Nellie is replaceable and TGIF has transformed itself into a group therapy session for conservatives, Bari has lost what made the substance compelling, so predictable its sad......H Walker......... this is what its come to
I really enjoy reading the comments. It gets me thinking and wanting to engage, so thank you Bari for providing this space. In many ways, this comment section is no different from those on social media. We've got some troublemakers who just want to get us riled up and they are monopolizing the conversation. We've got extremism, where we declare ourselves on one side or the other of complex issues, and we have some jokesters - my favorites - who make us laugh! Just an observation. I'm a little late as it is Monday morning and this conversation has passed, but I read slowly and it takes me awhile to get through. Have a nice week my fellow Substack readers and listeners.
"the abortion, the obvious lying, the volatility"... Funny how the 'story' or narrative about Walker just suddenly found its way into the 'news' right before an election. Sorry, based on the 'media's' bias and performance the last 30 years, I give Walker the benefit of the doubt. Regarding Loesch's comments... Hmmm... democrats had violate state election laws to install the most fundamentally flawed human in D.C. BernieBros were denied their vote in 2016 and 2020 just like Trumpers were in 2020.
Oil and Gas: It is well known that the United States has over 400 years of both that were specifically targeted by the 'Biden' administration for complete prohibition. They can blame OPEC all they want. As Trump showed, cheap energy is the key to a cleaner world and democrats have completely blocked it. As a side note... per friends of mine in the ME, OPEC is cutting production for many reasons, but namely to help remove Biden as he supports the Muslim Brotherhood. Please put the blame where it lies.
Yes I've had the same experience and often with friends I've had for 20-50 years. Sometimes I go through the process of making a list of safe topics to cover before I talk or meet with them just so I can keep in touch with lifelong friends and family members who have always been important to me.
yes I agree there’s a lot of missed opportunity and in turn a legitimacy problem. Just as the Dems could win every vote in America if they just start agreeing to drill and refine oil again, Reps could win a lot more votes if they stop refusing a moderate position on abortion or this nonsense of not agreeing to gay marriage. Most people don’t want that but each party is catering to the extremes now.
The view of most democrats I know (which is most of the people I know) was succinctly stated by one who said “don’t talk to me about republicans. There’s nothing worse than a Jewish republican”. (We are all Jewish so this is not an anti-Jewish statement just an anti-republican one). When this is their attitude they don’t care which party supports BDS or the JCPOA, they could campaign on the very destruction of Israel, they’ll still vote Dem every time.
Who is this guy filling in for the irreplaceable Nellie Bowles this week, you ask?
Noah, I ask that question every Friday because Nelli IS IRREPLACEABLE... so no worries, we are happy will all of you and waiting for Nellie to come back changed by motherhood.
I don't envy Georgia voters; they have two poor choices for Senate, to put it mildly. I wish almost anyone but Walker were the candidate. But going to the Dana Loesch comment, it needs to be pointed out that Democratic voters do this very same thing in spades. They will and do vote for male candidates with a history of bad treatment of women, whether it be domestic abuse, sexual harassment and assault, only because that candidate supports abortion. Warnock is an accused domestic abuser but do they care? Do their principles stop them from voting their political agenda? Hardly. Neither side exactly has the moral high ground here.
It is always a good thing to check the facts when you write about a story. Turns out, there are no people in Federal prisons for marijuana offenses. Just another lie by Biden to influence his base (like the student loan forgiveness lie...he and all Democrats know it will be held up in courts for years and never come to be...but they want their voters to believe they are actually doing something for them!).
Oh, I'm sure you've been mad about a lot of stuff that's happened since 1965.
Really need to get Bari back quick. Just a bunch of Beltway/ Wall Street parrots who leave out most of the news and analysis. Unwittingly or not.

Alright Nellie... let's get that baby weaned and get back to work... Not sure how much more of this I can take...
This is, surprisingly, a really funny column.

And I will not be gaslighted into silence.

Keep the good work
Outstanding! Covers a lot of ground with wit and humor.
Pemuliz DMZ, I agree,the dem followers have definitely made up their minds without regard to letting facts get in the way.
They love to be card carrying members of the Con-U-Most party, the party that cons you the most.

I'm sorry. I know it's a sign of the end times. But if we lived in San Francisco, we'd take our dogs to Dogue for the tasting menu.
