Right Angle: Backstage (12-15-2020)

Are you ready for your shot? No, not that shot…it’s your weekly injection of humor, hijinks and stream of consciousness conversation, masquerading as a meeting to determine the topics and direction for this week’s Right Angle episodes.

Our Members are the soul of this operation, and this show is just for you.

I’m Not anti vaccine .. Although I AM anti THIS vaccine.. Why the push and the threats of covid passports. For a virus that has a 99.8 % survival rate? And shutting down the economy of the 99.8%, (With their fraudulent numbers and propaganda) Shouldn’t just the people at risk be encouraged to get vaccinated instead of everyone being coerced with threats of freedom being stopped? Apart from Enumerated Rights of Freedom… When has anything anywhere in history been done for 0.2% of the people by the political establishments? Are we supposed to believe that the DNC- RNC and these corporations suddenly had their hearts grow like the Grinch who stole Christmas and their compassion is just spilling over to save lives? The Same people when they aren’t busy saving us from a 99.8% survival rate, They are backing planned parenthood and passing laws to kill babys who survived their abortions?.. Yeah okay..I believe it

As a graduate of Jacksonville University, I must protest. Of course, I moved away in 1968 and have only been back once. It’s a little like Kansas City – a great place to live, but I wouldn’t want to visit there.
Oh my – the paper mill. When the wind was just right…

What Scott Ott may be is a Conventional Thinker, too eager for as easy a return to a world that did not exist, when the Supreme Courts either entirely ducked any controversy or dived headlong into it, thinking they were thinking about the Nation when they were in fact more focused on what they were either too uncomfortable doing or too eager to do.

That is not Condescending. That is tragically Human. And as Common as Dirt.

Maybe.

But that’s delivery. And maybe real and maybe just perceived.

The content is Conventional Thinking.

Maybe wait for a few more similar interactions to settle on what his intent is. It does you no harm to wait.

I have found thst it does do harm to react too strongly after too few interactions.

Some see the dice. Some see the game. We all see it from our own set of bleachers.
I do not think he means what you think he means.

So Steve, because cowardice and dereliction has been acceptable in the past then it is A-okay for any need in the future. The Supremes don’t have to really do their job, don’t have to stay the public trust because, well, it is unpleasant and hard?
Why do you sound annoyed Steve? Is having real conversations, well, unpleasant and hard?
They are cowards, lazy cowards Scott.

There are two. Both highly effective. One has just been approved by the FDA.

Do they work?

Covid is a Flu. Flu are as adaptable as Cockroaches. Exterminators need to change out what they spray every year because what worked in January does not kill enough Cockroaches in December.

So do these Vaccines work? Maybe.

Will they work next year? Probably not.

Maybe it cannot hurt to get the shot.

Unless you are Pregnant.

I have heard that the Vaccine and being Pregnant are a bad mix. And a potentially dangerous one.

But that, aside from an ache in the upper arm (common to many vaccines) is all the bad I have heard about the vaccine itself.

I am very concerned about the pressure to get one and carry around the proof.

Is Covid as bad as Measles? To date I have not heard of people going Blind after contracting Covid – and Blindness was a real and common after-effect of Measles.

There is no “need” to have medical system, we can just leave people tough it out or die. We have hard evidence that humankind survived without it.
OTOH people want to live longer for some weird reason, and look for ways.

Wow! Are you saying he was a Hitler Youth?
… not getting your ‘American’ reference, but then I’m an American, so I may be oblivious to the difference (ala, ‘we don’t have an accent, you do!’)

Not so much Hitler youth so much as growing up in an environment utterly devoid of respect for the rule of law where the collective “good” was exalted over the rights of the individual. The American bit was as referenced by Scott at the start of the video, usually in England we spell “math” with an s.

Just one disagreement. 50% of the people are not boiling mad over the takeover of the country. It’s more like 80%. The media, etc. work very hard to make it seem like we are an evenly divided country, but we are not!

There are a dozen legal teams not just one with Giuliani at the head. Most of the court cases are being done by skype or zoom at the courts insistence. So there is no court footage. Many lower courts have simply refused to take the case, delayed the process for days or declared that no one has standing. Also Giuliani is off the cases because someone made very sure he caught Covid 19 last week.

The mechanism of Dueling electors is still playing out the last time they had that it went down to the 18th of Jan, two days before the swearing in. Harris has not left her senate seat. There is no public ceremony planned. Biden keeps getting turned down for several of his most important and prestigious cabinet posts. Its not over.

I have a nightmare vision of a tank with a Texas flag rolling past the supreme court in Washington and calling do “we have standing yet?”
Hopefully they are there to rescue congress from the Antifa/ BLM people President Harris put in uniform.

For the several months I’ve been a member here, I have enjoyed “liveblogging” these Backstage shows – pausing the video and commenting on whatever has just been said. I’ve always aimed at humor doing that.

But now, if you were to picture me watching, I would look just like Bill. I have had it with the status quo. The election was stolen and it appears nothing is going to be done about it. I find nothing humorous about anything to do with the situation we’re in.

I. Am. Pissed.

So I won’t be commenting much going forward. I’m going all in on Bill’s Moving Back to America plan. I’ll be here and everywhere I can, working to restore the nation we should have.

That is all.

Thanks, Emma. It’s more that the nature of my comments is going to change. There’s nothing to laugh about any more when it comes to the future of our country.

Bill has been spot on in his MB2A series. Time to get to work.

I had to cringe quite a bit during this broadcast. I am hoping the three of these guys whom we’ve spent over a decade watching, listening and learning can make it through these next few months. I enjoy thoughtful disagreements and the growth and learning which can come from such discussions. This, however, just made me cringe. I am with Bill on this one. I can’t simply go back to political discourse that’s fun and happy and let’s learn what they other side has to say. We saw what happened. Chuck Todd ran total interference for the body formally known as Senator Joe Biden. George Stephanolpolus, Lester Holt, all of CNN. We watched it. And that’s just the broadcast media. Twitter and FB blackouts.
So when I’m watching one of our R/A guys saying “where’s the evidence”, I just gotta cringe.
I can’t go back to happy equivalent of political cat videos. Not for a few months anyway.
This was evidence. Blackout.

There hasn’t been an episode of Bill Whittle Now since November 27. And notice the way Bill has been answering Scott lately. (He has barely spoken to Steve at all.)

I get it. This is goddamn serious. We can’t go back to business as usual. I don’t blame Scott or Steve for being who they are – they’re not really doing anything wrong. But we have to do something along the lines of what Bill is describing in MB2A and “the usual” is no good any more.

I think that they need to present a united front on their attitude towards dealing with the topics of these videos. Disagreement is practically dissension these days as we can’t afford to put forward anything even marginally progressive due to the prevailing 70 points wind blowing due Left.

If they want to be humorous, then they should pick topics / make videos specifically for that. Then Bill can crack a smile.

Also. as much as I like Scott, I think that he is trying to stick back together a broken vase with superglue when we’ve reached a point where it’s not simply the handle that got knocked off as it hit the ground. America has been rolled off a cliff and then run over by a tank. No amount of glue is going to fix it. Time to grind that into clay and start again.

Stay pissed.

Use your fury to work at a level much lower than many Conservatives have been thinking about for a long time – too damned long – to make state elections, the ones that count most of all, as difficult as possible to fix except by ways that can be easily proven.

If you live in Georgia, use some of that fury to play John Madden with your friends instead of holding your nose for one last time to give Mtch McConnell a Fake Majority that you already know will be of no value to you,

I heard in another Podcast the hose relating how his friend wants to make this election the last one where Conservatives carry an ungrateful Republican Party over the line.

I say make 3 November the last time any Conservative did that.

If Mitch McConnel so admires Joe Biden’s long career of Public Service, let him enjoy the last few years of that long career – and Goof & Hard.

Bill, it’s NOT “over”…the Trump campaign still has numerous lawsuits in court and can still reintroduce the Texas case but on Trump’s behalf. PLUS Republican state legislators are now taking up the cause legislatively in their own states … Not saying “winning” is a certainty… but nor is “losing”.

Scott,
I would share your disgust with the “two party system” if we actually had two different parties. We don’t. There is only one party in DC and it couldn’t care less about America or the American People.

Is it because, like Bill, you think he has caved to the perception that this election has lost?
I, like Bill, am mad at the election results and the resulting legal battles, but, unlike Scott, I don’t think it’s all over yet. Not until Jan 20…

Guys, please read Glenn Reynolds article in New York Post “It’s time for the deplorables to become the unconquerables”. This will not be over in January. Our side, the America Lovers, have only begun to fight. That’s what this site is all about

Bobby, please take my word that Scott Is NOT a liberal. I have been here for years, and I am telling you that Scott is an intelligent, thoughtful man who loves his country and God with his whole being. Both of which are impossible for a liberal. Take a deep breath and listen closely to everything he says.

Gents:

  • Jacksonville is “Redneck Gotham”.
  • (Scott: Jacksonville’s band is Lynyrd Skynyrd).
  • There are way too many rednecks here to prevent Deutchebank from turning us socialist.

But, I will tell you, Downtown Jacksonville does roll up the sidewalks at 5:30 PM.

Deborah, I have been so emotional the last few weeks that I have wondered what is wrong with me. Glad it’s not just me

I’ve been emotional, too, but unfortunately, mine is more anger – which can result in tears of frustration…

I see Bill seething with repressed anger, and know that a great silent majority of our country is likewise seething, and just hope it doesn’t boil over into violence…

The antidote for anger is action, but but but… legal action.

Skepticism, please! I understand that, though we’re an amazing community, some of us are “math challenged.” I am not. Each time I hear “__ million doses” (divide by two), I want to shout: HOW OFTEN? Every three months? Every six months?*

Have you heard ANYTHING about frequency of vaccination?! A possible scenario: A bunch of people is protected for three to six months; another bunch of people is protected for three to six months; another bunch of people is protected for three to six months. How – and when – would the first group know that their VAI had waned? Ditto the second and third groups?

As (a) more people are vaccinated and (b) some continue to get – and recover from – the disease, we’ll learn more. I’m reluctant to make a prediction but … I expect there to be MANY cases of disease after “vaccination.”

*A duckduckgo search on immunity after having had the disease: “up to six months.” On vaccine-acquired immunity (VAI): “at least three months.”

Caveat: Our knowledge of immune system memory is limited; antibody level may wane but there are other ways in which the body can “remember” and thus recognize a virus again in the future. Yet another factor.

Deborah, you seem knowledgeable about this subject. How common is it for a vaccine or illness to only confer a few months of immunity? I thought immunity lasts for years. I have never heard of this type of scenario

To respond somewhat obliquely, initial estimates of the duration of vaccine-acquired immunity (VAI) are just that – estimates. Once a vaccine has gone from “ready to deploy” to in use, the actual duration (range) becomes much better known. So, we just have to wait. No, I do not know of any vaccine that only confers a few months of immunity. However, there’s much evidence that VAI for pertussis is quite short ….

The CDC recommends that the pertussis vaccine be given at 2, 4, 6 and 15 months of age, followed by a booster at 4 to 6 years of age, a booster at 7 to 10 years of age and a booster between 11 and 18 years of age. That indicates – to me – that VAI for pertussis is not very long, especially for the very young. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/pertussis/recs-summary.html In addition, a recent study of pertussis vaccination shows that effectiveness declines rapidly after 4 yrs. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27672225/

In general, the duration of VAI is shorter than disease-acquired immunity. I’ve been reading on this topic for many years and I have run across no exceptions.

Another caveat: If there are multiple strains of a disease, questions of efficacy (percent who acquire immunity) and duration (of VAI) need to be strain-specific.

Thank you for all the facts, Deborah. Since I believe that the whole COVID thing is political, the facts don’t matter to most people, but they do to us.

The strain is definitely showing on all three. Scott is trying to be his optimistic self but it does appear that he is worried. His comment at the end, basically a pox on both their houses, concedes that maybe their are no good guys at all. He has always been a not as bad or as good as it seems and tries to find the best in situations.
I a glad Bill has the new show to channel his energies because he is really at a boil and once the liquid boils off, bad things happen.
Steve seems like the type that gets it out then is good for a little while until it comes back again.
I find myself being like that (maybe it the whiskey). Get pissed, shout at someone, then ok for a while until something else pisses me off.

Um, I find caps a little too unsatisfying a volume for my favorite bourbon. A shot, neat, is just the right amount for me.

To that comment about Steve. During the rather heated couple of moments, I focused on Steve. Body language says a lot, along with head turns, some audible “uh huhs” and a tangential interjection which was almost a ‘break it up’ which was, in my opinion, thankfully necessary.
At the end, I just heard frustration coming through. Equivocation Bites though. Not for me.
Last time I looked , it wasn’t my “side” working with Soros front groups, it wasn’t my “side” changing laws for mass email ballots, and it wasn’t my “side” putting up boards on windows of ballot tabulation locations. It was not my ” side” burning cities, setting up Chaz autonomous zones, and defunding the police. This is NOT democrat v republican…..
Watch Andrew Breitbart’s 2012 CPAC speech. Just go watch it. In 2012 it was not Antifa. It was Occupy Wall Street. But Breitbart had his finger on it. “You are either with us, or you are with Occupy!”.
And for those of us old enough to recall, before that it was Code Pink. Before that it was the Seattle Protests of the GATT. Same people, different labels.

There are a few comments below (above?) about the emotional toll the election aftermath is having on our team. Without getting into whether the election results were tainted (I believe they were), my observation is: Now we can probably all understand, and maybe sympathize if our general senses of fair play will handle it, what our fellow Americans on the Left who went into total meltdown in 2016 felt like on election night and following. They were very sure they would win that election. Those of us on the Right had high hopes for a win in 2020, especially at the end when it seemed the tide was turning for good. On election night we thought we saw evidence that we were home free. And then we woke up the next morning to the living nightmare we have yet to wake from. I don’t expect us to put on obscene headgear and screech to the skies, but we are learning just how stressful it is to remain civil and calm when your sincerest hopes for the future of this Nation are dashed to pieces. I give the Left no quarter on how they have behaved. But I do understand how they felt. They just don’t have the internal moral framework to behave with dignity. I hope we maintain our resolve to fix the system while maintaining our dignity and (for lack of a better term) good manners. I add this to the long list of things we can show the world to prove we have the winning side of the argument. We can handle a loss and keep our integrity, while working to build for the Return to America.

I seem to remember that also. I can understand not wanting to die or see family members hurt, but I was in the military so I have a different perspective. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one. Giving in to threats usually has far more repercussions than we can imagine. Usually means far more people will die or suffer than those originally targeted by said threat. Anyway . . .

Bill is ABSOLUTELY not into this. Seems to be barely keep the growing angst behind his lips. It almost is becoming awkward the clearly differing mindsets of Bill to Scott and Steve. I hope this unit isn’t fracturing with this latest stress of our stolen election.

I think we saw some of Steve’s angst early on when he said “GD” and didn’t look at all happy. Perhaps Scott & Steve’s “Full Level” hasn’t quite reached Bill’s. I totally understand being “sick” of all the mess to the point of wanting nothing to do with most humans anymore. But, I choose to do something instead to bring back some sanity.

Chris Pratt takes the best wholesome super hero. Gadot is actually a pretty lefty progressive. I’ll give her best looking modern day super hero though 🙂

You guys really should do a show on the Trans movement – the radicals need to be exposed. The “love is love” crowd need to see how wrong they were when we Normals said it wouldn’t end there. Let them die on the hill of drugging and mutilating children

They need to be exposed and we need to stop being silent about it. Children should be left alone to grow up and then choose what they want to do. AMBLA & other pedo org’s have been pushing this stuff for decades.

Many, if not most, trans kids have sick mothers. When dad objects, some looney judge takes away his parental rights. This is a travesty.

Re: the Supreme Court and Texas – the Dems knew full well that the election results were going to end up before the SCOTUS sooner or later, in one form or another, and I firmly believe that Chuck Schumer was sending them a very clear message weeks before the election when he bought up the subject of packing the court. If the court packing notion could only hurt the Dems at the polls, why on earth would he even bring it up? I believe it was because Schumer knew the fix was in, and it wouldn’t matter. As Dick Morris put it, it was a shot across the bow: you Supremes would be well advised to stay out of this unless you want to spend the holiday vacation rearranging the the bench to make room for four new chairs. The Supreme Court may have caved in out of a sense of self-preservation. But cowardice, nonetheless…

Mr. Ott, I hope one of you tells Mr Whittle the following:
I believe that Mr Trump was mildly surprised by the Texas case. I believe that from before the 2016 election, his goal has been to fix the swamp. I believe that anything short of Jan 6 would be ineffective compared to what is in store for them. Do you not find it curious that ALL THREE of his SCOTUS picks went against it? He is dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s with all the court actions to date. I remain convinced that January will see many many people charged, fired, disgraced, and run out of office. I do not think this is genius-level 3-d chess from President Trump, I think that a large group of people are smarter than just one, and that Trump knew 5 years ago a plan would be needed. I believe that this is why he is here, in public office. Cinncinatus (sp?) is still revered, and so Mr Trump would like to be. Tell Mr Whittle to calm down about the SCOTUS decision. There will be time and enough should these events not come to pass as I believe, and he can surely find something better to discuss in his segment this week.
As always, may God bless and keep you and yours in the perilous times.

The SCOTUS needs to be on their game when Pence counts the alternate legislative certified (PA, GA, MI, WI, AZ, NV, and NM) votes on January 6th instead of the secretary of state certified votes. Pence’s count will re-elect Trump. The Congress would be free to disallow that count, but then each state congressional delegation has one vote. There are more Republican states than Democrat so Congress would likely re-elect Trump. The Democrats could then appeal to the SCOTUS.
What times we live in. I’m looking forwards to Trump’s second term.

The indictments flowing from DOJ in 2021 will be epic!
Not Barr’s style. I think that is why he resigned.

Alito and Thomas wanted to consider the case. The latter three appointments have betrayed all of us. And after all the support given to Kavanaugh he opts out like a pussy.

Its not even “the” cold, but “a” cold. Can’t cure a million variant variables.

For Scott, Gal Gadot is Israeli or Jewish so her name being pronounced that makes sense. (also see the controversy of her playing Cleopatra [I think it was] and being closer genetically than some of the other people put forward).

The Wisconsin Supreme Court kinda did the same the National one did, turning down the case on technicalities and not saying anything one way or another about the merits. :’-(

To Scott… the Obamacare repeal really could only happen after Trump was elected, otherwise the veto would block it during 2014-2016. McCain was unhappy with how Trump treated him during the election period and that was one of the reasons he claimed to be willing to vote to repeal but then voted against and the bill failed.

Steve’s Ars’ mention related to the Eu, (I think the name GDPA) that caused all of the web sites to put on the notes about cookie policies is another example of the EU trying to protect consumers.

Bill – the 3rd party check of the Dominion machines was mentioned in something I read linked from Insta yesterday. Author pointed out that the guy writing the report listing the 80 ish % errors was the same lawyer that confused MI and MN voting precincts, so there might be other errors.

We are faced with hard times ahead regardless of who is sworn in Jan 20th. Now is not the time to point fingers or say who is to blame now is the time to survive so we can have time to evaluate.

I think Scott’s question was WHY Trump’s team didn’t bring stuff like the 68% failure rate up in its lawsuit. I think it was “discovered” after the SC “decision” & the state level “we don’t want to hear it”, so that’s why Trump’s team hadn’t brought it up in their lawsuit.

I think the “village shame” Bill mentioned should be employed by all the Americans to their “representatives” and “judicial” and “AG’s”. Not that it would change anything, but if they become piraha’s and no one does what they say it would be a start.

I think every business that has suffered hardship due to a political decision made, should decide to not allow patronage of those who implemented it, much like the NY restaurants are doing.
