Aaron Spencer, a Republican who is accused of killing Michael Fosler, 67, defeated Lonoke County [Arkansas]Sheriff John Staley in the primary election, winning more than 53% of the vote, according to unofficial results posted by the Arkansas Secretary of State. Spencer, an Army veteran and farmer, is out on bond awaiting trial. His opponent, the incumbent sheriff whose deputies arrested Spencer in 2024, offered his congratulations saying that he “respected the voters’ decision.” I sure don’t! If the accused murderer is convicted, he can’t be the sheriff should he beat his Democratic opponent in November. [Pointer: JutGory]
Meanwhile, Vince Offer, generally known as the “ShamWow Guy” for his energetic infomercials, got less than 3% of the vote in Texas’ 31st congressional district GOP primary. He is indignant and suing, though, because Vince claims party officials illegally stripped “ShamWow Guy” from the ballot, leaving him represented by, you know, his name. That means that he concedes nobody knew who he was except for the commercials, and yet still believes that enough voters would have voted for “ShamWow Guy” to represent them in Washington based solely on the fact that he pitched the super-wiping cloth memorably on TV.
And you know what?
He may be right.

I think the overall appearance may be that average intelligence (read IQ) IS getting lower;
HOWEVER…
We really should at least consider that the average intelligence isn’t actually getting lower, but people are getting, or are indoctrinated to be, lazy. Instead of using intelligence, critical thinking, and logic to learn and make decisions, they’re just lazy and believe whatever biased narrative that fits their indoctrinated bias, and then they’re willing to climb on the bandwagon and go with the flow. This is what indoctrinated ignorant puppets do, why the hell would these indoctrinated drones rock the boat and suffer the wrath of the mob?
Really think about how lowering standards to the lowest common denominator in education systems from kindergarten through undergraduate college degrees does to the overall student population. Why should the really intelligent students work extra hard to get the top grades when they can be lazy, sluff off, party with their friends, get lower scores and still have high enough scores to be in the top of their graduating classes. Students are being taught (read indoctrinated) that excelling is pointless, being average is now considered above average, and an imbecile getting a wall full of participation trophies is damn near as good as a higher education degree. Even Ivy League colleges like Harvard and Yale have lowered standards.
The “The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America” that’s taken place in the late 20th and early 21st century’s is really just intelligent people that have been indoctrinated to be…
LAZY!!!
Let’s face it folks, digging into the propaganda narratives to prove that they’re lies sometimes takes a lot of work and the end result is that really smart people will be attacked by rally stupid and gullible people. The gullible seem to think that the loudest voices are the smartest voices.
