Request for Recommendations

The only thing I like more than my evening routine is my morning routine. And part of it is listening to political commentary while I get ready for the day, cook breakfasts, pack lunches, etc. Matt Walsh is on a 2-week vacation and I’m left without a show. I’ve been reduced to Ben Shapiro but his voice is not doing it for me at this hour of the day.

Does anybody have suggestions? I’m looking for a daily right-wing show. Ideally, it should be at least an hour long. And open access because I hate subscriptions.

Fake Mamdani

Everything about Mamdani is fake, including videos of him eating rice with his hands and this clearly staged video:

This was aimed at making him look moderate and it’s completely fake.

What Killed Social Security

Remember how I said that you can either have welfare or mass migration? Here’s one example why:

Social Security is already so engorged that nobody can explain how to make it economically viable. It’s simply a fact. All of the hand-wringing about the evil Republicans who want to cut Social Security is a smokescreen for what caused the program to enter into a state of agony.

If there’s mass migration, there won’t be welfare protections in the widest sense of the word. There also won’t be many of the constitutional protections. Welfare and a constitution can only exist within a nation-state. If there’s no nation-state, there’s no constitution, no Social Security, no police, no Medicare. It’s a dog-eat-dog, crime-soaked, scary and miserable global shantytown.

Will Buy You Love

Having all of the money in the world won’t buy you happiness or psychological health. But it will buy you this:

Granted, I’m not a man, so I’ll never understand why anybody would want to swap the beautiful woman in the “before” picture for the creepy monster in the “after”.

Video: Background Drama

And by the way, the new video:

Somebody in the comments did think that I’m filming from my mansion, and I’m mortified. The viewer discovered that some Putinoid YouTuber is using the same background and thinks the Putinoid stole it from me.

I’m going to switch to the brick wall background.

Riddle about the NATO Expansion

Who said the following regarding the NATO’s Eastward expansion?

Every country has the right to choose the option that it considers most effective for ensuring its own security. The expansion will help strengthen trust in Europe and all over the world.

A hint: this statement was made during a meeting with NATO’s Secretary General.

The Glastonbury Scandal

It wasn’t “chants about the military.” Vylan openly incited violence, screaming “Death to the IDF!” There are people sitting in jail in the UK for a lot less. When is this guy getting arrested?

Besides, there was also the part where he said “Heard you want your country back? Shut the fuck up”. How about this? Is that acceptable?

The British authorities should either imprison this guy immediately or release everybody who is currently sitting in jail for wrongthink and wrongspeak. I’m for the latter scenario. Everybody says whatever crap they feel like. But if you are going to imprison people for tweeting something to their 15 followers, then it should follow that screaming “death! death!” to a crowd of thousands is punished in the same way.

For the particularly gifted, I repeat that I’m for freedom of speech and prefer the scenario where nobody is jailed for words.

Q&A about a Bad Husband

I’m so sorry! This is terrible. He sounds like a right jerk. Only you know the specifics of your situation but here are some general rules:

  1. Never have sex with him again no matter how much of a good idea it feels like at any given point.
  2. Don’t direct inner monologues at him or to others about him. Train yourself forcibly out of that habit. Interrupt the inner monologue whenever it begins.
  3. Occupy yourself as much as possible, start a new project. Ideally, something you do with your hands.
  4. Don’t try to live your children’s psychic life for them. This will be a fact of their lives, and they will come to terms with it in a way that makes sense to them. This is not for you to manage or direct. Which should be a relief because I’m sure you are overwhelmed as it is.
  5. Be kind to yourself.

You need to preserve yourself, preserve your sanity. Your kids need it and you need it. Any segment of the day that you can claw back from being about this man and this situation is a gain.

Once again, I’m very sorry. This is a terrible thing to happen.

It’s in the Genes

This is an excellent illustration of the strength of heredity:

The eldest son of Norway’s crown princess was slapped with rape and sexual assault charges in a case with a “double-digit number” of alleged victims, authorities announced Friday.

The bombshell charges against Marius Borg Høiby — the 28-year-old son of Princess Mette-Marit and stepson to the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Haakon — follow him being arrested numerous times in 2024 as accusers came forward.

Høiby’s mother is from a family of criminals. His father, who never had much of a relationship with the mother, is a career criminal. Somehow, the mother managed to marry royalty but this changed nothing. Her son ended up on criminal charges anyway.

Depicting Normalcy

Yes, we need more shows about normal people leading normal daily lives. That will attract crowds of viewers. Makes gigantic sums of money.

Not.

This was written by a man who has the maturity of a 7-year-old. And he thinks it’s cute to present himself to the world as a lisping little boy. “Why does the entertainment industry show weird people in weird situations?” Yes, why, indeed. It’s not like it could be motivated by the desire to make a profit.

P.S. I actually did remember a show like what he described. It’s Ozark. The male lead is a criminal but you’ve got to have some aspect of the show actually attract attention.
