Imagine a kindergarten talent show where every child is handed a microphone, told they’re brilliant, and encouraged to scream whatever they feel. Facts are optional, and tantrums are welcome. Now replace those toddlers with embittered semi-celebrities clinging to cultural relevance, amplify their egos with national airtime, and broadcast it five days a week. That’s The View. What once was pitched as a platform for intelligent dialogue has morphed into a bitter cocktail of rage, identity politics, and intellectual laziness. Once known for its various voices, The View has devolved into a soapbox for those who believe their outrage is a virtue.

The view is what anarchy looks like. It is irrational. It is angry, for anger's sake. It is chaos. It rejects respect for any kind of order or law. It is driven by emotion without cause. It willfully lies and misrepresents. The people on the view deliver no value to society, even when they happen to trip over actual issues that need to be addressed. Their only purpose is to rabble rouse. The rabble bring no solutions to anything. If fact, the response to rioting is often harsh repression without any consideration of underlying issues. The people on the view are thugs that try to beat society into submission. Eventually, people get fed up with thugs. ABC created this mess and now realized their vicious dog has slipped the leash. When your vicious dog attacks someone, you get held accountable for the injuries it causes. ABC may have to put the view down.

More than being curious about why the 'ladies' of the View behave this way, I am interested in why it is allowed. I am not complaining mind you. The View has been an excellent advertisement for what will happen if you DON'T vote for Trump.

A friend mentioned she had seen on You Tube that Whoopi and Joy lost a lawsuit to Caroline Leavitt and were having to pay $800 million for defamation. Is that true? I googled and didn't see anything.

You could replace each panelist with a 100 pound bag of manure and no one would notice. Except manure actually can be a functional, useful item. Someone has been telling these harpies for way too long that they are so special that no one can tarnish their greatness. I am sure they believe that nothing but intelectual gold pours from their lips. I have never seen the view except when Gutfeld makes fun of them. Nasty, unlikeable, pathetic excuses for women. I cannot imagine listening to their venom everyday. I have been saying take any of these Jewish riots or verbal diatribes and replace the word Jew with Black or the n-word and see how long it is tolerated. They have the right to be disgusting but not the belief to think someone should actually pay them or watch them because they believe they are brilliant.

The opening description is perfect. These women were told they were wonderful, brilliant, incisive, but one has only to listen to Whoopi and the other racists on this show to realize they were sold a bill of goods. Especially Whoopi, whose one achievement as a movie star in one movies made her think she was a wizard. Well, whizzerd is more like it.

LOS ANGELES — Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg said Friday that Democrats have to figure out how to grow their party in order to help younger people pay their bills and focus on having fun and sex. He told comedian Bill Maher during an appearance on the “Real Time” show that assisting younger people with getting by will allow them to “focus on what young people should be focused on.” (snip) “Young people should be able to focus on what young people should be focused on, which is how to get laid and how to go and have fun,” the vice chair continued.

PLUM GROVE, Texas — A Texas land developer has established a sprawling settlement north of Houston where thousands of illegal immigrants are believed to have settled, raising concerns among experts and elected officials that the development 400 miles in the interior of the United States could become a strategic asset for cartels. Located in Liberty County, Texas near the small town of Plum Grove, the Colony Ridge development is a sprawling community that, based on an analysis of publicly available information, is now over 60 square miles and nearly the size of the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. Its population is estimated to be anywhere between 50,000 to 75,000

The tiny Italian island of Lampedusa should be a holiday paradise. The most southerly territory of Italy lies exactly between that country and north Africa. With a population of around 6,000, beautiful beaches, bars and restaurants it should be the perfect island get-away. But in recent years it has become a nightmare. And a petri dish for the problems that we are all going to go through in the 21st century. Especially America. The island’s history was always tricky. In the 1500s North African pirates raided the island, stole the whole population and took them off into slavery.

Lake's request to inspect 50 random early ballots from ballot envelopes was denied due to state law, per the judge.

It appears DEI is still alive and well in the US Secret Service even though there has been a change of guard. Two female US Secret Service Uniformed Division officers got into a physical fight outside of Barack Obama’s DC residence at 2:30 am on Wednesday. It is unclear if anyone was injured or disciplined over the fight. Per RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree: Two female Secret Service Uniformed Division officers got into a physical fight outside former President Obama’s D.C. residence while guarding it. The fracas occurred at roughly 2:30 a.m. early Wednesday morning, according to two sources in the Secret Service community.

During a blistering Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) was visibly floored after Energy Secretary Christopher Wright dropped a bombshell: the Department of Energy handed out a staggering $93 billion in loans and commitments during the final 76 days of the Biden administration, a figure that more than doubled the loan total from the previous 15 years combined. Kennedy, in classic fashion, drilled in with precision. “The 76-day period you’re talking about, that’s the period between the time that President Trump was elected and President Biden left office. Is that right?” “That is correct,” Wright confirmed. Kennedy didn’t mince words

The two were reportedly set to get engaged next week. It’s an almost unimaginable crime. On Thursday, Pirro announced that Rodriguez may pay the ultimate penalty

In his first public remarks since sharing an image of seashells arranged on a beach to form the numbers “86 47,” Comey told MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace he found it “hard to have regret” over the post that he still believes looks “totally innocent” — saying it was “crazy” that anyone would see it as a call for violence

How do you solve a problem like Iran? 17 replies
Posted by Hazymac 5/23/2025 3:10:42 PM Post Reply
Many pro-Israel people I know, both Jewish and non-Jewish, are deeply worried about Trump’s current Middle East positions. He’s marginalizing Israel in negotiations with Saudi Arabia, accepting on the government’s behalf a luxury plane from double-dealing Qatar, and handing money to the goons in Syria. At the same time, he’s seemingly freezing out Israel, to the great consternation of Israel and its supporters. So, what gives? Having read Charles Lipson’s superb analysis of the problems in dealing with an almost nuclear Iran, and how Biden created this monster, I suspect that “what gives” may be Trump trying an out-of-the-box approach to isolating Iran long enough for his economic policies

Left-wing media very much wants President Donald Trump to have dementia. At first, they began peddling this narrative to distract from former President Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline. Now, they are likely using it for a similar reason. The Insider published a so-called “investigation” into Trump’s supposed cognitive issues during his second term. It enlisted several mental health professionals to support their narrative. Dr. Bandy Lee, formerly of Yale University, claimed the president is showing clear signs of early dementia. These signs include reduced vocabulary, incoherence, impulsivity, and “paraphasias,”

Spanish authorities were experimenting with how far they could push their reliance on renewable energy before the Iberian Peninsula was hit with a massive power outage last month, it has been suggested. As people wait for more answers on what caused the power cut that disrupted tens of millions of lives across Spain and Portugal, several have questioned Spain's heavy reliance on renewable energy sources as it plans to phase out nuclear reactors. Spain's socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has rejected such criticism, asking for patience while the government investigates the causes of the historic blackout.
