Ann Coulter: White People Embarrassing Themselves

 Ann Coulter (townhall.com)

What was happening was this: A white actor was making damn sure everyone knew how much he liked black people. 

"Taylor Swift, star of the LVIII Super Bowl, this year's Grammys and a crackpot Fox News conspiracy theory that she's a government PSYOP, is also the winner of my award for "Least Embarrassing Way To Attach Yourself to a Black Person When Accepting an Award."

"For the uncouth among my readers, modern etiquette dictates that:

1) Black people win all awards; and

2) When that is absolutely impossible, the white winner must somehow latch onto a black person, stressing how fond he is of black people.

"In Taylor's case, she recently made history by becoming the first musician to win four Album of the Year awards. This was despite her being, as The New York Times put it, "white and thin and blond in a world that continues to privilege whiteness and thinness and blondness."

"Thus, according to protocol, Taylor had to attach herself to a black person. This she did by becoming part of the show when Tracy Chapman reprised her 1988 hit "Fast Car" at the Grammys. Taylor rose from the audience, like a mushroom popping up amid the moss, and sang along for the entire song.

"Boffo publicity! Twitter instantly exploded in gratitude and admiration for the Grammys champion. The media hailed Taylor's performative tribute to Chapman as if she'd orchestrated the Peace of Westphalia. (The Times: "Taylor Swift singing along to Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs performing "Fast Car" is some kind of apotheosis of 2023 in music.") . . .

WHY DID FANI TESTIFY THE WAY SHE DID?

 Who Would Have Believed The Singularity Would Be So Stupid?: (ibloga.blogspot.com)    

"One thing I'm thinking with the hearing is this:

"They are trotting out a lot of claims with no evidence -- "Fani paid me back for all of these trips, but only in cash, and no, I have no deposit slips for when I deposited this cash into my account, you'll just have to take my word for it as a He-Wore selling his man-pussy" -- and Fani's claim that of course she keeps thousands of dollars in cash in her apartment to pay for trips "because my daddy told me a woman should always have six months of cash lying around."

" 'She is using this lie to explain why there are no bank records showing her withdrawing money to repay Sweetdick.

" 'He has no records of ever depositing the cash; she has no records of ever withdrawing it.

" 'Because Her Pappy told her to always have $30,000 in cash (or whatever the figure is) on hand, squirreled away in a hidey-hole in her dirty Fuck Shack.

" 'Sweetdick was asked to provide bank records so he could prove his claims. He refused. He's offering his lies as a defense, and when someone asks him to prove it, he says "No thanks."

" 'Similarly, he refuses to release his lawyer from privilege so he can say what he observed as far as the start of the affair. Sweetdick says it began in 2022; his lawyer... says he will not answer due to client-lawyer privilege. When Ashleigh Merchant asks him if he will release his lawyer from privilege to answer this one question, he says "No thanks."

"This is how criminals at a criminal trial behave -- but these are public officials and officers of the court at a disqualification hearing. And they're lying and evading like common ... streetrat hoods." . . .

WATCH: Judge Walks Out After Fani Willis LOSES IT During Testimony * 100PercentFedUp.com * by Kaley   . . ."Later in the afternoon, Fani Willis surprised everyone by taking the stand herself.

"She delivered a dramatic testimony...and essentially, made an ass of herself.

"At one point, Willis had a meltdown when asked by lawyer Ashleigh Merchant if Nathan Wade had ever visited her "at a place you laid your head."

"Willis responded by waving papers in the air and repeating, "IT'S A LIE! IT'S A LIE!"

"The judge was so done by this point, he actually called a 5-minute recess and walked out of the courtroom!

"That clip went viral on social media.

WOAT President: (worst of all time).

 Who Is the WOAT President? - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics One of the choices:

  • Barack Obama: No such list would be complete without the president who vowed to “fundamentally change America” even though most of America pretty much liked America the way it was. As an African American, he also had the opportunity to heal — or at least radically improve — race relations in America but opted to play the same old racial grievance game.
My contempt for this man has no bounds. I will happily explain for any who inquire about this. Joy Reid will have her own opinions. TD

Two-state "solution"

 Mr. Sidney Silverman: “The Rt. Hon. Gentleman is not suggesting, is he, that any Jew who regarded a country in Europe as nothing but the graveyard and cemetery of all his relatives, friends and hopes should be compelled to stay there if he did not want to do so?” 


‘A Terrible Lot of Lies’: Winston Churchill on Palestine and Israel - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics    "People always ask me: “So what’s the solution?” What do I know? Surely, however, it’s time to forget the eight two-state solutions that have never worked. What about a three-state solution: Gaza to Egypt, West Bank to Jordan (the 1967 borders)? Then they say: “But they don’t want them back!” The answer is Churchill’s idea of the only things that work in the Middle East: “force and bribery.” Whatever it costs us to bribe them is less than a war, and we back the deal with air power. Better yet (in the words of an old friend in a 70s panel discussion on the woes of the British car industry): “Go back to 1945 and start all over again.”

Lawfare Fani making Trump’s point (Complete article here)

Silvio Canto, Jr. - American Thinker   

The important part is that Trump’s enemies always end up helping him. Add lawfare Fani to the list.
Toon added by TD

"It was interesting TV and the show is not over. As you know, there is only so much of the “Elderly Man with a Poor Memory” story that we can take. I guess that many of us want to wait until Special Counsel Robert Hur speaks publicly about just how bad the elderly man's memory is. So a little Nathan-does-Fani is a bit more interesting for now, even if she disputes what he did to her.

"According to Eddie Scarry, Fani had a plan:

It wasn’t clear that Willis would be compelled to give testimony, but it’s no shock that it turned out this way when she volunteered. The whole point of her performance was to ratchet up news and online commentary about her abrasive conduct and her “Uh-uh, don’t got there” demeanor. It’s a naked attempt to get Trump supporters and right-wing media to please, please, oh-pretty-please call her “angry.” That way she can go on “The View,” plus chat with MSNBC’s Joy Reid to do what she’s already been doing and accuse her critics of being racists who simply can’t stand seeing a black woman of color in power.

It’s a desperate, albeit rational attempt to distract from what the rest of Thursday’s hearing demonstrated -- that Willis and Wade likely lied to the court about the extent of their involvement, as Willis’ former close friend attested, and that Willis also probably lied about receiving improper gifts from Wade, whom she retained and paid with taxpayer money.

It’s all she has left. If it doesn’t work in the court, she will have lost nothing anyway. “The View” and Joy Reid will still call her a hero.

"I agree that Fani will have Joy Reid or "The View" to run to. And playing the race card comes naturally to Democrats, especially those who never planned to get caught.

"What I see here is a disaster for the anti-Trump crowd for two reasons:

"First, it exposes just how partisan, amateurish and arrogant this whole group is. This is about getting Trump; and,

"Second, it will harden the people voting for Trump. I want Trump to win so that we can shut down these banana republic tactics. I’m sick of this stuff.

"And yes, Fani will probably find a friendly audience at "The View." To be sure, Joy Reid will find the racial angle of this. I’m sure that Jim Crow made them do it. Doesn’t she always blame everything on poor JC? 

"The important part is that Trump’s enemies always end up helping him. Add lawfare Fani to the list."

 Donald Trump Is Blessed With the Very Best Enemies - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

. . ."Consider some of the current biggest enemies of Trump, as he marches through the Republican presidential primary and looks toward a general election rematch with President Joe Biden.

"First, there is Biden himself. The nominal president of the United States is an indescribable embarrassment to the nation — physically corpse-like, palpably senile, chronically misinformed, utterly lacking in judgment, and generally clueless as to where he is and what words emanate from his mouth. He is a disgrace to his office, and it is a shocking public disservice that his wife and handlers even permit him to seek reelection in such a debilitated state." . . .

"Third, there is Alvin Bragg, the Soros-funded lawyer in New York City now prosecuting Trump" . . .

"Finally, there is Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis, whose courtroom meltdown this week, and the likelihood that she lied in court about the timing of her extramarital affair with her own appointed special prosecutor, has crystallized what already seemed likely: The Georgia prosecution, which once seemed the most dangerous of Trump’s four criminal cases, is imploding." . . .
