My kind of elitist does not grade on a curve and is willing to flunk the whole class. I'm looking for honest minds, not "open minds". No peace with communists.

You had to work 5x as many hours in 1984 to afford the same size fridge today. And you'll notice that, unlike health care or higher education or housing or other stuff that has gotten more expensive, fridges aren't subsidized by the government.
My latest @CatoInstitute blog post is up, and this is a favorite topic of mine. It's the return of #FridgeTwitter! Fridges today are bigger, more affordable to buy, more efficient to operate, and haven't lost much in longevity. cato.org/blog/fridge-bigger-…

Alejandro Mayorkas, to quote my friend @Koestghost, should be adjudicated under federal death penalty statutes. In fact, I'd make him the FIRST example.
2021. Mayorkas is asked if the Afghans who were flown to America during the botched withdrawal were vetted. Mayorkas claims repeatedly for almost three minutes that all the Afghans were vetted before being brought to America. At the 2:45 mark he is reminded that he is under oath and he then goes from claiming that they were all vetted to saying that he has no idea if any were vetted.

Which is crazy to me, because EVERY OTHER DAY some Communist shithead goes full presentism and talks about going back in time to murk Hitler. Wait no longer, my friend. Vladimir Lenin should have been wiped out the second he stepped off that train at Saint Petersburg.
Replying to @IsaiahLCarter
One would wait an entire lifetime in vain to hear anyone over there suggest that someone should have shot Lenin at the instant that he stepped off that train at St. Petersburg.

🇨🇳This is Jinan, a second-tier city in China, with 9.5 million residents. It's only 25th in terms of most populated Chinese cities, yet its more modern than any city in the West. Proof that socialism works.

All he's describing is the plain failure of the West to ruthlessly check its enemies' premises.

The essence of Tim's analysis pre-dates the "Woke" metaphor by decades, and it's a lot better work in not many words. The metaphor is a stipulation to leftist method that's worse than unnecessary. Speak plain English. That's what it's for.
Tim Fool says exactly what I've been saying for a year, but I'm still wrong somehow for saying it.

I will never equate natural rights and the Constitution. I'm going to have to cook up a meme about the Commerce Clause.

I am once again back to bitch about how horrific TSA and American air travel is. After I turned down facial recognition, the TSA agent couldn’t “verify” my REAL ID (that I waited 3 hours at the DMV to get) because his computer was glitching and wouldn’t recognize it. It has a photo of my face on it and the BIG ASS GOVERNMENT APPROVED STAR ON THE CORNER but that’s still not enough. The TSA agent made me remove my glasses to see if the picture matched my face, ran my ID through the scanner 3 times and when I finally asked why he couldn’t just use his eyes and see that my face matched the ID he responded with “why can’t you just get your face scanned” I despise that Americans being treated like terrorists is the norm to travel BETWEEN STATES IN OUR OWN COUNTRY. Also why is the government forcing Americans to get RealID when it doesn’t even work and blue states are handing them out to illegals anyway? We live in a full on surveillance state, aided by brain dead TSA agents who can’t think without their computers doing it for them.

You should probably think about this.
If they *can't* do that, then: of what quality is the thinking (concepts)?
