Bill Maher Hilariously Calls Out Woke White Liberals By Suggesting A ‘Honky Tax’

Somehow this brings Beto O'Rourke to mind. (Language advisory)

RedState  "Bill Maher is often hit or miss with his comedy and his social analysis, and he’s almost never what one would call conservative in his approach. But in a recent closing segment from his show, he took a pretty nice blowtorch to the ridiculousness of white liberals being embarrassed and constantly obsequiously apologizing for the color of their skin.

"Before going any further, know that there’s some pretty strong language in this bit. But it’s also pretty funny, so watching it is encouraged. Especially if you or any of your friends are, or even if you just know,  white people who, as Maher says, “bore the *$^# out of black people at parties” with their apologies for white privilege.

"Maher starts the bit using Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang’s refusal to be offended by Shane Gillis’ old podcast jokes that got the comedian booted from Saturday Night Live’s cast almost immediately after being hired.

“ 'Because if he wasn’t offended, well…someone had to be,” Maher says, before talking about the “weird self-loathing” and “tedious virtue signaling” of white liberals. He calls out actress Rosanna Arquette for saying she was disgusted and ashamed of being white on Twitter.

“ 'You think it’s hard being a black man in a white man’s world? Try being a white woman who feels bad about you being a black man in white man’s world,” Maher quips." 

"But perhaps the best part is when he says the constant flagellating puts the burden on black people to absolve white liberals for their whiteness.

“ 'It’s really asking black people to, again, do something for you. Forgive me. Absolve me. Recognize that I’m one of the good white people,” Maher says. “Jesus, haven’t black people suffered enough?”

“ 'How many white liberals would pay actual reparations…real money taken out of their paychecks? If being white is really this toxic for society, let’s tax it,” Maher says. “Let’s tax whiteness. A honky tax…we’ll calculate your exact level of white lameness then charge you a caucasian offset fee.”

"Be sure to stick around for what he says we should be doing as a society to “get to the finish line” on race. Hint: it involves recognizing that we’re all people, regardless of skin color." . . .

How about a Bipartisan Treaty against the Criminalization of Elections?

Setting aside Hunter Biden, there was no impropriety in President Trump’s asking Zelensky to assist the Justice Department’s investigation into the origins of the Russia probe. 

" Back home in the Bronx is where I first heard the old saw about the Irishman who, coming upon a donnybrook at the local pub, asks a bystander: “Is this a private fight or can anybody join?”

"I was a much younger fellow then. The prospect becomes less alluring with age, so I have some trepidation stepping in between two old friends, Andrew Napolitano and Joe DiGenova. Through intermediary hosts, the pair — Napolitano a former New Jersey Superior Court jurist and law professor, DiGenova a former United States Attorney for the District of Columbia and prominent defense lawyer — brawled this week on Fox News (where I, like they, contribute regularly).

"I’m going to steer clear of the pugnacious to-ing and fro-ing. Let’s consider the intriguing legal issue that ignited it.
"Judge Napolitano argues that the July 25 conversation between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky contains the makings of a campaign-finance crime. "He highlights Trump’s request for Ukraine’s help in investigating then–vice president Joe Biden. In 2016, Biden pressured Kyiv to drop a corruption investigation of Burisma, a natural gas company that paid Biden’s son, Hunter, big bucks to sit on its board.

"Biden, of course, is one of the favorites for the Democratic presidential nomination. " . . .

Greta wants an oompa loompa now

Christopher Skeet

 "When Veruca Salt threw a hissy fit, she at least jazzed it up with a catchy song. 

"No such luck with Greta Thunberg, the teenage Swedish climate activist and sometimes student.  Greta is all frowns, all crossed arms, and she’s not here to play.  Having sailed by an emissions-free yacht to New York, she delivered her now-infamous sermon for the repentant Luddites at the UN Climate Action Summit (available here).  “How dare you?” she thundered repeatedly, while meandering through a sloppy mess of pseudo-statistics meant convince us that she is as capable of a quick Google search as the rest of us." . . .

. . . And after you, your home country of Sweden can show us how an entire nation does it.  True, Sweden couldn’t rouse itself to oppose Nazi Germany.  But this is climate change we’re talking about.  An actual threat.  And Sweden’s transition back to the Stone Age shouldn’t be too difficult.  They have already implemented a de-civilization program of sorts, with its mass importation of unskilled, pissed-off males from the Islamic world. . . .

Mini-AOC sees the end coming and leaps into back action   Her video

The child actor who starred in a series of parody videos as “Mini AOC” is back, after having been bullied off the internet with death threats in July, as Fox News reported back then.

The 8-year-old child actor who went viral for impersonating Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, is no longer going to make videos due to death threats and harassment she and her family have received.

Earlier this year, Ava Martinez, known as "Mini AOC," brought joy to her fans with several videos poking fun at the socialist darling, collecting millions of views on social media.

However, the fun came to a screeching halt on Wednesday when Martinez's family announced that she would no longer be impersonating Ocasio-Cortez and that all the videos created would be removed. . . .

And yet, here she is for your enjoyment.  

Why Hollywood has become a joyless, depressing echo chamber

NY Post

Brad Pitt in "Ad Astra," Demi Moore and Joaquin Phoenix in "Joker"

"When Jennifer Lopez’s infamous interview with Movieline resurfaced on Thursday, I thought: How fun.

"And how different from most of Hollywood now, which is such a joyless place, pushing out joyless products full of dire warnings, safe spaces and moral rectitude.

"Last Sunday’s Emmys were possibly the most boring ever, with ratings at an all-time low. Brad Pitt, one of our last true movie stars, is currently in a somnambulant space epic. His last film, an ostensible ode to Hollywood, revolved around the Manson family.

"We have been warned by nothing less than the United States Army that fall’s next big movie, “Joker,” is probably a clarion call for mass-shooter incels targeting multiplexes.

"And Demi Moore, once the highest-paid actress on the planet, has just published “Inside Out,” her very grim memoir." . . .

President Trump will not be the end of this turmoil

The Pandora's Box is open and this all will continue every time we fail to elect a leftist as President. They have already spoken their intentions to go after Vice President Mike Pence when they bring down Donald Trump with the aid of their ignorant voters.TD

Hat tip to Pam Ayers at Hollywood Conservatives for Trump

Discussing Impeachment down in the gutter where the left is.

The 800-pound gorilla in the impeachment room  "The timing of the whole fake impeachment scandal that's been manufactured once again by deep state actors is incredibly suspect.  As soon as the Russia Collusion Hoax was put to bed comes this whistleblower complaint alleging President Trump initiated a quid pro quo on the Ukrainian president using mob-like tactics in order to take down a possible presidential rival in Joe Biden for the upcoming 2020 campaign.

"One only needs to read the story in The Federalist by Sean Davis, Intel Community Secretly Gutted Requirement of First-Hand Whistleblower Knowledge  to see that the whistleblower complaint was purposely concocted by certain deep state actors since it became public shortly after the disclosure form had been changed from a person needing to have direct knowledge of wrongdoing to include only hearing about wrongdoing from another person or persons."

But the  800-pound gorilla in the room no one has yet to point out is that Mike Pence would ascend to the presidency upon Trump's removal.  A Pence presidency would not look that much different than Trump's in substance although it clearly would in style.  The impeachment and removal of President Trump would clearly outrage and disgust the public so thoroughly that it would practically guarantee a two-term President Pence. 

Donald Trump at High Noon  . . . "The two of them marry in the first moments of the film but then learn that a man the Marshal had sentenced to hang, but was released by an early version of an Obama-appointed judge, is coming to their town with three henchmen to kill Kane.   The Marshal and his new wife quickly leave to seek the life they've planned, but he soon turns around in a crisis of conscience, realizing that if he runs from this man, Frank Miller, he will always be running.  He returns to Hadleyville and attempts to deputize other men in the town to help him face off the murderers. 

But not one of the townsmen will agree to help.  They are all cowards (Republicans) in fear of their lives, or they are friends and admirers of  the outlaw Frank Miller and want to welcome back to the town (Democrats).  Bottom line? Not one man will stand with Kane or defend the peace and safety he has brought to their town.  All the men he's tried to recruit only want Kane to leave; they think if he's not there, there will be no trouble, rather like those who want to dispense with ICE, DHS and the police.   No law enforcement, no crime.  Sure.  We all know how that goes.  Like The Magnificent Seven, this film, too, proves the age-old fallacy that submission to evil brings only violence and grief. It is generally "toxic" masculinity that saves the day" . . .

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo Blasts Impeachment Push, Blames Leftists . . . "Cuomo, a Democrat himself, felt the “quote unquote inquiry” was a result of Democratic radicals in Congress pushing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to engage in an ultimately pointless exercise that would just result in political gridlock. According to Cuomo, “There is a heightened leftist component of the Democratic Party that she was feeling pressure from.' ”

Why the Impeachment Frenzy May Only Strengthen Trump by Victor Davis Hanson
"Contrary to suggestions by some, most Trump supporters are not automatons or blind supporters. What bothers them, and should bother others, about the latest Ukraine hysterias is the familiar monotony of this latest scripted psychodrama." . . .
. . . "Not just Trump supporters but the public is baffled by the apparent asymmetry in the application of the law, or at least the intention to apply the law. The Biden-Obama experience between 2009 and 2017 apparently had set a de facto precedent of what does and what does not constitute collusion." . . .

People are furious that Walmart's website is selling anti-Trump clothing that says 'Impeach 45'

From the "What-were-they-thinking? department: Walmart takes heat as it removes 'Impeach' Trump shirts

This Twitter tweeter tweeted:   @Walmart  You're seriously selling baby wear that calls for the impeachment the President of the United States?   Do you think Patriotic Americans don't shop at your stores? Is this what you represent? Call 1-800-WALMART to reach comment line! #WalkAway from Walmart! Don't forget to buy the shirt this congresswoman is selling; she can use the money. Who said they trust the wisdom of the American voter? Is she what we have for our American leadership? TD

The "OK" sign: Fear Democrats or laugh at them? They want to rule over us, you know.

Somebody really had to dig deep to come up with this logic. Seems 
like something Adam Schiff might make up. All my life this gesture was nothing more than that you got the job done, you'll do the job as ordered, you're good to proceed and a compliment of some sort. Living in the deep South, being ten years in construction, all during the Civil Rights Movement I never once was aware of even racist guys using it as a gesture of "white power" until this Christchurch murderer used it .
 Every day we wake up wondering what other burden the SJWs will lay on our backs. What comes next will forever keep me out of public service, from publishing anything, and certainly out of any useful endeavor in a Democrat-controlled region. At right is my hand signal for nothing more than "DISSENT". The Tunnel Dweller.

Julio Rosas "The Anti-Defamation League has added the "OK" hand gesture and many other symbols to its "Hate on Display" online database.

"The Anti-Defamation League said the "OK" sign "is an obvious and ancient gesture that has arisen in many cultures over the years with different meanings" but has since fallen to a hoax made up by users from 4chan where they promoted it as a symbol of white supremacy. 

(Anti-Defamation League website)

"In the case of the 'okay; gesture, the hoax was so successful the symbol became a popular trolling tactic on the part of right-leaning individuals, who would often post photos to social media of themselves posing while making the 'okay' gesture," the Anti-Defamation League continued. "Ironically, some white supremacists themselves soon also participated in such trolling tactics, lending an actual credence to those who labeled the trolling gesture as racist in nature."

"There have been real world consequences for people using the "OK" sign since the 4chan trolling came about in 2017.

"A Chicago Cubs fan was banned a fan for life after concluding he had made a racist gesture on camera during a game by displaying the "OK" gesture. The Christchurch shooter flashed "OK" during his court hearing in March.". . . .

Zina Bash: 5 Facts About Woman Accused Of Flashing White Power Sign Behind Brett Kavanaugh  

"There was uproar over the confirmation hearing on Sept. 4 for President Donald Trump’s pick for the Supreme Court — Brett Kavanaugh, 53, — and not just because of his political ideologies. Out of shocked outrage, images and videos of a woman sitting behind the Supreme Court nominee today have gone viral. The woman under Twitter fire is Zina Bash, 36, who many accused of flashing an alleged symbol of white power on television for forming her fingers in what appears to be the “OK” sign. But the Anti-Defamation League reported in 2017 that the gesture is not a racist symbol, blaming the website 4chan for the “latest hoax.” Still, many aren’t backing off the conspiracy theory.

In digging up anything - anything -they could think of to use against Judge Kavanaugh, the left made such a big issue out of Bash's casual position, in a later hearing she displayed her disrespect for those Democrats on the committee with this taunt:

Former Kavanaugh Clerk Trolls Everyone With Another Alleged ‘White Power Sign’. . . "Bash is a Hispanic descendant of Holocaust survivors, but at Tuesday’s Kavanaugh hearing she was accused of signaling to white supremacists because her hand was resting on her arm in an “OK” symbol.

Warren: Taxpayers must fund sex reassignment surgery

From those who want Trump gone.

OAN News  "Democratic presidential primary candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) launched her fight via social media to have taxpayer dollars fund “gender-affirming healthcare” so that transgender Americans can have "free" sex-changing surgery.

" 'Everyone should be able to access high-quality, affordable, gender-affirming health care, but the Trump administration is trying to roll back important protections for trans Americans,” Warren tweeted Tuesday. “Help fight back by leaving a comment for HHS in protest."

"Making Affordable Care Act even less affordable for taxpayers

"With former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act – also known as his signature "Obamacare" plan that unconstitutionally forces Americans to pay for a service they don’t want, including abortions for others – being scaled back under President Donald Trump’s administration, Warren is determined to recover all the losses for the LGBT community while adding new privileges (dubbed as “rights”).

"Her tweet took specific aim at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in protest of its recently proposed change. 

Flip-flopping?

"Similar to the notorious presidential campaign flip-flops of former Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) – who she followed as a Democratic Massachusetts senator in 2013 – Warren has stood on both sides of the issue when it comes to taxpayer-funded gender transplant surgery for transgenders.

" 'In the past, Warren has taken heat from progressive activists for saying that she felt providing gender reassignment surgery for a prison inmate was not ‘a good use of taxpayer dollars,’" The Blaze recounted. “She has changed her tune since announcing her run for the White House.” . . .

A candidate with morals and convictions. Just tell her what you want them to be.
