Intelligence isn't measured strictly by success. I know people who went to MIT and majored in mathematics and engineering, I know people who got 1600 on the SATs, etc.

Some of the most successful business people I know aren't really smart, they just know how to run businesses successfully. For example one of the weathier people in my area run a construction company. They leveraged that into also running plumbing company, gas company, septic company, etc. so when you build a house they do it all themselves or more accurately, sub the work out to themselves. THey turned their money into other successful bsuiness ventures and own tons of land and rent out tons of business properties. Again the people who run this aren't the smartest people I know but they're hard workers and make good business choices.

The smart people I know grew up poor to middle class and didn't have a safety net if things fail. Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg, etc. could swing big because if they failed they wouldn't fall into poverty.

Add in the bit about being right place right time. Musk if he was 10 years older couldn't have done things the way he did. If he was born a decade earlier the same. Would he have been successful? Probably because again, wealthy. He had a safety net had he failed. Most truly rich people are that way. Sure some exist that aren't. But they were able to do things that poor people weren't.

He has an IQ of 150 or higher. Considering that represents .04% of the population, it's extremely unlikely you know a dozen people smarter than him.
 
When he dropped out of Stanford's PhD program his eligibility to remain in the country on a student visa expired. But I am not in favor of deporting him. As I have pointed out Americans have and continue to benefit from illegal immigrants in all sorts of ways.
 
Ben Carson is a brain surgeon and I wouldnt trust him to run a Dairy Queen.

edit - Why does Ben Carsons profiel when I google search him say he overcame poverty, racism........ and a violent temper. Thats the first I have heard of him having a violent temper. Seems like a genuinely nice dude.

Rasmussen with a +2 Trump lead in WI. When RCP updates tomorrow, it is expected that WI will cross over to a Trump lean as well (possible that it's straight tie though). That would mean every single swing state will have a Trump lean according to RCP.

Where is Goldy these days?

This was easily predictable that eventually black people would break away from the Democrat plantation.

It will only speed up from here. Dems will not be a viable national party in short order.
 
I say that if Harris wins, it will be because of:

(in order of importance)

1. overturning Roe
2. the ineptitude of Trump campaign and it's candidate
3. well organized Dem campaign and good enough candidate
4. changing demographics
 
I agree with that assessment.

What MAGA seems to be overlooking is how overturning Roe seems to have , ĺ to this point, mobilized (D) base

Musk is the greatest African American on my generation.
 
Trump: Over the seas and over our land. And then they want us to have clean. I said wait, we’re gonna be clean but it’s all flying. Just remember that. Does that make sense? In other words, it’s all coming through the currents through the air, they can name it

Bret Baier's repeatedly extending his arm in a palm-toward-and-down dynamic is a nonverbal effort to tell VP Harris to 'shut-up', 'you've said enough about this topic', and 'I have the floor now'.

This particular moment was captured immediately after the Vice President corrected Baier with regard to Trump's true intent and his desire to punish who he perceives to be "the enemy within".

This body language display is commonly exhibited by misogynists and manipulative individuals who are not interested in dialog, discourse, or others' opinions. Their minds are closed. Many find this a triggering behavior to witness – even if it's displayed toward others.

Although not a required component of this emotional display cluster, Baier's close eyelids simultaneous with an elevated forehead amplify his underlying message.
