Veep?

With Donald Trump the not-seriously-challenged Republican candidate in 2024, is there a chance we could see a political outsider double-header? In a culture war of competing ideas, is a career politician really the best choice for someone on bottom of the ticket? Or would we do well to try someone who knows how to articulate and defend conservative ideas?

The Syphilis Surge

Syphilis -- one of the most horrible diseases ever to torment humanity -- is making a strong comeback. Whatever could the cause be? Progressives, true to form, say the problem is that we are not spending enough money on public health clinics. Conservatives, true to form, claim that whatever you subsidize, you get more of. This isn't a money issue. It is a morality issue. Join our crack team of elite anti-elitists by becoming a member or making a one-time donation right here: https://billwhittle.com/register/

Officer Friendly Kills Himself

Four LA County Sheriff's Deputies die within a 24 hour period...and each of them by their own hand. Bill, Steve and Scott try to get to the heart of the pressures that all police officers face, and most especially, how plummeting rates of respect for law enforcement are creating an environment where choosing such a career will soon be simply intolerable.

Will This Finally Do it?

Perhaps the only thing more shocking to American Jews than the barbarity of the October 7th terror attack is the magnitude of the pro-HAMAS sentiment here in the United States. Will this finally be enough to convince American Jews to stop voting for the people that enable these atrocities?

The Horror of Homeschooling

Are you prepared for a dark dystopia where YOUR CHILDREN are educated WITHOUT government supervision? Well, that's how homeschooling is being described... by the failed public education system, once the envy of the world but now a very, very expensive joke.

Progressive Indecency

We were about to release this the day the Israeli massacre occurred, but that horror eclipsed everything. Fortunately, there does not seem to be any evidence that today's subject's behavior is improving, so this is an evergreen, timeless classic. They really are such charming people.

The Bodycam Revolution

After the George Floyd debacle, Police bodycams are becoming ubiquitous -- and it can't happen soon enough, because without them there is no doubt that some new outrage would have been concocted during the last three and a half years. Had police been wearing one in the Floyd incident, the proof that he couldn't breath before encountering the police would have been incontrovertible. But the bodycams do more than record the actions of suspects: they provide a profound insight into the astonishing patience, professionalism and courtesy of the police in the face of unimaginable slurs, insults and false accusations.

Blood on their Hands

The New York Times -- the Grey Lady, the Paper of Record --went with the story of an intentional Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza. Was there independent verification for a story of this magnitude?There was. It was confirmed by HAMAS, the people that concocted the story in the first place. With this single act of criminal negligence this fake atrocity has entered the history books, and much worse, it has entered the hearts and minds of Israel's enemies as indisputable fact. Who knows how much more hatred and bloodshed this stunning irresponsibility will lead to?

Shalom?

An elderly Israeli woman, who, with her husband, was taken hostage during the HAMAS Terror Invasion, is released with great fanfare. She thanks her kidnappers -- which seems understandable considering her husband and many others continue to be held hostage. But after walking out of frame, she returns, shakes the hand that helped murder 1,400 innocent civilians, and wishes him "Shalom" - 'Peace.' Stockholm Syndrome? A play for better treatment of her husband still held hostage? A spiritual victory over hatred? Or is it impenetrable naiveté?

CAN This Ever End?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that his nation is about to teach HAMAS a lesson that they will remember for decades. Will it fundamentally restructure the relationship between Israel and the Palestinians, or will it be yet another milestone in a bitter war of retribution that Israel has been fighting since 1948?

The HAMAS Terror Invasion: What Changed?

Steve Green points out that a mere three years ago, an American President had worked a miracle and pulled the entire region into an actual peace Treaty with the state of Israel; the idea being to increase the pressure on the Palestinians by dealing with them LAST. That President is gone. He may return. And while Joe Biden did not CAUSE either the war in Ukraine nor the HAMAS terror invasion, one does have to wonder how different things might be today with stronger and more competent American leadership.

Israel's Pearl Harbor

In the minutes before Hamas murderers shot down hundreds at an Israeli music festival, one person managed to photograph -- quite by accident -- several small black dots in the sky, coming in from the east. Even as they passed overhead, I'm sure the Israelis thought nothing of it... with precisely the same innocent trust that Americans stationed at Pearl Harbor had as swarms of Japanese aircraft began their attack.

California Schemin'

You might want to sit down in order to ease the shock of this one: California Governor Gavin "$800 Haircut" Newsom wants to slap a massive tax on the sale of legal firearms and then spend that money on things like outreach programs to LA street gangs... where for the first time, MS-13 members will have a chance to learn that murder, rape and theft are BAD and they shouldn't do them because it's not very nice.

Lego My Planet

Lego, the enormously popular building-block set, has its famous bricks made out of -- brace yourselves! -- Earth-killing PLASTIC. Based in Euro-weenie Denmark, Lego has spent years trying to do something that violates the laws of both nature and of man, namely: they tried, and failed, to make Lego bricks out of recycled plastic. Nothing they have tried has the precise *snap* needed, and so the Earth is now doomed to be consumed in flames and floods, leaving future insectoid historians to wonder, millions of years from now: "Was it worth it?"

So About That F-35...

Well, the missing jet has been located... or at least, the wreckage has been found. And fortunately, the pilot is safe and uninjured. But there are still a few things that are strange about this incident, and 1,000-hour, instrument-rated, military wanna-be pilot Bill Whittle has some questions about one thing in particular that doesn't seem to add up.

No More Senate Slobs

After John Fetterman (and a few of his colleagues) decided that shorts and a hoodie were just fine for the World's Greatest Deliberative Body, Bill, Steve and Scott tore into this idea and trashed it so thoroughly that two days after the episode was recorded (and the raw footage sent to 100 Senators), the U.S. Senate voted unanimously to institute a dress code.

Hasan Minhaj: The Jussie Smollett of Comedy

Hasan Minhaj -- a comedian of Indian descen. born in the remote, exotic and mysterious city of Davis, California -- includes many tales of emotional trauma suffered as a Person of Color growing up in Amerikkka. The only problem with this deeply moving tale of injustice is his recent admission that none of these things... you know... actually HAPPENED. Hasan refers to these fictional indictments of American culture as 'emotional truths.' Scott, Steve and Bill prefer a more accurate term: SLANDEROUS LIES.

The Vivisection Epidemic

Viv·i·sec·tion: the practice of performing operations on live animals for the purpose of experimentation. Since the late 1800's there has been a strong moral protest against surgeries targeting healthy tissue of living animals. It was known as the anti-vivisectionist movement, and was in large part responsible for organizations like the SPCA and laws against animal cruelty. Ask a progressive if they are opposed to surgically dissecting living animals and they will be appalled. Apparently, however, when the test subjects are teenage girls then that is to be CELEBRATED.

Mississippi Shows Us How

We live in an age of falling standards, and have been for quite a while now. The fear is that once lost, these high expectations cannot be recovered... but is that true? Well, the Great State of Mississippi -- education's perennial laughing stock -- has tried a radical theory: if you don't meet the graduation standards for a particular public school grade, then YOU DO NOT GRADUATE. And, mirabile dictu, it turns out that since neither the students, teachers, administrators and politicians want a child to repeat a grade... test scores and performance standards are GOING UP!!

Sinking Fast Now

Well, for those who have been paying attention, Joe Biden's mental decline was shockingly apparent during the run-up to the 2020 election. Sometime later, those who had not been paying attention came to realize the same thing. This past week, however, his performance had degraded so catastrophically that even those determined NOT to see his incapacity could no longer ignore it. Alzheimers, the sinking of the Titanic and runaway inflation all have one thing in common: they begin slowly at first, then end very quickly, and Joe Biden is sinking fast now.

Life After College

It was inevitable, I suppose: everything that the progressive movement touches it progressively erodes, and then eventually, progressively destroys. There was a time when the term 'Harvard graduate' meant a guarantee of quality. Now, it barely covers 'minimally competent' and also brings all kinds of certain ideological baggage -- the kind of baggage it would take to destroy the number one beer brand in America, just as one example. The shift from academies of learning into centers of indoctrination means that brick and mortar colleges and universities are on their way out and they are not coming back. And it's a genuine shame.

Too Late, Captain Buttmunch!

A twelve-year-old boy gets suspended for bringing 'a message of hate' in the form of the Gadsden flag on a backpack. When challenged on this by his mother, she was informed that the school prohibits the wearing of anything that promotes 'drugs, tobacco, alcohol or weapons...' Yes? AND? And the mental gymnastics continued as the school struggled to justify sending a kid home for wearing something the school officials didn't agree with. I suspect the American flag will be next.

In the Shadow of Trump

With the first Republican presidential debate behind us, surely it's safe to say that there were no indications that anyone on the stage was likely to approach -- let alone surpass -- Donald Trump in next year's primaries. Meanwhile, in Georgia, the former President turns himself in for the most epic mugshot in history, further emphasizing how far ahead of the pack he is.

Hilary Got Wasted

Yes, and it's happened more times than you could count. Hurricane Hilary -- the first hurricane-level storm to strike the west coast in 84 years -- turned into (for Bill at least) about 24 hours of mild Florida rain. And every single drop of that desperately-needed, expensive and scarce FRESH WATER just flowed right through Los Angeles, as it always does, and then straight out into the Pacific... as it always does.

Medicine -- especially surgical procedures -- has improved remarkably over the last century. But lately, three hour procedures have begun to take up to six hours. Why?

...is paved with good intentions.
