FUROR OVER GRUDEN EMAILS REVEALS THE INSANITY OF ‘CANCEL CULTURE’
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, THE WEEKEND EDITION OCT. 15-7, 2021) — In 1984, Orwell labelled it “Thought Crime.” Today, we call it Cancel Culture. Differences without distinctions except in degree.
Nazi Germany provided impetus for Orwell’s novel. The hysteria over a football coach’s expression of thought fed the impetus for lynching Jon Gruden.
THE PLANET no way endorses Gruden controversial emails to “locker room buddies,” but neither do we condemn private emails between friends. Given the First Amendment guaranteeing free speech, we abhor the garment-tearing over Gruden’s messages.
Not that we’re a Gruden fan. True, he won a Super Bowl with the immortal Trent Dilfer at QB, but that has proven an outlier in his coaching career. Actually, we love Gruden for helping establish the New England Patriots unprecedented dynasty
This issue illustrates the shocking erosion of the Bill of Rights and, more generally, the Constitution. In today’s political climate, seems we have only three choices: become Believers, disagree and remain silent for fear of being “cancelled,” or speak out and take your chances.
THE PLANET goes with that last choice. Nine years ago we went to court against a stacked legal system to fight for our First Amendment rights to publish in what was, in effect, an “away game.” Putting everything on the pass line for one roll of the dice earned us more than a right to speak out on this issue.
———- ooo ———-
Funniest of all, the same crowd having a bad hair day over Gruden’s e-mails loves hip-hop, a genre that gives the world such uplifting lyrics as:
Lil’ Kim
I got the magic clit
I know if I get licked once, I get licked twice
Odd Future
“Spit on a bitch, punch on a bitch/After I eat some steak, have her tug on my dick” – “We Got Bitches”
Cam’ron
Dick in her mouth, I tell her (I’m getting money nigga)” – “Get ‘Em Girls”
Plies
“Or I can rub on your clit and just play with your neck/ And let me slide my finger in that pussy just to check/ Ain’t bout who spending the most money, it’s ’bout who fuck the best/ I’m a high bitch who a freak baby when it comes to sex” – “Ms. Pretty Pussy”
Danny Brown
Fuck her face like I was obligated/And still fucking with them freak hoes/Stank pussy smelling like Cool Ranch Doritos” – “Monopoly”
Lil Wayne
Ahh shit all over your face kid/ Spread them legs open far and wide/ Fuck this shit just let me put my dick inside” – “Gimme That Nut”
And these aren’t even the filthiest, just a random sampling. In case you’re wondering, THE PLANET defends these lyrics too, again citing the constitutional right to free speech.
How many of these “artists” use the word “nigger?” Perfectly acceptable, in the same way that our teenagers and young adults use such words as “nigga” and “cunt” in casual communication. Somehow, that’s fine, but a 10-year-old email from Jon Gruden, a 58-year-old white man, blond Chucky, jabbing about a guy’s lips and all conniption.
———- ooo ———-
From wire reports:
Monday’s [New York] Times report revealed email exchanges between Gruden, former Washington Football Team executive Bruce Allen, and others that started in 2010. The leaked emails were part of an NFL investigation into workplace misconduct at the Washington Football Team.
In the emails, Gruden referred to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell as a “faggot” and a “clueless anti football pussyy.” He criticized the NFL for its perceived pressure on the Los Angeles Rams to draft “queers,” referencing the team’s selection of Michael Sam in 2014 as the first openly gay NFL draft pick in league history. Gruden also criticized the league’s hiring of women as referees and players who protest for social justice reform during the national anthem. He also shared photos of topless women, some of whom were cheerleaders on the Washington Football Team, per the report.
Sam didn’t belong in the NFL, not because he was gay or black but because he wasn’t good enough. The Titans drafted Sam in 2013 in the 7th round, the 249th selection out of 256, and waived him in September 2014. The Rams picked him up on 6-13-14, cutting him 8-31-14. The Cowboys signed Sam to the practice squad 9-3-14. He lasted to 10-21-14. Sam never played in an NFL game.
———- ooo ———-
Divisive politics and culture wars have seeped their way into every aspect of life in the USA, including the snow-flaking of sports.
Gruden’s not a statesman or minister. He’s a football coach, for krissakes.
Get a grip. The Bill of Rights is worth more than anyone’s hurt feelings.
Have a great weekend.

This is a joke. Who did Gruden’s emails hurt. Nobody. And everything he wrote in lots of people’s opinions in completely true. This country is hardly recognizable anymore. I think it’s time for a little rebellion
Yeah, and you’ll be sitting on your duff while this rebellion takes place.
You act so nacho but we know you are an entitled fool in real life. Sucks to be you.
FELLAS
I don’t know the animus between you too, but THE PLANET’s counsel is to move on from it before it boils over. Your comments on the ISSUES, however, will be eagerly shared. What say?
Let’s have all the emails from everyone associated with the NFL and under current scrutiny there won’t be an NFL
And all players emails. And it’s great we have an upstanding leader of values such as Eminem leading the half time show. A joke.
Let’s go Brandon!
Just win baby. Go S F.
I find Pittsfield politics to be the most Orwellian reality since Orwell wrote about Nazi Germany’s impact on politics and national governments. First, Mayor Linda Tyer blocks my political emails because she doesn’t like to read about my criticisms of my native hometown, including the fact that she lives in a millionaires’ only gated community in far west Pittsfield very close to the border with Hancock, while the people she represents are mostly working class and underclass Pittsfield residents. Second, Pittsfield politics is a China-like one political (Democratic) Party system compounded by the fact that anyone not in the incestuous-like in-crowd are all blacklisted from both state and local government and the Dirty Bird publishing their letters to the Editor. Third, when one speaks out about how corrupt and undemocratic Pittsfield politics really is, they receive retribution from the ruling elites in Pittsfield and Boston. Fourth, in order to feel safe and secure in your job and life in Pittsfield, one has to either kiss the ruling elite’s dirty behinds or not exercise Free Speech out of fear of retribution. Fifth, Pittsfield is one of the most economically unequal areas in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the entire nation because there are no living wage jobs for the average working family. Sixth, Pittsfield does not invest in the common people to have living wage jobs, but instead, Pittsfield uses “Perverse Incentives” to take as much federally funded and state administered public aid for its Level 5 public schools, Social Services Agencies, and high per capita welfare caseloads as it can get. Seventh, Ward 4, which has mostly well off households, runs Pittsfield politics because the voters who live there decide each and every citywide election year in and year out, which means the other six Wards have no real representation. Eighth, Pittsfield is still polluted with GE’s industrial chemicals called PCBs that have caused cancer in thousands upon thousands of local residents, but the ruling elites’ never do anything to fight GE to make GE pay for and cleanup its toxic waste pollution there. Nine, dangerous downtown Pittsfield is full of homelessness, poverty, Social Services agencies, drugs, violent crime, prostitution, and the like, and the area that surrounds North Street is sarcastically called “The Ring of Poverty”, but Pittsfield didn’t have to tank to rock bottom if there were real community leaders who didn’t live in wealthy gated communities and were totally disconnected from the people they supposedly represent in state and local government. Tenth, whenever one writes about Pittsfield’s distressed economy and political corruption, they receive the pat answer from Good Old Boys such as Cliff Nilan, “No one cares anymore”. In closing, I wish George Orwell was alive over 71 years since his death in early-1950 so he could write a book about Pittsfield politics!
Some people need to be given a clue. Clue these people in that life is a DIY project. If you’re sitting around waiting for the government to improve your life for you, you’re in fact part of the problem.
The government always makes the politically-connected vested and special interests a lot of money. Over the past 5 decades, most of the gains in income and capital went to the wealthiest households, while common people feel fortunate to either make a little money or cut even because the underclass grows larger and larger year after year. Due to the rigged political system, the elites on Wall Street and in the Swamp always wins no matter what happens, while the rest of us live in Social Darwinism or “Swim or Sink”. It doesn’t matter if the Republican Party or the Democratic Party is in power because the government always serves the same financial elites. The only real political party in government are the Incumbents or career politicians whose only job is to raise PAC money (from K Street) and get reelected with their campaign war chests.
In Pittsfield politics, the one political (Democratic) party ruling elites in Boston and Pittsfield are totally disconnected from the people and taxpayers they supposedly represent in government. The political hacks who run the show in Pittsfield Massachusetts count on citizen and taxpayer apathy and their use of retribution to serve the vested and special interests, while working and underclass families there have to live with Level 5 failing public schools, unsafe streets, little to no living wage jobs, high municipal taxes, fees and public debts and other liabilities, and their out-of-touch Mayor – Linda Tyer – living in a wealthy gated community.
As far as Pittsfield politics and Mass.go, the citizens past and present have got NOTHING from voting exclusively Democrat for many YEARS… Forgive me if I don’t believe the citizens suddenly figured out that they’re just useful idiots to the left.
I agree that the corrupt establishment Boston-based Democratic Party has failed Pittsfield Massachusetts and many other Commonwealth communities similar to Pittsfield. I live near Lowell and Fitchburg Massachusetts from my perch in Amherst, New Hampshire. From what I see, working class families live in Lowell or Fitchburg and commute to Boston because there are no working class homes or apartments in the expensive Boston area. Nashua has busses that take us into Boston, but the area that I live in does not have train services. The Northeast or “Bos -Wash” corridor is tailored to the financial elites, which means that most of us non-politically-connected common folk have no real political representation in government. In my neighboring town of Merrimack NH, Fidelity is a big employer of local people. My former neighbor who works there was awarded a trip to Hawaii and he proposed to his now wife there, and I heard that they recently had a baby together. We all have to live somewhere, and I suggest we learn to take the good with the bad, and enjoy life instead of always being mad that we have to pound sand.
You dont realize that government has improved the life of all wealthy people by using cheap labor and writing their tax code .That’s not your tax code.Get woke.The government is slow but it can improve everyone’s life.You still believe Trump is your guy.Trump whispers and you feel amazing.If you have city state federal health insurance that is 80% supported by min wage earners at Wendy’s the that govetment improving your life.Republicans take the money from the bottom and Democrats will take the money from the top.Im woke so I get it .Trump keeps you UNWOKE so you don’t get it.Sleep well.The American worker now has the greatest position they have ever had while you Trump worshipers sleep through it watching foolish idiotic FOX Fairytale fascist loop opinion.By the way.Trumpers have gone numb.I hope you wake up soon from your FOX bedtime stories before you attack your Capital again.How many Trumps don’t believe his lie,raise your hand.
I have been promoting CA Governor Brown’s flat tax proposal on this blog since the beginning TSC. Come join the fight. Get rid of all tax loopholes and charge everyone a 10% tax on all earnings. I don’t think you nor your crowd has ever backed me on this proposal. I also want MA to follow what the citizens voted for decades ago, get back to 5% tax rate. Supposedly we have a surplus so there is no reason note to follow the referendum that was voted in by the voters
I agree with the flat tax, eliminating the state sales tax, and lowering the income tax to AT LEAST 5%.
Linda ain’t so lovely anymore??????
It truly is mind boggling that black woman do not seem to speak out about the disgusting demeaning rap lyrics. Why is that acceptable but if some white guy, not even publicly, expresses racist comments he is castigated?
I really would like to know the mindset and if there is one POC that is on board here I would love for them to help me understand. Or even a black man because obviously they are accepting it as well.
Many female rappers have just as disgusting lyrics about themselves and other females (see WAP for one) one of the biggest hits in the country when it came out
https://youtu.be/hsm4poTWjMs
Here are the lyrics of WAP, which stands for “Wet-ass Pussy”
“WAP”
(feat. Megan Thee Stallion)
[Repeating:]
There’s some whores in this house
I said (hold up), certified freak
Seven days a week
wet-ass pussy
Make that pull-out game weak
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you fucking with some wet-ass pussy
Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet-ass pussy
Give me everything you got for this wet-ass pussy
Beat it up, nigga, catch a charge
Extra large and extra hard
Put this pussy right in your face
Swipe your nose like a credit card
Hop on top, I wanna ride
I do a Kegel while it’s inside
Spit in my mouth, look in my eyes
This pussy is wet, come take a dive
Tie me up like I’m surprised
Let’s role play, I’ll wear a disguise
I want you to park that big Mack Truck
Right in this little garage
Make it cream, make me scream
Out in public, make a scene
I don’t cook, I don’t clean
But let me tell you how I got this ring
Gobble me, swallow me
Drip down inside of me
Quick jump out ‘fore you let it get inside of me
I tell him where to put it, never tell him where I’m ’bout to be
I run down on him ‘fore I have a nigga running me
Talk your shit, bite your lip
Ask for a car while you ride that dick
You really ain’t never gotta fuck him for a thang
He already made his mind up ‘fore he came
Now get your boots and your coat
For this wet-ass pussy
He bought a phone just for pictures
Of this wet-ass pussy
Pay my tuition just to kiss me
On this wet-ass pussy
Now make it rain if you wanna
See some wet-ass pussy
Look, I need a hard hitter, I need a deep stroker
I need a Henny drinker, I need a weed smoker
Not a garden snake, I need a king cobra
With a hook in it, hope it lean over
He got some money, then that’s where I’m headed
Pussy A1, just like his credit
He got a beard, well, I’m tryna wet it
I let him taste it, now he diabetic
I don’t wanna spit, I wanna gulp
I wanna gag, I wanna choke
I want you to touch that little dangly thing
That swing in the back of my throat
My head game is fire, punani Dasani
It’s going in dry and it’s coming out soggy
I ride on that thing like the cops is behind me
I spit on his mic and now he tryna sign me, woo!
Your honor, I’m a freak bitch, handcuffs, leashes
Switch my wig, make him feel like he cheating
Put him on his knees, give him something to believe in
Never lost a fight, but I’m looking for a beating
In the food chain, I’m the one that eat you
If he ate my ass, he’s a bottom feeder
Big D stand for “big demeanor”
I could make you bust before I ever meet you
If it don’t hang, then he can’t bang
You can’t hurt my feelings, but I like pain
If he fuck me and ask, “Whose is it?”
When I ride the dick, I’ma spell my name
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, you fucking with some wet-ass pussy
Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet-ass pussy
Give me everything you got for this wet-ass pussy
Now from the top, make it drop
That’s some wet-ass pussy
Now get a bucket and a mop
That’s some wet-ass pussy
I’m talking WAP, WAP, WAP
That’s some wet-ass pussy
Macaroni in a pot
That’s some wet-ass pussy
————————————–
PLANET HERE: Yeah, this is deemed suitable, fine, and healthy for youngsters and teens … but have a 58-year old white football coach refer to a black guy’s lips, in a 10-year-old email to a friend, and bring out the Lynch mob — from the same “wakes” who have no problem with WAP.
City Girls – “Fuck Dat Nigga”
Might roll dubs, might have cheese but
Fuck that nigga, fuck, fuck that nigga
Fuck that nigga, fuck, fuck that nigga
Fuck that nigga, fuck, fuck that nigga
Fuck that nigga, fuck, fuck that nigga
Fuck that nigga, fuck, fuck that nigga
Fuck that nigga, fuck, fuck that nigga
Fuck that nigga, fuck, fuck that nigga
…….
You guys are loving this topic,I wonder why Trumpers are White Woke
Dan, yours is little more than a lament from a crotchety older white guy. Remember Ted Nugent and Stranglehold? Here are the lyrics:
Here I come again now baby
Like a dog in heat
Tell it’s me by the clamor now baby
I like to tear up the street
Now I been smokin’ for so long
You know I’m here to stay
Got you in a stranglehold baby
You best get oughta the way
The road I cruise is a bitch now baby
But no you can’t turn me round
And if a house gets in my way baby
You know I’ll burn it down
You ran the night that you left me
You put me in my place
Got you in a stranglehold baby
You better trust your fate
Yeah sometimes you wanna get higher
And sometimes you gotta start low
Some people think they gonna die someday
I got news I’ve got to go
Come on come on up
Come on come on up
Come on come on up
Come on come on up
Come on come on come on come on baby
Come on come on come on come on up
Come on come on come on come on baby
Come on come on come on
Road I cruise is a bitch now
You know you can’t turn me round
And if a house gets in my way
You know I’ll burn it down
You ran the night that you left me
You put me in my place
I got you in a stranglehold baby
That night I crushed your face
This song is all violence and misogynistic garbage. And it was written by a white guy who thinks Trump is actually a good guy.
Come on already.
If my column is “little more than a lament,” why does it rile you so? Your multiple emails are revealing in that respect. And to claim there’s has been no descent down the slippery slope from The Beatles’ “Please Please Me” to WAP might be raised as the poster child depicting “The Whistler in the Dark Past the Cemetery.”
He lives to think he is smarter then everyone else. Life has proven the opposite. Just state he is not accurate and leave it at that.
Descent to what? Just because a song has explicit lyrics shouldn’t make a listener uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the Legion of Decency days are far behind his.
If you don’t see it, there’s no use trying to explain it.
Okay so where do we stand with the song Colored Spade from the musical Hair?
Or the Violent Femmes ” Black Girls”?
And while I get it I do have to say I’m disappointed to see Mick and the boys self censoring on this tour. Given that Mick is associated with rebellion and being anti-establishment ( I think history has proven that more Keef’s persona than Mick’s, but whatever for now) and Mick is like one of the king gods of that in rock and roll culture, this was a bit astounding.
Fun fact: autocorrect tried to change the words “a bit astounding” to “vintage sounding”. Apparently the AI on my device is a WAP millennial that just okay Boomer’ed me.
Those little bastards, lol.
Yeah, that and “Brown Sugar”: I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
How come you… how come you taste so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
Just like a… just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
I remember back in the day hearing that brown sugar was actually a veiled reference to heroin.
You don’t get it. Dan is right
How do Helen Moon and her friend Yuki feel about these lyrics here? Seems like they would have an opinion one way or the other. One of them has kids right?
I think that crap should inspire a womans march on Washington as young girls and boys form opinions listening to this shit and if no adult is speaking out then they will assume it is OK and boys will treat their girlfriends accordingly. Where is the outrage?
Outrage card is saved and only used for a specific group of people. No way in hell are they going to use it otherwise.
Yuki is clueless. Helen is just plain mean and hateful.
and Rabid!
But, is it true that handgun moon will be hosting an illegal after hours fundraiser for her good friends Puki and dingy dina with a bartop twerking contest to negro spirituals, including this from the top 10 kool-aid negro spiritual “Slob on my Knob” performed by Three 6 Mafia, Tear da Club up Thugs?
Slob on my knob
Like corn on a cob
Check in with me, and do your job
Lay on the bed, and give me head
Don’t have to ask, don’t have to beg
Juicy is my name
Sex is my game
Let’s call the boys, let’s run a train
Squeeze on my nuts
Lick on my butt
That natural curly hair, please don’t touch
First find a mate
Second find a place
Third find a bag, to hide the ho face
Real name rover
I said bend over
I started to knock, then came the odor
Smelled like mush
Should’ve had a woosh
Told her to stop, and take a douche
While she did that
I didn’t want the cat
So I bounced out and never came back
Suck a nigga dick or something
Suck a nigga dick or something
Suck a nigga dick or something
Suck a nigga dick or something
…..
Wake up, pal. “Please Please Me” by The Beatles (released in 1963) is about a blow job.
The term “rock and roll” is a euphemism for sex.
Calm down and stop your racist nonsense.
You are clueless. Unreal. Nothing Gruden stated is untrue.
Stop trying to be relevant
Stop tryin to be relevant. Nothing Gruden wrote is inaccurate
And the NFL has wife beaters on their half time show
Quoting rap lyrics is racist? Maybe the buffoon who wrote them is the one with the problem.
He literally is the weakest link
The line why do you make me blue just took on a whole different meaning for me…
I didn’t create these raunchy lyrics. I don’t even object to the obscenity of them. Dirty blues and the artists who performed them deserve a place in history as much as gospels.
But anyway, I hope Dan bring this subject back for the entire month of Black LIES Matter. I look forward to it.
Coach Gruden loves you guys.Never seen you guys this awake.
Oh let’s see, shall we? W.A.P is really no different from an AC/DC song from the 70s. You’re just threatened because it’s a woman expressing her sexual empowerment. What exactly do you think “You Shook Me All Night Long” is a about?
Goodness, Led Zeppelin and Derek and the Dominoes had lyrics like this: “squeeze my lemon ‘till the juice runs down my leg” almost 50 years ago.
Wake up.
Goodness with analysis like that no wonder you never made partner
Won’t need Beaver Hunt now omg
Just because others say nigga, doesn’t mean you should too. Your folks are like, Son, don’t say clit. We still love you.
Do life as if your Mom is watching.
(if your mom’s not a nigga)
Words are versatile. It’s bias for black persons to think they’re the only niggars that Matter, or that the word is true to them. I am a niggar as well.
I’m gonna go to the soap box in DC & not say, I HAVE A DREAM…. IMA SAY
I AM A NIGGAR
&
MY LIFE MATTER…..

Let’s not forget the language used by Hunter Biden that was all about the “N” word, but was swept under the rug by the media. Just like with Lizzie Warren, they pick and choose who they call out and cancel and these are people who are not on their side politically.
Aww gee Pat. Do we really want to go there and then bring up all Trumps racist history? Are ya sure about this? Cuz it be extensive. Give it some thought.
Trump became a racist in democrat eyes when he became a republican president. Sharpton used to lick Trumps boots as did the Clintons.
Actually it had to do with the Central Park Five. But you would not want to know about that. Stay blind.
The evidence actually did not exonerate those 5.
All their convictions –for the rape as well as the assaults — have been vacated because an aging district attorney wanted a glowing obituary in The New York Times.
The gas bag is just repeating stuff he heard on the fake news stations. Obviously did not look into the facts of this case.
Idiots have money.
You must have a billion dollars.
Vodka Mule – kick ass Pats
Does anyone remember these quotes from LBJ ?
“ We will have those *****s voting democrat for the next 200 years”.
If we got to let these “N’ers Vote
we better make sure that they always vote Democrat.”

Watching the tail of the the City Council meeting,Councilor member Moon questioned a vote tally and said the vote was seven to four? There were ten councilors present. Then she says she thought Councilor Morandi voted yes? What you heard was seven to four but when you were told there were only ten City Councilors you were wrong on both the counts. Good riddance to this trouble maker.
With her math skills she can go to work for Barry.
You can take the monkey out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the monkey. I NEVER doubted it. I also NEVER doubted that George Wallace was RIGHT! “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever” FOREVER! One of the few rare moments when an alleged democrat was right. God bless George Wallace! I wish he’d come back.
And in other news: Lizzo Claps Back at Haters Who Criticized Her Viral Naked Dress: “Why You Worried About Me?” And this gem, “Don’t You Got Mouths to Feed?” Apparently that fleshy saggy revolting naked lard-ass FUPA beast thinks she’s a beauty.
I love the desperate Trumpers.The racism is on display.Remember racism is only ignorance.You could educate that heart of yours.
And then there was this nigga shit in a taxpayer funded park, Hip Hop Bounce Fitness in the Park as part of Body, Mind, and Soul Health weekend in the Pittsfield Common on Sunday. An event that drew a crowd of about a dozen, or less POC.

This was from 1935
Maybe Gruden should take up painting with straws and hire Hunter Biden’s agent and sell them $500,000 a pop.
Did Hunter Biden paint the north street bike lanes?
Mark Zuckerberg was flipping votes for Biden in all the key states in the 2020 election where Trump lost by a narrow margin. He spent 450 million dollars using mail-in ballots to get Democrat votes in these important states. Democrats now want this trick that Zuckerberg used to be in every election going forward, but Republicans are rightly outraged and are banning it in as many states as they are able, but Democrat states will not ban this practice so I’m not sure how we stop this meddling in elections by this private company. Only election committees are supposed to be involved in getting out the vote, but it shows how Zuckerberg helped flip the election for Biden and the interference of big tech in our elections is real and dangerous.

Wondering why your local stores are half-empty? The “Biden Boat Parade” off of CA. And where’s our Transportation Secretary Pete the Butthead? He’s been MIA for two months, out on paternity leave!

Many locals complaining in our stores yesterday about the lack of supplies. One lady said she was looking for so many things and couldn’t find them. Others were complaining about the Biden administration. Yes, here in far left Berkshire County, people wish they NEVER voted for Biden and his far left fanatics who want to change America forever into a third world country ruled by dictators like Pelosi, Joe, Obama, and Chucky.
Let’s go Brandon !!
Ask yourself why Joe Biden is President Rube. Simple question really. He is President because tRump is such an incompetent corrupt Fascist moron. So, basically all the countries problems are in fact caused by tRump. He hijacked the republican party and all spineless republicans are to chicken shit to stand up to him. I bet there is no shortage of Mypillows though. Semper Fi
I thought Obama blamed Bush for everything through his whole Administration
I’ll bet it’s Trump’s fault that you’re a dullard.
What rank were you? Jack wagon 1st class?
I was in Price chopper every day this week.The place was packed everyday and loaded shelves.
That’s a lie. There paper goods aisle was empty two days this week at least.
He was just in the alcohol isle
His real name is Miller Bieribelli
I’ll bet the shelves weren’t the only thing loaded
Imagine that everything you know about America you learned from Putin/ FOX media,Rush Limbaugh,Sean Hannity and Knob Trump…..sad,sad,sad.I know a Republican fascist when he says Hunter Biden,Stole the election,they are going to raise your taxes…….You guys must start to read history and you might find yourself in the middle of a fascist revolution for Trump
What are the last 5 books that you’ve read?
Do coloring books count?
Pelosi still wants big brother government to keep track of any deposit into your bank of $600.00 and above. This means that since most people are paid every two weeks, big government will have their eye on your bank account constantly and if they determine that you have too much in there, big government may decide to do something about it. This is a total invasion of privacy and just one of many freedoms that will be taken from Americans in these bills that are massive and Pelosi doesn’t want us to know everything that is in them since it will send us all further into government dependence.
Banks will love the added red tape
And the politicians and others will probably get an exemption from having too expose their accounts about how much is in them.
Just like Congress is getting an exemption from the vaccine. Privileged class.
Funny how the politicians can come to agreement quickly with exemptions for themselves and yet citizens must adhere to what they exempt themselves from.
Biden encouraging businesses to mandate vaccination yet the government won’t mandate it for congress and the senate? they shouldn’t get any different treatment as the people they are supposed to represent. The older I get the m ore disgusted I am
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying how do you do
They’re really saying
I love you
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more
Than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ooh, yes
Joe Manchin refusing to give Bernie Sanders his far left socialist agenda saying Americans are watching inflation go out of control and goods are scarce and the far left wants to make it even worse with these massive spending bills? Good for Joe Machin, but he and only one other moderate are fighting against all the fanatics in the far left Democratic party.

Fixed it for Manchin!
Manchin call’s Sanders a “WEALTHY self declared independent socialist!”
Off topic…anyone else see the viral FB post about Earl Persips father killing junkies by selling them counterfeit oxycodone laced with fentanyl out of his car dealership in Linden St
Good thing we names a park after this family. Pillars of the community.
VOTE. HIM. OUT
Dan, is it possible for you to investigate Dumpster Earl’s father. It seems like a cover-up much like the stolen snow plow found on the front of Dumpster’s truck last winter.
Is this the place to fence stolen goods?
Can I buy some of honest Earl’s carbon credits?
I remember hearing that the cops, for a long time, look the other way while the BIG DUMP’S dad was dealing drugs. Now that the BIG DUMP is a schitty clowncilor, living in a $420,000/420 house, not in the ghetto, there’s even more reason to believe there could be a cover-up if the BIG DUMP’S dad is peddling illicit drugs again and killing junkies, which I really don’t give a shit about. The more dead junkies there are, the better.
I’m not interested in voting him out due to the sins of his father; I am interested in voting him out because in the recent q&a with the men and women running for CC, his answer on how to address the local homelessness population was to tell them where to go to receive services.
Um, Earl?
If those services were effective, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
So maybe don’t double down on them.
But didn’t he go to prison for drug dealing?
TSC pretty silent.
He bust be back on his meds.
Or TSC is dealing with the new strain of progressive nutso that is out there.
Dan, outstanding column and thanks for telling it like it is. It’s crazy now a days, and for the record most of what the coach said is true, and more important than anything, it was private communication. And that lil Kim is disgusting looking. I’ve heard of the magic drink but never a magic clit. I couldn’t drink enough to wanna bag her.
Thanks, TELL.
You have excused Gruden because you are unaware of who is hurt by old school slurs.Do you know that all proffessional teams are warned not to promote language like this.He chose to put it in emails because hes a guy a real man with a football mentality and that’s ok for the generation of White men who want the Power to make this country great again.Remember when a working man could get drunk and go home and beat the piss out of his wife and kids.Gruden does what he wants like many in America now in spite of the fact that they are wrong.Hes an idiot.Dont tell a school or business or a mom dad or church would agree with you or Gruden.I will say this and that is that 73 million Americans agree with you that it’s OK to be UNWOKE.
TSC look in the mirror.
You need to dip your hand in a bucket of clues
TSC is dumber than a petrified stump.
What about Hunter Biden using the word Nigger?
The number of disgruntled racists who post here is appalling. Not surprising, but appalling.
You need your mouths washed out with soap.
I was grossed out too. I wasn’t sure even about posting as I don’t want to give the louts another listener.
I also don’t understand the comparison between rap lyrics and a manager of a multi million dollar franchise getting called out for unprofessional conduct. If you use bigoted terms and are dumb enough to write them down repeatedly to your colleagues in 2012 or whenever this knucklehead coach sent his plethora of ill advised missive well I guess it just proves he has bad judgement. Football is big business. Its not cancel culture — it’s protect millions of dollars and lots of jobs practicality.
If you don’t agree with me your racist. That’s the ticket!
Millionaire rap singers shouldn’t be held to the same standard. Thanks
As I reread your column this morning something started to bother me. Who leaked the private emails between 2 friends? Isn’t this illegal? I know there has not been a court case so it didn’t come out in court. Will Gruden sue for the millions he is losing and the defamation of character? I hope he does because I think this was leaked by the NFL although how corrupt our government is with leaking made up stories to character assassinate people I guess they would have to be a suspect as well
I think the NFL leaked the info. It had access to the emails as part of its investigation into the Washington Football Team.
But it’s ok for NFL players to kill people and bear up women and children:((
Yup,Ray Lewis and Ray Caruth.
Biden continues the dangerous rationing of monoclonal antibodies. He wants to make it equitable, but he is making a crisis where none existed before. He wants to equitably distribute the antibodies, but the company that makes them says there was never a shortage. Florida which has one of the largest populations of elderly has gone from 31,000 treatments to 26,000 treatment of the antibody per week. Desantis is fighting to get more for his state and recently the company that makes the antibody sent him some directly, but many states may not know they can do that. Just more incompetence from this administration that promised to fight COVID in this country.

Stories you won’t hear from the Eagle
Sexual assaults in schools are up several hundred percent across Berkshire County.
Schools are just not reporting them.
Richmond School had a violent sexual assault this week as did Conte Middle School.
There have been a dozen or more cases of Covid across post offices in Berkshire county, as well as a number at the SS office, the FSA, and the national Archives office.
The federal government, at the insistence of the Biden administration is not reporting ANY cases of Covid to local boards of health, not here or anywhere else.
It’s reported today that Nance Pelosi is planning on doing a “cut and run” if she passes the massive revolutionary bills to turn American into a giant welfare state. She knows that eventually the country will run out of “other people’s money” in this massive welfare state and she wants to be long gone enjoying the life of a wealthy woman of leisure so nobody can come after her and blame her for passing this monstrosity. It also explains why she has zero interest in telling the American people what’s in the monstrous bills. She could care less. She will have tons of money from her investments in these changes mentioned in the bills. She even gives 200 million to a park next to her house in the enormous bills to make life so grand and pleasant for herself while the rest of us will be struggling to survive in the nightmare she and her globalist buddies are creating for this country.
I have an idea for our state legislators is take the surplus money and use the pike revenue to widen the pike….it was bumper to bumper the whole way. This will create shovel ready jobs and many others for decades. The revenue from the vehicles using the pike will pay for it. Why don’t they push this through? I know they have heard this idea before
