The Good

In honor of Veterans Day, I would like to express my profound debt of gratitude to those soldiers, marines, sailors, & airmen who have served in America's armed forces and particularly to those who have served in combat. A special shout out to those currently stationed in places under threat of attack and to any readers of The Redneck Intellectual who have served in uniform. Thank you!

MY TRIBUTE TO A GREAT MAN, ALAN CHARLES KORS:

IF THIS WERE ACTUALLY TRUE, THEN THE “PUBLIC” WOULDN’T CONTINUE VOTING FOR POLITICIANS WHO SUPPORT EXPANDING THE SIZE AND POWER OF GOVERNMENT. Still, hope springs eternal: Public Firm in View Government Doing Too Much, Too Powerful

OUTSTANDING! Good on him: 92-year-old man hikes Grand Canyon rim-to-rim

WITHOUT IT, WE’RE DOOMED: Truth. 

BEST NEWS I’VE HEARD ALL DAY: Too Woke For Sex?

THIS IS WHAT AN INTELLECTUAL SPANKING LOOKS LIKE! Douglas Murray embarrasses Piers Morgan:

The Bad

AMERICA’S BLUE CITIES ARE FAST BECOMING THIRD WORLD (OR DYSTOPIAN INSANE ASYLUMS) IN JUST ABOUT EVERY CATEGORY. Here is partial list from the last week:

• Starbucks to close seven locations in downtown San Francisco during rampant crime surge.

• AOC’s call for higher taxes on New York’s ‘top 5%’ would hit households earning more than $250K, analysis shows. 

• Store Thefts Hit $112 Billion, No Wonder Walmart, Target Leaving Cities

• Murders, cartels, squalor: Inside ‘colony’ near Houston accused of being ‘haven for illegal aliens’.

• NYC hospitals are overwhelmed by migrants.

• New York sees a surge in tuberculosis cases amid migrant influx and Covid fatigue

WEAPONIZING GOVERNMENT (If you are a Republican or a conservative that voted for Biden in the 2020 election, you have a lot of explaining to do.):

• Govt Weaponization Part 1: DOJ Reportedly Probing Justice Barrett’s Faith Group

• Govt Weaponization Part 2: Trumper Mike Lindell Says MyPillow Facing 5 Audits

• FBI Targets Trump Followers as the 2024 Election Nears

• Hillary Clinton floats 'formal deprogramming' of Trump supporters, suggests GOP base is made of bigots

• 'We unearthed bombshell revelations': Serious IRS move against Christians

• Biden taps former Hunter law firm colleague as special counsel

• Anthony Fauci Was America’s Warmup Dictator: He institutionalized the purposeful lie, suppressed critics, mastered emergency politics, even sold himself as a sex symbol. Anthony Fauci gave the next monster a playbook.

• Four Astounding Facts You Need to Know About Your Government NOW. 

• FBI And Its Foreign Influence Task Force Purged Sources Who Were Onto Biden Corruption.

AND, OF COURSE, THE OPPOSITE OF THE WEAPONIZATION OF GOVERNMENT IS A GOVERNMENT THAT DOES NOT ENFORCE THE LAWS:

• FBI knew all about Joe and Hunter’s business dealings, laptop authenticity — and did nothing: files

• FBI Received ‘Criminal Information’ From 40+ Confidential Sources On The Biden Family.

WHAT BIDENOMICS IS DOING FOR YOU:

• Wage Growth, Hiring Plummet

• One In Eight US Households Saw Drop In Income Last Month

• #Bidenflation Killing House Buying, Mortgages Near 8%, Demand Lowest In 25 Years

• Why Americans Are So Unhappy With Biden's Economy

• Most Still See Another Depression Ahead

• New data reveals a crash not seen since Great Depression could hit in 2024

THE COUNTRY IS IN THE VERY BEST OF HANDS:

• The US military discharged over 8,000 service members who rejected the COVID-19 shot. Only 43 have rejoined.

• As Military Recruiting Numbers Dip to Record Lows, Biden’s Woke Army Works to Destroy Morale.

IDEAS HAVE CONSEQUENCES: More than a third of Dems polled believe Americans have "too much freedom"

RETURN OF THE PRIMITIVE: UN Calls for Public to Live in Mud Huts to Meet ‘Net Zero’ Goals

AND YET, THE GATED-COMMUNITY PROGRESSIVES WANT MORE AND MORE: BIDEN BORDER CRISIS ENDANGERING US ALL: 659 Known Terrorists Captured at the Border This Year Alone.

WHAT HATH POSTMODERN SOCIALISM WROUGHT? America’s financial position is so bad it’s now a national security threat.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS RACIST AND THEREFORE IMMORAL. Full stop. The “soft bigotry” looks to be getting much harder.
