    The Power Elite.

    If, during an election, tech giants take unprecedented steps to censor the internet to prevent the spread of incriminating reporting about a candidate, then of course that candidate, upon winning, should turn key government posts over to them. Anything else would be ungrateful.

    This is how interviews should be. Hilarious and insightful.

    And away we go.

    U.S.-Iran relations will never be stable and peaceful until Iran becomes a democracy.

    I completely agree!

    Christopher Lasch should be more widely read beyond The Revolt of the Elites, excellent though that book is. The Minimal Self and The True and Only Heaven should be read by more on the right for deep, prescient insights into our condition

    A good thread on the deep underlying symbiosis of “pro-choice” ideology and capitalism.

    Ah, the trending hashtag: breathe that sweet, servile odor of prochoicers singing their allegiance to their capitalist bosses.

    The modern “clerisy”, that is.

    The media will never acknowledge, much less apologize, for the raft of falsehoods it broadcast 24/7 for the last half decade. That’s because it is not a third estate, but an arm of the first estate.

    Wow, can't believe Amy Coney Barrett breached her secret agreement with Trump to throw the election his way.

    Not infrequently, the view from outside gives you better insight into what is going on inside. The U.S. today is a unique form of liberal oligarchy that was disrupted by a momentary burst of democracy. The elite made sure to roll that back - amusingly, in the name of “democracy.”

    In 1960, Americans worried that a Catholic president would take direction from Rome. That worry was never realistic, alas. Today, they should worry our second Catholic president takes direction from Davos. This worry is all too realistic, alas.

    Wow. One, a call to sacrifice the comforts of home to defend the homeland. The other, how to burnish your individual resume. A small window into a civilization in decline.

    Compare this Chinese military recruitment video with the American one below. This probably says something about regimes and ruling classes. The identifiable themes in the Chinese video are duty, honor, patriotism, sacrifice, family, fatherland, identity 1/

    Build the Firewall.

    As I've pointed out before, Pornhub is a foreign site on foreign servers. If you want to kill it, you favor China-level restrictions on US citizens. Go!

    Nine of the fourteen districts flipped by Republicans have incomes below the national average. Of the three seats flipped by Democrats, one was the richest (NC-2) and one the second richest (GA-7) in their states.

    Awful. Liberals continue oppression of religion under the banner of “civility” (as well as friendliness to tech monopolies, China, and Mid East militarism). Journalists and academics celebrate the return of “norms.”

    Just last year Becerra filed lawsuits arguing the Little Sisters of the Poor shouldn’t be exempt from the 2011 HHS contraceptive mandate. Biden’s choice to lead HHS — in odium fidei — tells us so much about what “decency” means to him.

    Yes.

    America peaked in 1935 with almost 7 million farms. We're down to just over 2 million (and the top 2 percent of farms occupy about 1/3 of the farming land), decreasing every year. Meanwhile, a glance around shows malaise in every area of our lives (except learning to code).

    If the Biden admin is genuinely interested in uniting the country, this is a the way. Shut down Big Porn.

    Vice President-Elect , you have plenty on your plate. But in California, you were a leader in fighting human trafficking, and I hope that as VP you'll be a leader in tackling the surging exploitation of children on sites like Pornhub:

    This.

    Pornhub has more visitors than Netflix, Yahoo or Amazon. It rakes in money from 3 billion ad impressions a day. Why let a major company like this profit from child sexual abuse materials? So many of the kids I talked to had attempted suicide after their rape videos were shown.
