Common Sense is a Very Valuable Commodity: It Trumps the Academics/Elites EVERY Time
Listen to Reality-Impaired Fauci Get Schooled by a Young D.C. Dad
Listen to a young black dude in D.C. giving Fauci an earful of common sense. The clip above should start at 5:02. You only need a minute or two for the good bit. Fauci is a real dumb-ass bureaucrat/academic who has killed 100s of thousands (maybe millions) of young people through vaccine injuries. YOUNG PEOPLE WERE NEVER AT RISK FROM COVID. And that was known VERY early on. For example, remember when we were hearing horrible death tolls from Italy early in 2020? Do you know what the average age of those that died?? 79.5 years old. Almost no one under 50 yo died of Covid at that time and only then with other co-morbidities.
In my post They Don't Even Know From Where Their Food Comes, I make the point that government or academic-types can live all their lives being wrong about everything and NEVER have to face any consequences. We’re seeing that in spades now as these NGO-types, Economists, Professors, Career Politicians, Think tanks, Academics, Gov’t bureaucrats can be and usually so wrong and full of shit that they are literally living in an inverted reality.1
The rest of us plebians don’t have that luxury. People that live in the real world, doing real and, productive work, raise a family, save money for retirement are blessed with something that the political Left, Academics and Government-types don’t have: COMMON SENSE, or also said “HORSE SENSE.”
I said in They Don't Even Know From Where Their Food Comes, the following:
Funny thing about doing “real, productive work” in smaller communities, it causes/forces you to intimately interact with reality directly and repeatedly —often for your entire life. And reality is a tough broad. She’s a harsh teacher. You’re immediately disabused of any thought that is NOT based in reality. This is the origin of wisdom and common sense. Some use the term “horse sense.” It doesn’t come from a lifetime in academia or government.
These are among the strengths of the supposedly “unsophisticated flyover” people who are belittled and hated by the undeservedly wealthy in the big ”money center” cities on both coasts or who inhabit the Clinton Archipelago.
The Clintonistas hate the “little people,” because horse sense trumps their highly vaunted academic “learning” nearly every time. The people with horse sense (Conservative types, Trump sympathizers) are nearly always right because they are reality-based and have wisdom through experience, ie., common sense.
Conservative persons are basically correct all the time in their assessment of events. It also shows that academia harms the rise of common sense or horse sense, especially career academics/bureaucrats. And Trump supporters can smell a crock of shit a mile away. They mostly get it right. See my post How Trump Voters Formed an Ugly—and Accurate—View of America’s Ruling Regime.
The Left doesn’t get it. They’re always wrong and they hate the fly-over bumpkins, the Trump sympathizers and detest their horse-sense or common sense. They accuse Trumpers of having unfounded conspiracy theories and scoff at those spreading “misinformation.” But these “conspiracy theories,” based on intuition and common sense, turn out to be true nearly all the time.
My dad grew up in the Great Depression and never advanced past 6th grade. He could read well but his handwriting was a little primitive. He worked as a union shop Electrician in South Florida during all those boom decades. He told me that him and his buddies would sleep on the beach where there are now nothing but hotels and condos lining the beach. There was hardly anyone or anything there in the 1920s.
Funny thing about my dad, Woodrow (or Woody), he was right and correct about EVERYTHING. Over time, I realized that everything he told me was entirely correct. The one thing that I still disagree with him is he believed the Moon Landing was staged. But let me tell you, since he was correct about everything, maybe he was correct about that too!!
One time I asked him to name a president that he admired. (This was during the Reagan years.) He said “Harry Truman.” Many years later, I did some research on Harry Truman. My father was ENTIRELY right. Harry Truman was a true man of the people, modest, honest, of humble origins. After his presidency, Harry Truman drove himself and Bess back to Independence MS in their station wagon: no secret service (they didn’t have that yet), no salary or pension and he lived with Bess in his mother-in-law’s home.
Mr. Truman was so principled that he refused to cash-in on his Presidential fame that he became impoverished. When he retired he lived off his pension from the Army. a retirement pension of $112.56 a month. Congress passed the Former Presidents Act of 1958 which was implemented to prevent former presidents from having to sell their names and the presidency to live comfortably. Truman believed that he "could never lend himself to any transaction, however respectable, that would commercialize on the prestige and dignity of the office of the presidency."
Truman really was a true man. He had Horse Sense. Thanks pop for trying to help me—even though I wasn’t quite ready to hear your horse sense in my 20s, but you were correct about everything.
Here’s some advice: Don’t send your kids to college! Most colleges and universities have been hijacked by hard-core Leftists and they continue to indoctrinate our young people with their utter bullshit and tripe. Tuition and book prices have vastly, vastly inflated thanks to US Govt student loans. A degree may not make sense. Instead, take only courses that you need, like accounting courses if you want to get into business. Don’t even take electives! And as you’re doing your course work, make contacts with prospective employers and tell them that you’d be interested in a paid internship. Arrange that ahead of time if possible.
