An Open Letter to Journalists at the End of the Toughest Year of our Careers
by JulieWolfe - News Director @WHAS11 Louisville, Kentucky
Curb your self-importance sweetie!
The Cognitive Dissonance here should be studied in a lab. You really have it rough compared to all those people who lost jobs or their business. You had to work from home while they just had to sit around and enjoy their funemployment. Thank goodness you made it ok. How many journalists have lost their incomes and livelihoods as the result of the “toughest year of their lives”? The world is melting down, people are losing everything and the average corporate journalist has to try and climb up on that cross.
And Master zoom?? So we're doing that whole participation trophy thing for journalists now too? Like a 6 year old remote learning his colors. Impressive. Stunning. Brave. Patting yourself on the back for “mastering zoom” is like feeling accomplishment for successfully velcroing your shoes. But one journalist really "mastered" Zoom this year, 'Jackoff Jeff '.

Is "2020 Journalist" the new word for "activist" now that "activist" means "peaceful rioter?" It's hard to keep up with internet slang.
Journalism is basically dead. Establishment activists are posing as journalists to abuse the benefits and protections given by the title. It's been happening for years and any anti-establishment voice is now smeared as "far-right". These activists are the enemy of any free person. Yes there are good journalists, but what most seem to not understand is this has been a hard year for EVERYONE. Journalists weren't hit harder, yet they act like martyrs. Out-of-touch, elitist, self-aggrandizing journalists (which seem to be the majority) make the profession hated. People don't hate journalists, they hate liars. The problem is the degree to which those roads have converged.
Journalists are the only ones who think journalists did anything of value this year. I don't think you appreciate the level of hatred and contempt the average person feels toward the media as a whole. Honestly crying and depressed corporate journalists is one of the few bright spots of 2020. Congratulations on going from a disliked group of people to an extremely extraordinarily distrusted and disliked group of people! Cheers!

Bend Over and Smile. The Emergency Covid Bill is Finally Here
 |
| If you're watching the government spend $900 billion to cut $126 billion in relief checks, and you still think government-run healthcare will *save* money, you're a hopeless fool. |
After months of Democrats delaying tactics to win an election, a COVID Relief bill has finally passed congress. A bill so large it had to be rolled into the capital on a cart. Now that the details are seeping out we find out the years people spent getting political on warring sides, dividing this nation socially is now shown to be misspent energy. With this bill both parties are now seen as corrupt and venal entities.
Thinking there is a significant difference between these avaricious bodies is foolhardy. For months these bickering brigands were posturing as if they were desperately hammering out aid for the citizenry. In fact, it is a just budget bill that has the relief bill spot-welded to it in order to justify the wasteful payouts. The two bills had been connected so the House voted to avoid the normal 72 hour period to vet the content. This was done in order to pass this like the fecal matter through the proverbial goose, much like they did with Obamacare.
There is so much unneeded and wasted handout in this fiasco of a rescue that you will be asking for the riots that were tearing apart Portland for months to be unleashed inside the beltway.
This relief bill should have consisted of a single page — a dollar amount, and a sum delivered. Done.
Included in this new bill are the paltry $600 checks to be sent out that amounts to only $200 billion of the $900 billion bill. There are other needed assists in the bill, like $325 billion aimed at small business relief, and another $125 billion is paid out for unemployment benefits. But this bill will do little to save the nation's second largest employer, the restaurant business. In total these payouts amount to roughly $600 billion, so where is the rest of this payout going?
For starters, the politicians saw fit to include not only illegal immigrants in the payouts this time around but also their family members. They also made this payout retro-active, so those who had been excluded in the first relief package will receive that payment as well. This translates to non-citizens becoming eligible for a $1,800 payment.
And remember the The Kennedy Center for the Arts? They got a cool 25 Mil. last round of covid relief, and then shuttered the doors. Yeah, they got 40 Mil. this round. You can Read More about the details, but I warn you of potential indigestion if you do.
Joy has actually said something sensible. Problem is, dems don't roll like that. Cramming bills with their agenda items that couldn't pass by themselves is their MO. That's why they've blocked the "Line Item Veto" for 50 years.

Beam Mr. Sulu To the Nearest Unfriendly Planet
Takei didn't let the opportunity pass him by:
There are very, very few instances of known allergic reactions to the Covid-19 vaccine, but Marco Rubio has always thought of himself as one in a million so there’s still hope.
— George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) December 20, 2020
@Joelmpetlin - "You can strongly disagree with someone's policies without wishing them a painful death. It's sad that this has to be said periodically on Twitter, but here we are nevertheless."
@TheRightColumn - "The US Left wishing death on the US Right, while simultaneously thinking of themselves as the good guys, is very on brand."
@PBeq2 - Amazing how libs say they are tolerant of other but always go personal first. You may be a Sci Fi icon, but so are a lot of B actors.
@josephcphillips - I’m betting this sounded a lot more clever before you hit send. It also violates Twitter policy"
The tweet is still up on Twitter and Takei hasn’t issued an apology or tried to walk it back.
So, we have yet another example of what happens when celebrities bubble themselves in their own culture. Takei believes that wishing harm on someone just for a difference in political or religious views is just okay.
If this is the kind of “unity” the Democrats want then I can say with some measure of confidence that this is going to be the most divisive and violent unity the world has ever witnessed. If the left has this much hatred in its heart that it believes in visiting evil on innocent people who merely disagree with them politically as a moral good then this is going to be a very nasty next four years.
