OPRAH WINFREY SPEWS MORE OF HER RACIST DRIVEL…

Now I don’t know about anyone else, but as far as I’m concerned the last person, and I do mean the VERY last person, who should be lecturing any of us on the subject of racism in America is someone who is and, by all accounts, has been for some time, a racist!  And, of course, that would be none other than billionaire multimedia mogul, Oprah Winfrey. You see it was during a recent interview with Isabel Wilkerson, author of ‘Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents,’ during the latest episode of Winfrey’s Apple TV series, Oprah’s Book Club, during which Winfrey took the opportunity to describe America’s “caste system” as “the template for Nazi Germany.”

Wilkerson, who I’m told is an alumnus of the New York Times, characterized ‘Caste’ as an analysis of what she describes as a race-based American “caste system.”  Winfrey said, “How did you decide to focus the book on three cast systems, India, Nazi Germany, and the United States? I think a lot of people get riled up and offended that you’re comparing the caste system here to Nazi Germany, yet we discover that we were the template for Nazi Germany.”  Both ladies noted that Hitler drew inspiration from American eugenicists in formulating the Nuremberg laws, yet neither acknowledged Margaret Sanger’s prominence in America’s eugenicist movement.

According to Winfrey, America’s racial “caste system” includes “systemic racism” and “microaggressions.”  Wilkerson explained the rationale behind her deliberate omission of the terms “racism” and “racist” in her writings, describing the terms as broadly ineffective and overused literary tools of persuasion in the context of her political polemics. Winfrey also falsely accused President Trump of praising white nationalists in Charlottesville as “very fine people,” echoing the falsehood upon which Joe Biden’s latest presidential campaign was launched.  ALL episodes of The Oprah Conversation, Winfrey’s second eponymous series on Apple TV, have focused on racial politics.

And the billionaire media mogul shows no signs of letting up on this kind of political tripe.  It was in the first episode of ‘The Oprah Conversation’ that she declared, “Whiteness still gives you an advantage, no matter what.”  She described “white privilege” as a social force affording advantages to whites at the expense of blacks. She later warned how “whiteness” can be used “as a weapon.”  So says the black billionaire made rich by her many devoted, and white, followers.  And what is it that might motivate someone such as herself to spew such toxic and hate infused rhetoric.  Does she somehow see it as a way to possibly increase her already massive wealth? 

And in speaking of that wealth, how much of it has she contributed to programs the purpose of which would be to convince 7 out of 10 black men to stay with the families they’ve created?  I’m thinking, it’s probably pretty close to zero.  Because that’s not what Winfrey is really all about.   She has done absolutely nothing for those in the black community here in America.  She is like all those other ‘humanitarians,’ in that she took her ‘charity’ to Africa where there wouldn’t be a lot of scrutiny of outcomes.  Her ‘Leadership School’ was plagued with all manner of abuse accusations and then dropped off the radar.  She is just as big a fraud as all the other cabal owned ‘icons.’

Frankly, I find it all more than a little disgusting that someone with billions of dollars can be so uneducated and can continue to scream how it is that ‘her’ people continue to be oppressed.  Now if I remember correctly, Germany was homogeneous in the era of the Third Reich, which was a very big part of why they were successful.  Germany was a caste system BEFORE the Nazis, not after.  So once again Winfrey makes very clear just how truly ignorant she is on that point.  She doesn’t have a clue what she’s talking about, not that that likely matters much.  People like her don’t really care if what they’re saying is true, it’s only important that they are believed.  So don’t!

Winfrey, like so many in her unique group, chooses to ignore that Americans went to war with each other to abolish slavery, while Germany was at war with the rest of the world in its quest for world domination and to perpetuate the Holocaust.  America evolved precisely because of our institutions and our Constitution, and she is who she is because of these privileges.  There is not another country on Earth where she could have succeeded to the level she has.   She may have some sort of an emotional need to be angry with her country. If she were to actually leave the U.S. and move to another country what it is that she would then she rant against in her new country?  

Winfrey loves to talk about ‘white privilege,’ but it’s ‘BLACK privilege’ that she was able to exploit in her rise to wealth and power.  A white person with the same mediocre interview skills and repugnant appearance would still be working at a local affiliate on the morning news.  But because she has black skin, and because white baby-boomer females were brainwashed regarding their white guilt, voila Winfrey became a star!  Why is it that anyone would listen to a black billionaire spew all manner of nonsense about a racial caste system? The entire pretext is nonsense. If anything she says were true, she wouldn’t have been allowed to become a billionaire.

And let’s be honest, blacks are, without a doubt, the most privileged group in the country. They get into the best colleges over white children despite the fact that their grades are not as good and they get jobs over whites, despite being less qualified.  And once hired it’s almost impossible to fire them, just because they are black.  They get preferences over whites in just about everything.  They have the backing of nearly every bank, corporation, and non-profit in the western world as well as from those in the media, in academia and in entertainment.  Enough is enough!  So much for one being judged by the content of one’s character.  What a joke!!

And when you get pregnant at 14 and drop out of school at 15, or get involved with drugs and alcohol at 16, and join a gang at 17, I’m not really sure how it is that one can complain about being the victim of some racist caste system in America.  And such behavior is all the more idiotic because the system is slanted so much in favor of blacks.  ‘Systemic racism’ does not exist in America despite all the claims made by those like Winfrey.  The assumption by blacks that they should be handed everything  or they are somehow a victim, is as disgusting as is their assumption that other people who chose to work hard to get ahead, were handed it all because of privilege.

Winfrey has never found a problem suffered by blacks that she couldn’t then blame on whites.  Those like Winfrey never look inward and address all of the self-destructive behaviors of blacks in America.  We are all the product of the decisions we make such as, 72% out of wedlock births, single parent families, no fathers in the home, government dependency, high drug usage, very high gang and criminal activity, highest incarceration rates, victimization and entitlement mentality, class hatred and envy and all the other self-induced actions that have kept Blacks down.  But it’s just easier to blame white society, and now white people, for all their own failures.

And just how many trillions of dollars have been wasted in this country because of blacks?  Whether we’re talking about the monies spent on them directly, via all manner of taxpayer funded entitlement and social programs, or the costs to rebuild those areas destroyed by them because of some perceived injustice they feel that they have been made to suffer because they’re black.  Try to imagine if blacks had never been brought to this country, how much of the money that comprises our $27 Trillion national debt has been spent on blacks and what do we have to show for it.  And yet we have those like Winfrey essentially claiming more must be spent?

OPRAH WINFREY LECTURES US ALL ON ‘WHITE PRIVILEGE???’


Sorry, but the last person I need to be lectured to about my supposed white privilege, is a racist, billionaire black woman.  Someone who I would argue is the epitome of privilege and is another of those who do little more than to incite racial hatred.  Someone like      Oprah Winfrey, who thinks being born White automatically gives one White privilege and makes one a born Racist.  So, despite the fact that I was born White, through no fault of my own, to declare that I am a Racist, solely because of my skin color would seem to make Winfrey the one who’s the racist, not me!

Winfrey declared in an episode of her goofy little series, ‘The Oprah Conversation’ that “whiteness” and “white privilege” afford unspecified benefits to white people in the “caste system” of America.  In an episode entitled “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man: Part 1” — featuring former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho and drawing its name from Acho’s YouTube series of the same name — Oprah Winfrey invited several white people to discuss “racism,” “white privilege,” and “whiteness.” Oprah praised her white guests for accusing themselves of being “racist.”

Oprah said:  “There are white people who are not as powerful as the system of white people — the caste system that’s been put in place — but they still, no matter where they are on the rung, or the ladder of success, they still have their whiteness.



[Whites have a] leg up. You still have your whiteness. That’s what the term “white privilege” is. It means that whiteness still gives you an advantage, no matter.”

It was Acho who said whites living a “white” life become “part of the problem.”  He said, “As a black person, white people — the proverbial phrase of white people — they run America, CEOs, Fortune 500 companies, execs, ownership,” Acho stated. “They run America. Not an individual white person, but collective white people.”  Acho declared, “I firmly believe that if the white person is your problem, only the white person can be your solution.”  The only ‘solution’ for ANY of the problems experienced by blacks are blacks themselves.  And yet everything is blamed on whites!

Have you ever stopped to wonder what these ‘people of color’ might do to whites if it were whites who made up only 13% of our population?  If we were to judge them by their most vocal and implacable representatives I would think that that would be pretty obvious.  There would likely be a high probability that they would choose to simply slaughter and/or subjugate whites.  Just look to South Africa when blacks took control there, they confiscated white property and murdered many of the white inhabitants.  Why should we think that it would be any different here?

It is nothing other than reckless to actually encourage this poisonous mindset that people are unable to succeed for no other reason than the color of their skin.  After all, what is the point of trying if the game is rigged against you from the start?  And why is it that Winfrey seems to think so little of black people?  I think they’re just as capable of becoming successful as anyone else.  But you will never succeed if you wake up every morning blaming others for your problems.  She of all people should know this. Me thinks she has another agenda that has nothing to do with black people.

While it’s true that systemic racism has been taking place for decades, in truth those who have been the actual victims are whites, and especially white males.  Thanks to quota systems, blacks get favored treatment over those whites who are clearly more qualified, and who are essentially being punished because of their skin color, something they clearly have no control over.  So much for judging someone on the content of their character.  And once blacks are hired it’s a rare event when one is fired no matter how bad their performance, out of fear of accusations of racism.

If Winfrey is somehow attempting to make me, and others like me, feel guilty, then I’m afraid that she’s barking up the wrong tree.  Let’s face it, it was white innovation, creativity, social mores, culture, and morality that was responsible for dragging the rest of the human race out of the dark ages.  And why don’t wealthy blacks, like Winfrey, concentrate on things such as escalating black on black violence or the continuing black genocide that’s sponsored by the Democrat Party and being carried out by Planned Parenthood?   Or are those issues not worthy of pursuing?

I would have to say, contrary to Winfrey, the track record of whites is actually pretty darn good.  After all, they’ve invented 95% of everything from electricity to the internet to antibiotics.  They’ve also created ALL of the greatest nations and they created modern civilization.  And it’s when whites move into a depressed area it, more often than not, improves.  Blacks have done almost the opposite.  They’ve invented nearly nothing, all black countries are third world and when they move into any neighborhood, city or country, it goes, almost immediately, downhill.  

White people have to work for everything they have. Unlike blacks, who are somehow entitled to all manner of social programs, affirmative action and numerous programs to give them an edge.  But it’s easier to blame others for your failures than to take responsibility.  It’s not the fault of whites that black fathers abandon their families, that blacks do drugs and alcohol, that they chose to speak like ignorant ghetto trash rather than act like actual adults. Even when you become a bloated billionaire, you still wag your finger at white people.  Own your own problems for once.

And those blacks who promote personal responsibility and hard work are always quickly demonized and called “Uncle Toms.”  As long as blacks and other minorities blame all their problems on whitey, their problems will never be solved. The victim mentality is a cop out and the easy way out.  It has to be a real bitch to go through life thinking you’re a fricking victim and that you had nothing to do with where you are in life and the circumstances in which you find yourself.   Blacks have been encouraged for decades by those like Winfrey to vote against their own self-interests.

A question that I have asked on more than one occasion has to do with how much better off our country would be today had blacks never been brought here in the first place. Think about it, how many Trillions of dollars have been wasted in just the last 60 years on social programs the supposed intent of which was to ‘help’ blacks?  And where was it that the vast majority of that money came from?  Whites!  Add to that the Trillions of dollars needed to rebuild all those neighborhoods destroyed by hordes of rampaging blacks. I wonder, without blacks, would we now have a national debt?

OPRAH WINFREY, WHEN A RACIST CAMPAIGNS FOR A COMMUNIST, IN GEORGIA…


Among the things next Tuesday’s midterm elections will tell us is whether a very wealthy racist black woman can come into the state of Georgia and convince those who actually live there that the Democrat running for governor of that state is the most qualified candidate and for no other reason than because she’s black.  While I would like to think that most blacks would see through that nonsense, for whatever the reason they seem to find it rather difficult to resist racists like Oprah Winfrey.

Anyway, it was in a speech this past Thursday in the Republican-leaning suburbs of Atlanta that Winfrey demonstrated why so many see her has being little more than you common, run-of-the-mill, racist as she urged voters to make history by making Democrat Stacey Abrams their next governor in next week’s election, saying she refuses to allow the sacrifices of those who were “lynched” and “oppressed” to be “in vain.”  The “sacrifices of those who were lynched and oppressed?”  Seriously?

While purposely neglecting to mention the fact that Abrams is nothing if not a committed Socialist, Winfrey praised Abrams as being a “change-maker” who represents the values of all Georgians.  Winfrey, who rarely makes political endorsements, drew cheers when she claimed to be a registered Independent who was not in Georgia at anyone’s request.  And what was apparently an attempt at being clever, she said, “I paid to come here myself, and I approved this message.”

Winfrey claimed to have tracked down Abrams’ cell phone number and called her to say she wanted to offer assistance in the final days of the campaign.  She said, “I’m here today because of the men and because of the women who were lynched, who were humiliated, who were discriminated against, who were suppressed, who were repressed and oppressed.”  Winfrey made her racist remarks at the Cobb Civic Center Jennie T. Anderson Theatre.  She added, “I refuse to let their sacrifices be in vain.”

Look, most people realize that Winfrey has been a racist her entire ‘career.’  And as is usually the case these Democrat-Progressive-Statist-Socialists they’re always looking for some group to ‘lynch’ or ‘demonize’ and now is the moment of the white and Jewish American.  Republicans want everyone to prosper and to have equal protection under the law, and to keep the government smaller therefore increasing the odds that all Americans are able to prosper and better able to remain free.

Winfrey knows full well who the Democrats really are, after all she are one.  And let’s also not forget how it was that she attended ‘Rev.’ Wright’s ‘church’ in Chicago. You know, the same ‘church’ Barry ‘O’ attended for 20 years and said he didn’t, even though he was married there and his kids were baptized there. That would be the very same ‘church’ where the ‘pastor’ routinely cursed America, and thundered to the crowd there about evil rich white people and an even more evil America.

Winfrey defines irony at a condescending level. She is the product of capitalism making a great fortune in a system that allows you to become very successful by the product gained from your own personal merits.  She is a now using her position of power to falsify this notion that oppression is at a systematic level in this freest of countries.  Using the words such as lynching is nothing short of irresponsible.  Also should be considered as being very dangerous and therefore should be extinguished.

So let me see if I have this straight.  According to Winfrey, if you don't vote for the Democrat, or any Democrats, then the Blacks lynched by Democrats, will have died in vain because we all know that Lincoln Republicans, the party of Slavery and racists who lost the Civil War to Democrats, was thus the Lincoln Republicans who the set up Jim Crow Segregation and started the KKK, and then proceeded to keep Blacks from voting for over 150 years, because of their losing the Civil War to Democrats. 

Winfrey is simply trying to lay some sort of guilt trip on those Blacks who’ve been smart enough to leave the Democrat plantation.  But the fact that she chooses to stay, gives her no credibility. Blacks are finally realizing they’ve been used and lied to by Democrats for decades.  The Democrat Party, has literally done nothing to improve the lives of Blacks. And some are beginning to see that President Trump has already done more for them than any Democrat, including Barack Obama, in over fifty years. 

Abrams however does possess the perfect resume for a Democrat running for political office: she owes over $50,000 to the IRS, has nearly $190,000 in credit card and student loan debt, wants open borders, participated in burning the State Flag of Georgia, and is an extreme Socialist.  Yet oddly enough this remains a tight race with Republicans Brian Kemp whose resume lacks all of those things.  So is Abrams’ resume more impressive to Georgia voters than is her opponent’s, or is it just because she’s black?

OPRAH FOR PRESIDENT??? GOD HELP US!!!


Ever since Oprah gave her little speech at the Golden Globe Awards the other night, people, mostly on the left, have begun wondering if she might now be considering a presidential run come 2020.  But would most Americans be willing to elect another black president, especially a Democrat, while the memory of what a horrendous job our first black president did remains so fresh in their memory?  The last thing we’d need while trying to recover from our first black president, is another black president.

And wouldn’t you think that the legacy of our first black president would be sufficient to prevent Americans from even considering the option of voting for yet another black president, male or female?  After all, eight years of Barry resulted in nothing but: The lowest labor participation since the 1970s, nearly 95 million Americans out of the labor force, the weakest economic recovery since the 1940s, nearly 13 million more Americans on food stamps, and over 43 million Americans living in poverty.

And for blacks in America eight years of Barry’s economic policies brought about: A 58 percent increase in food stamps, a 20 percent jump in those out of the workforce, home ownership 20 percent lower than the national average, unemployment higher than the national average, a racial wage gap that was the worst in nearly 40 years, a median household income $20,000 lower than the national average, and a poverty rate 10 percent higher than national average.  Gee, what a deal!

But in getting back to Winfrey, she has coyly sidestepped actually announcing a run, while others have called on her to run against President Donald Trump in 2020, and various ‘fake news’ outlets have run headlines wondering if she would run and what a Winfrey presidency might look like.  Though Winfrey has been in the national spotlight for upwards of 20 years, she has not been particularly vocal about her political inclinations.  But here’s what we do know about her political ‘leanings’:

1) She’s advocated for a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.  Winfrey called for a path to citizenship for the “12 million undocumented immigrants in the country” while giving the 2013 commencement address at Harvard University.  It was then that she told those in attendance, “And we understand that most Americans believe in a clear path to citizenship for the 12,000,000 undocumented immigrants who reside in this country because it’s possible to both enforce our laws and at the same time embrace the words on the Statue of Liberty that have welcomed generations of huddled masses to our shores. We can do both.”

2) She’s called for stricter gun control.  After the 2016 Orlando shooting, Winfrey questioned whether it was necessary for people to own assault rifles, while during her Harvard speech she noted that most people believed in stricter background checks.  She said, “You know, one side says ‘Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.’ That is true.”  And then she went on to say, “But are we a country that really believes that assault weapons should be made available to anybody? Are assault weapons necessary? I just say, ‘Enough.’ When are we going to be conscious enough to say, ‘That doesn’t make any sense?’ We have the right to bear arms, but do we have the right to bear assault weapons? That’s what I ask.”

3) She’s donated to the Democratic National Committee and has enthusiastically supported Democrat candidates in the past.  Winfrey has come out and given big endorsements to major Democratic candidates. She donated $5,000 to the DNC in 1998 and another $10,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in 1996.  She officially endorsed ex-president Barry ‘O’ in the 2008 election and also gave $2,300 to his campaign.  She also supported that dope Cory Booker in 2013 when he was making a run for the United States Senate, even hosting a fundraiser for him.  Winfrey also endorsed Hitlery in the 2016 presidential election, and described Hitlery’s candidacy as being a “seminal moment for women.”

4) She’s supportive of gay marriage.  Winfrey once suggested that gay couples being able to get married might help the institution of marriage itself.  It was during a panel on education back in 2013 that she said, “Maybe the gay people can help it.”
But look, it doesn’t take a genius to be able to figure out that Winfrey is anything other than another far left Democrat.  She is also someone who, if she were ever to be provided with the opportunity, would quickly return us to what would likely be an even more extreme version of Barry ‘O’s leftist policies which would ultimately result in decimating our economy and allowing our country to be overrun with illegal immigrants.   And is that REALLY what a majority of Americans want to see happen?      

Granted, it’s these days that most everyone willing to admit to being a Democrat is someone who is pretty far to the left.  For the last few decades it’s the Democrat Party that has edged further and further to the left and in a shorter amount of time than any radical liberal movement has in the history of mankind.  And while the Democrats like to accuse Republicans of being ‘extreme’, it’s really they who are far more extreme in their politics.  Today’s Democrat Party is not your father’s party.

And can you possibly imagine the repercussions of disagreeing with the policies of the first black woman as president?  You'd likely be called a misogynistic racist.  Our first black president pretty much destroyed our country and left it far more divided than it was when he found it.  And as excited about a potential President Winfrey as the Democrats may be, I have a difficult time believing that anyone outside the Democrat Party would be all that excited about voting for yet another leftwing zealot.  

And while I would like to think that we’ve moved beyond people being stupid enough to vote for someone based solely on the color of their skin, sadly it’s in that area that we still have a very long way to go.  Partly because it would seem that blacks have now essentially lost control of their own destinies by not taking responsibility for the problems within their own communities. It is impossible for a democratic society to work if certain elements of it believe they are somehow ‘entitled’ to immunity.

Look, Winfrey has made a fortune by producing her own television program.  A program, much like ‘The View’, that’s completely unwatchable except by those possessing an exceptionally low IQ.  She does, however, resonate with a certain segment of our population, that being slack-jawed mouth-breathers and other assorted anti-white racists, and her presidential campaign, if there does turn out to be one, will likely have this very same block as one of her core constituencies.

OPRAH WINFREY FOR PRESIDENT??? ARE THE DEMOCRATS THAT DESPERATE???


All we who first supported candidate Trump, and now support President Trump have heard ad nauseam for over two years now, is how the man is a racist, a white supremacist, a Klan supporter and/or a Nazi.  Accusations hurled at him with nothing to back them up, because, quite literally, there is nothing in the man’s past that would seem to indicate that he is any of these things, or ever has been.  Meanwhile it is over in the Democrat Party that rumor now has it that there is someone expressing an interest in running for president 2020, and that some see this person as representing their best chance to beat Trump.  And while this person cannot be said to be a white supremacist, they can, most definitely, be said to be not only a racist but a practitioner of what is, quite possibly, the worst kind of racism there is.  And yet, that seems to be of little concern among Democrats since this person comes from within their own ranks, it also seems to matter very little to those Democrats busy demanding the impeachment of Donald Trump.

And of course the person of whom I speak is none other than Oprah Winfrey.  Winfrey, as you may recall, was a very vocal supporter of that other obvious racist, ex-president Barack Obama.  I’ve always thought it bit odd that there could be so many blacks, including very wealthy ones, willing to support the very same political party that has done more to suppress blacks than any other organization in American history.  And how it is that they seem so willing to overlook the party’s long history of racism that goes back nearly 200 years.  What does it say about someone who is black and can still so casually overlook the actions of a political party that brought about what they themselves call the darkest period in American history?  And I do wonder, as I did during Barry’s time on office, what are the true priorities of blacks today.  Is it to seek some sort of retribution, or payback against whites, even though no whites today ever owned slaves?  And do these same blacks perhaps see the Democrat Party as being their best avenue for accomplishing that.

And I have no doubt that Winfrey would be able to garner for herself no less than 99 percent of that black vote, because she possesses exactly what that same percentage of blacks look for in a candidate, that being, of course, the fact that she’s black and pretty far to the left.  But by electing another black president, especially after the last one who left the black community far worse off than it was when he found it, would I be considered as being out of place by asking just what is it that blacks would be seeking in electing another black president?  I mean, are they genuinely interested in improving their lot in life?  Do they actually want to work and to make enough money to support themselves and their families?  Or, have the majority of blacks in this country now become quite satisfied with the way things are and are willing to vote for whomever it is that offers the best chance of maintaining things as they are.  They seem quite content to go through life as nothing more than parasites upon those who do want to work and to become self-sufficient.

Since 1960 there have been five Democrat presidents with each one being a little further to the left than the one who came before him, culminating with Barry who was really nothing more than a devoted Socialist.  And how is it that the lives of blacks in America has been made better by having voted for Democrats over the course of the last nearly 60 years?  And how much better would their lives be today if it had been Hitlery who had won that last election and not President Trump?  And after eight long years of having a black president was there any measurable improvement in the lives of those in black community?  Now as someone on the outside looking in I would think that the eight years of Obummer would be more than sufficient to convince even the most liberal of blacks that they’d doing themselves no favors by electing yet another black president, yet I’m quite sure they would be compelled to do so regardless of the fact that they would stand to gain very little from having done so.     

It wasn’t all that long ago that Winfrey was heard to say that she “will never run for public office.”  But with that said, she did recently take the time to promote a recent article in the New York Post, one by John Podhoretz, the topic of which was that she, Winfrey, would the Democrat Party’s best hope for the 2020 election.  The title of the article was, “Democrats’ best hope for 2020: Oprah”, about which she later tweeted out, “Thanks for your VOTE of confidence!”  Now if I recall correctly, Podhoretz was another of those ‘conservatives’ who operated under the ‘NeverTrump’ banner.  And I can only assume that he remains less than a fan of the president.  His piece argued that Winfrey, 63, is effectively the perfect foil to President Donald Trump.  Mr. Podhoretz wrote, “She is the mirror image of Trump, but more so. Of course, she’s female and he’s male; she’s America’s generous aunt and he’s America’s crazy uncle.  And yes, she’s black and he’s white, she’s liberal and he’s whatever he is.”  Mirror image?  Sorry, I hate to disagree, but I’m just not seeing it!

And it was also in his little piece of wishful thinking, perhaps, that Mr. Podhoretz went on to write, “It goes beyond that. He’s rich and she’s rich, but she made her $3 billion herself and with no controversy.  She is, in herself, the embodiment of the American Dream.  He got famous from TV, and so did she, but she became vastly more famous and vastly more successful at it.”  And then he added, “As for politics, it’s worth remembering that Oprah played a not-insubstantial role in the 2008 election…A 2008 study at the University of Maryland suggested that Winfrey herself was responsible for more than 1 million votes cast for Obama in the Democratic contest — which suggests he might not have prevailed had she not campaigned on his behalf.”  Now I think it’s more than a stretch to claim that she’s the embodiment of the American dream, that’s spoken like a true ‘NeverTrumper.’  I’m not sure what might have motivated Mr. Podhoretz other than that he still hasn’t gotten over the fact that our president today is Donald J. Trump.

Winfrey may want to reconsider as it’s already getting a little crowded with her fellow liberal loons like Kanye, Zuckerberg, The Rock, and all the other millionaire celebrities who think they now deserve to be elected. The same celebrities like herself who are stupid enough to believe Trump was elected president because he was rich and famous.  Democrats just don't understand. They think they lost because they didn't have the right celebrity.  They think next time they just have to pick a celebrity that people like.  Trump didn’t win because he was a celebrity, he won because of his ideas.  Liberals worship people and join the cult of personality.  Conservatives want to know what you're going to do.  They want action!  A liberal, Black, racist, rich woman without any serious credentials drafted to be the next Democrat president by some New York ‘conservative’ after proclaiming Hitlery the inevitable POTUS just a few short months ago.  The Democrats have more serious problems than to consider this charade.

Personally, I’m thinking that it might be way too early for another black to try to run for president.  That horse, as they say, has left the barn.  The country has already been effectively relieved of their white guilt, that was accomplished by putting someone into the office based solely on their race.  But then again, she is a female so maybe she could come at it from that direction.  I guess that would be another possible way for her to appeal to those on the left.  The Democrat Party cannot be honest about their positions on those issues important to the American people.  If they were they’d never win another election.  So they bully the non-complyers with demeaning accusations hoping that the gullible will believe them.  Obummer won using such tactics and he turned out to be a liar and a fraud and we’re still removing the scum he left behind to destroy Trump.  President Trump is our only hope to save America.  Winfrey, or any Democrat drives us toward full communism, as the Democrats desperately want power, power, and more power.

PERHAPS OPRAH SHOULD REQUEST A BAILOUT FROM OBAMA...


Having never really been a fan of Oprah, and having never been able to understand her draw, I was none too surprised to hear of the recent financial troubles currently being experienced by her beleaguered cable channel. Apparently the losses being suffered over there are now very rapidly approaching a staggering $330 million, at least according to a recent report issued just this past weekend. Things have gotten to the point where many so-called industry insiders now believe that the channel, known the Oprah Winfrey network (OWN), may not last another year unless they can manage to come up with a hit show and are able to make a dramatic turnaround. For those of you who may have never taken the opportunity to stop by OWN, you have not, therefore, been subjected to the most boring line up of programming in all of cable or satellite television.

Though ratings have seen a slight resurgence thanks primarily to the interview program, Oprah's Next Chapter, it has stumbled since the get go with ratings of a paltry 308,000 daily. Ranks right up there with MSNBC. Anyway, it is believed shows which do not feature the chat show queen herself are not very popular with viewers. Discovery, which partnered with Winfrey to launch the network and has been underwriting its costs, has invested nearly $600 million in it since 2008, according to an extensive report in Businessweek magazine. Since it started on the air in January 2011, it may have lost as much as $330 million, according to the magazine. David Zaslav, the chief executive officer of Discovery Communications who talked Oprah into the idea of OWN, is famously impatient with money-losing operations within his company and insiders say he will not put up with the ailing network's losses for much longer.

I was just two weeks ago that Winfrey appeared before advertisers essentially pleading for more time, telling them: 'I am in the climb of my life. I am climbing Kilimanjaro.' So I guess when all else fails, you just whine and complain. As I've already mentioned the obvious root cause here is lousy programming. And whoever it is that's in charge of deciding what programs are selected needs to be fired. And although Winfrey doesn't really risk losing a whole lot of money here from the channel's failings, her supposed 'reputation' is said to be at stake here. Over her 39-year career, The Oprah Winfrey Show had as many as 12.5 million viewers. O, The Oprah Magazine had more than two million subscribers. And her Internet site, Oprah.com, draws more than three million unique visitors a month. Her image as the most successful TV star of her generation is hanging in the balance. Imagine her embarrassment!

It was back in March that it was announced Rosie O' Donnell's talk show, The Rosie Show, had been axed by the network after only six months. It had debuted with 500,000 viewers but within a few short days the number of viewers had plummeted to roughly half of that. The TV divas both released statements, with Rosie saying she 'wished the show was able to attract more viewers.' She added in a statement: 'I loved working with Oprah in the amazing city of Chicago. I was welcomed with open arms and will never forget the kindness of all I encountered.' In a statement, Oprah Winfrey said: 'I thank Rosie from the bottom of my heart for joining me on this journey. She has been an incredible partner, working to deliver the best possible show every single day. 'As I have learned in the last 15 months, a new network launch is always a challenge and ratings grow over time as you continue to gather an audience'.

However, something that shouldn't come as surprise to absolutely anyone, especially dealing with individuals who have such a high opinion of themselves, it was just a week after they released these statements, that it was reported the pair were not even on speaking terms because, apparently, Rosie was none too happy with the way the press release was worded announcing her show was being unceremoniously dumped. Personally, I just think that's hilarious. I mean the egos at play here are simply huge. And you'll not find two more sanctimonious bitches anywhere on the planet. Whenever it is that things go wrong for these people, it can never be perceived as being their fault. It always has to have been caused by some outside forces. Some 'right wing conspiracy, or something like that. The problem can't be lousy programming, it must be that people are refusing to watch because of some bias. I'm surprised I have heard anyone say the folks aren't watching because Oprah is black.

It was back in February, that Winfrey, the media mogul that she is, came under fire after she made a controversial, and rather unorthodox, bid to resuscitate sagging ratings on Twitter. Competing for viewers on the same night as this year's Grammy Awards, she took to the micro-blogging site to ask, really to beg, her 9.2 million followers: 'Every 1 who can please turn to OWN especially if u have a Nielsen box.' The tweet was deleted, Ms Winfrey said, 'at the request of Nielsen', which prohibits clients from attempting to influence ratings. A backlash of comments followed, with several Twitter users accusing Ms. Winfrey of 'being desperate'. Gee, ya think. I don't know, maybe it's me, but it always appears as being little unseemly to appear so desperate, especially when you're as obvious about it as Ms. Winfrey was. I just don't think that appeals to all that many people. Now it may play big in the black community, but I just don't think it works well anywhere else.

Ya know, we may not ever want to admit it to ourselves, but every once and a while there comes a time when you've just got to be able to recognize the fact that certain things just aren't in the cards for you. And no matter how hard you try, it just ain't gonna happen. And how you choose to handle those unexpected little occurrences reveals a lot about you as a person. And when you find yourself essentially living in denial and resorting to, quite literally, actually begging for viewers, I think it makes very clear that there is very significant lack of any self-respect. When you allow your ego to control your behavior I think you actually diminish yourself in the eyes of those who once looked upon you with a certain sense of respect. I'd say the time may have now arrived for Ms. Winfrey to fold her tent and just move on. Frankly I'm somewhat surprised that she hasn't yet approached her boy Barry regarding some sort of bailout.
