    1. Yes, I do too, but I have never heard of him. Is it a leader of a central or South American country? If someone knows, please let me know.

      1. El Salvador, (in the middle section of Central America) it had one of the highest crime rates in the world prior to him becoming President, that rate is now in western Canada’s ballpark, and there are about 60k gang members who will get out of prison in about “never”.
        a view inside one of the prisons…

        A view through some of Nayib Bukele’s X/Twitter file will show you he’s about as best as we in Canada could hope for as well.

        1. Our PrancingDictator and our MonstrousEcoKrazy enviro minister want to prevent us from having a choice of Vehicles to drive by 2035. I wish they would have a convo with this guy. He seems to have a grasp of basic economics.

    2. Literally … my HERO! Who else but a TRUE hero would step into THAT fray, with THAT solution!? And damn … I love the way he talks.

      As an aside … It’s curious that our Border Czar never made it to El Salvador and see, firsthand, in real-time … how to fix the “cause” of illegal immigration to the US

  2. Intellectuals don’t like common sense. They always default to thought systems that are enigmatic and counter-intuitive. This makes them unique thus noticeable by the gullible. Sadly it rules the day.

    2. It’s because common sense is, more or less by definition, fairly obvious. If you want to prove your intellectualism you therefore have to come up with something different, not obvious, counterintuitive. If you’re safely ensconced in an ivory tower it doesn’t even matter if it’s wrong, so long as you can come up with a reasonable sounding argument for it. Best of all, if you are surrounded by crazy Frankfurt school Marxists there, it’s very easy to argue in favour of all sorts of things that are utterly wrong and stupid – and therefore far from obvious.

  6. Thanks for sharing. I knew the story of what he had done but had never heard him speak about it. Smart man.

  7. Intellectuals also like modern art and books that only they are able to understand anything about what the “picture means” or the “book is saying”.

    The average person who has common sense knows instinctively that it is crap.

    That’s why he’s understandable. It’s called common sense.

  8. A better term for “intellectuals” today is “educated idiots”. Lots of credentials but zero common sense.

    1. I find the better term is “credentialed”. This implies the person went through the education mill and got the gold stars but it says nothing about their ability to deliver, manage or understand their responsibilities.

  9. And by “intellectuals”, he means the lying POSs whose job it is to push agendas to the detriment of the people. They use jesuitical arguments to come to the conclusion they desire, which is the opposite of where sound logic would arrive. There are no shortage of actual intellectuals who are kept out of academia, government, and “globalist” corporations because they don’t push the tenets of communism.

    But instead we have bloviating, lying, low IQ POSs like Nenshi the Hutt that our controlled media spin as being an “intellectual” when in reality he is yet another hand-selected communist faggot.

  10. I grew up in a rural area and each summer throughout high school I worked agricultural & construction jobs to earn money for college. Then when I got to college, I encountered more stupid people (students & professors) than anywhere else I had ever been. They were ignorant of rural life and blue collar work, yet they demeaned and belittled both. And these were people who literally couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if you put a gun to their head.

  11. My grandfather used that expression too, but it ended, “with the directions on the heel.”

    I often remark that the two stupidest people I ever worked for both had Ph.Ds.

  13. He sounds like he well understands the Broken Windows Fallacy.
    The intellectuals whom this guy so rightfully mocks are only looking at the effect of a policy on one group of people, namely the thieves. And how locking the thieves up will affect the thieves families.

    The same half wit intellectuals ignore the effect of thievery on all the other groups… namely all those people who don;t steal.

    “Economics in One Lesson” by Henry Hazlitt, and you too can mock pseudo intellectuals!

  14. Trudeau used a similar approach with the gang of truckers that threatened his home turf.
    The economy didn’t improve, however legal professionals there made out like bandits.

  15. This is the direction the world is moving. Everything since 2000 has been an absolute lie based on a failed ideology. Yeah, you can keep power by forming alliances with the left, Canada, U.K., France etc., but not for long.

  16. Thanks for sharing, Kate. (Its why I tune-in.)
    Can you imagine The Turd of Turdhole Dominion having a debate with President Bukele?
    Besides the economic gain, there is the societal gain that you can’t put a dollar value on.
    And less cops, attorneys and judges (parasites) and more tomato farmers has got to be good, si?

  17. Stop for a moment to think about how great it would be to have such a wise man running Canada rather than the Woke Clown now doing so [and stealing from honest Canadians by the way].

  18. It’s amazing when what amounts to common sense and sound logic, comes across as brilliance. But he really does. I think that we in Canada are about to rid ourselves of the type of government he is talking about, but it took too long and the damage may be irreversible.

    One point and this might be quibbling is…. THERE’S NO ECONOMIC HIT to removing 70,000 criminals from the economy. Other than the cost of housing them indefinitely in prison hopefully for the rest of their lives. The cost to society of the operation of these gangs is always more than the amount their general members pump back into it. Keep in mind most of those $5 “subscriptions” paid to gang members go to a centralized gang leadership. There is no school division being starved of tax revenue here.

  19. If he ever announces a visit to Canada, 338 members of parliament will all find an excuse to stay home.

  20. There is not a snowballs chance in hell for someone like the El Salvadoran to be elected in this country.
    Not even close.
    With half of the population freeloading on the back of the working people, not gonna happen.
    Just saw on the news, two women from Africa, no husbands though with babies, blaming Canada for how badly they are treated. Canadians, bad. Nobody expected them to come and live with no job, no place to live, no nothing. Though they seem to be in rather good shape.
    One may sympathize with them, though it is up to them to get on with living, nobody owes them.
    Suspect that they will be living free, free rent, free food, free doctor, for a long time, having babies and nobody to support them.
    Now that they are here in the predicament they are, what the hell can anybody do about it.

  21. “Intellectuals” – lol!

    The reason our training systems need massive financial cuts. Bloated “education” budgets ruin schooling of young people, the sniveling dolts who teach the young get it the most wrong when they confuse cynical thinking with critical thinking, besides everything else they get wrong.

  22. He has also added Bitcoin to the country’s balance sheet and made it legal tender alongside the $US.
    With Bitcoin on the balance sheet, he has easily recovered the 10% drop in GDP.
    This man has cleaned up crime on the streets and pushed off the worlds finest blackmailers and extortionists, the International Monetary Fund.
    Canada Federal Government has 1.23 Trillion dollars of debt. It matters none who the next Prime Minister wins in Canada, this is mathematically impossible to repay. The IMF is waiting in the wings to help us out. Possibly worse, Government will print more money to cash flow the interest on the debt. More currency debasement is more inflation. Inflation is going to be with us for at least a decade no matter what the government reports.
    I suggest individuals study Bitcoin, then buy Bitcoin.
    It is so important and nobody sees it.

  23. Anyone who thinks eliminating criminals would reduce the economy is stupid. The criminals don’t create any value with their work. They just take money that would already go into the economy and movie it around a bit more. Nothing is added by their actions.

  24. Intellectualism is aptly described by Bertrand Russell’s observation that “the finding of arguments for a conclusion given in advance is not philosophy, but special pleading.” Special pleading, or rationalising, is what is meant by “pseudo-intellectual drivel”. The purposes of rationalising are to seek “plausibility” and “justifications”, not the “truth”.

    Special pleading is what lawyers do. However necessary this line of argument may be in the courtroom, it is poison outside of the court. We are no longer live in a world guided by common sense. We now live in an age of lawyers. It is no wonder, that modern political institutions, which are infested with lawyers, should find themselves in such a tangled web of contradictions and deceit.

    Two plus two may equal four but you will never be able to prove it in court.

  25. “You don’t negotiate with Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer… You stop them.”

    “Within the span of two-three weeks, in 10,000 strikes, 93 percent of which originated with Israel, some 2500 individuals had been murdered in Lebanon. A quarter of the population has been displaced, under eviction notice from their Israeli overlords. Israel’s bombing of civilians has extended from the Beqaa Valley, and the city of Baalbek, into Beirut, beyond the Dahiyeh, to the ancient Phoenician cities of Tripoli and Tyre, in northern Lebanon. Did I mention a strike on Lebanon’s only airport?”

    https://www.unz.com/imercer/why-the-israel-occupied-levant-must-be-liberated-s-o-s/

    Lebanon and Toronto have roughly the same population. Imagine three quarters of the people in Toronto having to find somewhere else to live in the past month while being bombed.

    1. Unz is a filthy Jew hating scum bag. He lies all day long and his readers are dunces just like him.

      Bombing Toronto? That is not an analogy.

      Bombing The Third Reich – Yup!!!!!
