VIDEO: Self-hatred, self-loathing or self-correction?

Breitbart News reports today on an interview between Bill Maher and Peggy Noonan on yesterday's broadcast of HBO’s Real Time. Mr Maher stated that younger people have fallen into a dangerous level of self-loathing about America. A significant part of this is because, he said, "older generations read about Communism and socialism" and today's generation doesn't. 

Mr Maher added, "Another, I think big gap between generations...is that the older generations just have a more positive idea of this country.... And kids today, I don’t know what they’re teaching them in school, it doesn’t seem like a hell of a lot, but they have this idea, that they live...in a bad country that has only done bad things and is probably the worst place in the world, if they could only find a way to get out."

Ms Noonan responded that while America is "not perfect. To say the least, it’s had an uneven history. But it is a great country, and, historically, has been a good country." To which her host responded, "And it does self-correct. It does correct more than other places."

"Self-criticism is good," the WSJ columnist agreed. "Self-hatred is sick. Self-criticism could get you to a good place. Self-hatred is going to stop you dead."

On reading this, I immediately rememberted George Carlin's special "Life Is Worth Losing", made for HBO in 2005. In the video, the stand-up comedian covers the downfall of America from our "inheritance" of "this beautiful country" to consumerism and today's politicians, "It's a big club and you ain't in it!" 

As you watch this clip, ask yourself: Is this self-hatred, self-loating, or self-correction? 

   

Mr Carlin isn't alive (RIP) to answer my question. I doubt that he intended it to be a recipe for self-correction, since his cynicism -- he was the ultimate kitchen cynic (geddit?) -- would suggest that self-correction is impossible for today's Americans. QED. This clip has had over 31 million views over the 19 years since it was made. I don't see anything or anybody changing. Do you?

VIDEO: The New World Order takes a massive hit in US election

It's almost two weeks since the Day of Reckoning and the shock waves are still rippling through the woke Western world. There is much tearing of hair, weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Particularly amongst the feminist community of wimmin who (according to Bill Burr) started all t his woke nonsense.

In the latest episode of Remnant TV's "Underground", Michael Matt analyses the results of the 2024 election and concludes that, in the words of the leading leftist rag,  “Pro-Abort Politicians Biggest Losers of November Election”.

Well, those weren't really the words of the New York Times. Their headling read "Wishful Thinking on Abortion Politics". Abortion was the biggest loser of all in the November election. And the politicians who support the killing of innocent babies -- Mr Matt mentions "Commie Kamala" Harris, Hillary Clinton and Tampon Timmy Walz -- were the biggest losers.

The unlerlying message -- the key to this video -- is those three familiar words, now trending again: "Christ is King!" The war is on, and the New Woke Order has lost this round. Will it lose the war? That, Mr Matt says, is where we come in. We mustn't stop now. As President-Elect Trump says, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Note from Ed.: Try not to be so stricken with mirth by what Mr Matt calls Francis near the end that you stop listening to the message.

VIDEO: Trudeau ready to call in the army?!

We have another video for you, featuring Bill Maher, posted on YouTube by MemeTheLeft, just yesterday. Doesn't have anything to do with the Super Bowl and its execrable half-time show. Just didn't want you to think I'd forgotten about the Freedom Rally and Blackie McBlackface. 

 

Speaking of the kind of thing depicted in the last half of the video, the Canadian Broadcorping Castration has reported this morning that Mr Socks is getting ready to invoke the Emergencies Act, under which the army could be called in to "deal with" the freedom protesters. 

Walt asks what the army could do that the police can't... or won't? Just as in the Excited States of America, Canada's militarized cops already have artillery, armored vehicles and all that neat stuff. The Windsor ON police used a tiny tank yesterday to clear the Ambassador Bridge. So why not leave "law enforcement" to them?

Oh... wait... CTV reports today that Ontario Provincial Police have launched an internal investigation into the conduct of an officer after a video taken during a traffic stop surfaced on social media where he appears to voice his support to the ongoing convoy protest in Ottawa. 

In the video (which CTV didn't see fit to repost), an officer is seen talking to the occupants of a vehicle he had pulled over. At one point in the video, the officer is heard saying, "I get what you guys are doing. I support you guys 100 per cent."

So do we! Walt, Poor Len [and Ed.! Ed.]

VIDEO: Michael Matt calls Biden the Democrats' kiss of political death

"This is fun!", Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, returns to YouTube (!) just in time to celebrate "The Great Reject" -- the response of ordinary Americans, the real people, to President Brandon's left-liberal policies and politics. "The lunatics of Davos," he says, "have clearly become a political liability for a whole host of small-minded Democratic politicians...whose political future has now become understandly more important to them than the globalist ideology these whack-jobs -- Gates, Soros, Schwab and the rest of these nutters!" 

In this latest episode of "The Underground" from Remnant TV,  Mr Matt analyses this week's big wins for pro-life, pro-God, and pro-American politicians. Will Tuesday's rejection of the Democrats and their extreme liberal ideologies carry over into the 2022 mid-term elections? Michael is cautiously optimistic.

But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), there's more! What (Mr Matt asks) do Elon Musk, Bill Maher, and Greta Thunberg have in common? They’re all fed-up Leftist influencers, who are obviously not going to go down with the USS Biden. Are the wheels coming off The Great Reset even before liftoff?

Meanwhile, inside the Vatican, the situation goes from Woke to Weird. On October 28th, the Cardinals responsible for promoting Christian unity called on bishops to "listen to non-Catholic Christians" during the latest synod, which some have already dubbed "Vatican III". 

Some of Mr Matt's critics are asking why he doesn't just leave the Catholic Church and join the Orthodox or the Protestants (!). Mr Matt answers them in this video. Every minute is well worth watching!

VIDEO: Michael Matt warms of Catholicism being subsumed into the New World Religion

Ed. here. I'm having a hard time getting something worthwhile to fill this space every day, what with the NHL semi-final series between Canada's Team (the Montréal Canadiens) and the Las Vegaas Golden Knights being in full swing. The series is tied at 1 game each, with Game 3 going at le Centre Bell in Montréal at 2000 EDT today. 

So... Michael Matt to the rescue! We can always count on Mr Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, to produce thought-provoking (and passionate!) commentaries on the crises in the Roman Catholic Church and the world at large. (There is no crisis in the US of A. If you doubt that, just read the lickspittle media and see if you can find one.) 

In this week's video, Mr Matt asks (and answers) some very pertinent (and impertinent) questions, such as: 

What's the connection between the October 2019 Amazon Synod and the global lockdown that took place a couple of months later?

Is there a connection between Traditional Catholicism and the Pope's move to rein in the "rigid" Catholics [That would include Mr Matt and me! Walt] worldwide?

The G7 plan to reset the whole world with the help of the Vatican is no longer just a Republican vs. Democrat issue. So, what is it? 

Will a New World Order come with a New World Religion? If so, what happens to Christianity?

Protestant ministers were fighting for a constitutional amendment proclaiming Christ king over a hundred years ago. In 1925, Pope Pius XI proclaimed the doctrine on the Kingship of Christ to the entire world. So, what happened, and is there a connection between the abandonment of the King and the reign of chaos through which we're living today? 

With a little help from Bill Maher, Jon Stewart and Eric Clapton, Mr Matt answers all those questions in this riveting video. You'll want to watch every minute!

 

Walt wishes Dr Seuss a Belated Happy Birthday

All the fuss about the cancel culture's latest victim, the beloved Dr Seuss, is very timely. March 2nd was the late author's birthday. He would have been 117. He didn't quite make it, but his memory and thoughts live on in the children's books beloved by millions... until now.

Born (((Theodor Seuss Geisel))), Dr Seuss was an American children's author, political cartoonist, illustrator, poet, animator, and filmmaker. He is known for his work writing and illustrating more than 60 books, including  many of the most popular children's books of all time, selling over 600 million copies and being translated into more than 20 languages by the time of his death in 1991.

His first children's And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street was published in 1937. During World War II, he took a brief hiatus from children's literature to illustrate political cartoons. Naturally those were both anti-Nazi and anti-Japanese. The latter are now being criticized by the PC police for depicting racist stereotypes -- short near-sighted people with snub noses and buck teeth. Of course they were! That was the way we thought our enemies (at the time) were supposed to be portrayed. You can find the same tropes in Disney and Warner Bros. cartoons of the era.

After the war, Dr Seuss returned to writing children's books, writing classics like If I Ran the Zoo (1950), Horton Hears a Who! (1955), If I Ran the Circus (1956), The Cat in the Hat (1957), How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1957), and Green Eggs and Ham (1960). His books during his career, which have spawned numerous adaptations, including 11 television specials, five feature films, a Broadway musical, and four television series.

Now, however, the triumph liberal fascists have cancelled the good doctor, banning [and burning? Ed.] some of his most-loved books (including those titles shown in red above) because (they say) they have "strong racial undertones".

I'm not sure of the difference between an undertone and an overtone, but there you are. The Jewish author and illustrator is a racist, and everything he wrote or drew, even 60, 70 or 80 years ago is suspect. Take down those statues! Erase those murals! Burn those books! Let him be read, spoken of or remembered no more! 

The Loudon County VA school system, which started the current clutching of pearls, has provided "guidance" (read: a diktat) to schools to "not connect Read Across America Day with Dr. Seuss' birthday exclusively."

On Tuesday night, ABC's late-night host Jimmy Kimmel (not known for his conservative views), warned that such acts of cancel culture could propel President Trump to re-election in 2024! "This is how Trump gets reelected, by the way," Mr Kimmel told his audience. "Cancel Dr. Seuss, cancel Abe Lincoln, melt down Mr. Potato Head's private parts and throw them at the Muppets. That is his path to victory the next time around."

HBO Real Time host Bill Maher has similarly warned liberals that cancel culture is "real" and "coming to a neighborhood near you." His actual words, as reported by Breitbart News: "Liberals need a Stand Your Ground law…for cancel culture, so that when the woke mob comes after you for some ridiculous offense, you'll stand your ground, stop apologizing. Because I can’t keep up with who's on the shitlist."

Walt hopes [and prays! Ed.] that the "woke mob" will succeed in devouring themselves. Keep this up (I warn them) and pretty soon people, even moderates or progressives like Messrs Maher and Kimmel, will start laughing. When you get talked about in the late-night monologues, you're doomed!

As for me, I'm going to rummage through the attic and see if I can find any of the Dr Seuss books my parents bought for me when I was knee-high to a cat in a hat. [I know you have Babar and Little Black Sambo! Ed.] I see his books have rocketed to the top 50 Amazon best-sellers; I'm going to put mine on eBay quick, while they can still be sold! I'm sure some senior citizen will snap up Solid, Liquid or Gas!

VIDEO: We can't stay closed as a country! WAKE UP, AMERICA!

We can't handle this any longer! The pressure to end the lockdown resulting from the mad (as in "crazy") panic over Covid-19, is mounting, with even such ultra-liberals as Bill Maher lecturing CNN to stop with the fake news over the Biggest Media Hoax Ever.

In "Lockdown Meltdown", Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, explains how the global lockdown has done the impossible -- united conservatives with Catholic cardinals and bishops and inspired them to publicly stand together against the purveyors of the errors of Russia, while also attracting the attention of prominent political figures, evangelical Christians, even orthodox Jews, to what was heretofore a primarily traditional Catholic counterrevolution.



"This is not a time," Mr Matt says, "for traditional Catholics to go on defence. This is the moment we've been waiting for for a long time: when much of the world would come to realize that while they went to bed free, they have awoken to tyranny; a tyranny that was only possible once the Catholic Church had raised the white flag of surrender."

As Mr Matt says, we haven't been thinking on our own for two months! The liberal elites and (((controlled media))) have been telling us what to do, what to think, what to feel, what to fear! It's time to WAKE UP, AMERICA! We're NOT all going to die tomorrow! Wake up, get up, get out of your houses and get back to work!

Left vs far left - Bill Maher & Michael Moore discuss Democrats

A week ago, Walt posted "'No time for moderation, no time for Biden' sez Michael Moore" (WWW 7/9/19), in which I reported on the noted film-maker's warning to the Democrats that if they chose the soft liberal option and put Old Joe Biden at the top of their 2020 ticket, they would lose to President Trump.

Yesterday, Mr Moore appeared on HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher and repeated that warning to the eponymous host. This time, though, he took aim at Fauxcahontas, who he accused of not being far enough to the left, compared with such super-progressive Democrats as the wimmin of The Squad. He asserted that The Squad are viewed favorably by the majority of the American electorate. [Seriously?! Ed.]

Bill Maher, who lamented the leftward drift of the Dems' 2020 presidential wannabes on MSNBC's Morning Joe, was skeptical, to put it mildly. He said he did not think the country was "there" on most issues, including "Medicare for All", a policy supported by some of the Democratic presidential candidates.

Mr Moore said that if the presidential election were held right now, Still-President Donald Trump would emerge as the winner. That's pretty much what Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) said a few days ago, except that Mr Ryan predicted a Trump landslide. See "Tim Ryan (D-OH) predicts Dems could lose 48 states in 2020", WWW 29/8/19 (includes video). BUT, Mr Moore says, the Democrats can win in 2020 if only they choose a candidate who will appeal to the wimmin, coloured people ["people of colour", please. Ed.] and young people who, he claims, make up 70% of the electorate.

ED. HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN BLOCKED DUE TO COPYRIGHT ISSUES. GUESS HBO DOESN'T LIKE YOU TO BE ABLE TO WATCH WITHOUT PAYING.

Walt hopes that the Dumbocrats listen to Messrs Moore and Ryan. Never mind a champagne liberal like Fauxcahontas. Put AOC or Ilhan Omar on top of the ticket, and let's see what happens. I'll make the popcorn.

VIDEO: Bill Maher calls BS on "shared values" with Muslims

Chrystia Freeland is your archtypical limousine liberal. She is the daughter of privilege, a member of Canada's elite, the Member of Parliament for one of Toronto's wealthiest areas. A darling of the Canuck lamestream media, she was recruited by Justin Trudeau and promised a seat at the cabinet table if his Liberal Party won last fall's election. Which they did. And now she's Canada's Minister of Trade.

As such, she gets to swan around the world preaching the benefits of globalization, free trade agreements and (of course) helping all the poor people of the Third World. Canadians learned only today that Ms Freeloader was in Manila on November 19th, just two weeks after the new government was sworn in, while it was pushing for the resettlement of 25,000 refugees in the Great Not-so-white North. She had a government Challenger -- excellent planes, by the way -- standing by to take her home, but instead booked herself through LAX, charging Canuck taxpayers nearly C$20,000 ($15,600 in real money) for a to Hollywood.

Why? So she could appear on the HBO program Real Time with Bill Maher! During Question Period in the Canadaian House of Commons today, Conservative MP Blane Calkins called her appearance "a vanity interview". She took part, along with Senator Angus King Jr (Ind., Maine), in a discussion on how liberals rush to defend Syrian refugees and Muslims without acknowledging that many embrace a value set that is not shared with most Americans. In Mr. Maher's opinion, "This idea that somehow we do share values, that all religions are alike, is bullshit, and we need to call it bullshit." Check it out...
