When they find some lone wolf breaking the rules, sure they'll punish him. But when they act collectively, there is rarely a correction or (ha ha) compunction. The Russiagate hoax (ie, "Trump is a Russian agent") should have

The advice is always the same for these situations: "Pull yourself together." It sounds so mean, but nothing else will work.

This is the correct answer. When you drop off the bottom 30 percent of the population via the AFQT requirement (the part of the ASVAB that correlates well with IQ) you are getting rid of 100,000,000 nitwits. Further to those, you also get

Some worthless EU parasite is not "Europe". Is there some reason why every country stuck in that childish dystopia doesn't have its own Brexit?

My favorite is when you fight and fight and fight, looking for something and then you finally manage to narrow the results down to what you wanted, and it says (right above the correct result): "It looks like there aren't many g

It is possible to have completely above-the-board, fair elections and wind up with a set of politicians who work expressly against the interests of the people. I hope you don't consider that a point in dispute.

Just to be clear, the establishment had to get rid of Agnew before getting rid of Nixon, so they dug up an old scandal to do so. They then installed one of their own, Ford. It's possible that Agnew never would have gotten the VP job

Nah, such services already exist. You just have some extremely loutish, heavy-hitting-seeming dude "move in" with the squatter with a legit lease. The mission is to be so foul and unpleasant that the original squatter leaves. In

I like how lobotomies ended, not because the professionals decided to quit being barbaric, but because Thorazine got you the same results on a subscription basis.

It's a pretty rare company that wants unions. If you are running a business, you don't want to be forced into paying above-market wages, or to have disciplinary measures blocked for certain classes of employees [1], or to effecti

Yet there are still Nazis ...in brigade-level strength, that liberals have been rooting for for almost two years now. Shrug. Don't waste time explaining this to them.

I'm very surprised that areas with a disproportion of the demographics who die young have a low life expectancy. See page 13 to see a better breakdown: https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/docs/collab/lifeExpectStudy2022

It reveals a white middle-class population not only dislodging a poor and diverse one but defining them out of the picture. Yet few seemed aware that they were doing anything wrong. White people should stay to their ghettos, I suppose. A

Am I the only one who just stops reading any comment if it contains the word "boomers"? It's entered a tidy lexicon with "lol" and "This." and [any smiley].

Funny how people just get a rough impression of things and then "go with it". Her view of Sanders' 2020 bid was that people like herself were a big part of it--even 80 year old Nepalese grandmas were Sanders boosters, after a

No, it isn't. Most people pay about that much for their cable. For the bottom 20 percent, yes, it is a budget-buster. However, that is beside the point. Believe me, I hate explaining simple, simple things--but the person I was respo

Racism is inferring personality (and other) traits based upon genetics, not "where someone was born." I would argue that your genetics, unlike your star sign, is fairly meaningful.
