Here are the latest posts, hot off the presses
Off the coast of China with no Internet? NO PROBLEM!
Get out the Kleenex box: it’s going to be real tear-jerker.
Harris’ on-the-record opinion is not a very pretty one.
Keep the SONIC; lose the BOOM.
Bill Whittle, Scott Ott and Steve Green bring you three different perspectives on three of the week’s top stories, with penetrating analysis, assorted-grade humor, and just a pinch of artisanally-selected, steel-cut snark; plus, an informal, wide-ranging, hour-long Member’s Only Backstage show: every week, without fail, since 2014.
I don’t think a day goes by without me seeing something genuinely wondrous on the internet, and so I finally decided that I would have to share them with as many people as I could. No politics here: just the weird and the wonderful without the slightest order or method. Just sit back and enjoy.
She was called ‘The Most Beautiful Woman that Ever Lived.’ They may have been right.
Another classic from the brilliant Mitchell and Webb Look
THINGS TO COME will be Bill’s next signature series. In their book, The Fourth Turning, historians William Strauss and Neil Howe provide compelling evidence that historical cycles have repeated themselves throughout history. Bill Whittle uses this theory to try to see an outline of the coming crisis.
The book, The Fourth Turning, describes an eighty-year cycle for historical events. Is this cycle real, and if so, what can we learn from it?
Assuming The Forth Turning’s theory is correct, Bill Whittle tries to predict what form the upcoming crisis will take.
In this third installment, host Bil Whittle looks at the most obvious of the Three Fronts: America’s decaying cities.
The second of the Three Fronts will be more dispersed than The Cities, but will hold many of the same challenges, namely lawlessness, violence and genuine heartache.
From Genesis to the Green Lantern, we humans have learned all of our moral values from the stories we tell to one another. In this brand-new series, host Bill Whittle will be having in-depth discussions with the mechanics that build our stories, as well as discussing the mechanics of how a good story is built. Confirmed so far are Jon Voight, Gary Sinise, Mike Rowe, Tom Dreesen, Adam Baldwin, Burt Rutan, Dick Rutan and Kelly Carlson, with more to follow. While we will release snippets from each episode, in the main this will be Members-Only content for the Citizen Producers here at BillWhittle.com.
MAJOR MACE MATTINGLY and the Last Men on the Moon will be Bill’s irreverent look at the politics of today by viewing 2024 America through the eyes of four Steely-Eyed Missile Men who have been on a Top Secret US Military Moonbase since 1966! Rendered in the Unreal 5 game engine, this CGI series will be visual knockout as well as a heck of a lot of fun.

Sick to death of politics? ME TOO. That’s why we launched The Stratosphere Studio: entertainment, filmmaking, computer animation and pop-culture questions only, please.

Distributed Intelligence is such a difficult thing for elitists to understand… not so much intellectually as emotionally.
