Silly? Maybe.

Brainwashed consumers and rootless cosmopolitans? Definitely!

As much as he is a disagreeable fellow, difficult not to admit he is right. Very right. He would be much easier to like without the vulgar language.

They have eaten our lunch worldwide; time way past time to wake up to this fact.

Politicians, with the notable exception of Trump, have gone along with the CCP, many, especially democraps, in lock step.

A possible case can be made that Trump caused the covid pandemic because he was the first American President to stick his finger in the eye of the CCP, and this was their retaliation. It harmed the world, especially the USA, and moved them from second to first place economically. May sound far out, but just remember that in the last century the CCP leadership bumped off some many (perhaps as many as 100) millions of their own citizens for political hegemony. And they have a pattern of doing what will work.

Remember when Walmart proudly touted "made in America"? Not too long ago. Then suddenly, and quietly, they dropped that and most of their wares were made in china. It made the Waltons some of the richest people in the world.

Maybe Bill Maher can visit Jackson and update this segment.

I've never been a big fan of Bill Marher. Too sarcastic for my taste. But, boy, has he nailed it in this commentary! UsA has many positives despite Marher's views. But we've lost our discipline, patience and sense of unity. Just we wait, China will move on Taiwan in the next several years and USA won't be able to do much about it . . . despite our many pledges to Taiwan. The view from under that bus will be dreadful.

They will take us over and never fire the first shot. Thanks Nancy, Bill, Chuck, Barry Sotoro, Hillary, Jerry, and the many democrats that love what’s going on today. And yes, the biowarfare was intended to disrupt us. And it did. The sheep still wear their masks. Oh, by the way, I went for a flu shot and the doctor said that there is no more flu, pneumonia, or sinusitis It’s all been eradicated.

Discipline will always defeat the undisciplined, however it's achieved. We are a country spoiled on freedoms which we take for granted. The Chinese know nothing about being spoiled or taking their prosperity for granted. Head to head we will get our asses kicked against such people. Most of our people don't even realize we are competing, much less losing. In the 60's we were aware that the Russians were competing with us, and we were determined to win. The Chinese are far more formidable than the Russians and we are asleep.

The motto for china is "Obey us or end up 6 foot underground."

服从我们或最终在地下6英尺

Since World War II we have had it made in this country. Most of the world has been screwed up or recovering from the War which made us Number One. We had a powerful military and a CIA which could keep the status quo. Lately things have changed. It's all global now and even China has joined the party. No more free ride. Meritocracy! Are you ready!

Not a Bill Maher fan, but he is absolutely right. America needs to wake up and regain its equilibrium. It's time to: quit trying to dumb down the public schools so we can pretend everyone is getting an education; get back to actually offering college courses that actually educate rather than indoctrinate; quit playing the race card for everything under the sun; and call bs on many of our woke ideas like biology doesn't define whether you are male or female. When there is an advanced course created for the best and the brightest, how absurd to hold a lottery where the dumbest kid in the room may get in while another kid who has a high IQ and could really benefit from the class gets left out. Should athletic teams also hold a lottery to see who gets to make the team, regardless of athletic ability? The USA needs to get its collective common sense out of its coma and put it back to work before it's too late.

Clarion-Ledger article the other day:

During Trump's 4 years, not a single job returned to American. I was surprised to read that.

My favorite part of Maher's latest observation,

To paraphrase:

China is focused on upgrading their military to achieve superiority across the planet.

While Americans are arguing with each other about 1940's cartoons, Dr. Seuss books, or if the Mr. Potato Head toy has a penis.

What happened in America over the last 40 years is that mass media successfully pushed a message that says you will be judged by how much you "care" about the weak/unfortunate, not by how much you achieve, or emulate and celebrate the smartest and/or strongest.

America is really nothing but a big show business platform where everything is meant so make you "feel good".....but it's all phony, corporate marketing.

American children especially have been fully conditioned to believe that they are never to experience discomfort or "unfairness".

So, the entire country has rotted to its center. It will take a civil war to wrest back a sense of discipline, character, and work ethic in its people, and its children.....before China owns what once was the U.S.

Because of the allowance of constant whining and complaining “role models” on social media and television, our country has raised a weak generation. China is on its way to world domination and our kids are to slothy to stand up against it.

“ What happened in America over the last 40 years is that mass media successfully pushed a message that says you will be judged by how much you "care" about the weak/unfortunate, not by how much you achieve, or emulate and celebrate the smartest and/or strongest”

Nah, it’s a lot of evidence that it was the Reagan administration. They messed up a lot and people are obsessed with the culture war directly because of him. Jerry Falwell as well.

@7:09 and 7:54
Baby boomers are to blame for all of this. The USA decayed to shit under their watch. They have held nearly all political and academic power in this nation for the last 40+ years. The first, and still the worst “Me” generation. Think about the legacy they are leaving behind.

While he will continue to vote for the side that advocates for most of the silliness he discusses.

China is buying us with our money!

@9:22
They are also paying taxes and buying US treasuries. They are buying the world actually. Look into their work ion the continents of Africa, Australia, and South America. China has moved much of their North American assembly and finish work to Mexico. They are doing a modern day version of the “Marshall Plan” to their own economic benefit. And they will be right there with cash and contracts ready to pick our corpse clean when we fall.

8:26: Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. They were and are Republicans, Democrats and independents, and they voted their conscious at the polls. What the heck have the people born in the 50+ years since the last boomer was born been doing to America? History will judge your generation as well. How's that going for you?

@10:48
It’s currently 90% Boomer in all seats of power in the USA right now. That number has been growing since the 1970s.

But keep blaming your children, grandchildren, and now great grandchildren for your epic selfish f*ckups.

Blame? WTF. What the hell difference does it make if my father or grandfather caused this shit? It's still ALL our responsibility to clean this mess up because it's OUR asses on the line. No generation stands alone. That's what's wrong with our country now, we think every man, every little faction stands in isolation and they take separate blame. If we lose this race we ALL take the blame.

@11:10

So you're saying the children of the Greatest Generation are establishing themselves as the greatest generation of f*ckups. Wow, that is pretty sobering.

@1:57

We should be all in it together. That is the issue. We are all losing the race because the responsibility is not being shared by the boomers that do/did not want to let go of or share power. I am not 10:48, by the way.

@1:57
That’s another part of the problem today. You have too many people in powerful positions who don’t want to accept responsibility for their actions. Too often we hear “let’s not point fingers” and “whats done is done, does it matter now?” and also “let’s just work together to find solutions, instead of blaming others”

Okay then here is the first step.... RESIGN and accept responsibility for YOUR MISTAKES!

It is especially infuriating when everyone knows who made the mess but they are allowed to keep a position of power in government!

@2:37 Well said. The Boomers wanted their children to have 10 second chances in life with no failure, no natural consequences, no limitations, because their stoic Greatest Generation parents were so unforgiving for having to live through perpetual wars, economic go without, etc.

So, NOW everyone believes everything is unfair when it gets hard. Not sure what the solution is.....all Boomers (and they should) resign in disgrace?, or that Millennials/Gen Z harden up and let go of their addiction to technology and entertainment, get off the Adderal and get in the political game that doesn't advocate socialism and forces personal responsibility to be sexy again? That is possible, but the media won't allow "accountability" to even be mentioned, because it's "oppressive".

@5:04
Simple. Their wealth should be confiscated and they should be sent to gulag to pay for their crimes.

@10:38am Yikes. That might just happen with what they've allowed to develop in our government due to their lack of vigilance.

One of the biggest problems I see with American Politics is lack of Term Limits. I don't expect a lot of political reform or change for the better until we the people demand that our representatives have limited terms in office. Some of our reps. have been in office far too long. Let the young people in. Learn, grow, evolve. Stagnation is stifling. 2 terms max.
