In daily wire's movie lady ballers, the people beating women at sports do have doubts if they're doing the right thing. right wingers can't imagine doing the evil the left does without even feeling bad about it. Jeremy boring felt bad about his male actors hurting female stunt actors, and they signed up to play roles getting beaten by men.

This guy's entire show is just him shaking his fist at the sky about how much better everything was when he was growing up. 🙄 Reminds me of Dana Carvey's old man character from SNL: "That's the way it was and weeeeeeee LIKED IT!!!" Sorry that Dennis hates modernity, but unless he can build a time machine to take us back to 1832 (gotta be Massuh of his own plantation!), we're all just gonna have to deal with the 21st century. Change sucks. Build a bridge and get over it already.

Really guys? You're slobbering all over yourselves to commit violence against your own countrymen over Donald fucking Trump - a guy everyone knew was a grifting con-man back in the 80s?? A guy who has gotten caught stealing from his supporters multiple times? A guy who has never read a single word of a Bible in his life? A guy that you know good and well is a pathological liar? This is the fucking hill you guys want to die on? This is your "patriotism?" After all the bullshit moralizing and lecturing to the rest of the country about what sinners WE are? I can't believe how low you guys have fallen. I'm so grateful my lifelong Republican grandparents passed away before they had to witness your sorry display.

I've got some distressing news regarding your endless hate campaign against LGBTQ folks:  Homophobic men get MORE aroused by GAY PORN than non-homophobic men. Even better, the more hateful they are, the harder they get! https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-big-questions/201106/homophobic-men-are-aroused-gay-male-porn?amp&utm_source=pocket_mylist You're not fooling anyone; you don't hate queer people, you hate YOURSELVES. Matt Schlapp. George Santos. Steven Crowder. Fabian Basabe. Randy McNally. Wes Goodman. I'll stop there.  Who's gonna come out of the closet next, you pathetic fascist hypocrites?

Trump, the Bushes, Clintons and Obamas are all branches of the same tree. They're all close friends. Their families and children all spend vacations together. Trump is one of Them. He's not for the people.

Dennis, right wing and left wing belong to the same bird. It's the elite vs the people. It's the elite causing the R vs L rift. Trump is part of the elite and planted to comment divisiveness.

Godly kindness is different from liberal niceness. Godly kindness, at its heart, is a loving act. Liberal niceness is typically an exchange of service(ex. you be nice to me, I'll be nice to you.

I don't think that you answered the question of the guy who asked about his concern about a connection between Putin and the great reset. I do think that it is a very good question. Putin did speak at davos. So did Biden. So did prime minister Charlie Chaplin of Canada.

I agree with Mark Davis on a lot of things, but he sounds like a jerk when talking to people of other views. Why talk down? Education starts with kindness along with the facts. I love this show but I just just want the calmness of Dennis Prager.

prager, it's not right vs left. it's the global elite vs the rest of us, and they use the left as their propagandized puppets. also, you have one thing wrong. unfortunately, Trump has been tricky. he may have started with good intentions, but somewhere along the way he became the facade of a brave, righteous man who fights for freedom and the American way rather than the real McCoy. he didn't do the things he could have done, but the right keeps making excuses for him, like a battered woman defending her abuser. he pushed hard for this vaccine even though his youngest is vaccine injured. he didn't pardon Snowden or help Rittenhouse. why not fund his defense? he claims to be against Hillary and all she stands for and yet there's footage of them hugging, dancing together and laughing the night after their big debate. he could have avoided the Jan 6 fiasco, but he was a key part of it. he told everyone to go there. why? and then he didn't show up. if he had shown up, everyone would have l
