Unflinching Perspectives: From Celebrity Obsessions to Teenage Killers
Have you ever wondered what happens when online critics attack your creative work? Today's candid morning musings explore my decision to disconnect from YouTube after facing harsh criticism from a commenter who called my podcast "garbage" with "lazy and ineffectual" ideas. This revealing look at handling online negativity sets the stage for a wide-ranging commentary covering memorable stories that deserve attention.
The conversation shifts to celebrity culture's disturbing fascination with convicted killers, specifically examining Rosie O'Donnell's shocking statement about Lyle Menendez being "the only white guy she can love and trust." I dive into why this romanticization of the Menendez brothers' crimes is deeply troubling, especially when their claims of self-defense fall apart under scrutiny. Their cold-blooded murder of parents watching television deserves no sympathy, regardless of celebrity endorsement.
Most concerning is the underreported story of a 17-year-old Wisconsin teenager who murdered his parents, lived with their bodies for 12 days, then fled with the intention of assassinating former President Trump. Why isn't this frightening case receiving mainstream television coverage? The teen's connections to extremist ideologies raise urgent questions about youth radicalization and selective media attention. I close with reflections on childhood memories of spring cleaning and an invitation for listeners to share their own experiences with this seasonal ritual.

Hello, good morning. Happy birthday to my grand cam, who is three years old. Also, congratulations to Rory McIlroy for winning his first Masters. That guy has been chasing that green jacket for a while Finally got it. Didn't think he was gonna when he came out strong. The first couple days I thought he's done this before and has lost the lead. But he came through and did it, yay, even though he's not an American. That's all right. Congratulations, Rory. All right. So, um, I think I'm going to share something with you and then I'll get onto the couple of stories I wanted to talk about.
Speaker 1:I disconnected my podcast from my YouTube channel. Now, I really shouldn't even have connected it in the first place, and when I did it, I did it, I had a feeling it. I really shouldn't even have connected it in the first place, and when I did it, I did it, I had a feeling. I was like don't do this, carol, it's stupid, because podcasting is for audio, youtube is for video and I don't know why people were connecting their audio podcast to YouTube and then still calling it a podcast on YouTube. If it's on YouTube, it's not a podcast, it's a video. I'm just, I know, nitpicky, nitpicky. So I disconnected it I wanted. I've been thinking about disconnecting it for a while. Like I said, I shouldn't even connect it in the first place, but then I started seeing, well, I got some views, views or not views. I got some listeners over there, and I do have one lady over there. I'm gonna have to contact her and say I don't, I'm not on YouTube anymore, because she does listen to YouTube and commented anyway.
Speaker 1:There was another commenter that finally decided to chime in I guess I think he only listened probably one time, going by the name of Kenny Huber obviously not his real name gave me some criticism. He came at me and said you know, obviously you're recording from your phone. You sound like crap. You need to get blah, blah, blah. People like you, blah, blah, blah. I'm like there's a free LinkedIn podcasting tutorial blah, blah, blah. And I said look, if you don't like it, don't listen, move on. And he came back again and said no, people like you need to be criticized. Blah, blah, blah. And so, uh, I'm not on YouTube anymore. And I thought you know, wait till he gets a load of me recording in my car. Why do people have to do that? Let me go see if I can actually find the comment and I'll read it to you. Let's see. Let's see if I can find it. Oh, first he says rambling into a mic does not equal a podcast. Well, if you're listening on YouTube, you're not listening to podcasts. And then I said so move on and don't listen. And then he replied back no people in your media sphere deserve to be criticized, not only because your production quality is awful, but because your ideas are lazy and ineffectual. All you did was basically read Drudge Report the entire time, except for when you want to add a word or two of your own color commentary that was otherwise dull and lackluster. Linkedin has a great free podcasting course that I recommend you take. Lastly, you'll probably want to get a USB microphone rather than recording into your phone. It sounds like garbage. So this guy either probably knows me or something, like Mr Sean said, probably somebody I know more than likely who knows that I do this. Whatever, ken Kenny Huber and I wasn't reading from the Drudge Report and I know I've said that before on my podcast before I've said look, I know I'm reading directly from these things, but that's why it was called Carol Remarks. Anyway, I gave this guy too much time on my podcast. We're going to move on.
Speaker 1:There's two stories. I wrote one for the Victory Girls blog and then I wrote one for myself and Americanist. The first one on the Victory Girls blog is about Rosie O'Donnell. She had a big old feature in New York Post how she, how Lyle Menendez, is probably the only white guy she can love and trust. What in the world? What is going on with these comedians? There was another comedian, whoopi Goldberg, who's been criticizing the People who they needed to pay your taxes. And now we've got the lefty liberal lesbian who thinks she's in love with a cold hearted killer. I guess she befriended him somehow on while he was in prison. She went on Larry King at one time or another and said she understands his pain, you know, being a victim of abuse herself. Well, did you go kill the person that abused you, rosie? No, you did not. Why? Why did you not do that? Because you're not a cold-hearted killer. But yet she's somehow excusing lyle menendez as, uh, his, his actions.
Speaker 1:And these two kids I say kids, they're grown-ass men now in prison, 30 something years prison because they're coming up for maybe some resentencing from the liberal Gascon over there. But they said that they killed their parents in self-defense. That is total BS. Their parents were watching television in their den when all of a sudden, the two boys came in and shot them up with their shotguns. This is not self-defense, hello. It's not even heat of the passion or whatever that's called. It's not even that. No, cold-hearted killers. They need to stay their ass in prison Period. Uh-uh. No sympathy from me, trust me, for someone who knows about stuff like that. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:All right, moving on to the next thing I wanted to talk about was which is on my blog. At an Americanist I wrote last night and it's, it's on the internet news, but you're not going to see it on the visual news on tv, on on Fox and Friends or anything like that or Fox News. I have not seen it on any kind of conservative news yet. But back in February there's a 17-year-old teenager in Wisconsin that killed his parents, then stayed in the house for 12 days with the dead bodies and I guess he got some money from them safe from the. And I guess he got some money from them safe from the safe and he got some money from them. He brought, you know, killed them, took their money it was his mom and stepdad and then took off in the stepdad's car because he wanted to start a revolution by assassinating Donald Trump. He had a plot he bought a drone and some explosives, I guess, and was going to go kill the president and start a revolution.
Speaker 1:How come we are not listening? How come we don't hear about this yet? Like I said, it's on the Internet news. The BBC covered it, abc covered it, the Post Millennial has covered it online. Why are we not talking about this?
Speaker 1:And I also want to know what is happening to our young boys Now. He's 17 years old and he's connected to a satanic cult, white supremacy, neo-nazi stuff going on. He's 17. How did he get indoctrinate indoctrinate, I can't even say the word indoctrinated into this kind of thing? Think back when your kids were that age or even younger. How you know, at a boy, maybe 11, 12, 13 years old, he's out playing ball, t-ball, baseball, whatever. And I mean, how do you go from such an innocence? Because I have a son, I think back when he was those age, before he was 17, when he was younger. How do you? That takes years. I think of indoctrination and thinking that way. Now I know there's the dark web and the internet, but I mean, but then again, murdering has been going on since Cain and Abel, so it's not, and Cain and Abel didn't have video games and the internet back then either. It's just a dark heart, I don't know. All right, shoot. I don't want to really want to end on that note because it's kind of. They have him in custody, thankfully.
Speaker 1:I just don't understand it. I don't understand it. Maybe, if you understand it, I don't understand it. Maybe, if you understand it, you can let me know. All right, I need to do a question of the day.
Speaker 1:Okay, I have a question for you regarding spring. Do you guys, do you do your? Do you do spring cleaning? I remember as a teenager, my God, I hated it. We used to have to do spring cleaning on the weekends. You know, I hated it. I mean moved everything, moved the couch, took the curtains down, I mean the window, it all, everything. I hated it. So I know I probably need to do it here at our house, but I haven't. But so do you guys do a spring cleaning?
Speaker 1:Now, what I will do is I will go through my clothes, stuff like that, and take things out and give them to good will that I don't wear anymore that kind of thing, but I need to do some spring cleaning. I just I feel like I work all week and I really don't on my weekends. I want to relax, and maybe that has something to do with my childhood too, that we have to we used to have to do it on the weekends and clean and everything. I just don't want to do it. Oh, maybe I'll hire somebody to come in and do it. My husband takes really good care of the house as it is anyway right now, since he is retired. All right, I gotta go. One more word for Kenny Huber Go get him Tiger, go out there and go get him. All right, I gotta go. Thank y'all for listening. Love ya, bye.
