Lower standards make a people stupider and weaker. In these quick highlights from Bill Whittle’s Moving Back to America series he celebrates the champions of rigor, and lambastes the declining morality that would let a U.S. military leader put a war trophy before the lives of people who helped us in Afghanistan.

Hey Scott … Please feel free to ignore anyone who questions your choices in management and operation of your enterprise. If people repeatedly dog the comment section about things like which CDN you use, what scripts are running on your site or which platform you select for a certain video then …
They’re looking to pick a fight with you because they want you to do something other than what you’re doing. That’s none of their damn business, being a member here does not entitle anyone to be privy on the operations side of this site.We pay for content and access, not for back seat driving privileges.
I’ve got every confidence in you guys that you’re doing the best you can with what you’ve got to work with. It’s not that I think you’re all that skilled at this sort of thing, yet. It’s that I know you really don’t have any choice but to do things the way you do them if you want to achieve maximum effect with minimum probability of sinking your own ship.
That’s just the way this stuff works.
Carry on and ignore the bone-picking jackals, they can’t get in if you don’t open the door. Once you do you’ll never be rid of them, they’re worse than Karens and at least as persistent. It’s the Dunning-Kruger effect in practical application and real, live technicolor splendor.
Other than commenting here, and the R/A backstage show, what other content are we paying for that others can’t get for free? As I believe Bill put it, we are their producers in a manner of speaking. For me, I’m happy simply donating. However I am much more inclined to give monetary support to video content providers if they use both YouTube and Rumble equally. Because I, like most of the 80 million free speech Rumble users, will not use YouTube.
See, I like the content, and I’d like to be able to see it all. I know the reason why backstage isn’t on Rumble…and it’s a good one. All the other content was available on Rumble when I came here. Which was one of the primary reasons I became a supporting member here. But now, this one isn’t. All I ask is why. I can’t see David’s answer as being correct, because the show is the finisher of the entire week. IDK about all these other questions you refer to, I’m not looking to pick a fight…I just want the content I’m paying for. If they don’t want to take us seriously, then we’ll take our money elsewhere.
Are you talking to me? Because I wasn’t talking to you and you accused me last week of doing exactly what you’re doing now. In fact, here are your exact words quoted verbatim just as you posted them —
I didn’t say that, you said that. I said this is a publicly available forum and if you post here anyone who has access is free to reply.
Sucks when your own words betray your duplicity and double standards, huh?
Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. Like every other ex-doper/dry drunk I’ve ever seen you traded one degradation for another and there is no low to which you will not sink. This is a common state for someone who while they may be physiologically full grown has retarded their emotional development with substance abuse. Better open your coloring book, chew a few crayons and go find a meme. Quick lil’ guy! Drop a dumb cartoon on us!
You “… don’t want to pick a fight …”? Really? Then stop picking fights. It’s just sad that you’re not smart enough to see you’re doing the very thing you say you don’t want to. Clearly you have self-control issues. Anyone who doesn’t understand has only to look at our conversation on the same topic last week and your references to me on this page to see that. Too bad, you refusing to admit the truth does not make it any less true.
Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot you’re a liar and you lied for everyone to see last week. My bust.
As for this nonsense you posted in reply to a conversation you yourself said you should not be posting to …
What a load of steaming, smelly BS.
You’ve already seen this content on Rumble in the full videos posted there. If you want to see this content all you have to do is go to Rumble and watch it. So it’s not that you want to watch it over again on Rumble. Because you can do that if you want to.
Your obvious, real problem is that you don’t like the fact that this particular series, Week in Review, alone of all the productions of this enterprise, is not on Rumble and you want it to be there. Tough luck for you, you don’t run this place and you don’t make any decisions except to be here or not.
I asked you and you never answered me … “Why? What’s it to you?”
I no longer care what your reason is. That was a civil question asked politely in an attempt to help you get over whatever is gnawing at your anal sphincter. I don’t care why you seem to think you can demand this nonsense. Whatever your reason for demanding this, it’s irrelevant compared to the enterprise’s reasons for not doing it. It’s their site, not yours.
Your petty, childish threats of “taking your money elsewhere” are pathetic. You expose your shallow nature and in doing so humiliate yourself unawares.
If not having a weekly recap of what was posted on MB2A is enough to get you to “take your money elsewhere” then you’re not much of a member, a man, or a Conservative. You’re a whining man-child who wants to get his own way and what you’re doing is the equivalent of laying on the floor, kicking your heels, holding your breath and banging your head on the carpet.
Here, knowing you’re a little slow I’ll do you a favor and translate that above paragraph into something you can understand, what you’re doing is …
“WAAAA! Waaaa! Waaaa, I want things my way and if I don’t get that I’m taking my dollies and my dishes and leaving!”
That’s not the stance of someone who wants to promote and advance the cause of Conservatism. It’s the tantrum of a spoiled, whiny little school girl.
I’ve followed Bill Whittle’s work for years. As soon as he launched this site and I could afford to join I did. I don’t give a flying rats used rat chow jetsam orifice what platform these guys use to get the word out. It’s the word not the platform that’s important.
Have you not noticed that you’re the only person commenting on which platform Week in Review is published to?
I know you don’t realize this so let me spell it out in clear terms even you can understand …
You’re just not that important. Get over yourself.
Or quit, I’m sure this site won’t miss your contribution. Neither the money you spend here nor the puerile attempt you make at punching above the weight you don’t have will be seen as a loss. By anyone. Staff or Member.
Make it quick and don’t let the hatch impact your posterior as you effect your rapid egress.
Begone with you. Your crying is tedious and unmanly.
Hey Scott…I’ll ask one last time…why is it, that you air all the MB2A’s on both video platforms (YouTube/Rumble), but don’t air these “Week in Review” episodes on Rumble? If there is some logical answer, I’m not getting it.
How ’bout this reasoning …
LOL. It ain’t rocket science.
That doesn’t answer the question as to why it’s not on Rumble. It’s been like this for some time. All the MB2A episodes air on both platforms, but the Week in Review only airs on YouTube. Except twice when Scott was away.
It’s more than simply an advertisement for the other episodes. It ties them all together with a special wrap up.
Actually, it does. You apparently cannot connect the dots, and I will not be dragged into a pointless debate.
Then why did you answer the question which was not addressed to you, and in the same kind of snarky attitude ACTS always uses?
The weekly wrap up is more than just a promotion. Bill takes time to choose and edit specific segments of the weeks episodes, to deliver a specific point. All I want to know is, why isn’t it also on Rumble. Your answer does not successfully explain it. But at least you attempted to give an answer..not a good one, but still not quite as bad as ACTS.
80 million users on Rumble, most of which will not use YouTube. I’m one of them. I was hoping Scott read comments, but I guess I’ll have to ask directly. But thanks for your kind words…
Did you see what I said below about the difference between stupidity and ignorance? Here’s a subtle hint concerning the person you’re arguing with … He’s not ignorant, it’s the other thing.
I know this because I wrote paragraph after paragraph, post after post literally showering him in information. He doesn’t want information, he wants to tell BillWhittle.com what to do. The question about what platform Week in Review is posted to is just bait to draw the staff out where he can snipe at them for using YouTube.
He thinks he’s being terribly clever and that we can’t see this. He has to keep pretending that’s not what he’s doing . Because he’s not ignorant, it’s the other thing.
When it’s pointed out to him that it’s none of his business how the site is operated and he’s not owed any explanation at all, he gets very irrational.
Foaming at the mouth and accusing me of diabolical intentions is absolutely an irrational and wild-eyed disconnect between reality and answering a simple question. The question being …
Why do you care? What’s it to you?
OK, that’s two questions but they both come from the same root. Doesn’t matter, he won’t answer either of them.
For asking this (the-other-one-not-ignorant) nincompoop that — I was treated to seeing him get out his coloring book and start eating his crayons. He buys the cheap crayons with only 10 in the box and he’s gnawed them all to nubs.
I’m speaking metaphorically of course, channeling Bugs Bunny here – “Nah, dis maroon wouldn’t know a metaphor from a semaphore. What’s up, Doc?”
I too posted a note to Scott Ott above. If Scott Ott has an ounce of sense, and I believe he’s got even more than that, he’ll ignore this nitwit.
Or not. I’m not adverse to pulling the wings off this particular fly some more. Or you can if you like but I already got some of the best wing-pulling this bug had to offer. So you’re just getting sloppy seconds.
😉
I was going to post a response, then saw that both David and ACTS replied exactly as I would have. If you can’t see that these summaries are not for the members . then you are just being obtuse.
“Not for the members”? Mkay. So you also believe they are promotional only? That’s not what I got from them when I could watch them. I got the sense that Bill would piece them together to arrive at a grand take-a-way for the end of the week. I looked forward to them. Maybe I have OCD or something, but I usually don’t stop watching a show at the cliff hangers. I like to see the end results.
Stupidity and ignorance are not the same thing.
Stupidity is the inability to learn. It is manifest in lower IQ people who do not have the capacity to assimilate and apply information. People who refuse to assimilate and apply information are stupid because they insist on maintaining their ignorance in the face of reality.
Ignorance is the lack of information. Someone who is not stupid can assimilate and apply information and then they are no longer ignorant.
To put it more simply —
Ignorance is a condition that can be cured by the addition of information, stupidity is terminal from an intellectual standpoint in all cases.
How does this apply to what Bill is saying about lowering test scores increases stupidity?
By not requiring lesser ignorance the door is opened to the more stupid.
