Exploring what can happen when people think for themselves.
I agree with the ACLU – this is troubling. It’s also reminiscent of the tactics used in 3rd world countries to bring the press under control:
ACLU warns of ‘precedent’ set by DOJ raid of Project Veritas: ‘Serious consequences’
I learned as a child that America was a Republic. I guess now we’re a “Banana Republic”…
You’ve got to love when MSNBC has a meltdown:
Overall the post is incredibly racist (it’s MSNBC – who knew? 🙂 ). Here are some of the more interesting quotes from the article:
“… intellectually lazy people — many of them white …”
“… along with the backing of some white voters …”
“… last week, his campaign released an ad featuring a white mother …”
“… his campaign settled on a game plan that seemed to resonate deeply with white voters …”
“… discovered that this contingent of angry, willfully ignorant white people …”
And politicians doubly so:
Wait, wait… I’ve got an idea! Let’s print a whole bunch of these coins and let everyone in the U.S. retire! We can just keep buying our stuff from China for cheap and live like kings! it’s not like we produce anything anymore, anyway…
165 lucky homeless people in Seattle will be able to live in a nice high-rise apartment building paid for with taxpayer money. I wonder who will get to pick which homeless people calling Seattle home get to live there?
From homeless tents to penthouses with views
But the real question is: What about Seattle’s other 11,835 homeless people (and the many more who will migrate there for the free housing)? Let’s do the math that the public schools won’t teach our children for fear they’ll figure out that this can’t possibly work:
$50,000,000 to house 165 people
= $303,030 per homeless person
12,000 homeless people in Seattle x $303,030 per homeless person
= $ 3,636,360,000 (That’s 3.6 BILLION dollars!)
$3,636,360,000 divided by Seattle’s population of 737,015
= about $5,000 per resident (man, woman and child)
And if only the “rich” 1% pay:
$3,636,360,000 divided by 1% of Seattle’s population, or 7,370
= about $500,000 per “rich” person
Yeah… seems like a good deal to me.
This is dumb on so many levels:
San Francisco will pay would-be criminals to not shoot people
OK, so here’s how stupid this is: Do you really think that the criminals expect to be caught for shooting people? And if they don’t expect to be caught for shooting people, then why not take your money, too? I mean, really – if they get caught for shooting someone, do you think their first thought will be “Damn – now I have to give back that $300…”?
Here’s what one person was quoted as saying in response to this new program:
“For many young people, it will be Christmas in … October,” he said, saying those involved will “make it a lucrative hustle, and we will not reduce crime.”
Duh; it just teaches them a new extortion hustle. Who’d have thought?
Just what did you think would happen? We’d all somehow be made better off by “free” government money? When are you idiots going to realize that nothing is “free” and that “government money” is an oxymoron?
Meet Skimpflation: A Reason Inflation Is Worse Than The Government Says It Is
I guess that liberal education was good for something after all: creating mindless socialists drones, incapable of questioning the government or its propaganda and too stupid to know why they should. But now, people, it’s time to face the ugly truth using that “racist” math you were never taught (probably so that you couldn’t see the false logic of the socialist liberal argument). And here it is:
When people do not produce but are paid anyway, the availability of goods goes down while the money supply remains the same or increases. There is only one possible outcome when the same number of people are vying for a reduced quantity of goods with the same amount of money: inflation.
I know, I know; the government said we’d all be better off. Well, aren’t we? Isn’t this what you wanted your socialist agenda to bring about: equality for all? Aren’t we all equal now as we each scavenge for hard goods, toilet paper and food? Oh, wait; you wanted us all to be brought up to the same level, not down? Sorry, son – you can’t do that with free money. Why? Well, if everyone is paid not to work, who will work to produce the goods you so desperately want/need?
Welcome to socialism. Enjoy your stay. F**king idiots.

Fed up with large companies controlling an industry? Compete! That’s what America and Capitalism is all about. You are limited only by yourself (rather than the government):
Ranchers launch effort to build own meat plants to fight against low beef prices
These ranchers saw that a few large slaughterhouses were controlling prices, pushing down cattle values while reaping large profits in the processing and distribution end of the market. The ranchers used capitalism to fight back: they banded together to form their own processing and distribution company.
Welcome to America.
Finally, an honest story regarding the impact of laws that ignore human nature. The title says it all:
They didn’t pay rent and stole the fridge. Pandemic spawns nightmare tenants
It’s really an interesting read. Don’t miss it.
The reason why election officials are so willing to ignore the law when it benefits them or their chosen party is because their is no penalty when they do. When someone sues over a failure to enforce the rules (spending money as a result), the offending election official(s) are forced to comply with state law but not one of them is presented with a legal bill for their hubris. Maybe we need to hold our elected or appointed officials liable for the cost of these lawsuits?

Our election officials are supposed to uphold the law, not ignore at their whim.
