#5747: Spoken like someone who has never made a damned thing in his life but trouble.

Bill Kristol is who I'm talking about, being critical of the Trump administration because they're promoting American-made things:
Maybe it's just me, but I find something off-putting about turning the White House into an exhibition hall for American tchotchkes.
...because of course those stupid American idiots in flyover country are so useless and stupid they couldn't find their asses with both hands and a flashlight, much less make anything useful.

No. Actually, it's Bill Kristol who doesn't know how to do anything useful at all. In the world where being able to do things matters more than anything, he'd be useless baggage. Let's see Bill Kristol machine a crankshaft or wire a three-phase motor or frame a house. He's never done anything useful in his life; all he's ever done is write horseshit. And all he can do is sneer at people who can do useful things.

What a frickin' twat.

Speaking of useless frickin' twats, black woman vandalizing ancient Greek monuments. How much you want to bet she's a muslim?

Either a muslim or an American leftist.

Carriers are how we project power. Their capabilities are eroding. Wow.

Today marks the 48th anniversary of Man on the Moon.

No one's gone back since Apollo 17, in 1972. We first got there in 1969; we last went there in 1972. And it's been 45 years since Man was on the Moon.

I'm just saying this for the sake of perspective. Man was an interplanetary species for four years. And as things stand right now, we can't go back.

We had the capacity to go to other worlds, and we pissed it away.
