His successor is worse. How long do you intend to mock us, Catiline? We'll mock him right back. "The president's claims are bunk bordering on carelessness. His policies, I am afraid, deserve even harsher words." Such as: Energy and immigration tell the tale. Such as: Democrats have a crime problem.
The weekly round-up of pithy elaborations on traditional Cold Spring Shops themes follows.
1. Evolutionary advantage is real. "[O]ld-fashioned stuff is still incredibly applicable." Yes, and "normal people would benefit from hearing them from a more normal source." So stop deplorable-shaming the Normals?
2. Democracy is too fragile to be entrusted to voters. "From this perspective, it is the very act of casting a vote that threatens democracy."
3. Particularly when the voters don't vote the way the Anointed want. "Meloni, Orban, and their co-religionists are biding their time as they build power at the national and European levels."
4. Is voting the advance auction of stolen goods? "The decision to grant privileges to businesses rests exclusively in the hands of government officials."
5. Dueling dystopias? "[T]he parties vie to outdo each other in describing the hellscape that lies ahead if the other side wins."
6. It's. For. Your. Own. Good. "I am going to use whatever means necessary to stop you, okay? And that's for your safety."
7. Intelligent design is also For Your Own Good. "Choosing traffic flow over human lives is a design choice. And that design choice led to a death."
8. Common sense is now racist? "[I]n Iowa, America still works." Yes, an out-of-touch, closed-mind editorial board at Des Moines's Register wet themselves.
9. Environmentalist wackos. "What they tell us is 'green' and 'sustainable' is poisoning the earth."
10. Liberals are miserable. "The only thing that appears to bring them joy is making everyone else as miserable as they are."
11. Yep. "To understand what’s happening, it’s best not to think of this as a Biden Presidency, but a Biden Regency."
12. Indoctrinated, not educated. "I’m not sure. I don’t know the specifics." See also "Don't feel, think!"
13. Reality bats last. "Big city districts that were disproportionately closed and adopted more stringent COVID restrictions have faced the largest enrollment drops, suffered the worst learning loss, and seen the most unequal results among racial and socioeconomic groups."
14. Pour a ton of steel with a participation trophy. "If higher education does not reverse the quiet quitting trend on campus, it will stop producing the ‘other people’ to do the hard work for the laziest among us."
15. Conduct a diagnosis with a participation trophy. "We aren't going to end up with good doctors by letting undergrad pre-meds pass organic chem because universities want to protect their US News rankings."
16. Just award yourself a participation trophy. "Applauding themselves for being ‘progressive’ – even cutting-edge – and ‘caring,’ these individuals in fact reveal themselves to be infantile."
17. Paid lackeys, without character or knowledge. "The people who are responsible for shaping the public mind end up as the most craven class of obsequious simps on the planet earth. We want these people to be brave and independent — we need them to be — but in practice they are the complete opposite. "
18. Good. "Brightline officials said in a Tuesday statement that the trains will be traveling at maximum speeds of 110 mph in both Martin and St. Lucie counties the week of Oct. 17."
