We all know God’s Chosen are a people of the highest moral probity, devoted to Tikkun Olam, or healing the world. So if this happened, they cannot be to blame. Personally, I think the dogs are responsible for their own actions. They were probably German Shepherds.
“I am taking great pains to say I don’t mean to be antisemitic with my anti-rape dog rhetoric”
This is the point we have arrived at. A writer takes pains to apologize for suggesting that having dogs rape prisoners might not meet the highest standard of ethical behavior.
I hate to repeat, for the thousandth time, the cliche, “If you want to know who rules over you, ask who you are not allowed to criticize.”
I propose a new and simpler version of that saying: “If you want to know who rules over you, go to a synagogue”.
About half the time, Caitlin Johnstone has a thoughtful and interesting perspective. The other half, her stuff is at the level of that old poster…I think my girlfriend had one in about 1972…”War is harmful to children and other living things.” No shit, Sherlock Holmes.
It is facile and puerile to point out that war is bad, poverty is bad, homelessness is bad, lack of education is bad, lack of health care is bad…hell, “drugs are bad, mmmmkayyy?”
The question is, what are we going to do about it? And I don’t mean, “Well, we should end poverty”, as one of CJ’s recent articles suggested. I mean what exactly, in detail, do you suggest we do, that will not create a solution that is worse than the original problem?
The reason we are in the state we are in is partly because of our own stupidity, ignorance, and lack of talent; it is partly because of the disgusting corruption of our so-called leadership; but it is largely because no one has really figured out a way to cure all these endemic problems, without creating hell on earth…as for example Karl Marx and his followers.
I think the Constitution and Declaration of Independence come as close as possible to a workable blueprint for a functional society, but our leadership has been wiping its collective ass on those documents for many decades. I don’t hear Caitlin Johnstone complaining about that, nor do I hear her proposing anything better, beyond juvenile slogans like “Eat the rich”. So…
These are excellent ideas. You really are an idea guy, and you should have a position in Trump’s cabinet, or at least a weekly show to put your novel concepts out there.
But to expand on your thoughts…we certainly should be executing the poor, just as a farmer kills off inferior pigs instead of wasting food on them and even, may heaven forfend, allowing them to breed.
But what about the children of the poor? Well, I suggest a publicity campaign to replace the tradition of the Thanksgiving turkey, with the Thanksgiving baby. It is the nature of America, that if the TV says to do a thing, often enough, Americans will do that thing.
I can’t imagine a better incentive to get Americans off their couches and back to work, than an annual culling of the bottom 10%. And as far as everyone being above average…I used to teach high school math, and every year we were exhorted to accomplish exactly that. Everyone is very smart, and everyone is going to Princeton. If we only close our eyes and wish really hard, it will be so.
I know this is “mission creep”, but can we do something about the fat people while we’re at it?
“I tend to grow weary of “soft well wishes” stated as goals”
My motto is, “More good, less bad”. You’re saying you’re AGAINST that?
I usually like CJ’s stuff, but lordy, this is naive. If we have the answer to the problem of poverty, why don’t you spell it out, beyond pablum like “becoming kinder and gentler.” Give me the details on how we can become kinder and gentler without being eaten alive by those who are less kind and gentle. Give me the details on how we can support poor people without motivating huge masses of other people to stop working and take the free goodies. If “capitalism” is so terrible, give me the details on what is to replace it, hopefully without employing the iron tyranny of an all-powerful soul-crushing state. In fact, you can’t. As you say, it has never been done before, and there is a reason for that: no one has ever figured out how to do it. The closest anyone has come is the Founding Fathers, who recognized the universal human desire for money and power, and set up systems to limit, control, and channel it…which systems we are busily undermining every day.
As I said, I usually feel that your stuff is worth reading. This sort of vague, nebulous, cliche-ridden, unthinking, mealy-mouthed tripe about how poverty is bad and we should all be nice and billionaires have too much money and that causes other people to not have enough money, is unworthy of you.
Trump has an answer for the threat of Chinese technological advance, and it’s the same as his answer to everything else: threats, lies, bullying, pointless meandering speeches, insulting nicknames, slapping on tariffs, removing those tariffs, printing money, giving money away, more debt, kissing Israel’s ass, blowing up fishing boats…
I propose a constitutional amendment. In addition to a chronological age requirement for the presidency, there should be a psychological and emotional age requirement. I think requiring a mental age above six would have weeded out this President, and a few others.
“The seven million people in Israel, they are not my co-religionists, they are my siblings.”
In other words, they are your extended family, which is really what a race is. Nobody has screeched louder and longer about racism when practiced by white Christians in America, than the Jews have. But in reality, nobody is more tribal and racist than Jews. Now, most of them are smart enough to be subtle about it. It no longer surprises me when Jews are tribal and racist. It does surprise me when they are stupid enough to say so out loud.
This woman’s beliefs are nothing unusual in the Jewish community. She simply has a small IQ and a big mouth.
1. Because he wasn’t Hillary
2. Because he wasn’t Kamala.
Exactly. The answer to “How could you vote for that awful man?” is always, “Give me someone else I can vote for ”
However, it is interesting why, over the 2 year course of this war, I have yet to hear ANY Western MSM outlet call for Hamas to simply return ALL the hostage, lay down their weapons and surrender for the good of the people they supposedly represent, to save the lives of civilians they claim to be fighting for. Perhaps these outlets DO subscribe to what you write but are too fearful to come out and say that they support a terrorist organization?Replies: @Observator, @Alec80, @Ferrata, @Anon, @Pbar
"But is that what’s really going on here or are many of these countries simply acknowledging that Hamas is not a terrorist organization at all but a national liberation movement that is justified in defending its land from foreign occupation?"
The Palestinians have been around a hell of a lot longer than the Ashkenazi Jews who make up so large a proportion of the population and leadership of Israel.
I do love your reasoning, though. I am 70, and have lived my street a lot longer than my neighbor, who is in his 30’s. Therefore I am entitled to kill him and take his house and his wife. She’s a real honey, so I am looking forward to it.
The house is pretty nice, too.
“Possible slogans that Pentagon leaders have discussed include…”
How about, “Kill a Pali for Charlie”?
I don’t believe Trump has ever read a book in his life, including the ones he supposedly wrote. So him praising English authors is a bit like a fish praising a bicycle maker or a worm speaking for a certain hairbrush manufacturer.
Getting Trump…the shallowest, flightiest, and most ADHD national leader ever known…to read a book, is a lost cause. It might be good if he would sit down sometime with a tutor, who could take him line by line through the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, the greatest works of prose that America has produced.
Too bad Antonin Scalia is not alive to take on this job. But it should not be hard to find someone. I have seen guests on Jerry Springer who understood more about the Bill of Rights than Trump does, and I am not exaggerating when I say that. I have in mind the toothless hillbilly who said to “Jerry”, “Yew cain’t tell me tuh shut up, cuz o’ the FIRST AMENDMENT!”
It's not so complicated. All Trump has to do is get through the First Amendment

"...Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press...".
“Trump has much bigger fish to fry,”
In my opinion, the only fish Trump is frying these days is, “Hey look over here, at what I just did, and FORGET about those pesky Epstein files, which contain nothing at all about Mossad blackmailing half the government into doing Israel’s will.”
All this clean-up-the-cities stuff is just part of that, and we the American sheeple will swallow it whole , as we always do.
Mr Putz, it’s a real piece of luck that they didn’t put you in the cage with the bear and the eagle, or use the masturbation death machine on you, or freeze you solid and then break you into chunks. Your scuba gear would not have saved you. Sounds like you truly are one of God’s favorites.
I couldn't help but laugh. This is almost satire. A pity that she did survive though...Replies: @Pbar
It hurt. The experience was almost more than I could bear. I begged him to stop. Afraid he would kill me, I pleaded with him to honor my commitment to Haiti, to him as a brother in the mutual struggle for an end to our common oppression, but to no avail. He didn’t care that I was a Malcolm X scholar. He told me to shut up, and then slapped me in the face. Overpowered, I gave up fighting halfway through the night.
How can he not have cared, while he was raping her, that she was a Malcolm X scholar? Hard to fathom that…
Those 32 ” Worst of the worst”…what do they have in common? Nothing, nothing at all. I don’t see race.
Trump (and I voted for him BTW) has rudely shoved GW Bush off the pedestal he occupied as the most willfully ignorant President the US has ever had. Trump knows no history and reads nothing, not newspapers, not magazines, probably not even the book he “wrote”. Thus I would be very surprised if Trump even knows that Netanyahu lied through his teeth to get us to do his dirty work in Iraq. Netanyahu (through Mossad) apparently knew at the time that Iraq had no WMD’s, but kept that little bit of info to himself.
Bush, who was as stupid as he was ignorant, was happy to be led by the nose into a war he wanted, for his own selfish egotistical reasons…and did I mention that he was stupid…
Trump, who equals or exceeds Bush in those categories, seems in general not to relish war. But since he has no base of knowledge and no guiding beliefs, his current opinion on anything depends on what the last guy he talked to said to him. And unfortunately, DC being what it is, the last guy he talked to is usually going to be a Zionist Jew.
“The real way to support American workers is through federal measures opposite to those favored by Trump, including universal health coverage, ”
More taxes.
“support for unionization”
Driving up production costs and driving jobs out of the country.
“and budget support for modern infrastructure, ”
More taxes.
“including green energy”
More taxes.
“all financed with higher, not lower, taxes on the wealthiest Americans”
Taking money out of the hands of wealthy people who would otherwise invest it and create jobs and production.
“and corporate sector”
More corporate taxes, paid by the people who buy the products of those corporations.
In other words, bend over, America, and lube up. If you aren’t getting it in one end from DJT, you are going to get it in the other end from guys who think like this.
“Though there’s still little to no evidence that pro-Palestinian demonstrators made antisemitic statements or committed antisemitic acts — every directly sourced claim of anti-Jewish speech turns out to be anti-Zionist instead — accusing Columbia of inaction is unfair.”
You seem to be saying that it is unfair that these protestors were arrested, because they actually are not anti-Semitic. This implies that if they actually were anti-Semitic, well, that would be a different matter. Begging your pardon, but the way I understand both the Bill of Rights and American tradition, everyone has the right to be as anti-Semitic as they like, and to express those opinions, short of physical violence.
Good argument. “Other places don’t have free speech. Therefore we shouldn’t either.”
Jews are filled with contradictions.
The liberal or secular ones sincerely think what the Jews are doing is a blessing to the non-Jews (Tikkun Olam: “healing the world”). The Talmudic ones intend for Jews to take over the world and either kill or enslave all the non-Jews, whom they regard as soulless cattle or “beasts.” Both think the Jews have a right to rule their own country and everyone else’s country.
When they are in other people’s countries, Jews immediately set out to take over the key institutions of influence and power: media, entertainment, fine arts, publishing (soft power), law, finance, banking, business (medium power) and government and foreign policy (hard power).
Jews throughout the world work together in coordination, while other groups fight and compete with each other. Being an international diaspora with thousands of organizations and strong loyalty to each other has enabled the Jews to dominate international finance and given them the money to buy other people’s loyalty and punish their enemies.
They harbor an intense dislike for whites and Christians, the former because Romans destroyed their Temple and the latter because Christ exposed and denounced their grift.
The liberal or secular Jews think they are doing non-Jews a big favor by encouraging mass immigration and multiculturalism, and they see no contradiction in rejecting those things for Israel. This is why arguing with a Jew is almost pointless. They can rationalize anything, no matter how absurd.
Another source of Jewish power is their ability to sell themselves as the most victimized of peoples. If a man is kicked out of every bar in town, whose fault is that? Most would say it’s the man’s fault. But when it comes to the innumerable times Jews have been expelled from different countries, cities and towns, it has never been their fault as far as they are concerned.
Thus, the much-exaggerated pogroms that they supposedly endured in Russia and eastern Europe had “nothing to do” with them cheating their non-Jewish neighbors. The numerous expulsions they endured during the Middle Ages had nothing to do with them being members of the king’s Court and serving as his tax farmers, mercilessly squeezing money out of the common people and enjoying rights and privileges denied to the commoners (who they treated with contempt — as literally being filthy and vile).
Jews have managed to get countries to forbid questioning the Holocaust, but it seems that this supposedly worst persecution in world history (it wasn’t) has been very much exaggerated. Then there is the matter of the Jews regarding themselves as God’s chosen people and as superior to everyone else – an attitude that is hardly endearing.
It seems impossible that people can forever remain blind to these Jewish traits, which are hardly hidden. When the Jews started migrating to the US in large numbers in 1881, they took care — following the advice of German Jews who had arrived earlier — to hide their subversive activities. As late as the 1960’s, their television shows and Hollywood movies were reasonably patriotic and positive about the white majority in the US.
Then the knives started coming out – using blacks and other nonwhite minorities and immigrants as a proxy army against whites, suing to remove Christianity from the public square, promoting every form of degeneracy, overtly defaming white people, and portraying the US in the worst possible light.
Even with all of this, the Jew remains invisible to the larger public. By financing the career of Cyrus Scofield, he’s gotten evangelical Christians on his side. By controlling the media, he has been able to promote lies and censor the truth. Through his sheer monetary power, he has inspired “fear of the Jew” in those few non-Jews whose eyes are open. They risk losing their jobs, careers, business clients, etc., if they openly criticize the Jew.
What is the psychology that makes the Jew so antisocial, so at odds with his fellow human beings? Because of Jewish inbreeding (rarely marrying non-Jews) and extreme in-group preference over thousands of years, few Jews feel comfortable in a non-Jewish environment. They can’t live and let live. They have to meddle and try to reshape the world the way they would have it.
One Jewish businessman in a book the title of which I forget said he couldn’t stand the goyim because of what he considered to be their lack of seriousness and their preoccupation with sports and games. Sports and games! This actually offended him to the point that he said he could not live comfortably in a world that was not totally Jewish. In contrast to the “superficial” goyim, his soul ached to unify itself with what he took to be God (“G-d”), who of course would have to be Jewish like him.
Jewish power is a remarkable achievement, but it comes at the price of a loss of freedom, prosperity, safety and happiness for the majority of people. And people can only take so much. Accordingly, even if the Jews are still safe, their policies are not. What will happen next? Who knows? We shall see. The Jews won’t restrain themselves; that’s for sure. It’s pedal to the metal all the way until they hit the wall. It always has been.
Is this really true? How do you explain the apparant 180 degree shift in so many far-left, jew approved, "woke" policies. Why is the Zionist/Jewish Occupied Government suddenly doing things like:
The Jews won’t restrain themselves; that’s for sure. It’s pedal to the metal all the way until they hit the wall. It always has been.
That sounds similar to the December 2024 tweet by Vivek Ramaswamy, who is a Hindu.
One Jewish businessman in a book the title of which I forget said he couldn’t stand the goyim because of what he considered to be their lack of seriousness and their preoccupation with sports and games.
The earth existed for billions of years and absolutely nothing happened. Then there was a Holocaust, because of anti-Semitism. Then on October 7th 2024 Hamas attacked Israel, also because of anti-Semitism. Since then, nothing else has happened.
Read The Treatment and the Cure by Peter Kocan, also Fresh Fields by same author. The oddest most original semi-autobiographies you will ever read.
A sudden 8 day fast out of nowhere might be unwise. Consider an alternative. Cut down on carbohydrates for a couple of weeks. Your body will become adapted to burning fat, because you are eating more of it. Then start doing intermittent fasting: only eat during a certain window of time, say 8 hours to start, maybe 9 to 5 each day.
Because your body is adapted to burning fat, it will more readily switch over to burning body fat. You will not be tired or hungry. Then you can narrow your eating window down to 6, 4, or 2 hours, or just eat one meal a day, if you choose.
There are remarkable and proven health benefits to this, (look up autophagy), and it is a habit you can maintain for the rest of your life.
You may be surprised to find that as your metabolic health recovers, you find life much less gay, boring, and stupid. And you may find a renewed enthusiasm for your vital work of bashing the Jews, nigs, and morons. I certainly hope so.
“It’s highly unlikely that anyone would have gotten worked up over studies on a particular shellfish or a species of trees.”
One word: Lysenko.
Exactly. What the Israelis are doing is barbaric, but from my home halfway around the world, I wouldn’t lift a finger or spend a dollar to stop them. What I object to most strongly is that, through money, media control, and probably blackmail, they have the US government by the balls. They use us to fight and fund their wars for them.
All that would be bad enough if we didn’t have to also listen to endless sanctimonious lectures from American Jews, about slavery, racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, the list is endless.
Jews, just admit that you are morally no better than anybody else, and probably a good deal worse. You are not avatars of moral salvation, hovering in the air above the rest of us. What is happening in Israel is no less than a brutal genocidal land grab, funded by your underhanded control of the US government, and propagandized by the Jewish-owned media and academies.
Just admit that you are as awful as the rest of us, just more successful at it. And start paying your own way.
Trump was not elected because he is a rocket scientist. He is a carnival barker who has never read a book in his life. He never heard of the Constitution until they made him take an oath to uphold it. He was elected to create a sort of revolution and his ignorance of the established order has always been a selling point for him.
Here’s my proposal for world peace. Ukraine sends us eggs and mail-order brides, Russia sells us rare earths, we sell them Fords which are marginally better than Ladas, Ukraine which has been depopulated takes in all the world’s Jews, the Palestinians get Palestine back but we get to turn Gaza into Disneyland Mideast…and I will accomplish all this within the first 24 hours of my administration.
No mention of Jews? AI is still imperfect.
==>aided by a bankrupt liberalism that no longer stands or fights for anything
Oh I don’t know. Certainly the left does not stand and fight for anything that most reasonable people would consider desirable and good. But it has fought, and continues to fight, for drag queen story hour, for child castration, for killing an infant as it is being born, for incompetent black women having hiring preference over competent white men…the list goes on and on.
What the left does not fight for, is border security to keep floods of unskilled immigrants driving down wages, for unfettered free speech, for racial color blindness…this list is also endless.
I hope I don’t need to point out the logical fallacy in this article. Trump does this thing; the Nazis also did this thing before they did other bad things; therefore Trump is going to do those other bad things; QED, and also REEEEEEEEEE!
There’s no doubt we need to watch Donald Trump, just as we should watch anybody who is in power. And there is no doubt that Trump has little regard for or understanding of the Constitution…although, let’s be honest, the people in the federal government who do, could probably be counted on one hand. But ironically, it will probably come down to the Trump-appointed SC justices to prevent whatever form Trump’s overreach might take.
And BTW, let’s not give Trump credit for that. I feel sure Trump has no idea what the SC is really supposed to do, or why his picks were any good. He was fed those picks by the Heritage Foundation. If he had been fed picks by Jared and Ivanka, or his bookie, or Benjamin Netanyahu, or Bugs Bunny, we would be in a very different situation.
As usual in today’s world, it is just about impossible to know what to believe. The mainstream take on RFK is that he is a dangerous madman. But everything I have heard him say leads me to believe that he is a vaccine skeptic, not a vaccine opponent.
Indeed, in general he is a science skeptic, not a science denier. And since the essence of science is or should be skepticism, he is closer to having the scientific attitude than are the normies who say that, whatever the science people tell us to do, we should do without question.
My ex did research and reviewed research at NIH and the FDA for about 40 years, and she is very skeptical and cynical by temperament. When I asked her if my recent arthritis and artery blockages could have anything to do with my recent COVID shots, she said, “There’s no way to know, and we probably won’t understand the effects of those vaccines for 20 years.”
That was my attitude already. The fanatical vaccine advocates, and the people who are absolutely sure that the vaccines will kill you, are both wrong. The reality is that, as with so many things in this sad old world, we just do not know, and so each of us must decide according to his own lights, and hope for the best.
Well NO, actually. The pro-vaxx pushers have got it completely wrong, while the vaxx sceptics are much closer to the truth.
The fanatical vaccine advocates, and the people who are absolutely sure that the vaccines will kill you, are both wrong.

More importantly, ZOG have created vaxxes that, whilst they don't kill immediately, many will get turbo cancers or develop cardiac issues in the not too distant future, and will die years or decades before their time.
Summary: What I'm getting at is that, certainly by the end of the first month, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE to fool the public and prevent them from knowing that a shit ton of their next of kin/neighbours/work colleagues/acquaintances etc, were dropping dead.
And that's assuming if even 20% of the vaxx batches were lethal - let alone 100% of them.So what ZOG did was make a certain percentage of the vaxx batches lethal/likely to cause severe adverse reactions, BUT NO SO GREAT A PROPORTION OF THEM THAT THEY COULDN'T KEEP IT LARGELY UNDER WRAPS.
How can you not be aware of these things Mr Phubar? Do you rely on the corrupt ZOG owned MSM for 100% of your info on the Covid Psyop?
In addition to that we have Depopulation by Stealth.
We KNOW from biodistribution studies that spike protein accumulates in various parts of the body. And among those places the ovaries in women are a prominent one.Women that took the vaxx in the first and second trimesters were aborting as much as 80% of their foetuses according to some studies. Others has stillborn babies at birth.
There is evidence that many more have been RENDERED INFERTILE and this their gene pool will disappear with them when they die.
As with so much seemingly wise, fair thinking, total horse shit.
The reality is that, as with so many things in this sad old world, we just do not know, and so each of us must decide according to his own lights, and hope for the best.
I know a lot of lefty Democrats. None of them have any idea, even in 2025, just why DJT got elected in 2016. They still think the only reason people vote for Trump is that they are stupid. They still think they have the best ideas. They still think they are bringers of light and virtue, hovering in the air above the rest of us.
Their idea of reconciliation is, as Barry Obama said, if your crackpot uncle is a Trumper, don’t be scornful of him, just talk to him, lead him along. The idea that THEY might be wrong about anything, that THEY might need to be led along, has has still not occurred to them.
So I expect they will just double down on the DEI immigrant minority tranny communist stuff, thinking that sooner or later, we will “get it”.
I'll tell you exactly what I'm 'gonna' do. I'll go elsewhere, and patronise another merchant that offers a good product or service at a sensible price.
Inflation also occurs when greedy merchants, landlords et al decide the “free market” means they are free to increase their profit margin.
Whadda ya gonna do, refuse to eat or drive or live indoors in protest?
Mr Lack-of-Observation, your cartoonish views of Capitalism do not correspond to real world situations where unfettered Free Market Capitalism (or something near enough to it), is actually practised.
The fact of the matter is that what occurred during the Covid Psyop was brought about by GUBMINT MEDDLING. Absent the gubmint intervention and distortions (ie: paying people to stay at home or terrorising them into Socialist Distancing or hibernation in their basements - f0r fear of catching the relatively harmless Covid - this entailed that less people showed up seeking work than would otherwise be the case.
They knew that the customer had no alternative.
Those that ran the bakery had no incentive to provide a quality product or maintain hygiene, because they had a CAPTIVE AUDIENCE.
Getting back to the previous example of the bakers cartel that jacked their price up by 100% in a certain part of town, someone who isn't a baker would see that bread was artificially high in that neighbourhood, and he'd arrange for 1000 loaves to be shipped in a big truck from the other side of town where Capitalism still functioned, and charge even less.
THAT is how Free Market Capitalism works. When prices are high for a particular product or service (whether that be through price fixing of a cartel like OPEC, greedy businessman or whatever), this entices new entrants to the market.
Soon enough the market is oversupplied and the price CRASHES THROUGH THE FLOOR.
But of course, in the U.S (certainly in the big end of town), the (((oligarchs))) have colluded with Big Gubmint to prevent new entrants to the market.
THAT is how Capitalism works. FIERCE COMPETITION ensures that consumers ALWAYS get the best quality product at the best price.
Te reality is that any move by Big Gubmint to interfere with market mechanisms results in DIMINSHING THE COMMON WELFARE.
Government’s decision not to exercise its legitimate oversight power “to promote the common welfare”
Summary: Those in Gubmint, given sufficient funding through money extorted from the productive private sector, almost always pick LOSERS, and thus flush taxpayers money down a rat hole. A stand out example was FDR's disastrous New Deal, which turned what would've been a short/sharp recession into the Great Depression.
The fact of the matter is that Gubmint is full to the brim with FAILURES WHO COULD NOT CUT IT IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR - hence the reason these shysters gravitated towards Gubmint in the first place.
Let's take the example of a big business that manufactures i-Phones. Let's assume patent laws were deemed invalid and any manufacturer could copy someone else's technology and incorporate it into their design. HOW THE EFF would that end Capitalism?
THAT is how Capitalism works. You innovate, you become more efficient, or you get buried by your competition.
“Let’s assume patent laws were deemed invalid and any manufacturer could copy someone else’s technology and incorporate it into their design. HOW THE EFF would that end Capitalism?”
Easy: What is the motivation for Company A to pour billions into R & D to develop new and innovative products, if Company B can just steal their design and sell it more cheaply? And they easily could sell it more cheaply, because the cost of all that research would not be baked into Company B’s production costs. In short, creating a great and innovative product would put Company A on the road to guaranteed bankruptcy.
Communist and socialist writers make the mistake of talking about how to divide up the goods, without thinking about how the goods got there in the first place. The way the goods got there, is that highly motivated and clever individuals invented and produced them, for the sake of personal gain.
You are making a similar mistake. If you remove the motivation of profit through innovation, capitalism will consist of people trading potatoes for firewood, and so forth. There may be factories that still produce cell phones, but there will be no improvement in that or any other product.
Which might be okay until you consider that there will also be no improvement in medical devices, treatments, drugs, etc. Unfortunately, no one has ever figured out a better way to ensure that we progress, at least technically, than by guaranteeing intellectual property rights and the right to profit through innovation.
You also have to consider that, if your country, Country A, fails to reward innovation, and Country B DOES reward it, then after a while, Country B develops the means to shoot a particle beam from space through the heads of every citizen of Country A, and Country A cannot develop the means to stop it.
tl/dr: Congratulations, you have expressed the Bolshevik viewpoint very well.
.... you then came back with your asinine claim that this would be a disincentive for companies to invest billions in R & D.
Let’s assume patent laws were deemed invalid and any manufacturer could copy someone else’s technology and incorporate it into their design.
HOW THE EFF would that end Capitalism?
The reality is that RIGHT NOW, manufacturers already strip down the product being offered by their competitors, reverse engineer it and slightly modify the technology of the product in question, thus making themselves exempt of infringement of copyright
You are looking at the thing in the wrong light. Israel is not a foreign country. Israel is the capitol of this country. It is a special district, sort of like the District of Columbia. Call it DL, District of the Levant.
DC itself is now sort of like an Amazon warehouse, where orders from the DL are routed to various points in America, and money in the opposite direction.
Get it, “orders”? We send them money, they send us orders.
I love Anglin’s headlines. They remind me of that great songwriter who couldn’t get a recording contract because all his songs had names like “I Love You So Fuckin’ Much I Could Just Shit.”
We’ll know the world has changed when the NYT runs an Anglin piece with a title like “Rat Faced Kike Demons Fucking Up The Middle East, As Usual”.
From what I understand, all DJT cares about with his appointees this time around, is loyalty. Qualifications be damned. And if you look at how Washington treated him last time, and will surely treat him again, how can you blame him?
Besides, being “qualified”, in Washington, usually means having vast experience greasing the cogs of the marvelous Washington machinery that has served Washingtonians so well for so many years. It has served no other Americans, but it has served Washingtonians beautifully.
Experienced Washingtonians who “know how to Washington” are the last thing we need. In fact if someone would take a firehose to the Senate and wash away everyone but Thomas Massie and Rand Paul, and replace them with people chosen at random from cheap diners from each state, it would surely be a net gain for us all.
The new “Waffle House Senate” would be much more in touch with the lives and needs of most Americans, and it could hardly be any stupider than what we have now.
Agreed.The new Senators pulled from the ranks of random cheap-diner customers would be less likely of going along with a new war, open borders, DEI, tranny hour and all the other Washington D.C. horseshit that has been rammed down our throats.

Yes, this is Trump 101. And it’s also just business 101.
1) Have issue with competitor/rival country/ally.
2) Send letter telling him you are going to cancel all military and trade agreements, stop all aid, tariff the hell out of him.
3) Rival shits his pants, calls for immediate conference.
4) Agreements are not cancelled but are reworked on terms more favorable to you.
Trump has been pounding the drum since 2015 or before about the fact that ALL our agreements with other countries are are terms favorable to them and crappy to us. Read hack journalist Bob Woodward’s horrible dishonest hatchet job Fear, if you want an accounting of how Trump tried to do this with South Korea, and was frustrated and subverted by his own staff, to the point of them stealing letters off his desk before he could sign them. Woodward, of course, thought the saboteurs were heroes.

“Unless Russia gets out of Ukraine entirely Russia wins and we have taken a serius hit to our force projection and leadership”
I am no scholar of international affairs, but when the citizenry were all talking about how great it was that we could deal a blow to Russia through funding this “proxy war”, my first thought was: Then what, when Russia wins, as it inevitably will, and we give up on Ukraine. How stupid do we look then? It will be one more piece of evidence that being an ally of ours is no guarantee of anything. It will be one more blow to whatever little bit of prestige we have in the world.
Oh, it is. It's a guarantee of one's certain death and destruction."It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal"- Henry Kissinger

“To appease Jews, they will cancel people left and right”.
This is one thing I don’t get at all about the right. They are the strongest force for giving the country away to Israel and the Jews. I understand most politicians will eat shit and chase rabbits for campaign contributions and positive media coverage, but that doesn’t explain why the R’s are even worse slaves of the Jews than the D’s are.
Did Mossad agent Jeffrey Epstein get every one of these people on videotape diddling a ten year old boy in his NYC townhouse? That doesn’t make sense either, because the Dems are at least as inclined to twisted sex as the R’s are.
Probably a lot of R’s are religious Christians who do think of Israel as the Holy Land and Jews as the chosen people. If so, they need to understand that Jews think of them as unwashed cattle, and believe that Jesus is or should be boiling in a pit of liquid shit in a low circle of hell.
So in conclusion, I just don’t get it. If I were a single issue voter and my issue was the Jews, I would vote Democrat.
The more accurate term would be ‘woke-like right’, or the right that acts like the ‘woke left’ in service to their pet issues.
It usually applies to conzos who bitch about censorship and cancel culture but then call for censorship and canceling on behalf of Jews and Israel. In this sense, Trump and DeSantis are ‘woke-like right’. To appease Jews, they will cancel people left and right like the real ‘wokesters’ call for canceling those who aren’t sufficiently deferential to Negroes and Homos.
Now, some define the term ‘woke right’ differently. It’s usually done by Con Inc against the dissident right.
Because some in the dissident right condemn Zionist war on Gaza and believe the Right needs to incorporate certain socialist policies, they are deemed to be ‘woke’ for siding with Brown Palestinians against White Jews. Also, their pro-labor position is seen as ‘socialist’ or ‘leftist’, therefore ‘woke’.
But this is bogus. Real ‘wokeness’ is pseudo-leftism concocted by the Jewish elites to (mis)direct progressive energies toward nonsense issues like gender-politics and mindless Negro worship. ‘Wokeness’ suppressed economic issues and justified Zionism by portraying Israel as the ‘gayest nation on Earth’. ‘Wokeness’ isn’t about leftist extremism but about degenerate obsessions with frivolity, like doing fashion shows with bald-headed fatties or throwing tantrums about ‘muh pronouns’.
The pro-Palestinian movement wasn’t ‘woke’ but a genuine cry for justice over real events.
In contrast, BLM was ‘woke’ cuz it was based on mindless Negrolatry and had nothing to do with the actual world: white cops are not nazi-kkk gunning down innocent blacks in the street.
The fact that Americans cared more about one George Floyd than over 100,000 dead in Gaza goes to show how degenerate American progressivism have become and how divorced from reality.

We here in America do this again, and again, and again. Just once I’d like to see us learn from our mistakes, and think before we join the next parade, for Iran this time.

The cat would have to have some kind of psychic powers, or be guided by supernatural forces. Those are the only two options.
Actually there’s another option. Perhaps cats can navigate somewhat like homing pigeons, either by the stars, or the sun, or by sensitivity to earth’s magnetic field, or by some other method not known to us but not supernatural. It’s also possible that the cat just started walking and stopped frequently to ask for directions.
Maybe Rayne Beau hitchhiked. The sight of a cat by the roadside with a paw raised to hook a ride was so cute many drivers stopped to give him a lift.

We are pushing Russia into allying with China and others, a very foreseeable result that will cost us a lot more than any “weakening” of Russia is helping us, in the long run. We are weakening ourselves, because when Ukraine loses the war, as it inevitably will, we as their supporters will suffer yet another blow to our international prestige, or what is left of it…which was also totally foreseeable.

I taught math in a large and prestigious East Coast high school, then quit to homeschool my own kids and work as a tutor to others. The one group of people who completely supported my decision to homeschool, was my fellow teachers. Most people have no idea just how bad public schools are, even highly respected ones that are always getting favorable writeups in the WaPo. Indoctrination, kids being rushed into advanced classes without learning the basics, tests dumbed down, grades faked…
However awful you think the schools are, I promise you, they are worse than that. I think the leadership of the school system I taught in should be indicted under RICO for operating an ongoing criminal enterprise. I have been interviewed many times by WaPo “journalists” about these matters, and none of my comments were recognizable when I saw them in the paper.
I am but a humble carpenter without an Ivy League degree. But when this Ukraine shit started my first thought was, ” This is going to push Russia and China together, and when Ukraine goes down in flames, that is going to further diminish what prestige we have left.”
And look where we are now. Reminds me of the English statesman who said, “That which the wise and learned predicted has not happened, and that which all the damned fools were howling about has come to pass.”

Yes, there will always be people who loathe the Jews because they reject Christ, or because they resent Jewish wealth and success…not good reasons IMO. But there are many others who are basically people of goodwill, who are becoming sick to death of Jewish efforts to control the flow of information, and to use money and media to steer American politicians. This is considered “playing dirty” and in the end it will always bounce back on the person who attempts it.
When Piers Morgan went to technical school, he should have learned to hang drywall, or something useful. It has always been obvious that he was not all that smart or well informed, and that he would always stick to platitudes and conventional viewpoints, which is the safest course for such people. But he really outdid himself in the Bilzerian interview.
He literally had no arguments at all, except, “You are an anti-Semite” and “I can’t believe you are saying that.” Piers is obviously another role-playing NPC without any real thoughts in his head. But as long as he’s willing to give a platform to guys like Bilzerian, I hope he survives and thrives.
Given the current state of public affairs in the YooEssAyy, I have developed a sort of Occam’s Razor that I apply to any discussion of politician candidates:
1) Does this guy suck? If yes, proceed to (2)
2) Does the other guy suck worse? If so, proceed to (3)
3) Ignore all the things that suck about the first guy.
Based on that, I’m skipping this article.
Just as a sane and workable political viewpoint begins with rejecting everything you’ve ever read in the mainstream press, a healthy diet begins by questioning everything your doctor ever told you. It’s not all trash, in either case, but a lot of it is.
No difference between the candidates? Sure, they both blow the Jews and Israel. And that is most important. But I don’t want Kamala running the economy, stirring up wars, appointing Supreme Court justices, lecturing me on my white privilege, colluding with social media to suppress speech, handing out money to everyone but me, etc, etc, etc.
Trump could be a lot better, and he certainly lacks a lot of things that might be good to have. But there’s a world of difference between him and this woman who has no qualifications at all except for,apparently, giving a pretty slick blowjob.
I heard Thomas Sowell say, on a talk show, that talking about black IQ “permanentizes the problem.” In other words, it makes black dysfunction seem to be set in stone, and not subject to correction.
Of course, arguments about the effect of beliefs rather than the truth of those beliefs, should have no place in science, and that is a thing that Thomas Sowell was well aware of, in other spheres of discussion. But by saying this, he seems to admit, “If black IQ is intractably low, that would be bad, so it must not be the case”. This is very bad reasoning, and not something he is usually guilty of.
Unfortunately for us all, black intelligence, all over the world, as measured by any method ever conceived, is shockingly low. The only way that might improve is if the more intelligent blacks reproduced more than the less intelligent, but of course we are subsidizing the opposite of that.
I appreciate Anglin’s take, but I wish he would learn the difference between “jive” and “jibe”.

She’s not the only one. I taught high school math for a few years.

They got the same paycheck as the guy who put his feet up on his desk and read Sports Illustrated in class.
There was also a black teacher who openly told his kids that, hey, math sucks, but I have to try to teach you some. He wrote math rap songs for them, they all thought he was cool, and nobody learned shit. That guy got a lengthy three-part writeup in the WaPo.
That guy Bloom who wrote Closing of the American Mind made the same point. There were black kids he taught at…Rutgers?…who had no special talent or intelligence at all, but who were in the national and probably the world news simply for raising hell in campus protests

Thank you for the detailed reply.
In all human affairs, we should not ascribe to painting different parties as either fully black, or fully white, fully right or fully wrong. There are, in all human conflicts, different shades of grey, true in both World Wars no matter how much only one side has been demonized. And true, of course, in this business of Russia vs Ukraine.
Russia has been steadily provoked by the West, and by the foolish Ukrainians for the last decade who assumed that NATO would have their backs, and that is why Russia has militarily responded. Boris Yeltsin was in charge of Russia upon the break-up of the USSR, and no doubt much that could have been done better back then wasn’t. In any event, Putin and his regime were not in charge then – they’re in charge now and there lies the difference.
I care not too much how Putin personally lives, but that Russia enacts laws that are somewhat more in line with traditional moral values as opposed to the obviously decadent West.
You will agree that there could have been a peace deal less than 2 months from the beginning of this war (Istanbul) but twas scuppered by the West in the person of former British PM Boris Johnson, presumably with US state department collusion. Don’t kid me that the West has ANY concern over the fate of Ukraine or Ukrainians – this is all about trying to damage Russia.
“The standard liberal line is, to my understanding, that Blacks have a lower IQ and are crime prone because of White racists”
No, the standard liberal line is that blacks don’t exist, because race is a social construct and not a Real Thing, but also that they do exist and are oppressed by whites, who really don’t exist at all because Irishmen are different from Germans. Blacks do NOT have lower IQ’s, and they also DO have lower IQ’s because of white oppression, and if they do bad things it is partly due to this lower IQ which puts them at a terrible disadvantage, although IQ also does not exist and is a meaningless number and not important.
Ron Paul does not blame America. He blames America’s incompetent leadership, and the decision makers at the top. These are the people who brought us the Vietnam war, and the Iraq war, and much much more. They have shown many times that they are as stupid as only highly educated people can be, with plenty of corruption and undue influence thrown into the mix as well.
Watch John Mearsheimer’s lectures about the roots of this war. Or if you like, I’ll sum them up for you: we played a huge part in causing this mess. I still suggest you watch the lectures to fill in the details.
And BTW, even if none of this were true, even if Putin is Satan incarnate and Ukraine is a citadel of all virtues, what does that have to do with us and why should we risk nuclear war, or even spend one nickel, interfering in it?
How is it that the average asshole in the street has better judgement than the elite who run what’s left of this country? If any of the Harvard brats who gave us, for example, the war in Vietnam, had run that plan by a bunch of truckers eating breakfast at Waffle House, they would have been laughed out of the place.
Likewise, the idea that we would weaken our eternal enemy Russia by funding a proxy war. Back when this all started, my first thought was that there was no way Ukraine could win, and that when Ukraine went down, we, as their best buddies, would suffer another blow to what little is left of our national prestige. I also thought we should be working to make common cause with Russia, instead of driving them into the arms of the Chinese.
I am but a humble carpenter, yet what I anticipated is what has happened. Reminds me of the statement by Lord What’s-His-Name, 19th century British statesman: “That which the wise and learned predicted has not happened, and that which all the damned fools were howling about has come to pass.
I propose an amendment whereby Waffle House becomes the 4th branch of government, with veto powers over all spending, legislation and acts of war…sort of like the Tribunes of Plebs in ancient Rome.
And BTW, it’s not just about power and pragmatism. Watch Mearsheimer’s lectures if you want to understand why Russia’s cause is just.
Fighting two pointless wars with Germany had a lot to do with it. Churchill had a lot to do with the decline of England. His “hero” status is very much misplaced.

There’s a saying, among black people: “If you want to die, get a black doctor. If you just want to go to jail, get a black lawyer.”

Not talking about you? If you owned rental property, he is talking about exactly you. He does not distinguish between Blackrock, and Chuck down the street who works at the chair factory and saved for ten years to buy a rental house.
Among the many many things Ted Rall does not understand, is this: people are not homeless simply because they lack a home. They are homeless because they lack the skills, the work ethic, the sobriety, and very often the sanity, to own a home.
In my long life as a former bleeding heart, and sometime real estate investor, I have tried many times, many many times, to give people in need a helping hand. I can think of exactly one success story. I gave a guy an old beater truck of mine and he turned it into a thriving junk hauling business with a small fleet of his own trucks.
In every other case, the painful lesson has been that most people on the bottom, not all, but most, are there because they have put themselves there. Whatever combination of drugs, ignorance, laziness, and self hate dragged them down, is going to drag them back down after you lift them up.
To basically nationalize the property of people who have scrimped and saved and invested and worked, and give that property to people who are going to sell it to buy meth, is going to kill investment among the former, without helping most of the latter.
Like most ideas coming from the likes of Bernie Sanders and Ted Rall, this one sounds good to college kids when they discuss it in a walnut-panelled seminar room, but it does not stand up to 30 seconds of honest scrutiny in the harsh light of day.

I fell asleep myself. It’s like watching a progressively boring film with a plot device that is stretched out for hours. What kicked off summer of 2015 – the Trump optimism, was only cultivated nonsense designed to attach Trump to that prodded up awareness.
They boosted up the alt right with persuasive talking heads, spread the correct (although gatekeeper) sentiment, and in doing so, injected Donald Trump as the be-all, end-all candidate for just mediocre sensible policy.
The entire scripted politics is boring at this stage. You can delude yourself and pretend Trump took a rifle round to his unscathed ear. And that he is the better option presented. Or that Kamala is exactly what we need; a dignified POC to lead the nation away from the racist genital grabber. That’s where the majority of people are.
Amazingly the dissidents somehow still cling to the belief that Trump – who is obviously part of the scripted politics – that they are in someway going to afford you the better pick. And that better pick (scripted actor) just might turn the tide in someway against those actually typing up the script. And in your favor for that matter.

Trump has no more verbal discipline than the bird screeching outside your window…and he steadfastly refuses to learn anything, ever. He rose to every bait, chattered mindlessly off-topic, and he failed to do the obvious, important thing: point out over and over the prosperity and peace we had under him, and the war famine and pestilence we have now.

“Trump probably has never read Pat Buchanan or like minded writers.”
Seriously now. Do you think Trump has ever read a book, any book? I don’t think he’s even read the books he supposedly “wrote”.
Trump is a textbook case of the kid who didn’t read the book but gets up and gives his report anyway. I’ve never heard him speak without feeling he’s just winging it.
This is probably how he developed his speaking style, where he doesn’t present ideas and then develop them, he just repeats what he just said, which gives him time to come up with the next thing: “Prices are up, the highest, the highest prices ever, a lot of people are saying prices are higher than ever, I was talking to a man the other day and he told me, ‘Mr President, prices are higher than ever,’ that’s what he said, he told me that.”
No, it’s a safe bet that he hasn’t read Pat Buchanan’s books, or anyone else’s.

I don’t like to mention Isaac Newton and Candace Owens in the same breath, the two of them being about a hundred IQ points apart, and as unlike in character as it is possible to be. But Newton, although he possessed one of the greatest minds of all time, also held beliefs that I consider irrational. He believed in the absolute truth of the Bible, and he thought he could work out the details of the Apocalypse if he could only gain a deep enough understanding of the scriptures.
In fact he seems to have considered this, and alchemy, the main work of his life, and his revolutionary scientific and mathematical work less important.
We all know people in our lives who are very intelligent, rational, and perceptive about some things, and wildly irrational about others. Isaac Newton was an extreme case of this. There is nothing high-IQ about Candace Owens, but she is another example.
Even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then. The Jews are Candace Owens’ acorn, and much of the rest of what she does is just rooting around in the garbage. And yes, Ron Unz may be right: The only reason she has not been denied a platform, is that the 90% of her work that is trash, tends to discredit the bit that is true.
Where does this "irrationality" come from? Well, first you have to know that Newton was an Aspie genius. This type of brain permits you to do some brilliant work, given the capacity to hyperfocus for years at a time on your "special interest". On the other hand, having Asperger's also "forces" you to do some weird kind of shit -- it comes with the territory.
Newton, although he possessed one of the greatest minds of all time, also held beliefs that I consider irrational.
So you have to consider both the good side and the weird side to understand Newton -- and all Aspie geniuses and maybe even all of "modernity" in general, since I am convinced our worldview today was hugely influenced by Aspie geniuses (Darwin, Einstein, Freud, Jung, Huxley, Orwell, and so many others). Godel, also an Aspie... [continues...]
I have known adolescents who have Asperger’s syndrome and a tic disorder make comments such as ‘irrational thoughts pop up into my brain’. ... Sometimes the thought can be to do something inappropriate and potentially embarrassing
The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome, Tony Attwood
So with Aspies you gotta take the good with the weird. This was also evident in another Aspie genius, Bobby Fischer, who is known as the greatest "pattern recognizer" ever. When Fischer the Aspie changed his chess obsession to Jew obsession, he also noticed a lot of patterns:
It is possible that Newton’s autistic imagination was one of the factors that helped him discover the laws of gravity.
Many commentators have remarked on the religious dimension of Wittgenstein’s work. A religious disposition is a recurring feature in people of genius with HFA/ASP -— Newton, Ramanujan, Lewis Carroll, among others. Autism and Creativity, Michael Fitzgerald
I'm not saying Candace is an Aspie genius -- she certainly is no genius and I have no idea if she's an Aspie. But maybe she's got this obsessional Aspie-like streak, which could be very positive if she just stopped talking so much about the "Frankists" and started concentrating on simply naming The Jew.
My main interest right now is to expose the Jews. This is a lot bigger than me. They're not just persecuting me. This is not just my struggle, I'm not just doing this for myself... This is life and death for the world. These God-damn Jews have to be stopped. They're a menace to the whole world.
Good article, but…
“as a young woman who majored in journalism at a very mediocre college and failed to graduate, she may be an overly credulous individual, lacking the knowledge or analytical skills to properly assess evidence”
…I hope you don’t mean to imply that students who major in journalism at “elite” universities and do graduate, are less credulous and DO possess the knowledge and analytical skills to properly assess evidence.
They don’t. Or rather, what both they and Candace Owens both lack is some concept that in journalism the truth should reign supreme, above one’s career ambitions and one’s personal beliefs. Journalism has strayed so far from any such beliefs that I involuntarily both cringed and laughed as I wrote the above.
Good comment, except for two things.
First, I doubt any Americans think we’re going to “win” in Ukraine. They’ve been told that it’s not about winning, that the Ukrainians are fighting a proxy war for us that will bleed the Russians of men and materials, and all we have to do is give them money and weapons. They’ve been told that this is “good” because Russia is our enemy in a way that a cat is the enemy of a mouse: there’s no need to think about it, it’s a built in feature of the cosmos. If Russia suffers, we gain, because it’s a zero-sum game.
What Americans don’t think about, because no one told them to think that, is that Ukrainian defeat was inevitable from the beginning, and that since we are seen as their ally, that will be one more blow to our prestige, and one more warning to other nations: this is what happens to America’s allies, so don’t be one.
Also, it’s biscuits with mustard, not taters with mustard.
Thought the comment about citizens of totalitarian countries being better informed than us, because they don’t expect any truth from the media and are less inclined to swallow it whole, was very perceptive.
she acted out of desperation to counteract what she called “anti-Black systemic racism”
Yes, the racism of having to take the same test as everyone else. Being judged not by the color of your skin but by the content of your intellect. That is the new racism.
“We see further into the future.”
For one thing, “farther” might have been a better choice, although it’s debatable.
For another…nothing could be farther from the truth.
I completely agree. I have plenty of bread, and the circus is coming to town next week, so what’s the problem?
How many in the propagandized USA are even aware that this was the issue motivating people enough to organize protests? The subsequent, choreographed infestation, hijacking, caricature, and demonization of this movement, like that of Occupy Wall Street, would make a good case study of the Establishment’s fundamental strategy of Distract, Divide & Conquer.
[T]he national debt has not been a central issue in DC since the days of the Tea Party movement.
Confederate bathrooms are actually an excellent idea. Damned if I want my family using the same bathroom as a Yankee.
THE DISSATISFACTIONS OF CAROLINE
Chapter One
Hamilton Brewster III ate his breakfast, pored over his newspaper, and thought about all the little people he was going to kick out of the way once he put the finishing touches on his syndication agreement with Sir Roderick Smythe. Jacob Goldstein had assured him that the contract was sound. All that remained was for him to sign it.
Brewster looked up to see Caroline enter the dining room. “Good morning, papa,” she said. “Erm, g’morning,” he replied, bits of scrambled egg still in his mouth. Swallowing the last of the egg, he said, “Caroline, my pet, I trust that I shall hear from you the very good news that you have decided to accept Reginald Smythe’s marriage proposal.”
“I’m still thinking about it, papa.”
“What is there to think about? Reginald is young, goodlooking and intelligent. Most importantly, he is rich.”
“Yes, papa, but I’m not sure I’m ready to get married. I just received a letter from the music conservatory in Salzburg. They have admitted me to their diploma program.”
“Diploma program? Diploma in what?”
“Harpsichord.”
“And what do you propose to do with a diploma in harpsichord?”
“Become a professional musician.”
“You propose to make a career playing that ghastly instrument? Nonsense! You’ll marry Reginald or I’ll cut off your allowance.”
“Oh, papa!”
Brewster stamped on the rug. A bell rang faintly in the distance and three servants rushed into the room led by Mortimer, the butler. “Sir?”
“I want the harpsichord in the drawing room taken outside and chopped into pieces.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Oh, papa! How could you!” Caroline expostulated.
“Now go to your room,” Brewster commanded. “You will stay there and be quiet! I will call Sir Roderick and have him send Reginald over. When Reginald arrives, you will accept his marriage proposal or else!”
Tears streaming down her face, Caroline rushed out of the room.

Chew on that fact for a bit, if you will.
Sorry, I took a break to make some egg salad and now I just can’t get the groove back.
What’s amazing: Even though Drumpf panders to subhumans, and slobs on Jewish cock and kisses Jewish ass, and is a carnival barker at heart, and never read a book in his life, and doesn’t know what the Constitution is, and lives in a gold-plated penthouse, and cheated on his third wife with an ugly porn girl while that wife was pregnant with his fifth kid, and has the attention span of a fly, and can’t construct a coherent paragraph, and has no self discipline, and always talks like the kid who has to give a book report but didn’t read the book, and surrounds himself with people who destroy anything good he does try to accomplish, and never learns anything from his mistakes…in spite of all that, he is still the best candidate. Chew on that fact for a bit, if you will.
