Thanks for posting, especially the specific time codes for the heart of the matter.👍
I completely agree with what she says and I hope you prosper in your gulch.

Agreed, Wall St and D.C. need a new con to use to steal wealth from others now that the global warming/climate change con is winding down and they aren't yet in control of bitcoin.

Call it the buzzard roost.
Maybe even the parasite perch.

" And yet the collectivists seldom, if ever, take account of their failures.". So true. Their take is always that the system can work if it's just done correctly. The only reason it failed the last time is because someone else did it wrong.

Indeed.

But don't a lot of them live in gated communities, where they're insulated from the policies they force up the rest of our butts?

"...mentally unfit to stand trial". Knowing that our country was being run by God knows how many lackeys--and to consider the media's contribution to this fiasco--is absolutely infuriating.

After he sweared to tell the Schiff and nothing but a load of Schiff.

... From the witness stand...

Which seems like how they read 1984... As an instruction guide!

OMG... Thank you Carl.

As others have recently commented, I similarly believe that Ayn Rand was prophetic ... and yet, it's really just a matter of applied mathematics. On reading Atlas Shrugged, for the first time, at age 26 and having worked a few years as a software engineer ... I put the book down and said softly "Of Course."
It's just a matter of chained logic, not too complicated.
The book had to progress and reach the conclusion as written.
This required that Rand build the story as one would build a skyscraper -- an integrated system of elements designed to be logical, functional and beautiful.

It's a philosophical and by extension, boots-on-the-ground battle between Individualism and Collectivism. Individuals working in context of their own self-interest, praxeology (human action) operating with the understanding that one is not to initiate the use of force, otherwise understood as exercising The Right to Be Left Alone -- to that extent, optimized human flourishing occurs when Individuals (all individuals, but in particular, the most intelligent-ambitious-visionary) rise to the apex of their exercised talents. The collectivists look upon this flourishing with envy; their actions are to tear it down either through theft (taxation) or destruction (regulation). They appeal to the underlying envy of the lower-classes, promising Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (all of which are unearned).

New Yorkers voted for this (or did they? Was Biden elected or installed? And Mamdani?) -- it will be interesting to see this play out. And yet the collectivists seldom, if ever, take account of their failures. My remorse at this situation is directed at those citizens that did not vote for this, but will have their apple carts turned over in the mayhem that will precipitate from this toxic mixture of narcissism, solipsism, fraud and open faced theft.

Great start for the weekend. I too thought the Black Olives was masterful.

Black Olives Matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Birds of a feather...

You just caused me to imagine Ice Cream Cone Joe as dripping and melting himself as he staggers about wondering which way he is supposed to go.

Loved the presidential library, too. Now if they could design it dripping and melting, it would even be better.

Communists must love the smell of human poop while watching where they walk on a nice clear day outside.

Still traveling, but this drive by take-a-look was a great start for my day! All great, but #1 is real, LOL!!!

Me dino really enjoyed this batch! Laughed at the look on the dog's face in front of the Christmas tree that "fainted." I forgot how many times I saw a stupid looking photo of our last Puppet-In-Chief holding some oversized ice cream cone until I saw his presidential library plan. Someone tell me that's true! Please!
When I read "declared mentally unfit to stand trial," me dino said out loud, "You got that damn right!" He would need to be shown which way to leave the witness stand!

the presidential library for Biden was spot on !

Great! Thank you, OUC!
