I can’t say it better than this!

Matt Taibbi: “So let me pause to say something about America’s current intellectual class from which the anti-disinformation complex works. By the way, there are no working class censors. The dirty secret of content moderation all over the world is that it’s a tiny sliver of educated rich correcting everybody else. It’s telling people what fork to use, but you can get a degree in it, basically. The problem is America has the most useless aristocrats in history. Even the French dandies who were marched to the razor by the Jacobins were towering specimens of humanity compared to the Michael Hadens, John Brennan’s, James Clapper’s, Mike McFall’s, and Rick Stengel’s who make up America’s self-appointed speech police. In pre-revolutionary France, even the most drunken, depraved, debauched libertine had to be prepared to back up an insolent act with a sword fight to the death. Our aristocrats pee themselves at a mean tweet. These people have no honor, no belief, no poetry, no art, no humor, no patriotism, which is unique to them, no loyalty, no dreams, and no accomplishments. They are simultaneously illiterate and pretentious, which is very hard to pull off. They may have one idea, and it’s not even an idea, but a sensation. Fear. Rightly so, because they snitch each other out at the drop of a hat. They’re afraid of each other. But they’re also terrified of everyone outside their social set, and they live in near constant dread of being caught with even one original opinion.”
And, they could care less about us and America. To whit- The lack of support to the Americans taken prisoner by Hamas, the anemic support into the Blue Ridge area after the storm (funny how Musk was able to get them Starlink), but ;gov can’t move water, etc), the current port strike, and now the Americans in Lebanon being told to ‘pay their own way’ out of the country…
Grrrr…
Beautifully put.
Yep.
Hey Old NFO;
Our “betters” all they crave and care about is themselves, totally base emotions. Higher thoughts and beliefs don’t even factor into it. When they mention platitudes about “climate change” or some other latest buzzword of the modern elitist, it cloaks the base emotion of pure power and lust, the desire to control it all and lord over others. The pure evil they have is scary and soo many people have bought into the snake oil these people are peddling. Our “elitist” and academia, and “professional” class are full of vapid, insipid, spineless jellyfish that will totally cave if the first hint of adversity was to appear. I fear for our country because this is supposed to be the “best and brightest?
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
The people running our government (The so-called elite) are spineless and the rest of the world knows it. Just as Rome became spineless right before its fall by paying the invading hordes the leadership in Washington DC are allowing the invasion of the USA and giving them cash, phones and whatever they want. Then the hurricane hit and there is no money to help the hard working true Americans that were devastated by the storm. The President when asked about aid to the victims said no money left since it went to Ukraine and illegal border raiders.
An object lesson is obvious. Any citizen living in the storm affected areas should look at their government’s response to their plight, compare it to the airlifts of illegal aliens to our country, the enormous amount of money wasted on the illegals allowed (rather more accurately, enticed) into our country. Then the billions sent to a corrupt Ukraine.
Following that look, they should all vote against the corrupt buffoons that have encouraged and allowed all this to happen.
Finally, any citizen elsewhere in the US viewing the above display of incompetence and corruption should and must also vote against the corrupticrats that have enabled and encouraged this travesty.
A small bone to pick “They could NOT care less about us.”
The day of the “razor” is passed, the day of the rope is coming. It’s economical and green for a sustainable environMINT. Remember folks, we’re going to be called upon to do the “right” thing, regardless of how disagreeable it is.
If they let Trump get elected, it’s to initiate chaos and controlled anarchy, for the “Great Reset” so that we “own nothing and like it”. Plus they get rid of tons of “useless eaters” that don’t see things(((Their))) way.
If Cumalluh wins, they’ll keep kicking the can down the road to extract every ounce of wealth and health from the lower classes as possible and, of course, strengthen their defenses.
Keep yer head on a swivel, er, stay frosty, um…you know, the thing…
Tree Mike, you beat me to it. I don’t think it’s possible for them to care less.

Yep. The “elites” in power really do hate the rest of us. And they are too stupid to understand that without us lowly peons they would be incapable of surviving long.
All- Good points, and Roger, don’t forget the >$300M that FEMA ‘reallocated’ to pay for illegals, which means they can’t support the Helene
ANd now FEMA and CO, are confiscating donations and shipping them out to the illegals. So far they haven’t hit the churches but I expect them to do that next. I hope when they try to hit the Cajun Navy they get “Donations? We don’ need no stinkin’ donations.”
FEMA are now in the same category as Revenuuers. Enemies of the people.
Do the idiots in DC have the faintest clue what will happen when people quit complying? That fire clown from MI should have been locked up by the local cops when he stopped the guy with the helicopter from making more rescues.
Rick- The fire capt from MI was on the pilot’s side! It was a local fire idjit that wanted to arrest him! Sigh…
Carlton- Yep!
The Democrats all the way up the totem pole are basically saying
f*ck those red pilled hillbillies.”
And the MSM isn’t saying a damned thing because
1- They’re not bmajority Democrat voting blacks
2- There’s a Democrat in the WH.
Oh, yeah and 3- Darth Chenyey doesn’t have his hurricane steering weather machine any more………….since he and daughter went over to the dark(er) side.
