From Kurt Schlichter:
“Quick, everybody care what a bunch of impotent, fussy foreigners think about us! No, really, we should give a damn that some herring-gobbling fjord jockey is mad about Donald Trump. Yeah, Norwegians totally matter. But not really. No foreigner matters. Not Canadians, not the English, not the Arabs (especially of the nonexistent Palestinian variety), not the Papua/New Guineans. Here’s the reality. Most foreigners are trash. Most people who aren’t Americans suck. And treacherous Americans who presume to leverage the puny outrage of second-rate cultures against ours deserve our contempt and mockery almost as much as the foreigners themselves. They think we’re dumb, New World rubes with too much in the way of guns, calories, and Jesus.
“In contrast, we barely think of them at all.”
And that’s only the beginning of his most excellent rant. Read it all, and chortle.
Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m cut differently.
I’ve just never really cared what anybody thinks about anything at all, especially what they think about me.
I mean seriously, everybody has baggage, so why is someone elses baggage my problem? It ain’t. fuk-em-ded
Schlichter is on my always read lists, right after you, Kim. He’s consistently excellent, but this one was one of his best. I’ve been praying that Trump get him in the cabinet somehow.
My impossible dream was for you to become Trump’s press secretary, but actually Karoline Leavitt is doing a fine job and, well, she’s easier on the eyes. I do with Trump could find a spot for Kurt, though. When Steven Miller is busy or traveling or something, maybe Kurt could handle some of his press beat downs. They’d be as epic as Miller’s, but way funnier. Lol
Oh, and may I flog Schlichter’s outstanding book once more. You really should read this.
It’s a novel about Civil War II, but not told in typical chronological order. Instead it is a series of interviews by a journalist with people on both sides of the conflict talking about it after the fact. It is truly outstanding, and becomes more relevant every day.

Schlicter’s The Attack was written a couple of years ago, and in a sense precedes American Apocalypse.

Gold star on the above link. It reminds me of the stuff PJ O’Rourke used to write before he lost his fastball and cozied up to the DC political set.
Sadly we have the same cowardice here in the states, “Hey there’s smart people working for the (.gov, corporate leadership, you name it).” But there really isn’t.
It’s spelled Schlichter. Two Hs, no K.
well, as Americans we haven’t cared about the opinions of the British since 19 April 1775. That’s a really good start.
Europe gave us some good ideas from FA Hayek, Rouseau, Locke, Biastat, etc and some good food, art and music, science but America took all of those and made them all much, much better
