All The People Who Think They Are Better Than You Are Much, Much Worse

[Excerpts]
Now our liberal elite, backed up by the Fredocon whose awakening into
wokeness perfectly coincides with their utter rejection by us
conservatives, have decided that our entire history is based upon slavery.
The New York Times is spearheading this latest "trash-the-rubes"
initiative, fresh off its "RUSSIA! TREASON! COLLUSION! EMOLUMENTS!"
humiliation.
They tried to shame us (many of us veterans of the Cold War) with
allegations of partying with Putin. It didn’t work out so great, so why not
pivot to morally undermining us for having slaves we didn’t have?
As I’ve asked before, is it too much to ask that our elite actually be
elite?
Apparently.
It’s not like the ruling caste has achievements to back up its arrogance.
Our elite is a collection of pedestrian mediocrities who inherited our
civilization from the people who actually created it and fought for it.
Like every spoiled child who was handed free stuff by his doting mommy and
daddy, our elite is resentful and obnoxious.
Elites don’t appreciate what it takes to build, feed, fuel and defend what
we have – as a group, they didn’t do any of those things.
No one appreciates what he didn’t work for and earn, and our alleged
betters did not work for and earn the positions and prestige they hold at
the heads of our institutions. They got where they are by just showing up,
and by parroting hacky, politically correct dogma, not by actual
achievement.
Look at what our universities are pumping out. Their elite graduates can’t
read or write and they think history started in 1996. The only things the
elites have ever created are evermore tiresome and weird gender identities.
A historical comparison:
Hello, I am Teddy Roosevelt. I was born wealthy, won the Medal of Honor,
busted the trusts like this Facebook atrocity of which you speak, and I
literally punched out a bear once.
Yo, my name is Kaden. I’m an otherkin-identifying, non-binary gendered,
two-spirit from Brooklyn with a degree in Climate Change Ventriloquism from
Yale. I’m not ashamed to cry when I see a MAGA hat because my mom says my
feelings are important. Bernie is too patriarchal for me, so Beto 2020!
Here’s a question, and it’s a fair one. What has the ruling class done
right in the last 20 years?
Crickets.
We know what America achieved under the old ruling class.
It beat the Nazis – the real Nazis, not the fake bugaboo “Nazis” that the
left labels everyone on the right. It fought through the Depression. It
trashed the Democrat’s Jim Crow regime. It designed the ’65 Mustang,
created the Big Mac and put a man on the moon. It crushed the communists in
the Cold War.
The old elite was not perfect, but at least you can point to some tics in
the “WIN” column.
Not so with the coterie of "elites" running our institutions today. It’s
all check marks under “LOSS.” Iraq. The Wall Street Meltdown. Obamacare.
Do you see a lot of successes? Do you see any? Have I overlooked some
tremendous victory this generation of our betters pulled off? I can’t think
of any offhand. Gee, how about social media? Yeah, there’s progress.
We are actually losing ground. Our light bulbs don’t light anymore, our
front-loading washing machines don’t wash anymore and our straws don’t
straw anymore. Even our Star Wars movies today are exponentially crappier
than the ones from 40 years ago.
So, what’s just one great thing the magnificent, magical masterminds of our
elite have pulled off since maybe 2000?
Just one.
One thing.
Go.
Uh, today we’re now really aware of our [FILL IN THE BLANK WITH TODAY’S
DESIGNATED VILLAIN GROUP] privilege?
That’s not a thing.
And even that nonsense only applies to us Normals.
For all their newly-woke awareness of their privilege, have you ever once
seen a single member of our alleged elite argue that, due to its privilege,
the elite should give up some of its power? You and me, sure.
We totally need to give up our freedom and our money too. Have you ever
seen a single policy prescription for one of the pseudo-crises the elite is
constantly trying to pimp turn out to be that they stop being in charge,
that they give up some their ill-gotten gains?
Please. They’re so concerned with global warming that they all have to take
private jets to Davos to tell us we need to start biking to work.
Yet, with a track record unbroken by success and unmarred by anything like
competence, our elite still offers us a laundry list of tasks it demands we
Normals undertake.
Astonishingly, it does so with a straight face.
And our elite can't back up its arrogance with some sort of history of
accomplishments, beyond the level of, “Well, our generation of leaders is
the very best us we can be!”
There’s a healthcare crisis. Our task is to give up our freedom and give up
our money to the elite to solve it.
There’s a gun crisis. Our task is to give up our freedom and give up our
money to the elite to solve it.
There’s a climate crisis. Our task is to give up our freedom and give up
our money to the elite to solve it.
They created most of these problems in the first place.
They whine about student loans, but who set up the college cash machine
that is American academia?
Our medical system is a wreck? Dudes, our medical system is Obamacare, and
you’re the ones who stuffed it down our gullets!
In what way has our elite proven itself capable of doing anything right,
much less overseeing our doctors, protecting our newly-disarmed citizenry
and controlling the weather?
What happens if the useless elite prevails?
Well, find out in my action-packed yet hilarious novels about the United
States’ split into red and blue countries, People's Republic, Indian
Country and Wildfire.

Joe Biden Continues To Embarrass Himself Over Fake War Story Fiasco

Former Vice President Joe Biden is on the struggle bus. He’s ahead in the
polls, yes. But he’s also become a gaffe machine. From not knowing which is
his current location on the campaign trail to telling fake war stories,
Joey has done it all in less than a week. We have a long way to go before
Election Day 2020. And a frontrunner who can’t get simple things right has
to have Democrats a bit uneasy.
Biden is at the top of the heap because of his name recognition and this
notion that he can attract white working-class voters. He can do that, but
not with this Democratic Party.
Biden will be forced to answer about abortion up until the moment of birth,
health care for illegal aliens, and open borders. He will have to adopt or
appear to be not hostile to those positions—all of which are unpopular.
Even health care is a crapshoot now that Democrats appear to be totally
fine with nuking private health insurance in their quest to adopt Medicare
for All across the country, which will lead to the mother of all tax
increases.
Yet, before that all happens, we have to discuss this war story fiasco. The
former VP told this anecdote at a campaign stop in New Hampshire this
week—and it’s pretty much all false. Even The Washington Post couldn’t spin
it [emphasis mine]:
Joe Biden painted a vivid scene for the 400 people packed into a college
meeting hall. A four-star general had asked the then-vice president to
travel to Konar province in Afghanistan, a dangerous foray into
“godforsaken country” to recognize the remarkable heroism of a Navy captain.
Some told him it was too risky, but Biden said he brushed off their
concerns.“We can lose a vice president,” he said. “We can’t lose many more
of these kids. Not a joke.”
The Navy captain, Biden recalled Friday night, had rappelled down a 60-foot
ravine under fire and retrieved the body of an American comrade, carrying
him on his back. Now the general wanted Biden to pin a Silver Star on the
American hero who, despite his bravery, felt like a failure.
“He said, ‘Sir, I don’t want the damn thing!’ ” Biden said, his jaw
clenched and his voice rising to a shout. “ ‘Do not pin it on me, Sir!
Please, Sir. Do not do that! He died. He died!’”
The room was silent.
“This is the God’s truth,” Biden had said as he told the story. “My word as
a Biden.”
Except almost every detail in the story appears to be incorrect. Based on
interviews with more than a dozen U.S. troops, their commanders and Biden
campaign officials, it appears as though the former vice president has
jumbled elements of at least three actual events into one story of bravery,
compassion and regret that never happened.
What’s worse is that Biden pretty much doubled down on it, saying that the
essence of this war story that never happened was true. Julio Rosas at The
Washington Examiner has more[emphasis mine]:
Biden appears to have recalled inaccurately a 2011 awards ceremony in
Afghanistan's Wardak province, when he pinned the Bronze Star on Army Staff
Sgt. Chad Workman after Workman had attempted to save a friend from a
burning vehicle.
"In the space of three minutes, Biden got the time period, the location,
the heroic act, the type of medal, the military branch and the rank of the
recipient wrong, as well as his own role in the ceremony," the Washington
Post reported, adding he appears to have muddled three different stories
into one.Talking with the Post and Courier on Thursday, Biden said he did
not read the Post's report.
“I don’t understand what they’re talking about, but the central point is it
was absolutely accurate what I said,” Biden said. “He refused the medal. I
put it on him, he said, ‘Don’t do that to me, sir. He died. He died.’"
“There was one that relates to the forward-operating base in Afghanistan
that I went to and a separate one where I went on the streets of
Afghanistan where a young man pulled someone from a burning humvee,” Biden
said.
Joe, it was false. It either happened or it didn’t—and it looks like this
story didn’t happen.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) also got into some hot water during his 2010
Senate race, where he said he served in Vietnam. He didn’t.
Disgraced anchor Brian Williams, one of the founding fathers of fake news,
also told some war stories about Iraq, one of which was a harrowing tale
about being on a helicopter that was taken down by rocket-propelled grenade
fire. That was a lie.
