HBO host Bill Maher and writer Bari Weiss received a somewhat-surprising rapturous round of applause from the mostly liberal audience during Friday’s show after they dropped truth-bomb after truth-bomb into the pool of dissonance that remains among blinkered leftists unable to think for themselves about COVID risks and see beyond the “I must zealously support anything and everything that Fauci or Biden say or I am a Trumper” mindset.
Ahead of the Friday night show, Maher told Deadline magazine that “I feel like COVID is still the dominate issue of our lives right now and it should not be anymore.”
“I’m over COVID,” Maher continued.
“I was never scared of it. I was always scared of the reaction to it, and as this has played out that only proved to be more true for me. I’m sure many people feel different, but that’s me. It was never that virulent a threat, I thought, to people who were in good health.”
The HBO host said the “vulnerable” should be protected, but the virus was mostly a disease that impacted the elderly and people who have comorbidities. He noted a stat from the CDC about how “78% of the people who died or went to the hospital were obese.”
“So, the fact that America, the medical establishment, never even attempted to get people to live a healthier lifestyle as a response to this pandemic is a giant scandal to me,” the host said explained.
“The people who didn’t do that have blood on their hands. There’s no other way to put it.”
But Maher was not done as he went after the incessant and blinkered vaccinate-or-die policy being mandated (via legislation, regulation, or moral pressure) on every man, woman, and child (and hamster) in America…
“I mean, we’re in a very different place with COVID than we were just when I was on the air last time, and that is the vaccines, we know, do not prevent you from either transmitting it or getting the disease,” Maher continued.
“They just prevent you from dying, which is a great part of it, let’s not undercount that. But if they don’t prevent you from transmitting it and they don’t prevent you from getting it why are we still treating this disease the way we always have? And what the fuck is the use of a booster shot? Because I will never get a booster shot.”
“They don’t know a lot about anything,” Maher responded when asked whether he thought:
“Dr. Anthony Fauci or the medical establishment really know what they are doing.”
And all of that was before the show.
Maher was joined by former NYT Editor Bari Weiss whose outspoken frankness and unafraid honesty has made her substack ‘Common Sense’ among the most-read.
The two dared to discuss the all-too-obvious absurdity of a two-tiered system that allows the “haves” to go to a restaurant and enjoy themselves unmasked while in the same space the help are masked and look like they are from the television program ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.’
“The Democrats are supposed to be the party of the little guy,” Weiss told Maher.
“You know what the Democrats are now comfortable with, or seemingly comfortable with? A two-tiered system in which the haves get to go into a restaurant, laugh with their friends for hours and the people serving them are masked and wearing gloves.
Or they get to walk, as AOC did, at the Met Gala while in the background the staff looked like they were in The Handmaid’s Tale. I mean, this is, this is a look that is unbelievably detrimental to them.“
“And jobs,” Maher chimed in.
“The people with the ‘consulting’ jobs or whatever bullshit they do, they get to stay at home and order the food out and do shit by Zoom. It is the working class people that are breathing in their shitty, stale air all day.”
“That is going to create a class resentment,” Maher continued.
“It looks the liberals are always suggesting sacrifices they themselves don’t have to take part in.”
Weiss concluded by clarifying what many who look asconce at the ongoing ’emergency’ COVID measures think: “…this is going to be remembered by the younger generation as a catastrophic moral crime,” noting the huge surge in self-harm and suicides that the loneliness and isolation of these abusive authoritarian policies has created.
Given the rousing round of applause after this carpet-bombing of truth, we suspect the country is quietly growing tired of the repeated message from on-high and the leftist-state restrictions that two years in have been proved (and in many cases shown specifically by CDC data) to be utterly useless.

Well guys – you can say that again – I have nothing to offer except:
June 4, 1940 – Churchill’s: ‘We shall fight on the beaches speech’ is a eulogy to the British war effort that has been immortalised in popular memory of the Second World War. We had our backs to the wall with little hope of victory, yet under our esteemed leader, we fought on against all the odds, and with the help and support of the mighty American industrial complex, we won through – as we will today.
We are winning but we have not yet won. All strength to those brave souls who have spoken out with courage and total disregard of their own personel risk – to you all, I salute you.
But can it also be a war cry for all the brave souls who are fighting today? 80 years later (Fourth Turning anyone?). Let us remember those rousing words:
“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, …….”
Some history for context:
“The first weeks of Churchill’s Prime Ministership were clouded by the fall of France and the surrender of the Belgian Army, with repercussions for the Western alliance. To delay the German advance towards Britain, Churchill ordered expeditionary forces to retreat towards the port of Dunkirk to allow an Allied evacuation that lasted for nine days. In this dispatch to Parliament, Churchill’s descriptions of events were more akin to a war reporter than a political statesman as he explained in great detail to his fellow members the bravery and ingenuity of the British forces in the face of the German war machine. Despite the success of the operation there was still a loss of over 30,000 men and vast amounts of materiel. Yet in the face of such adversity and sacrifice Churchill still used this platform to make a rallying cry to not just his fellow countrymen but also the beleaguered French when he stated, ‘We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, We shall never surrender’.”
Oh, for a leader today who can rally the troops against all the odds – I live in hope!
But, as now, all is not what it seems to be:
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/winston-churchills-historic-fight-them-beaches-speech-wasnt-heard-public-until-after-wwii-180967278/
Whatever the truth really is – it’s enough to raise a drink in the pub!
I always thought that Churchill was another hero type figure until I read multiple exposes on him that he was just another deep state/NWO operative doing his part in the early phases to bring us to where we are today.
In 1915, he was part of the Admiralty (I don’t remember the title but, he had charge over it) and when news of sinking cargo ships was beginning to make a lot of news. America was not in the war yet but, as in WWII, they needed the help of America. So, instead of providing destroyer escorts for the Lusitania, he and the Admiralty ignored reports of U-boats patrolling the area and allowed it to be ‘bait’ for the German war machine. It was sunk just 8 miles off of the Ireland coast with almost 200 American men, women, and children — including Alfred Vanderbilt. It was that sinking and some other actions that brought the US into the war with the Kaiser.
Yes all correct Brewer55. It is rumoured that she was carrying war materiel anyway just to be sure. This is standard false flag, or bait as you say, for political ends. IMHO this doesn’t change what Winston did in 1940 as Britain stood alone against Germany with impossible odds. Without America’s inputs I am sure we would have been defeated and under the jackboot of the Third Reich. In which case, history would have been very different for me, at least in the 1950/60s which was a fine time for me.
However, the Nazis never went away and I recommend these two books for an understanding of my stance on the subject:
The EU is a product of the merging of the Teutonic elite, with Germany in command. Von Leyen, at the head of the European Commission, has total control with her cronies (they are all WEF Globalists). They have a pseudo-parliament which has never rejected any of the dictates/laws put before them by this ineffectual body – it is sham democracy like all the rest. It keeps the sheeple believing that they have control though voting which is merely a palliative.
This is why UK left Europe, but only after an immense battle over four years with the Remainers – the elite were horrified by the referendum result and tried every trick in the book to block the parliamentary process – but Boris won through in the end by sheer determination – good on him – notwithstanding his multiple faults which are likely to hang him in short order.
I am sure that the current PartyGate fiasco has been engineered by the rump of the disaffected Remainers and Globalists like that criminal, Tony Blair, knighted for his crimes – says it all doesn’t it? He should be in jail. Also notice that a Muslim ex-minister has suddenly revealed damning accusations at the government, of islamophobia after 2 years? What, why wait this long? She has been ‘encouraged’ to add fuel to the fire.

In my book, Chapter 6 describes how Britain was secretly induced into, what was then, The Common Market, by yet again a criminal Globalist, Ted Heath. I reveal secret government documents proving my assertions. The EU is well on the way to a Federation with all the dysfunction being witnessed in America today.
In Oz, Purebloods can’t go to the pub. I thought that would be the straw, but alas…
And just a reminder that Churchill admitted to slaughtering the wrong pig.

My good friend, Gerry, in Bisbane tells me by email yesterday that he believes Morrison and gang (yet more Globalists) have taken over the asylum. What little democracy you had is no more. He is a medical doctor with 35 years experience, we talk regularly on Skype.

Good luck down under – it can’t last – you will get them out in the end as is happening in UK thanks to Boris, which is why the Globalists are hounding him. “It’s a big club and you ain’t in it”
Although it’s good to see (some) leftists finally opening their eyes, how can we ever forget is was they who brought this on all of us? We can’t just “get on with life and live with covid.” There has to be a reckoning. Severe punishment for everyone that foisted the draconian policies on us. Decision makers who set policies or willingly went along with them must be fired; the seniors ones should face trial for crimes against humanity. We’ll never forget what they did to us, and there must be a hell of a lot of punishment before we can forgive.
They have the blood of millions on their hands. Not just deaths, but permanent maimings, serial child abuse and psychological torture. Anyone that took an Oath, needs to PROVE they stood-up and resisted, else they are guilty.
Geeze, all they had to do was visit The Burning Platform. Collectively, we had all of this shit figured out 20 months ago.
1) “It’s the flu bro.”
2) “It’s an IQ test.”
3) “G.R.E.E.D”
4) “It’s TLPTB”
5) add here it you like.
The powers that want to be. They only have power if we let them.
Sleazeballs edging towards the exits.
No coverage or comment on today’s freedom march in DC? The march for no more unconstitutional health mandates currently dividing Americans? -It was simultaneously celebrated in many cities and yet censored worldwide.
<– this isn't a link to it.
I noticed he is not censored.
Yeah, these fucking liberal whores are so brave all the sudden now that the narrative is breaking down…..where were these dregs a year ago when EVERYONE knew this shit.
I fucken hate liberals.
Liberalism is a disease. These two ass-hats are highly infected. Fuck them both!
You’re going to see the Bill Maher style denials a lot. When Weiss says “we all went along with it” Maher interrupts her to wag his finger and say- “Not everyone, not everyone.”
He was one of the media figures that promoted this hoax from day one ridiculing anyone who challenged it until it became too much for him, now he pretends he stood up against The Narrative from the get go, shamelessly.
Not saying it isn’t a relief to see the acolytes fall away, just that they shouldn’t be trusted, nor listened to. There’s a motivation behind their every action at that level and without contrition, honesty cannot be assumed.
His ratings must be as low as CNN’s.
And who said hubris and lying don’t go hand in hand! Maher is like a clock, correct every so often. Otherwise, he is a nasty liberal who likes to flaunt his “intellect” around.
“the leftist-state restrictions that two years in have been proved (and in many cases shown specifically by CDC data) to be utterly useless.”
Not only useless but detrimental to health and sanity.
Will Maher be cancelled by his own people.
It hasn’t happened yet, so I don’t see him getting cancelled.
