Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers has become persona non grata to progressives. Which is, truthfully, a remarkably easy feat. He started irritating them around a year ago when he criticized politicians who didn’t obey their own COVID-19 mandates. More recently he deplored the “woke mob” and “cancel culture.” The woke mob became truly apoplectic when Rodgers wasn’t clear about his vaccination status and then spoke with popular podcaster Joe Rogan, subsequently saying he had availed himself of the same COVID-19 treatment Rogan claimed to have used successfully. You know, the so-called “horse de-wormer.” Which is not a Dr. Fauci-approved “vaccine.”

I hold the opinion that the majority of Democrat base voters do not read at a level that would allow them to understand "Atlas Shrugged."

Ayn Rand's book is quite a bit longer than a Twitter post. I doubt many Dems have read it. To be honest, probably not many people under 60 have read it.

Atlas Shrugged is very smart and forward thinking. I'm surprised he's reading it. Good for him! The heck with the commie pinkos!

As a Bears fan for many years, you can imagine how I feel about AR. Yes I know what the NFL has become. Our own rookie QB, Justin Fields, has “end racism” on his helmet. Oh the irony. I’m gonna need some time peeps to process my conflicted thoughts.

Mister Rodgers just went up a couple of notches in my opinion. Enough people like him, and they could salvage and reclaim what has become the National Felons League.

Read Lord of the Flies. It.is a tale of good vs evil. It is a story about a group of private school boys who were being sent away from England during the war for their protection. They crash land on an island and then instead of working together to survive, they break into two tribes, one evil and one good. Very interesting.

The cancel mob does not have any traction regarding Rodgers at the moment. He is leading one of the best teams in the NFL. Longterm they will find a way to get rid of him. The cancel mob is fueled by hate, and hatred never forgets.

I don't know why any conservative or free thinking American subscribes to Twit. It appears to be a forum for fascists to trash talk, if talk is the word, and insult, anyone with opinions of their own. It's group think for mindless zombies, and I used to never believe in zombies! Every article I read on this forum, which addresses the Tweet, is the same thing, a conservative says something contrary to the accepted liberal mantra, and then a bunch of foul mouthed bottom dwellers insult the conservative, with the Tweets approval, just before the conservative is banned for not toeing the party line.

I read Atlas Shrugged in high school and then again many years later. Rand certainly knew what communism was. She was born in Russia and moved to the US. It should be required reading along with Karl Marx, but the left would only allow Marx today. Books on the right will not be tolerated say the 'tolerant' leftys.

Really, no surprise here. Rodgers has always leaned in the libertarian direction; he just mostly kept it under his helmet until lately. He hails from one of the more conservative areas of California. Fortunately, his brief stint at Berkeley didn't discourage that (didn't do it for me either).

If Aaron Rodgers can get through Atlas Shrugged, he is a smart man. It is a long, detailed book that is mirroring what is happening in the USA today. In fact, you can probably fill in the names of every government character and many business characters in the book with a person from the Biden administration (or his nominees) and some woke liberal business people. There are also some fairly sharp business owners who may fit into the John Galt side of the story too as they get more fed up with what is going on today. Either way, most people, NFL players included, ate too lazy, and intellectually incurious to bother a book as long as Atlas Shrugged. Maybe if it were made into a graphic novel, with easy to understand anime pictures, the younger generation would get it and appreciate it.

"It's a thousand pages, give or take a few, I'll be writing more in a week or two...." 1,048 pages in my well worn copy. Small print, too. Reading the book closely was mostly worth it. (My mentor WFB, a Christian [Catholic] wasn't especially a fan of Ms. Rand, an atheist.) Ayn Rand was a visionary, but somewhat prolix. Nevertheless, it's heartening that Aaron Rodgers is interested in the intellectual side of life.. May he prosper.

Two comments. The libs were upset earlier with Rodgers because he “lied” about being vaccinated. They expressed their hatred of him in our local newspaper. Secondly, Rodgers is engaged to a lefty woke actress. I wonder what she has to say about him reading Atlas Shrugged. Maybe he can convert her.

There’s A Reason No One Likes Kamala Harris 38 replies
Posted by DW626 1/9/2022 9:07:56 AM Post Reply
Most people look at the choice of Kamala Harris for Vice President and scratch their head. “Why would anyone pick a person so wildly devoid of political talent or even the basics of likability?” they wonder. The conventional wisdom is that she checked the right number of boxes to fulfill left-wing interest group demands, which is partially true, of course. Overlooked, however, is how there is one more, rather good and important reason Joe Biden, or really any politician, would pick someone like Harris: because by comparison, you’ll always look better. Harris is such a singularly grating personality that she polls lower than lemon juice on an open wound.

There were a lot of head-smacking moments during oral arguments before the Supreme Court regarding Joe Biden’s OSHA vaccine mandate for companies with more than 100 employees. Even though I know the left wing of the court is packed with totalitarians, it always takes my breath away to hear them opine about how the government should be allowed to exercise almost unlimited power over Americans, and their cavalier attitude about the rights of individuals. What I did not expect to hear was Ohio Solicitor General Ben Flowers—a Republican appointee—arguing before the court that the state essentially has unlimited power to force individuals to take a vaccination.

Make no mistake about it, leftists lie. This is especially true of leftists in politics and the media. In fact, on most any matter dear to the left’s perverse agenda, one is safer assuming that the leftist you’re hearing or reading is lying. Thus, almost no one should’ve been surprised at the wild (and numerous) lies hurled by Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan, Stephen Breyer, and Sonia Sotomayor during oral arguments over the Biden Administration’s private sector Wuhan Virus vaccine mandate.

Say one thing for the once-august Smithsonian Institution: When they decide to do something, they go big.

Reality used to be the Smithsonian’s prime directive. Now? They’re now building a new collection, but it’s not devoted to science, history, industry, or anything so unifying and uplifting.

Ted was once the darling of intellectually inclined conservatives, but I think the bloom is now off that rose. Tucker Carlson used video of Cruz’s comments as the keystone of a segment on how Republicans are being cowardly and granting Democrats their false premises on the riot at the Capitol being an insurrection or even a “terrorist attack.” As Tucker put it, he was delivering talking points for Merrick Garland

Although the Democrats put most of their political capital in the Build More Communist Bill (known as the “Build Back Better Bill”), the bill that’s more important to them is actually the “For The People” Act, which has already passed in the House. If the Senate passes it, it will build into elections every type of pro-fraud procedure possible. To that end, Sen. Chuckie Schumer wrote to tell Republicans, who will be destroyed if the act passes, that they’d better pass the act or else he’ll destroy the filibuster and pass the act without them.

Over the last twenty months, Americans have learned that Anthony Fauci, the highest-paid federal employee, has a very utilitarian approach to the truth. In other words, he’ll say whatever is useful to him at the moment and call it the truth. However, eventually, when sufficiently cornered or unguarded, the truth will out. In this case, Fauci blundered into admitting that he knew that he, on behalf of the United States, was collaborating with the Chinese communists.

According to the mainstream media, print and digital, COVID is surging, omicron is deadly and everyone with a scratchy throat runs to a testing center to see if they are “infected.” It’s madness on a grand scale. Most of them are not infected but these thousands of hypochondriacs are waiting hours in line for a test that, even if negative, may be positive the next day. The clamor for more tests is ridiculous. Everyone has known since July that the PCR tests were faulty to the point of being entirely useless -- which the CDC finallynow admits.

There's a famous saying often attributed to Edmund Burke: "If you are not a liberal at 25, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at 35 you have no brain." Youth is attracted to liberalism because its ideals sound good — they really do. You'd have to be some kind of monster not to want to save the planet, lift up the poor, correct past injustices, and share equally in Earth's bounty. The problem with liberals is not their ideals; it's their actions — which never accomplish their intended purpose. That's because liberals are emotional, rather than rational, animals.

Texas scientists rolled out a new COVID-19 vaccine, saying it’s patent-free and can be produced by any manufacturer in any country. The vaccine, called Corbevax, was developed by the Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine. It has successfully passed human trials as safe and effective. The new treatment is based off protein-based technology that has been used in other vaccines for decades and it does not use MRNA. India has already authorized production of 100 million doses per month of the new vaccine. Meanwhile, Texas scientists say not-for-profit vaccines will help defeat COVID-19 quicker.

An American Airlines passenger has sparked a firestorm by complaining about a pilot whose case bore a sticker critical of Joe Biden. Dana Finley Morrison, a Missouri-based fraternity and sorority worker, was flying from St Lucia to Miami on Saturday when she spotted the pilot's 'Let's Go Brandon' sticker. The slogan began to circulate in September, when a Nascar reporter misheard the chants of 'F*** Joe Biden', and it has since become an anti-Biden rallying cry. Morrison tweeted to American Airlines, saying: 'Y'all cool with your pilots displaying this kind of cowardly rhetoric on their crew luggage when they're in uniform, about to board a plane?

New York — More than 800,000 noncitizens and “Dreamers” in New York City will have access to the ballot box — and could vote in municipal elections as early as next year — after Mayor Eric Adams allowed legislation to automatically become law Sunday. Opponents have vowed to challenge the new law, which the City Council approved a month ago. Unless a judge halts its implementation, New York City is the first major U.S. city to grant widespread municipal voting rights to noncitizens. More than a dozen communities across the U.S. already allow noncitizens to cast ballots in local elections, including 11 towns in Maryland and two in Vermont. CORRECTION*
