Remember those doomsday predictions about human population numbers spelling the end for civilization as we know it?
It’s starting to look like they were right for the wrong reason: the world is facing not a baby boom but a planet-wide baby bust, the dire consequences of which are only now beginning to become apparent. The “Right Angle” crew of Scott Ott, Bill Whittle and Stephen Green share their thoughts.
Stephen Green says Big Tech and the Biden White House are just two separate ends of the same data cable. If the White House discovers something it doesn’t think fits the narrative, a polite phone call is made and the offending book or article simply disappears.
None dare call it government censorship, but that’s exactly what it is and it is endemic. Green and “Right Angle” colleagues Bill Whittle and Scott tackle the issue.
Attention college and university students: You’re graduation has been cancelled!
Scott Ott reports that this is the unfortunate scenario across the country, as universities are following the lead of Columbia University, which became first to cancel graduation because of the concern for protests and violence at the ceremonies regarding the conflict in Gaza.
Ott is joined by fellow “Right Angle” members Bill Whittle and Stephen Green to share their thoughts on the turn of events.
The first manned spaceflight of Boeing’s Starliner capsule last week was scrubbed due to a defective valve. But Bill Whittle says that looking at it on the launching pad, it’s hard to avoid getting a distinctly 20th-century vibe.
The SpaceX Dragon capsule, meanwhile, looks like it’s from the future. So the question isn’t whether or not the Strainer will succeed, the question is whether or not it deserves to succeed. “Right Angle” colleagues Scott Ott and Stephen Green join Whittle to debate the issue.
The University of Florida, Bill Whittle’s alma mater, has taken a decidedly anti-Columbia stance toward the wave of campus unrest spreading across the nation–a move that has Whittle dancing in the streets!
The university issued a clearly-worded memorandum of what will and will not be tolerated, and best of all–mirabile dictu! (wonderful to relate)–it has real teeth when it comes to enforcement. Students violating the dictum will be hit with a three-year suspension, professors will be immediately terminated.
Who knew restoring order could be so easy. Whittle is joined by his “Right Angle” colleagues, Scott Ott and Stephen Green, to share their thoughts.
All people of conscience can agree that legally discriminating against someone based on their skin color is morally wrong. That’s why it’s against the law.
But what about private discrimination? For example, does a 501(c)(3) have a right to distribute private donations based on race? Scott Ott provides the details and his “Right Angle” colleagues–Bill Whittle and Stephen Green–debate on whether it comes down to personal preference or illegal discrimination.
Scott Ott reports that schools are intent on getting rid of student cell phones. Guess who’s stopping that, and it’s not the students.
For many of us old-timers, the idea of students on cell phones in the middle of class is nearly unthinkable. It’s not surprising that when a school recently tried the idea of banning cell phones from class it caused an uproar. But shockingly, the protess didn’t come from students, but from their parents! Ott and his “Right Angle” teammates, Bill Whittle and Stephen Green, have the details.
Confusing the far side of the moon with its dark side is the most elementary mistake a Junior Space Cadet can make, primarily because there is no such thing as the dark side of the moon!
Stephen Green, however, reports that NASA administrator Bill Nelson recently made this fundamental mistake and, moments later, elaborated on why NASA has no plans to explore the dark side of the moon. His primary reason: It’s dark all the time! Green joins fellow “Right Angle” colleagues Bill Whittle and Scott Ott to discuss the conundrum.
In The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien bestowed the name “Anduril” on the sword of Aragorn in his fight against darkness and evil.
Tolkien wrote that “Anduril” can be translated from Elvish as “The Flame of the West.” Bill Whittle says It’s no coincidence that a new, start-up defense company also calls itself Anduril. But as Whittle points out, the real Flame of the West is much deeper and more profound than mere weaponry.
Whittle and his “Right Angle” colleagues, Scott Ott and Stephen Green, explain further.
Stephen Green says dealing with the IRS has been a catastrophe for decades–an ocean of red tape consuming three cities worth of man-hours to comply with.
Green’s solution: Chuck it into the ocean and replace it with the elegant, morally sound, eminently-fair “100/10/o plan.” Green and his “Right Angle” colleagues, Bill Whittle and Scott Ott, explain further.
