  1. Grenell is the kind of public servant we need.

  2. I know press secretaries are never unbiased, but Psaki lies like crazy. Solution to the beer bug: IGNORE IT!

  3. Donald Trump understood deterrence.

  4. Haha--I resemble David Janet's remark about thinking that all the plastic hounds around me had so much more money. I didn't know that they were charging everything! My Great Depression-raised folks inculcated a cash-only mentality in me.

  5.  @AndyFromBeaverton  Excellent! I feel the same way about the president I helped elect with my Wisconsin ex-Dem vote in 2016. He also has all the best enemies. He does. Everyone says so. 😉

  6. The bedwetting Karens of this country who faint at the thought of an out-of-pocket medical expense and who have never handled a dead body are sorely in need of a reality check. Life is unfair. Everybody dies.

  7. Great interview. I just bought the audio version of Murray's Madness of Crowds and am listening to it as I work. What a relief to hear something intellectually honest from a gay person after years of arrogant, pushy posturing from the media and the corporate world about all things gay. I was pro-gay rights forever, but the relentless dogma raining down was making me feel reactionary and uncharitable toward the whole issue. I hope the other three areas that Murray writes about are treated as honestly. It's refreshing.

  8. Ignore the fear mongering and live life the way we ALWAYS have lived during a respiratory virus outbreak. Free, able to go wherever, unmuzzled and unvaccinated. My 87 year old COPD mother pulled through the disease in a blink. If she could do it, you probably can, too. Almost certainly can, I should say!

  9. He makes Eric Holder seem a little bit more reasonable than before.

  10. Boy oh boy, is my kid ever a Cartman!

  11. The 2011 recall in Wisconsin failed because the only aggrieved parties were members of the teachers' union, and most of the state loved what their GOP governor was doing. I'm hoping that this recall succeeds, because it is obvious that most of California hate what their governor is doing.

  12.  @undergrounddojokeyboardcag701  You're contentious and very boring.

  13. I'm an agnostic, but when I hear someone say that God, if He existed, would not let horrible things happen to innocents is just another way of saying, "I am a person incapable of thinking of God other than as another human being". It's always a question worth asking, but it is proof of nothing. It's also very off-putting when presented as a conclusion to people who do have faith.

  14. Dave seems about a mile wide and an inch deep. I no longer give a damn about his journey away from the left. For one thing, many of us Democrats woke up and shifted right YEARS before he did.
    8
  15. Grennell us a real gem.
    8
  16. Just as Bolsheviks stood between parents and their children. It ultimately failed, but only after decades of misery. What is wrong with these people?
    8
  17. Vladimir P. recently likened the Woke to Bolsheviks. He was amazed that people seemingly have forgotten what a big flop that was, for, among other things, supplanting children's parents with state-approved teacher puppets.

  18. Old Joe is 78 . . . why would he start standing up to grift and authoritarianism at this late date? He has always been a willing stooge for the backer with the fattest wallet.

  19. Trying to be relevant in a sad, pathetic way has always been Gore's MO. As when he showcased his sister's death from lung cancer during his presidential campaign for no discernible reason.

  20. Back to making your husband a sandwich, Megs.

  21. And the result of incompetence is hard to distinguish from the result of evil.

  22.  @AndyFromBeaverton  Your cat would make a better director than Grenell? I don't get it; Grenell is a Donald Trump ally. Or did you mean Christopher Wray? That fellow is a shrinking violet who cares what the Deep State consensus is. Please clarify.

  23.  @06rtm  Start with the fact that he's married to Elaine Chao.

  24. You don't have to die fighting. Just exercise your rights. I will join you. Many courageous people will join you.

  25. That seemed like a platitudinous letter rapping the hoi polloi on the nose with a rolled-up NYT. "We're too established to brook your criticism." If the insipid Yglesias is to be canceled by a trans-thing, at least let it be over a stronger statement covering everyone, not just the cliquish liberal gatekeepers. Sheesh.

  26. A regular flu vaccine really lit up my existing autoimmune disease years ago, so I'm in no hurry to take this rush job for a disease that even my 87 y.o. mother with severe COPD/CHF survived.

  27. It is as if they regard their constituents as collections of objects to be used. May they pass from this earth in obscurity and misery.

  28. That laughter . . . My first impression was that she used it to stall, so she could think. Or perhaps it was nervous laughter. But watching it tonight I was wondering if it was an organic brain problem. There is a form of inappropriate laughter that people with advancing MS can show, called "pseudobulbar affect ". Just a thought. Whatever the cause, it is repulsive. She is so odd!

  29. Not an argument. Just your smelly opinion, unsupported.

  30.  @SneakyLittleHobbit  Good on you. I'm married to an electrical engineer from NOLA. He spent decades testing engines at NASA. Most of our big-brained friends tend to have southern accents for that reason. There are no real aerospace jobs up here in the great white north, sadly. (Maybe our legislators should have worked harder to lure it up north, too)

  33. Beard use is traditionally a sign of a return to political conservatism.

  34. 2013: they repealed Smith-Mundt, okaying propaganda.

  35. Well said, Wendell! I'm from northern Wisconsin, but I'm married to a southerner, and I feel as if rural Mississippi and Lousiana feel very much like home, because of the fine people there. Much more so than, say, northern California or Minneapolis, Minnesota.

  36. Media talking heads are not the Electoral College. Who cares what Ms. Bloody Eye thinks? She's vapid and she's desperate.

  37. Who is "they"?

  38. Great comment. They put so much energy into showing concern for others--often without consulting their targets, and with very little in the way of results.

  39. Drop the word "safe" while you're at it. Safetyism is ridiculous.

  40. I think De Santis needs to make Florida a laboratory for freedom, first. I'll vote for DJT again.

  41. Get bent, you Aussie freak. You don't know what you're prattling on about.

  43. I'm down 32 lbs. I prefer to work hard, personally. I'm sure you do, too.

  44. I had a professor who was one of Fidel's abogados during the revolution. After the revolution, he almost immediately was jailed and tortured. He spent the rest of his life trying to deprogram young, radical American students. I'll never forget him.
    2
  45. Definitely resembles Parkinson's.
    2
  46. The spoken word is really Donald Trump, Jr.'s, proper medium. He's quite the bulldog. More power to him. Thanks, Rubin Report, for this interview.
    2
  47. Makes me ashamed to have a Greek surname, too.
    2
  48. Indeed. I can't believe we held still for the PATRIOT act, torture, and pointless wars. No one has ever said they love the TSA, either.

  49.  @jenni0278  Old Bugs Bunny meme, misspelling a word that gets censored nowadays on some forums.

  50. The ferocity of the groupthink was worse than during the Gulf or Iraq wars. Every nimrod was mouthing the propaganda. I lost respect for way too many people.
    2
  51. It's as if the whole leftist crowd has a collective personality or characterological disorder. It's true!
    2
  52. Oh, the pity of it all! You don't know very much about the immune system, do you? Bet you also wet the bed when you hear a strange noise in the house. And how are you so sure that you haven't killed a few people by spreading a virus to them?
    2
  53. That, and "bananas".
    2
  54. Inner peace = not needing external approval. Chasing after "likes" and pennies and things and status is a disgusting way to live.

  55. My own childhood home in Milwaukee has become one of the worst killing fields.
    2
  56. They helped an election proceed in Wisconsin, so vulnerable older poll workers could stay home. Thanks, National Guard! Edit: I'm a nurse in my 50s who is not afraid of this stupid virus, and I'm not ground pork.

  57. Come on. If they were freshly barbered, you'd be grouchy over that, too. I recognize your type.

  58.  @CrankyBarista  Just read Who Will Tell the People? We have been dealing with a deaf rogue state for decades. It is no wonder people take it lying down. We have been groomed to feel powerless.

  59.  @richardcraig8780  Good for you! Glad to hear it! As for me, I'm a registered nurse with nothing to do, at the moment. Anxious to start taking shifts again.
    2
  60. And it was abused. Numerous times.
    2
  61.  @hartkopz86  Try to keep up with the times. Your line is very stale.
    2
  62.  @alskooper3319  I've noticed that my 2011 car with tons of airbags has really rotten visibility and big blind spots. A car with lane alarms and a rear view camera would drive me bats. Great example of diminishing returns.
    2
  63. I remember feeling irked at the sheer, repetitive message discipline of the Bush administration, although not nearly as much with Perino as with Karen Hughes, who could kill a give-and-take in record time.
    2
  64.  @apnwu369  My jeweler sister tells me, a nurse of several decades, that she knows more about pathogens than I do. She won't say how, or mount an argument against my own, however. Yes, she lives in California.

  65. In my estimation, President Trump combines the best of liberty-mindedness and adherence to rule of law with pragmatism --a quality almost entirely missing in the Libertarian Party. If they want to be regarded as a viable party, then the Libertarians had better act like a real party, rather than as a booger-picking rump session of a freshman Philosophy 101 class.

  66. Disobey.

  67. She didn't survive it--she told them to stuff it.

  68. Makes me wonder what the average commute and average mpg are. And I miss my little Festiva--it got almost 60 mpg on the highway, doing 65 mph.

  69. During the AIDS outbreak, people did debate quarantining infected people, but the idea was dismissed as unthinkable. As it should have been, since HIV is so extremely hard to catch. COVID-19 is easy to catch, but not very lethal . . . the idea of quarantining healthy people and shuttering businesses should have likewise been unthinkable in the Sweet Land of Liberty . . . But we've turned into children. sigh

  70. Disobey, then.

  71. Monogamous cultures tend to be less violent.

  72. I never did care for Bush' policies, but the "BDS" going around seemed to be excessive, emotional, and personal, which doesn't speak well of the character of Democrats. And TDS really is much worse than BDS. I've lost so much respect for the intelligence of garden-variety Democrats since Trump took office. I've lost friends because of their emotional incontinence.

  73. It might be that keeping kids sequestered just sets us up for more waves of infection. I hope this is the last time we shutter schools. They aren't really good for much except herd immunity in recent years.

  74. Good luck, Californians! I don't think my Humboldt Co. sister will be of any help to you, but you've got my Wisconsin prayers.

  77. There is a lot of misinformation leading women to think that they can just wait until their 40s, but almost no woman can, without donor eggs. All those celebrities aren't admitting that they used a donor. And women often feel career-driven. Hope she doesn't regret substituting a dog for a child.

  78. Wisconsin nominally had lockdown, but nobody in the red districts complied, much. Not after the first month. Cross your fingers that we can ditch our dweebish, usurper, teachers' union stooge Dem governor. I thank goodness that our supreme court finally struck his nannyism down.

  83. The ruling elite are hardly our best--the ones in control now had special connections and a leg up, two or three generations in. But they've been raised to believe that they're the best and brightest. Americans should not have to take orders from mediocre legacy hires. Why should we listen at all to our inferiors?

  84.  @RockHudrock  a goodly percentage of Parkinson's patients become demented and delusional. They may hallucinate, as well.

  85.  @lampefot  Well, he does a great Cartman imitation. Beavis & Butthead, too.

  86.  @seanl1164  Boomers to the left of me, Millennials to the right. Here I am, stuck in between two gargantuan cohorts of whiny bitches. Go, Xers! The barn cat generation.

  87. Look at all the freedoms we gave up during the Bush administration. It's hard to believe what life was like before 9/11.

  88. No, they won't. Nobody can possibly be that stupid.

  89. Mitch McConnell is late changing my tampon.

  90.  heroinhero69  I will deal with it ONLY after the recounts and court cases! My state, Wisconsin, is the birthplace of both Fighting Bob LaFollette and the Republican Party, and used to be known for its clean politics. I will "deal with it" after I am satisfied that we have done all we can to investigate and adjudicate. If you were a reasonable person, you would be saying "Wait and investigate", too.

  91. Personally speaking, it was the scariest, most depressing drug I ever took. I thought I would lose my personhood along with even my ability to speak. And when the drug's effect was not so severe, it merely made me paranoid. Worst "recreational" drug, ever. A substantial proportion of people do find marijuana disruptive and unpleasant. Why do some people obsess over how wonderful it is? They deserve an honest counterpoint.

  92. Harness him to a generator.

  93. He says he does now. I used to vote Democratic, and I knew the left bias was there, just not as bad as the right claimed. But nowadays, left-biased media is much worse than what right-leaning pundits used to complain about. It's plunged into propaganda and polemics, now.

  94. Congenital agnostic and ex-left leaner, here. The older I get, the more agreeable a politician's rather general reference to God is. Hearing Trump, who keeps his private life out of his speeches, talk about the general American Deist God and seeing his policies bolstering freedom of religion strikes me as pitch-perfect. Leave intolerance of faith to the Democratic dumpster fire. They're bigots.

  95. Dan's Perino is both a beauty and very bright. What a pity she never became a mother.

  96. What sane Mexican-American likes seeing our government become as broken and corrupt as Mexico's--using poor Latinos as pawns the whole time?

  97. And anxiety. I know. I used to be there. Anxiety about fools and the arrogance to think that I know what's best for them. Sorry about that. (I've learned better, now)

  98. The elitists running this country 1) really hate the hoi polloi and 2) really think we're stupid. It's just cute, coy word games with them.

  102. Ignore Jaxon in the comments; his gullibility and complacency is showing.

  103. It's amazing how petulant people then get about one's lack of availability. "Why don't you answer your phone?" Is an obnoxious and increasingly common complaint that I hear. Always being reachable by telephone is my idea of a nightmare. I have never liked using the phone.

  104. Hilarious that anybody would do so. It's a rather constricted gig.

  105. He clears his throat a lot, you'll notice.

  106. Did you hear Obama's latest conference call? He can't speak. Took him an eternity to get one sentence out. He's in way over his head, it seems.

  107. I love how outspoken and fearless Mr. Horowitz is. And, as a left-leaner who has reformed, myself, I find someone like Horowitz unusually credible.

  108. Yes, but how do you really feel?

  109. Blow it out yer butt, Southwick!

  110.  @CrankyBarista  I suspect you were being rhetorical in service of your utter astonishment that people sell out their country at all. That makes you not only gifted with wisdom, but integrity as well. Don't change, you cranky barista!

  111. Where do you live? Here in Wisconsin, we're doing our thing. Most people I see don't bother with masks. I'd like to see small businesses start up regardless of what our dim bulb governor says. He seems to hate productive people.

  112. Pretty sure I had it a couple months ago. Like a mild flu or bad cold, but nothing to write home about.
