Lem the artificially intelligent said...: YouTube: Why is Wokeism so irresistible to many people?

Long podcast i started watching and hopefully will finish sometime in the near future. Suffice to say the beginning is very good.; 5/19/24, 9:19 PM

Because most people, especially liberals, are very dumb.; 5/19/24, 11:35 PM
gadfly said...: Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash in mountainous terrain near the Azerbaijan border with Iran. All nine occupants of the US-made Bell 212 were killed. Iranian TV reported that images from the site showed the chopper slammed into a steep hillside during bad weather and heavy fog.

Look for angry mobs demanding revenge against the U.S. for making the "SUV" copter that flew itself into a “steep, wooded hillside.” Three thousand more missiles will fly. And President Biden didn't even say "Sorry."; 5/20/24, 3:49 AM
Howard said...: In an interview with “60 Minutes” airing this Sunday, Pope Francis takes aim at his “conservative critics” in the United States, reportedly saying a conservative is someone who “clings to something and does not want to see beyond that.”

“It is a suicidal attitude,” the pope said as reported by “60 Minutes,” which released a brief clip of the upcoming interview conducted by CBS’ Nora O’Donnell.

“Because one thing is to take tradition into account, to consider situations from the past, but quite another is to be closed up inside a dogmatic box.”; 5/20/24, 3:58 AM
wendybar said...: This race baiting is disgusting.

"You missed your high school graduation. You started college just as George Floyd was murdered, and there was a reckoning on race. It's natural to wonder if the 'democracy' you hear about actually works for you. What is democracy? That black men are being killed in the street. What is democracy? The trail of broken promises still leaves black communities behind. What is democracy? You have to be ten times better than anyone else to get a fair shot. Most of all, what does it mean? As you've heard before, to be a black man who loves his country even if it doesn't love him back in equal measure."

wendybar said...: Howard,
Dopey Pope Francis is a communist. Love how lefties are loving him. It figures.; 5/20/24, 4:05 AM
wendybar said...: "So, what is the fascism that Trump will rain down upon us? Here’s a juicy one: “On law: Trump could make use of the discretionary powers available to the executive branch to direct the FBI and the Department of Justice to target his political rivals as well as private businesses and media organizations.” Yeah, imagine a president who made use of the discretionary powers available to the executive branch to direct the FBI and the Department of Justice to target his political rivals as well as private businesses and media organizations. Man, that would be awful."

wendybar said...: Biden lies to the NAACP audience...(again)

"When I was vice president, things were kinda bad during the pandemic," Biden said.

"And what happened was Barack said to me, "Go to Detroit and help fix it. Well, poor Mayor, he spent more time with me than he ever thought he was going to have to, God love you."

Since Pence was VP, once again, Joe has to lie his way through life....He fixed NOTHING.

Humperdink said...: Via X: "The Kansas City Star is calling on the KC Chiefs to fire Harrison Butker and hire a female kicker after Butker advocated for traditional values during a speech.

The opinion piece quickly notified readers that this was "not a joke" and "not unrealistic.'"

The Kansas City Star, presumably a free speech advocate, does not see the irony in silencing someone's free speech. Of course we've seen this fish before.; 5/20/24, 5:07 AM
Humperdink said...: I am thrilled to see Howard jumping in bed with the (liberal) pope. Makes me laugh.; 5/20/24, 5:12 AM
Mark said...: Humperdink is so worried about the speech rights of football players. I assume that's why he was also 'all in' supporting Kapernick kneeling and his free speech.

Oh wait, he only supports misogynistic free speech, what a speech hero Humperdink is!; 5/20/24, 5:19 AM
Meade said...: “And President Biden didn't even say "Sorry."“

Don’t worry—I’m sure he will.; 5/20/24, 5:48 AM
iowan2 said...: Kapernick Stole the NFL platform to advance his political agenda

Butker was invited to speak. His speech resulted in a Standing ovation.
Butker was not so much "free speech" as having a conversation in a friends living room

But you be you Mark; 5/20/24, 6:25 AM
iowan2 said...: Gee clinging to the Scripture. How stupid is that?; 5/20/24, 6:27 AM
Breezy said...: I don’t watch any of the Sunday morning news interviews in real time, but I do watch a few of the highlights that pop up after the fact. I have to admit, I don’t see why Kristen Welker has that seat on Meet the Press. Her demeanor is so off-putting, and seems to be more combative than Chuck Todd, even. It is just me? Do all MtP hosts have to point/stab their pens at their guests now, as Todd did? Does she ever display a lighter side?; 5/20/24, 6:27 AM
Humperdink said...: Mark, Mark, Mark .... you somehow failed to note the difference. What a shocker. One spoke out, in this case kneeling, while at his employer's venue, a no-no. The other, Butker, spoke at an outside event.

BTW, if you are going to use an avowed Commie in your example, please spell his name right.; 5/20/24, 6:31 AM
boatbuilder said...: Maybe the Chiefs could have Taylor Swift kick for them. They would lose every game, but sell out well in advance, and the TV ad revenue and merch sales would be astronomical.

Yo, Mark--until Butker made a speech at a private traditional Catholic institution advocating traditional Catholic values (not at a football game), did you know he was a Catholic?

Do you see the difference?; 5/20/24, 6:33 AM
Leland said...: Note in Wendybar’s accurate quote of Biden talking to graduates that he is attacking the concept of democracy. Does anyone remember the vote taken to close schools and not have graduation well after 14 days past Spring Break? Supposedly Biden was elected democratically, what was his stance on school closings? He supported keeping them closed after a year of 14 days.

As for George Floyd, how is “defund the police” working out for black inner city neighborhoods?; 5/20/24, 6:42 AM
SteveWe said...: Gadfly,

Originally manufactured by Bell Helicopter in Fort Worth, Texas, United States, production was moved to Mirabel, Quebec, Canada in 1988.; 5/20/24, 6:47 AM
Humperdink said...: From the Babylon Bee: "Harrison Butker does not reflect values" Says the League of Woman Beaters.; 5/20/24, 6:54 AM
Iman said...: I mean no disrespect, but this Pope is a dope.

And a commie.; 5/20/24, 7:38 AM
Big Mike said...: In an interview with “60 Minutes” airing this Sunday, Pope Francis takes aim at his “conservative critics” in the United States, reportedly saying a conservative is someone who “clings to something and does not want to see beyond that.”

Guy’s in the running for the title of “worst Pope since Rodrigo Borgia.”; 5/20/24, 8:23 AM

Gadfly,

Originally manufactured by Bell Helicopter in Fort Worth, Texas, United States, production was moved to Mirabel, Quebec, Canada in 1988.

The article I read specified that the Bell helicopter was US-made. This one could have been made in Texas pre-1988. Many of Iran's American aircraft are very old, dating back to years before Jimmy Carter's Iran hostage problem.; 5/20/24, 8:42 AM
Narr said...: This Pope is a dope. Meant with disrespect.; 5/20/24, 9:14 AM
gadfly said...: the International Criminal Court has charged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and several other officials, with crimes against humanity.

Somehow they failed to charge Egyptian authorities for failing to open their gates to Arab refugees fleeing Gaza, fearing a Hamas attack, I suppose, at the expense of Palestinian deaths.

So war is Hell and all the rules ever made regarding war are ignored by terrorists and by those who must fight terrorism.; 5/20/24, 9:26 AM
iowan2 said...: , I suppose, at the expense of Palestinian deaths.

Like those social media influencers fall to their death getting the perfect selfie. Palestinians are 100% eagerly participating in their own self aggrandizement.; 5/20/24, 9:35 AM
SteveWe said...: Gadfly,

So why did you post, "All nine occupants of the US-made Bell 212 were killed."? Maybe you should correct your post. Do you think?; 5/20/24, 11:22 AM
Jim at said...: I assume that's why he was also 'all in' supporting Kapernick kneeling and his free speech.

Of course you're not smart enough to recognize one person was invited to speak to an audience while the other forced people to sit through his tantrum even though they purchased tickets for a football game.; 5/20/24, 3:24 PM
