Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Giving advice like this is why she had to take a job at a third-rate cable outlet. – MSNBC’s pet fake conservative host Nicolle Wallace told Chris Matthews on “Hardball” yesterday that she advised Jeb Bush to physically attack Donald Trump after their first debate.: “I told Jeb Bush after that debate that I thought he should have punched [Trump] in the face.” The demented Wallace said that doing so would have made Jeb! a hero. All of which explains why Nicolle Wallace can’t get a job as a political advisor anymore.
“Everybody mount up! We got us a runaway!”: It is truly sad and astonishing how viciously the Democrats and their media toadies invariably go after any African American who strays from their leftist plantation. Astonishing and disgusting and yes, sad. It happens every time.
From Clarence Thomas to J.C. Watt to Herman Cain to Ben Carson to Tim Scott to Candace Owens, with many others in between, the playbook is always the same. They’ve even done it to the great Jim Brown, one of the pioneers of the civil rights movement and a symbol of “Black Power” for half a century, for simply saying he doesn’t think kneeling in protest of the national anthem and American flag is appropriate.
Now comes Kanye West, one of the most successful Black music artists and businessmen of this or any generation, a man who just 13 years ago was hailed as a hero by these very same people when, on national television, he said “George Bush hates black people.” Kanye was a hero again when he stole the mic from a teenage Taylor Swift at the MTV Music Awards show so he could take off on a rant about how Beyonce’ should have won the award for best video instead.
Kanye’s always been a little off-the-wall and more than a little “out there”, prone to going off on somewhat bizarre and disjointed tirades in public settings and speaking his mind far more bluntly than polite society thought was, well, appropriate, don’t you know. But as long as Kanye was sticking with the approved Democrat/media narrative that George W. Bush was a racist or Tay-Tay was just a privileged white girl stealing an award from a more deserving Black woman, Kanye was, like, totally awesome. He wasn’t cray-cray, he was just Kanye bein’ Kanye.
But yesterday, Kanye goes to the White House wearing a red MAGA cap, hugs President Donald Trump and goes off on a terrific rant about how Trump’s pro-America, anti-Obama policies are in fact incredibly empowering for African Americans, and suddenly you see the leftist keepers of the Democrat talking points on MSNBC and CNN calling him “crazy,” a “house-negro”, an “embarrassment”, an “uncle Tom”, and even worse. One fake “conservative” host on MSNBC accused him of having “mental problems” and the President of being “willing to exploit them.” Interestingly, most of these things were said by white people, who, if they said exactly the same things about any Democrat black person would immediately be accused of being racists.
This week’s radical shifting of celebrity roles in our fake news media must have non-ideological African Americans suffering from whiplash. Just a few weeks ago, the Democrats/media Axis of Propaganda’s narrative told them that Tay-Tay was the privileged little white girl who is still holding Beyonce’s trophy hostage, and Kanye was a symbol of Black empowerment. Today, they’re supposed to now worship Tay-Tay because she endorsed a certain Democrat loser in Tennessee, and they’re supposed to hate Kanye’ for hugging a President.
Just a guess, but it seems likely that the millions of African Americans who now have jobs after collecting unemployment for 8 years under Barack Obama probably don’t much care what a bunch of mainly-white talking heads at MSNBC and CNN are saying about Kanye West.
And speaking of Tay-Tay… – Man, has it been a bad week for Taylor Swift, or what? Sunday night, the pop singer finally broke her political silence, endorsing Democrat Phil Bredesen in his race for the U.S. Senate against Republican Marsha Blackburn.
At the time Tay-Tay jumped off the political cliff, the most recent polls indicated this was a very tight race. But when the New York Times decided to do a live poll of the race two days later, it showed Blackburn with a huge 18 point lead. Two additional polls issued this week also show Blackburn’s lead in the mid-teens.
Swift’s jump into politics was conveniently timed to coincide with her hosting the American Music Awards program Tuesday night, and organizers of the event were hopeful that the star could bring in yuuuuuge ratings. Nope. Tay-Tay’s gig was in fact the lowest-rated AMA show in history.
Combine that with the certainty that her ill-advised leap into leftist politics will no doubt result in a steep drop in her future music sales, and this has been the week from hell for poor Tay-Tay. But hey, she has S.E. Cupp, Nicolle Wallace and the rest of the depraved nitwits who serve their Democrat masters on MSNBC on her side, so she’s got that going for her.
It isn’t much.
That is all.

Swift’s agent needs to counsel her on her political choices. She’s backing a real scumbag. Bad move.
excellent read
Many years ago I threw out all of my Barbra Streisand albums for this kind of nonsense. Now I can make a stronger statement.
To wit, I have a Pink channel on pandora that connects me to a LOT of Taylor Swift songs. They all have a thumbs up and cycle through quite a bit. I listen to it at work while producing documentation.
I have it on now. Every time a Tay-Tay song comes on I give it a thumbs down. Pandora tracks this stuff. I suspect I’m not the only one.
“Swift’s agent needs to counsel her on her political choices. She’s backing a real scumbag. Bad move.”
Taylor should be mindful of the Dixie Chicks political experience....
Or the agent gave her the bad advice?
Who remembers the Dixie Chicks today? Mention them and most people have to Google them, to even learn of their fate.
The Dixie Chicks are only now making their long way back, after years in exile.
Taylor Swift might take a lesson from the example set by Natalie Maines, who trod all over the sensibilities of the Nashville music scene, and sent the trio into a downward spiral that saw virtually ALL their music disappear from the air play rotations.
Talk about monolithic lack of diversity, between her, Arianna Grande, Katy Perry, Madonna, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga - they are ALL your typical uninformed Hollywood Liberal who think we give a crap who they vote for. They all think they are loved because they can change the world and visualize whirled peas - really stupid, perhaps talented musicians, but really stupid.
Maybe this is the real Taylor Swift, and the sweet thing that was marketed was the act. That would explain a lot.
I think Kanye is God’s gift to a hurting country. I love that boy! He is real and has a really big heart.
Kanye’s stock went up and Swift Taylor’s tanked.
What about Gloria Estefan and her infatuation with the Kenyan?
