  1. This is the least of Whoopi's sins. It's like Andrew Cuomo being taken out by sexual harassment allegations, when his other crimes are much worse. Whoopi's a fountain of ignorance and pro-establishment propaganda, masquerading as a champion of the people. The View is vomitable.

  2. Yes. I agree. Working and learning remotely is a boon to society, but bosses, teachers and students are poorly trained for it. I'm one of the exceptions Dave talked about, due to health reasons, and I was already working remotely before the p1and3m1c. For people who are MOTIVATED and TRAINED, remote work is highly efficient and effective. Zero commute time, massive fuel savings, and your BEST people aren't held back by one-size-fits-all, realtime, in-person groups, that never move any faster than the slowest group member, or an arbitrary schedule. My best students slurp up the knowledge FAST. Going remote, I can stay out of their way and put more time and energy where it's needed. Students can work ahead, so they can slow down if a concept kicks their butt. Working ahead also frees up space for family emergencies. Got a funeral to attend or need to care for a sick parent/child/grandma? You've got some slack in your schedule for LIFE stuff, which is perfect for motivated students, adult students, students with lots of extracurricular activities of all kinds. But the vast majority of students aren't trained to direct their own learning in any way. Much of the resistance to remote learning is the comfortable, in-person spoon feedings that generations of Americans have experienced, even though we know it's not really working. And of course, feminism in education is pushing most of the boys right out of the system, with lesson plans and teaching strategies aimed at females, with more emphasis on busy work and less on actual mastery of the material. Just so no one's feelings are hurt... Of course, no one cares about the feelings of students who are alienated or diagnosed as ADHD because they're normal and the lessons suck.

  3. You didn't know because you didn't want to know, and everybody was telling you how wonderful you were for keeping people super-duper safe with super-stupid ideas.

  4. The land of Adam Smith is apparently disappearing beneath the waves.

  5. Obama's been talkin' nonsense since he was in college.

  6. What should really scare liberals - and you see it already - is the thought that the federal government, to which they insisted too much power be given, should be taken over by people who disagree with them! And it's gonna happen! Look at the Trump freakout. Imagine in 50 years, when we have 2 or 3 generations of atheist liberals overtaken by God-fearing Christians and Muslims, who believe in family and are raising big families! But they WANT their nanny government. They INSIST upon it! They have created institutions that aren't answerable to the people, and it's gonna come back around and bite them along with the rest of us. It already is. I don't see any way to reduce the government under the current political milieu, so what will happen is the bureaucracy will just keep growing and becoming more and more authoritarian, until it crumbles of its own weight. The chaos that ensues will be horrific.

  7. The inordinate fear of death by The Latest Threat prevents liberals from assessing threats and risks, rationally. COVID isn't the only thing out there that can kill you, and perfect protection against any one thing just raises the danger of all the OTHER real threats that they ignore because all they can think about is the Latest Thing. "You're gonna starve, but at least you're save from COVID! You're gonna die of cancer, but we 'saved' you from COVID. You're gonna die of vaccine side-effects, but you're safe from COVID!" They all think in terms of one variable.

  8. That's why most conservatives and libertarians vote Republican, even though they're not that different from the Democrats. I don't agree with anybody on everything, but I'm closer to Ron Paul than damn near anybody else. Democrats have been bad news pretty much since FDR, who used every crisis at his disposal to make the people think government was the solution to all problems and the source of their well-being. Now, 70 or 80 years later, we're seeing the real fruits of that abandonment of self-responsible freedom for the apparent blank check from the U.S. Treasury. Now, we're $31 trillion in debt, which is about $90,000 for every man, woman and child and $250,000 for every man and woman who actually PAYS federal taxes. The price of that false security? OBEDIENCE.

  9. People still watch SNL? It was bad when there was no Internet.

  10. Lots of "smart people" vote Democrat. They're just ignorant of history, and have never been exposed to ANYthing hostile to big-government, top-down governance.

  11. A year or more ago, the "This is a Trump voter and MAGA is a threat to America!" screed would've lasted well past November 8th. The turnaround time on lies and disinformation is much less, now, than it was. The plandemic might be seen as the high water mark of the Democrat-dominated smear machine. They used that club one too many times, and maybe they're running out of clubs. My main worry, now, is that they're going to go to war as a last-ditch effort to shore up support, but I think the reservoir of blind patriotism is just about dry. But let's not get too happy about apparent trends. The political class will stop at nothing and stoop to anything to achieve its goals.

  12. During riots of 2020, and the mobbing of Republicans in restaurants, the media explicitly forbade the term "mobbing." Intimidation and violence are OK if it's for a Democrat cause or serves Democrat political ends.

  13. Bernie was a failure at everything except politics. He's a classic example of someone who can't do anything but promise to spend other people's money.

  14. The establishment got EVERthing wrong AND crushed all dissent with censorship and other sanctions. They got it wrong AND they censored.

  16. Critical thinking became obsolete the minute it started popping up in curriculum boilerplate in higher education. It's a buzz phrase that is served by exercises that appear to be aimed at teaching students how to back-fill the desired response.

  17. Gingrich was good in the early '80s. Some of those special orders speeches by him and other young turks in the Reagan Revolution were great. But by the time he was Speaker during Clinton, they'd lost their way. Used to really like him, though.

  18. Still a lot of good to be said for a college education. But it's not that hard to obtain college catalogs and see what the curriculum is for different programs of study. And you can find 'most all those courses and texts, online, for very cheap. Brick-and-mortar colleges and traditional lectures are woefully obsolete ways of conveying a good education. Want to learn about Western Civilization? Watch Tom Ritchie! Want to learn math? Go to Khan Academy! You can find just about anything you're looking for. And if you've got $100, you can get full access to fully automated online course management systems (CMSs) and Learning Management Systems (LMSs). Check out Cengage! Check out Pearson Learning! I use their products, but I'm not sure they're the best. I just know how to integrate what THEY do with what I do as an instructor..

  19. I take exception to your comment, because I'm American.

  20. The state of Israel wouldn't exist without the British Empire. C'mon, Dave. The usa made it stick, but it was all conceived by the British.

  22. The hormone treatments render them sterile before the surgery. They're saving the planet by sterilizing boys and girls.

  23. I remember when I still liked John McCain - I mean, Dan Crenshaw. Sorry. I get them mixed-up.

  24. Anybody who understands history has understood that the Democrats' demagoguery for the last 50 years, to grow government and its role and scope, was bad for the country. Better late than never, but all these uneducated "educated" people...

  25. These "reformed" leftists are blithely unaware of their role in creating this malaise. Empowering government and disempowering the individual for half a century and only changing their mind when they have an epiphany (the machine rolls over THEM). Liberty and limited government aren't rocket surgery. They're common sense. Why people take so long to figure this out is beyond me.

  26. When will there be a reckoning for Cuomo? When will there be a reckoning for ANY of these Democrats?

  28. A LOT of that money's being taken up by a rash of mortgage lending.

  29. Mailing in a "Let's hate on Stelter" video for clicks. I despise Stelter but this is just a lazy cut-up for money.

  30. They're still lying, so they can go after our kids! It breaks my heart to see and anticipate the health problems that will ensue in years to come. The REAL crime was suppressing and PUNISHING early treatment of COVID for outpatients. "Come back when your lips are blue," so we can put you on a respirator and get a government check for your untimely death.

  31. When Obama abolished the Fairness Doctrine, the mask slipped. He green-lit the abandonment of pretense, and the mask slipped all the way off. I'm sure Obama felt like this was good for him, which it was, because all the networks, save one, worshipped him, and he used his bully pulpit to demonize that network, while sending his thugs to audit, surveil, and otherwise harass reporters critical of him and his evil administration. But I think Obama set the stage for the destruction of cable and other legacy news. He reveled in his power while in office and even after, but the media that were once so good at manufacturing consent behind their pretense of professionalism and objectivity are now discredited. The tail still wags the dog to an alarming degree, but the establishment is also alarmed by the decreasing length of time their big lies last. Now that they can wear their hearts on their sleeves, while pretending to be the same "objective" news, they're breaking the illusion that's been maintained for decades. Increasingly naked censorship works for a while, but the public's developing immunity.

  32. If they take money from Pfizer, the presumption that they work on behalf of Pfizer is inescapable. And everything CDC and FDA did during COVID supports that presumption.

  33. Warp Speed itself wasn't bad. But the way Democrats sought to COMPEL participation was wrong. People should've been free to Jab or not to Jab, but many were forced to participate, which wasn't what Trump had in mind. That said, even if Trump is on the side of the angels, he never even put a DENT in the permanent state or woke-ism. He wanted to get re-elected more than he really wanted to fight against the status quo. Obama policies and personnel PERMEATED his administration. And this is the guy who made his name on "You're fired!" In actual fact, he was kind of a pansy. He could've ended CRT training in the government and education in January, 2017. I could forgive some of his bad appointments if he'd fired them as soon as they showed their anti-American, identity-politics, anti-freedom, pro-war colors. He didn't.

  34. Joe's buddy will cure inflation with more slave labor in China.

  35. The alliance that re-created the state of Israel against the will and the wishes of the people living in Palestine is fragmenting, and the will to support Israel is waning in the USA. The Balfour Declaration was carried out by the Allies after cessation of hostilities in WW II. Israel was artificially created and has been a proxy for the USA (and vice versa) ever since. Yes, its neighbors have been much more aggressive towards Israel than conversely, but all concerned need to take a step back and recognize that the decades'-long hostilities are due to a provocation by victorious allies after 1945, creating the state of Israel by drawing lines on a map. What happened to self-determination? That's something the USA, Israel and other NATO (soon-to-be-former?) need to recognize, and instead of addressing the elephant in the room, they've dealt with each flare-up, piecemeal. I don't like what Hamas is doing. I think their leaders are ruthless and greedy scoundrels, who - as Rubin quoted - care more about taking the lives of Jewish babies than in preserving the lives of their own. Things are just extremely tangled. They should have held a plebiscite, years ago, BEFORE Balfour, and let the people there decide for themselves how they wished to organize themselves into a nation. Now that Israel's in existence, the gentlest course would seem to be a 2-state solution, with holy temples held jointly, in some way, shape or form. But there I go, trying to tell everybody else what's fair. My only sure response is the same, lame, piecemeal "Hamas started this one" response.

  36. The list is endless. The public just follow what Big Media and Big Tech are pushing/allowing toDAY. Whatever lies got the robber barons the win, yesterday, give way seamlessly to contradictory lies of today. It's very depressing.

  37. Meh. Talk to your man-in-the-street about Ukraine, and you quickly realize that the tail wags the dog as strongly as ever.

  38. I hated Whitlock's guts when I was still trying to believe in Scott Pioli and Todd Haley, the new general manager and coach (respectively) of the Kansas City Chiefs. In hindsight, Whitlock was closer to the truth than the public relations put out by the Chiefs. But at the time, I thought he was just a rabble rouser. But on race matters, Whitlock did inform himself and came out with some real good points from a very unique perspective. He's been pretty reasonable on these topics since his days as Chiefs beat reporter for the Kansas City Star.

  39. That's fine that you don't understand my rights, bighugejake, as long as you respect them, and understand that not everybody thinks like you do. If all you want to do is save lives, go after automobiles.

  40. I think it's easy to think of the atomization of the workforce into interest groups is what's happening, but what's really happening, underneath that very visible diversity, is a common ideology that encourages the atomization. In other words, they're all thinking exactly the same way. There's no real diversity in these outfits any more.

  41. I get my internet thru the local cable company. I'd rather be on fiber-optic network. I never watch cable t.v., though. Netflix and such for entertainment. HBO. NFL GamePass. Never watch live t.v., although when I have guests, I often turn on the morning news for them, if they want it. I'm more likely to have "The Campaigns of Alexander the Great" on YouTube than anything from the 24-hour news cycle. I saw bad things coming when Obama gave leftist anarchists a wink and a nod.

  42. Yes. I bought a membership after seeing snippets from the CNN Town Hall.

  43. The only reason whoopi doesn't see white people being beaten or killed by police is because the news doesn't report on it. But if cops beat or kill a black man, it's national news. This is the first black-on-black crime that has been widely reported on. Black-on-black violence is a damn holocaust taking place in our streets, but the only mass shootings they report on are mostly some white beta male shooting up a school after years of bullying. There are mass shootings every weekend in Chicago. So, Whoopi, knowing all that, let's talk shit all day about police brutality. You make mountains out of molehills and molehills out of mountains.

  44. I think the country is more left than the election suggests. If Hillary hadn't stolen the vote from Bernie, I think he maybe wins the nomination and the center-left coalition would've been plenty to out-vote the heartland. I think disaffected lefties stayed away in droves.

  45. Trumpsters are a pretty broad coalition, with some of the loudest being the most deplorable, mixed in with lefty provocateurs and lefty-bots saying outrageous things they imagine anybody who didn't vote Hillary must think.

  46. The more they run things, the worse everything gets.

  47. Ben Affleck: "We are endowed by our Founding Fathers with inalienable rights." What a dipstick. Making Ben Affleck look stupid in a debate is just a matter of letting him speak.

  48.  @Jake007123  : Oh, you can bulk up with weight-training and protein. But it's just easier to do steroids. And much quicker. I think Ryan Reynolds started working out a full year in advance of his role in Blade III. I wouldn't want to guess who does and who doesn't, but yeah, I'm sure some do. I'm pretty sure Affleck's a dipstick on or off of steroids.

  49. The protests in Australia will have zero impact on government policy. They will re-elect the same dipshits, because the majority still support them.

  50. No. Running cover for Joe Biden is not "just like a mafia protection racket." Yeah. They're protecting Joe. But a protection racket is when you extort money from someone in return for your protection (usually protection from you).
