Kurt Schlichter, attorney, retired Army colonel, sharp guy:

The libs tried giving people money. That failed. Astonishingly, handing people free cash does not magically make things better. Then they tried improving the economies in these places by importing a bunch of foreigners to take all the entry level jobs. Astonishingly, that did not work either. Their current experiment is to make the cities woker by not arresting criminals who make the cities unlivable and releasing the few who are in jail. And – you are not going to believe this – that has also made things worse.

Biden’s program involves massive government spending and intrusion into even more aspects of our daily  lives. But to progressives like the LA Times, it strengthens “democracy.” American progressives define democracy the same way the Soviet Union did: big government.

The Soviets claimed they had more democracy than America did. Every government bureaucrat’s title included the word “people’s.” So they had the People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs, which just happened to be the secret police. There, is that democratic enough for you? We’re not there yet, but we’re on our way.
