AITOOW wonders why the Ghostbusters released Jerry Nadler?

Big Problem

AITOOW thinks we have a bigger problem with people over a certain height evincing patterns of meglomanis than we do with short people? Tak eyour Comeys. Your DeBlassios. They seem to think themselves superior because they can literally look down on you. I'l bet neither can even dunk a basketball. Among their many limitations.

You Don't Say So

AITOOW wonders which holocaust collaborator lives (or did) in the penthouse at 969 Fifth Ave between Fifth and Madison on 78th St in Manhattan?

And (sort of unrelated) why don't people ever mention Bloomberg TV when they cite illiberal media?

BLAME

AITOOW would like to start an organization called Black Leaders Are Mostly Extortionists? And does Congresswoman Talib believe that sharia law is also something we need to do away with?

I also encourage people (again) to rediscover the works of Ayn Rand (especially the books which are a compilation of her articles) before people like Bezos categorize them as hate speech. They are a good history lesson on illiberalism from the Thirties through the (first) me generation. Much of what is transpiring today has already occurred in this country (and the world) semi-recently. Tom Wolfe also has some funny articles on the topic. Kudos to Bari Weiss.

I also heard a great (very informed) talk show host while traveling to Great Basin NP in NV. I'm not sure where the signal was coming from. It may have been UT or ID. Around 2pm. On 570 or 590, I think. He said he was (or is) in the government in some capacity. He was speaking of the government's take over of our food supply networks because of Wu Flu (among many things) and how it now is using block chain and AI to monitor everyone in the supply chain. Including you. It started with the military supply chain. I believe it was innocently started to weed out foreign sabotage. But, it could really be militarized (no pun intended) if Marxists are put in power again. Very ominous. They will be able to track everything everyone does and work with major international companies (who love it because it culls competition) to frustrate anyone who won't (or can't ) comply. Plus they get to spy on you. More bad news for mom and pops and small farmers. And this was just one thing he spoke of. I'm not impressed easily. He was outstanding.

And as I am speaking about talk shows, is there a worse theme song than the one on Hannity? That stupid country song makes me wince. I don't want a little wang in my ying yang. He also cuts off his guests too frequently and drones on and on about the same crap. Every show is like a re-run. Every take is repetitive.

No Justice No War

AITOOW thinks 2020 will be a repeat of 2018 for one simple reason? Republicans are too well trained. They don't cause a fuss. They don't They don't stand up for themselves. They don't scare the great undecided into voting with them. As such, they will vote with the mob. In the misperception that things will calm down. The squeaky wheel syndrome. You can see it playing out in states where government is imposing martial law. Hell, it doesn't need to be martial. These pussies cow to threats and edicts. The July 4th beach shut downs in CA (and lack of dissent) emboldened the governor into canceling schools. That and pressure from the craven teacher's union (and the selfish paid upfront teacher themselves) to close it down. Quick question. Why can't they hire one "super" teacher to virtually teach every student? And then furlough all the others? I'll bet we'd have students back in the classroom then. I also wonder what would happen if Republicans in blue states don't send in their census form as a n act of protest. It would decrease the number of representatives (and national influence) their states have. Something they shouldn't mind. Their states already are already in hock, so, the reduction in federal aid wouldn't matter much. They'll just borrow more. Plus, they can move after and still give their state a ten year FU.

Do you think there is any chance the illiberals are responsible for increased Wu Flu infections? Could they be so low as to encourage their voters to swamp testing centers and (worse) get the flu o purpose? Or are their constituents just that irresponsible. I'm basing this on the facts that I'm told it is a racist virus and you never hear (the one time) racial break downs on the news.

And why are La Raza and Bernie Bros never mentioned when mayhem rears its ugly head. Did we forget about them?

Flake News

AITOOW wonders why they report on "pending legislation" that has no hope of passing both houses or being vetoed? Especially from the democrats in the House. On conservative media outlets. Is it just to rile up the audience? Make them tune in? It makes me tune out. You hear it a lot on their news updates on the hour or commercial breaks. It just seems to increase the celebrity of the cranks in opposition. I would ask the listeners to request these outlets practice a little more impulse control (or rank manipulation). They are the adults. They shouldn't be manipulated like children. And advertisers should request this too. It can't make their customers eager to buy. Unless they sell stress relief (is that good for My Pillow?) or protective services and products. They also seek out acting officials in the administration to respond to these fantasies. I would prevent them from acknowledging these queries if I were in charge. Or demand they denounce them or treat them with the disrespect they deserve. Ala the new press secretary.

And have you noticed that almost every interview now is like an episode of Law and Order. Cops or DAs interrogating a perp. There is no civility. Why sit down for these interrogations?

And what are the combined Nielsen (or whatever diagnostic service they use) ratings for all illiberal news/talk outlets? Limbaugh claims 55 million. Are they close? I hear that their ratings are always falling. What is the number? Include print and social-ist media. Are they so low that they should be ignored? I mean literally ignored. As in not acknowledged at press briefings. Have a minimum audience number to be let in the room.

Moneybail

AITOOW thinks it's odd that all the players sitting out the baseball season are washups whom their clubs are probably glad they don't have to pay? All are blocked at their positions by younger, better players. All have been dead weight for quite a while. You would think these would be exactly the type of players that WOULDN"T sit out. I wonder if their contracts get pushed forward a year with no loss in duration? That would make it may comprehensible.
