Common sense is gone?

This gentleman makes a strong case for the notion that people no longer understand how to act in public.

Charlie Kirk, future president?

I would not be opposed to a future Charlie Kirk presidency.  This is not just common sense it's explained in such indisputable and simple terms.

Dear President Trump

Forget Washington D.C., capitalize Canada, please. There are a lot of good people here; people with common sense. But then there's also this plethora of issues. There's a lot in here and it's all emblematic of how insane Canada has become.

Canadian voters are idiots

President Trump made himself the boogeyman in the last Canadian election.  What did voters do? Vote for the same party that has decimated our economy. Why? Fear. Actually fear combined with sheer stupidity. We have a long way to go to catch up with Americans as far as common sense goes.

Admit it didn't work, and move on

This is what the global elite need to do. Do you think they will, or will they continue doubling down on their failed efforts? Spoiler - it's the latter. They do it with everything: the debt ceiling, DEI, and even apparently with Jeffrey Epstein.  Why would, in this case, the European global elite change their Modus Operendi of shoving their agenda down people's throats and then blaming the victims for the problem?

No surprise at all on the  global elites' on the approach.  What surprises me about all of this is three different questions I have: (1) Why didn't the global elite anticipate the response from people in response? (2) Why is the backlash finally happening now? and (3) Is this really the only play the global elite have thought out?

Here are my suspicions on the answers to those questions. (1) They did anticipate a pushback but they don't care because the agenda dictates going forward regardless. That begs the question "What is the ultimate goal of this agenda?" That I cannot fathom because there are no good outcomes from forced multiculturalism, forced ignore Epstein, etc. 

(2) This one is curious. A lot of people knew these policies were not going to end well, but did nothing; cowed into submission by ad hominem attacks of racism. But how did it get to the point where that no longer makes a difference? It could be because crime and economic reality have gotten so bad, there is no alternative but to rise up against these horribly thought out (or deliberately evil) policies. The thing I find ironic is that it is happening across the West at an approximately equal pace. MAGA, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Eastern Europe are all pushing towards more conservative policies. 

That could be as a result of natural pendulum swings politically over time but the pendulums in various nations seem to be synching up. Surely it is rather a result of a manmade interference in the natural flow of these societies. It's no mere coincidence that Western nations had started the DEI and unfettered immigration policies around a similar time frame as well. Perhaps it is only logical that the pushbacks would happen in relatively similar timeframes as well.

(3) The global elite may be rich and powerful, but they are no smarter than the rest of us and in fact, possible not as smart as common sense folk, having lived so detached from reality in their wealth, opulence and decadence.  Yet they are in charge. Ironic.

Arnold Schwarzenegger still has some common sense

At least, when compared to the The Shrew View.

The left continues to eat itself

They have gone so far off the rails that the more they try to do as propaganda, the more they anger themselves and turn against themselves. We all knew this was unsustainable, now that they are starting to turn on themselves, maybe some of them will come over to the side of common sense. The dwarves are going after Snow White now; only in La-La-Left Land.

My fellow Canadians

Yes, I'm Canadian.  Yes, I'm pro-Trump. But I'm even more a conservative and anti-leftist.  Here's a well thought out argument as to why Canada needs to get back to common sense:

Common sense defeats climate activism

The activist refuses to recognize reality. And that's really the problem, isn't it? They claim we don't recognize their 'reality', and they are clearly committed to zero compromise. In that case the backlash will be doubly strong.  It's especially so when the science really isn't on their side. Common sense prevails.

Accountant Explains: Kamala's Most RADICAL Financial Policies

For those who vote based on TDS rather than common sense, please watch this accountant take apart some of Kamala Harris' radical policy proposals. 

"Extremely rare" (for now)

As I mentioned regarding France, the center and the left will stop at nothing to hold or seize power. They are sometimes overt and sometime insidious about it but the leftward drift or occasional lurch is unabating. This is what we are up against as believers in common sense, and as in the case of the conservative party in the U.K., complacency or a leftward drift within, are no longer acceptable ways of dealing with it:

Meanwhile in the Netherlands

Common sense has gotten maybe not a foothold but a least a toehold in the the Netherlands.  There are a lot of details here, including quite a few concessions  But the Netherlands have moved so far left that this represents the beginning steps in the right direction.

Why does this matter?  Any movement in Europe towards common sense is a sign that Western societies are moving in the right direction.  The Netherlands might be a microcosm of the net presidential election in the United States, just as the Brexit vote in 2016 was a precursor of the then coming Trump surprise win.

Giorgia Meloni's based approached to Italian governance

It's awesome to see governments and people in Europe move right. In the case of Italy, their current Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is doing a fantastic job leading the country back towards common sense governance.

Bill Maher agrees with me on Gaza?

I'm not proud of it, but Bill Maher seems to be on the side of common sense here, matching what I was previously pointing out about pro-Palestinian Gaza protests university campuses:

Poland moving back to common sense

Polish farmers intensify protests against E.U. and their pro-EU Polish government.  They aren't alone in Europe:

It's not ALL craziness at the WEF meeting in Davos

Despite the constant barrage of lunacy, there is also a glimmer of common sense in the form of Javier Milei coming out of the WEF meeting in Davos.

Watch Canadian media's panicked reaction to calm common sense

CityTV is a far left Toronto television station, one of the worst in Canada, and this panel response to Pierre Poilievre's legitimate response to a reporter trying to pin something unjustly on him, shows how much of a panic the leftist media in Canada has gotten with Justin Trudeau's free-fall in polling.  People are fed up with Trudeau (finally), but also they are starting to question the media; something the media is not going to take lying down obviously.

The Canadian media has been aggressively leftist for decades. This responses shows out their true colors, is truly awful and totally misses the point.  They are lying to their audience and frankly to themselves. They are tone deaf, delusional and they have been excusing Trudeau for far, FAR worse than this pointed, intelligent and entirely reasonable response.

Meanwhile in Argentina

Argentina is just the latest country to elect for president someone the media would dismiss as a far right radical.  Except if 55% of the country voted for the guy, maybe far-right isn't the correct term.  I think it falls into the Princess Bride category of "you keep using this word.  I do not think it means what you think it means."   The correct term would be populist, or maybe 'common sense candidate'.

Here's a fun take:

Iranians at the southern border? That checks

Iranians trying to illegally enter the United States through the open southern border, potentially (likely) with terrorism on their minds. That checks. Who knew that might happen? Well to start, president Trump, oh, and also pretty much everyone with common sense.

A reaction video and common sense

The reaction video for Oliver Anthony is good but I'm more impressed with this young lady's common sense.
