    “like hiring the captain of the Titanic to teach navigation”

    I have to refer to this podcast, which is brilliant, and puts the ill-fated journey of Titanic in terms I hadn’t heard before. There were so many things that went just the right (wrong) way, and it’s pretty clear that up until the point of impact, nobody did anything wrong, considering the conventional wisdom of the time.

          Everyone’s — many people are saying it. And you look at these icebergs, they’re these little ice cubes floating, and then “global warming” — the lying media — we’ve got all these ice cubes! Unbelievable.

          It’s very bad what’s been done to these captains. It used to be, you could drive your boat and if you were a good captain they would go “yes sir” and you were all set. Horrible. They’ve got all these, we have to hire DEI now, and suddenly these ice cubes are a problem for these big beautiful gorgeous boats. Horrible.

        It was hubris. Just like the US on September 10, 2001. We never expected or even imagined someone attacking us here.

        Until it happened.
