Kanye West Is Forcing Liberals To Check Their Artistic Privilege  

"The rapper has always been crass and annoying. But now he's the "wrong kind" of crass and annoying."

"Of all the weird fallout that’s come from Kanye West announcing his love for Donald Trump on Twitter, the reaction that perplexes me the most is the idea that sudden knowledge of his political opinions has rendered his music bad. Here’s a tweet from Democratic activist Scott Dworkin that’s pretty representative of the general sentiment:

"I will never buy another @kanyewest album ever again. I think this publicity stunt of his support for Trump is downright despicable. Kanye can go to hell.— Scott Dworkin (@funder) April 26, 2018" . . .

"Based on those tests and their observations, they concluded that he was severely brain damaged and that his condition was unrecoverable. They also concluded that his extensive loss of brain tissue was caused by an earlier hypoxic-ischemic brain injury caused by the cessation or severe reduction of blood flow to the brain" . . .

Declassified Congressional Report: James Clapper Lied About Dossier Leaks To CNN   The Federalist, via Lucianne;

Original Article     "Buried within a newly declassified congressional report on Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections is a shocking revelation: former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper not only leaked information about the infamous Steele dossier and high-level government briefings about it to CNN, he also may have lied to Congress about the matter. In one of the findings within the 253-page report, the House intelligence committee wrote that Clapper leaked details of a dossier briefing given to then-President-elect Donald Trump to CNN’s Jake Tapper, lied to Congress about the leak, and was rewarded with a CNN contract a few months." Apparently Brokaw did not sexually harrass Rachael Maddow, Andrea Mitchell, Maria Shriver and Kelly O’Donnell Brokaw Fallout: #MeToo Morphs From “Believe the Accusers” to “Believe the Famous Women Trashing the Accusers” . . . "The question now is what happens to the #MeToo movement?  If we can’t believe Brokaw’s two accusers, whom can we believe?  Just those public figures the progressive media and its allies write letters to defend?  Is #MeToo dead?  Is #MeToo entering a new phase in which the warlock hunt can be mitigated by sufficient testimony by (leftist) colleagues who don’t address the accusations at all?  And who don’t explain why they are ignoring the accusers?  Isn’t that the problem many of these very women touted as the breeding ground for covering up inappropriate sexual behavior?" . . . Kennedy Lied, People Died and were Enslaved—and the Media Covered it Up (the Sequel)  . . . "Alas! Now we’re back in traditional media/Hollywood Kennedy hagiography mode. I refer to this week’s Netflix’s release of “Bobby Kennedy for President.” This documentary by leftist director and Kennedy adoring fan Dawn Porter features interviews with leftists and adoring Kennedy fans Rep. John Lewis, Dolores Huerta and Harry Belafonte—speaking of whom:  “If you believe in justice! If you believe in democracy! If you believe in people's rights! if you believe in the harmony of all humankind—then you have no choice but to back Fidel Castro as long as it takes!”(An exultant Harry Belafonte in Havana while hob-knobbing with the mass-murdering, warmongering racist whose apartheid regime jailed and tortured the longest suffering black political prisoners in modern history.)" . . . No, Criticizing Trump Is Not the Ticket to Fame and Fortune  "Yesterday, several writers were fired from RedState. All of them were fierce Trump critics. While some Trump critics remain at the site, no Trump supporters were fired. "A common reaction to this news goes like this: No problem! Trump haters can get a job anywhere they want! They can just go to ABC, NBC, CBS, NYT, WaPo, LAT, CNN, or any number of other places! The claim is made that opposing Trump is somehow a resume enhancer."

"As a little bonus, we get to see Shiela’s contempt for the Chair when she explicitly ignores his instructions that her time has expired, and she keeps asking questions anyway.
