JOHN A. KONRAD: Inside, they had a young American kid right out of high school. I had to load my own battery, but this kid was a whiz. He flew through the inventory, explaining the lead-acid surface area in each option and why it mattered.

Stopped at a small auto parts store yesterday. For the last few years they had migrant workers behind the counter. Nice guys. Competent at pulling parts from the warehouse and would go out of their way to help you loading heavy stuff like batteries into your car. But ask a question and you got a blank look. ICE cleared them out. The store hired stoners. The place became a dump, and I started driving an hour to AutoZone whenever I needed something. Yesterday I just needed a battery. As I pulled up I noticed the parking lot was unusually full. Inside, they had a young American kid right out of high school. I had to load my own battery, but this kid was a whiz. He flew through the inventory, explaining the lead-acid surface area in each option and why it mattered. I stuck around while he helped another customer diagnose a carburetor problem. I learned more in five minutes than I would have spending two hour on youtube. Then he started figuring out which replacement air filter the customer needed using basic geometry. I don’t know how much additional revenue this kid brought into the store, but it has to be substantial. And he wasn’t alone. They had an older Black gentleman working with him who, I’m told, had run a warehouse for a large repair shop or something in New York City before he got laid off. Slow but methodical and oozed competence. The store recruited him out of retirement, brought him up to our rural area part-time to organize inventory, fix the shelves, and scout local talent. I felt like I was watching a dynamic duo at work. Then nostalgia hit me hard. THIS is what it was like going to an auto parts store with my dad in the late 80s and early 90s. Everything well organized. People who knew cars cold. To be honest, the guys back then weren’t exactly nice, at least not in New York. They roasted you. But they helped. And it wasn’t just auto parts stores back then. Plumbing stores. Boating stores. Stereo shops. I remember going into Manhattan as a kid to a block of nautical shops, stores that sold charts and sextants, where a retired ship captain like I am now explained to me how a chronometer works. I want that job! The nation is healing!

The 5 Most Dangerous Accusations in Modern Politics

5. Misinformed.

4.  Unsafe.

3.  Hatred. 

2.  Extremist

1.   Bigot.

What are the 5 most dangerous accusations in politics? Have you ever noticed that some words can end a conversation before it ever begins and not because they prove anything.  Not because they refute an argument but because the moment that they're used everyone stops looking at the claim and starts looking at the person making the claim.

These are the 5 most dangerous accusations in politics, and once you see the pattern you'll never unsee it.  

#5:  Misinformed.  Misinformed sounds harmless after all people can be wrong. People can be misinformed but notice what happens when this accusation is used instead of asking is that claim true the conversation becomes you've been misled so the focus shifts from evidence to the person and sometimes the accusation is correct but sometimes it's just a shortcut that allows people to dismiss an argument without actually engaging with it.

#4:  Unsafe.  This word becomes incredibly powerful because safety is something everyone values nobody wants people to be harmed but unsafe is often used in ways that go far beyond physical danger.  A Viewpoint can be called unsafe a question can be called unsafe a discussion can be called unsafe and once something is framed as a threat to safety people asking whether the concern. The word itself does all the work.  

#3:  Hateful.  And this is where things get interesting because hatred certainly exists but disagreement and hatred are not the same thing I've said that in so many videos criticism and hatred are not the same thing concern and hatred are not the same thing yet political arguments often blur these distinctions and when they do people stop examining the argument itself because they're examining the character of the person speaking.  

#2:  Extremist.  Extremist is one of the most effective accusations because it has no fixed location.  What is considered extreme changes depending on the time, the culture, and the audience.  Many views once considered mainstream later became extreme.  So if someone is called an extremist, the important question isn't "Is that person extreme?"  The important question is "compared to what"?. 

#1:  Bigot.  This might be the most powerful accusation in modern politics because unlike most criticisms it doesn't really say you're wrong, it says your motives are wrong.  It says your character is wrong.  It says there's something morally defective about you and once someone has been labeled a bigot many people feel no obligation to answer their argument at all.  The label becomes the answer.  I get this comment on so many of my videos.  Bigot without engaging with my argument and so here's the important part.  I'm not saying these accusations are never true.  Sometimes people are misinformed. Sometimes people are hateful.  Sometimes people are extremists.  Sometimes people really are bigots.  The problem is what happens when the accusation replaces the argument because none of these words tell you whether a claim is true.  They tell you what to think about the person making the claim. And if you want to think clearly in the political world, that's the habit to watch for whenever you hear one of these accusations don't just ask is that person bad ask did anyone actually answer the argument that's the question that changes everything.

Bovino & Branca: How to Win America’s Existential War for Survival!


16:19. One of the weird practices, too, it's a weird incentive for the illegals, is if they get nabbed at the border, they're subject to mandatory detention.  But if they get nabbed inside the country, the judges would just release them.  They'd say, "Oh he's already living here.  He's got a family here.  He works here," and so once you're in . . . so you get nabbed inside the country.  They give you a court date, three or four years from now.  You never show up to the court date and this just happens [repeatedly].  So even when there is enforcement it doesn't have any effect. 

No effect, exactly.  Who's going to show up when there is 90 million illegal aliens and you got the court system so clogged up with folks that are supposed to show up as you say 2, 3, 4 years down the road after your apprehended because there's no consequence and I'll tell you it's when we call and I tell you it's when we call and we talk about lawfare, there's a particular instance of lawfare that has clogged our courts up and made it so very difficult to remove some of those individuals in the interior when we started nabbing them on the streets we were able to remove 90 to 95% of those immediately straight to whatever country they came from so much easier doing it that way than a targeted enforcement effort a work site enforcement or something like that
