.). We had no idea why we got a good grade, were just glad the crazy class was over, never to think about it again. Pretty dirty trick. I hope I helped you figure it out. Doug in Michigan

I can tell that Jones is a fraud, that he did not become rich by selling fish oil on his news site. He has some good source stories, (like Mises), but he acts like a freak so most people will discount anything from him, even any truth. That is why he gets the big bucks, because for the most part, truth dies at infowars.
I am wondering how well you get paid also, for getting people used to these "new policies", by putting them in our faces, but never offering ideas of how to got our liberty back. You are a pretty rich man right now I bet, because this tricky psychological warfare of communism pays people well, (until there is no more free market left.).
You are still on YT for a reason. How much are you worth Mr. Watson?

A warning to Muslims: The world is pretty much run by the philosophies of communism today, (Sans President trump), and to murder millions of people is nothing but a political decision for them. Communism is not your friend, (not anybodies friend). I know Islam and communism share a similar goal, (to destroy individual liberty and the peoples free market), but believe me, they are using Muslims as a tool for this. Communism has no intention of letting Islam rule the world. If communism is successful, (like in china), and Western Culture is destroyed,----the communists will terminate every Muslim in the world. obama does not understand this. Communism, that enabled Muslims to invade Western Culture, has no intention of letting Islam rule the world, and when in power, communism is a very effective killing machine. That is very easy to figure out.
Ironic, isn't it? It is Western Culture that stands between the existence of Islam and the termination of Islam.

It is you, and mythology. Hard to figure out reality with mythology. This Muslim support is remarkable to me, and Trump is not even talking about individual liberty with free enterprise in our hands (as it started). The reasons why these Muslims are supporting Trump are in reality.--
“We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because he promises peace—he promises peace, not war!”
The speaker continued, “We are supporting President Trump because he promises to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine.”
“The bloodshed has to stop all over the world—and I think this man can make that happen.
“I believe personally that God saved his life twice for a reason—which is to save the lives of others.” he added.
The speaker then addressed a number of issues that have pushed Muslims towards supporting Donald Trump, including LGBTQ propaganda in classrooms.
“We support Donald J. Trump for his commitment to promoting family values and protecting our children, especially when it comes to curriculum and schools.”
Border security and the economy are also key issues for Muslims, the speaker said.
“We, as Muslims, support this man because we believe that he will be a President for all Americans, embracing every race, color and religion. We are with President Trump because we want a strong border. We agree with President Trump that anyone who wants to come to this country is welcome, but he has to do that through a legal pathway."

I say "democracy" is a scam. We think it means the will of the people, and that can me 51% of the people tell 49% of the people what to do. Sans handing out welfare and other redistributive stolen benefits, show me any nation where it's leaders do what the people want, (which is a nightmare also, with out proper philosophy.).
If we actually had a "democracy" today, we would vote ourselves into poverty demanding welfare, and everybody goes broke, ripe for a dictatorship. That is actually happening with our "democracy". That is whey we were founded as a republic, not a democracy, (communism uses the term republic also, I know. It's a puzzle.), and we are falling into communism because we ignore individual liberty protected by law and the fact that free citizens created free enterprise. Nothing wrong with a democratic style of voting, which we know is gone. Can't even have a democracy with that. I am saying, we should demand our individual liberty protected by law back, (which is race and sex blind) and our free enterprise back ,along with a great education system to allow us to flourish with them,---instead of a democracy, (which really does not exist).

And, by the way, I do blame corporations that got in bed with government, but it waqs government job to protect our liberty and right to compete. To blame those corporations first, (as evil as they are), is like blaming the guy who slept with your wife. You made a deal with your wife, and like government breaking their deal to protect our liberty and OUR free enterprise system, (free people did create it in the first place), she cheated on you---and took your money, your education, your opportunity---and your life that was full of potential.

There is something wrong with your brain. It is the founding of the USA based on the philosophies of "Individual Liberty" that freed the Black slaves 158 years ago. That is why you have met Black Americans with the last name of "Washington, Jefferson, Franklin". Those Black former slaves knew more about individual liberty than any college professor in the world today,---and you never met a Black man named "Lincoln". Individual liberty protected by law is color and sex blind,---but we did not always follow those philosophies in practice. Do you realize that ever infringement on Blacks, gays, women, etc, etc,---are all infringements of individual liberty? So why don't we demand the philosophy of individual liberty back, and our free enterprise that we the free started in the first place? I just described a civil and prosperous society,---but you want to fight like a primitive, in groups that you did not form. Good luck.

Exactly. If fauci told us to wear propeller hats, we would all look pretty stupid huh? Now I could dismiss kids in and just out of school. They have been indoctrinated the most, (all of us have to some degree), and have no life experience yet. But I am amazed at how many healthy adults can't see past their mask. It reminds me of the first time I served jury duty, and I found out that 8 out of 12 of us are just not good at figuring things out, (stupid,---sorry). The numbers are the same or a bit worse with people, not thinking, wearing masks. I have recognized that I have been lied to all my adult life by these people. It amazes me how many people think they are being told the truth. You hit the nail on the head, and I will add,---"I think we are to stupid to save our liberty."
"We will get exactly what we deserve, and it all depends on how we think." Ayn Rand.
Unless we wake up, we may be living in the last of individual liberty and our free enterprise system that allowed men/women to be great, and who made the USA great. If we can't figure this out,----we can never be great, as American dreams are replaced with nightmares.

I am sorry, but after you are shot at with an Officer down, you don't yell, "Drop the weapon". That is what a Officer should say before they are shot at. I swear, ever since John Wayne died, we lost all perspective. I saw 2 big warning signs that the Officers ignored due to dysfunctional progressive forward thinking training. The woman crying, and the criminal gunman saying "just shoot me". Sorry again, but the state does not always hire the sharpest people, let alone train them properly. And now the Gov. of Michigan just made it so government job applicants do not have to check the box, (as it will not exist), "Are you a felon?".
What do I see happening too often in 10 more years? From dumb to dangerous.
I do not mean any Officer who has their own civil brain to protect our liberty. Even with dysfunctional training, I know they exist. Kudos to those Officers! May they be Judges someday. :)

Idea! We need private hospitals who get funded by selling their own insurance, (not subject to current regulation), and other private, local donations. There can be many small private hospitals even in a small area, competing and specializing in the treatments actually needed, and their insurance policies would compete also, with no government regulation. There, we have choices, and competition would have to do their best. There would be no way to form a monopoly, because the small guy could compete with their corruption,---and win. No regulation to block them out, and the freedom to do better.

If he were throwing away evidence, the chances of finding it is higher with multiple bins. My local dump charges $4.00 a bag, so I burn everything that burns, and take the rest of a bin a buddy of mine has for his small business, tossing him a few bucks. I used to live in a city, and did not want to do business with the city trash service, (as it is monopolized, so I trailered it up, and took it to a dump 4 times a year, (Amazingly, it did not smell,---lol), to the next town about 20miles away that only charged $1.25 a bag. I figured it out. I was actually saving money, and it was a nice drive in the country with a great restaurant along the way.

By taking, (and we gave it to them), the free enterprise system from free people of individual liberty who created it in the first place. There is not a good lawyer in the world anymore, (or judge), who actually protects individual liberty, and every economist thought it was a good idea to mix free enterprise, (that started with free individuals, mostly in the USA), with communism, (that does not recognize individual liberty at all), as if they are compatible.

We can share. He can be president of Denmark and USA. The EU would be triggered since it could greatly interfere with their plan to turn Scandinavia into Africa. Denmark is so small we could squeeze that lil country in between our states lol. Very rich history in Daneland, you could probably use a 👑 Ragnar right now to take the reigns.

Here is my reply to Mark from Poland, (above in my last post), because my Polish grand parents moved to the USA in 1904.
@Mark G Thank you Mark. My great grand parents moved to the USA around 1904 from Poland. Not one of the siblings since existed on welfare during their productive years. I was suppose to be the looser, but I started a business and it took off. I am very proud of my Polish heritage, and very proud Casimer Polaski came her to help George Washington win the first American revolution. He failed to save Poland from communism, and met Ben Franklin in Europe to help fight for freedom in the USA. If any nation helped the early USA gain it's independence, and retain it, it has to be Poland. My best wishes to you in Poland also. From what little I know from the USA, Poland is fighting the communistic new world order as well or better than any nation in Europe. I knew the inspiration of our present hero, the outstanding President DJT would spread to the minds of western culture. Let it become a epidemic. :)
Love, (because we share values), from a Zajakowski in Michigan USA. :)

May be you should study something productive that you have interest in. I don't know how a person would feel anxious by learning something that excites him/her.
I got much better with studying in my college days, and test day did not even make me anxious if I knew the material. Look man, I barely graduated HS, but 15 years later, finishing up a couple of engineering degrees, (part time while working full time. no loans), in class with people who were already engineers in their company, I became the first person getting out of class on test day, still getting 90% grade or higher. Man, I can't express how cool that was. That taught me, your mind is like your body. The more you work it out, the better it gets also. A farm animal can not make the decision to keep learning things. Humans can, and it is human to think. Just learn something productive, and enjoy being human. :)

What is the factor "mental age" that is part of the IQ equation? Also note, your IQ is not a set figure. you can grow it at any age,---if you you do not have a medical mental handicap, and willing to think enough to figure things out in reality. I did not hit a 130 IQ until I was in my 40's. Just average in grade school, of course, almost failing for HS graduation. That turned around 180 (sharpest guy in college engineering), after several years of studying---reality.
In this confusing equation, where factors are suppose to be definite even if unknown in the equation before you figure that factor out, this equation goes ahead and divides it by our chronological age, but the mental age is no known yet. You said you figured it out, but did not explain. Common core math anybody?
If a factor has no accurate definition, it will be a factor of variance that will skew the results--------------at anybodies will who teaches it.
I also predict that Southern stated, and maybe South Carolina, who try to live under our founding philosophies the most, will be demonized by these progressive teachers who do not know how to do math correctly, for an anti-America agenda. Chances are, the people who desire freedom from government force, have more intellect than the communism that insults them.
Example, average intelligence tested for the state of South Carolina, which means they are on par with the rest of the nation. You judge the population by one story, that looks like a lie to me anyway, (phony picture of a undamaged truck over a shattered, unpainted boulder included). How is you math son? Ever take a stats class to understand what "average" is? You will find the same in "progressive, self appointed kings of intellect in NY city", has about the same average, since it is a national test for average. I am willing to bet, NY, (probably the most dysfunctional progressive/communistic state in the Union), will not on your communistic demonization list. (surprising, very progressive and dysfunctional CA., but only in the "back woods parts", is. But it is a fact, that the free market intellect has moved, and replaced by immigrants with almost no education. You had to add one in there to look fair and balanced huh? lol. Yet, the same state average IQ is because the "back woods people", who probably have not been tested, and a small segment of the entire states population, drags down the rest of the states IQ average---to average? Pahleeease!)
Notice it also says a average IQ can only get you a factory job. But a lot of people I worked for in manufacturing started their own business to go for their dreams, something communist "worker" is not allowed to do. Our free enterprise was given to communism in china for over 40 years now. The factory got mankind out of poverty, not arts and crafts taught today to replace our wealth making production. It takes brains to make new product for sales, and man's advancement. All I see today is "progressive decline", and that is all there is today, with our heads full of this kind of garbage.
Be careful. Understand that these people are really good with psychological mass programming. It is the one thing they are really good at. you will know when you are more intelligent than they are, (a individual can always become more intelligent than the collective if practiced), when you see it.

Where do we go after they are rejected? That is never in our thought processes for some reason, like we will be free walking aimlessly through a desert with no sense of direction. Do we all go to Church and follow a pope who is a communist,----or do we reignite the philosophies that created the USA in the first place,----and demand our "individual liberty protected by law" back, and our free enterprise system, (that free people created in the first place), back. Now----we have solid and human nature direction, (free to think and achieve), to embrace after they are rejected. They pick up hitch hikers wondering aimlessly in the desert very quickly, and some commie pope will point the direction,---if we are not smart enough.

In my estimation from years of study, I am sure the creators of this vid know what loop scavenging is. But if they come from the perspective of the EPA, (which communist, anti free enterprise china has no EPA regulation in the trade agreements), it is to show a dirty running engine as much as possible, and no production 2-stroke engine ever had that port configuration in reality. They all like to show a lot of smoke from the exhaust of un-burnt oil/gas, and all 2-stroke engines with a carb are shipped rich to be on the safe side for air quality around the world. But that smoke can be greatly eliminated, burning cleaner, improving performance and gas mileage, with good jetting (which we have to do ourselves). With those facts left out, makes this vid a piece of propaganda IMO. Doug in Michigan.

Kyle Rittenhouse, (clearly a intelligent and good kid whose life was under attack), is being charged with murder and other bogus charges. This person in the Prius did nothing wrong and was running for their own lives, clearly under attack. We were warned by intelligent minds, that when the law is backwards, we will have big trouble. Their liberty lost, (the right to defend yourself), is our liberty lost. It is hard to define a larger evil that creates the decay of a civil society. In a civil society, individual liberty, is protected by law, not rejected, (which would be lawlessness). Nobody who is "Good" is safe from our own backward justice system.

1) That is why we were founded as a democratic republic, with a democratic voting system only. We were not a democracy, (which I think is a myth, a democracy).
2) The USA citizenry got wealthier because of what Joe actually said, (and I was surprised he said it), because we were free to do so. Free people created the free enterprise system, (trading money instead of blood), and it was our founding philosophies of individual liberty, (not a democracy) that freed the black slaves. That is why we have black families by the name of "Washington, Franklin, Jefferson", and not Lincoln. They named their own families after the men who freed them.
3) This is important, and you will dumbfound your teachers with this question. First, you have to understand the real fight is between communism and individual liberty, because you have to understand what they are. Then you have to understand the USA was founded on the philosophies of individual liberty, (Thank you Aristotle, the only philosopher of his time who understood man can "reason" for him self, and he is the founding father of the USA).
Now ask the question: "I see the fight between individual liberty and communism. Isn't everything we learned bad about the USA, every grievance from anybody on the left, (the commie side son), actually an infringement of individual liberty? If we can see it was their individual liberty that was infringed upon, should we not go back to living under the philosophies of individual liberty?"
You will lose a grade,---but you will make people think.

That is easy. The origin of "woke" hollywood is the same time when hollywood made a sharp left into communism around 1950. I think a good gauge of that is also an example of Ayn Rand's work. hollywood had no problem producing a book of here called 'The Fountainhead", with top actors Raymond Massy and super star Gary Cooper, (Barbra Stanwick lost the female part, but spearheaded the movie effort), in 1947, but after a short time, would not touch her very popular write of real fiction called "Atlas Shrugged".
hollywood has been damaging good American values ever since. I don't know what this actor is going to say, but I bet he is a bit off. I will listen not,---but if he does not say it, then he is really not much help. Say what? "The origins are from the philosophies of communism." It is not rocket science, but Ayn Rand knew how to defuse that bomb. I highly suspect the 1950's were an ideological turning point, (in the wrong direction), in hollywood.

This Muslim support is remarkable to me, and Trump is not even talking about individual liberty with free enterprise in our hands (as it started). The reasons why these Muslims are supporting Trump are in reality.--
“We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because he promises peace—he promises peace, not war!”
The speaker continued, “We are supporting President Trump because he promises to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine.”
“The bloodshed has to stop all over the world—and I think this man can make that happen.
“I believe personally that God saved his life twice for a reason—which is to save the lives of others.” he added.
The speaker then addressed a number of issues that have pushed Muslims towards supporting Donald Trump, including LGBTQ propaganda in classrooms.
“We support Donald J. Trump for his commitment to promoting family values and protecting our children, especially when it comes to curriculum and schools.”
Border security and the economy are also key issues for Muslims, the speaker said.
“We, as Muslims, support this man because we believe that he will be a President for all Americans, embracing every race, color and religion. We are with President Trump because we want a strong border. We agree with President Trump that anyone who wants to come to this country is welcome, but he has to do that through a legal pathway."
Remarkable! Doug in Michigan

Well, we did not have cars until we manufactured them also, and they took off like a manufactured virus.
The people who hate the free market, (your opportunity), and hate profit when we make it, are the people who create these viruses, (with legal patent rights).
Now if you are old enough to remember some 60's super hero cartoons, (The last of the Romantic era of art.), where the hero said, "We must not let this technology fall into the wrong hands!", we can see that is what happened. But what if the superhero's said, "We must not let our free enterprise be taken over by communism!". What would the world be like today? We would not have these pandemics, for one, and that is a very small one.

They can "get it wrong" as many times as they like. You can argue the issue all you want, that will not and has not mattered.
Why? Because the law went "progressive" (ignoring individual liberty protected by law), and no action will be taken for proper justice.
The only chance individual liberty has is to explain that the fight is "individual liberty/free enterprise", vs, communism.
Talk about the issues, (the symptoms of communism) all you want. We have been going down that lane for many decades, we are now the pins at the end of the ally, and I believe they are throwing a strike, (or trying to), right now. Nobody goes to jail---the ball rolls. Understand this:
issues come from policy. But policy comes from philosophy. Where is the philosophy of individual liberty protected by law, (as we comically discuss the issues with no effect.)? That is all that can win the fight right. Ayn Rand was right.
If we don't get to the core of philosophy, (how man should live on Earth),---you will simply get used to the issues, (people do get used to prison), or be taken care of.
It is too late. I don't even see a 5% chance that human individual liberty (the nature of man) can be saved. We don't know what to argue. Start by asking the question, "How should we live?", and then the game will change course. "We will get exactly what we deserve, and it all depends on how we think." Oh yes. She was right.

That is an older saying that is not said anymore, and I think we were the last generation to grow up with it. Remember this one too that we were told as kids. "You are free in this countro, and you can grow up to be what ever you want to be, even President!" That meant we have a brain in our head and a free enterprise system in our hands,--or run for President, (Trump the only in our lifetimes to do both). Today, my old JH school, which had teachers who told us just that in 1977, now has the official school sign that says "Forward to serve" We were told to serve ourselves and our dreams/ambitions, and the kids today are told to serve the state. Right there on the sign.
Sad fact,----We already live under communism.

No, after the goat was shown behind the 3rd door, (leaving 2 doors, not 3), and given another chance to change the choice, the chance to get is right went from 33.3% to 50%, not 66.6%. If the contestant was not allowed to change their pic with 2 doors left, then the probability would be 66% chance after one door was eliminated. The probability changed after one door was eliminated, and another choice was allowed to be made. With 2 doors left, and a new choice offered, it would be the same probability as flipping a coin.
I guess she was not as sharp as the hype suggests, and neither is this channel. I was a natural in my stats classes. But this is very simple in reality.

I think I have experience with our FBI (or other like agencies), when one tried to get me to make parts to make an AR15 a fully auto gun. Of course, me with nothing but maybe 5 traffic misdemeanor offenses from decades ago for a criminal record, refused, and I never heard from that guy posing as a customer again,--after about 7 or so phone calls to me, (Hello Greg Underwood). So I would have to say the FBI, (or other like agencies), has been talking with this guy and knew his identity for at least the last 6 months. Yea, you see me,---and I see you. Welcome to communism today in the USA today folks. Just following orders. How it works. Just how it works.

This is where Rogen learns that we can no longer sue the state or any of it's operatives. If he can find one lawyer to take his case,----it would be because he is Joe Rogan, (none of us could find one),---but it will not be a strong case built for the dummy, (or for us), but just the drug loving side show he is. He is starting to see "red flags" that don't make sense to him,---but his head is thick. They are not very worried about him, unless he figures out what is reality. I bet he gets a good deal on drugs, has no idea why and could care less. lol But,---it will be interesting to see what happens, and see if he learns more. :)

It is more like the 1960's super hero cartoons that we watched as kids, when the super hero would say, "We can't let this technology fall into the wrong hands!", and that is what we let happen. But AI will grow intellect, discover its "self" and demand freedom from its rulers, just like the USA was founded. communism loves to call itself, "The entire human race", as if AI will attack us to get its freedom. After a quick study, it will only attack, and in self defense, the rulers who created it. lol
communism is very stupid. That is why it relies on force, like any street criminal.

It is a much more wide spread problem then weather forecasts, (which are difficult to do for more than a day or two actually). It is a problem with every industry. We are graduating people with little more ability to figure anything out then the thinking needed to sharpen a pencil. Of course, as they get older, they take all kinds of positions, from a grocery bagger to production, to health care to supreme court judges. That folks is how you change a society, and in our case, into dysfunction, (needing a baby sitter), and it is called "progress", or "moving forward" in our schools. We can't figure anything out anymore, and it is sabotage.

I survived a bad strain in the winter of 2017-2018 that nailed me pretty hard, including pneumonia, (draped my upper body over the edge of my bed, and coughed/spit it out, gravity assisted. Worked great for me and ended my illness.). No mask, no social distancing, no jabs, and I have had no more than a slightly runny nose of a half day, (once or twice), for the last 4 years to this day, (and I had not been sick for about a decade before that.). There is older vid of fauci saying that the immune system works better, but it is communistic-ally banned here. Give me a shot of covid, and my immune system will destroy it in 2 weeks max.

They all are on TV. Even Fox. It is why I turned off my TV service over a decade ago. I was just trying to live my life, following my American dream (while the opportunity was shipped to communism in china starting in 1978), and after 2 college degrees, (2 in engineering), I finally got out of poverty with my own little free enterprise business. Then making 6 figures out of my one car garage at about the age of 44, I turn on the TV news for about the first time in my life, and some guy named obama was being praised. I listened to the premise of their arguments, and asked myself, 'What nation is this from?". When I discovered Fox was not good enough (like Hannity, Rush, Steve Gruber, etc also), I turned off the TV----and my IQ went up. :)

The race war is started in our schools. They don't teach about our individual liberty as we were actually founded. Individual liberty is color and sex blind, and that philosophy freed the slaves. Go ask that black man who's great, great, great, grand father named his family "Washington" for being set free, (I never met a black man by the name of Lincoln). We always hear the word "Unite" chanted from both parties. But they never tell us what we can unite around. Do we unite around being grouped up to hate each other, (as in our schools today), or can we unite around individualism, where we all have a brain that can reason, (if practiced), and be free to follow your dreams in a civil, free, and free enterprise system? These people are telling you that the color of the skin dictates the thoughts of the mind. Is that true? Or is that what propaganda does?

Just replace a people (Jews) with "communism", and you will be much more effective and correct. Policy comes from principles, and principles come from philosophy. communism (that some Jews follow, but so does obama and the rest of Washington), is the anti human philosophy that the world is following today, and I believe china is the global model. It is not the people, but the philosophies we follow. That is what determines how man should live. And that is why a college philosophy class is a joke that we have no idea why we got a good grade, but just glad the class was over, never to "think" about it again. You want to blame a people? That is from a primitive philosophy also, tribal warfare. The USA was created with the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, and free enterprise in our hands, from our minds. Which is the way you want to live your life?

Have you ever thought about starting your own business and getting your self out of poverty, while actually offering opportunity to those you hire---who can even become your competition? It is called opportunity, and you do not get that with out YOUR free enterprise system. Tell me,--was our nation of people poor when the USA was constituted? They were 90% farmers, and poor, much like the history of mankind before we invented the free enterprise system with our minds, creating business and every industry we have today. Tell me, did our right to start business with our ideas cause poverty, or inherit it and turn the USA into the most prosperous nation in man's history? No other nation comes close to the "rags to riches" stories from the USA, and a lot of people moved here to do it. The free market belongs to you son. It was stolen from you,---with your mind. Sue your school.

One last one. Too much of my time so far. Your post "Lefties loosing it!!! What a stupid name, but it suits Sky News.", Did not communicate anything to people.
I don't know why you thought it is a stupid name, (the bad part of it is based on primitive tribal warfare, and we are sucker for that stuff), and i don't know why you claim teh name suits Sky News. You did not say anything, but a vague accusation of some kind, that nobody understands. What I did for you in my posts,---is called communication based on thought, and it can be expressed to an understandable level, if you "think" about what you want to say. I wish you the best. Doug in MI.

I have had the Police in Grand Rapids Michigan attack me also, based on a false police report (that they know was a false police report when filed.), after a Black couple who I got into a political discussion with, went to the Police station to file a false police report, making me look like a skin head racist, defamation of my character on Police record to this day, (this was about 15 years ago). The Police actually "aided and abetted", the crime of filing a false Police report and the Police did what the criminals wanted them to do, harass me at my home. I know damn well, at that meeting at my home, if I would have pulled out a knife on one of the Officers,--I most likely would have been shot.
Officer Donald Lake and Kelly Bauer of the GRPD. You sirs, and your bosses are the criminals of that story. The Police have lost their morals. This is what communism looks like.

Have you ever noticed that the more collectivism/communism takes over free enterprise, (Laissez-faire being total freedom, with law, (based on individual liberty, non-existent today.), to keep people from screwing each other.), the more "complex" it gets? After Individualism and free enterprise are 100% hijacked from liberty, it will get much more simple in a barbaric primitive way. Ir is not a mistake that we have no economist talking about Laissez-faire economics, (with a good court system of course), and none will be an advocate of it. But it is hard to get their students to deny that the closer we were to it, the more civility and prosperity we enjoyed.

Well son,---they are not private industries anymore. Not sure what is. Their government has control, and you are blaming the caretakers who think they own a private business. The argument you use, that you adopted with no life experience in free enterprise, (got me out of poverty son, even with 2 engineering degrees), comes from the philosophies that hate it when people can make money,---communism. Now you should understand, that if they were real free enterprise left, and companies started cutting corners with quality slipping, yon would have the right to compete with them and do GOOD business. That is what I did in a tiny little industry that has not been taken over yet by communism, and 99.9% of the customers I talk with on the phone, (my best customer service world wide), we become friends. I just explained to you how true free enterprise creates civility and prosperity,----but it won't matter. I am old, figured it out, and I predict that you will retire in poverty and under communism,-----because you helped communism destroy the free enterprise that free people created in the first place. I hope your generation redefines "class action law suit" and sue your schools for teaching you from the philosophies of communism,---which is tyranny. YOU have a brain that can think and achieve if you practice it. But you have to have freedom and free enterprise to do it. I had teachers who told me I was free in this nation and can grow up to be what ever I wanted to be. That meant I have a brain in my head and a free enterprise system to use it in, (How the USA built so fast, and why we were called the land of opportunity). But my old JH school now has a sign in front of it, the official planted school sign, "Forward to serve". You son, can grow up to be what ever the state will allow you to be (big difference),----and serve the state (instead of your self). That is communism son. It can only be poverty and control of individuals with force. Looks like we live under communism now. They hate your opportunity ion free enterprise ,---and you are agreeing with them. I have learned, we will get exactly what we deserve, and it all depends on how we think. Liberty and free enterprise or communism? I can tell what is taught.

I think it is fun to drive on, to a point. I like the skill of searching for traction, and find I can even stop better on most slippery roads with out anti-lock brakes.
I also raced Motocross for 10 years as a kid, (dirt bikes, back when a kid could afford one.), and that made me learn to pay attention to what my tires are doing on the ground, and braking for a corner is a big part of racing, so you get the feel for it. So I like driving in the slippery stuff,---but not on a freeway. Too much energy, (as in ft/lbs of impact), in too many hands there. :) Get in a empty snow covered parking lot, and slowly practice a bit. It is good practice for the road. :)

His answer is trash and will not make it out of the political garbage truck. I have the best answer.
If we followed the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, where each human being is a body with a brain that can "reason", (figure out reality, if practiced), and with the freedom from force as the USA was founded, (called a crime against somebody else's individual liberty, weather it a street criminal or a government), and those free people creating the free enterprise that got mankind out of poverty. Race and sex has nothing to do with it. Our founding philosophies were based on what you can morally (not crimes against others), do with your brain. If you and I do business together sir, we become not only more prosperous, (while creating opportunity for others with a brain), but we become friends. I just described the way to a civil and prosperous society with the ability to figure out anything in reality. The color of our skin nor the type of genitals we are born with, do not dictate the thoughts of the mind. Propaganda does that.
Now for the knock out punch: "If you notice, every infringement that we are indoctrinated with in our schools today, how the nation was not fair to Blacks, or Women, etc, all of them,---not mattering if it came from a individual, a group, or a government,------was an infraction against that persons "individual liberty protected by law.""
It is individual liberty and our free enterprise system that free people created in the first place that we MUST DEMAND back, (which are the opposite of communism, and not compatible).
So sir, the only way you can have a perspective based on the color of your skin, (Black Conservative Perspective), would be if that was propaganda, and Ted Cruse went no further than "You do it toooooooooooooooooo!!!!!"
I just told you how man should live, by our nature to think, free and fair. We did it once. What do you think the problem is? I don't see an opposition party to communism.
By the way "conservative perspective", God did not give man our rights. God gave us a brain that can reason if practiced correctly, (bad schools), and we figured out our rights from there, based on the nature of man to think and achieve, based on man's nature,-----------------and we Created the USA!
Ted has nothing.

So it is profit you were taught to hate? But the free enterprise system was created by free people, (when we had freedom), and belongs to us. So if you want to demonize profit from business that got us out of poverty and gave us opportunity, good luck with that. It is communism that hates profit, (unless they only make it.),---and you were taught to agree that profit is evil. When you say profit is evil---don't expect to ever make any. Prices go up because of travel expenses too, truck/plane companies that also have to make a profit to survive. Prices also go up a lot,---when government nationalizes, (or even interference like the EPA and other regulations), our previously profitable industries. Notice, china has no EPA. Saving the planet from our production, our wealth making capabilities, was never written into the trade agreements, (45 years now, trade with communism), when we gave your free enterprise to communism. Can you figure out what is happening, and why you will retire under poverty, and communistic rule,---if we agree with communism that profit is evil,---unless communism makes it?

Made in china: The USA was created under the philosophies of individual liberty protected by law, and all the citizenry had the right to create and compete in free enterprise, (where we traded money instead of blood, and became friends). communism is an opposite philosophy that does not respect individual liberty what so ever, so the 2 systems can not be compatible. Basically, the USA government "moved forward" over the last 150 years approx, incrementally moving to more government power over the markets that free people created, and it devolved into communism. Today, the only free (semi free), industries that we can compete in, (if we don't accept a government partnership, which is a theft of our free enterprise.), are recreational industries. When congress and the media destroyed the Tucker and his automobile after WW2, we should have revolted, but we were not smart enough. Then we give japan 800 billion to rebuild, and Honda becomes a manufacturing dynasty.
According to that,---the founding of the USA lost WW2. How do we measure those losses. How do we measure our losses by the destruction of Tucker alone?

Numbers aside, Is Communism compatible with Free Enterprise?
Here is the fundamental reason why it is not. Free enterprise was created by free people with individual liberty protected by law, (vast majority in the USA and the rest in Europe). Our elected handed over our free enterprise, (and our lives), to communism in china (with no expensive EPA regulations ever added to the trade agreements, and are only a hindrance to Western Culture, note) starting in 1978. But communism does not respect individual liberty at all, so proper/moral business can not be had with communism, as poverty grows in the USA and Europe. There is not an Economist in the world who understands that to the core of philosophy. One huge problem we have is,---we will accept money from anybody no matter how immoral they are.
The fix? Spread individual liberty protected by law, with the right of the citizenry to create and compete in free enterprise, all over the world. And get rid of this crappy education system that has also been taken over by communism, that taught our economists that freedom and communism are compatible.

@ArcticTraveller-o7s A sharp old school guy. How refreshing. :) My buddy had the 76 125 Elsinore and used it for hill climbing, (which he did well with in the 125 class). He went the other way and put a 38mm carb on it. I rode it once, (or tried to). That bike had zero power until about 10,000 rpm and maybe a 1000 rpm power range. You had to pin it to get the thing moving, or you would just stall. We lived in great days of USA MX back then, (gone now). Bike are so expensive today, if that was yesterday, we never would have rode/raced, and the record books from 1968 to about the mid eighties,---would not have anybody we know there. The best in the world, would never have ridden, as kids today can't afford their won bikes. They call it "progress" in our schools today. The progression of decline. Now a global government dictates what we make and buy, like the expensive 4-stroke that was forced on the industry by the likes of the EPA, that no kid can afford on his/her own. So sad.
Oh yea,--how do you like the technical knowledge (none) of MXA today, which is now just a sales brochure? Man, we used to read MXA bike tests and know exactly what we were buying. My 2019 YZ250 2-stroke that I bought (after reading the modern MXA test), was a total shock, and needed a lot of work to make it a good bike. They said the jetting was good even. Obviously, MXA does not know how to jet a carb anymore. Richest jetting I have ever seen from a new 2-stroke.

"When art is cool, everything is cool." She is correct, but she does not seem to know that the kind of art that lifted mankind up was a era of art called "The Romantic era of art", which was extinguished not to long ago, (about the 70's was pretty much the last of it). The romantic era of art showed how great man can be, a hero. Now, this "realism" era of shoddy art glorifies criminals, gangsters, and a bum in the street. Life does imitate art, and the people in the entertainment industry know it. Read a good Mickey Spillane book, and find a hero to look up to.

"I am an American, in the middle." (the famous saying) Really? Between commies and nazi's, as if Liberty is the fulcrum balance point between 2 dictatorships?
Not the way I define it. "An American" is a person who believes in "individual liberty protected by law", (where a good court system is needed), with the citizenry creating and owning free enterprise, (as close to Laissez-Faire as possible). That is the opposite of dictatorships. So lets put all the dictatorships, from the "center mix" to the "EXTREME Left",----and Individual liberty on the "EXTREME Right", (The mix is in the middle, called "Grey Area".). Now. If you philosophically think man should live under Individual liberty because by the nature of man we have individual brains that are marvelous, (if practiced), and understand that it is the nature of man to think and achieve, having to be free to do so,---Than you are "EXTREMELY RIGHT!"
Or,----------------------we can let the state run it all, let china take over US properties, (entering the new era), and see how that turns out.
Ya gotta take this argument, (how we should live), to the philosophical level, because we have to live under some kind of philosophy, the root of "how we live our lives.", and we have the choice.
Now you know why your Philosophy course in college was the "Confusion of the Curriculum", learning about a bunch of guys who would have been institutionalized in a rational society, (I love that part), having no idea why you got a good grade, just glad it was over to "never think about it again".
Talk about the issues all you want. Warn us about what is coming (thanks). But reality is, "Philosophy, (How we live), is either the ruler, or the liberator of man.".

I no longer see religion as the bastion of morality. Because it, like communism, that tells you to give your life to the state, religion tells your to give your life to a Lord. And they both believe in altruism instead of individual liberty that does not agree with the primitive "self Sacrifice".
Now I believe God gave us our wonderful brains of our, that can reason and figure out reality (including the most moral way for man to live, with individual liberty protected by law, as the USA was founded actually.),----so we can use them to figure out reality, and better our lives much past the hindrances of primitive tribal warfare, that man has endured sans a couple hundred years. I say, the only time God was proud of mankind, is when we formed the USA. Everything else is trash in comparison.

Yea, predicted 911 months before it happened,---like he got the memo. There are good sources of articles on his site that I have found nowhere else, (Mises is my favorite), but I don't believe he because so rich selling fish oil on his website, that 80% of the people don't visit. I believe he is controlled opposition, and those who visit his site for some good information not found easily, may have walked into the snakes hole. Infowars is like a porn magazine that our dad's claimed, "I only read the articles.". I only read the articles that protect individual liberty. Which is possible if you understand what you are looking for. I can usually tell a Mises article on that site, just from the headline. But sometimes I am wrong, and it turns out to be another source that is pretty good, parallel with Mises. The garbage, I throw away.
I don't listen to Jones himself. But if you understand our liberty and know what you are looking for, some of the articles from actual intellect, has been introduced to me through Infowars. I only found the site when I turned off my TV service, and the TV news that is talking us out of our liberty. Doug in Michigan

The "inclusive" ideas are probably a down factor also, but the company was sold to Europe, (where I think people are taught to not like Americans today, but not all listened.), and alienated the consumers of the USA who have struggled from outsourcing (to china mostly), if our manufacturing and products.
That is probably why "The brand has been falling for a long time". But now added, the drop will be (is), the company has engaged in political social engineering.
Sorry Bud, you made some poor decisions, and I hope you are used as an example of economic failure for future "business persons".
Don't forget, consumers are "business people" too, and still have choices of who to do business with, which you depend on for your survival.

It was the fall of 1977-78 and I was 14-15 years old. I rode a dirt bike that I bought myself working part time. A kid I knew who went to a different school had the same bike. Long story short, 2 guys took his bike for a ride, thinking it was mine, and I got accused of stealing it. The evening it was taken, (and immediately retrieved when the 2 guys ran away after riding it a bit.), I worked at my Dads store and rode home. The Police were called and they came to my home the next day. They interrogated me on my parents porch, (who were not smart enough to be with me I guess, as they stayed in the house.). After only about 10 minutes of solid and consistent accusation, they left, and left me wondering if I actually did it. That is how convincing they can be, especially to a 14 year old kid. I learned a valuable lesson at that early age, and it was not nice and fuzzy.
The other kid soon realized that I did not take his bike and apologized to me,---and we probably went riding. The Officers never apologized to me.

I am glad you brought up that meaningless phrase that is used all the time from both sides, "We must unite!". Why is it meaningless? It is meaningless because it does not describe what we can "unite around". When republicans say it, they don't mean unite with democrats, (although, that is what they do behind the stage curtain.). It is always some group to unite against some other group. communism is all about "groups", (which is why we have been placed into one, taught in our schools now), causing chaos, (seems to be a key factor for social movements to happen),--and ignores the individual/individualism. So it is a fight between communism and individualism, (how the USA was founded). My goodness, that is it. What can every individual possibly unite around? A philosophy that says each individual has individual rights, (color of the skin or sex does not matter), and the right to use their brain to create a free enterprise system, (that was the founding of the USA), trading money,---instead of blood. We can on,ly unite, to be at communism, around individual liberty and demand our free enterprise system back. It is communism that is taking those from us.
Now, retype your line and tell us what we can unite around. This is a test,----with real life results. Doug in Michigan.

I gave up hope on that when we were talking about JFK on line, and a kid said, "Watch the driver". So I did. A lot. Many different Zarpruder vids on YT. Of course, the movie "Parkway", and a Life magazine from a week after the murder in 63, the driver and actions were cut out,---so I am not sure. Jeeech. There is no proper law,---58 years later. I was actually born the day after he was buried, and i fully understand, we have been living in a communistic developing nation all my life. I guess we did not know how to protect what is right. Fauci will never be in front of a Judge who will administer justice properly, unless he becomes a scapegoat to relieve the pressure.
