That Columbia graduation is the creepiest thing ever, made my skin crawl. I don't know what's creepier, the Karenocrat reciting the loyalty oath or the people willing to mumble along. Nice to know that the first act of all these physicians is parroting lies and pledging fealty to political correctness.

I hate Soviet America.

The only thing that matters in this election is whether the Democrats can, prior to election night, guess (using polling and analytics) the delta between "expected" poll results vs how many votes they need to find in 7-10 precincts, in 5-7 states in order win.

If they determine they can't close the gap, without being obvious, they'll deploy political violence.

It really is that simple.

Well said, and I don't think you could have put it any more forcefully or succinctly. I'll be leaning on it heavily should anyone ask me for my thoughts on the upcoming election.

I wonder how many of those 89% of Ivy League graduates are in favor of “strict rationing of meat, electricity, and gas to fight climate change”, would in favor of it if it only applied to those who favor it & would that majority to do not now approve this, how many would approve it if it only applied to those 89% of grade inflated college debt erased Ivy League graduates?

Those who favor it can apply the rationing already, voluntarily. It's more about exercising power on those they consider their "lessers". Their idea of it is probably similar to how it worked in communist countries with special stores for the ruling class that offered a wider variety of products. Also works well with a social credit system, perhaps tied with carbon credits so rich people still can fly private.

Of course you are correct Nils. It is entirely about privilege. The rationing of goods & services will apply only to those who can not afford the privilege or connection of more.

The Anatomy of a Shit Show graphic is an important reminder of how authoritarians operate. They all use fear and guilt to build power over decent people.

On a positive note, it seems that they weren't able to sustain this (unlike e.g. the TSA). Some people feared that masking, lockdowns and vax-passports were here to stay.

Watching Tucker devour that woman has made my day, and it's still early. All of these were wonderful.

Ten? If you ever just deliver to promise instead of over delivering by five-fold, I’ll eat my hat
