Vivek Ramaswamy states that part of the reason he became a conservative was because a "big black kid" pushed him down the stairs. Next governor of Ohio btw 😭

There are still even bigger fools out there…
Regarding Vivek, I hope Vance has learned a very valuable lesson: You don't always need to reward your "friends".

Vivek says America’s founding fathers sacrificed their honor before their lives. Little slips like this tell you a lot about a person. He’s always comparing himself to America’s founding fathers because that is how he would behave in their shoes (if he actually wore any). America’s founding fathers risked their lives for their honor, not their honor for their lives. Their way of life is totally foreign to someone like Ramaswamy, who will do and say literally anything to get ahead.
Our Founding Fathers fought a revolution so we could enjoy the blessings of liberty. All we have to do is to show up & vote to preserve it. 🇺🇸

Homosexuals being with minors is news?
Lindsey Graham was routinely hiring male sex workers while handling extremely sensitive national security material. Including a minor, whose story is detailed here for the first time. Meanwhile, his sister Darline runs on his name while campaigning on anti-LGBT rhetoric.

The smell must have been crazy 😭
Gov. Candidate @VivekGRamaswamy (R-OH) says when he tried to greet opponent Amy Acton (D) at an event where he had also greeted Sherrod Brown (D) "Her entire team was prepared for it, they flanked her, put a circle around here...blocks me...that's not America."

We still do this 😬
The kids have gone soft. Back in my day, we started writing our 2,500-word papers at 10:00 PM the night before it was due, stayed up writing until 6:30 AM, then submitted them in class at 8:00 AM.

A Bolsonaro victory would make a key part of my Sixth Island Chain far more feasible. LatAm would move much closer toward a consolidated, Washington-aligned strategic bloc. Brazil would be the biggest shift yet, which would open the door to much deeper US access and cooperation.
Honored to have my article proposing a Sixth Island Chain published by DARC. Learn how the concept could cut China off from South America and West Africa, guard key sea lanes and chokepoints, insulate the Atlantic, and permanently change Beijing’s strategic calculus.

I didn’t like the movie but this contrast is obviously made in the movie between Digger and his nephew Kenny. There’s a reason Digger (billionaire of the past) acts like a cowboy throughout.
One reason Digger falls flat is “Zany Oil tycoon” (Getty, Hughes, Pickens) is a 20th century trope. They’re all gone. We’re in the Tech/Space Tycoon era now. Digger Rockwell is a parody of a parody of something that hasn’t existed in fifty years.

The parallel to Stone Phillips bringing the "whale" (or monster) in Saddam Hussein to the public on television and delivering judgement is done early on in the movie.
…except the first half of the film literally portrays him as a self-obsessed neurotic who chases ratings. Then the script flips half-way through for the movie because it entertains spooky subplot about a pedophile ghost from India.
