How times have changed, in early 2010 I used to love Colbert show, I used to watch it every day, him and Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Now I literally cant watch Colbert for 2 minutes, its like he did 180 turn, from super funny guy who made fun of Republican but also Democrat insanity, he went full Trump Derangement Syndrome, he became what he was making fun of => party apparatchik with blind obidince to the party line.

Daily Show with Trevor Noah should change name to Woke Show with Trevor Noah, amount of smugness, preaching and ignorance that comes on that show is crazy. I find it very strange, that Noah, who grew up in South Africa, country that first went trough apartheid and now is continued to be destroyed trough insane racial policies (racial quotas for everything), is so open and happy to bring those same polices he escaped from to USA?!?

It seems like all late night shows have become propaganda outlets for progressive left policies, no wonder that entire comedy scene has moved to YouTube and other online media.

What I find funny the most, is that when woke left notices, that nobody is watching their shows (propaganda), they are completely unable to reflect what is the issue and why nobody is tuning in, but they proceed every time with same => nobody is watching, we are not woke enough, we need more diversity hires from xyz part of population (that is in reality 0,00001% of actual population) and we need more ways to add gender/race/woke themes in every show.

This sadly happened to NPR, I used to love their podcast, This American Life, Planet Money, NPR Politics Podcast and many others, now I beardly tune in, since they have in many cases went fully woke. Some times I only listen, to hear how will they manage to shove Race/Gender in every episode, even though the topic if fully unrelated to the race. And they wonder why are they loosing listeners and donors.

I would guess that most employees of Disney Orlando don’t have a problem with the new bill. But time and again CEO’s cave to the very few who scream the loudest. It’s not good to discuss sexuality with kindergartners.

I remember when my youngest child was 5 years old he came home one day crying hysterically that one of the big boys told the little ones how babies were made. He wanted me to tell him it wasn’t true and that he’d never have to do that. I just told him that the big boys were trying to scare the little boys. He’s 40 now and when I tell him about that time he cracks up and says he was too sheltered. I just think it’s not age appropriate for teachers of all people, to discuss sexual issues to kids under 9 years old. Parents need to be the ones to make those decisions.

CEO’s who are too cowardly to ignore the rantings of a few of their employees should grow a spine. What would they do if a few employees ranted about wanting their salaries to be quadrupled? They’d grow a spine.

The NY Times pointed out that the real political divide in this country isn't between left and right, it's between activists and the indifferent. A majority of the public is politically disengaged and who can blame them? Politics is increasingly a toxic stew where war is waged between different factions of elites with little commonality with people who actually have to work for a living.

So people will ignore politics for as long as they can, until they can't. Inflation is one of those issues that force people to pay attention and as such it has the potential for massive disruption.

“Doctors doing harm for fun: A fourth-year med student at Wake Forest University, Kychelle Del Rosario, tweeted this week about a Bad Man whom she punished with pain”

————————————————

I think it was about two years ago when I first announced that when I’m old I will only accept medical care from people with thick accents, hoping that they did not go to school in the United States.

Usually I'm in agreement with your sentiments in the TGIF column. Not today. I'll just mention a few. The child Phoenix is described as having decided at age FIVE he/she/it was the other sex. What? At FIVE? And the parents and doctors went along with this? Now this person wants to be on perpetual puberty blockers to prevent secondary sex characteristics from developing. Nothing good is going to happen here. It goes against the biology and physiology of the body and brain. Revisit this person 20 years from now and see the damage. The parents ought to have their heads examined, and any doctor participating in this should lose their license for malfeasance. Whatever happened to "First do no harm?"

Marjorie Taylor Greene is an important voice to many of us. You may see her as fringe but to those of us in flyover country she is grounded in traditional American values. I would also like to point out she was the first, and may still be the only, member of Congress who went to investigate the prison conditions of the more than 70 people being held, without charges, and for over 14 months in the DC jail because they walked through the Capital on Jan. 6th. Frankly, now that I know she has a Republican challenger I will make it a point to contribute to Ms. Greene's campaign.

Am I the only one who found it appalling that the person in charge at Disney would describe her two children as transgender and pansexual? What the heck is pansexual? How old are these children and are either one of them actually transgendered or pansexual? How do we know? Because she says so? What kind of damage is she doing to these children so she can virtue signal? If she is giving them hormones and they are under 18 isn't that child abuse?

The Will Smith brouhaha and everything that happened thereafter during that hedonistic bullshit known as the Oscars was a perfect distillation of the tribalism that's been tearing our social fabric. The Dolby was literally a hermetically sealed bubble, everyone indulging the gentle conceit that their collective reaction was totally okay and not the very same phenomenon that gave Trump the presidency. What's the difference between Will Smith assaulting someone at the Dolby in front of his ilk and an ordinary white guy wearing a MAGA hat in Georgia punching someone in the face? What's the difference between the standing ovation in that theatre and the Georgia dude's buddies applauding his impulsivity? The appeal of conformity is primal. The desire to belong is often irresistible in that context, nearly reptilian in its primitivism. Follow the crowd, it feels good to not be alone. Perfect example of the power of group psychology.

Glad you ended all the insanity in this week's recap with the NY Times totally "out of step with real life" take on "The Slap"

especially their oh-so-woke conclusion "JadaPinkett Smith shouldn't have to take a joke. Neither should you"

to which I say

"Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke"

So Alex Jones got sued because he said the Sandy hook shootings were fake and Nellie loves that for some reason. We can now sue and get punished for words that may be untrue? So can we sue the Washington Post and the New York Times and the CBSNBCABCNPRCNNMessNBC AND the fifty “intelligence” operatives for their lies about the Hunter Biden laptop? Or does the hate only flow one way these days.

Regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop, the latest ‘conspiracy theory’ turned ‘oh it turns out that people who call something a “conspiracy theory” are wrong 100% of the time’, one key data point has not yet made the news.

Joe Biden said that he decided to run for President and restore the soul of our nation when he saw Charlottesville. BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT a month and a half after Charlottesville, Hunter Biden was getting keys for Joe and James Biden, and also for Chinese spy Gongwen Dong for their new natural gas business venture together (they were planning to make us dependent on China like Germany is on Russia)

This is why I call him Jiao Bideng. Lucky for Jiao, his polling numbers are trending in the direction where he can say that’s what “10% for the Big Guy” meant.

The main reason you know Democrats like Ezra Klein are just straight up imbeciles is because they automatically think you are cruel for opposing the child tax credit. That’s the only reason they can possibly think of for opposing it.

This means they literally have not considered the second and third order effects AT ALL and they are simply judging the policy, like a fucking 6-year-old, thinking

“Poor kids need money for stuff.”

Goddam simpletons. Hey Ezra, I want a $3,000/wk child tax credit. That’s what I actually want. Okay? Unfortunately, my IQ isn’t 105 so I had to scrap the idea.

Peter Doocy Is the Man.

How long until he asks - “Jenn, just to clarify….. it’s the White House’s position that transgenderism should be taught to children 5-7 years old in Florida Schools?”

“Because quite honestly if white men were going to do something about racism, you had 400 years.”

White men are literally the only demographic that has ever done anything significant to combat racism. The other races of the world had it since the beginning of time and made no meaningful effort to change that.

One of MMT’s original economist proponents is now saying Biden did it wrong with the Covid spending and, therefore, true MMT has still never been tried.

There are classier ways of getting back at someone for a stupid joke, like ridiculing him on public and raising awareness about his wife’s illness. I feel badly for the Williams family, how Smith equated his actions with the man he depicted who took the high road to support his daughters. Now who’s being insulting?

This wasn’t about his wife. This was about him.
