Americans are a Silly People

 Bill Maher called Americans a "silly people" while discussing how China is cleaning America's clock.

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.

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.

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?

Anonymous said...

@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.

Anonymous said...

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.

Anonymous said...

@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.

Anonymous said...

@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.

Anonymous said...

@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!

Anonymous said...

@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".

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.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
