Blog – Page 563 – Political Chatter

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks about MSNBC’s blatant disregard for actual facts to smear Ron Desantis’s COVID vaccine rollout, JK Rowling and Winston Churchill’s names being removed from a British school, the official ending of the Aunt Jemima brand, and a Ronald Reagan appearance on Johnny Carson’s The Tonight Show that has some great foreign policy advice. First more media bias from the mainstream media as Dave discusses comments by Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski about what a failure Florida Governor Ron Desantis has been at getting the COVID 19 vaccine to the elderly. Facts however seem to have a different opinion. In England the Seaford Head School has announced it will no longer use JK Rowling and Winston Churchill as house names due to Churchill’s promotion of racism and Rowling’s alleged transphobic remarks. Helping defeat the Nazis and creating one of the most beloved and social justice friendly pieces of children’s literature are no longer enough to avoid cancel culture. Pepsi in trying to keep up with cultural change has announced that the Aunt Jemima brand will now be called Pearl Milling Company and permanently erase the history of Nancy Green the African-American woman who served as the inspiration for Aunt Jemima. Finally Dave shares some timeless advice from Ronald Reagan on sensible foreign policy and dealing with the threat of communism.
