She didn’t get everything right, but she did get a lot right. And this is one case where she got it right.

It would take a while for me to dig it up, but Hunter S.Thompson had some similar remarks in the early’60s, I believe.

I’ve never been disappointed in anything she wrote...Atlas Shrugged, Fountainhead, Virtue of Selfishness, Anthem, and all the rest.

A truly fascinating mind, and a truly fascinating philosophy.

We finally have the answer to the age-old question “Who is John Galt?”

John Galt is Donald J. Trump.

I worked with journalist majors in high school and college.

Was on papers and served in editor positions. Was News page editor. I was the News page editor, and got it drilled correctly into me what a proper news story is versus a feature story, or an editorial piece.

Everyone in college, especially the girls, were in journalism “to make a difference”. That’s your problem in journalism today right there. That meant pushing an agenda, a liberal agenda. That meant bolstering liberal politicans and groups, and targeting and trying to deliberately “take down” those politicians and groups that weren’t.

No its gone far past what Rand was speaking of.

The Fake Journalists today just make up full blown lies and endlessly regurgitate them and quote other journalist liars to amplify their ‘evidence’.

Betrayers such as these fake-journalists will be facing retribution appropriate to their crime.

The left still wins for destroying an important American Institution — which will take a decade to restore even after the leftist are driven out with rocks and sticks by the citizens they have betrayed.

I’ve heard it said before that the definition of “news” is whatever it is they don’t want you to print.

Pretty close.
