I have shared with you how I enjoy coming out here in the evening to clear my mind. This visit is a bit different, this time it is to get something off my chest to ease my mind. The other reason for The Porch is that I try hard to keep The Pew clear of divisive topics, staying with sharing the gospel only. But here on the Porch I can vent a little.  

The View

“Created in 1997 by veteran journalist Barbara Walters, “The View” is a daytime talk show hosted by women — including Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro — and each offers her take on the day’s news during the opening “Hot Topics” segment. Later, the ladies welcome various celebrities, who join them in a chat or perform for the audience. The program also offers tips on beauty, fashion, diet and relationships. Known for their freewheeling style, the hosts are often lampooned in late-night sketches. (ABC)”

In earlier times it was a nice mid-morning break. The folks on the show were pleasant enough and the topics interesting. For the past few years its producers, writers and hosts have been carrying water for The Democratic National Party. The topics for the most part are still interesting, but agenda driven. There are no discussions, just verbal warfare. To disagree with Whoopi or Joy, oh let me interject… Joy, she has got to be one of the most   unhappy individuals in the world and the least informed. Now to be fair Whoopi does a better job because she has the facts but has the skill to get around them. I don’t know what Joy was known for before the “View” came along but Whoopi was a great actress and I enjoy her movies even now. What drew me to this ponder this week was a segment on a recent “View”. My whole point of sharing this on the “Porch” was the subject itself being how difficult it is to buy a house in today’s market. In a recent article in the New York Post, Kelly Jane Torrance, wrote this… 

“The View’ is the biggest source of misinformation in America”. 

The truth is that buying a home is difficult for a large portion of the population. Consider this…it is in a way unfair to pick on “The View” because it is really just a mirror of what we have become in the USA. Facts, reason, civil discourse and truth are not present at the table anymore. They are not completely dead yet but are in an anemic state and their daily diet of mainstream news, social justice warriors along with political activists and the major network programing are feeding this condition. Hate, fear and misinformation add strength to the chaos and decay of society at large. I might add God is not at the table either. By the way there is a book that tells you how all this is going to end…It is called the Bible.
