Libertarians talk Psychology

How is it possible that our world has gotten so crazy and impossible to understand. Maybe the driving force is fear. We humans can tolerate almost anything if we think we are taking care of some emergency. The problem is, our leaders seem to take advantage of this situation.

Tucker Carlson made a convincing case for the legitimacy of recent unidentified flying objects. We can now accept that they are more real than Bigfoot, Loch Ness monster, or ghosts.

It is understandable for the victim side to go apeshit crazy on aggressors, provided the victim side does not kill innocent citizens.

A POTP podcast excerpt has Vivek Ramaswamy and Dave Smith discussing the after effects of 911.

We can see by now that when companies make a social statement it might be bad for business. However, Ben and Jerrys has brought up a new topic, no matter how silly from a business standpoint.

At least we can now see that the deep state really does exist!
