No Brain

Dear Editor,

JP Morgan (USA’s largest bank) CEO Jamie Dimon recently said (The Hill July 11), “I have a lot of friends who are Democrats and they’re idiots.”  “I always say they have big hearts and little brains….Almost every single policy rolled out failed.” I too sometimes fail to think well.  Common sense and wisdom are proven right by their children.  This means in results. For over half a century Argentina tried today's Democrat Party model of major government control.  Over half the population was below the poverty line.  Out of desperation and finally trying

something different they elected Javier Milei, who has turned the economy around.  Mexico tried real socialism for over 100 years. The government owned every large company.  It cemented Mexico as a 3rd world country for over 100 years.

Echo chamber bubbles need to  be burst.  NPR is defunded finally. Hallelujah!  NPR’s CEO Katherine Maher epitomizes the problems of thinking of today’s Democrat Party.  In the past few years NPR has been forced to fire a number of executives.  Maher testified recently in Congress and Congressman  Brandon Gill read her own Tweets to her.  2 examples - “America is addicted to white supremacy.”  “America believes in black plunder and white democracy.”  More were read by Gill.  She sidestepped, denied, and stated she had a change of thinking the past few years.  NPR promoted the book In Defense of Looting.  In a TED Talk she said, “Truth sometimes gets in the way of getting things done.”  Getting to the truth is constant labor.  This is fascist thinking.  We all need the critical thinking skills of Thomas Sowell, who deserves the Medal of Freedom.

So many Democrats take fact immunity shots every day.  Uri Berliner for 25 years was a Senior Editor at NPR.  He won 4 significant awards, including a Peabody and Edward R. Murrow Award.  After getting nowhere with trying to effect change in reporting bias he went public. Instead of meeting with him to listen and address his concerns Maher suspended him without pay for a week.  I think any reasonable person would say he was treated like a child.  Instead Berliner resigned. Berliner now works for The Free Press.  He stated that every one of NPR’s Washington DC bureau editorial staff, 87 in total, was a registered Democrat.  NPR got 3 of the biggest stories wrong in recent years - the Covid origin story, the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the Russia collusion hoax story.  3 strikes.  You’re out!

I pray Democrats bust their bubbles and start listening to great thinkers like Thomas Sowell.  The Democrat Party, not Trump, has been the greatest threat to our republic and prosperity and freedoms.
