I did a 1280. 760 Math, 520 Verbal. I was not clear-headed in high school thinking verbally with language, but thinking mathematically was easy.

New-Sum obviously LIED about his SAT scores. Or else he was just an intelligent, arrogant goof in high school. He is intelligent verbally and who cares about his math skills. He is not a dummy, he is a smart snake.

Do not mistake these liberal snakes for dummies, they are intelligent and evil. Kamala was not at all an air-head. She was certainly Mrs. good head, but her campaign persona was built similarly. Dumb it down, and hire speech writers to come up with a John F Kennedy "Ask not what your country..." type of sound bite. She tried "The significance of the passage of time" bullshit repeated 4 times in one minute or so. Said once, it would have been ignored and forgotten. She repeated it 4 times, to the effect of cementing the idiotic word salad into people's memories.

Yeah, I guess she's just an idiot to make such a stupid mis-calculation. Everyone knows that she sucked her way almost to the top. She certainly was trying to give Biden a heart-attack suck that would make her President. That's why Jill despised her. She knew.

Notice how the black man got silent while he was being insulted as unintelligent, while New-Sum was condescending towards him at the same time; yet he then responded by smiling and going along with it...I wonder if the black man there was secretly hating New-Sum by trying to save face in public by liberal peer-pressure. He basically sucked a dick, hated every second of it, and then gave a big happy grin. I would love to actually know what was going on in his mind...true ignorant compliance, truly manipulated, or just afraid to stand up for himself and truly insulted....

I wish I could post photos in here. I have such a good cartoon meme of her standing in front of a urinal...maybe I downloaded it from you years ago...?

The most interesting chart I like in there is the one that surveyed people's personal values. The survey asked people what they valued most: Living a meaningful life, or making lots of money. In the 60's and 70's people largely preferred living a meaningful life. The trend began to reverse "around 1971" and now the trend shows that fewer people want to live a meaningful life and would rather make lots of money.

A simple concept, that of LIMITS, generally a facet of CONSERVATISM, was thrown out the window along with the gold standard. Then people realized that money was free, the politicians started printing and stealing more and more, while throwing money at the People which only corrupted people's values.

Nice job, tricky Dick!

But it would have happened anyway, it was inevitable. A Liberal at the same time in history would have eliminated the gold standard in a bleeding-heart beat.

Why did the "Fiat Bank Cartel" allow for the debt after WW2 to be reduced? Why not just keep on running up the tab?

I was with you all the way until you got to "great on rations and on those terrific powdered eggs"....yours must have come from a different place than the ones I had!! :)

Thanks for the explanation, NS - I was at the same place as 73S - spinning in circles in the ole' brain.

He has been working on doing that, with some success. However, it is fairly embedded and is going to take time. It is always amazing to me how a system can get FUBAR'ed in one Democrat term and then the adults come back in the room and it takes two or more terms to unwind.....

Thanks for the post LP - well stated. And when the state discovers a way to infringe, and the courts back them up the second step is always more intrusive.
As was pointed out in the article, coming next will be stopping vehicles to check for "subversives" or whatever they decide a good reason would be....

I don't make it to Florida anymore because the relatives I had in New Smyrna Beach passed away, but I have a brother with a place outside of Titusville but he is rarely there. It would be a hoot if I could sit in the back of one of your classes and just listen in and I'd buy you a steak dinner for the privilege, but alas me getting to Florida any time soon is very unlikely. Sometimes a Feynman video will pop up on YouTube when I'm exploring it at night and I'll click on it. Many times he's over my head, but playing the video over helps out. I figure sitting in one of your lectures would have the same impact, but no rewind, LOL! I've taken the liberty of exploring some of your work online, which you put up links to, and I wish I was 50 years younger to take more advantage of it.

And that would be a tough way to commit suicide....

No bet rainman - They would win going away. Especially if they counted all of the "suspected" Arkancided bodies....

I just didn't know it.

What a great way to get into the weekend. Well done.

Thank you, DOB and OUC!

Dino, you are a poet.

Loved the last one. And deliver us from evil.

I teach about that O-ring example every semester. Our former university president was on the disaster investigation team that testified before Congress.

That situation was entirely preventable. There is a Discovery Channel documentary on that disaster that was accurate and fairly complete, but I know more of the story.

The Morton Thiokol engineers tried to call off the launch because they knew that the coefficient of thermal expansion was high enough that the O-ring would shrink too much. The temperature that morning was an all-time record cold in recorded Titusville, Florida history of 18 degrees Fahrenheit. We just had our coldest temp since then was about a month ago, and quite a few plants are going to be replaced this March.

DUI checkpoints aren't always near places that serve/sell adult beverages, either. Odd, don't you think?

Nice article, LibertPen.

Way back when I was still working for a large corporation job postings with "diverse candidates welcome" always meant white male need not apply. Maybe Pete Hegseth will make a difference by throwing DEI into the trash can of history.

For sure, but it doesn't even have to be cryogenic cold. Some time back I read a biography on Richard Feynman (title: "Genius" as I recall) and he determined the Challenger disaster was caused by an O-ring that cracked due to the extreme cold snap the launch pad and rocket suffered just before launch. Choosing the right materials is crucial.

I was being pleasantly amused as I moved along this morning, especially with the new Lone Ranger and Tonto as well as AOC's millionaire socialists (hammer and sickle for the C is spot on), but clicking on the obese Gretta was a coffee spewer, LOL! Follow that up with the bust gag and more AOC wisdom and please please save from lefty white women (but are they all women - woman? What's a woman?). Thanks OUC!!!!!!

Outside the US, often 'liberal' still means the opposite of what the Deep State stands for.
Unfortunately, people don't often support those 'liberal' policies.
Instead many support socialist policies.

NASA? Call it BASA - Bureaucrats in Space. What have they done in the past 30 years and $100's of Billions but put a telescope in space?

DEI is their priority, not space exploration. Russia spends 1/10 the money but shuttles the US astronauts to the US space station while NASA made a telescope..

Same deal at the Pentagon. Creative people like me are not considered for contracts, all "set-aside" for others bearing the preferred physical characteristics.

Additionally, Rand’s writings are eerily prophetic. Paraphrasing one of her insightful observations, she indicated:

"The liberals will defeat the conservatives; the progressives will defeat the liberals; the socialists will defeat the progressives; the communists will defeat the socialists."

As Rand concluded, when the Marxist communists win, total European collectivism will be achieved: the sacrifice of all individuals to the state, resulting in an inevitable authoritarian dictatorship.
