Joe Rogan?

I rarely listen to hate radio, I just happened to run across an article that featured Rogan speaking to the California wildfires and I found his commentary rather dangerous. This might be typical of these guys, but, Rogan is not qualified to be dismissive of the cause of such enormous damage to our country.

I think the Americans that lean to the right and especially the extremists tend to dispel the authority of being learned. I think Rogan is the best example of this today. 

Rogan has no college education. He specialized in physical competition at any early age and then found success in beating up Democrats and now hosts an experience everyday that brings him an audience and guests that can add to the political incompetency of that audience. Today, from the article I read, he was actually dangerous in his radio leadership. 

Joe Rogan is blaming the homeless for the wildfires that occurred in California. He enjoyed demasculinating Governor Newsom as if incompetent. He stated the climate crisis so basically a hoax and not the reason for the wildfires that killed, maimed, endangered, and destroyed.

I looked at the burn scar that was the beginning of the New Year’s Eve fire and there is a possibility it was a careless individual or party of people that caused that initial fire. After the initial fire reignited it was the wind that escalated that reignition out of control.

While a spark lit the initial fire it was the climate crisis that caused the infernos that took lives and burnt homes and businesses into ash destroying entire communities. There is absolutely no way the homeless can be blamed for the wildfires in California.

I find Joe Rogan immature, irresponsible, completely uninformed, and an absolute danger to every listener of his program. He CAUSES attitudes that decrease awareness, limit options, cause MISDIRECTION, and quite frankly it is those attitudes that may have ignited the initial fire on New Year’s Eve.

When the public is blind sided like that, danger rather than awareness and preparedness are the outcomes allowing immature, irresponsible, uninformed, and dangerous attitudes even about one’s own life.

The next four years are going to see an escalation of the climate crisis. Like the pandemic the choices Americans will make will either save their lives or waste them causing more damage and loss to the country. 

I have just one question for Rogan and those like him; does he ever take responsibility for the misinformation he spews knowing the actions of his listeners and the lack of moral content in their lives that actually would protect their lives from adverse outcomes?

I find Rogan’s type of misinformation dangerous and uncalled for in generating dangerous behaviors in his audience. Like the irresponsible behavior that sparked fire in a droughts area.

Recognizing Hate Radio and refusing to listen should be a dialogue Americans should be having? 

Below is what grown-ups sound like.

Too radical to be a good president.

Donald Trump is far too radical to be effective internationally. The rest of the world really is disgusted with such leadership. I think the USA is going to be spurned by many leaders. 

Trump counts on the USA economy to be such a powerful entity internationally that he can simply walk all over every other country and leader in the world. Considering Trump’s extremist views and especially the severity of the climate crisis he won’t be as accepted as one thinks. The USA did not impress other leaders during the pandemic. We had the highest number of cases and the highest death rate. Trump’s history is not a good one.





Reassuring

The TikTok decision validates the Biden’s White House focus on national security. It has been all too easy for China to send spy balloons, have listening posts at ports all over the country, Chinese hacked the Treasury Department and who knows what else, trafficking and drug smuggling (click here), and election interference. 

It is about time China live within it’s own borders, rather than being the Wall Street darling of cheap labor.

I think China has become a very bad actor. It changed character considerably under Xi. China when it sponsored its first Olympics was a very different country and far more interested in peace and prosperity than today. Its affiliation with Russia since the 2000 friendship pack has resulted in a communist country with expansionist goals. Today, China exhibits far more hostile communist ideology than 24 years ago, partly from alliances with
North Korea.

Today’s bright, shiny object?

Ah. An exploding rocket.

While in the new session of Congress bills designed by DOGE to bilk the American people are being written for introduction.
