Well said, Bill Maher!

A very sobering message, especially to our politicians(Republicans and Democrats)in Washington.
"Real Time" host Bill Maher closed his show Friday night by sounding the alarm on China's growing dominance over the United States.
Why are Americans sleeping?...We aren't sleeping, we are spending our time teaching and assisting little boys how to become little girls!!! And, if we aren't busy doing that we have the Sec of Defense, responding to an order from the 'commander' in chief, designing stylish new uniforms for pregnant ‘soldiers’.
"You're not going to win the battle for the 21st century if you are such silly people. And Americans are all silly people," Maher began the monologue, alluding to a "Lawrence of Arabia" quote.
Do you know who doesn't care that there's a stereotype of a Chinese man in a Dr. Seuss book? China," he said. "All 1.4 billion of them couldn't give a crouching tiger flying f--- because they're not silly people. If anything, they are as serious as a prison fight.”
Maher acknowledged that China does "bad stuff" from the concentration camps of Uyghur Muslims to its treatment of Hong Kong. But he stressed, "There's got to be something between an authoritarian government that tells everyone what to do and a representative government that can't do anything at all.”
"In two generations, China has built 500 entire cities from scratch, moved the majority of their huge population from poverty to the middle class, and mostly cornered the market in 5G and pharmaceuticals. Oh, and they bought Africa," Maher said, pointing to China's global Silk Road infrastructure initiative.
He continued: "In China alone, they have 40,000 kilometers of high-speed rail. America has none. ... We've been having Infrastructure Week every week since 2009 but we never do anything. Half the country is having a never-ending woke competition deciding whether Mr.Potato Head has a dick and the other half believes we have to stop the lizard people because they're eating babies. We are such silly people.
"Nothing ever moves in this impacted colon of a country. We see a problem and we ignore it, lie about it, fight about it with each other, endlessly litigate it, sunset clause it, kick it down the road, and then write a bill where a half-assed solution doesn't kick in for 10 years," Maher explained. Then the half-assed bill is forgotten.
"China sees a problem and they fix it. They build a dam. We debate what to rename it.”
The HBO star cited how it took "ten years" for a bus line in San Francisco to pass its environmental review and how it took "16 years" to build the Big Dig tunnel in Boston, comparing that to a 57-story skyscraper that China built in "19 days" and Beijing's Sanyuan Bridge, which was demolished and rebuilt in "43 hours.”
"We binge-watch, they binge-build. When COVID hit Wuhan, the city built a quarantine center with 4,000 rooms in 10 days and they barely had to use it because they quickly arrested the rest of the disease," Maher said. "They were back to throwing raves in swimming pools while we were stuck at home surfing the dark web for black market Charmin. We're not losing to China, we LOST. The returns just haven't all come in yet. They've made robots that check a kid's temperature and got their asses back in school. Most of our kids are still pretending to take Zoom classes while they watch TikTok and their brain cells fully commit ritual suicide." Our teacher's unions are finding every single way to keep themselves on the payroll, but keep students out of the classrooms.” WAKE UP AMERICANS!! That means ALL of YOU.
Maher then blasted New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, accusing him of degrading school standards by eliminating merit and substituting a lottery system for admittance to schools for advanced learners. Our country is going down the toilet.
"Do you think China's doing that, letting political correctness get in the way of nurturing their best and brightest?" Maher continued. "Do you think Chinese colleges and universities are offering courses in 'The Philosophy of Star Trek, 'The Sociology of Seinfeld,' and 'Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse'? Can this be real? Well, let me tell you, China is real. And they are eating our lunch. And believe me, in an hour, they'll be hungry again."
I would add that the rot being developed internally by groups such as BLM, extreme right wing and left-wing groups, along with the free loaders, and a hundred other groups are perhaps a far greater threat than China, because they are all around us, and we tax paying, country loving, hardworking individuals just sit back and watch it take place.
That people like Omar, and AOC, others can be elected, should just make you vomit.
That a statue of George Floyd could be put up in Minneapolis and some historical statues taken down should tell you that its off the rails, way off the rails, and unless it is stopped by the people who care about the matter, I fear that we are not going to get back on the track heading in the right direction.
God bless America, but you better wake up--FAST!!!

First reading who the author is, I read the article looking for something I would disagree with. I came up blank.

It is old and worth reading again. Please keep repeating it every month. Maybe we might wake up a few here. But I doubt it.

My most sincere apology. You’re secret is safe with me. 😎
At least your Dawgs are still in the hunt. It was a tough year for my Tigers. The next 2-3 seasons will be tough, especially after losing Venables to Oklahoma. Can’t fault him at all for leaving. I’m glad for him that he can go back as head coach.
GA vs MI will be a good game to watch. I won’t mention my wife is from MI and is die hard Go Blue. Don’t let her know I’ll be pulling for the Dawgs. 🤫 It’s that North vs. South thing I can’t seem to shake.

I’m not a die hard sports fan, unless it has an internal combustion engine and the track is 1/4 mile long.
Don’t tell AL Pachyderm fans (if my team mascot was an elephant, I’d say “Roll Tide” too) but I also like LSU. 🤣🤣

I find the Catholic Church hypocritical and greedy. A large crime organization.
