That's good. Seems like everyone was shilling the vax back in the day. You can barely find people who didn't give in where I live.

Yes to the first part, no to the last.

The Shia mullahs in Iran are actually moderate compared to a lot of other factions. The Salafi and Wahhabi schools are way more intense with their practices.

It's true that Iran is the greatest threat to Israel at the moment, mostly because we took out all their other enemies over the years.

Her covers are nice for people who aren't the biggest fans of modern country. It's a bit nicer I think.

It's also good for guys with male pattern baldness. A lot of the men in my family started losing their hair early so I've been using it as a preemptive measure lol.

Meritocracy only breeds jealousy in those that are unwilling to better themselves.

It also breeds a different kind of jealousy for those on top, in the sense of being "fiercely protective of one's rights or possessions."

Our elites truly believe they're better than everyone else and have no responsibility towards the people they rule over. Since "they earned it" their power is all about them, not the people it actually has consequences for. Political leaders used to have a name to defend and a sense of honor and duty to their ancestors and descendants. In an individualist society, this goes out the window 99% of the time.

President Trump is almost like a God in the classical Roman sense.

What I mean by that is, he's a living symbol. He embodies an idea the same way Uncle Sam and Santa Claus do, except he's also a living person capable of intervening in history.

When he went down the escalator in his golden tower it really felt like a higher force was coming down to dwell among us to be our leader. That's why people love him so much. There's a supra-mundane aura about him.

My theory is she has an eye problem keeping her out of the spotlight. Made a post about it.

True but she hasn't been seen without them this year and she only used to wear them on certain occasions

She's spoken at every other convention. I don't think she'd be missing it without a good reason.

They do have a connection. Vance and Blake Masters were pretty much hand selected by Theil for better or worse. The Theil network has a connection to Claremont and the Straussian school. Theil wrote an essay called "The Straussian Moment" that explains his worldview.

Link to Theil's essay

He also has a pretty interesting background going from writing a book to the Senate to the Vide Presidency. His political background is all relatively new and he's seen as someone with ideas.
