Bono’s Deep Thoughts Are Even Worse Than His Last 35 Years of Music
Town Hall ^ | 4 June 2025 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 06/04/2025 9:46:48 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Joe Rogan just had Bono on his podcast, and Bono, who famously poses as the great White Irish savior of the Third World, stated that America’s USAID cuts have already killed 300,000 people. Well, that’s a lot of people. Rogan pointed out that USAID is a giant money laundering scam, and a lot of other people have been either asking where all these 300,000 dead people are or wondering why Bono – who’s rich beyond measure thanks to the bad taste of so many people – doesn’t get his checkbook out and start scribbling. No evidence supports his ridiculous claim, but the substance of his accusation isn’t really the point.

The point is foundational. It reflects something that leftists do all the time, whether about the climate hoax, Gaza, or even domestic pathologies. They announce there’s a problem, and it’s our fault for not stopping it. It might be slightly hotter in a century? You (not China) must shut down all your coal plants! Terrorist sympathizers feeling the consequences of their murder sprees? You’ve got to feed them! Drug addict criminal bums infesting our streets? It’s your job to give them the same kind of shelter you suckers work to pay for!

Unfortunately, far too many conservatives accept the premise du jour and go along with it. Bono’s premise, shared by fellow leftists who are outraged that the Trump administration has shut off the cash flow to Third World potentates that their allies took a piece of, is that America has some obligation to the rest of the Earth to keep bad things from happening. Leftists are always announcing that we have some sort of obligation to do something and berating us because we have failed to meet this expectation. ..

Exit quote: “Like leftists do all the time when they decide we have to do something, Bono didn’t say, and I still haven’t found what I’m looking for – an answer to the foundational question of why foreigners’ problems are our fault. I think he’s just pulling it out of the same place he’s been pulling songs out of since about 1987. “

Europeans are generally idiotic when it comes to Politics, it’s best to just patronize them and move on to something else.

Has Bono showered yet? Looks like he hasn’t taken a bath in 2 years.

He should not have tried to ski through a tree.

Paul Hewsen has something to say? Never trust a guy that goes by a singular made up name.

Nobody cares what Bonehead says. Radicals keep all their fantasies intact and normal people know better.

Don’t argue-his music is pretty good but like Fleetwood Mac the simplistic stuff it grates on you after a while. Add to that the mystique that comes with limited exposure as he plays to those who want a messiah to look up to.

Think the Kenyan.

U2 made some great music back in the day.

The same website announced that Karine Jean-Pierre left the Dim Party and became an Independent. I’m an Independent, too, but fortunately I’m no Karine Jean-Pierre!

The Karine thing tells me there is a lesbian rift between her and her CNN wife. Cat fight!

Unmentioned by the article:

The rank hypocrisy of Bono; His great ‘charity’ organization that has collected hundreds of millions of dollars ‘for the oppressed and disadvantaged people of the world’ for decades passed a whole 3/4 of one percent of the money they collected on to the people that it was supposed to benefit. Finally, when called on it, Bono raised the amount passed out to the poor people to 1.2%.....

98.8% of the donations he collects STILL go into his and his co-conspirators pockets.

Yeah, he is a great humanitarian.
