Biden cheated. I don’t need to read this nonsense to know that.

In yesterday's speech Plugs said not once,but twice,that his policies will result in "three hundred Americans" being vaccinated. Yet every news outlet reported that he said "three hundred million".

I think that that could qualify as "deconstruction".Or maybe downright lying.

I just thought it was manipulated voting machines, fake ballots and dead people that got Walter the dummy, elected.

It is a good article.

It shows how the population has been dumbed down.

I was taught much of this in high school, but logic used to be taught generally.

When you have a stoopid population they can be lied to with ease.

My mom used to say when it comes to politicians “Watch what they do, not what they say”

The Democrats are saying that it was a legal election and Joe Biden got almost 82 million votes, devastating Trump by 8 million votes. That’s what they say.

Yet, they are trying desperately to prevent Trump from ever running again... That’s is what they are doing and they will tell you so. Why do they fear him getting back into office if they won by so many votes?

The answer is simple, the actions don’t match what they are saying. The actions tell you that they know they cheated, and they are scarred that they can’t do it again, so Donald Trump must be dis-allowed from running again because they won’t be able to stop him.

When it comes to politicians, actions speak louder than words. Democrats actions tell you they know they cheated, that they may not be able to do it again, so they have to prevent Trump from running again.

I would have never, in my wildest dreams, thought the movie Idiocracy, was prophetic.

Just wondering when the ‘Miss Me Yet’ paraphernalia will arrive at the scene with Trumps picture.

“How the Destruction of Grammar and Logic Got Biden into the Oval Office”

Grammar and logic didn’t get Biden into office. Midnight ballot dumps and outright vote changing via software did.

They stole it and now trying to justify it. Anyone with half a brain knows it was voter fraud in the 5 battleground states.

This in-depth article makes interesting points and I need to read it again to get the author’s full thesis, I’m sure. I did not see him point out what I believe to be obvious about the ancient Greek concept of the Trivium (Logic, Grammar, Rhetoric) is that one does not stand without the support of the other two. Using rhetoric as a cudgel to beat logic and grammar into submission is certainly beyond the pale.

As for his closing thought on blaming the English departments for this situation, it’s going to require Doc Brown & his DeLorean to address this element. I was a college freshman in 1973 when I found out I was in a very small minority of students who had been taught anything like the Trivium in high school. The blank looks told the story in Freshman Comp I classroom when the concepts of rhetorical structure in expository writing were the subject of the day. Many were run over by that rhetorical truck.

It’s a really good article explaining the judicial decisions not to look into obvious fraud.

Training kids to be illogical has been going on many years. I remember reading about it and trying an experiment with my Sunday school students. It was a simple If-Then statement. The kids were 12 years old but it baffled them.

The Leftist DemocRAT/Media complex dismisses any accusation of a stolen election as being “without evidence” while they actively suppress the substantial evidence that is already available. When roughly half the people in the country doubt that the election was stolen you would think that at least a thorough investigation should be conducted.

Problem with this article is that it ironically forgets logic. The one in a quadrillion claim is only true if all events are independent. If there is a correlation between them, then the computation of odds go out the window.

However, logic, grammar and rhetoric are racist constructions of white privilege (sarcasm)

Just seeing this article now (I searched "grammar"). This is a good observation by the author:
The audience has no clear understanding of conjunctions, prepositions, articles, or subordinate clauses. One can transform any phrase rhetorically into the opposite of what it means grammatically.
Case in point: the Second Amendment:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The sentence directly and unambiguously states that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The reason for it, despite the antiquated use of a comma before the verb, is that the verb "shall not be infringed" can only be combined with the subject "the right", thus forming the dominant clause, "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

As such, the introductory, subordinate clause, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State," is non-essential, and merely adds to the main clause but does not define it. Yet leftists who insist that the sentence means what it does not are ignoring the clear grammar.

Btw, that comma before the verb is common of the time. Read the Constitution or the Federalist Papers and you will see that use of commas all over the place. Commas were relatively new punctuation, and at the time it was used not just to separate clauses and phrases, but also as a pause for emphasis.
