Friends, this week's Newsmaker Show with me and Brian O'Neil is replete with legendary insights. Brian and I hash over the Biden Administration's (hypocritical) decision to release oil from the strategic reserve in order to lower gas prices, Jen Psaki's laughable claim that Biden "intends" to run again in 2024, the implications of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, and much, much more!
In our "This Day in History" segment, Brian and I discuss the public's ongoing love-hate relationship with Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, the fate of the "Hollywood Ten" cited for contempt of Congress way back in 1947, the collapse of international tourism in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby, and the consequent shortcircuiting of the search for justice regarding the JFK assassination, and more!
It's a show That's up to our usual incredibly high standards. Don't miss out!

And, in other news, check out this morsel of hilarity from the "Women's March": they're apologizing because recently their average donation was $14.92, which of course is a RACIST number! Ha! You can't make this stuff up, folks.
Dr.Waddy from Jack: The broadcast presents much opportunity for comment, thanx: Your view of the Rittenhouse trial is, if I can say so credibly, intellectually sound, in sharp contrast to the frantic leftist spasm of "righteous" political correctness emoted reflexively by them. A radio comment today said: watch how the MSM summarily drops coverage ofthe Arbery verdict (an intolerant, apparent endorsement of our legal system since it was politically correct) so that they may persist in presenting Kyle's exoneration as an outrage definitive of the malicious bias of our legal structure.
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: I agree with your doubtful view of Biden's supposed "intent" to run again. What effect, if any, might this have on Dem hopefuls like exalted Mayor Pete or AOC? Even if Harris were to attempt a carefully timed resignation as VP, in order to dispel her image as a token, she probably could not overcome her negatives in a primary fight, as demonstrated in the 2020 primaries. Besides, there would then be VP Pete!
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack : Thanks for your informed observation that the Strategic Oil Reserve was established for national emergencies. At that time we were much dependent on undependable, vulnerable, foreign sources, the interruption of which in 1973-4 I well remember as a perception of threat in our country , for good reason. Talk of gas rationing had been unheard since WWII; as any survivor of that time will tell you, that system was rife with corruption .Why, you would hear the name of the Saudi Oil Minister, Ahmed Zaki Yamani, whose every word we hung upon in that disgraceful time, on your local news! Ok, what is the name of his successor today?
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: Schumer is so slick: Your observation that he seeks to lower gas prices, to the benefit of the Dems,is sound. But he may also intend to define "global warming" as a threat so serious as to justify a "regretable" temporary imposition on the reserve ,necessitated by America's ever increasing "righteous transitional opposition to fossil fuel having ended our independence from foreign sources. After all, our slavish dependence on fossil fuels, have put us in this fix!" A two word reply, Charles, natural gas, not perfect as you would demand of all but you and your followers but very much workable, to the outrage of you and your leftist cadre.
ReplyDeleteJack, I can't imagine why Kam Kam would resign the Vice-Presidency... That would be like signing her own political death warrant. I suppose MAYBE a V.P. generally does what he/she is told by the Prez, since the alternative would be darn uncomfortable, but if I were her I'd cling to the office for dear life, since she has so little else going for her! Besides, Sleepy Joe could drop dead any second, and then...
ReplyDeleteIt may seem a stretch that we would need to fall back on the strategic petroleum reserve because of dire necessity, rather than mere expediency, but as you point out one can never be entirely sure. Hasn't it been proven time and time again that we're always just one big hurricane away from a gasoline shortage?
Naturally, the Dems will claim that the temporary lowering of gas prices is but a slight detour on the glorious march to a ideal future free of all fossil fuels. I guess, in the same way, Stalinism was a slight detour on the road to an egalitarian utopia? Uh huh.
Dr.Waddy from Jack: Last things first: Stalinism, heh! It was what the silly Hollywood commies in the late 40's supported and their inordinate popularity was of great influence. It is good that sybaritic commies were tasked as they were; they fully understood the influence they had and they used it for evil, though those voluptuaries would have blenched at any experience of commie reality (eg. komunalkas and the Gulag). They deserved their ordeal. Congress defended America against credibly effective advocacy of an evil fully comparable to universally condemned Hitlerism!
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: I think intense anticommunist conviction lasted well into the 50s and was intensified by the Hungarian Revolt against Soviet brutality, the mainstay of inhuman European communism. That the HUAC defendents were martyrs was probably a view held, again, mostly by "artsy" ignorant swells. Of course they found the '60s and my abundant and far too extensively credulous and entranced by Marxist faculty generation at the universities we flocked to then, most welcoming. They hastened then to portray their late '40s and most 50s ordeal as a latter day Via Dolorosa! Far too much of my generation were thus compromised and our onerous cultural sway, due only to our gargantuan multiplicity, opened the door to the almost unlimited depravity of popular entertainment today and its incaculable degradation of our society. Such ROT serves Marist intentions;they hope to rise on our ashes!
ReplyDeleteMarxist, surely not Marist. My flub. Jack
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: Your comparison of Bannon's indictment to the HUAC time is well worth consideration. This time though it is a patriotic American tasked by a Committee commanded by a San Francisco limousine commie and I look forward to what you have predicted: that he will settle their leftist hash in court!
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack : Iran Contra: by then I fully expected such from the left. You are right in that they have never gotten over their Watergate destruction of President Nixon. In 1972 they never imagined that the lowlifes they knew themselves to be could actually depose a President who defied them! Well, they didn't succeed with Reagan or even with President Trump, who was the object of their full disingenuosly self righteous fury.It took the much disdained electoral process to turn him out of office and it affords him a credible path back!
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: I haven't thought of Thanksgiving havin political significance but you are right in pointing out that it does, since it manifests traditional family values. Wonder why the left hasn't tried to ban it!? Yeah, if I were a Dem, I'd look to the future with dread.
ReplyDeleteJack, I expect you're right that sympathy for communist sympathizers was virtually nil in America until the late 60s, when everything went to H-E-double hockey sticks, and fast! Look at us now... Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThe Left is STILL fuming over its inability to pierce the popularity of Ronald Reagan. All their tricks availed them nothing. Of course, this was a far healthier country back then, morally speaking. The lefties wouldn't have dared advance 99% of their current policy positions back in those days.
Ah, but the Left HAS considered banning, or at least "fundamentally transforming", Thanksgiving. We ought to be ruminating on the oppression of Native Americans, dontcha know, rather than sucking down gravy...
Dr. Waddy from Jack: Well, 1600s religious oppression in Europe was a fact that drove desperate people to cross the harrowing North Atlantic, for indescribably degraded weeks in tossing, leaking , effluent soaked wooden casks (the storming sea at night can be an intense terror). Why they may even have paid heed to accounts that the Americas were a setting of land vastness and sparseness of human population (as it may forgiveably have been seen by Europeans who had experienced the near impossibility of acquiring land, which was ,eh, forgive us, an established standard of well being and even survival in the Old World). Uhh, were they condemned by expressions of thankfulness for their deliverance to this still terribly demanding land? True, its demands were natural; not negligible but at least not artificially imposed without by religious and dynastic forces beyond their ken. Would you lefties dismiss their gratitude, yes? Its objectively understandable that you would,given your 20th century proven record of sociopathic myopia!
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: It is unendurable to the left to consider that our nation's history consists of negatives and positives which ON BALANCE, accrue to a positive conclusion. Let them try to advance their exemplars( the USSR, Communist China, while it existed as such rather than the profound discreditation of Marxism it is today, fanatic Pol Pot Cambodia, Cuba etc, etc) as nevertheless DISproofs of this reality. Being perfectionists, with that disorder's attendant dysfunctions, they cannot!
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: But I have forgoten that example which always motivates the left: the FUTURE, for which no inconvenient solid evidence is available!
ReplyDeleteJack, one can make a strong case that gratitude is the VERY ANTITHESIS of leftism. Think about it: why would anyone truly GRATEFUL for his lot in life and the country in which he lives EVER endorse a "radical transformation" of either?
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: Because of its devotion to airy, malleable visions of the future (which are, to them and their spawn, conveniently irrefutable), the left always finds justification for the most murderous efforts to eradicate opposition. It is of no matter to them that opposition might manifest justice; Marx freed them from answering any standard or principle predating his pronunciamentos. In this, of course, he set an example murderously followed in the 20thcentury. Today's left yet seeks, by means exemplified by the "environmental movement", to reprise these catastrophes, which, they promise, will go much better on the second try they say they deserve! Really!
