Suborning Insanity
Americans are suborning the insanity of Joe Biden, Extreme Hakeem and the American left.
Prosperity can support innovation, but it can also suborn insanity.
Innovation requires “out of the box” thinking, but that sort of thinking has a directed purpose – it revolves around the achievement of a sustainable goal, else it isn’t innovation. True innovation earns benefits that are self-sustaining.
Insanity embodies a form of “out of bounds” thinking that doesn’t so much as challenge reality, rather it seeks to replace reality with something else. Those goals require some other entity or entities, like academia, government, or society, to subsidize it for it to survive.
It would logically follow that anyone maintaining a “reality” that must be protected or paid for by someone else is living in a fantasy world that will extend no further than the support lasts. The minute someone flips the switch on subsidization, that false reality goes dark.
For example, this morning I remarked about seeing how Biden's Intel stormtroopers have embarrassed themselves by circulating DEI guidelines that push pronouns, transgenderism and cross-dressing and how the world has stopped laughing and is wondering what the hell happened to American sanity, strength, and power.
There are two different Americas, one rational and sane, the other completely batshit insane and barking mad.
But when you think about the state of unreality of the entire transgenderism/identitarian fad, if it were not supported by ideologically “progressive” academicians, opportunistic Democrats who are always looking for a stick to poke in the eyes of their opponents (and in the eye of God), and a Deep State that owes its current existence and future expansion to leftism in American social and political circles, the transgenderism/identitarian fad would simply dry up and fade away.
I also posted a tweet from Extreme Hakeem Jeffries, another congressman and law school graduate whom I cannot see getting through law school without Affirmative Action, in which Extreme wrote the House had “passed legislation to fund the government, meet the needs of everyday Americans and avoid a shutdown.”
OK.
Government has a role, but it is NOT to “meet the need of everyday Americans”.
But then you need to look at the veritable rogue’s gallery of people Extreme’s party see as “everyday”. That group includes criminals, the mentally ill, child predators, sociopaths and psychopaths, illegal aliens (who have more 2A rights than a citizen, sex workers, people on Epstein’s list, LGBTQ people, men who believe they are women and women who believe they are men, men who want to compete with women and children, “Furries” who identify as animals, ecosexuals who marry trees, climate alarmists, the left wing press, Deep Staters, politicians and nepo babies (like Hunter Biden) who routinely break laws and wind up with family foundations and lucrative gigs on MSNBC and CNN, and most circus sideshow freaks.
I did a little social experiment of my own last week – I DVR’ed the evening news from NBC, CBS and ABC and watched them end to end. Each one of them followed almost the same script, reporting on the same things, and using the same language and perspectives.
I realized then that this wasn’t “news” in the textbook definition of the word, rather it was a broadcast of talking points for other members of the Democrat cabal – other press, operatives, activists, pundits and Twitidiots.
These are the “everyday people” Democrats see when they look across the fruited plain.
What do all these categories of people have in common?
They depend on someone else’s patience, tolerance, attention, and money to exist – and because they are necessary for Democrats to succeed, they get elevated beyond their importance, they receive preferential treatment, and they get rewarded.
This process is like spreading cow manure on a field. When you fertilize anything, it grows and our attention, our agitation and our dollars are fertilizer to them.
They don’t deserve our time or reaction.
We should approach them the way Howard Roark did Ellsworth Toohey in The Fountainhead.
We just don’t think of them.
"I did a little social experiment of my own last week – I DVR’ed the evening news from NBC, CBS and ABC and watched them end to end. Each one of them followed almost the same script, reporting on the same things, and using the same language and perspectives."
This has been going on since the late 1970s, but in those days you had to get up and walk over to the TV to change the channel. I did that one evening back when the nightly news was still only a half-hour show. In those days one network was a half hour earlier than the other two. After watching the news on the earlier broadcast I couldn't help but notice that I was watching a story about a plane crash, complete with the very same video footage, that I saw in the earlier broadcast. So I began switching back and forth between the two later shows to confirm, yes all networks were showing the same three major stories, though not all in the same order.
I thought, in a country of nearly 300 million this is it for important national news stories? Networks and newspapers had the power in those days. They owned the channels of communication. Networks owned the air waves, and newspapers bought ink by the barrel. The only way the average citizen could be heard was when the local paper would print a letter to the editor.
Fortunately, there are alternatives now. The internet provides a channel that can potentially reach the entire world to anybody that wants one. Newspapers and TV networks aren't the money makers they once were. They lose money. Wasn't Newsweek magazine, the organization, recently purchased for a dollar? They lose money because they are not in the news business anymore. They're advocates.
All of the above, but especially THIS:
“ They depend on someone else’s patience, tolerance, attention, and money to exist – and because they are necessary for Democrats to succeed, they get elevated beyond their importance, they receive preferential treatment, and they get rewarded.
….our attention, our agitation and our dollars are fertilizer to them.

No one has said it better.
