It is amazing how many people think that they can answer an argument by attributing bad motives to those who disagree with them. Using this kind of reasoning, you can believe or not believe anything about anything, without having to bother to deal with facts or logic.— Thomas Sowell (@ThomasSowell) February 15, 2021 People who thrive on their identity as Blue Democrats and Red Republicans hate each other in today's acerbic political arena. No one seems to be able to converse without the subject devolving into politics. Then - POOF! - people move back to their comfortable echo chambers. The film Irresistible is a masterful takedown of our cultural logjam. It's a brilliant piece of film. Amazingly, liberal Jon Stewart produced a

Celebs do interviews to fatten their wallets; Twitter bullies only see the ancient past through today’s WOKE lens
Hindsight is the morality playground for today's social justice warriors. They dredge ancient culture for activity that is considered unacceptable by today's standards and bully the "bad person." The stasi is back. Men interviewing women. Between 1970 - 2020. Breathtaking misogyny, across five decades. From causally but deeply vicious to stunningly ignorant and disrespectful. Stomach churning stuff. And let’s be clear, this endures. It really must be rooted out. https://t.co/TMDJG8AVVx — Colm O'Gorman (@Colmogorman) February 14, 2021 Some people are still teflon in WOKE world culture. Howard Stern peppering guests with invasive sexual questions, rock stars like Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler who bragged about sleeping with teenagers, and countless male bosses who coerced sex from female employees. All still running free. Late night
Hours after the Trump mob invaded the U.S. Capitol, POTUS tweeted “Go home in peace.”
The video above was presented by Democrats at the onset of the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump on February 9, 2021. Politics is filled with outlandish language and deftly tilted narratives, but video doesn't lie. Trump stirred the pot. His loyalists followed his directives and stormed the Capitol. 7 people died. Over 140 law enforcement personnel were injured or are suffering PTSD from the invasion. This is not a good look for the strongest republic in the history of the world. God Bless America.

That time The Godfather WOKE the Academy Awards: eradicating racism is “a block by block fight”
Marlon Brando refused his Academy Award in 1973 for the lead role in The Godfather and had Native American Sacheen Littlefeather walk onstage instead. She delivered a quick message detailing how Hollywood depictions of Indians, Blacks, Asians, and many other ethnicities and cultures abused minorities by perpetuating racist stereotypes. Littlefeather, an Apache, couldn't deliver her full message because of time constraints but offered the complete text to the media following the telecast. In spite of her gracious delivery of Brando's intentions to refuse the award, some in the crowd booed. Some other Hollywood stars including John Wayne, Raquel Welch, and Clint Eastwood mocked Brando's crusade of enlightenment by cracking jokes later during the show. It was Hollywood's first massive WOKE moment at
Smother Brother: they can’t be serious about triple masking
The public has been on an information roller coaster since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. First...just the old people are in danger. Then it was that people with symptoms should wear a mask. Then we needed a national mask wearing mandate. Now it's two masks to prevent exposure to coronavirus. And maybe a third booster shot will become necessary. There is even talk about the effectiveness of THREE masks! THREE! Isn't that like wearing Saran wrap over your mouth and nose and trying to access oxygen? Here's the full CNBC report from former Fox News host Shep Smith and former CBS/MSNBC/NBC correspondent and host Contessa Brewer about the greatness of not just double-masking, but triple-masking. h/t: @Justin_Hart pic.twitter.com/DgOhHuzUS5 — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) January 27,
Strong media interviewing allows subjects extra latitude
Welcome to interview school! I am fortunate enough to interview a great many community leaders, change agents, politicians, celebrities, and athletes. People frequently ask me about my casual interviewing techniques and why I don't crush my subjects. First, I can only be me. My personality dictates that I speak to guests on the air the exact same way that I would in a store, on the sidewalk, or in my home. More importantly, I feel that a quality interview involves listening to the guest and not making myself a part of the narrative. The guest is the star. Let's look at some variance in interview segments by Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo from CNN. This video is a compelling takedown of Black Lives Matter
TULSI TIME 🔥 Joe & Kamala weren’t always in love
Now that they're White House partners, it's fascinating to watch a segment of the 2020 presidential debate among Democrats. First there was Kamala Harris ripping into Joe Biden's support of the racially oppressive 1990s Crime Bill. Joe lobbed some heat back at her and then candidate Tulsi Gabbard absolutely shredded Harris for her racially biased strategies as California attorney general. Tulsi has been pushed to the sidelines and now President Joe Biden and Madam Vice President Kamala Harris are all good. For now. I spoke with former Obama/Biden White House official Jerry Abramson about the mended relationship between the president and vice president. LISTEN: former Obama/Biden White House official Jerry Abramson on @JoeBiden's work ethic, negotiation skills, and relationship swerves with
The Facts of Life are flying out of the White House again
Feel the media love from "impartial" New York Times writer Annie Karni on President Joe Biden's press secretary Jen Psaki: "Her noncombative briefing was designed to project a return to normalcy, a sense that the briefing room, like the rest of the West Wing just hours into the Biden administration, is back in the hands of substantive government professionals who are not seeking to undermine the role of the press." Veteran Washington insider Jen Psaki (SOCK-ee) held her first press briefing for President Joe Biden just a few hours after his inauguration. She's a breath of fresh air, acknowledging that she will always be truthful and that everyone in the room may not agree with everything they hear from the new
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris get the keys to the White House
Joseph R. Biden, a former vice president and senator, was sworn in as the 46th President of the United States at 11:49 a.m. President Biden immediately signed multiple executive orders reversing policies (immigration, travel bans, climate action) put into place by his predecessor President Donald Trump. Before the Bidens officially entered the White House as the new First Couple, there was a brief walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. Attendance was extremely limited due to the coronavirus pandemic. The new Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris also walked the route. Lady Gaga won the day on the entertainment front. Her rendition of The Star Spangled Banner was magnificent. Three former presidents attended the inauguration ceremony. An additional event brought them together with President Biden and
