The kooks are those who believe that the people voted for the party in power destroying their lives. -
Reblogged:How to 'Reduce the Heat'
Jon Letendre replied to Gus Van Horn blog's topic in The Objectivism Meta-Blog Discussion
Is this the seventeen thousand four hundred eighty seventh attempt to finally, totally, once-and-for-all, get that bad Trump, or am I forgetting one? But this time will be different! This time they’ve really got him! This time it isn’t about lies they made up! This time he messed up real bad! Such excellent entertainment. -
An Old but New Attack on Ayn Rand

And ... "It is pretty hard hitting and many of my friends are asking me about it." What specific questions are friends asking that you could use help answering? -
An Old but New Attack on Ayn Rand

The best refutation is to say it is simply a hateful hit piece. Refutation is for people of reason and good will, not for scribbles on bathroom walls or the equivalent. Don't be goaded into dead-end discussions framed by the enemy. -
The US and indeed the whole world is in great danger because Biden and his son have their hands in so much corruption, especially in Ukraine. He has sent them US weaponry that they then hawk all over the world to raise cash. Zelensky has the goods on the Biden Crime Family and he seems able to force Biden to do just about anything he demands. What won't Pedo Peter do to avoid facing the consequences of his family's crimes? None of us are safe. Hopefully Putin can wipe Zelensky off the face of earth soon, eliminating one of Biden's puppet masters. NPR notices that the Biden regime has been evading decades of corruption in Ukraine and they seem to think it matters: Corruption concerns involving Ukraine are revived as the war with Russia drags on : NPR

If only we had a word for that. If only we had a concept for when the executive makes up new law for purposes of thwarting judicial branch rulings and undermining state law. If only we had a concept for when hospitals' continuities are explicitly threatened if they don't succeed in pressuring staff MDs who may not wish to comply with the "new law."

Shameful Display of Anarchy and Violence

Take heart — that's not how people behave when they know they have the facts on their side. -

Hi Gus, Great post. On Disney, I don't see what's wrong with reversing crony-statist benefits that were previously illegitimately granted to them. Disney in effect had its own government in central Florida and enjoyed immunities and sovereignties they should never have had. I do appreciate the appearance of gov't punishment for speech, taking it all away from them, as he did, soon after they opened their ugly mouths to promote grooming, but I don't think timing considerations affect the rightfulness of reversing the horrors of crony-statism.

And we haven't even addressed the viral labs there and regular mysterious releases the Russians got tired of. How long would Americans tolerate Russian viral research labs on our border with Mexico? How long would we tolerate being murdered by Nazi brigades stationed in Mexico, introduced by Russia? How long would we tolerate plans to make Mexico a full-blown Warsaw Pact (analogous) country, loaded up with weapons aimed at us and our cities? Don't forget the Mexican coup against its democratically elected government in 2014, plus shelling Americans, killing us in the many thousands. Year after year after year. We would fix all of that immediately and have every right to do so. And the guilt for every Mexican death would be on Russia and the Mexican leaders who got their country in bed with Russia against us.

Putin had every right to go into Ukraine as we had every right to go into Cuba once they allowed their island to become a pitching mound for lobbing nukes at Americans. Not one of you Ukraine-is-a-virgin brainwash victims in willing to engage in good faith with the facts about what the Ukrainian government did to the Donbass after the coup in 2014. That means you are merely going through the motions of a discussion. See, we engage with everything you present to us while you evade everything we say that CNN isn't also saying. Literal evasion — you refuse to look at it.

That's why you and so many more here can't really be engaged with on this current event. You are uninformed and you think we get the information "not worth your time" from television or random web sites. You refuse to listen, you steadfastly practice massive evasions. You engage in juvenile, frankly flippant put-downs, instead of the information. You are proud of it.

She accepted the job I mentioned. And she also worked on Zelensky's campaign in 2019. Biden tapped a person who wants Zelensky in power, who is or was employed by Zelensky, to lord over you and everyone else. But never mind. It is not worth your time. But you'll keep pontificating about it all, without whole swathes of this kind of info. — that kind of "piddling around," namely, in the self-chosen dark, is apparently worth "your time."
