Steven J. Manning: on my mind…
Socialism and the stupid
How uneducated, limited, and stupid can you be? An astounding 55% of college students have zero clue what Socialism is. Yet, over 50% assert that Socialism is preferred to the dastardly capitalism of the US. 90% of college professors who assert to be liberal, love Socialism. Alas... The privilege of the worst disease ever beset on heretofore “higher education”: tenure! Just as another astounding aside, 57% of liberal identifying students...
Supply chain what?
The one Biden said last week that he fixed in April... I opine the Biden regime needs to get out a bit more. See “stuff” for themselves. I further opine that all those “reports” read by Biden and crew, those the regime foolishly parrots AND alarmingly relies on, need at least a minimal edit by an average college junior econ. major. Wondering: does anybody know who the low-ranked pukes are who write that balderdash? We know who does not read...
The Righteous AT&T and the KKK…
Not so many years ago, AT&T along with GM and very few other of the behemoths were the most frequently taught models of corporate governance in many/most top MBA programs in the country. AT&T served millions of businesses in what was then their core telephone business. An AT&T customer, my company’s international business chewed up a fair bit of telephone dollars; a significant expenditure for us. In the grand scheme of AT&T’s...
A Chat With The COVID Virus
Yo, COVID virus! Got a minute? Mind if I remove my 17¢ life-saving blue paper mask so that I can better “see” you and “hear” you? Oh. OK. You could care less... Question for you: can you like jump out of an open window of a moving car and bite me when I am walking on a sidewalk? ‘Cause, you see, I see soooo many people walking, alone, on sidewalks all over the country wearing those Fauci-clown things on their faces. Just yesterday, midday, I...
The Fourth Reich (China) And NIKE
Yes! The Fourth Reich: the PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA. And one of its elite enablers: NIKE. Setting this up, an acquaintance of many years asked me why in my book, Pimps Whores And Patrons Of Virtue I wrote about NIKE with loathing, and without explanation. He fancies himself as a genuine intellectual and uber informed. On reflection, his claims are absurd and pathetic, respectively. Allowing myself the conceit of truth: I am not a racist, do...
The Sublime Arrogance Of Power
Clearly in the new United Socialist States Of America, that is the clear path to FAILING UP! What say you?
This Is Not Your Parents U.S.A. Nor Yours As You Want To Remember It!
This Is Not Your Parents U.S.A. Nor Yours As You Want To Remember It! Satire, humor, wit, in fact, free speech GONE! Watching and listening to the President and his hapless paid hacks (his cabinet, with special mention to his press secretary), I am really impressed with the degree of their unfounded and shameless pride. Perhaps I should not be putting Biden in that company. He is alarmingly and sadly pathetic, and entirely absent. Mostly...
On Social Media … Or Explaining Bitcoin To Buddhist Monks
Some argue that the wheels on much of human intellect fell off with the advent of Social Media. It is likely a more successful argument that the big Social Media dogs created, operate, fuel and have empowered beyond comprehension, mostly sophomoric outlets that have cheapened and inexorably altered the social fabric. Most pretense of thoughtful, reasonable, informed and civil discourse has by and large been destroyed. It is as frightening as it...
My one year old child might have been a tax cheat!
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen makes clear the coming invasion! Astoundingly, Yellen “cleared up” the proposed reporting by banks to the IRS of all transactions over $600. Nah. That would have been just the most invasive assault in history on the rights and privacy of just about all Americans. Not good enough. Yellen, a barely functioning socialism sycophant, explained that our new totalitarian masters want banks (and your credit unions – can...
Compared To What
Compared To What... The wisdom of Les McCann and Eddie Harris: where we are today -- written in 1969! Some genuine surprises come from the most unlikely Nostradamus’s around. This from jazz musicians Les McCann and Eddie Harris who wrote and performed this song about WHERE OUR COUNTRY WAS in 1969. How relevant today! The Compared To What lyrics are most interesting. Remember: 1969 by two jazz musicians... Lyrics follow below. It is really...
