#1 bizarre social pathologies normalized

Fine phrase that. Hat tip to writer.

#2 The Orange Man's attack on the 'so-called' Federal Reserve provides evidence of his attempts to 'derail.'

#3 A fine effort as usual from the Schlichter... except maybe for this unfortunate implied analogy between Trump and Deliverance's "make you squeal like a pig" illiterate hillbilly bu--f---ers:
though every time they come up against him they end up dragging themselves home like Ned Beatty after a particularly tough canoe trip...

#4 This is spot on-- nice summary of the Uniparty's grand Global Grift:

... Moderate Democrats got money, power and an open season on the local talent.

Look at how many Democratic Party top brass have become extraordinarily rich, post office thanks to their grafting:
Al Gore (100m or so that's to Silicon Valley baksheesh).
Clinton's shakedown act that's netted him $150 million.
Obama's $68 million sweetheart deal with yet another Silicon Valley beneficiary of lax regulatory treatment by his admin.
The Biden Family's multiple mega-million dollar scams involving MBNA, ChiComs, Ukrainian thieves...
Joe Manchin's daughter's payola.
Donna Shalala's revolving-door board position with that poster child of corruption in the health insurance biz, United Health.
A veritable parade of Obama and other Dem admin flunkies into highly paid cushy corporate posts for the virtue-signaling, left-leaning companies they were supposed to be regulating.

Corporate types represented largely by squishy Republicans got globalism and the ability to ship our jobs out and import Third World serfs in.

All those shitty libertarian moronic greedheads-- Koch most notoriously, also Romney and McCain and especially the shitty right-of-center editorialists like Bret Stephens-- who trash native-born Americans and praise imported helots who gave destroyed communities, schools, hospitals, good governance, public safety and rule of law across so much of the Southwest: f--- these shameless hypocrites.

And the fake conservatives of Conservative, Inc., got to cash in without the necessity of actually conserving anything.

What is left of this nation's cultural heritage, especially our admiration for the highest achievements of our European ancestors? The nation's schools breed illiteracy. Most of our university humanities and social science departments are a complete shitshow. Our entertainment industry is a swamp of stupidity, comic-book nonsense and moronic virtue-signaling.

The only people that the old system didn’t work for were the American people.

Yes. Remember them?
.
We are ruled by morons.

F--- them and their absurd Shitshow.

#5 With the money goes the power. Without either, the left is just another political group with a goofy, unhinged philosophy.

#6 Undermine the legitimacy of the government there won't be any gravy train. See the collapse of the Soviet Union. First gradually then all of the sudden.

#7 We are heading for the knee of the failure curve. Look at Congress for spending money like crazy persons, screw the debt.

The slow decline moves steadily, then the knee of the curve, and then the bottom drops out. Nobody is concerned about the trajectory.
