RECOMMENDATIONS
The Won’t Quit Kid
“Hard is coming for our kids. At some point, it’s going to get difficult. We can make it as easy as possible while they’re with us but at some point, life is gonna hit them really hard. And that was the book. It’s about a kid loves football, man, and wants to play. But he goes out there and it’s hard and it’s hot and it hurts. That’s what life’s gonna be. It hurts. It’s gonna be hot and It’s gonna be hard.”
– David Pollack
The Rise of BlueAnon
“A recent poll found nearly twice as many Democrats as Republicans believe the Holocaust is a myth. Meanwhile, 69 % of Americans who believe that alien spacecraft are observing our planet right now are Democrats, a far higher number than Republicans.” – David Harsanyi
Toxic Empathy
“Most of us, especially those of us who are Christians, we have not only a natural but spiritual inclination towards helping those who need help and lifting others up. And we’re naturally compassionate, especially women. We’re natural nurturers. That empathy muscle is really strong, and that can be used in a really good way. The problem is when it’s exploited for toxic or harmful means and how toxic empathy is employed” — Allie Beth Stuckey
Black Saturday
“I got a call on October 7th at 7:03 a.m. in the morning from my producer, and she said, Something’s happening in the South. And normally when something’s happening in the south, it’s a rocket attack. And so we thought this was sort of the status quo of an attack from Gaza launched by Hamas or Islamic Jihad. When we stopped at one intersection and got out of the car, we could hear gunfire in the distance. And this was the first major sign that something was wrong, something was different.” — Trey Yingst
Targeted: Beirut
“Two hundred twenty-eight Marines, eighteen sailors, three soldiers killed that day. There were others killed in an embassy bombing, which happened in April of 1983. Multiple people killed throughout that summer-fall until October 23rd. And what it did, though, is it taught Iran that terrorism works, and it worked by using proxies.” — Jack Carr
You Can Do It!
“It’s going to, I mean, obviously, it’s just a no-brainer that the funniest, the best comedy right now is coming from conservatives. And I would just tell people that there’s no such thing as conservatives. They’re just liberals that aren’t crazy, that aren’t lunatics, that aren’t sure which, you know, like the liberals that aren’t sure which bathrooms to use.” — Rob Schneider
