Three minutes and 53 seconds into this broadcast, Ann Coulter points out that it is Donald Trump that is sticking up for the working men and women of this country, poor blacks included. Not having Sean Hannity to hector her, Ms. Coulter is allowed to develop the point by the stand-in host, Eric Bolling. Today, CNN attempted to embroil Trump in an illegal-alien labor scandal. The report, nowhere to be found on the site, was mostly hearsay (“people told us on condition of anonymity,” so it must be true). The report concluded with the one person who was willing to go on camera: a black American in a hard hat shrugging and sayings he’s mighty pleased to be making some money.
Comedian Amy Schumer Caves To PC Consensus
Free Speech, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Political Correctness
In case you’re getting tired of the one public persona who won’t embark on an apology tour for politically incorrect utterances and ideas—here’s comedian Amy Schumer, folding and feeding the quest for consensus:
Comedienne Amy Schumer was wrapped into the recent national discussions on political correctness after making several jokes about race on her Comedy Central show. Though Schumer previously pushed back at critics in the past who accused her of having a “blind spot” for race jokes, but in an exchange with a fan on Twitter, she said that she wants to “take responsibility” for what she said.
The incident began when an article for The Guardian commented about some of Schumer’s off-color jokes. Monica Heisey initially praised Schumer as “funny, feminist, mainstream entertainment, ” but was less enthused about several “tactless” jokes from the Trainwreck star, such as “I used to date Latino guys. Now I prefer consensual.”
Schumer initially defended the comments, tweeting a lengthy post on June 28 about how she refuses to do “safe” material and that race jokes are part of her act as “an irreverent idiot:”
I enjoy playing the girl who time to time says the dumbest thing possible and playing with race is a thing we are not supposed to do, which is what makes it so fun for comics. You can call it a “blind spot for racism” or “lazy” but you are wrong. It is a joke and it is funny. I know that because people laugh at it.
After being asked on Twitter whether she has a sort of public responsibility as a storyteller, Schumer took a different tone …
The Immigration-Industrial-Complex Culpable For Kathryn Steinle
On the murder by proxy of Kathryn Steinle: Don’t you love the way ICE, the federal wing of the immigration-industrial-complex, is out-front about the slaying of Ms. Steinle? The Immigration and Customs Enforcement is gleeful that this time it’s the city of San Francisco that unleashed a predator on to its streets. But there are as many instances of ICE unleashing the same caliber of criminal on the people they swore to protect as there are instances of localities doing the same. More, actually:
According to weekly detention and departure reports from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, there were 167,527 non-detained convicted criminal aliens in the United States as of Jan. 26 of this year, … ICE admitted to releasing 36,007 criminal aliens from the agency’s custody in Fiscal Year 2013, including those convicted of sex crimes, homicide, drunk driving, kidnapping and robbery. Of these, 1,000 went on to commit new crimes ranging from assault with a deadly weapon and lewd acts with a child to aggravated assault, robbery, and hit-and-run.
The federal government usually takes states to court if local law-enforcement so much as asks an illegal alien about his immigration status. All wings of the Immigration-Industrial-Complex are responsible for this young woman’s death and the fate of many like her. It could be any of us.
AL Jazeera And RToo On America
America, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Media, Middle East, Russia
a DRUDGE headline blares: “AL JAZEERA July 4 vid mocks Americans as fat, gun-toting, pill-poping, porn-watching racists …” Al-Jaz has always been a clone of the American left. John Stewart on steroids. RT, however, used to have a strong libertarian streak. No more. The American anchor babes took control there and that was that. The Al-Jaz headline could have come from RT (which went instead with as a mild “Number of ‘extremely proud’ Americans drops by 3 percent”).
