Victor Davis Hanson: The Elites Are Not Elite
Long before Trump's monotonous repetition of "tremendous" and "great," Barack Obama thought “corpsmen” was pronounced “corpse-men,” and that Austrians spoke "Austrian" rather than German. Not long ago, Representative Hank Johnson (D., Ga.) warned that if Guam became too populated it might just tip over and sink. The Western world is having a breakdown... The malady... stems from our false notion of elitism. The public no longer believes that privilege and influence should be predicated on titles, brands, and buzz, rather than on demonstrable knowledge and proven character. The idea that brilliance can be manifested in trade skills or retail sales, or courage expressed by dealing with the hardship of factory work, or character found on an Indiana farm, is foreign to the Washington Beltway, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley. Instead, 21st-century repute is accrued from the false gods of the right zip code, high income, proper social circles, and media exposure, rather than from a demonstrable record of moral or intellectual excellence. ... What got the brash Trump elected was a similar popular outrage that the self-described best and brightest of our time are has-beens, having enjoyed influence without real merit or visible achievement. If Donald Trump did not exist, something like him would have had to be invented.To me this is the only question. I do not care nearly as much about anything else. I forgive Trump his heresies on policy because during a revolution you are not worried about what policies will be implemented after the revolution -- the focus is on sweeping the old guard out. As Hillary Clinton once said about the staffers of the White House Travel Office: "I want their people out and our people in." Competent establishments are not deposed -- because they're competent. They are nimble, react well to changing circumstances and growing discontent, and tweak their course to maintain their power and authority. Only incompetent establishments provoke a rebellion. And competent establishments are not surprised by rebellions, either. They see them coming, and head them off by co-optation and adaptation. The very fact that these cretins are still surprised by all this -- still surprised! Four months after the fact! -- shows them to be incompetent, and not nearly so clever as they flatter themselves. Competent, smart establishments are not surprised by the long-brewing and obvious, and competent, sane establishments have already begun processing the new information they've been presented with just weeks after it's been presented. We are now four months on, and they are so stupid they still don't understand, and so lunatic and impervious to reality they're still trying to wishcast an Alternate Universe into existence in which things which happened simply did not happen. Those still fighting to keep the failed establishment, of both the leftist and slightly-to-the-right-of-leftist varieties, in power over us all to continue denigrating us and destroying the world with their incompetency and arrogance may be better "conservatives" than I am, and may be better "Republicans" than I am, but they're enemy soldiers in a war that cannot be lost if we're to have any hope of something better or any kind of future at all.

"
335 After the first dozen essays into silliness, I'm kind of at a loss. It's just all so juvenile - elementary school playground. "Trump is Hitler." Really, that's what they have? Trump = Hitler?
It's so pathetic and they take themselves so seriously. I would be embarrassed to think such an insult would rise to the level of being an insult. And to even use such an insult and not be mortified immediately afterwards.* And yet our betters, the people who believe that evolution and the natural Arc of History decree that they are fit to not only govern others, but to run the minutia of other lives, believe that this is a cogent argument.
Blows my mind.
*If you actually are advocating the mass extermination of a distinct people and getting on about it, then yes, you are Hitler. Though in such a situation you probably think that a compliment."

If you smell the smoke
You don't need to be told
What you got to do
Yet there's a certain breed
So very in between
They'd rather take a vote
Running short on time
Still they can't decide
But we already know
That we are here to go

The media bent themselves into pretzels to clothe their boy-god. They lied. Blatantly. They didn't report things. They are operatives.
After 8 years, people got clued in, and tuned to a different channel. They voted for Trump, who is Political SMOD.
Now, the "elites" and the "MSM" are having some sort of existential breakdown because no one is listening to their lies.
They lied to help Obama and are lying to hurt Trump.
Everyone knows it.
We must finish the MSM off. The only way is to boycott their advertisers passionately.
No ad money= no money to pay their people

Minor quibble: NOT four months after the fact. For me, it goes back to, roughly, January 2011, when the Republicans were handed a majority, and promptly started walking it back.
If you're still surprised at Trump, I can accept that. If you're still surprised Obama wasn't the end all toward tra la la'ing into a post-racial world, I can even accept that... to a certain extent.
But if you are a Gope, and you don't understand why the rubes aren't listening to you anymore, sorry fell, you are hopeless. We're done with you. Go away angry if you want, I don't care, just go away.

Is this really surprising? Once Trump got in, he had 2 choices - he could get in touch with his Inner Democrat and start cutting deals and caving (which I thought was a very real possibility) or he could set out to do what he promised.
He did the latter, and does anybody think the Deep State and the media would just sit there quietly and watch their power slip away?

===================
VDH has outlined that there are 4 main schools of thought in American politics in regards to foreign policy:
Hamiltonianism
Jeffersonianism
Jacksonianism
and
Wilsonianism
In this context Jacksonianism means something specific: Along the lines of "We don't want to get involved in the world's affairs, but we'll bring hell when we're forced to." At least somewhat stemming from the incident when Jackson crossed the border into Spanish Florida, without orders, to grab a British national who had been causing harm to American troops.
W. would be a Wilsonian in this model.

lets get real, our elites do know what's best for us, they've read
books and took classes in college, they're smart. I don't believe farmers and dirty construction workers with their smells and such are leadership material, what we need is more college professors and climate scientists leading the way for a better tomorrow.

In 1828, the wild and unruly Andrew Jackson was elected president because the rapidly expanding country had tired of the pretenses of an exhausted elite of tidewater and New England mediocrities.
The hollow, tiny coastal establishment of the 1820s perpetuated the ancestry and background of the great but all-but-disappeared Founding Fathers such as George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe. Yet otherwise, the Founders' lesser successors had not earned the status they had assumed from their betters. The outsider Jackson won by exposing their pretenses.

======================
I don't know about that. Not to question VDH, but it seems like Jackson was carried by two things:
1) The West, which had no champion other than Jackson (Clay is very second fiddle)
and
2) The disgust at Clay and John Q. Adams for 1824 and how they took the presidency, which probably should have been Jackson's.
The power centers at the time just didn't have anyone who knew anything about what the West needed and were more concerned with their own regional issues, all while the West got progressively more powerful by simply filling out new states.

We just had one. I think people sometimes forget, Obama was also an outsider candidate who took down the prototypical establishment candidate, Hillary Clinton.
Trump is arguably more of an outsider but if you go back to 2008 it as Obama who ran as the outsider who was going to change everything. I agree, it's important that Trump does well because we could either swing back to an establishment type or worse, another Obama from the left.

Competent establishments are not deposed -- because they're competent. They are nimble, react well to changing circumstances and growing discontent, and tweak their course to maintain their power and authority.

So - best case scenario:

he's the citizen of a country he doesn't really love, who became an American for a stupid reason and now he has no "Sir" in front of his name.
I doubt he'll be able to go back to the UK and say, "I was just joking. Please can I have my pretentious title back?"

Compared to the combat casualty rates of, say, the Eighth Air Force in the same theater at the same time, the mission which Joe Jr. was flying ought to have been a comparative cakewalk: putting a sacrificial plane onto an intercept course, then deliberately hitting the silk and letting the automated terminal guidance handle the final segment of flying in the risk zone.
Plenty of aircrew in B-17s bound for tough targets like Stuttgart would have traded seats.

I believe one is in order now. Was thinking of that on my way back from lunch. Trump voters are watching all these shenanigans, can't imagine they are happy. I have seen no erosion of support for him, in fact there is more evidence of enthusiastic approval, for instance in my neck of the woods, business people are flying Trump flags under Old Glory or from their trucks. They are erecting Trump signs in front of their businesses.
I live in the Philadelphia suburbs, not deep red Oklahoma or Kentucky.

So there was this junkie who broke into a fancy apartment, stole some jewelry which he put in his pocket and then decided to take a quick nap on the couch, until the owners came home and called NYPD, who found said junkie on the coach, asleep, with the loot in his pocket.
Ordinarily a case like this would plea out, but Morgenthau had John John's first case for trial!

I've been writing about the lack of 'expertise' among our 'experts' in financial regulation (my chosen field) since about 2010. The idiots who write the rules simply can't keep up intellectually, with the geniuses whose job it is to stay ahead of the rules.
This one from just before the Trump era, explains the government generated incentives that caused the Mortgage bond crisis, and is offered in the guise of a review of the book, The Big Short.
http://freenj.blogspot.com/2015/12/big-short-brad-pitt-proves-hes-idiot.html
In fact, it's simplistic, stupid government regulation which provided the incentives for the derivatives markets in the first place. Or at least any derivative more complicated than a Commodity future is certainly a product of government attempts at regulating market behavior.
With that said though, your brethren in the news business are nearly as bad:
