RSSI worked for an American electronics maker. I know, not many of those left. We sold digital outdoor displays across the US. As business expanded overseas, we continued to run into Chinese competitors who were seemingly able to sell their finished products for below our cost of materials. As we were able to buy materials from the same sources (but chose not to, as the quality was poor), we realised we were dealing with good old-fashioned product dumping.
In other words, Chinese industries are subsidised by their government to be able to sell below cost. Foreign competitors cannot compete, and are forced out of the market, as we were. For the naysayers, we used the identical manufacturing machines and processes as the Chinese, and human labor is a very small percentage of the cost of production. Product dumping is illegal, and immoral. It decimates national manufacturing. “Cheap” isn’t cheap if everyone loses their job and the products don’t last anyway.
I wonder how much Zelenskyy gets from Gap to wear their clothing to all these fancy international coffee klatches? As if a guy with billions in the bank can’t afford a decent suit. He’s the John Fetterman of international leaders.
Here’s an idea: compensate black Americans based on their positive contributions to our country and society. Then subtract the direct (welfare, law enforcement, incarceration) and indirect costs (loss and suffering due to decimation of real estate values, theft, mayhem, rape and murder). The $5 million credit ‘might’ just balance the books. Hand them their $.37 surplus and call it a day.
They’re kidding about this, “we don’t know who dunnit” nonsense, right? The country with the most to gain did it, and their navy was “coincidentally” in the same area in the days leading up to the sabotage. Now that we’re facing the real possibility of nuclear annihilation, isn’t it time to dispense with the naïveté? The U.S. may want to cripple the world’s manufacturing so they can rebuild their own, but how many decades would that take? We’re talking a minimum of 100K factories, folks. The same government that spent $5.3 trillion dollars this fiscal year, and has ZERO to show for it but higher prices on everything.
Why bother with years of skipping college classes, getting drunk and scoring weed? Save the “under-represented” students’ valuable time, and print out a degree for anyone who asks. The US will soon be packed full of doctors, engineers and scientists. Still charge them the same tuition, however. Otherwise it wouldn’t be fair. We’re all about the fairness.
Yes, and "doctorates" as well. After all, if the Biden Thing's wife can be called "Doctor," then everyone really ought to have that privilege.
print out a degree for anyone who asks.
It used to be that toy makers would occasionally experiment with a “black Santa” or other such race swaps. but sales (even among ethnic minorities) were meagre at best. Now the wokesters are forcibly cramming gay, lesbian, or black “heroes” into every cartoon, movie, and action figure will not change people’s mind about how stupid and yes, racist, this is. In many countries, whites are now the minority. Does this mean we will shortly see a reverse flip back to white leads to give them a racial leg up?
We’re seeing the effects and not the causes of black-on-white violence. The cause is almost certainly the years of media and government banging the white supremacist drum. “All whites are racists.” “America was founded as a racist nation.” “Blacks have been robbed of all opportunities by whites and other races.” “Blacks (but nobody else) deserve billions in reparations.” And finally, “All evidence of our terrible racist past must be removed from buildings, books, schools, and statues. Only then will we have truly atoned.” Is it any wonder that some mentally unstable, triggered blacks would assume they are “justified” to react however they wish in light of generations of such ‘systemic racism’? Where do you think they got the idea to randomly loot billions in goods last year?
The problem, according to the “trained Marxists”, is by doing great things throughout history, white men have made too many black men look really bad in comparison. Expecting black people to rise to the occasion is, by all current liberal accounts, “systemically racist”. So tell me, when do we start tearing down all the marble-clad government buildings, national monuments, museums, laboratories, university campuses, bridges, highways, and skyscrapers- the vast majority of which were designed by white architects and engineers? Shut off the electrical grid too while we’re at it. Don’t they all serve as ugly reminders of white supremacy? Accordingly to the ‘Righteous Woke’, we may only be truly “cleansed” of our racial iniquity when all races live at the level of aboriginal tribes, squatting naked in mud huts.
The only question Joe Biden is asking is where the heck he left his Depends.
To see exactly where this sort of policy will lead, take a look at South Africa today.
This is a subject you’re not even supposed to mention if you’re not the right color. Blacks have been programmed as a wedge between citizens. Now’s it’s reached the ludicrous point where it’s “cool” to hate your own country- even when representing it, as shown in the latest Games. Part of the programming declares they must be given every chance to win their own participation trophy regardless of attitude, effort, or behaviour. An entire racial group taught that hard work, discipline and self-control are “boring” and racist. No need to carve out a “separate but equal” nation inside the U.S.- just encourage them to emigrate to any of the existing black-run country utopias. Isn’t Wakonda now open?
The Bilderberg Group has been meeting for years and neither press nor public are allowed. What are they doing in there, swapping family recipes? The NSA’s existence was denied for years (AKA, “No Such Agency”). What about the 15 OTHER intelligence agencies no one mentions? Skull and Bones just a fun-loving fraternity? Bohemian Grove “never happened” until someone snuck in a camera. To have a conspiracy, it only requires, “two or more people to plot crime in secret”. If the senseless global lockdown taught us nothing else, it is that The State does not care about you. At all. It does, however, care very much about controlling and (when necessary) silencing or killing you. The uber rich decide every election, every new law via lobbyists, every war, and manage every outcome. The fact that 1% of the population owns half the planet certainly means they must be doing something ‘right’.
It's not just the uber rich. The key word is lobbyist. The deep state is the lobbying powers. To the extent that security services, clandestine operations, bombing and killing are involved, that means the military contracting lobbyists for the most part. The Israel lobby wouldn't be one tenth as strong if it weren't for the Lockheed lobby and the Boeing lobby and the Raytheon lobby et al bringing the cash.
The uber rich decide every election, every new law via lobbyists, every war, and manage every outcome.
My sister adopted a boy after fostering him for a number of years. At the same time, three of the boy’s siblings were placed from birth with another woman in the same foster program. In spite of being a single mother, she provided a wonderful and loving home for those kids. She and my sister visited often to ensure the siblings could play together and remain close. The woman put her name in for adoption, but in spite of stellar CPS reports and happy, well-adjusted kids, all three were removed from her care and given to a gay couple for immediate adoption. The couple (two guys) cut all visitation rights to the former foster mother, and severely curtailed my sister’s ability to have her son visit with his own siblings. The unfortunate kids placed with these two nuts now show clear signs of emotional abuse, and are not allowed out of their sight for any reason during the few brief visits my sister is allowed. Any complaint or concern would be labeled “homophobic” and runs the risk not only of legal prosecution, but possible loss of her own adopted son to the State. This is not a random aberration, but an established policy.
After the Khmer Rouge army conquered Cambodia, communities were carefully surveilled to discover anyone who might be a threat to the Party. AK-toting youngsters would speak French to a suspect, and if they inadvertently answered in kind, would be bagged and frog-marched to the killing fields. Likewise, anyone wearing spectacles was summarily executed, as the literate were obviously a dire threat to the Communist regime. File this example under, “It could never happen here.”
Next up: the King James Bible. There are simply too many white people in that book. Plus, God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah due to their inhabitants choosing alternate lifestyles. So God was obviously guilty of hate crimes. Incredibly, there will be plenty of folks who don’t know I’m being ironic.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. History has stopped.”

A typical communist trick is to declare no difference where there is, and a huge chasm where none exists. To reach the point when the average person is perfectly comfortable holding two contradictory ideas in their mind and believing both.
“If they can make you believe absurdities, they can make you commit atrocities.” (Voltaire)
The punchline to this saga is the communist Chinese are some of the most racist people on the planet. They have engineered a false American split using race because they are ignorant of morality, having none themselves. Otherwise it would have been Catholics and Protestants at each other’s throats instead of blacks against all non-blacks. The CCP will continue to use our “useful idiots” until the U.S. is a dilapidated crack house of its former strength and glory. Then they will come to claim their ill-gotten territory. Most people probably don’t know thousands of Chinese and Russians have been carpet bagging across Venezuela for the past 15 years. Coming soon to an American city near you.
This is the moment Joe Biden realizes his new boss is China, not the American people. Be careful what you wish for, Joe!
I threw out our TV twenty years ago, but I have to say I find the topic very interesting. I even went to school for television and radio programming and scriptwriting, but left that field once I realized what they mean by ‘programming’.
“Lost the popular vote”? Isn’t that exactly what all the sworn affidavits, and lawsuits are looking to resolve? This sounds strikingly similar to the claims in 2016 when Hillary “won” the popular vote.
To paraphrase our pals in the CIA, “This disinformation program will continue until everything the average person believes is false.”
While we dither over an actor’s comments from 50 years ago, our nation’s political and corporate leaders have gutted our nation of it’s wealth, productive output, and probably future. We’re fiddling while Rome burns, exactly as ‘They’ prefer it. “News is that which someone, somewhere does not want revealed. Everything else is advertising.”
With one wildly irrational and illegal move, Trump has anointed himself as king bullfrog in the very same swamp he vowed to drain. He has crossed the Rubicon; from now on our fate will be in the hands of Orange Caesar.
