Meghan Markle will use the furore over her interview with Oprah to launch a political career which could take her all the way to the White House, if rumours circulating around Westminster last week turn out to be accurate. One senior Labour figure – a veteran of Tony Blair's Downing Street administration with strong links to Washington – claimed to The Mail on Sunday that Ms Markle, 39, was networking among senior Democrats with a view to building a campaign and fundraising teams for a tilt at the US Presidency. Last night, a source close to the Duchess of Sussex...

Michelle Obama reacts to Meghan Markle’s racism claims Former first lady Michelle Obama said it “wasn’t a complete surprise” to hear Meghan Markle detail alleged racism within the British royal family. Obama was asked about Markle and Prince Harry’s bombshell sit-down with Oprah Winfrey in an interview with NBC’s “TODAY” show that is scheduled to air Tuesday. Markle, 39, who is biracial, told Winfrey that someone in the royal family expressed “concerns” to Harry, 36, about “how dark” their son Archie’s skin would be. Co-host Jenna Bush Hager said it was “heartbreaking” to hear Markle describe the conversation, adding, “she...

For the uninitiated, a thin-skinned D-lister celebrity gave an interview to her billionaire talk show host friend about how austere aristocratic codes made her feel suffocated. This resulted in another talk show host, Piers Morgan, complaining on live television that there was a distinct possibility that the aforementioned celeb and her husband were perhaps full of it. Morgan’s exact phrase was that he “didn’t believe a word” of what Meghan Markle said. That bizarrely led to Meghan Markle complaining to the overarching supervisory media watchdog in Britain, which then led, nolens volens, to Morgan being fired. Enter Osbourne. Out of...

The Talk has canceled its two upcoming live shows after CBS launched a probe into Sharon Osbourne's bust up with Sheryl Underwood over Piers Morgan. It was revealed Sunday that the show will not air Monday or Tuesday. Wednesday's show is set to go ahead, Deadline reports. Journalist Elizabeth Vargas and singer Carly Pearce had both been scheduled to appear on the canceled shows. Osbourne had launched into a passionate defense of Morgan on Wednesday's The Talk, one day after she had also tweeted her support for him. Her resulting spat with co-host Underwood on the issue is now being...

French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has sparked outrage with a cartoon depiction of Queen Elizabeth kneeling on the neck of Meghan Markle, echoing the death of George Floyd.The controversial publication’s cartoon comes after the Duchess of Sussex, and her husband, Prince Harry, told US interviewer Oprah Winfrey of apparent racism within the royal family, though they did not criticise the Queen. But Markle said courtiers refused her permission to leave Kensington Palace on occasion and that she once only left twice in four months, leading her to experience severe loneliness and suicidal ideations.

The only people who really like Meghan are her left-wing pals in Hollywood and the corporate media. Diana was a populist princess, beloved by the people and the press.In Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s highly rated Oprah interview Sunday, the couple bitterly accused the British royal family of repulsive racism and avid jealousy. The couple slandered everyone, from accusing the royals of making comments about the skin tone of their son Archie, to claiming Duchess Kate made Markle cry before her wedding.Throughout the interview, Harry made comparisons between his wife Meghan and his mother, the late Princess Diana, widely known...

For a stark contrast to the silly fawning by much of the U.S. media over the Sunday night Oprah Winfrey interview starring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, look no further than Good Morning Britain host (and former CNN host) Piers Morgan. Morgan penned an acidulous takedown for the U.K. Daily Mail that even puts fury in the headline: "Meghan and Harry's nauseating two-hour Oprah whine-athon was a disgraceful diatribe of cynical race-baiting propaganda designed to damage the Queen as her husband lies in hospital - and destroy the Monarchy."

Buckingham Palace was under pressure to respond to allegations of racism within the highest echelons of the royal family following an interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that threatened to have a devastating effect on the reputation of the monarchy. In the most shocking disclosure, Harry and Meghan described how someone within the household had asked about how dark the skin tone of their baby son Archie would be – with the US chatshow host Oprah Winfrey clarifying later that neither the Queen nor the Duke of Edinburgh were behind the remark. But the couple’s refusal to identify...

CNN host Don Lemon says he wasn't surprised about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's claims of racism in the Royal family because the monarchy was 'built on a racist structure'. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a bombshell interview on Sunday night, in which they described how their decision to step down as Royals was fueled in part by racism within Harry's family. In one of the most remarkable segments, Meghan claimed that an unnamed relative had asked 'how dark' their unborn baby Archie would be.

On Sunday night, Meghan Markle made accusations of racism and heartlessness against the British royal family in an interview with Oprah Winfrey on CBS News. She said her life with the royal family left her suicidal. Independent journalist Megyn Kelly ripped Markle’s performance as “totally un-self-aware” and out of touch with most people who would love to live in a castle. “I just didn’t want to be alive anymore, and that was a very clear and real and frightening constant thought,” Markle told Oprah. “I went to the institution, and I said that I needed to go somewhere to get...

Welcome to the weekend. You currently sober drunk host with you again. I worked myself to exhaustion Friday night and crashed in bed rather than continue with normal activities including completion of the Newsdump Friday post. I had to draw the line. This week Charlotte Bennett said that Andrew Cuomo told her that he was "tired" and "lonely" and then went on to make other comments indicating his sexual intentions. "Tired" is not a good place to be and I made the right decision I apologize for the inconvenience to you all who read my blog and enjoy it and...

During a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, the 25-time Grammy-winner, 70, opened up about his future plans to live in Ghana indefinitely — as part of his efforts to shield his lineage of grandchildren and great grandchildren from racial injustice in the U.S. "I wanna see this nation smile again," he told Oprah, 67. "And I want to see it before I leave to travel to move to Ghana, because I'm going to do that." When asked if he plans to relocate permanently, the star replied, "I am, because I don't want to see my children's children's children have to...

Conducted by Whitman Insight Strategies...

In the current debate on racism there is one phrase that keeps popping up: “systemic racism.” Some people even claim that the situation facing African-Americans is much the same today as it has always been. The key question, however, is what effect do such messages have? People are discouraged when they hear: “If you don’t succeed, it’s racism’s or capitalism’s fault – and you really don’t stand a chance as long as the system hasn’t changed.” That is also not true. There are always examples of people who make it to the top. And we should focus far more of...

A host of celebrities are already backing her possible candidacy. "I want her to run for president," Meryl Streep said after Winfrey's speech. Rev. Jesse Jackson wrote Oprah "is eminently qualified to be President. She is a patriot, she has integrity ... she can raise our moral standing in the world." Her possible candidacy also received support from MSNBC's Joy Ann Reid, comedian Larry Wilmore, actor John Stamos, and singer/actress Janelle Monae. But even as Oprah is often portrayed as an unblemished American success story, she would bring to any political campaign significant baggage. Specifically, here are 12 skeletons in...

In response to a video in which Oprah Winfrey encourages white people to admit they are racist, radio legend Rush Limbaugh pummeled the popular black author and former television host. "This country is defined by people who came from nothing, like she did," Limbaugh said on his national broadcast Wednesday. "How in the world did she do it with so much white privilege and so much racism? Who in the world screwed up and let The Oprah become a billionaire? Which one of you white people made that mistake? Was it one of the King brothers who was her first...

This takes the cake. In the latest edition of her AppleTV+ series, “The Oprah Conversation,” the billionaire media tycoon lectured poor white people on their “white privilege.” The New York Post reported: Twitter critics have a billion-dollar bone to pick with Oprah Winfrey. The 66-year-old media mogul has been labeled a hypocritical “fraud” following the latest installment of her AppleTV+ series, “The Oprah Conversation,” featuring former NFL star and race activist Emmanuel Acho. Acho, 29, who also hosts the web series “Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man,” joined Winfrey for a two-part episode, which included a segment inviting non-black viewers...

"Hands Up Who Wants To Wear A Face Mask To Support The Government?".... The Dictatorship Should Be The Top Issue But You Are Being Distracted And Diverted Here we are in the Dictatorship of Covid-19 where the objective of politicians is to divert you onto something else like the Republican Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio rope a doping with Dr. Anthony Fauci yesterday not about being forced to wear a muzzle, being forced to don a face diaper. No, he wants Fauci to say something about protests spreading Covid-19 instead since there's more public opinion against these protests than against...

Following the horrific police killing of George Floyd, peaceful protests devolved into looting, riots, and arson. These riots, inspired by the idea that America is a fundamentally “institutionally racist” country and therefore needs to be uprooted, arguably echo The New York Times‘ “1619 Project,” which claims that America’s true founding came with the arrival of the first black slaves in 1619, rather than the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The project’s founder, Nikole Hannah-Jones, said (in a now-deleted tweet) that “it would be an honor” for the riots to be called “the 1619 riots.” Yet...
