The Italian political theorist and sociologist Vilfredo Pareto observed that all ruling classes contain a balance of what he referred to as residues, and of those residues, two types are most prominent: the type one residues, or foxes, and the type two residues, or lions. Foxes are the elites who are crafty and clever. They focus on combinations to create new ideas and solutions. Lions are strong and brave. They focus on persistence of identity and tradition.
Foxes are academics and merchants; lions are generals and police captains. While one group may dominate at any given time, all ruling classes contain a mixture of these two primary residues.

Watch: Mark Levin educates Marxist democrats basic economics | Blaze Media
Watch: Mark Levin educates Marxist democrats basic economics | Blaze Media:
“Under capitalism,” he continues, “the pie gets bigger and bigger and bigger except when these masterminds Bernie Sanders, Biden, Reich jump in. And they try and decide who will and who will not succeed.”
This is precisely why the attack on entire industries like automobiles — by “Democratic socialists” like Biden — is going to hurt the economy more than help it.
“The more the government rules over the economy, the harder it is for the economy to grow. And sometimes it begins to shrink,” Levin explains.

When the inevitable war with China comes, consider what our current interdependence with China will mean to the American way of life:
- ...We buy countless finished goods from China. Goodbye to that, for the duration.
- American factories buy countless components everything from off-the-shelf standard products to customized parts. Don’t assume we can just buy them from another country. For millions of globally-sourced parts, China is the only current source. It’s not a matter of ramping up production; it’s a matter of relearning how to make things.

“This assessment provides clear evidence of growing resource adequacy concerns over the next 10 years. Capacity deficits are projected in areas where future generator retirements are expected before enough replacement resources are in service to meet rising demand forecasts. Energy risks are projected in areas where the future resource mix could fail to deliver the necessary supply of electricity under energy-constrained conditions.” For example, subfreezing temperatures can create energy-limiting conditions by disrupting the natural gas fuel supplies to generators, leading to fuel-related derates or outages and potentially insufficient electricity supply.This deliberate oversight is well hidden.
In a brief list of “assumptions” up front, we find just this easily missed partial sentence: “Peak demand is based on average peak weather conditions….”
Nothing more is said until we get to Page 126, where we find this single sentence: “Projected total internal demand is based on normal weather (50/50 distribution).”

Corrupt, politicized "health officials" are our new enemy?-----Leprosy, Polio, Malaria, TB, Measles … and Massive Unscreened Illegal Immigration By James Varney
"...For two years running, polio has been detected in some New York water samples, and this fall, leprosy re-emerged in Florida, where cases of malaria have also been recorded.
Health officials say they are not sure why these and other infectious diseases are resurfacing.
Health officials say they are not sure why these and other infectious diseases are resurfacing.
- One distinct possibility, which officials are loath to discuss, is that the millions of migrants who have crossed into the country in recent years could be bringing the scourges with them, since many are from countries where such rare diseases persist and vaccination programs are not robust.

DHS Secretary Mayorkas roundly mocked after floating yet another absurd euphemism for illegal immigration | Blaze Media
DHS Secretary Mayorkas roundly mocked after floating yet another absurd euphemism for illegal immigration | Blaze Media:
Over the last several years, liberals have been casting about seeking a term for immigrants who enter the country illegally that does not mention the fact that such people are guilty of illegal immigration. At various times, "undocumented immigrant," "asylum seekers," "migrants," and others have enjoyed their day in the sun. Now the government official charged with stopping illegal immigration is floating a new term, but the early returns suggest that this one may not be around long.
In a Saturday tweet that implausibly celebrated the government's efforts at restricting illegal immigration, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed that the government is cracking down on what he called "irregular migration," by which he apparently meant illegal immigration.
