Whatever one thinks of Donald Trump or Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., it's hard not to be impressed by the dignified way Cheryl Hines has stood by her husband's decision to back Trump. Hines rose to stardom as an actress playing the part of Larry David's wife in the smash comedy success Curb Your Enthusiasm.
For the last several days she has been the target of vile and shameful attacks from her colleagues in Hollywood. We can’t repeat them here because we are rated PG. Remember, these are the same beautiful people who endlessly boast about how tolerant they are. (Hines, by the way, isn't even a conservative. And she's been critical of Trump.)
Unlike RFK, Jr.'s revolting family members who staged a press conference to call him a "traitor," Hines has not withered even though she has acknowledged that she may never again land a major role in Hollywood for her apostasy. When asked why she supports his decision, her answer was beautifully put: "Because he is my husband. I would never want to hurt Bobby. I love him."
We guess standing by your man is a quaint and outdated concept, but we still find it admirable.
Ironically, the Kennedy family presents a Profile in Courage Award each year. Hines should win it.
We're all for the wonders of the digital age and celebrate the huge productivity gains from cell phones, the internet, social media networks, and now artificial intelligence.
But is too much of a good thing a bad thing? Is the online, social media, and computer games obsession/addiction creating a generation of socially isolated and digitally dependent kids?
This chart shows that teens are now spending on average less than one hour a day with real-life friends – and that's a third of the time than was true 20 years ago. We fear that online activities and “screen time” are the crack cocaine of this young generation.
3) What Do Kamala Harris and Groucho Marx Have in Common?
Groucho Marx used to recite a famous line that perfectly encapsulates the Kamala Harris flip-flops on nearly every issue: "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them – well, I have others."
Kamala seems to trade in her old principles and positions for new ones every few days. So we weren't at all surprised that her staffers now tell us that Kamala is no longer for banning fracking, the Green New Deal, banning gas cars, or imposing carbon taxes.
She’s even now apparently FOR the border wall – that she and Biden stopped building and that she attacked as anti-American.
Ok got it. Thanks for the clarification. Forget everything she said when she was in the Senate, and when she was running for president the last time, and when she helped implement in the White House in her "integral role" as Biden's Tonto.
For a refresher on her earlier iron-clad and unwavering positions, we recommend this compilation from our friends at the American Energy Alliance.
We remember a time not so long ago when we were told to be sure to eat our fruits and vegetables, but now Bloomberg isn’t so sure.
Bloomberg is now hyping a social activist who wants to limit refrigeration (to end the “global cold rush”) and tells people that eating fewer tomatoes may help save the planet.
Sorry. We'll have tomatoes with our BLT and salad whenever we want, thank you very much.
By the way, refrigeration saves millions of people each year from food-borne illnesses.
Our friends at the Daily Sceptic alerted us that the German state broadcaster SWR is using its mandatory license fees from taxpayers to produce a virtual reality video game that is marinated in climate hysteria and the villains are the oil companies and anyone who doesn’t subscribe to their religion.
The game is called GreenGuardiansVR. Players shoot lasers at climate deniers flying above them to save the planet from disinformation.
It begins with the fictitious E.V.I.L. oil company – whose "slick" leader has actual oil flowing through his veins.
The trailer promoting the game is in German but the pictures are worth a thousand screams.
Project leader Tim Philipp, who developed the game for SWR, says the purpose of the game is to expose Big Oil's "disinformation campaign" and rally people to oppose it.
Don't think this kind of crazy idea won't spread to government-funded broadcasters in the U.S. and other countries. Even if PBS in the U.S. turns it down, there is always MSNBC.
