Enco,

What is amazing is how ivy league schools before you can take middle eastern history courses you have to be indoctrinated into oppressor/oppressed belief. Take that class first. I am basing that contention on the say-so of a middle eastern studies student hearsay but i am guessing it is true. Can you imagine being that stupid that you…[Read more]

Jake,

Important to note in discussing Wokeism: Bona Fide oppression is not a good thing to be aquiesed.

But what Wokeism gets wrong is making Oppressor and Oppressed into inborn attributes which are products of immutable categories such as “race,” “ethnicity,” nationality, sex, sexual orientation, or even ones imborn Class. In truth,…[Read more]

Strega,

Picked up from BlueSky…

RFK Jr. spits out a mouthful of asbestos and takes a swig from his sewage bottle.

“I can already see children getting healthier,” he gurgles, a bone from a roadkill bat lodged in his larynx. “The spike in measles deaths is a sign their mitochondrial vitality is spiking.”

His left ear drops off.

On a more seri…[Read more]

Enco,

Sam Harris said of his ethnicity it is the least interesting thing about me. It ought to be but being Jewish results in lefties/Muslims condemning all Jews for the putative wrongdoings of Israel. And in the case of Muslims all Jews are evil. Pounded into their heads from childhood.

The entire construct of the lefties is an exercise in…[Read more]

Enco,

To the extent it is tried, to the extent it is true, doesn’t denigrate me as a half breed Jew. Nor immigrants eating cats and wielding bats to pulverize gnats. No side taken. Just the sordid acts and the varied facts.

Your pedigree of any degree is of no concern of me, nor should it be anyone else’s. As is scat and shat about cat c…[Read more]

Even so my idea is a little different. I want the democratic party and the population at large to utilize as a primary…[Read more]

Jake,

I’ve seen ads for several services of interest. The first two claim to be and may be what you propose, though I haven’t browsed them in depth yet:

Straight Arrow News

I checked out their story on RFK Jr. Hearings. In addition to video, it includes a Big Picture sidebar debunking assertions by RFK Jr., tells how…[Read more]

“Trump is wreaking havoc, much of it irreparable, and he has three and a half more years — at a minimum — to continue his wrecking-ball presidency.

From the above linked article…..Trump is wreaking havoc, much of it irreparable, and he has three and a half more years — at a minimum — to continue his wrecking-ball presidency. The disunity of the opposition has enabled Trump to proceed without the public fully understanding the range and scope of his destruction. Every day Trump sows con…[Read more]

Reg – nice one, with the pigs :🐷

Enco – yes the BBC has been called Auntie Beeb by Brits for longer than I can remember.

Edited to add that Auntie Beeb dates back to the 1940’s and consequently predates me altogether.

Yes, it turns out that four legs are good but two legs are better. At least now that the pigs have been found walking on two legs. I was confused too. But when I checked with the Ministry of Truth, I discovered that pigs have always walked in this manner. I was mistaken in my thinking that they ever walked on four. The Leader is good.

Reg,

I’m truly confused.

It wasn’t too long ago that the “norms, values, and institutions” were all systemically racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, privileged, and just all-around no-good-nik. Now, Trump is back and all of a sudden “norms, values, and institutions” are the bee’s knees and all who condemned them are struggling…[Read more]

USA hangs in the balance.

Yes.

Check out The Capture on Netflix. The future of media!!

Strega,

Whilst trying to find actual news on the television rather than from podcasts, I hate to say it but Sky News seems to be far better than Auntie Beeb in its accuracy

“Auntie Beeb?” Is that what the Brits call the BBC?

“Auntie Beeb” sound like the name for a dottering old chatter-box who, at best, gets the details wrong and, at worst,…[Read more]

Simon,

You’re talking about the BBC. I get multiple programmes of this nature every day.

Uh, Simon, it’s BBC, monopoly State-run media. It’s going to be biased to whoever is the party and ideology in power and to whatever cultural millieu those in power want to appeal to and embrace.

When media is private, multiple-sourced, and competitive, a…[Read more]

Yes, I would agree with you Strega and I now have Sky News back on my watch list. Overall the BBC is still very good so when they are biased it is really noticeable.  I enjoy Question Time and I have no problem hearing diverse opinions in such a setting, especially as the host is normally very good at moderating the discussions. But the news…[Read more]

The Asserson Report (Sept 2024) based on analysis of 9 million words, alleges the BBC violated its own editorial guidelines over 1,500 times, showing a bias against Israel—inclining towards Palestinian perspectives, portraying Israel as aggressive, downplaying Hamas terrorism. Report is here.

I have noticed that many “mainstream media” out…[Read more]

Simon, the BBC news is a great disappointment to me. The subjects they choose to report on may be accurate within the UK, but their coverage of USA events is hugely biased as they now get their “news” from CNN and similar organisations and it’s incredibly biased and incorrect.

Whilst trying to find actual news on the television rather than from…[Read more]
