Some Wisdom from Denzel Washington

 At a recent event, Denzel Washington paused to answer a few questions and had the following exchange with an entertainment reporter:

Reporter: there's been a lot of buzz about fake news lately. You were the subject of some fake news recently

Denzel: Oh, yea. What did they say? I'm running for president or something...what did they say?

(reporter speaks off mic) Oh, yea that I'd switched sides or support...yea yea...

Reporter: What do you make of all this fake news, does it affect you?

Denzel: "If you don't read the news, you are uninformed. If you read the news you are misinformed" 

Reporter: Hmm so what do you do?

Denzel: That's a great question. What is the long-term effect of too much information? One of the effects is the need to be first. Not even to be true anymore. So what a responsibility you all have (glancing around at the reporters). To be...to tell the truth. Not just to be first but to tell the truth. We live in a society now of it's just first, who cares just get it out there. We don't care who it hurts, we don't care who we destroy, we don't care if it's true. Just say it, sell it. Anything you practice you'll get good at. Including BS. 

In another interview, Denzel cuts right to the heart of the matter in our struggling society. 

Reporter: For black people in particular, do you think we can truly make change as things are right now?

Denzel: Well, it starts in the home. You know, if the father is not in the home the boy will find a father in the streets. Yeah. I saw it in my generation and every generation before me and every one since. It starts in the home. You know, if the streets raise you then the judge becomes your mother and prison becomes your home.

Mark Levin reminds us of what is actually a good thing and what is utter garbage

 A recent Twitter post from Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow

"AND here come the corrupt media, celebrating Biden's "legacy-defining wins"; and the rest of the media sing in chorus. Ignore the horrific state of the southern  border; ignore the massive increase in violent crime; 

Ignore the unimaginable debt, recession, inflation, and energy prices; ignore the war on the Supreme Court, separation of powers, the electoral college, and the equal application of the law; ignore the destruction of women's sports;

Ignore the sexualizing of kindergartners; etc., etc. As for Biden's "legacy-defining wins," his appalling surrender in Afghanistan has resulted in the empowerment and rise of al-Qaeda; his appeasement of Iran has resulted in that murderous regime developing nuclear technology.

His cowardice in the face of Red China's provocations throughout the world has imperiled our ally Taiwan; and his failure to provide the right arms to Ukraine before it was invaded by Russia has cost tens of thousands of Ukrainians their lives; etc. etc.

Subsidizing big-tech oligarchs with billions in taxpayer dollars, further bankrupting the country, raising taxes in a recession, and hiring 87,000 new IRS auditors, among other things, are NOT "wins" for the country.

AP is a propaganda machine for the Left and the Democrats, like most of the corrupt corporatist media."

Known as "The Great One" by his peers at the highest level of Conservative Talk Radio, Mark has the ear of powerful and patriotic citizens and their best interests at heart. One of my favorites, you can continue to hear his show on nationally syndicated networks and is a constant contributor to Fox News and a frequent guest on other Conservative outlets. He is also the champion of the Hillsdale College and other Conservative institutions.
