Greta Thunsberg’s dramatic performance before the United Nations and the U.S. Congress raises disturbing questions about the Progressive use and abuse of children for political purposes. What possessed FoxNews to apologize for, and then ban, guest Michael Knowles of TheDailyWire.com, after he accurately mentioned that the teen Thunberg suffers mental illness. Et tu, FoxNews?
Bill Whittle Now analyzes the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats offered by the Democratic presidential candidates now locked in a 3-way tie for second place (first in the hearts of their Democratic countrymen). Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and former Vice President Joe Biden, each come to the challenge of winning the Democratic presidential nomination with different advantages and handicaps.
John Blake at CNN says that President Trump has been better for Progressives than Barack Obama ever was. Not only have the 45th president’s policies and Tweets generated a ‘Trumplash’ that drives women, Blacks, Latinos and Asians into the arms of the Democrats, but he’s actually reinforced the idea that big government can be good.
National Rifle Association (NRA) CEO Wayne LaPierre comes under fire for lavish spending on his own luxurious lifestyle, and board Members depart. Is there a reasonable, work-related justification, for LaPierre’s $5 million mansion? What happens when a principle-based organization grants unchecked authority to a single individual?
Barack and Michelle Obama debut their first Higher Ground Production for Netflix, a documentary about the underbelly of the alleged Trump prosperity — American Factory. The new doc looks at a former GM plant, taken over by a Chinese auto glass firm, where workers make less money, and struggle to adapt to the regime of their new masters.
While President Trump says the economy is great, and the coming Chinese trade deal will be great, White House talk of a payroll tax cut lends credence to the media’s recession narrative. Democrats running for president in 2020 would love to neuter the incumbent’s best campaign issue. Could Trump turn the tide by lifting the punitive tariffs against China to boost the economy and bring much-needed relief to U.S. farmers?
A manifesto posted by the El Paso shooter echoes “invasion” rhetoric used by conservative media figures like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson, Pat Buchanan, Laura Ingraham and other FoxNews commentators — as well as by President Trump — to refer to illegal immigration.
Profusely sweating, pacing, pointing, bragging and shouting to reporters over the motors of Marine One, Donald Trump presents a vision of a president unlike any in recent memory. In an age of video, President Trump’s appearance and approach convey messages beyond words. Bill Whittle analyzes the showmanship and stagecraft of this unique president.
Are man-made climate change warriors blind to the obscene optics of 100+ private jets — bearing aloft the children of privilege and celebrity — flying in to Google’s Camp where they can decry the evils of the carbon emissions which doom the planet? Apparently, they are. Bill Whittle, Stephen Green and Scott Ott consider the motives — and tone deafness — of people who claim to care about a cause as they do exactly that which maximizes the problem they’re fighting.
Filmmaker Michael Moore calls on Michelle Obama to run for President as the only Democrat he’s confident could crush President Trump. She won’t be bullied or nicknamed, and she’s the most beloved and respected woman in the world. Will the man who did a Broadway show designed to bring down a president be able to sway the reluctant former First Lady to run?
While drunkblogging the Democratic presidential debates this week, Stephen Green suffered a haunting flash-forward: “What if one of these jokers wins?” Not content to replay this endlessly inside his own private Hell, Steve puts the question to Bill Whittle and Scott Ott…and you! How much of the Constitution will survive inside the Democrat presidential blast radius? Does America need to elect a hard socialist to innoculate itself against the disease forever?
Progressives in the media and politics complain that Kim Jong Un is playing President Trump, who settles for a self-aggrandizing photo opp, but is not projecting American strength (LOL). The Left also criticizes Trump for using the North Korea summit and G-20 meeting to cozy up to strongmen like Kim, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. […]
Quick hot takes on weird and wonderful news of the week — Stephen Green brings you Right Angle Lightning Round XXI, with Scott Ott and Bill Whittle.
Leftist virtue often comes from victimhood, so Progressive “truth” requires a story of oppression or abuse to give it credibility. Thus, the victimhood hoax has become more common than rational argument on the Left, since rationality lacks the emotional punch to break through the noise and hit the heart. Bill Whittle conjures Richard ‘Wretchard the Cat’ Fernandez to explain the connection between Leftist hoax and the ancient Donatist Heresy.
