Joe Rogan discusses the "Red Wave"
He's not a propogandist like our Main Stream Media types and he's much more in touch with the average Joe. We'll find out in a week whether he's right or wrong.

Level 1
Democrats- this about sums it up: "a hard-to-hide contempt for the American people and their values"
(no message)Imposing corporate abuse, neglect and greed on deserving victims.-
Level 2
Everything the democrat left touches it destroys. Their mission goal is to make everyone miserable.
(no message)-
Level 3
How does fighting for Civil Rights, Social Security, Medicare make people miserable?...if anyone is
making it their mission to create misery for others it's the ones who fought against such efforts...btw, the list of examples is not only much longer...it is getting longer as we speak.-

Re: How does fighting for Civil Rights, Social Security, Medicare make people miserable?...if anyone is
In addition to that, the left keeps pushing the narrative that if you're not a straight white male or part of the "lucky" top 1%, you're an oppressed victim. They push these people - especially LGBT, as simply better people who are virtuous while straight white males are not. (I have a couple of white left-wing friends on Facebook who outright said it would be a better country if all white males were dead.)
Acting like poor people are poor because of oppression and not their own actions, like having multiple kids out of wedlock with absent fathers. Pushing a voting "rights" bill that will basically let anyone vote, even illegal aliens, to try to insure Democrat domination for years. Biden administration enacting (like Obama did) numerous and burdensome regulations. Trying to artificially rush green energy into existence before it is feasible and economical to do so. And a lot more.

Tyrone must forget that the Dems opposed the civil rights act. Strange.

LOL...President Lyndon Johnson (D) signed the Civil Rights Act...after out-flanking the
racist Southern Democrats who later joined today's Republican Party as a result to the GOP's "Southern Strategy"...do a little research...for your own good, so that you don't continually embarrass yourself.

Level 5
Mark, are you against Civil Rights, Social Security and Medicare as primary examples of Democratic
activism?...if not, know that the GOP fought tooth and nail to defeat those efforts...if you need any more evidence of which party has the public's best interests...and not moneyed self interests...you're beyond edification.
As to the topics you bring up...
>The LGBTQ community of U.S. citizens are indeed being oppressed...just look at DeSantis' "Don't Say Gay" initiative. That is simply unjust and I've used the example of Alan Turing's oppression as a clear example of how stupid that is more than once....fortunately, 71% (and rising) of Americans could care less if gays and lesbians choose to get married...but there are still laggards who oppose it...don't be one of them.
btw, NO ONE is oppressing straight, or white people...that's just an attempted cover story for continued oppression by a vile subset of them.
>The number of people who can't afford the basic needs of life is increasing...and expanding...to include what was the middle class. This is due to the dramatic expansion of our nation's 'Wealth Gap' which is caused by an unwillingness of the top 1% to share the fruits of increased productivity produced by ALL members of the economy...we can, and should, revisit that topic which I've brought up before...in short, the 'Horatio Alger' story is being way oversold.
>Democrats DO NOT support non-citizens voting in national elections...fact. btw, when it comes to local elections, there is precedent in 14 states (Red and Blue) for non-citizens to vote...and there are good reasons for that suffrage.
>'Regulations' are imposed when trying to correct a problem...the EPA was created under Nixon because of numerous and very serious environmental abuses conducted by various industries...clearly, the pursuit of profit needs to be balanced by the public interest...can regulations become burdensome and counter-productive?...absolutely, and I know from personal experience in the nuclear industry how out of touch with reality it can get...BUT, that only means that more focus on specifics is needed...not a wholesale rejection of "Regulations"...make any sense?
>As for rushing 'Green Energy', we are 'Way Behind' IMO in this area...note my background in Nuclear Power...should have started decades ago shifting away from FFs...Climate Change is real, and our country has only 5 years of Proven Oil Reserves left (EIA fact)...even if we triple that number tomorrow, we are still in imminent danger...you need to digest these realities and act accordingly...i.e. push your congressional reps to speed up the transition while doing the hard work of keeping the plane flying...it's a tough challenge, but there's no other choice.
The sooner you appreciate how totally screwed up the GOP has become, the sooner you'll be able to add your voice and vote to getting better leadership in that party...we need TWO SANE parties to conduct our democracy...right now there's only one...the Democratic Party.

Level 6
No one is oppressed in the U.S. That's insulting to those who really are
LGBT people have freedoms and privileges many around the world only dream of. Not sure you understand the definition of "oppressed."
I checked some articles about oil reserves. What I found is they have increased dramatically since 2010.
I'm not against other forms of energy. What I AM against (let me rephrase this better) is artificially shutting down fossil fuel use and production prematurely. We need to keep developing other energy and replace fossil fuels accordingly and proportionately. The Dems' rushing to artificially eliminate fossil fuel use/production before alternative fuel sources/systems can be fully developed and implemented is just stupid.

He answers only in leftist sound bites, not worth the time or the effort.Jersey Sucks! -
Level 7
Ok, Mark...how do you explain DeSantis' "Don't Say Gay" Bill if there is no LGBTQ oppression?
As regards oil reserves...just Google "How many years of Proven Oil Reserves does the U.S. have at its current level of consumption?"...you'll find the answer in the U.S. energy "Bible"...i.e. the Energy Information Administration (EIA)...tell me what answer you get...btw, the Alaskan ANWR field is predicted to supply somewhere between 6 mo's to a little over a year's worth of additional oil reserves at current consumption rates...nice, but not a game changer for us (forgetting about Climate Change)...we'll need it for non-burning uses (fertilizers, medicines, plastics, etc.).
As for 'Shutting Down Prematurely"...we are beginning a "Transition", which means huge capital expenditures will be made starting now (e.g. multi-billion dollar EV Battery factories in the U.S. and Europe)...also, new infrastructure projects, like Charging Stations need to be built to handle the increasing number of EVs...like within ten years that will require many billions of dollars...then, near the ten year mark and beyond there will be much more investment in nuclear power plants, nuclear waste recycling plants, as well as appropriately employed Solar and Wind power plants. All this takes CAPITAL that won't be available, nor intended for FF development...that, btw, is already being "Baked In" to the strategic planning of Oil & Gas companies the world over.
Making the future "Dove Tail" with the present seamlessly is an extremely difficult task...we can only do our best to "Keep the Plane Flying", while dealing with frightened FF supplier nations, wars, etc...nonetheless, I'll say it again..."WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE".
Am I making myself clear?

Re: Ok, Mark...how do you explain DeSantis' "Don't Say Gay" Bill if there is no LGBTQ oppression?
The bill signed by De Santis is not LGBT oppression. The main thing is public school teachers cannot discuss sexual things with students before third grade, if I remember the grade correctly. If that's oppression, I bet every gay person in the Islamic Middle East would sign up in a heartbeat.

Level 7
So far, I'm just short of the 8 minute mark...I'll go a bit further, but I think I have the premise
of Mr. Murray's argument...i.e. all those "Bad Things"...colonialism, imperialism, exploitation, etc. happened a long time ago...things are different now...people are waging a war against all the "Good" things that Western Civilization has done just to relive the past and demand reparations that aren't due them...'cause "I" didn't have any part in it.
Problem is, when it comes to "Racism", things haven't changed so much that the effects are no longer palpable...IMO, Charlottesville and the rise in Social Media activity by White Nationalists is testimony to the fact that it is very much a problem here in the U.S.. Not only that, but anti-LGBTQ activity is another form of oppression that is embedded within our GOP...witness the "Don't Say Gay" contribution from Ron DeSantis, so please don't peddle the "Don't Blame Me" smoke generator that Mr. Murray is selling...if you are excusing, or ignoring the words coming out of GOP candidates' mouths...or their refusal to castigate those who utter racist and/or anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, you are one of them.
I'll also offer you a chance to learn more, by recommending former GOP strategist, Stuart Stevens' book "It Was All A Lie" in which the first chapter is entitled "Race, the Original Republican Sin".
I'll return to Mr. Murray's video tomorrow, but candidly, I'll probably 'fast forward' in a few spots if I'm witnessing more of the first 8 minutes.
Note: As the progeny of my Irish Grandfather from Northern Ireland, I've taken the time to speak with my cousins there and do some research of my own...yes, things are considerably better, but they and I have memories of what transpired during the 'Golden Age' of Western colonialism and they are not only ugly from our POV, but those gains, from a human perspective were "Ill Gotten", paid with suffering and lives of those oppressed...and their progeny still reap the benefits...that's a fact that can't be swept under the rug. The challenge now is how to ensure such behavior never happens again, along with a heartfelt recognition of how truly "Bad" it was as we move forward together in like mind.
Mr. Murray's 'Dismissiveness' is not helping.

Here is an embed where he summarizes.
The entire woke movement has completely jumped the shark. If there is a (to borrow Van Jones' term, which is another example) WhiteLash in a week, I think that people like you will lie to yourselves and say stupid things like "I guess this country is more racist than we thought" when the actual reason will be that people are sick of the bullshit.

Level 8
You think that teachers should be teaching LGBTQ sexual content to K-3?
And you consider this a civil rights issue? What about the civil rights of the children?

I’m hopeful but will believe it when it happens. Even if it does, I don’t expect the GOP to do much
Anyone in Washington is pretty much worthless and are only looking to protect their own interests.I hold the record for most deleted posts. +139. Must protect the Helpers!-
Level 2
Even if they do nothing,it is necessary to save our country
From these radicals.We can't forget what they have done/ undone in 2 yrs.-
Level 3
You're not wrong but I was just going off of the past and how weak they are normally.
Maybe there will be a influx of new blood with some balls.I hold the record for most deleted posts. +139. Must protect the Helpers!

History is on your side yet 'Cons still hoping and praying. That's when you know you have a fringe
party.-

Fringe, as in D supported BLM and antifa and defund police? That kind of fringe?
Arson, riots, bombings, murder, destruction, looting. That's a whole lot of fringe. That's when you know you have a fringe.
