The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (No. 17)
July 17, 2021
THE GOOD
Real life SUPER HERO to the rescue. I would not wanna mess with this young man. No way. He’s clearly a tough guy. We could use a few more like him. “Hero brother who saved sister in dog attack says he’s ‘proud’ of his scar.”
Totally awesome! It’s an immigrant’s All-American story, and it’s a story about a boy genius: “The story behind the 10-year-old homeless refugee turned NY chess champion: Tanitoluwa ‘Tani’ Adewumi was living in a New York City homeless shelter and learned how to play his first game of chess in public school.”
We could all use a little more of this: “Kansas middle school students sing impromptu national anthem to veteran.”
More of this, please, before they kill science with Critical Race Theory: “Study: Compound in fruit, herbs may prevent, reverse Parkinson's brain damage.”
THE BAD
And so it begins. Obey, peasant, obey! “New York City to require vaccination for indoor activities, restaurants, gyms.”
America Suicide Watch: Is America going bankrupt? This is bad, really bad: “Will China bail out Biden?” The Chinese government is betting “yes.”
I’m not a religious man but this is DISGRACEFUL. You’ll note that the people burning down churches in Canada fit a certain social profile and it’s not who you would think . . . “Justin Trudeau Calls Torching of Canadian Coptic Church 'Unacceptable' But 'Understandable'.”
When your government steals your money: “FBI Seized $900,000 From Safe Deposit Box on 'Pure Conjecture,' Federal Judge Says.”
A free society should reconsider every now and then whether its institutions are serving the free society: “Disband the FBI.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) continues its downward spiral into terminal corruption. Sadly, the scandals, criminality and ethical abuses of the organization are largely ignored by the American public and by the institutions of government charged with oversight and correction. Outrage after outrage is reported, hearings are held, Inspector General reports are issued -- but the systemic corruption is never really tackled and dirty cops skate away virtually unscathed.
Read the whole thing here.
We have the best Ruling Class ever. “Federal Government Issued $783.5M in Stimulus Checks for Prisoners.”
We have the worst, I mean BEST, Ruling Class ever. Yeah, because losing 745,000 jobs to put you all on unemployment benefits is a genius idea. “Study: Democrats' capital gains tax hike could cost more than 745,000 jobs.”
It’s a Brave New World. “Women's Prison Dealing With 'Wave of Pregnancies' in Wake of California's 'Compassionate' Trans Law.”
True. “No one wants to watch Olympic athletes who aren't proud of America.”
It’s been 12 years since Newsweek published this iconic cover. According to Karl Marx, socialism is the first stage on the road to . . . ?
This is a disaster of untold proportions. This just might be the trigger that starts a civil war. “Is A Liquor Shortage Looming?”
THE UGLY
Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on in Australia? Its Ruling Class has become a religious cult that is approaching Jonestown levels of insanity.
Australia goes full China. Never go full China: “Australian Government Begins Army Patrols to Keep Citizens in Lockdown Until Next Year.”
