They won’t rest until they get their fellow Heinerscheid, Donald Trump.

Heinerscheids on the left and right dominate the top of government, industry and media.

What is a Heinerscheid (high-nur-shide)?

A Heinerscheid is an upper-caste American from the Ivy League who has been hoodwinked to believe that a degree from a top-ranked school brings wisdom, common sense, and self-awareness.

In truth, the primary value of the degree is that it serves as an entrée into a network of other Heinerscheids.

Heinerscheids are experts at using their connections to acquire social, economic, and political power to advance themselves.  As a result, they hold influential positions in the echo chamber of a big corporation or big government, or big media, where they make multiples of what the average bloke makes, an amount that far exceeds what they contribute to the commonweal.

We’ll begin with Heinerscheids on the left and turn later to ones on the right.

Heinerscheids on the left have been steeped in crackpot race theory, marinated in social justice sophistry, and pickled in guilt over their gilded station in life.  They try to compensate for their silver spoon through hollow virtue signaling and communing with the so-called disadvantaged, believing that they are intellectually and morally superior to the middlebrows and lowbrows in Middle America.

The term Heinerscheid is eponymously derived from the name of a real person:  Alissa Heinerscheid.

Alissa Heinerscheid is the former Anheuser-Busch marketing executive and brand manager for Bud Light who thought it would be a swell idea to partner with the trans social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney in selling beer, or swill if you will.

Mulvaney supposedly has ten million followers on social media, a statistic that baffles me, because if I were on social media, I wouldn’t be interested in following even myself.  Mulvaney also was an actor in the stage production of the musical “The Book of Mormon.” Evidently, it’s okay to lampoon Mormons but not transsexuals and transgenders.   

Alissa Heinerscheid attended the Groton School, where the annual tuition is purported to be $60,000.  She went on to get degrees in English and literature from Harvard, and from there got an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, the alma mater of Donald Trump.

No wonder she used the word “fratty” to describe Bud Lite drinkers.  She would know fratty.

It would be inaccurate to say that Alissa was born on third base.  Actually, she and others of her caste started the game of life with a five-run advantage and umpires who had been bribed to throw the game in their favor.

It’s possible for someone to be born and raised in a lower caste and still be a Heinerscheid, as long as the individual later went to the right college and now lives in the right neighborhood and parrots the right clichés and platitudes about diversity, social justice, and giving back to the community.  There are also a lot of Heinerscheid wannabes who don’t quite make the grade but strive to be accepted into the caste.  Joe Biden is one of them.

Heinerscheids on the right are from the same caste as those on the left, went to the same schools, and live in the same neighborhoods.  However, they differ from their counterparts on the left in not feeling guilty about their station in life, in not being woke, and in not demeaning the white working class, not that they really care about the working class or want to live among them.

If you believe as I do that the U.S. is in decline, then the fault lies with the Heinerscheids who have been running the country for the last half-century. It’s certainly not the fault of the proles, hoi polloi, and deplorables.

The lower castes weren’t responsible for the overthrow of democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, the folly of the Bay of Pigs invasion, the bloody debacle of the Vietnam War, or the closing of the gold window in 1971, or the Arab Oil Embargo and its subsequent economic downturn, or the arming of the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan, or the offshoring of their jobs, or the imbecility of the Iraq War, or the further imbecility of the Afghanistan War, or the rise of ISIS, or the decades of unsustainable deficit spending, or the tuition loan scam and the related greed of universities, or the never-ending propagation of government red tape and bureaucrats, or the economic fallout from the Federal Reserve’s easy money and zero interest rates.

On the last point, it should be noted that the Fed employs an estimated 300 Ph.D. economists.  It’s a safe bet that many of them are Heinerscheids.    

The partisan divide in Congress and the divide between the current and former administrations masks how alike the two sides are in pedigree.  There are a lot of Heinerscheids on both sides of the divide who are in the same good-ole-boy or good-ole-girl network, where, to repeat, they learned how to pull the levers of government, industry, and media in accumulating power, prestige, and wealth.

Yale is one of the breeding grounds.  Not only was the CIA born at Yale, but notable members of the university’s secret society of the Skull and Bones included JFK advisor McGeorge Bundy, President Herbert Walker Bush, President George W. Bush, Senator John Kerry, and Obama advisor Austan Goolsbee.

A small sample of the many other notable Yale graduates includes Dick Cheney, Hillary Clinton, William Buckley, Time Magazine Editor Fareed Zakaria, FedEx founder Frederick Smith, and Ron DeSantis, who also has a Harvard degree.

Georgetown is another breeding ground.  Some of its notable graduates include Lyndon Johnson, Antonin Scalia, Bill Clinton, Robert Gates, Steve Bannon, Jerome Powell, Paul Pelosi (husband of Nancy Pelosi), Hunter Biden, Tiffany Trump, and Eric Trump.

Harvard graduates have permeated government, industry, and media even more.   A list of the 100 most notable Harvard graduates is at this link:

It’s telling that eight of the nine Supreme Court justices are from the Ivy League.  Are we to believe that other law schools don’t produce expert constitutional jurists?

What about Donald Trump?  Is he a Heinerscheid?  He certainly is by pedigree.

Until the seventh grade, Trump attended the private Kew-Forest School in Queens, where his wealthy father was a member of the school’s governing board, and where the current tuition is about $40,000 per year.  Due to unruly behavior, he was then sent to the New York Military Academy (NYMA) in Cornwall-On-Hudson in upstate New York, where the current annual tuition and fees for boarding students total $53,000.

Trump went on to get a degree from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

He certainly knew how to operate the levers of power in New York City, a city awash in Heinerscheids.  Leveraging his inherited wealth and connections, he built a real estate empire, and, knowing how to play the Heinerscheids in the media, he got his own TV show and nearly constant media coverage locally and nationally.  In a very real sense, he is a product of Heinerscheids.

Now they hate him, not for being narcissistic and obnoxious, but for being a traitor to his caste. Instead of playing the Heinerscheid game, whether on the side of the right or left, he violated the rules of the game and exposed the Heinerscheids for the hypocrites and phonies they are.

There’s nothing like a scorned Heinerscheid.  They won’t rest until they get him.
