    It's amusing to watch how predictably the left reacts. The DNC immediately threw Biden under the bus and Sanders threw the DNC under the bus. This morning, the enemy (NPR) broadcast a piece featuring some Darren Ache....something or other, MIT economist and recent Nobel recipient. He spewed and spouted all the phony baloney talking points of the left, demonstrating Nobel will give one of their silly prizes to anyone. I'm waiting for the next pretext for riots. I'm sure it will come.

    The steal was a blessing. Without it, the great majority of exposure of the corruption would likely have not occurred. The left did this to themselves, and they did it so ham-fistedly that I can barely believe that it was not intentional. Blithering nitwits.

    Those seem to be the same people who want their kids to get trophies for losing a soccer game. Lash them once with an 8 ga. soft iron wire across their back and it might straighten them up. OTOH, anyone that far gone might be beyond correction. Difficult to tell these days. This one of those aspects of American culture gone amok that has, IMO, done all sorts of damage. I see no valid basis for falling to my knees in worship every time you do something correctly, particularly when I pay you to do it so. To be fair, the problem roots with the taxpayers who put the same yoyos into positions of power over and over again no matter how abominably they perform their duties.

    Many problems here. For one thing, what is even meant by "efficiency"? Do I want efficient government? Methinks I don't. I want small goverment. Tiny. Vanishingly so. I've head Musk make some comments in the past that left me shaking my head. That aside, because it is "government", I refuse to trust it, save that it will serve to exercise my sphincter. No thanks. And not to beat a dead horse, but the focus is on efficiency and not size. Perhaps the latter is intended, but if so, then use the damned correct words. Pooching so much as the language you use gives me no reason for confidence here. Here's Osan's Law, riffing off of Murphy: If "government" can make things worse, it will. And really... Making yet another government department? Is there no end to the irony?

    In this book "The Myth Of Mental Illness", Dr. Thomas Szasz posited that there was no such thing as "mental illness", citing the fact that all things so labeled are actually diseases of the brain, which result in cognitive symptoms. While his arguments are compelling, I believe that he missed what may be a single exception to his thesis, constituting a special case. The case to which I refer may be broadly labeled as a brand of psychosis. Certainly there are those sorts of psychoses that are caused by problems with the brain, schizophrenia being a prime example. But there is another brand that roots not in brain malfunction, but in that which an individual comes to believe in cases where no brain infirmity can be identified. One can cite religious indoctrination, as well as that which children are taught in schools, by family, by the various media, the culture at large, and so forth. Psychosis is defined as a disconnection from reality. Psychoses are made manifest in any of a number of ways, including those that have nothing to do with brain dysfunction, but the other ways in which people come to perceive and believe things that do not prove out as being sound and true. An example of this might include the Heaven's Gate cult where people who were presumably intact in organic terms, were convinced to take their own lives for the sake of joining a "mother ship" awaiting them in orbit around the earth. If that does not qualify as psychosis, then I cannot imagine what might. The point I am attempting to convey here is that it appears to me that the adoption as true those things which may be demonstrated as false may qualify as actual mental illness. What else might we call such a condition or circumstance?

I find it amazing to consider just how hopelessly corrupt a land we are, and have been for so very long a time when I read things like this. To think not only that some people would dare usurp the authority to remove those which are the most obvious prerogatives of free men, but also that we as a people would
