Desperation at The Oscars

The Irrelevancy Continues…

I have not watched The Oscars in probably a decade. Ever since the Hollywood ‘Woke’ movement decided to quit making entertaining films, instead becoming a fifth column for social decay and moral lecturing, my interest, along with millions of Americans have been one of tuning to something else.

The road to the 2022 Oscars was a rocky one. First, actor Sean Penn, our man in Ukraine, demanded the Academy Awards allowed Ukrainian comedian Zelenski to speak remotely at the Oscars. He threatened to smelt his two best actor Oscars, in public, if the Academy didn’t allowed the comedian to speak.

Sean Penn is a self absorbed buffoon, let us see if he goes through with it, but I highly doubt it. These Hollywood types have lived the lives of so many people other than their own, they have difficulty adjusting to the real world and they think the are living in a perpetual role.

I understand The Oscars is a failed business and they need to do anything possible to garner some attention, but using Will Smith and Chris Rock to do so was such a cheap shot.

The ‘Slap Heard Around the World’ became the #1 media story, even sending the Ukraine conflict into temporary obscurity.

Without going into full details, host Chris Rock made a joke about Will Smith’s wife, when Smith made his way up to receive his Best Oscar award for his portrayal of infamous tennis coach, and father of the Williams sisters, Richard Williams, he slapped Chris Rock in the face and went on an irrational tirade.

The next day it became the story and all the usual media suspects began their guessing games developing their own story lines.

If you believe what happened between Rock and Smith was an spontaneous act, then you have been living in a make believe world yourself.

The Oscars have been a failed product for quite some time. Most people have quit watching and the Academy needed something to spark renewed interest.

In my opinion, after watching the incident, this was staged by the Academy in an effort to bring relevancy to a show not many people care to watch.

The way Smith slapped Rock was laughable and Rock’s reaction even more so. I love my wife to death, and if someone would say something offensive about my wife, my reaction won’t be one of a ‘bitch slapping’, they won’t be able to get up, period.

I was surprised the Academy would use Will Smith as their pawn. After all, Smith lives a pretty private, and for the most part, scandal free life. It was hard to watch the “Fresh Prince” acting like the ‘angry black man’ on stage.

But it seems Hollywood loves to trash every Black role model available. If you watch black oriented television shows, 99% of them portrait black people as drug dealers, killers, gang bangers, pimps, etc.

The days of the Cosby Show, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, 227, Sanford & Son, Amen, and Rock, to name a few, are long gone and Hollywood should be ashamed of themselves and black people even more so for allowing it to happen.

I knew Hollywood and the Academy were a sick and shameless group of people, but this was as, Will Smith would say, a slapped in the face, “Big Willie Style.”

The Unremarkable Joe Biden

A Weak President on Times of Much Needed Strength

One of the first signs of being a weak leader is when such a leader goes overseas to air his or her country’s dirty laundry.

Obama did it when he went to the Middle East to bow to the Sheiks and apologize for America’s leadership throughout the world and now Joe Biden has done it again at the NATO summit.

Instead of talking about the issue at hand, the Russia/Ukraine conflict, these are some of the irrelevant gems this man shared with our NATO ally’s courtesy of the washingtontimes.com

  • President Biden said Monday that he’s assured NATO allies that the Republican party is “vastly diminished,” and they need not fear a repeat of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
  • “The Republican Party is vastly diminished in numbers, the leadership of the Republican Party is fractured, and the Trump wing of the party is the bulk of the party, but it makes up a significant minority of the American people,” 
  • Referring to January 6, he continued, “I think that they’ve seen things happen as we have that shocked and surprised them, but I think they believe, like I do, that the American people are not going to sustain that kind of behavior,” 
  • He called the Jan. 6 assault a “shock and surprise,” adding that the chaos stemmed from President Trump’s “phony populism.” He also took a swipe at Republican senators who resisted a bipartisan, independent commission to investigate the Capitol riot.
  • “It is disappointing that so many of my former colleagues in the Senate, who I know know better, have been reluctant to take on an investigation because they are worried about being primaried.”

This is what we have representing us on the world stage. An old buffoonish character who has no respect for our country and who goes around spreading lies to our allies about the state of our country’s politics.

The Republican Party is not “vastly diminished,” unless he means that as long as his party can steal elections they will never be in power.

Joe Biden has done such a dismal job on all fronts; the Republicans are bound to take the majorities on the House of Representatives and the Senate on the 2022 mid-term elections. Only Joe Biden believes in his dementia ridden world that he has done a great job.

He keeps running around with the January 6th narrative which most intelligent people understand it was done by a dedicated group of people, nothing more. Nobody involved in that riot killed anyone as Joe Biden told NATO today, that is a lie and a disgusting one at that.

The only innocent person killed on January 6th was Air Force veteran Ashley Babbitt by a Capitol Police officer.

Joe Biden not only embarrassed himself but embarrassed our country. He offered NATO nothing but a laundry list of lies and a bunch of crocodile tears. He cried to NATO about the Republicans and Donald Trump. I am sure NATO does not care about his own personal issues.

Perhaps Joe Biden is dealing with his own conscience, perhaps he knows he is a phoney and needs the reassurance from NATO that he is a great leader, but even NATO knows Joe Biden is not the right leader to lead and defeat Vladimir Putin.

What have we got from this meeting? Nothing that would benefit the American people. The only thing we got was the promise from Joe Biden to take 100,000 Ukrainian refugees.

We do not need more refugees while American citizens are going hungry and homeless. With a 7% rate of inflation, and gas prices through the roof, the United States cannot absorb more refugees in addition to the thousands of illegal aliens crossing our southern border.

He also stated an investment of over $320 million, tax payers, dollars in “democracy” and “human rights” funding in Ukraine and neighboring countries. Is this guy serious? Ukraine does not believe in human rights or democracy. Zelenski is an autocrat, but of course, he is Biden’s buddy.

Only two years ago the American media portrayed Ukraine as a corrupt, totalitarian, and untrustworthy country, but today Ukraine is a bastion of democracy. Sounds like a bad joke written by the comedian Zelenski himself.

Joe Biden is weak, and the media continues with their attempts to cover up his weakness.

Fortunately, the American people knows better.

Don’t Believe the Hype; Ukraine is Not a Democracy

Ukraine Central Government Behaving Undemocratically

The European Union and the United States wants you to believe the Ukrainian cause is a just cause and we should invest all our resources and military might into it.

The problem, and the reality is, the Ukrainian government is everything but a democratic government.

Would a democratic government remove all their party opposition from the government as Zelensky has done with opposition parties in his country?

Would a democratic government take full control of the media narrative by creating a single television channel and dismissing every other outlet?

The answer to both questions is, no.  Imagine if Joe Biden dismissed the whole Republican Party from Congress and took control of all television and radio outlets in our country. That would be considered undemocratic and dictatorial in nature.

This is exactly what the comedian Zelensky is doing in the Ukraine and western media outlets are refusing to report it.

Zelenski has moved to suspend most of the opposition parties, which includes the parliament’s second largest group, Opposition Platform – For Life, creating a de facto one-man government.

Why would the president of a ‘democratic’ government ban his opposition from government? He says because they have possible links to Russia. Is he joking? Many Ukrainians have links to Russia that doesn’t mean they approve of Russian or Ukrainian actions.

This is a totalitarian move and contrary to western values of governance. This is the type of one-party rule system you see in communist countries like China. This is wrong and we should not be supporting a government that dismisses opposition voices based on ‘hunches.’

“Any activity politicians aimed at division and collaboration won’t be successful, but will instead be faced with a harsh response.” According to Zelensky if anybody goes against his narrative they will face consequences.

Imagine if a sitting United States president would make such a statement against members of the minority party. Folks, this is not what we stand for and we should not be supporting any type of government who thinks totalitarianism is a legitimate form of government.

His move to take full control of the media to shape his own narrative is dangerous and it should be condemned by the western media, unfortunately it won’t.

We need both sides of the conflict to be reported fairly and accurately. Anything else is nothing more than misinformation and propaganda.

In the meantime, Joe Biden goes on national television and call Putin names, like a little kid, instead of trying to find a solution to a conflict he helped create, first in 2014 and now with his bellicose rhetoric.  

Biden’s press secretary refuses to answer real questions while telling the American people we need to help the people of Ukraine. The media outlets in the United States, both liberal and conservative ones, continue to report what they wish you to know while omitting how and why we got here in the first place.

Ukraine may be the ‘Flavor of the Month’, but is definitely not a democracy and it will never be.

Polls and the Nuclear Question

Stupidity or Ignorance?

A Pew research poll found that approximately 50% of Americans polled consider the Russian-Ukrainian conflict a direct threat to the United States. More than a third of Americans would support the use of the American military, even at the risk of a full-on nuclear war with Russia.

According to the poll, Republicans and Democrats evenly share this view alike. Keep in mind, these are the same polls who gave Hillary Clinton an outright victory in the 2016 election by 5:00 p.m. on election night.

Pew claims 62% of Americans say they would oppose “taking military action even if it risks a nuclear conflict with Russia”, however 35% said they would support military action. According to Pew, the results were almost evenly split between Democrats and Republicans with 36% Republicans and 35% Democrats willing to risk nuclear war over Ukraine.

I am not one of those in favor of going to war with Russia over Ukraine. I do not look at this thing with a bleeding heart, but with logical and rational thoughts.

I don’t know these ‘Americans’ who think a full-scale nuclear war with a country who has the largest arsenal of nuclear warheads in the world is a smart idea. I will have to think this poll is a made-up poll or those polled are either ignorant or stupid.

A nuclear conflict over Ukraine is not worth one American life, we do not owe Ukraine anything. Ukraine is not a NATO member and holds zero strategic value to the United States.

I understand Joe Biden does owe Ukraine a lot. After all, it was the Ukrainian government who intervened on behalf of then Vice-President, Joe Biden, to put a stop to an investigation into his son Hunter Biden’s dealings in Ukraine.

The Biden’s have been involved in business dealings with Ukraine since 2014, mostly Hunter Biden and Ukrainian holdings company Burisma.

In 2016, amid an investigation, Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion of U.S. aid to Ukraine unless Viktor Shokin, the country’s top prosecutor was fired. He was allegedly ‘soft’ on corruption and Joe Biden was tasked to clean up corruption in Ukraine by then President Obama.

Shokin was not soft on corruption, Shokin was investigating Hunter Biden and his shady dealings with Burisma. You can think whatever you want to think, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck.

Folks, Joe Biden owes Ukraine big time, but we do not. This is Joe Biden’s personal mess and now he wants the United States to pay the price for his son’s mistakes by drawing the United States into a conflict in which we have no business getting into.

Zelenski goes in front of our Congress making foolish suggestions that perhaps we are already in a Third World War and we are not doing enough to help him. I assumed, since he was a comedian, this was a joke, unfortunately the joke was on us.

Furthermore, he compares the situation in his country to Pearl Harbor and September 11. No wonder this failed comedian was the perfect fit to become a United States puppet, he is as unstable and irrational as Joe Biden.

This is an obvious attempt by Zelenski to draw us into a conflict that will not end well for the United States.

By suggesting a “No Fly Zone” he knows that we would have to shoot down Russian jets and therefore we will be at a state of war with Russia. Even NATO understands the risk of such action and it is vehemently opposed to it. Our government should do the same.

To think that a third of Americans are willing to risk a nuclear conflict over Ukraine is disheartening and frightening. The consequences of a nuclear war with Russia, and the catastrophic effects on the rest of the world are unthinkable, and to advocate for it, unconscionable.

Facebook and Instagram to Allow Hate Speech Against Russians

This is Uncivilized and Irrational Behavior

These outlets are a social cancer!

As a minority, I can only think what would have happened to people like me if Facebook were around during the days of the Civil Rights movement. Most likely they would have called for Hispanics like me to be hanged from trees or burned into a crisp.

Now, Facebook and Instagram are going to allow hate speech in their platforms, with one caveat, as long as it is against Russians, even those who live here in the United States, happen to be United States citizens, and are against the conflict.

But Facebook is not the only platform calling for an all out assault on Russians. Politicians like Congressman, and failed presidential candidate, Eric Swalwell is calling for Russian students at American universities to be kicked out of the country.

The former ambassador to Russia under the Obama administration, Michael McFaul, suggested on Twitter that all Russians are to be blamed for the conflict. He went on to say “There are no more innocent, ‘neutral’ Russians anymore.” To think this bundle of irrationality was an ambassador says a lot about our country.

We live in crazy times when former United States diplomats, members of Congress, and social media outlets are calling for the complete extermination of a group of people.

Let us use some rational thinking here for a minute. Am I to believe that every single Russian citizen and American citizen of Russian descent approves of Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine? Every man, woman, and child? Only an uncivilized moron would believe such a thing.

I am sure there are many Russian citizens who are against the Russian-Ukraine conflict, as many of us are, but unlike United States citizens, they don’t have the freedom to say such things, unless they want to spend the rest of their life in a gulag.

To wish for the annihilation of a group of people, any group, is no different than approving of the extermination of Jews by the Nazis during the second World War or the Cambodian “Killing Fields” under Pol-Pot, but foremost, is un-American and inhumane.

This is the state of our society folks. Kill everyone, post it on social media, and everything is going to be alright. It seems Americans have lost all sense of humanity.

If you believe this is ok, you should be ashamed of yourself and should not call yourself an American.
