My Reaction to the New Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Trailer

I just want to preface this by saying that I grew up watching the "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers." I had the weapons, I had the zords, I had the action figures, I watched every episode multiple times up to "Power Rangers: In Space" and has seen at least one episode of every season afterwards. And while Power Rangers was always extremely cheap and cheesy, it is apart of my childhood, it is apart of my identity. I remember when in 1996, my mother took me to go see the "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" movie in theaters and I remembered feeling so good when I got a chance to have the white ranger at my 5th birthday party, but also the blue ranger at my 6th birthday party. I was a fan and was apart of Power Ranger mania.

Now that I am older, I look at good times and see it for what it was, a good time, but now being older I am into other stuff that is more important. Haim Saban on the other hand has decided to reboot the franchise while at the same time putting out new seasons for the show, using action footage from "Shuriken Sentai Ninninjer" to make his new "Power Rangers: Ninja Steel", which at this point is the second and a half ninja themed season. I'll probably watch the first episode and leave it at that like I always do because Power Rangers is not for me anymore, it is for kids with an amazing imagination. However, Saban wants to come out with a movie that an older generation will love and enjoy, but I am very skeptical. This because he has already made two movies in the 90's that were box office busts and extremely grueling to make.

I fear that this movie will be no different. This will be a review of the official trailer that is shown on Youtube and my personal reaction to what I see in it. I do not wish to speak on it with a negative tone, but I am coming into it as someone who still has the source material fresh in their mind and as someone who isn't the biggest fan on the "reboot" style. I can understand a series like "Star Trek" getting rebooted because the source material was originally made in the 1960's. However, I can go straight onto Netflix to watch a new episode of Power Rangers as well as the old episodes, so it isn't like these things are difficult to find. The other thing is that this movie is noticeably marketed towards a more mature audience, much like Jason Bay's "Transformers" was as well.

The opening portion starts, showing a picture of the "Welcome to Angel Grove" sign. So, okay, I am guessing that this is taking place in a Southern California beach town with a seagull on the sign and the houses looking like ones you would find at a beach town. Angel Grove was a town that was supposed to be in California and while in the source material it wasn't exactly known as a beach town, it did have a large lake in it that many episodes were filmed at. Not to mention there is a figure riding down a hill as a bell rings. Right off the bat, I am guessing that this is the character Jason, but I am not sure.

Then we transition to a hallway where a girl is walking down it and passing a lighter skinned guy. A voice announces "none of us really know each other..." as an African American kid searches in his locker and stairs intently. Kind of funny to me because when we first saw the Rangers in the "Day of the Dumpster," the five were best friends. Jason was the karate teacher to Billy and sparring partner with Zack, Trini was friend to Kimberly and both girls were supportive of Billy. We then see the three with the girl in front, the white guy in the middle and the black kid in the back and she is saying "we are all screw ups"... Again, in the show, they were not screw ups, they were really good students who rarely got in trouble. And when they got in trouble, they were able to get through it by doing the right thing. They were multi-faceted individuals because while they attended school, they were scientists, karate instructors, gymnasts and extremely active in the community. They were anything, but screw ups.

As the black kid runs his hand along a stone wall the narrator continues "but somehow..." and the wall collapses into the water. The five walk up to a light and the white kid says "we were all at the same place at the same time when Billy found those coins" as he picks up and it glows and they all fall into the water. The white guy then says "hey guys, check out how we glow!" We finally catch sight of the rangers and their colors with the two girls being yellow and pink, the white guy being red, the Asian guy being black and the black guy being blue. The African American one announces "I'm blue!" and then the Asian guy responds "I'm black", to which the African American one says "no you aren't," and the Asian one responds "yes I am" as the five laugh.

To me, this is the second biggest problem with the trailer. In the original show, the red ranger seemed white/Native American, the pink ranger was white, the blue ranger was white, the black ranger was, well, black and the yellow ranger was Asian. And while a lot of people seemed to have a problem with this, we as kids didn't. When we played power rangers at school, the black kids wanted to be the black ranger and the Asian girls wanted to be the yellow ranger. We didn't have any classification of race because we got to be whatever ranger that we wanted to be. By pointing out that this is in some way is scaring people off from being what they wanted to be. It also doesn't work on a continuity level. Billy's last name in the show was Cranston and Zack's last name was Taylor. Now tell me something, how many African Americans do you know with the last name Cranston and how many full Asians do you know with the last name Taylor? Doesn't make any sense to me, but I guess since they can re-invent the series, they can do whatever they want.

Jason gets out of bed, shirtless, and notices that he has raging muscles and then one of the girls breaks a glass with her bare hands. Then it cuts to Jason going up to his sink and smashing it. Zack says, "we're strong" as a girl jumps a really far distance between to rocks. Billy exclaims "extremely strong" as Zack jumps between two cars. This is the first revelation that I actually preferred in the trailer. In the original show, the Power Rangers were originally regular teenagers with decent martial arts skills and when they morphed into the costumes, they became almost invincible fighters. This actually shows that the rangers gain a decent power boost after getting the power and likely gain strong armor after morphing but are still powerful when they are un-morphed.

In a large room, a bellowing voice yells "The answer to what is happening to you, is here..." as scenes of the Command Center are shown. Bryan Cranston as Zordon then says, "you five ARE THE POWER RANGERS" as we see that Zordon is not a floating head in a tube, but rather a face on a wall. Zack then exclaims, "did he just say that we are Power Rangers?" One of the girls follow up by saying "are we talking to a wall? This has got to be a joke!" Then Alpha says, "I was expecting a little more." Let me say that while a bald "Break Bad" Bryan Cranston as Zordon is absolutely awesome and I have ZERO problem with him being a floating head on a wall. I never understood how he was a floating head in a tube anyways as it was always a question of whether he was technology or magical.

Then we are brought to the yellow ranger's house, which is next to the water and a voice says, "where were you last night?" To which she responds, "me and four kids found a space ship underground, I'm pretty sure that I am a super hero. To which her brothers announce, "cool!" And then I am guessing her mother tells her to pee in the cup. I don't know what to think of this because originally the rangers were not only supposed to keep their super hero status to themselves, but also the fact that drugs were never a huge part in "Power Rangers". I am guessing the character of Trini was struggling with a drug problem in this movie, but she never struggled with a drug problem in the show. To me it is just a step to make this person more like teenagers of now, but I don't know many parents that tell their kids to pee in a cup.

"Power Rangers were a legion of warriors, you must become these warriors..." As the putties of the movie form themselves. They appear to be giant clouds of smoke and rock as the black ranger says, "they are just a hologram, like a video game," as he gets his butt kicked and then laments "not a video game..." I don't really mind that this is what the putties look like, I know they used to be dudes in spandex costumes and this might allow them to be easier to generate and use. The rangers then climb up a rock face and I am guessing that Kimberly kisses Jason, which will be really weird if the sequel includes the Green Ranger, which all of the fanboys and girls will go bonkers about. A train goes by and a cloaked figure does karate on it as Zordon says "you were born for this..."

We then see a "Poison Ivy" looking lady that says "I will destroy everything..." as she lands on top of the rangers. Zordon announces "she is pure evil" as people run away and she throws a girl against a wall. Personally, I don't think that Rita Repulsa looks good like this. The makers of this movie should have merely started up a whole new villain or actually made this bad guy look more like Rita. Again, there is no part of the original Rita that was green, this person looks like a carbon copy of Uma Thurmond's Poison Ivy from "Batman and Robin." It just looks lazily put together like someone was like "I think this would be a good idea," when it actually sucked.

Trini, looking dejected asks "how are we going to stop her?" as Rita comes out of the chaos. Jason exclaims, "it's morphin' time," goes onto a platform and morphs. They walk out of the Command Center, take a step onto the ground and fight the putties. Then we see their zords, which by the way are one of the better parts of the trailer. Goldar, on the other hand, looks like cow crap with the black ranger exclaiming, "that's a lot of gold!" Goldar is like a golden monkey with wings, claws and sharp teeth. His Japanese character was called Grifforzer in Zyuranger and nothing like he is shown in this trailer.

Zordon then says, "this is your destiny" as Jason helps someone out of a wreck, Kimberly flies her zord into Goldar as he slashes her away. Actually, I like his face, I don't like his body on the other hand. Red ranger is moving through the mud and he is actually shown with his visor off. This in my eyes defeats the purpose of them having a helmet besides protecting them. Them keeping secret identities is the reason why they have costumes in the first place. It might be a cool piece in the movie, but I would much more prefer them with their visors on. We then see the word "GO" twice as the saber-toothed tiger jumps onto Goldar to attack. Zordon then says, "this is your destiny..." as the megazord reveals itself punching Goldar. I am not much of a fan of the megazord itself, more of a fan of the individual zords because the megazord just looks like a CGI mess and that is the end of the trailer.

To the things that I like about this, I like Bryan Cranston's Zordon, I like the individual zords, I like the fact that them having powers expands to out of costume powers, making them super human. I also didn't mind what their suits looked like and I also didn't mind that Zordon was a floating head on a wall. And that is all that I can say that was good about the trailer. I hate, hate, hate the fact that they got their ethnicities wrong, I hate the way Alpha looks, I hate the way Rita looks even more, and I don't like the fact that these kids are all misfits and nobodies. The original power rangers weren't screw ups, they were mostly decent people. I once saw a "Power Rangers" fan movie that showed the rangers in detention, but they weren't all messed up kids, some it was more of a "Breakfast Club" situation where one got bad grades, one was a bad kid, one got in a fight with the school bully, and the other just did something stupid. I forget because it was a long time ago, but they weren't all screw-ups.

Regardless, I think that a lot of 18 to 30 year olds will watch this movie and I think they will enjoy it, especially those who like the "Fast and the Furious" and the "Transformers" movies. However, it looks really junky in some areas. Not saying that it won't be good, but I just am not a huge fan of the reboot style. I think that they are often times cheap ways of making money and I think that if Hollywood really had time on their hands, they would try to make something creative instead of trying to ride a cash cow that never did well in movies. That is just me, regardless, I do want to see it, I just might want to wait until a pirated version comes out.

Jenny McDermott Lies to Save Face

One of my biggest pet peeves with people is when they say things that are deceptive as well as people who don't blame themselves when they do something suspect. So a few days ago, the polarizing figure, Jenny McDermott made a video response to a Google Hangout hosted by former friends Kristy Winters and Kevin Logan where they brought up "Armoured Rapegate" and she had a lot of bad things to say about the pair while blaming everyone but herself for what happened during the internet scandal.

Now I am no fan of Kristy Winters and I am definitely not a supporter of Kevin Logan. Kristy Winters was merely that annoying feminist that made excuses for the stooge feminists like Jenny McDermott, Laughing Witch, Hannibal the Victor, and Bewildered Ape for writing letters to Thunderf00t's bosses in the Czech Republic. What they did was write letters to the University that he worked at that said that Phil Mason was a bigoted Nazi sympathizer that hates woman, is "racist against Muslims", and has an army of skin headed Neo Nazi's. They did this because he made a series of videos about the pop culture critic and professional victim named Anita Sarkeesian and they also thought that he would lose his job because in the Czech Republic, it is often illegal and a a person could get thrown in jail if it can be proven that he was a Neo Nazi. Now because the University he works at did a background check, they were able to find that Phil was not guilty about this.

While Phil was unharmed by this, Laughing Witch almost lost her business, Hannibal the Victor was outed as a sex offender because Thunderf00t's fans found out that he either tried to have sex with a 17 year old or he got caught in a sting operation that included what he thought was a 17 year old. Bewildered Ape got doxed and Jenny McDermott was impregnated by Bewildered Ape. Hold on, she wishes she got impregnated by the banana eating mammal, but regardless, she went through a mid-life crisis where she went bat sh*t crazy. Now Kristy defended these people when they were never victims in the first place, but she was relatively harmless. Kevin Logan on the other hand is basically a dishonest potato-head that still defended these people. He claimed that Laughing Witch was a good person and he also decided that it would be a good idea to make up rumors about Phil Mason making up the fact that his father was dying of cancer for pity points. It is reasons like this that I coined the phrase, "you should never go full Kevin Logan."

So what was "Armoured Rapegate"? It was probably one of the worst internet situations that has happened and it didn't even have to happen in the first place. So at the beginning, Armoured Skeptic was an anti-feminist that Jenny said that at one time tried to hit on her when he had a wife and another internet girlfriend named Savanna or from Savanna, Georgia, one of those and ended up killing herself. Now did Armoured Skeptic try to solicit Jenny for sex? I have no idea, I mean, sometimes people get go to bars and wait till 2 am to take the ugliest girl home. I have done that before, sometimes I have even been the ugliest guy at the bar that some unlucky girl made a bad choice on, but I am not going to sit here and brag. To make a long story short, she was that unattractive girl and she apparently said no.

Now Armoured Skeptic was around 30 years old and he started dating another YouTube anti-feminist named Shoe0nhead. I don't know how old she was, but I am pretty sire that she was over the age of 18. Jenny comes out from nowhere, with badly cut hair and all, with claims that she believed that the 30 year old Armoured Skeptic was a statutory rapist because he was dating Shoe0nhead when she was 17. Yes, Jenny basically got on the highest hill and yelled it to the whole internet. Now while nobody actually believed her because Shoe and Skeptic now lived in Canada where 16 years old was the age of consent. However, Jenny never apologized, she just kept backtracking until she lost her channel for slander and libel. Now here is the thing, if you think that someone has committed a crime that is as as serious as statutory rape, it probably isn't the best idea to tell the internet about it. Instead, you should probably tell the authorities. Now that we know that Jenny has slandered a person then how are we supposed to believe her in the future? This is the classic "crazy bird feminist cried statutory rape" situation.

Now Jenny made a total of four videos about the situation before her channel was taken down. At first she just comes out and tells everyone that Armoured Skeptic was 30 and Shoe0nhead was 17 when they started dating. Then when people started calling her out on why she was wrong she created a fake email from a comment that Armoured Skeptic wrote on one of her videos saying that Shoe's parents approved of their relationship and that he would sue Jenny if she didn't stop for libel. Jenny made a big joke of this, claiming that he was suing her for lawlbel, just for lawls! Lets just say that if this ever went to court, Jenny might have been royally screwed. Jenny then backtracks and tells everyone on the internet that now Shoe was a "retarded" girl and that her "inbred" parents gave Armoured Skeptic permission to "f*ck" Shoe0nHead. The truth is that Shoe0nHead was 24 when all of these videos started coming out and she and Armoured Skeptic had been dating for one or two years. Knowing this information we can all conclude that Jenny is a complete idiot that could never take a hint. And even after people continued to make videos debunking her false information, she didn't budge an inch and was the leader of the hashtag #ArmouredRapegate until her channel's better end.

Here is where Kevin Logan comes in. After Jenny was taking a major slam for being a big mouth, she decides to explain where she got the information about Shoe being younger than 17 when she met Armoured Skeptic. She told everyone that it was Kevin Logan that told her. Now I wouldn't trust Kevin as far as I can throw him and it is even worse that he either lied or was wrong about Shoe0nHead's age. He eventually apologized for basically showing Jenny how to shoot the gun even though he didn't do it himself. Now Jenny doesn't claim that she did anything wrong, but still merely blames other people for her problems.

However, in this video, she treats her viewers like idiots and calls out Kristy and Kevin many times for their own misogyny, funny because it basically boils down to two chickens bickering in the background. For some reason, calling out Kristy for doxing Bearing seems to make the fact that Jenny wrongfully accused a man or being a sex offender magically disappear. At the end of the day, Jenny has basically nobody in her corner, besides her hairy f***boy Bewildered Ape, because her big mouth has gotten in the way and we all see how vile of a person she really is. She wants to tell you that she is not the instigator, fine! Here is the problem, we don't believe you because you played "Crazy Feminist Cries Rape" one too many times. Nobody trusts you and you have basically made people's lives miserable in more than one way.

Bill O'Reilly Almost Gets Jesse Watters Shot

Anyone reading this is probably asking themselves, "who is Jesse Watters?" Now I don't watch FOX News and I don't watch the "O'Reilly Factor" or his stupid "No Spin Zone" where Bill O'Reilly basically speaks the conservative talking point of the day, ironically spinning things in a way only he would. Now when Bill O'Reilly wants opinions from people on the street, he employs the help of probably the biggest, pompous douchebag on the planet to interview people. Now Watters has been known recently for interviewing some uniformed people on a college campus and for attempting to make fun of Chinese people in China Town, but this time, his ol' buddy Bill unintentionally put his right hand puppet in possible harms way.

Now the story all started at Hampshire College in Massachusetts where students lowered the American Flag on campus because of the way certain people acted during and after the election when it came to people of "minority" backgrounds in this country. In response to students eventually burning the flag, college president, Jonathan Lash decided to take down the flag altogether to start a dialogue about what was going on in the country. Now I want to clear something up, I like the flag, I am not for burning the flag, taking down the flag when it isn't supposed to be taken down, and I don't know what the laws are in that state when it comes to dealings with the flag. However, Bill O'Reilly was outraged by pretty obvious freedom of speech so he decided to bring the king douchebag himself to Massachusetts in order to "ambush" Jonathan Lash at his residence. Now part of this response this response will be about the encounter and the other part will be the conversation between O'Reilly and Watters. Here we go, wish me luck!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdafHVjV_XQ

Setting: Jonathan Lash is in his garage, getting out of his car and Watters and his camera crew is in the garage and Watters has his microphone up to Lash's mouth. 

Watters: Hey President Lash, how are you? Jesse Watters with the FOX News channel... Good to see you.

A very cordial beginning, will it last? I highly doubt it!

Lash: Not good to see you.

Most people are likely to say this when they stare king douche in the face.

Watters: Now that I have you here, why did you remove the American flag from campus?

A great way to open an interview, where did Jesse Watters get his degree?

Lash: ***closes door to his car and opens his house door*** Nice to meet you...

This would be the last of the kind words that I would have for Mr. Watters.

Watters: Don't you realize the whole country is laughing at you right now? ***rudely sticks his foot in the door***

I actually thought that the journalistic integrity of Mr. Watters is more laughable than anyone taking down the American flag.

Lash: Come on, get your foot out of my door... ***tries to close the door***

This is the moment where I would have taken my gun and blown Jesse's head square off his shoulders on national television, then see how Bill O'Reilly feels about breaking and entering.

Watters: ***still with foot in the door*** President Lash, why did you remove the flag?

Lash: I don't want to talk to you about it.

Watters: Don't you think you owe it to the veterans to explain it? 

He just said he doesn't want to talk to you, you deaf prick.

Lash: No I don't want to talk to you about it... Would you please remove your foot from my door?

Watters: You made a lot of people very upset, you think you owe the country an explanation? 

Who cares?

Lash: You're giving speeches...

And that was where the interview cuts off. Let me just say that Jesse Watters is a mighty brave person for going to another person's residence with no permission and putting his foot in the door. Because if it were me, I am either A. Calling the cops for attempting to break and enter or B. Finding the nearest household weapon to threaten this man and his camera crew to get off of my property. Let me let this be known, Jesse Watters, Billy O'Reilly and FOX News did not notify President Lash before coming to his house to ask permission for an interview. I could understand ambushing this man on the street, at the store, or even on University property. However, Watters decides to go straight into the man's garage and puts his foot in the man's door to try to "ambush" him.

On a personal matter, I think that Lash handled this in quite a calm manner. I am sure if this individual was more violent and had firearms in his residence, there is no telling what could have happened. Thanks to Bill O'Reilly's idiocy, he put Watters and a camera crew in danger, likely without even thinking. At this point, I don't really care what the man's opinion is when it comes to taking down the flag, you don't go to a man's house, step foot inside his door, and "ambush" him like that. When someone says "I don't want to talk to you right now", that is code in the English language to F*ck Off! Obviously Jesse Watters was absent from school when they taught that or he just wants to create theater and drama.

Of course Bill O'Reilly wanted to conclude the segment by talking to Watters about what happened. I was hoping that O'Reilly would scold Watters for what he did, but lets see how O'Reilly felt:

O'Reilly: I thought you handled that well, with the guy, its the same old stuff, these guys are cowards, he's a coward, if he had the courage of his convictions, he'd stand in with you and say "this is why I did it" and he would allow you to ask him questions like a journalist would in a polite way, you were polite to him. So uh, he is a villain and a coward, but this is historically, I think Amherst, Massachusetts is one of the most far left place in the country, even worst than Oakland. 

What was I thinking? Let me break this drivel down for everyone. Bill, Jesse did NOT handle this well. He went into his garage, unannounced and completely uninvited. He thought that he could invite himself into the man's house when the man told him that he didn't want to talk and made it clear that he could NOT come in and he continued to attempt to interview him anyways. Jesse Watters is not a journalist, he is no different than the paparazzi on TMZ that follows celebrities around, takes exposing pictures of them, and skews the truths. You know those tabloids that you read at the grocery store? That is the type of journalistic integrity that Watters has. I would never allow Watters to interview me and if I did, I would just sit back and troll the guy to pieces, because that is what he deserves. And no, Watters was not being polite, polite people do not do what Watters did. A raging douchebag? Yes! A polite person, hell to the no.

Now I find it funny that O'Reilly applauded his stooge, Watters, and said that he handled this "well". The reason why I say this is because Bill O'Reilly is no stranger to being ambushed at his residence. A few years ago, a liberal blogger showed up at Bill O'Reilly's house to try to talk to him and O'Reilly almost called the cops. And then the next night he called out the blogger and called him "unprofessional" for showing up to his private property. So lets just call a spade a spade and say that Bill is a hypocrite like we all knew. So yes Bill, it is unprofessional to come to someone's property unannounced in order to intimidate someone into talking to you by sticking your foot in their door despite them telling you to stop multiple times. So thank you Mr. O'Reilly for proving that you are just as much of a coward as Mr. Lash is because, you were too scared to get interviewed by someone who was doing something illegal. Here is the thing, I felt bad for you when this happened to you, but now I don't, because you actually applaud it when it happens to people you disagree with.

Watters: It is extremely far left, they are a sanctuary city, the council there attempted to impeach President George W. Bush and then again, they flew a UN flag and at Hampshire College, you can pick your own major. People major in ultimate frisbee, in basket weaving, there are no grades...

I am not going to comment on the whole sanctuary city or being far left as I also don't have a problem with being far right, so that is irrelevant. If they wanted to impeach George W. Bush, I mean, I don't agree, they have an opinion, he wasn't impeached, so they didn't get their wish. What is hilarious is the fact that Jesse doesn't know how college works. Yes, you can pick your own major. That is what I did, that is what most people do. What do you think? The college picks your major? Your parents pick your major? The creepy guy next door picks your major? It makes sense that Watters currently does something that he likely didn't study in college. And do dis-spell all rumors or lies from Jesse Watters, no, you cannot have your major be ultimate frisbee or basket weaving. Hampshire College is a liberal arts college, but neither of those majors are on the list of "Areas of Study" on the school website, so that is probably the biggest lie told by the biggest douchebag on the planet. Also, nowhere on the "courses offered" does it say anything about basket weaving or ultimate frisbee classes. I have no idea where Watters got this information, but he likely made it up because FOX News viewers are completely ignorant.

One truth that Watters did tell was that there are no grades at Hampshire College. According to Hampshire College, they use "inquiry based, discussing rich and written intensive learning". Now, this is not an old aged way of of educating college students. Yes, there are no grades and I do not 100% agree with this, but they do feel like giving feedback and allowing students to redo assignments in order for them to get things right. I would have liked to have had something like that in school, but when you are dealing with a lot of students, it is sometimes important to separate them into those students who have done well and those who have not. Again, it does eliminate competition, which is sometimes good, but if there is no competition, then you will not see students go above and beyond. At least that is something that I have heard. I don't agree with their policy, but if they get results, then they might feel like they are doing something right. So again, Watters could have elaborated, but because he is talking to ultra conservatives and likely uninformed viewers, then he just comes off with a one liner.

O'Reilly: So they don't have any grades at Hampshire College? 

He just said that you deaf idiot!

Watters: They have no grades and you can pick your own major...

Again, that is what you do in college, you moron!

O'Reilly: Well, their college is done, and it is a laughing stock. We are laughing at them, anyone can go to their college now, it is like Kindergarten. You know, heres some blocks, go play!

Bill, if their college is done because they have no grades, their students can pick their own majors (which any student at any college can do), and has lowered the American Flag amongst turmoil at the college, then you, your show, and Jesse Watters are even funnier jokes. Not only did you put your douchey reporter in harm's way by having him ambush a guy on his private property, but the guy basically broke, entered, and tried to intimidate a man into an interview. Not to mention, that same, douchey, reporter came onto your show and told half truths on your joke of a show.

But lets be serious here Bill, the college has a 67% acceptance rate, EVERYONE cannot go to their college. Again, they can pick their own major from around thirty or so total majors. It takes a mere Google search to figure that out, but because you live in the stone age, you probably were too lazy to do that. You cannot take basket weaving or ultimate frisbee classes, but again, this was a lie told by someone who I wouldn't even trust to look after my household pet. Bill, where did you learn your journalistic integrity? Because, it likely wasn't at whatever University or College that you went to as a young lad. According to your Wikipedia page, you attended Marist College, Boston University, and Harvard University. I wonder how they would feel about your journalistic integrity and the way your underlings conduct interviews, I don't think they would be extremely unhappy with you and they might tell you to go back to, might I say? Kindergarten... I rest my case.

Jesse Watters, doing what douchebags do best!

Richard Spencer: The Most Uncomfortable Speech Ever Given

I didn't think I ever would, but I got through the most cringeworthy, most uncomfortable video I have ever seen and that is saying something because I have made MANY cringeworthy videos. Richard B. Spencer, the leader of the Alternative Right Winged group called the NPI (National Policy Institute), made a speech in Washington D.C. on the 19th of November for their yearly convention that last a whopping twelve hours. Now I didn't watch twelve hours of footage, I would rather gouge my ears out with a rusty screwdriver and stab myself in the eyes with broken mirror shards, but I did watch Spencer's main speech. The following is a response to such speech. Again, what he said is going to be in italics and my response will be below. I am also putting in a "trigger" warning for everyone who easily get upset as such material, but I feel the need to respond and make fun of it because that is what it deserves. Also, this isn't the full speech, merely just the abridged one. Good luck to me!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o6-bi3jlxk

Hail Trump! Hail our people! Hail victory! 

So I think it is safe to say that these people didn't vote for Hillary...

***People start to throw up NAZI salutes***

Well, that escalated quickly... Pretty uncomfortable for a Jew to watch people salute like that, but this was a twelve hour conference, so they are probably just stretching...

No one will honor us for losing gracefully...

Oh, so you did vote for Hillary, my bad. 

No one mourns the great crimes committed against us...

You mean affirmative action? God Damn Rooney Rule! 

For us, it is conquer or die!

Did the African American athletes overtake your basketball court again? That stuff always pisses me off too. 

The mainstream media, or perhaps we should refer to them in original German, "Legenpresse". 

We refuse to call it what it means in modern German, "Poopepanse"!

***Crowd claps and laughs***

That is the same reaction people give during a Rob Schneider stand up comedy routine. 

It's not that they are just leftists and cucks...

This isn't a joke, but what is it with calling people "cucks"? I see this like everywhere by trolls on the internet and literally found out that the word existed like six months ago when that female, white supremacist from Canada named Evalion got banned from YouTube. I was like "whats a cuck?" So I go on Urban Dictionary and find out that even more trolls thought they were being clever by spamming for 80 or so pages that Onision is the leader of the cucks because he is a feminist, a liberal, and a vegetarian. Now I am not fan of Onision and I am none of those thing, so why do people keep calling me a cuck? 

So I finally find a page that shows what the word "cuck" means. Cuck, short for cuckhold is a term referring to a man with a female signifiant other that engages in sexual advances with other men. Okay, so I am none of those, so it appears to me that these people don't even know the meanings of words that they use. On the other side of the spectrum, how do these people know that my significant other is having sex with other men? Are they big brother? Are they always watching? If so, they must be extremely perverted. I am merely just going to go out on a limb and say that a "cuck" is merely someone who disagrees with this guy's political ideology. This is kind of ridiculous because he is just making up words, can he do that? Well, he just did so that was a dumb question. You sir are a mamawamba. That means "huge dumb ass!" Ten bucks says that never sticks, but it is worth a try. 

It's not that many are genuinely stupid...

I mean, you don't even know what the word "cuck" is, so your intelligence must not be far from theirs. 

Indeed, one wonders whether these people are people at all...

I would like to know what this guy is smoking because nobody should be wondering that at all. 

Or instead some soulless Golem, animated by some dark power...

Yeah, thats how I felt when I had a Graveler in Pokemon Blue, I was so pissed when I found out that I needed to trade it in order to evolve it into a Golem. Oh, that probably isn't what you meant. I think he just called everyone a drone, a zombie. That is usually the way I am when I wake up from a long nap and it is still bright outside.

To repeat whatever talking point John Oliver said the night before...

Wait, we were talking about the mainstream media, right? This guy does know that the "Last Week Tonight Show" is just some British guy who used to work for Stephen Colbert just sitting up there doing exactly what Stephen Colbert used to do on the "Colbert Report"? Is it too late for me to call this guy a mamawamba? I think it is also safe to say that John Oliver is a "cuck" because he doesn't agree with Spencer's political views? That is the go to word in this situation, right? 

To be white is to be a striver, a crusader, an explorer, and a conquerer...

... horrible at basketball, horrible infomercial actor, and outside of Eminem and Lil' Dicky, a horrible rapper!

We build, we produce, we go upward...

You guys couldn't build a jenga house... As a matter of fact, you have to hire undocumented immigrants from Mexico to build for you, don't take credit for things you didn't make yourself, ya lazy bums! 

And we recognize the central lie of American race relations...

You do, King of the mamawambas? Please enlighten me on how someone who uses words that he doesn't know, knows about race relations.

We don't exploit other groups, we don't gain anything by their presence, they need us and not the other way around.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You don't know anything more about race relations than you know the definition of the word "cuck". Let me tell you how our country works. The people have a need for a certain good. There is a company that sells that good. That company outsources production to Central America, Asia, and heck, even Canada. We get that product for cheap because they have slave labor in some of those areas and that is how that works. Heck, we have even fought wars in foreign countries so that we can suckle on the precious oil that they have. So don't tell me we don't exploit other groups and we don't gain anything from others. You are either living under a rock or you are just that dumb. 

Within the very blood of our veins as children of the sun lies the potential for greatness. 

The term "children of the sun" was a term used to describe the Incan Empire, numb nuts. You would know that if you weren't a complete mamawamba. 

That is the great struggle we are called to.

It is? Cause I am pretty sure you cannot be white and Incan at the same time. You can't bring back what has been extinct for hundreds of years.

We are not meant to live in shame and weakness and disgrace.

You should be shoving those NAZI salutes up your butts, but I didn't know NAZI salutes were customary for ancient Incan people.

We were not meant to beg for moral validation...

You are kind of begging for it right now, no offense.

From some of the most despicable creatures to ever populate the planet. 

This a**hole is so pissed off that there are minorities living in this country, it is so painfully obvious. On the real, it isn't my fault that some black guy is better than him at sports, some Jew took all of his money, and some Asian was smarter than him. You see when bad things happen to people, they blame it on ethnic minority groups, because they are easy to blame and because if you are talking behind someone else's back, then they won't be able to defend themselves. My real question is, who is he going to blame for using words that he doesn't know the meaning to?

We were meant to overcome, overcome all of it, because that is natural and normal for us.

Sorry, this reads as one of those movie halftime speeches that the coach uses to rally his team. "THEY CAN TAKE OUR LIVES! BUT THEY CAN NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOM!" Oh wait, hold on, that was Braveheart. "And when the roosters are crowing and the cows are spinning circles in the pasture... DUCKS FLY TOGETHER!!!!!" Thats more like it, good ole "Mighty Ducks"!!!

The press has clearly decided to double down and wage war against the legitimacy of Donald Trump and the continued existence of white America. 

You have yourselves to thank for that. I mean, you guys are basically sheet-less, hoodless, neo-NAZI's, who endorsed him. You basically lost all legitimacy after the "heil Hilters" and the fact that you don't even know what the word "cuck" means. He is also probably the most out of his league president that we ever had because, oh, I don't know, he doesn't know what a Nuclear Triad is. So I think that our concerns are well put.

Oh and as for the continued existence of white America. Whites make up 63% of this god damn country. Pretty sure white people are safe for right now. I mean look at the selfie taken by the whole Republican Party after Donald Trump won, they are all white. So please, go back to your safe spaces and shut up!

But they are really opening up the door for us. 

Bro, everyone is laughing at not only you, but also the rest of your mamawamba cronies who use words they don't know the meanings to. Honest to god, whenever having a conversation with someone who is alt. right, I can always expect them to utter words and phrases like "cuck", libtard, political correctness, and white genocide. These are all words and phrases used to win arguments and expect a lot of it if you are winning an argument.

America was, until this past generation, a white country...

Well apparently it still is, look at the Republicans in the Senate, or Congress, or whatever they control. It is all white. And, do you even know what a generation is? Or are you still using words that you don't know the meanings to?

Designed for ourselves and our posterity...

The late 1960's was in the last generation? WTF are you smoking, give it to me right now? On the real, this is where this whole thing gets super uncomfortable because this guy thinks that the constitution is only for white people because it was written by white people. Well, I mean, he is technically right, it was written and designed for white people during a time of slavery. However, it isn't 1789 anymore and slavery no longer exists to the chagrin of the leader of the mamawamba!

It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us... ***fat guy gets up and leaves while other throw up the NAZI salute***

And that ends the most uncomfortable, least informed speech EVER given. Honest to god, this guy believes or wants other mamawambas to believe that white people are being suppressed. What the f*ck? Clearly white people control more powerful positions, white people NEVER get racially profiled, white people have NEVER been systematically killed off during history, white people have NEVER been victims of genocide, and white people like this a**hole are sitting there acting like he is next. Newsflash, you are going to be just fine. I understand that people want to have pride in being white and I get it, that is fine, you can be proud of your white identity. But this guy just hailed Hitler in a room filled with other people that also hailed Hitler. If that isn't a recipe for disaster, I don't know what is. It is also why I never want to be part of the Alt. Right movement and will likely never be. Why? Because I am smarter and funnier than them.

Tomi Lahren: The Alt Right Millennial "Snowflake"

When I was in my late teens to early twenties, I considered myself as a very liberal individual. I agreed with the principals of those of MSNBC, CNN, and The Young Turks, while at the same time scorning right winged networks like Fox News. I was pro abortion, anti gun, and was very anti religion. It wasn't until around 2014 when women like Anita Sarkeesian, Breanna Wu, and Rebecca Watson started trying to ban media that they felt was sexist against women I kind of changed my mind. I feel like it is one of the reasons why I am not a feminist, among other reasons, it is also one of the reasons why I no longer consider myself to be a liberal, but rather a moderate with progressive tendencies. I am also no longer anti gun, but I am still pro choice because I know that it isn't my responsibility to tell women what to do with their own bodies.

However, over the last year or so, I have stopped supporting YouTubers that are of the alternative right movement in this country. I used to watch those "anti feminist" videos of crazy third wave feminists losing their sh*t and getting triggered, but now I am less interested because I know that this isn't how all feminists act. It has actually come to become extremely annoying because these YouTubers just complain and make fun of feminists, but there are probably worst things and ideas being spread in their own movement and they just ignore it. This could either be because their viewers are those neck bearded, red pill swallowers, or because it makes money to make fun of feminists. 

I know that was a long tangent that might have nothing to do with my below narrative, but it makes people understand my political opinions and what I watch on the internet. This has to do with an up and coming so called "journalist" on "The Blaze" named Tomi Lahren. From what I have gathered, Tomi Lahren is an alt right ding bat from Grand Rapids, South Dakota, who went to the University of Reno Nevada for a journalism degree and has a boyfriend in the armed forces. Oh yeah, and not to mention, she complains at length about liberal acts in this country that she does not like. The things that she has complained about has been, Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the National Anthem, Beyonce saluting Black Panthers during the Halftime Show of Super Bowl 50, and most recently, protestors who don't like the fact that Donald Trump is now the President of the United States. 

I will post the whole video in this post, but just a warning, her voice is like nails on a chalkboard, so if you have sensitive ears, I suggest you merely read what is said in this post. I will also be using the post to respond to her idiocies to try to put her in her place. I know she will probably never read this, but she really needs to because she isn't as good and she isn't as smart as she thinks that she is. Everybody wish me good luck in getting through this drivel in her "Final Thoughts".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrvATxJ7J-U 

Time for some "Final Thoughts", half of the country is angry right now, I get it...

Oh really, you "get it", well, I guess we should just roll credits, she gets it, post over, good bye! Oh wait, there is more? Dammit!

Before we start calling the reaction a "protest", lets get something straight. A protest is a "peaceful" objection to a grievance. A bunch of sore losers occupying a space is called a tantrum and that is exactly what we are seeing around the nation from Trump's "historic" and earned victory.

Tomi, Tomi, Tomi, you and I both know that that isn't the definition of the word "protest" and if you didn't know that this isn't the definition of the word protest, then someone needs to take away your "journalism" degree. The definition of the word "protest" is the following: 

An organized public demonstration expressing strong objectification to a policy or course of action adopted by those of authority.

The fact of the matter is that there is no part of your definition that even fits into the true one. And while you could say that these protests can be described as a "tantrum" I wouldn't be running around on your show, in your comfortable little chair, far away from your detractors, acting like you are not guilty of such tantrums. Why? Well it doesn't take a mere google search to know you are guilty yourself of having childish outbursts when things happen that you do not like. 

Now I will say right now that I don't agree with the methods that these protestors have been using. I don't agree with people causing bodily harm to others, which is something that I have seen in the news recently. I also don't agree with protestors standing outside of Trump Tower, holding up signs that say "Rape Melania". Just like I don't agree with people committing hate crimes against people of other races and ethnicities, writing obscene things like swastikas on slides, and burning down black churches. All of these things are deplorable to me and none of them should be happening. I also think it is equally horrible that people seem to ignore the atrocities that people sharing the same political opinions have been doing towards others, when they should be exposing it like they expose their opponents. 

And isn't it ironic that people who condemned Trump and Trump supporters for intolerance and close mindedness are now angry and downright hostile because their candidate lost. Listen, if yall wanted her to win that badly, you should have had the enthusiasm before Tuesday night, but you didn't and thats how it goes. 

Enthusiasm? You do know that "enthusiasm" was at an all time low. You do know that former Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney had more overall votes than Donald Trump, who was called a "choke artist" by the President Elect. Not to mention in other results, he may have gained less votes than Hillary Clinton, especially when you consider a Snopes article for who actually won the popular vote. So when you use words like "historic" I look at you and ask if you even did your research as Donald Trump actually received hundreds of thousands of less votes than the former Presidential runner up, so nothing about the amount of votes he received was "historic". 

It is funny because these same people laughed at Trump supporters for fearing a rigged election, heres the deal, don't forget that it is the Republican Party that suffers because of voter fraud and it is their leaders that are for voter ID laws, just sayin'.

I love how Tomi stands on her high horse and acts like the Republicans are absolutely, positively not guilty of voter fraud. Let me first talk about Democratic voter fraud. How much fraud do you think was committed during this election? According to Jesse Dollemore, a study at Loyola University has found a total of 31 "credible" instances of voter fraud. But now that these facts are out of the way, lets talk about voter ID laws. Now, you might think that showing your ID is a good thing, but the fact of the matter is that 11% of US citizens don't own a government issued ID. These people include minorities, poor people, and elderly people and you have to pay for these voter ID's. So therefore, you should never have to pay money to vote as it is your right to do so. Many times Republicans have gloated that voter ID's have helped them do better in elections. 

Now many people like Tomi Lahren might argue, "well, if we don't ID people, then we won't know whether they are allowed to vote or if they are even citizens." Here is the problem with this, there is no evidence that people are committing voter fraud by impersonating people and voter ID proponents think that the problem is more major than it actually is. Not to mention, Republicans have done a service in closing down voting stations in areas where minorities live, causing them to vote in further places and waiting in longer lines causes them to make the personal choice to not vote at all. So who is causing more voter fraud? Sounds to me like this is a case of Tomi sharing atrocities that occur on the left but coincidentally "forgetting" the ones that happen on the right in order to dupe her viewers.

Furthermore, correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe that we experienced mass protests after Obama won in 2008 or 2012. No riots or mass tantrums for the world to see. Why? I guess it is because Republicans lose with grace and most aren't afforded time in the middle of a work week to congregate and throw a fit because they have to WORK! We have to WORK so you can protest the MAN, while benefitting from the entitlements the man affords you, so theres that...

HAHAHA! Are you f***ing kidding me? Before we go into how ignorant of a person you are, let me first of all say that Republicans ALSO protested the election of Obama, twice, and there is plenty of evidence of that Tomi. So either you are playing dumb in order to entertain the prejudices of your viewers or you are dumb and extremely misinformed. Not to mention people went out of their way to claim that he was a Communist, a Muslim, a Marxist, the "black" devil, he was not born in this country and he was going to take away all of your guns, none of which were true. Let us also add the fact that people protested that he was "not" their president, people committed hate crimes against minority individuals (one case included a black man being assaulted for wearing an Obama t-shirt with his attackers running around yelling "F*** Obama! The N*g*er President!"), and finally people posting signs showing Obama's head around a noose. So don't go around telling me that Republicans didn't protest or held any moral high ground because they didn't and anyone who wants to deny it can, but they are also denying history as it happened.

But lets get back to your utter ignorance, Ms. Lahren. Lets get back to the fact that you just called protesting Americans "lazy" protestors that don't work, inferring that they are on welfare. Now this is nothing new to people like her. Republicans have been claiming for years that Democrats and Liberals are nothing more than lazy, thugs, that don't work. It is really funny that I know of a lot of Conservatives that don't work that much either. My question is, how do you know that these people who are protesting don't work? How do you know that they don't work hard? Lets see, you don't know that, you are making assumptions based off of what you have been told your whole life. You were likely told that liberals and Democrats are lazy people that offer nothing to society, but rather destroy it because of the want of free hand outs and welfare checks. You couldn't be more wrong Tomi, and I wouldn't be sitting on a pedestal claiming that I work hard if my only job was appearing on an internet show, complaining to a mostly uninformed audience, without using very much research, about how bad liberals are making this country. Especially when I have never heard you say once about how bad conservatives are making it. On a final note to this response, I haven't heard you criticize your lord and savior Donald Trump a single time, which means you have no room to criticize anyone about anything because you lack ALL objectivity.

These "protestors" are typical snowflake millennials, they feel slighted because they didn't want Trump to win and "it is not fair..." They wanted Hillary so it just should have magically happened, the entitlement mentality on steroids mixed with a new version of social justice. A version where anything the left does is just and everything else done is intolerant, but one of the criticisms and back handed insults tossed around by the mainstream media to explain Trump's win was "uneducated voters". Yeah, those without a college degree. Somehow a piece of paper has now become the standard for intelligence and the new bar for an "educated voter". 

To respond to the first part of this, look no further about what I previously said about how Republicans protested Barack Obama's two previous wins. Not to mention how much Ms. Lahren has stood on her spinning chair and protested literally EVERYTHING Obama has done and EVERYTHING that any liberal has done that she has not liked. This woman is probably one of the most annoying people I have ever listened to and has proven to either not know what she is talking about, is completely out of touch with the facts, or is trying to spin her message to fit HER agenda. The fact of the matter, Tomi, is that you are every bit of the "millennial snowflake" that you accuse liberals of. And again, how do you know that the protestors were ALL millennials? As a matter of fact, I could scan my Facebook timeline and find that for every "millennial" that was complaining about Trump, I could find just as many Generation "X'ers" or as many Baby Boomers doing the same exact complaining. So please, by all means, citation needed before opening your big mouth again and making generalizations that are either not true or greatly skewed!

Secondly, how do you know they wanted Hillary? I know many people who voted for Hillary because they didn't like Donald Trump. Whether they were merely people who hated Trump or because they were Bernie Sanders supporters and again did not like Donald Trump. I actually didn't know that many people who voted against Donald Trump because they were always Hillary Clinton supporters. But again, I wouldn't expect such a mindless drone like you to know this because it isn't your motivation to understand other people, you just comment on them because you have an outlet to do so. You are no different than liberals because all you do is find something liberal that you don't like and you complain about it like a four year old that didn't get a lollipop after their doctor's appointment even though it might be something that could help out this country. One the other side of the spectrum, you don't comment on any of the deplorable things that the right has done, it is just business as usually because like in movies and TV shows "if the cops don't chase you after you commit a crime, you can't get in trouble" when in your case it is, if you don't talk about it, it never happened!

Finally, I could care less if you are voter and you do or do not have a college degree. To me, a college degree does not show who is smarter than who, it rather tells that the individual that has a college degree is a more learned individual and has worked in a higher level of schooling. Not to mention, these people more easily are able to gain jobs at a higher level and get a higher level of pay based on their skills. However, for the most part, people who have college degrees are said to have more common sense and are able to conceptualize and decipher biases better than someone who has not gone to college because this is something that those graduates have gone to great lengths in practicing. I mean, you having a college degree hasn't made you any smarter and it hasn't given you the ability to gain any common sense in the fact that you are basically a hypocrite and highly contradictory, but that is none of my business. I am not in the business of jipping my viewers like you are.

Well, lets take a look at some "educated voters" ***shows video of students at a University holding up signs, cursing Donald Trump and being an overall disturbance*** Attending college does not make one smarter, classier, or anything else... 

No sh*t Sherlock. You are the perfect example of why going to a University and getting college degree does NOT! Make a person smarter, classier, or anything else! Thank you for putting everyone's hypothesis to the test!

I'm really tired of those on the right and left talking down to Trump supporters like we're dumb dumbs. Some of us have degrees, some of us don't, most of us are hard working people that have built businesses, families, served our country, and followed the law. If you think that makes us any less than you, you are dead wrong. But it is not about Trump supporters versus Hillary supporters, thats over, that ended Tuesday night. President elect, Donald Trump has opened his arms to all Americans so it is up to you now. 

Well then Tomi, if you don't like it when people talk down to you like you are a dumb dumb, which sorry sister, you are a dumb dumb, then I suggest you ignore them. Or is being a millennial "snowflake" make you triggered when people speaks the obvious truth. You are right though, Donald Trump has won. I didn't vote for him, but I will accept him as my president, unfortunately, but he has not "opened his arms". From calling countless members of countless ethnicities names, making offensive gestures towards a reporter with disabilities, claiming that a war hero wasn't a war hero because he was captured, claiming that he was going to deport all illegal immigrants, claiming that he was going to ban all Muslims, and trying to silence the media by trying to take away their freedom of speech when they criticized him. To me, he did more to separate the country than any presidential candidate has ever done. So while I accept and respect the fact that he won the position of president it doesn't mean I or anyone else has to stop criticizing the negativities about his administration and/or policies when we see fit. It is our first amendment right to do so whether you like it or not.

No one is asking you to bow at his feet, but you're protests and "tantrums" aren't doing anything for this country. You have a right to do it, but you are just making fools of yourself, so that is just up to you.

Again, I don't agree with the violence, I don't agree with the threats, I don't agree with the messages of raping the next first lady or anything of the negative comments about his kids... Except for the ugly ones... Okay, okay, even the ugly ones. But to all of the people who are protesting peacefully and not causing problems, it is up to our president to listen to their concerns because they have real ones. Seeing as though he is installing a lot of suspect people into his cabinet, it is up to him to re-unite the country, not ours. We can try to act nicely and fairly to each other, but he has to do a lot more to change his reputation to become an ambassador of change in this country so that we don't go down the pipes and trash about fifteen to twenty years of progress. And while we are discussing people who act like fools for a living, Tomi, you have a lot of work to do in order to restore your own reputation as a hypocrite and someone who contradicts themselves in almost every way, I'll be praying for you Tomi!
