excellent. thanks for posting.

only reservation.
he brings up Hunter Biden’s laptop and censorship of NY Post and people trying to send links to the Post’s articles, etc.
he mentions how the Bidens never denied the laptop and its contents were authentic.

however, he could have added that two of Hunter Biden’s partners - the imprisoned Bevan Cooney via Peter Schweizer and Tony Bobulinski via Tuckers Carlson - corroborated, and expanded on, the information published from the laptop.

and he could have mentioned, at the same time, that almost all FakeNewsMSM ignored Cooney and Bobulinski’s revelations, just as they had virtually ignored the explosive information found on the laptop.

I am curious-did you watch the linked videos and are you familiar with Bill Whittle’s work? If so, what did you think of it?

LOL, I WISH I were indeed Bill Whittle, promoting myself here on FR under a pseudonym or something like that. I admire him greatly

It was only my opinion (and as the saying goes, everyone has one) and I admit that perhaps I should have inserted that conditional statement in there. On the other hand, I do believe I am as well versed on the various purveyors of conservative political thought as it is possible to be for an average citizen, of which I regard myself as one.

I don’t make that statement lightly, since I take the role of an informed citizen very seriously, and have put in the work to be able to be satisfied I am fulfilling my self imposed role. I used to read extensively and have a significant (for me) hardcover library, but due to my eyes, have been unable to read much in the last 5-10 years.

Due to my daily commute which I have done for 35+ years which is between 45 min to 1.5 hours each way I have used that formerly wasted time to listen to audiobooks on tape, CD and and in the last 15 years or so, in MP3 format. I often listen when I am in the shower, when I am washing the dishes after dinner, or working on projects. (I cannot listen while reading content or posting on FR...it doesn’t work, I don’t absorb it)

And so, on the basis of having in depth exposure to a wide array of conservative thought, and after having watched or read the entire spectrum of them for some decades ranging from William F. Buckley (when he was alive), Thomas Sowell, and today, Victor Davis Hanson and Jordan Peterson, I think Bill Whittle fits right in with them (for me, at least)

The thing is, Bill Whittle is not an academic, as those people listed above are, he is a political pundit much like Rush Limbaugh, Dan Bongino, and others. I regard him in a slightly different class due to the way he presents his material, and the format in which he does it.

He is obviously not on the level of Victor Davis Hanson (in my opinion) but material by VDH is harder to find, is more often in a lecture setting, etc. Bill Whittle is approachable and available, which counts for something. The other main difference is, his dialogue is less theoretical and more common-sense/opnion based and practical, coming from a “normal” person to “normal” people.

If you have never seen them, I think these videos he created are superb.

I thought some on this thread might appreciate these short videos by Bill Whittle (one of the foremost and most eloquent spokesmen for conservatism today in my opinion...:) in his We The People 2.0 Webpage (all videos):

These short videos (just 3-6 min. long each) are some of the most brilliant, pithy, and informative summaries on how we as conservatives view these things, and contrasts them with the views of the Left.

Funny, I was so impressed with these (I got a DVD for joining at his website BillWhittle.com that I was going to spend money and buy a dozen of them to give to people as gifts, until I found out he thought these arguments and ideas were so important that he had decided to make them available to everyone for free on YouTube...and I agree with him)
