Are Indian immigrant Ramaswamy and African immigrant Musk correct that America is a mediocrity?

Sort of. That one was, IMHO, a way to let Gaetz resign without just resigning in disgrace. His withdrawal from consideration came way too quickly for a serious appointment. Though I would say if he got actually appointed then it would have been someone not nearly as qualified as Bondi. I notice that none of you really have anything terrible to say about that one.

I wondered at the time if the Geatz (and other first-round picks) were stalking horses, lighting rods...

Thread 'Will Trump get his first-round picks? A thread'

He may not want to. He's been known to feint and bluff the left before.

Maybe these initial nominees are stalking horses.

Why would anyone suspect that?

Many of Trump's first-round picks share some common characteristics.

Obviously, Democrats will try to oppose whoever he proposes, and he could be playing the long game to draw them out so he can use their own arguments against them if he has alternative nominees he'll produce after Congress is in session again...

Several who've been victimized by Democrats and unelected bureaucrats drunk with power have now been nominated to be put...
 
Vivek Ramsay the Trump-supporting entrepreneur misapprehends the sources of American success.

By David Brooks

I could have been a tech entrepreneur, but my parents let me go to sleepovers. I could have been a billionaire, but I used to watch Saturday-morning cartoons. I could have been Vivek Ramaswamy, if not for the ways I’ve been corrupted by the mediocrity of American culture. I’m sad when I contemplate my lazy, pathetic, non-Ramaswamy life.

These ruminations were triggered by a statement that Ramaswamy, the noted cultural critic, made on X on Thursday. He was explaining why tech companies prefer to hire foreign-born and first-generation engineers instead of native-born American ones: It has to do with the utter mediocrity of American culture.

Thanks for providing the correct information.

I do not think anchor baby Ramaswamy really understands what makes American culture vibrant and creative.

No, he doesn't. Upper class Indians are very focused on status, education, high earnings, wealth, and class. If his parents, well-educated members of the Brahmin caste, had the funds to immigrate here, they started out well-off. Their values differ significantly from those of middle-class Americans. This is not to say that their values are bad, merely different.

Say the folks who cheered on folks like Panetta. Did you know that 25% of the people appointed to Secretary of Defense have never served in the armed forces? (I didn't until today, I knew there were some, but not one in four, and it is actually 29%).

Interestingly, 2 of the six guys who had no time in service were appointed by Eisenhower... I wonder if he thought his experience was enough.

While you MAGAtards ignore the fact that Hegsmeth is a drunken buffoon and that Gaetz is an amoral sleazeball creep.

Apparently he doesn't even know that malls are for all intents and purposes, dead.

When was the last time a group of teenagers went to hang out in a mall?
