Comedian Bill Maher went on a blistering tirade against “woke” ideology, saying that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis “wasn’t wrong” when he called out Disney for sexualizing children, and that liberals were willing to “overlook” it because it was a Republican who spoke out.

The host of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” delved into the shocking revelations from Max documentary, “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” during his latest episode Friday.

“OMG. Nickelodeon? It wasn’t a studio, it was Neverland Ranch with craft services,” Maher said.

Bill Maher said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis “wasn’t wrong” when he criticized Disney for sexualizing children. 

*** and ***

Maher said Nickelodeon isn’t all that different than Disney, citing a report that showed a slew of workers at the Mouse House, too, had been arrested for sex crimes against kids.

“A 2014 CNN report discovered that at least 35 Disney employees had been arrested for sex crimes against children. And in 2021, Disney child star Alyson Stoner confessed she only narrowly survived the toddler-to-trainwreck pipeline. The next year, child star Cole Sprouse told The New York Times that young actresses at the Disney Channel were heavily sexualized from an early age,” he said. 

*** and ***

“Oh, for pedophiles in Hollywood. It’s a small world, after all,” the comedian deadpanned. “DeSantis wasn’t wrong! But we’re so tribal now, the left will overlook child-f—ing if the guy from the wrong party calls it out.”

*** end quote ***

Bill Maher is like Piers Morgan in my book.  I don’t always agree with their politics, but I listen when they “hit one out of the park”.

In this case, Maher is “right over the target” to chastise those who would absolve child predators because they are of the correct party.

Sounds like Nickelodeon, Disney, and Hollywood in general need a “colonoscopy” level investigation of all the allegations and convictions.  

Some long prison sentences and “banishments” need to be handed out with lots of publicity.  

Argh!

RANT: Can’t drive a car, vote, or drink, BUT …

FDA: OTC MORNING-AFTER PILLS FOR 15-YEAR-OLDS

The Plan B morning-after pill is moving over-the-counter, a decision announced by the Food and Drug Administration just days before a court-imposed deadline.

Tuesday, the FDA lowered to 15 the age at which girls and women can buy the emergency contraceptive without a prescription _ and said it no longer has to be kept behind pharmacy counters.

Instead, the pill can sit on drugstore shelves just like condoms, but that buyers would have to prove their age at the cash register.

So let me understand, these girls can’t drive a car, vote, or drink, BUT they can take powerful drugs with side affects?

And, I guess their parents get to clean up the mess afterwards?

So, what happened to statutory rape? Child molestation!

Argh!

RANT: Joe Pa should have been deposed; now he’ll be the fall guy

Joe Paterno passed away this weekend. Good and bad things are being said about him. Most of the bad seems to be coming from a younger generation that reflects a lack of tolerance on their part.

His failings, if any, in the the Penn State scandal were ordinary and minimal. He waited 24 hours to report to higher authority. He failed to notify the police after his Penn State superiors did not do so.

A great man whose life is now besmirched. Shakespeare said it best. Through Marc Antony. Marc Antony’s words in eulogizing Julius Caesar.” The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones…”

A shame.

*** end quote ***

I was a fan of Joe Pa before all of this. BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), how can you not have outrage at the whole issue? You were very gentle with his legacy. Football is supposed to teach character. Struggle, honor, courage, bravery, all the manly virtues.

A number of people were shown to be cowards. From the quarterback who has to ask his Dad if he should have rescued the child. To the Head Coach who meekly “reported it to his superiors”. To the University honchos who buried it.

I’m no youngster, but I too look on Penn State askance now. This pervert had to be common knowledge on the campus. Why else didn’t this famous well-respected coach not get one job offer after Penn State? This had to be common knowledge around the football community. If it was, still no one took actions. What cowards!

I would have like Joe Pa to stick around to be deposed. To get to the truth. Now that he’s dead, everyone’s going to make him the fall guy. Maybe he should be. Certainly seems like there is more than enough blame to go around.
