U.S. And International Politics

[John Corbett]

    Everybody seems to have forgotten about Biden's VP.  Kamala claimed she had lunch with "Joe" almost everyday at the White House. That the guy was "running rings around everybody". Then she sticks the knife in his back in order to try and take his job. These people routinely eat each other up as they climb the ladder.

Jill stuck the knife into the backs of Pelosi and Obama when 10 minutes have Joe announced he was dropping out, he announced he was endorsing Kamala. I'm sure that was Jill's doing. Joe wouldn't have had the mental capacity to do that. Pelosi and Obama didn't want Kamala. They wanted a mini-primary. The endorsement killed that idea. Jill didn't do that for Kamala. The two couldn't stand each other. She did as an FU to Pelosi and Obama for forcing Joe out.

Scott Pelley has been canned by CBS News. Not surprising when you basically tell your new boss to go F himself in front of the entire staff. The staff of CBS News and 60 Minutes in particular has been able to act as a liberal propaganda mill for generations without accountability and they resent no longer being able to do that. Pelley seems particularly POed by it. He won't be missed. This move is addition by subtraction.

You would think CBS would move right to gain viewership. Look at Fox News they pummel the competition. The 2024 Election night coverage was downright sickening to watch. Norah O'donnell's voice sounded like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Nothing will top Election Night 2016 for sheer entertainment value. The arrogant a-holes on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC went into the night so certain that it was going to be a coronation of Hillary and then to watch as they went through stages from elation, to concern, to fear, to panic, and finally despair as outcome became increasingly obvious over the course of 8 hours. NBC's Richard Engel went so far as to call for Trump's impeachment before Trump had even crossed the 270 threshold. ABC's Martha Radaatz was fighting back tears. And we're supposed to believe these folks aren't rabidly partisan.

I have correctly picked who would win POTUS elections since Nixon.  I predicted Trump would win in 2016. I picked Trump to win in 2020 using the same analysis and I was completely surprised that Biden/Harris won.

I went home to visit my parents after many years and was surprised that both of them whom had always voted conservative, had voted for Biden/Harris.

This was a very improbable change in character that I found alarming. So I started looking around the area of their retirement community and I found that everywhere was leftwing biased controlled . Their cable TV
, newspapers and magazines , were biased left.  Their  local bookstore was leftwing. There was a rainbow colored flag at the entrance but not an American flag anywhere. I easily found several books by leftwing politicians and leftwing celebrities, displayed in the window.  The motif of the bookstore was 60’s revolutionary hippy style.

I sought for a book about Ronald Reagan. There was only one and it was hidden in the back of the store on the last row at the bottom of the shelf.

So before  I left the store, I moved the Reagan book up to the front display window and placed in the center of all the other leftwing books. I’ve no doubt that when the book was eventually discovered by the manager, that there  probably a TDS moment of rage.

What was most alarming to me was how easily my WW2 generation parents who had always been conservative rational thinking well educated people could be so radically changed that they would abandon their core conservative and Christian principles.

I found to my dismay that my conservative dad who had always been a steadfast Christian and instructed me from early age about right and wrong, now was a confused man who could not answer the question if the LGBTQPs lifestyle was acceptable according to the Holy Bible.

I’ve concluded that the gradual transformation of my once rational Christian conservative parents into confused people who were fearful of being politically incorrect was a result of having decided to live in this retirement home community. They became trapped in a leftwing controlled “village” similar to that portrayed in the original The Prisoner episodes. There was a No.2 running the facility, but no one knew who no.1 was and the residents were advised not to ask questions.

On one of my long commutes, the best radio reception was NPR. On another, it was conservative right-wing talk radio. It was only in retrospect that I realized how much a steady diet of one perspective had subtly colored my views. I used to religiously watch Chris Matthews on MSNBC followed by Bill O'Reilly on FOX to make sure I was getting balanced lunacy. Now I listen and watch almost nothing and generate my own lunacy, which is much healthier.
