From a great distance, without technically advanced optics, using only the iron sights of your intellect, you are once again right on target. Disclaimer, I speak metaphorically, 😎

"Meanwhile, in the President Unelect’s place stands the multi-talentless Kamala Harris, the poster woman for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)." You crack me up, Joel! Multi-talentless!

That is priceless, or in the words of VP Harris, "it is time for us to be do what we have been doing. And that time is every day." We are members of the community because the community is us and the community is everyone and we are everyone and the community is now. The community is unburdened by the burden of what has been burdening it.

Mic drop! Outstanding column. Can’t wait to share it my friends on both ends of the spectrum.

Thanks Joel... despite the dire subject very enjoyable to read. I suppose the good news is that DEI as a principal of organizing culture, society, institutions and government is with certainty likely to produce inferior outcomes. I guess it is going to come down to how long citizens are willing to tolerate worsening lifestyles wrapped in tyranny.

Good place to start the fight is in their pocketbooks. Got rid of my Wells Fargo account last year, and took all my money out of Fidelity this year. Small start but communism has no place in business…

Without a doubt, she is an excellent example of the "Peter Principle" in action. Great column. Witty and acerbic as usual. Thanks.

Her ascendency under the great Willie Brown gives new meaning to the Peter Principle.

I got it and I see your points (of view). Nicely done, sir. But what about your stop in Hot Springs, Arkansas? Don't miss going to the baths, not that you might not need some soothing relaxation in the midst of your travels in the heartland of Americana.

You can't fix stupid! Alas, they have the money and the power. So, who is stupid?

"Equitable treatment means we all end up in the same place. "

Sums it up pretty good! Been trying for bumper sticker/t-shirt wording that would describe Collectivist Ideology. I'll try, but Kamala may have nailed it.

If Kamala is serious about everyone ending up in the same place, she’s going to need to shed about 98-99% of her net worth.

$13k is world GDP (or GWP?) divided by 8 billion. Maybe a better figure is a world net worth divided by 8 billion. Problem is, how do you dilute assets that no one could afford (maybe in shares of an asset?). Some smart collectivist I'm sure has already thought of a solution. Kamala, will we be able to sell what we have been allotted? And then buy assets based on our preferences? Actually, what sort of medium would help any sort of transaction we are allowed? WDC (world digital currency on my designated world reserve account), gold (hopefully, but not counting on) BTC (yeah, right), SDD (social digital dollars)? Lotsa questions.....least of which is how to get humans to behave more like ants in an ant colony. Ant colonies do need a queen!

I’m sure she/her in a blue suit is figuring out those tough questions right now.

I suspect, you give her too much credit. Those questions have already been answered and are being acted upon (I could very well be wrong). I wish someone could pin down by who. JOEL! (and Substack community) A little help here!

Is it possible that Kamala actually gets nominated given the hilarious quotes you shared 😂

OMG. What a graphic! Outstanding

Probably the funniest post I’ve read!😂 And Kamala represents America’s “educated Elite”.

Nailed it again. We should equitably distribute the debt of the state to its hallowed representatives. I’m sure they would abide.

As does the dude

What can we expect from someone named after a professional wrestler?

Yes Joel, seems the end of America was started by demented, self loathing white males, or almost male, or male-ish or just plain old dumb white whatever’s 🤔

Joel, I agree with some of your readers, that your coverage of President Melei is positive and a shining light for freedom. Our choices here are worst (Kamala) and almost worst (Trump).I don't think we have much to be proud of in the situation we are in.

Pay representatives extra high wages, give them tax free campaign funds, allow them to insider trade stocks while they force the price up with free money, while they get extra bennies from Pfizer and the other drug companies while those companies have liability protection from drug induced damages and actually kill people, while they advertise on TV and gang together to collectively censor citizens with opinions that might make them less money from dissenting opinions on their drugs, while at the same time right the laws the politicians force upon their constituencies. Now we must listen to how they are trying to save democracy. How about no! Take your WEF training for future leaders and go argue how your economc ideas don't make the economy grow slower and slower. But wait,... in debates the commentators administering the debate never ask questions about the country's debt, no discussion. In what century are we living? It is all about giving to the 50% that are already getting a free ride from tax payers, earners and those who work for a living and contribute to the country.
