Karen Handel won the highly-contested special election in Georgia yesterday. It was the most expensive race in Congressional history, most of it spent on behalf of the Democrat. If Handel had lost, the media would have called it a “political earthquake.” Now it’s already almost a non-item and history has been revised: “safe seat,” “he had no chance,” etc.
The second most important question anyone can face is this: is there an afterlife? Dennis explains.
David Brooks, NY Times “conservative” columnist and a Never Trumper, is coming around to the view that the media has created a witch hunt over Russia and Trump… A Georgetown Law Professor asks a bunch of very silly questions about the President… Dennis talks to David French, senior writer for National Review. He teaches the latest course at Prager University, “When Transparency Really Means Tyranny.”
The Left has a very difficult time confronting evil. It’s too painful… Dennis is haunted by the fate of Otto Warmbier, the student who was murdered by the North Koreans… The media is very hopeful that Jon Ossoff can win a Congressional seat away from Republicans. Ossoff speaks like JFK, but will vote like Maxine Waters.
Tomorrow there is a big election in Georgia. The Democrats are very anxious for a win. Right now, the race is rated as even… The news media no longer reports news, they state opinions. And their opinion is that Trump must go… The President is doing a lot of good things, almost every day.
Being a father is now culturally controversial… The US shoots down a Syrian jet… Another car attack in London. This time it looks like Muslims were the target… A US destroyer collided with a container ship off waters in Japan, or was it rammed? Seven sailors were killed… Are the defenders of the President as vicious as his attackers – like Kathy Griffin.
Megyn Kelly had the controversial, conspiracy theory media figure, Alex Jones, on her new show last night. Why did she think he was worth her attention? The answer is to make him the face of conservativism… The media is engaged in its own conspiracy: that the President conspired with the Russians to rig the election… BBC writes a grotesque headline re: a murder of an Israeli in Jerusalem.
Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: can you be good without wisdom; can you compare President Trump and King David; do the unhappy gravitate to the Left.
In honor of Father’s Day, Dennis discusses the importance of fathers in the happiness of children. Callers have their stories. Many are deeply moving.
The Left is desperate for change. We see this most obviously in the arts… The Left has contempt for the American dream of a house with a picket fence, two cars, kids, religion… The Special Counsel has now hired 13 lawyers. Will he be brave enough to admit that their investigation turned up nothing of consequence?… The NYT shamed itself in a recent editorial when it renewed the lie that the attempt to kill Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was inspired by Sarah Palin.
Highlights from the week of 6/16/2017
We now demand people have credentials to do things that really need no credentials… Dennis talks to Michael Lucchese who wrote a piece in The Federalist disagreeing with Dennis’s characterization of the Left/Right conflict as civil war.
