Thank you

Benny Johnson is the worst

He’s full of hate for boomers

But never a peep his Gen is doing the killing and rent a mob

He even lies about who’s a boomer when it’s actually an Xer

“”””I see clearly. I’ve been teaching American lit and history to younger generations, patriotism and prayer

As a boomer, you are one of 10 million boomers who served, and a member of the age group that most strongly supported the Vietnam War in polling during the war, and that voted 52% for Nixon in 1972.

Lol, Chinese and Russian communist influence, not actual people from China or Russia. Or do you think McCarthy was wrong about that stuff?

I am not dissecting the boomers just looking at the overall record.

I am very sad that this person did not look at what the Most Commie Generation was doing in the 20s, 30s 40s and 50s.

I know it would just ruin his little rant but he really should have done it to prevent people like me from coming along and pointing and laughing at the stupid historically illiterate author.

If you take this crap seriously, you probably think astrology is a serious science. People born in 1946 have absolutely nothing in common with people born in 1964.

Benny has gotten a little full of himself lately. I wonder if Benny ever had a job other than yakking on the internet being a so called “influencer”. Many of the people he directs his hate at have done far more for this country than he ever has.

I don’t think he has ever served his country in the military either.

He really needs to rein himself in because he isn’t all that big of a prize he believes himself to be.

This kind of arrogance isn’t serving the America First movement at all.

I am a boomer. I did quite well and raised five wonderful and productive children.

To his credit, he has a lot of contact and he does try. I will give him that, but he’s sensationalize a lot and his headlines are not accurate frequently.

“McCarthy was right. The boomers were educated in college by commie influence from China and Russia.”

Joe McCarthy died in 1957.

The oldest Boomers were 11 and wouldn’t start college until 1964.

Do some math.

I always thought he seemed like a nice enough guy most of the time. I have learned a lesson when it comes to many internet influencer types.

The totally rely on clicks and sensationalizing, exaggerating, speculating, is how they make their money. They sometimes have to make a story somehow “unboring” or more exciting, in order to keep people tuning in.

If I think they are doing that, I tune them out.

I did. McCarthy described the commie infiltration beginning in the 50s. Like most things, it started small and continued to grow and is worse today than in the 60s. Or do you think the commie loving professors disappeared when McCarthy died and they've only recently made a reappearance in our universities after decades of total absence?

I’m betting no one can name even one professor McCarthy accused who was teaching Boomers in 1964 and beyond.

McCarthy wasn’t charging people with infiltrating “beginning in the 50s”, he was accusing them in 1953 of behavior in years prior, much of it during the 1930s and 1940s.

McCarthy’s current admirers may not know that he was enough of a fool to accuse George Marshall, the Army’s senior General in WWII, of conspiring against the United States.

https://alphahistory.com/coldwar/joseph-mccarthy-condemns-george-marshall-1951/

That was in 1951. When he decided to take on the Army in general in 1954 he went a bridge too far and that ended up destroying his self promoting career.

https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/april-22/mccarthy-army-hearings-begin

There had definitely been Communist infiltration in the American government and the likes of Whittaker Chambers and Elizabeth Bentley and HUAC exposed them years before.

McCarthy wasn’t part of that. He tried to ride their coattails for his personal political benefit.

He’s killing it
Estimated cash flow various media streams is 5-13M depending who’s counting

He’s not Rogan or Tucker but maybe in league with Vonn or Megyn

There’s gold in them there pod cast hills!

I heard CBS offered Megyn anchor slot which she rejected out of hand

4m subscribers YouTube alone

Prolly similar money to Benny and unlike him she has ads

Benny produces more content than about anyone honestly

I like Taibbi and Benz too

Sara Gonzales
Victor who irritates but I watch all his stuff

Rogan and Shawn Ryan at times

Prolly like most here

I watch daily signal some

Schellenberger and Sachs if they pop up

The Frankfurt School had about 20 members.

There were 400,000 college professors in the 1960s.

Apparently they weren’t teaching enough math to the general public.
