What’s most frustrating is that almost all of these people, relatively new to conservatism, instead of showing an ounce of humility and taking time to learn about what the concept actually means and let it soak in, manage to infect our platforms and quickly elevate themselves as our new instructors.

Leo Terrell has been a civil rights attorney for 30 years, including filing over 100 lawsuits against law enforcement. He’s African-American, a life-long Democrat, and from California… in other words every aspect of his background would suggest someone who would vote for Joe Biden in 2020. But in this conversation, Leo explains why he’s become both an opponent of Joe Biden and a strong, passionate supporter of Donald Trump.
— 630 KHOW, 9/2/20

As someone who lived in Los Angeles during the 1990’s, I was privy to the loudmouth persona that is Leo Terrell. He was your typical liberal, rude Democrat apologist-race hustler, appearing on television and radio interviews as an agitator more competent at hurling insults than offering real solutions. It’s with total dismay that he reared his ugly head during the 2020 presidential campaign, posing as a promoter of all things Donald Trump, and the stamp of approval from Fox News.

Leo Terrell is one of the latest opportunist chameleons and his history is proof.

Ironically, Terrell’s appearance on “Hannity” was on April 1, 2013.

‘FAILED’: Terrell explains why Black Americans are turning their back on the Dems

Interesting how Leo Terrell is now a go-to on how to explain the virtue and principles of people he’s publicly denigrated for decades. And like all those so-called conservative leaders who insulted Trump supporters in 2016, Terrell has NEVER apologized to those he’s diminished to the delight of the left. Just fuggeddaboudit because HE’s on the team now!

This is not to say people can’t change. People change perspectives every day. However, most don’t change opinions and assume expert status overnight, especially when that sudden change becomes lucrative.

Leo Terrell is only empowered by his knowledge that too many conservatives gravitate to that shiny thing. Bear traps are shiny. Terrell knew all he need to is be black and say “Donald Trump” on Fox News with a red MAGA ballcap; just like Stacy Dash used a bathing suit next to a rocket with “Romney” emblazoned on the side. Conservatives opened their arms without a true understanding of whom they were about to hug.

Leo Terrell may be “2.0” today, but people like him tend to turn on those when another opportunity presents itself. If MSNBC offered him a fulltime evening opinion show, with the condition that he assume his old liberal position, are you really sure he’d turn it down? As said before, people in the blabbermouth profession have morals that mirror whomever signs the paycheck.

Luckily Terrell isn’t fooling everybody. I don’t believe he’s ever appeared onstage with Donald Trump. I don’t believe that’s an oversight.

He’s MAGA today.

There’s no guarantee who Leo Terrell will be tomorrow.

While the Republican Party was founded as an abolitionist party of slavery in the United States, the modern day Democrat left has taken every opportunity to label them and all conservatives as racist; a smear that has had them on an almost daily defensive since. The left doesn’t need any help, but earlier this month they got some.

It worked.

Patrick Howley “as of 2020 was writing for National File. He is the former editor-in-chief of Big League Politics, and in 2019, he worked as a freelancer for the Epoch Times.” He’s still currently listed as a “political reporter” for the Daily Caller. It would be correct for him to be labeled as a “right wing” author, but it’s clear he doesn’t speak for all of us.

Once AGAIN, Howley’s exposed the problem where so many with access to megaphones are undisciplined or in some cases, poorly-vetted infiltrators who smell generous conservative donations and proximity to power where little else (by way of actual skills and/or previous accomplishments) was required. In some cases, their lack of class and/or racism internally is a plague they’ve successfully kept hidden to this day while profiting off the unwitting base.

And as far as his assertion that “Sorry to say, but so many Black celebrities who have nothing to do with country music and it’s like — why?”, while that may be true as far as the Hollywood shallow goes and an over-the-top attempt has been made to make country music woke, to basically say blacks don’t like country music is something that could be challenged.

Not that it’s my favorite genre by any means, but the very first concert I attended was The Allman Brothers Band in 1972 at the Boston Garden. Southern rock could be considered an offshoot of country and I really, really doubt that while an obvious minority, I was not the only black person there that night, starting with one of the band’s two drummers.

Context.

Not sure how Howley will deal with his latest bout of notoriety but given our past experience with him, let’s just say the hole can be dug a lot deeper….

Disney employees plan massive walkout over ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill
Disney employees stage ‘huge’ walkout to protest ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill response, as company says it supports LGBTQ community
Disney workers ‘full-scale walkout’ over the company’s response to so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill

It didn’t take long for “massive”, “huge” and “full-scale” to be whittled down….

Some Disney employees organize walkout to protest so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill

Reports from Los Angeles showed “dozens” showing up for a “chill” protest and in Orlando, epicenter of the Disney controversy, there was reportedly only one protester who walked off his job.

It’s like the gay protesters expected Disney to grovel even further so they wouldn’t walk off the job, and when push came to shove, it was a whole lotta nuthin’.

In yet another example of progressive projection, those who claim to be oppressed are just a part of the long-standing oppressors in a workplace all too familiar to conservatives.

Published Monday and provided to The Daily Wire in advance, the authors reveal that they do not feel safe in their jobs and say that Disney has “come to be an increasingly uncomfortable place to work for those of us whose political and religious views are not explicitly progressive.” The staffers say they’ve watched silently as Disney villainizes and condemns political leaders who share their opinions:

As employees of the Walt Disney Company, we believe in the dignity of all people. This is why we do what we do. We write stories. We make costumes. We act in parades. We run cruises. We stream movies. We make magic. We do this because our work contributes to a fountain of wonder that inspires joy, awe, and delight in guests and audiences of all ages. We are proud employees of the Walt Disney Company. We love our jobs because we get to share the wonder of life and human experience with millions of people worldwide.

However, over the last few years, one group of cast members has become invisible within the company. The Walt Disney Company has come to be an increasingly uncomfortable place to work for those of us whose political and religious views are not explicitly progressive. We watch quietly as our beliefs come under attack from our own employer, and we frequently see those who share our opinions condemned as villains by our own leadership.

The company’s evolving response to the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” legislation in Florida has left many of us wondering what place we have in a company actively promoting a political agenda so far removed from our own. TWDC leadership frequently communicates its commitment to creating an inclusive workplace where cast members feel comfortable sharing their perspectives and being their authentic selves at work. That is not our workplace experience.

Over the last few weeks, we have watched as our leadership has expressed their condemnation for laws and policies we support. We have watched as our colleagues, convinced that no one in the company could possibly disagree with them, grow increasingly aggressive in their demands. They insist that TWDC take a strong stance on not only this issue but other legislation and openly advocate for the punishment of employees who disagree with them.

An internal poll within the company went out a few months ago asking us if we felt accepted in the company. Many of us didn’t complete it because the nature of the questions made us worry that the results of the poll could be used to target us for quietly holding a position that runs against the progressive orthodoxy that Disney seems to promote. TWDC has fostered an environment of fear that any employee who does not toe the line will be exposed and dismissed.

Much has been made of our internal efforts to Reimagine Tomorrow, but as much as diversity and inclusion are promoted, the tomorrow being reimagined doesn’t seem to have much room for religious or political conservatives within the company. Left-leaning cast members are free to promote their agenda and organize on company time using company resources. They call their fellow employees “bigots” and pressure TWDC to use corporate influence to further their left-wing legislative goals.

Meanwhile, those of us who don’t align with this vision keep our heads down and do our work without bringing our personal beliefs into the workplace. We’ve done this without complaint because we don’t want to rock the boat, but the boat is being rocked, and our leadership seems compelled to reward those who are rocking it.

Employees who want TWDC to make left-wing political statements are encouraged, while those of us who want the company to remain neutral can say so only in a whisper out of fear of professional retaliation. The company we love seems to think we don’t exist or don’t belong here. This politicization of our corporate culture is damaging morale and causing many of us to feel our days with TWDC might be numbered.

Furthermore, as this politicization makes its way into our content and public messaging, our more conservative customers will feel similarly unwanted. You can only preach at or vilify your audience for so long before they decide to spend their money elsewhere.

Working for The Walt Disney Company is a dream come true. We love being part of creating the magic that so many people around the world enjoy. Our storytelling is second to none. It resonates with people from all walks of life across the political spectrum. Our parks are the source of joy and inspiration that Walt hoped they would become. Every year, millions of guests escape an increasingly divided world to a place where they can relive fond memories of the past and savor the challenge and promise of the future. They do this alongside thousands of other guests that might not have anything in common with them other than a shared love of Disney.

The unique brand of family entertainment that Disney is known for is an objective good in this dark world. It brings people together and provides cultural touchpoints that even the worst enemies can unite over. At the height of COVID lockdowns in the Summer of 2020 when the country was fiercely divided over a range of issues, Hamilton provided us something to collectively celebrate. At the end of an incredibly contentious election year, The Mandalorian was there to soothe a weary nation with non-political entertainment we could all enjoy no matter who you voted for. When Disney takes sides in political debates, they deprive the world of a shared love we all have in common. TWDC is uniquely situated to provide experiences and entertainment that can bridge our national divide and bring us all together.

CEO, Bob Chapek had the right idea in his original statement that he has since walked back. In Chapek’s own words, “As we have seen time and again, corporate statements do very little to change outcomes or minds. … Instead, they are often weaponized by one side or the other to further divide and inflame.” Disney is far more important and impactful to the world by avoiding politics than it will ever be by embracing a political agenda. By focusing on entertainment that inspires us with stories of universal appeal, we are doing good in the world.

Disney shouldn’t be a vehicle for one demographic’s political activism. It’s so much bigger and more important than that. More than ever, the world needs things that we can unite around. That’s the most valuable role The Walt Disney Company could play in the world at this time. It’s a role we’ve played for nearly a century, and it would be a shame to throw all of that away in the face of left-wing political pressure. Please don’t let Disney become just another thing we divide over.
— Disney Employees’ Open Letter in Favor of a Politically Neutral Disney

While gay activists believe it’s their right to introduce sexuality to kindergarteners on up and suggest any push back is bigotry and oppression, look at the language used by those same activists towards anyone who opposes them. The goal could be to limit their environments to only people who think like them.

After the “massive” walkout at Disney, it’s still appears to be a very small group.

Now that crime, promoted by those campaigns they donated heavily to, has reached their doorsteps, it’s an emergency.

Private security contractors report that a recent string of high-profile retail robberies and home burglaries in upscale Los Angeles neighborhoods has caused a dramatic uptick in requests for their services and prompted many of their wealthy clients to change their routines out of a mix of caution and fear.

Living in fear because of the political motives of others really sucks, especially when property and lives are at risk.

Recent high-profile crimes involving the entertainment community include the Oct. 27 robbery of the Encino home of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley, resulting in the theft of $1 million in luxury handbags, jewelry, watches and other goods. Actor and former BET host Terrence Jenkins escaped a robbery attempt by a masked crew near his Sherman Oaks home on Nov. 10.

Then Hollywood was shaken by the fatal shooting of 81-year-old philanthropist Jacqueline Avant (wife of legendary music exec Clarence Avant and mother-in-law to Netflix’s Ted Sarandos) during an attempted burglary at her Trousdale Estates home on Dec. 1; the perpetrator, recently paroled from state prison, was charged with her murder on Dec. 6.

High-profile heists have also occurred in the Fairfax district, where suspects in police-like uniforms followed victims from a restaurant, and in Hancock Park, where two men robbed a mother with her baby. Armed robbers crashed a holiday party in Pacific Palisades on Dec. 3 to strip revelers of jewelry, iPhones and an Apple watch. On Dec. 7, thieves heisted about $100,000 worth of jewelry and goods from guests held at gunpoint outside the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown. And on the evening of Dec. 20, a man was arrested for attempting to burglarize a Bel Air mansion.

The case could be made had these know-it-all “celebrities” voted for politicians and activists who really had the public’s best interest in mind, none of this would be necessary and millions in property damage and lives would have been spared… including theirs.

With a majority of clients in Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades and Brentwood, ACS Security has seen an uptick of “about 50 percent” in calls and special patrol services in the past few weeks, says field marketing manager, Elizabeth Chyr. Many clients of SSA Security Group (which services the Palisades, Holmby Hills, Brentwood, Santa Monica and Westwood) are “asking for extra patrol,” says executive senior vice president Terry Segraves, adding that the rate of new client intake is up significantly — “we already have 12 new clients in December.”

Coldwell Banker real estate agent Joyce Rey tells THR that she has joined with neighbors in her Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood to hire private patrols.

Sadly, the majority of the American people don’t have the disposable means to hire personal security squads or renovate their homes to include safe rooms. We just have to live with the ramifications of policy-makers the Hollywood crowd donate massively to.

Since late August, Rising S Company has completed risk assessments for multiple high-end clients in L.A. and installed 13 safe rooms, nine safe doors, two underground bunker shelters, and two window fortifications in Brentwood Park, Beverly Park and Paradise Cove, says general manager Gary Lynch. This compares to their installation of seven safe rooms in California in the 2.5 years prior.

Estate manager Bryan Peele, president and founder of the L.A.-based Estate Managers Coalition, told THR that his clients have “fully equipped safe rooms that they can live in for a few days, if necessary, that are completely hard-wired with phone cables, Internet, everything.”

One of Peele’s clients has purchased three bullet-proof cars in the last couple of months, while another located a company in London to replicate his luxury watches. “This guy will take a $200,000 Rolex and copy it, using stainless steel and other metals, so it looks like the original but costs maybe $2,000-$3,000 per watch. So, in the event that it’s stolen, the client is out a lot less money,” says Peele.

None of these people will admit they brought this crime plague down around all of us. Instead, they’ll just hunker down while it creates the intended tumult outside of their neighborhoods.

Some are taking firearm and self-defense classes, while enrolling staff in security training. “We even have one client in Brentwood that has security detail follow the kids to playdates and follow the housekeeper when she’s walking the pets,” says Peele.

Entertainment business manager John McIlwee of McIlwee & Associates — whose clients include Jane Lynch and director Matt Reeves — told THR that in the past weeks he has been reviewing insurance policies, sending reminders to use alarm systems, and adding in armed patrols.

These are the same people who’d have our Second Amendment right diminished while you can’t watch any primetime television without a depiction of a couple homicides by firearm. And while retail outlets in poorer neighborhoods are moving out due to the shoplifting sprees that result in no arrests, those thieves messed with the stores the special people frequent and that’s a problem.

In the retail realm, eleven smash-and-grab robberies in Los Angeles, from Nov. 18 through Nov. 28, involved over $338,000 worth of goods and more than $40,000 in property damage. Targeted stores include Nordstrom at the Grove shopping center (where at least 18 thieves used sledgehammers and an electric bicycle to smash through windows), Nordstrom at the Westfield Topanga & The Village shopping center in Canoga Park (where a security guard was assaulted with bear spray), Ksubi on South La Brea Avenue, Bottega Veneta on Melrose Place, and several stores in Beverly Center. Fourteen suspects, arrested on Dec. 2, were all released within hours after paying bail or meeting no-bail policies implemented last year for certain crimes to reduce jail populations during the pandemic.

The rare sneaker and streetwear shop Zero’s on Melrose Avenue, which counts Pete Davidson, Noah Cyrus, and several L.A. Rams players as clients, was robbed at gunpoint in September. Owner Zero Selon told KTLA that he was forced to spend his personal savings to hire armed security guards and additional staff.

While burglars’ attempts to smash through the Louis Vuitton and Saks Fifth Avenue storefronts in Beverly Hills with sledgehammers on Nov. 21 were thwarted by bulletproof glass, that city has significantly stepped up security.

While many celebrities showed public solidarity with Black Lives Matter and the #DefundThePolice movement, the obvious foolishness stopped at their city limits.

“We are one of the first cities in the country to hire more police — five officers were sworn in this week — and, for two years, the city of Beverly Hills has been working with two private security companies [Nastec and Covered6], so there are 80 added armed ex-military guards surveilling both the city and the [residential] neighborhoods,” Todd Johnson, president and CEO of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce, told THR. “There are a lot more police on foot, bicycles, motorcycles and in cars. And there’s a good chance that you won’t even notice the undercover guys because they are dressed in sweats and sneakers. Many of the businesses on Rodeo (probably 70 to 80 percent) and throughout the city have additionally hired their own private security. We have more cameras per square foot than any other city in the world.

It takes a lot of chutzpah to have it reported to the world that shit’s gotten way out of control and the red carpet crowd can afford to insulate themselves from the things that made them feel good without as much of an apology to the rest of Americans who have to live in the world they helped subsidize.

The latest example is “hero” Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller who called out the incompetence of the Pentagon hierarchy on the deadly botched Afghanistan “withdrawal”. He knew making his disagreement public on social media was a career death sentence, but clearly knowing how conservatives love a “patriot”, he did so and the results were predictable and loud.

There are dozens of others.

After mentions of his plight were trumpeted on Fox News, conservative talk radio and media, a fundraiser was created and over $2 million dollars has been raised to-date for his defense, retirement, etc.

But like Owens, Scheller had social media posts he obviously knew wouldn’t be helpful when it comes to the sympathy and generosity of conservatives.

A response was obviously necessary.

It could be argued had Tucker Carlson and others known and shared portions of the Facebook posts to their audiences, Scheller may not have the $2 million-and-counting waiting for him upon his release.

The problem remains that those in the conservative media (like their liberal counterparts) NEVER admit when they were not only wrong, but led millions to support those not worthy. For example, too many who demand we support Donald Trump were viciously against him during the 2016 campaign and (with the recent exception of Glenn Beck) have yet to admit they were wrong about him and his agenda.

Many of us bought the hype and initially saw Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller as a hero. While those of us who served are well aware of the UCMJ rules and know the First Amendment technically doesn’t exist for unit cohesion reasons and also served at a time when social media didn’t exist so those complications never had to be addressed, Scheller’s actions were not the smartest. It could be speculated that Scheller would have rightly busted any enlisted subordinate who did the same thing he did.

Conservatives admired his passion and commitment to those who lost their lives during the last days in Afghanistan, but it now appears Scheller deleted Facebook posts as to make himself more sympathetic to a preferred MAGA demographic; one that would turn honor into sympathy and ultimately, dollars.

It’s sad we have to dissect the possibly motivations of those who just appear out of nowhere but until conservatives do, we might as well tape a piece of paper on our backs with a big “sucker” written on it. And sadly, this also appears to be another example of how the officer class takes care of their own assuring a soft landing when their time of service comes to an end.

UPDATE

Obviously news of Lt. Col. Scheller’s anti-Trump Facebook posts being shared among Trump supporters, presumably the majority of those donating to his fundraiser, may have resulted in a down-tick.

Time for damage control… on Fox News!

The “that’s-not-who-I-am” defense, most notably used after embarrassing actions are made public, doesn’t always play well. We’ll see if another fooled by the media is successful in profiting off a president and movement he clearly had no respect for.

UPDATE

It must be nice to be an officer!

Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller was sentenced on Friday to receive a punitive letter of reprimand and forfeit $5,000 of one month’s pay after pleading guilty to all charges stemming from his public tirades against top military and civilian leaders, the Marine Corps announced.

Scheller will now begin the process of exiting the service, said Capt. Samuel Stephenson, a Marine Corps spokesman. The nature of Scheller’s discharge will be determined by the Navy secretary.
— Task & Purpose, 10/15/21

Many of us who served know there are officers like Scheller who’d be the first to bust down any enlisted person for doing exactly the same thing. A dishonorable discharge would be a given.

The officer class takes care of their own. Scheller will land softly; maybe even a gig with Fox News, supported by the very people he dissed.

Must be nice.

We warned many as to the “conservative” credibility of Candace Owens and the Charlie Kirk who imposed her on us….

3/15/19: Media Lies About NZ Shooter Manifesto Motivations, Blames President Trump
4/11/19: IF… Candace Owens Was Truthful to Congress, She Lied to Conservatives

We made memes, sent out Tweets and Facebook posts, tagging President Trump, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Larry O’Connor, Chris Plante, Dennis Prager, Fox News; everyone who gushed over and pushed Candace Owens in our faces, praising her bravery and “brilliance” (which were just repackaged social media postings of words said by others long before she was aware). But again, because she appeared on Fox News, was universally praised on talk radio, certified and promoted by CPAC, that’s all she needed to use conservatives and pursue her self-serving goals.

The validation was when she came right out and admitted, under oath, she was a Democrat after lying to conservatives that she’d changed her party registration to Republican months prior.

For some reason, this STILL got by our conservative intelligentsia.

Candace Owens is laughing at you and has been for quite awhile.

Not us, but all those we come to for information and so-called “leadership”. NO conservative websites questioned her motivations, just as they allowed Stacey Dash to embarrass us nationally and helped Joy Villa walk right into President Trump’s inner circle.

What’s sad is too many know how to infiltrate and use conservatives. The biggest problem is that those who have the luxury of disseminating information to conservatives is that they are lazy, and when reasonable doubt is presented, they blow it off. When proven wrong, they they’re too arrogant to admit it.

Fox News never apologized for imposing Stacey Dash or Joy Villa on us. Conservative “leaders” will act all shocked at Candace Owens’ back stab, but they were warned.

Now, will the “powers that be” FINALLY look into and run Charlie Kirk out of the conservative column? We did our research.

Will they…?

They appeal to the naive who know nothing about them. The template is out there for all to see and utilize.

A woman identifying herself as “Reformed Republican” posted a photo of herself in a “Make America Great Again” hat and announced she refused to hide any longer.

The way the story ended, however, was not the way Republicans would have hoped. She posted a GoFundMe link to a since-deleted request for help. She raised over $150,000 off of conservative donors.

Once she was finally outed, she explained that it wasn’t stealing because Republicans aren’t people, to begin with.
— RawStory, 11/4/18

We’ve repeatedly warned conservatives to vet those they blindly embrace and we’re admonished because if they saw that person on FOX NEWS, that’s all they need, despite the fact Fox News doesn’t issue retractions when they get suckered.

Sadly, people who want to be a part of something on Facebook and wish to appear tolerant and inclusive, are easy pickin’s for those who look down on you as stupid.

You keep proving their point.

Why was that?

What shall we do with the Negro? I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature’s plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!
— Frederick Douglass

Okay, given the times it probably would’ve put an even bigger bullseye on the back of his head, but even today black conservatives are little more than showpieces to prove racial inclusion within the Republican Party.

There are many blacks today, experienced and scarred by the left, who are more than qualified to be “leaders”, that is, if they believe black people need to be led; a sentiment of internal debate to this day.

Sadly, some white conservatives are still bent on elevating those THEY deem worthy to lead us, without even the courtesy of asking.

For example….

Black Females with ZERO Conservative Credibility

The conservative movement leadership seemingly drooled over Stacey Dash all because she appeared in a bathing suit. She had zero background in conservatism or Republican politics at all but that didn’t seem to matter. All it took was one Tweet and she became a “leader”.

Because she was black and relatively young, the door was swung wide open despite the fact she would ultimately allow herself to be a joke on national television… as a Republican.

Then there was Joy Villa who told hundreds of thousands of gullible supporters she voted for Donald Trump even though she was a Bernie Sanders supporter who clearly had disdain for both of the two viable 2016 presidential candidates on Election Day.

As she was going nowhere in her questionable “career”, Joy knew all it took to get the attention of shallow, clueless conservatives.

Conservative women were (and are still to this day) seal-clapping “the dress” and conservative men gushed on her “hotness”. With the irresponsible elevation by Fox News and so-called conservative “leaders”, she made it deep into the Trump inner circle.

Once a spankin’ Joy Villa tried to pull a #MeToo on a Trump loyalist, she was discarded like old Fox News as if she never existed… at least for a short while.

This appears to be how Fox News issues retractions when they actively promote frauds on their audience who fall down hard.

One would think with the hundreds of thousands of dollars Fox News alone puts into “researchers”, they’d be competent and not set up the conservative movement with publicity-seeking leeches. It’s also sad that the Trump Administration relies on those who’re supposed to be vetting as the wrong people are slithering in and leaving their stink on his staff and family.

One would also think they’d learn their lesson after being burnt twice.

But, no….

Now, we have a woman who’s just enjoyed her one-year anniversary as a conservative being given center stage to single-handedly free Democrat slaves from the plantation, and she never had any use for conservatives until she could access their money.

The ONLY reason most even know Candace Owens exists is because her latest boss, Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, had a little bit of a public relations issue when several of his young employees posted racist Tweets. In an effort to prove he wasn’t a racist and keep those nonprofit donations coming in, he hired a black face and sicced her loose on social media, reciting with authority things that have been already been said by many much wiser and lost much for saying them.

Here’s only some of what her white conservative admirers DON’T KNOW, as again they were too lazy to vet, accepted her as credible only because she’s all over Fox News, and will ignore her past once presented to avoid admitting they were duped… again.

When Candace Owens implodes, and she will, conservatives who embraced her will later act like they never knew her or feign ignorance as to her nefarious and anti-Republican musings.

Owens does appear have recurring meldings of those who disagree with her and death….

How many conservatives have fought against the notion of the Constitution being this “living document” that can changed to accommodate today’s social debauchery, yet Candace Owens was one of those frame of reference-challenged millennials who believed it must evolve because she said so. Also, Owens didn’t think much of candidate Donald Trump, but as he can now do great things for her, the tune has been conveniently changed.

But none of this matters because, again, condescending white conservatives are too arrogant to admit to the fact they’ve been conned.

Candace Owens is in way over her big head on this one and if black conservatives had access to the technology of today years ago, they’d probably be the first to tell you that it will take more than a few hundred thousand followers and hashtags to lure multitudes of blacks off the social program Democrat-dependency LBJ deployed decades ago.

And until conservatives stop using blacks when convenient, telling them who they should follow and why, they won’t be much different than Democrats.

We’ll just be their “friends” when it’s okay to be seen with or serve them.

To make matters worse, the template of superficiality has permeated down to the next generation of so-called “conservative” leaders whose main goal is not to be a living, breathing example of our values but self-promoting provocateurs who go to hostile college campuses: not to share and defend those values but to be video-recorded being met with the expected mayhem for viral social media product and the possibility of the Holy Grail: a segment on Fox News for more self-adulation.

While being given prominent places on the 2018 stage, millennials like Tomi Lahren, Candice Owens, Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk have been knighted the new stars of the movement despite limited life experience and even worse, dubious support for the Republican Party and our president. They are arrogantly honest, albeit of questionable intelligence, and being able to prance from college into a prominent nonprofit gig hasn’t hurt them.

We have Austin Petersen, who ran for president under the Libertarian party, who is a total Never Trumper. We have Ben Shapiro, who is like the leading Never Trump voice, we have libertarian speakers such as Dave Rubin. We want big names, people that draw attention, and you know what? There’s going to be a lot of contradictory statements. We’re cool with that. There’s going to be Alex Epstein in a shirt that says ‘I love fossil fuels’ and we’re going to have speakers talking about how conservatives should better embrace the idea of climate change. It shows that we as Turning Point we embrace conservatives, libertarians, people in the middle.
— Charlie Kirk, 12/23/17

How much of a rising star is Kirk really? Ask another wannabe as they compliment each other while they also believe, in their arrogance, they are telling us all something we’ve never heard before just because THEY are saying it.

“Smartest conservative in the movement“…? Puh-leez.

And why did Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA bring on a willing attention whore like Candace Owens?

Insincere damage control.

Former employees say that they were directed to work with prominent conservatives, including the wife of the Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, in aid of Republican Presidential candidates in 2016. Perhaps most troubling for an organization that holds up conservatives as the real victims of discrimination in America, Turning Point USA is also alleged to have fostered an atmosphere that is hostile to minorities. Screenshots provided to me by a source show that Crystal Clanton, who served until last summer as the group’s national field director, sent a text message to another Turning Point employee saying, “i hate black people. Like fuck them all . . . I hate blacks. End of story.“

If that wasn’t bad enough….

Or the woman who effectively replaced Clanton, 22-year-old Shialee Grooman, who tweeted in 2013….

— Turning Point USA Keeps Accidentally Hiring Racists, Huffington Post, 4/25/18

See a pattern?

Charlie Kirk urgently needed a damage-control black face, found a more-than-willing and ready one from the ghetto of Stamford, Connecticut.

Candace Owens, despite the smiles, doesn’t think much of real conservatives and has openly said as much. That is, until in futility she attempts to scrub the evidence of her social justice warrior past. (see Degree180 founder: Candace Owens)

Degree180 launched a full-scale investigation into the bat-shit-crazy antics of the Republican Tea Party and the results are not-so-shocking to say the least:

Yes, we can officially confirm that our beloved Republican Tea Party is being led by the Mad Hatter and us millennials have been thrust into their wonderland. The good news is, they will eventually die off (peacefully in their sleep, we hope), and then we can get right on with the OBVIOUS social change that needs to happen, IMMEDIATELY.

So what can expect to happen when that last tea-party coffin is sealed?

Frankly, me and my millennial peers did not exactly understand why it was such a big deal that Bill Clinton got a blow job in his office. I don’t care who my doctor, banker, grocery-bagger, or any other person that I may come across in my daily life is having sex with– AS LONG AS THEY DO THEIR FUCKING JOBS. All of that talk about “but his morals” gets you nothing but a mandatory STFU from me.
— Candace Owens, 10/4/15

Kirk also has a history of unforced, clumsy remarks.

Kirk grew up in Wheeling, Illinois, and was an Eagle Scout; in a 2015 speech to the Conservative Forum of Silicon Valley, he said that his “No. 1 dream in life” was to attend West Point, but the slot he considered his went to “a far less-qualified candidate of a different gender and a different persuasion” whose test scores he claimed he knew. (Kirk said he was being sarcastic when he made the comment.) Kirk acknowledged in an interview that it is something of an irony that he heads an organization devoted to waging political warfare on campuses when he never actually attended college himself. “I joke that I wasn’t smart enough to go to a four-year school,” Kirk told me, although he noted that he continued his studies at a community college.
— The New Yorker, 12/21/17

As many of these “woke” millennials were either still in high school or early in the college years, there was a time when the Paulies were considered a virus trying to infect the Republican Party.

They were all about infiltration and the forced integration of their libertarian views: views they’ve now re-branded as “conservatarian” and we all know liberals constantly re-brand to fool their opponents.

These are the people who say when they are around libertarians they feel conservative, and when they are around conservatives they feel libertarian. From what I can see the fault lines are that they disagree with libertarians on immigration, foreign policy, and sometimes abortion. And they disagree with traditional conservatives on federalism, on gay marriage, and on drugs.
— Charles Cooke, writer for National Review, author of The Conservatarian Manifesto: Libertarians, Conservatives, and the Fight for the Right’s Future

The sad thing is too many conservatives don’t dig into the background of cash vacuums who create nothing, are declared “brilliant” to the uniformed for saying things NEVER said before [sarc], while concealing their true self-serving political motivations.

What’s sad, again, is how quickly conservatives embrace race-victim infiltrators (see: Stacey Dash, Joy Villa) without the minimum of vetting.

So we have CPAC throwing at us well-funded #NeverTrumpers (thanks, Foster Friess) who have yet to own up and formally apologize for the inter-party interference they caused in 2016, and those narcissistic “edgy” millennials who spend more time on social media touting how they “destroyed” this person or “blew up” Twitter; not because they said anything really new but because they say they did.

Candace Owens & Kanye West Are Leading Black Revolution

A scary prospect, especially when clueless white conservatives anoint those “leading” anything black.

Here’s some examples of the original, groundbreaking revelations Kirk and Owens have shared with a world only THEY can change!

Kirk: Armed guards are good enough to protect our banks, celebrities, sporting events, concerts, airports and athletes but not our schools?
Kirk: Government Taxes Us Every Chance It Gets
Kirk: The Media Wants To See Trump Fail
Owens: Facts Upset Liberals
The Left Uses Racism To Control Black Americans
Kirk: Your gender or color of your skin should not dictate what ideas you have or political party you support
Owens: Liberals Are Tolerant Until You Disagree
Bad Teachers Need to be Fired
Kirk: Liberals would much rather see rich people become poor than poor people become rich
Leftists Hate Diversity
Kirk: The Left Hates The Idea That There Are Other Ideas

And in yet another astonishing bit of ironic narcissism on display, Shapiro issued the following ironic gem with regards to the “student” movement that arose following the Parkland shooting.

Stop Making Children Into Moral Authorities
There is something deeply perverse about using children to promote a political agenda. Children simply don’t know anything about politics. Sometimes children ask questions that help us rethink the world because they’ve had little experience with it — when my 4-year-old daughter asks questions about the universe, that prompts me to further learning and research. But she doesn’t have answers, because she’s a child.
— Ben Shapiro, 3/21/18

Shapiro comes off as a petulant child to many of us so his words almost come off as a punchline.

Ben Shapiro is 34. That means he was in diapers when some of us were initially pushing back against the Clinton machine and agenda at a time when there was no such thing as a blog or a consumer-ready Internet to distribute thin musings on a moments notice. He is only where he is today because of those who fought, and in some cases, lost much to create forums like those he exploits for personal attention today.

Nothing like having a “talk radio” program, pre-recorded so he can pontificate while not having to lower himself and engage with actual listeners.

Heaping attention and praise upon the modesty-challenged is a reflection on their lack of self-discipline mixed with that delusion of grandeur.

Technically speaking, the 24-year-old Charlie Kirk still lives with his parents, though he spent 338 days on the road last year on Turning Point USA business. On his frequent visits to Washington, D.C., Kirk most often stays at the Trump International Hotel.
— Politico, 4/6/18

BTW, for those who donate to Turning Point USA, room rates at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. range from $364 to $945 per night. Wanna bet he stays in a “suite” that runs from $945 to $4,429 per night? Of course, that doesn’t include food and all the other expenses involved with luxury travel but who cares; it’s not HIS money.

The one thing all of these millennial usurpers have in common? They want fame, fortune, demand access, attention, our support and money while looking down upon us and strategically redefining “conservative principles”.

What Exactly Is a ‘Conservatarian’?
Which brings us back to the original question — is “conservatarianism” a new, tech-minded branch of libertarianism, or is it the same old philosophy with a shiny new buzzword? The term seems to be just another addition to the lexicon of political flavors — are you a techno-utopian, a Randian idealist, or a run-of-the-mill nihilist?
— The Atlantic, 7/14

Maybe they should invest the time living and learning what conservative principles and morals are before imposing their superior knowledge to those they hope “die off”.

Until ALL of the #NeverTrump-ers and the spawn they’ve created sincerely apologize for the damage they did to the Party and our presidential nominee in 2016 (which the narcissistic arrogant seldom do with any level of sincerity)some of us will be in full #resist mode. After all, they showed us how to do it.

UPDATE

How long does it takes for those with the resources to finally start catching up and vet those who want (not earned)to be stars? Don’t count on the right. We’re truly beginning to question the ability of conservatives in the “media” to actually do their job while acquiescing real reporting, albeit late, to the left.

Even by the whiplash-inducing standards of Trumpworld, Candace Owens’ rise has been fast. In November, amid allegations of racial bias, the conservative campus advocacy group Turning Point USA hired Owens, who is black, as its director of urban engagement.

Owens, suddenly a new face of the American right, was less than two years ago the CEO of an online publication that frequently mocked then-candidate Trump, including conducting a mock “investigation” into his penis size. (The story determined that it was likely very small.) And in a 2015 column for the site lambasting conservative Republicans, Owens wrote that it was “good news” that the “Republican Tea Party … will eventually die off (peacefully in their sleep, we hope).”

How long have we been putting that out there to conservative crickets or arrogant denial?

Indeed, the speed with which Owens has gone from running a frequently anti-Trump, anti-conservative website to being one of the president’s most prominent new supporters illustrates the wild land grab still going on for influence in the pro-Trump ecosystem.

Most of Owens’ writing for Degree180 was not political. Much of it was personal, including essays about her struggle with anorexia, inspirational exhortations, a fierce essay titled “Fuck Girl Code: I Can Hook Up With Your Ex-Boyfriend If I Want,” and advice about how to get prescription stimulants “without so much as a doctor’s evaluation.” (The site seems to have stopped publishing new material in December 2016.)
— BuzzFeed, 5/15/18

Granted, we’re not the greatest fans of BuzzFeed, but this was not an exercise in Pulitzer-level digging. It’s just too many on the right could be bothered to look, let alone even know where.

There are many conservatives who dutifully work behind-the-scenes to advance causes and push back against liberal policies and laws they deem harmful. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of people who’ve just discovered an issue, are outraged, post a rant on social media, and become an overnight sensation. One would want to believe their intentions are sincerely about an issue, but in the instant-gratification world we live in, coupled with audiences that are quick to show praise without examining possible motivation, we’re now being inundated with narcissists who believe they have something to say; something we’ve never heard about until they came along and now want to be the next Moses to take us all to the Promised Land.

This Tweet really sums it up.

At least he didn’t wear a Trump dress.

Note the arrogance here as Lutchman assumes, despite his limited life-experience (he’s 23), “No one is talking enough about the left’s racial discrimination of black conservatives!” and there are “many other issues” HE wants to bring to the forefront. Newsflash: many have been talking about this for decades. Obviously, he just hasn’t been led by the hand and shown where to look.

But he’s not alone, the motivations are almost totally self-serving, and Fox News is the Holy Grail to many in the movement because it can now literally lead to a job in and around the Trump White House, even though some fought against him during the 2016 presidential primary.

We sadly know many conservatives who are issue-illiterate because if they didn’t see it on Fox News, it never happened. What’s worse are those who know what the conservative media believes their audience prefers and are quick to oblige.

If Mr. Lutchman was really paying attention, he’d know his chances of making it anywhere near FNC are pretty low because he’s probably not very secure walking in six-inch heels. If he does get an opportunity to appear, it will be about one topic and one topic only: race, and those opportunities will be limited to a specific, breaking event.

But this is not at all just about black conservatives by any means. There are many out there whose overall goal is not just the mission but personal stardom, at least stardom as they personally define it.

As a guest and studio supervisor for on-air talent who appeared via remote “drop”, getting on Fox News was an overrated experience. You’re only on for less than four minutes and much of that time is the host setting up the segment to the audience and then giving his or her opinion, leaving that person steered into saying he or she agrees with the host as often as possible.

But if it’s all about being famous and becoming the latest conservative “it”, go for it and don’t expect everyone to blindly go into seal-clap mode. In the case of those who’ve just discovered black conservatism, they will find all the praise they desire on Facebook and Twitter.

Doing something that really makes a difference?

Uh oh. That’s too hard and it’s clear some wouldn’t even know where to start.
