Nope… all I see in Steve’s background is one large silver round thing that looks like an eye… please don’t talk about it if it’s going to be cut out of the view!

Funny how bearded dude, has 2 cents to make this a right to left conversation..What should also be discussed is how rich Demo Crouts survive with tax paying subsidized programs, lazy ass people get free money, filthy greedy narcisist rich get money, I get the bills. Gm, ford, chrysler not even american , Companies propped up with hard earned dollars to keep the socialist , COMMUNIST GOV. KEEPS THE ROCK GOIN UP HILL, screw the fags, lesibian, lazy ass all ethnic groups who want redemption , I am so sorry you all believe that black , brown etc. all get screwed, maybe invest in themselves, think for themselves and quit being manipulated by hyprocsy corrupt gov. officials,, close the marxist , communist , socialist schools, they absolutely teach lies and get paid huge, students believe they will be taken care of, WRONG THEY WILL BE TAKEN OUT, THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW.

I think Rubin, Milo etc might want to point out to you their conservative credentials. Best not to tar everyone with the same brush, I find.

Would you refrain, please, from personal attacks? Opinions, issues, and disagreements are fine; Name-calling and personal attacks are not. IMO.

Clark, I get your frustration, and I agree with many of your points. But……one of the thing I love about Bill Whittle is that he is an individualist. He looks at each individual as a special case and doesn’t judge someone as a member of a group. I think Bill is on to something very important, and that’s why I would love to see you make your points and state these truths without resorting to name calling at groups of people. After all, that’s what they want us to do! I hope you continue to post

About the weapons. Back in 2008 I took my son to Boston to show him all the American Heritage sites. As we approached the USS Constitution, we had to go thru a metal detector and I had forgotten to leave my 3″ folding Buck knife in the car. I was wearing my USS Wasp veterans cap at the time, but they wanted me to return the knife to the car before I went aboard. One of the high ranking enlisted men doing the inspections said “It’s okay, he’s Navy!” and they let me go thru with the knife. I impressed them both by saluting the ensign, then the OOD before asking ” Permission to come aboard, Sir?” I wasn’t just a tourist, but a retired Navy man with respect for an operational ship-of-the-line.

Bill, you did a Firewall a while back where you talked about “the wagon.” Productive people pulled the wagon while the old, infirm, and disabled got to ride. Eventually freeloaders start hopping in and you become a sucker if you continue to pull. Walking away from pushing the rock up the hill reminds me of walking away from pulling the wagon.

There’s flammable, inflammable, and non-inflammable.

Why are there three?

Seems to me two should be enough. A thing either flams or it doesn’t flam.

Was there a drop of errant paint on the door of the Sistine Chapel? It was merely a foreshadow of the colors dabbled and spilled on RightAngle: Backstage.

My dad first gave me permission to carry a pocket knife when I was in 6th grade (I had carried one surreptitiously for a couple of years before that) but only after ascertaining that I was proficient in its safe and ethical use. I don’t believe I ever gave him any reason to regret having extended the privilege to me.
I’m now 67 and I am never without a pocket knife. It is the most useful of tools although I may give Steve’s Zippo habit a try as well.

I think sometiems in the cross talk they don’t hear everything each other says, but we get the audio spliced together after the fact and can hear them all simultaneously.

I have a small flashlight multi-tool with knife…But now this video has given me “permission” to buy many pen knives and/or knife gadets! 1 for each room!…maybe TWO per room!

Another pleasant Backstage gents. Just a couple of comments if I may. Please do not use the coin pocket on a pair of jeans to carry a pocket watch, unless said watch is of no actual value, or is perhaps simply a wristwatch with a grip fob instead of a wrist band. The reasoning is that your hip bone protrudes right behind that coin pocket, and most counters and workbenches are at just about that same height, thus causing an awful lot of nice old pocket watches that were so carried, to have dented and caved in cases. A door jam also works well as the opposing vise jaw to do the same damage, and just how many times do you find in life that you have bumped hard with your hip into a door jam!?!?
Next topic concerns what Bill is now appropriately calling the California Virus (perhaps better called Kaliphoney Virus). There has long been, for many decades, a phrase that covers this evil plague, that has been found throughout the nation on bumper-stickers, window signs, t-shirt and no doubt elsewhere as well. Pick the State of your choice to fill in the xxxx’s and it goes like this: “Do Not Californicate XXXXXX”!!! So in Scott’s case, and most appropriately for current demographic shifts, it should read: “Do Not Californicate Texas!”

If any family member of mine proceeds to preach to me over the Thanksgiving dinner table of how oppressive my skin color or other such benefits of circumstance are bestowed upon me, I will summarily tell them to get the hell out of my house.

As found on the bathroom wall at Virginia Tech in the mid-1980s, flush twice, it is a long way to UVA. (I am a HOKIE by Marriage) I am thankful for UVA Hospital, they kept me alive because I was born with a complex heart defect. Whenever we go for my appointment, my hubby tells me how much he HATES UVA.

Ha! You wouldn’t happen to remember where that bathroom was located, do you? I was a Hokie in the mid-80s…

Cool! Hokies of the same vintage all over the place ’round here. I didn’t run in aerospace circles, but if you were into the BBS scene maybe we ran across each other back then.

They were supposed to tear down the tower two years ago. But the record freshman class made it so that they couldn’t. My daughter is a Jr now.
What did he major in? I was aerospace eng.

Ah, a common tale. The poor arch boys always looked like they hadn’t slept for a week. Everyone I knew in arch said the classes were absolute killers.

Surprised I didn’t see it. I was in East AJ ’round that time and had some, er, friends in Slusher.

I think I used it a bit, but when I needed an editor I used the Netscape Composer more, IIRC. Did a lot of HTML in notepad though. I have a customer that still clings to his Microsoft Home Publishing 2000 program. Recently was able to get it installed in Windows 10 for him. Surprised me a little.

My dad always watched football, baseball, and basketball by turning the sound off on the TV and turning on his AM radio and listening to the local channel’s call of the game. He did that starting at least in the 1970s. And I don’t think he ever watched ESPN. Of course, he was only interested in following his local teams. And then, in the last years of his life, he stopped watching everything but basketball.

TalkSport radio in the UK did that. They couldn’t afford any rights, so they watched the game and gave commentary on it, and you watched the TV coverage with the sound off, next to the radio in like manner.

I would like to ask Bill or Scott for more content. I love Bill’s specials and am eagerly awaiting his next on American Hero’s. If I have heard correctly. I would ask that some one would look at “A Miracle the changed the world. The 5000 year leap” by W. Cleon Skousen. These 28 principles should be taught in every school. I find myself drawn to this book in these trying times and marveling at the sheer and utter awesomeness of our founding fathers. There intellect and wisdom rivals Solomon and I think it was Divinely inspired.

Bill has another series with Esoteric Radio coming soon. (soon in Bill time could still be awhile)

We had that set up to happen automatically, but I just checked for the first time since August, and it looks like it stopped. I’ll try to restart it.

Bill, I’m worn out too. And, so is Glenn Beck! I just watched him lament nearly the same sentiment as you of being ‘done’ with all the bull crap and just wanting a peaceful fulfilling life without the constant threat to everything in life.
From my point of view, not only do we have to decide how to prevent the CA Zombies from spreading their lunacy but how do we get these Satanically obsessed Libtards to leave us alone. They live to torture us. Ignoring them I don’t think is enough. And the idea of voting them out just takes too long, so they can continue to set up their Globalist agenda of total control and subjugation forever.
I’ve lost all hope of changing these people’s minds as they truly have ‘mental disorders’ just like Michael Savage describes Liberals. And, who are these people going to pick on after Trump is no longer here? We know it will be us! AOC has already told us that we’re on the ‘list’ and they want to continue to ‘go after’ President Trump and his family because they enjoy injecting misery on all who don’t want anything to do with them.
So what do you do with a rabid badger that’s constantly trying to bite you? Shoot it…no more biting! Inexpensive and PERMENANT. I know this is not morally acceptable to most as the poor badger doesn’t know it’s rabid (but apparently likes the thrill of being rabid once experienced) and should have a chance to get well. I’m afraid I don’t give a damn! These disgusting, flesh eating Zombies have devoured our Beloved Country and care nothing of it’s uniqueness and goodness. I say condemn them to the Star Chamber to experience all they have done to us.
I suppose I should shut up now and plan my miserable retirement that once had a grand bucket list to fulfill. And, be on standby when they come for me because I refuse to obey.
Terrific Conversation tonight, you three. I’m elated to have found you and look forward to many more thought provoking discussions. Till then……….

I am retired and would sincerely love to get back to doing the things I did way back in 2019 but what would that be? Take a cruise ? Nope , pop down to Florida or Hawaii?nope, attend a wedding? , Disneyworld? Nope ,nope, how about a family barbecue ? Nope. Movie? Restaurant? Visit friends or family? Nope, nope, nope. The Covid fascists have used this survivable, manageable disease to turn us into the Soviet Union where we’re never sure what is legal and internal passports are required to move around . They have no intention of ever stopping the torment. We have been ‘fundamentally changed’

The point is that we must ALL refuse to comply. There are insufficient resources and time to incarcerate all of us who civilly disobey.

Don’t forget … zombies require head shots, but rabid badgers require avoiding the head so a brain inspection for the disease may occur.

Live bloggish comments as they come.
To Scott… We’re not being fired? I think that’s our line.
Proud to say I have 2 knives in reach, another on the wall and one in the bag I take with me every day. I am waiting for someone to stop me when entering some “no weapons” building an asking if I have a weapon.
Milwaukee’s murder rate has topped the last record… from 1991.

To Bill’s topic, I had the possibly optimistic idea that if the Democrats did take over, win an election, I hoped it was total and sweeping so that they could get all of the idiot policies in and totally ruin things, and then we could point out just how bad things were and they wouldn’t be elected again for a generation. The idea Bill has pointed out a few times, that we have been without danger for so long that people have forgotten what threats are. It would mean a pretty big hole the country would have to climb out but hopefully having learned out lesson it would stick. If we can use California to teach everyone else, that would be just fine.

My answer to someone asking me if I have a weapon is “I am the weapon. I possess several knives and sharp objects, but they aren’t dangerous unless I make them so.”

Yup, there’s the “we need to classify you as a lethal weapon” quip from the movie.

I can also hold up a hand and ask at what belt level does this qualify as a weapon? I also have a couple screw drivers that are nearly as sharp (the little Phillips head certainly makes a good puncture). Those little “no weapon” signs are just so silly.

sadly, people don’t learn from California. They think, we would implement that foolish policy better.
The Progressive counter factual is “it should have worked, so failure must be the fault of the wreakers”.

Now we have all those already tiring end of the decade summations to look forward to but this time with an extra added guilt trip attached with a smattering of retribution.

I find it best to ignore such tripe. It’s never worth my time to participate in intelligent exchanges with unarmed people.

In the 1980s, A&W tried to compete with the McDonald’s Quarter Pounder by selling a 1/3 pound burger at a lower price. The product failed, because most customers thought the 1/4 pound was bigger.

That is why it is useless to argue online.
