Siri, Alexa and the Google Assistant default female voices reinforce sexist notions that women are docile, servile, non-confrontational and easy to please, according to a new United Nations report. The report recommends genderless default voices so these female caricatures don’t discourage girls from pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and math (S.T.E.M.).
On Memorial Day, Firewall host Bill Whittle shows how what we remember as iconic battlefields looked very, very different to the men that fought and died on them.
Stephen Green ambushes Bill Whittle and Scott Ott with strange news of the week, including a guy who ate free at KFC every day for a year by pulling a clever caper, and a famous atheist who came to Christ.
Should cities deputize your neighbor to ticket your car? How about empowering citizens to issue citations for excessive vehicle idling, or to catch you texting and driving? You’d imagine rule-of-law conservatives and libertarians would back this public-private partnership already underway in Washington DC, New York and California.
What has changed in recent decades to swing the tide of popular opinion so that 40% in USA now support socialism? Far more Democrats say that Socialism would be a good thing, while most Republicans disagree. Are we one election away from Atlas Shrugged?
Mayor Chuck Espy of Clarksdale, Mississippi, offers to pay drug dealers, gang members and other criminals to leave town…$10,000 each from his own pocket. Is this a good-hearted politician trying to give folks a second chance, or a fool offering a bad incentive with worse consequences.
Marcus Lemonis, owner of Camping World and star of CNBC’s ‘The Profit’, must take down the 40′ x 80′ American flag he flies over his North Carolina business, Camping World. Lemonis refuses, and pays the daily fine. Now, Statesville is suing him to force him into compliance with the city ordinance regarding flag sizes within 100-feet of a highway.
Giant stinking heaps of garbage, crawling with rats carrying typhus — this is not some simmering 3rd-World $#1+hole, but rather, the Democrat-run city of Los Angeles. What will it take to clean up the City of Angels?
With an increasing number of states passing more environmental rules that trump President Trump’s, should conservatives support this new green federalism?

Scott Ott, Bill Whittle and Stephen Green gather to plan this week’s episodes of Right Angle on BillWhittle.com. This time we open in song and it gets better from there.
The presidential polling dominance of former Vice President Joe Biden contradicts the narrative that Democrats want the DNC to tack hard Left. Despite Socialist-wannabe insurgencies — from Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Beto O’Rourke, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, and others — the rise and rule of Biden seems to show that moderate Democrats still own the DNC.
Former Supreme Court Associate Justice John Paul Stevens says the worst decision of his life was the court’s DC v. Heller ruling, which recognized the individual right to keep and bear arms. Of course, Stevens voted with the minority in Heller. In a new book, he says he’s still convinced the framers of the Constitution and Bill of Rights meant to protect gun rights only for use in organized militias. Bill Whittle mansplains to Stevens the meaning of a simple English sentence known as the 2nd Amendment.
If new A.I. machine learning can predict your death by heart attack, do you want to know? This isn’t Robert Heinlein science fiction. Artificial intelligence can now evaluate 85 factors and formulate a heart-attack and death prediction for the next few years that’s about 90 percent accurate.
After a decade of justice denied — under Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, John Brennan, James Comey, and others — Bill Whittle thinks he now detects a whiff of fear among those in that cabal. Former CIA Director John Brennan, usually a cool calculating man, seems frightened about the probe into how the Russia collusion investigation began.
Alabama state lawmakers pass an abortion ban in hopes of a Supreme Court challenge that overturns Roe v. Wade.. Critics says the pro-life law could spur Hollywood to stop the flow of cash to the state’s growing film business, and cost millions in legal bills. Is this bad timing for Republicans running in 2020, or should President Trump wave this banner all the way to a second term?
