That’s pretty much it. Make good choices and you can succeed. Make bad ones, and you likely fail. It’s not rocket science.
Here’s a question: What is the Left’s argument for not building the wall? I ask because I get the argument for building it, but can’t understand why the Left is willing to fall on their sword over $5B — a relatively small amount in the grand scheme of things. Why *not* build the wall? (Note, too, that a wall already exists…..)
I am an admirer of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
I don’t care that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a dancing video in high school. Who didn’t do silly, fun stuff in high school? I wore a toy fireman’s hat with a siren on the top and turned it on every time our hockey team scored a goal. Big deal.
Now having said that, I think AOC is not a particularly bright person, and I think that she needs to do more homework before opening her mouth. And I think that her claim that fact-checking her is somehow not appropriate is childish and ridiculous.
What does it say about the Left that it views citizens as actors purely in service to the State? It seems to me that the Left views it as my role — shoot, my duty — to pay taxes so that they can dole out those tax dollars as they see fit. If I say “I don’t want to pay for <some ridiculous government program that is a pet project of the left>”, then they tell me that paying for it is part of the social contract. If I say “Private entities should take care of <some social problem>” then they strongly deny that such a thing would ever work. What to make of that?
