I Didn't Say It

RuPaul, finally speaking out, offhandedly, about the assault from the right on drag queens:

“Hey, look over there! A classic distraction technique, distracting us away from the real issues that they were voted into office to focus on: jobs, healthcare, keeping our children safe from harm at their own school. But we know that bullies are incompetent at solving real issues. They look for easy targets so they can give the impression of being effective. They think our love, our light, our laughter and our joy are signs of weakness. But they’re wrong because that is our strength. Drag queens are the Marines of the queer movement. Don’t get it twisted and don’t be distracted. Register to vote so we can get these stunt queens out of office and put some smart people with real solutions into government. And by the way, a social media post has never been as powerful as a registered vote.”

And along with a vote, Ru, we need people in positions of power, people with a fan base of sorts, to speak up and out and loudly.

D.L. Hughley, responding to the haters who don’t like Chris Rock talking Will and Jada in his new comedy special:

“If you love comedy, if you are a student of the art, if you are one of the few remaining people that allow for creative expression, then you walked away from this with the same sentiment. Side note … That happened to HIM, to CHRIS … and the ENTIRE WORLD got to weigh in and talk trash and make jokes and ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda’ the whole damn thing to death. OTHER COMEDIANS have bits about it, it was an opener for most of us. The ONE PERSON YOU NEVER HEARD FROM ABOUT IT WAS CHRIS!! So NOW, that HE decides to address it on HIS TIME, people have the audacity to say: ‘he’s bitter … Why is he still talking about that … let it go … or the best one WE’VE MOVED ON.’ So YOU got to speak on it but he can’t??? Y’all are a straight f*ckin trip.”

I rarely agree with Hughley but this time he was spot on; we heard from the entire world and from Will and Jada and their demon spawn, while the only one not talking was Rock. Now he has, and, for me, it was brilliant.

Tucker Carlson, the man who was caught on tape saying he doesn’t like Thing 45, trying to rewrite Insurrectionist History this week, proving yet again what most of us know: Fox Lies:

“Taken as a whole, the video record does not support the claim that January 6 was an insurrection. In fact, it demolishes that claim. And that’s exactly why the Democratic Party and its allies in the media prevented you from seeing it. By controlling the images you are allowed to view from January 6, they controlled how the public understood that day. They could lie about what happened and you would never know the difference. Those lies had a purpose. They created a pretext for a federal crackdown on opponents of the uniparty in Washington. The crowd was enormous. A small percentage of them were hooligans. They committed vandalism. You’ve seen their pictures again and again. But the overwhelming majority weren’t. They were peaceful. They were orderly and meek. These were not insurrectionists. They were sightseers.”

Sightseers don’t break into buildings, vandalize it, kill people, shit on the walls and ransack offices, Fucker. But let’s try this: let’s have “sightseers” head to Carlson’s house and break in and wipe their feces on his walls and steal his stuff and see how that little lying bitch complains and moans.

In addition, Fucker Carlson and his ilk at Fox “News” should be held responsible for 1/6/2022 because they knowingly lied about the election and spurred those ignorant MAGAt’s on.

Matt Walsh, Daily Wire host, saying that having a trans child is “a fate worse than death”:

“I hear from parents all the time, just these horror stories of, you know, I raised my kid, I did everything right. I even homeschooled. I did, whatever. And then one day my daughter at 16 comes home and declares that she’s a boy. And from that moment, it’s just she is devoured by this cult almost overnight and becomes unrecognizable. She wants nothing to do with us anymore. I’ve heard the story so many times and it’s terrifying. It’s horrific. You know, it’s—I think as a parent, it’s like a fate worse than death in a lot of ways. You’re losing your child. It’s like a death of a child while they’re still alive and—so that’s what makes it, I suppose, personal for me.”

He hears from parents ALL the time and yet doesn’t produce one parent to corroborate his story? It would be a fate worse than death to have Matt Walsh, ignorant, lying, transphobic bigot as your parent.

Michael Knowles, another host on The Daily Wire, speaking at CPAC about what to do with transgender people:

“The problem with transgenderism is not that it’s inappropriate for children under the age of 9. The problem with transgenderism is that it isn’t true. If [transgenderism] is false, then for the good of society… transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.”

How very Hitler of him. But keep in mind, he’s preaching to the GOP choir, which means we all need to vote, and get the hate out of Congress.

Steven Spielberg, on the of Anti-Semitism in the world today:

“I find it very, very surprising. Anti-Semitism has always been there, it’s either been just around the corner and slightly out of sight but always lurking, or it has been much more overt like in Germany in the ’30s. But not since Germany in the ‘30s have I witnessed Anti-Semitism no longer lurking, but standing proud with hands on hips like Hitler and Mussolini, kind of daring us to defy it. I’ve never experienced this in my entire life, especially in this country. Somehow, the marginalizing of people that aren’t part of some kind of a majority race is something that has been creeping up on us for years and years and years. Hate became a kind of membership to a club that has gotten more members than I ever thought was possible in America. And hate and antisemitism go hand in hand, you can’t separate one from the other. I think [Anne Frank was] right when she said that most people are good. And I think essentially at our core, there is goodness and there is empathy.”

Still, another quote springs to mind, attributed to many people, including Simon Wiesenthal:

“All it takes for evil to flourish, is for good men to do nothing.”

Stand up against the hate … the anti-Semites, the anti-drag queens, the anti-LGBTQ+, the anti-books, the anti-history, the anti-women …

I Ain't One To Gossip But ...


Redmond O’Neal, the son of Ryan O’Neal and Farrah Fawcett, has been in jail awaiting trial for attempted murder, among other charges, since last May. 

It all began when Redmond ALLEGEDLY tried to rob a Venice Beach 7/11 with a knife, ALLEGEDLY punched a man in the head who tried to speak to him, ALLEGEDLY stabbed someone in the face at the Venice boardwalk, and ALLEGEDLY attacked another man with a bottle.

The ALLEGED victim of that last assault is Ken Fox, and he claims that the attack was a hate crime and so he’s suing Redmond for $100 million in damages.

Note to Ken: if Redmond is trying to rob a 7/11, he probably doesn’t have 100 pennies to pay you.

Nothing alleged about that but here’s the story … Ken was walking down the street when Redmond passed and said:
“What are you looking at, f****t?”
Before he could respond, Fox says O’Neal hit him in the head with a bottle and broke his nose. Fox fell to the ground and O’Neal began punching him as he hurled more expletives.

Shortly after that attack, Fox filed a lawsuit seeking damages “in excess of $25,000” but now he claims to have suffered $200,000 in medical expenses and will incur medical costs in the future totaling $1 million. He says he’s lost $200,000 in earnings and claims he will suffer a loss of future earnings totaling $5,000,000.

Still, not $100 million, but Fox tacked on another million for attorneys’ fees, $50,000,000 for “civil penalties” and then another $20 million in punitive damages.

From a guy who doesn’t have a penny to his name.
Madonna’s got an album, Madame X, to push, so she’s out there working the streets like a two-dollar whore trying to steal the spotlight from the hordes from female singers already on the stroll.

Facing down Swifty, Ariana, Beyoncé and even, yes, Paula Abdul, Madge spoke to British Vogue to declare that she has no role models that are breathing because “no one does what I do”.

Sing, badly; dance okay, curse like a sailor, and refuse to grow up?

Madonna says it’s “scary” being who she is because she’s a true original … ::: cough ::: … Cher …::: cough ::: … and being 60 and still in the game … ::: cough ::: … Cher …::: cough ::: …:
“There are no living role models for me. Because nobody does what I do. ‘I can look back at women who I think were great and amazing – freedom fighters, like Simone de Beauvoir or Angela Davis – but they didn’t have kids.”
Wait, so she’s Angela Davis with kids?

Dear god, someone get this woman to a therapist because she’s fully delusional now.

Oh, and one last thing … Cher.
Hollywood never seems to know what to do with women in their forties. I mean, they’re no longer the sexy twenty-something, or the hot mom in her thirties. What to do, what to do.

Well, in the case of 43-year-old Charlize Theron, it’s to offer her to role of Wonder Woman’s mom, even though Wonder Woman is played by 34-year-old Gal Gadot.

Charlize was on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live when a caller asked her if it was true that she was offered the role of Wonder Woman:
“[No.] I did not turn the role of Wonder Woman down. … So, somebody had said to me, ‘Oh, there’s action on this thing, Wonder Woman, we just want to make you aware of it.’ And I was like, ‘I’m just not familiar with it, what does Wonder Woman do?’ And this person said, ‘No, it’s for Wonder Woman’s mom.’”
Meaning Charlize gave birth to Gal when she was nine?

Understand this: Robert Downey Jr was offered the role of Iron Man when he was 44 years old, but Charlize at 43 can only be Wonder Woman’s mother?

The role eventually went to Connie Nielsen who is 53 … almost twenty years older than Gal.
It wasn’t but a hot minute ago that we learned that Wendy Williams was divorcing her cheating husband Kevin Hunter and that he was begging for forgiveness and the chance to come home. Things change quickly because now Kevin is not coming home, he’s coming for Wendy’s coins.

Kevin Hunter has apparently found out that babies and mistresses are expensive, so he’s demanding Wendy pay him child support—for their almost 19-year-old son—and spousal support.

Oh, and he says Wendy should foot the bill for their son’s college expenses.

Looks like Kevin Hunter just wants to impregnate women and have someone else take care of everyone for him.

How in the world did it take so long or Wendy to dump the deadbeat?
Well, someone in Hollywood is putting their money where their mouth is … or taking their money and walking away?

Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television is leaving CBS’ legal drama Bull in the wake of the sexual harassment allegations against star Michael Weatherly. Spielberg, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey served as executive producers on Bull for its first three seasons and will no longer do so. .

Bull, a solid ratings performer for CBS, was recently renewed for a fourth season, even after becoming the center of controversy over sexual harassment allegations against Weatherly by then-co-star Eliza Dushku, which resulted in a $9.5 settlement with the actress by CBS.

Spielberg and his wife Kate Capshaw have been major supporters of the Time’s Up movement from the start, and after meeting with Dushku,  Spielberg no longer wanted to be associated with the series.

Dushku detailed her allegations in a Boston Globe op-ed, including what she described as the toxic atmosphere on the show, as well as lewd comments Weatherly ALLEGEDLY made toward that led her to filing a formal complaint after which she was fired. Weatherly denied having been part of Dushku’s firing but admitted that he engaged in behavior that was “both not funny and not appropriate,” saying he was “sorry” and that he regretted the pain he had caused the actress.

Meaning he’s a pig, and because of his piggish ways, Spielberg is out.

Big mistake, Weatherly, huge.
