Democrats reveal hypocrisy as SCOTUS ends Haitian protections: ‘Why is Haiti America’s responsibility?’



The Supreme Court's decision to allow the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for many Haitian migrants has triggered serious outrage from the left — and BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales can’t help but notice the glaring issues in leftist logic.

“Now, seems like it would be kind of common sense. It’s in the name. It’s the T in TPS. Temporary. Temporary. There is an actual definition of the word 'temporary.' It means 'not forever,'” Gonzales says, pointing out that they were supposed to have this status for months, but instead they have had it for nearly two decades.

“Democrats, Haitians, anyone who has the liberal brain rot — they're losing their entitled little minds about it,” she adds.

Founder and CEO of the Immigrant Family Services Institute Dr. Geralde Gabeau yelled to crowd cheers, “This is the time for all of us to raise our voices and to say this country is also our country, is also the country of our immigrant because we are the one who built it.”


“I’m going to go ahead and I’m going to ask you for your receipts, ma’am,” Gonzales comments.

“'Haitians built this country' is the argument that they made,” she adds.

However, celebrities have historically made their home sound like a place no one should want to leave, as Susan Sarandon, Conan O’Brien, and even Bill Maher all have donned shirts that read “Haiti is great already.”

“They were pretending like it was just this wonderful, beautiful country; it’s not a third-world s**t-hole,” Gonzales comments. “And now all of a sudden, they’re back to like, ‘No, no, you can’t send them back. No, don’t do that. It’s too big of a s**t-hole.’”

And CNN’s Jake Tapper is among those pleading.

“I heard Stephen Miller, who’s driving a lot of this, say that Haiti is safe for Haitians, and I just looked at the State Department’s website, and they have a level four 'do not travel' advisory for Haiti just from a few months ago,” Tapper said on CNN.

“Crimes include robbery, carjacking, sexual assault, and kidnappings for ransom. That doesn’t sound safe to me,” Tapper added.

“'Do not travel' is not for Haitians. That’s 'do not travel' for the United States. That advisory is to American citizens traveling to Haiti, not Haitians going back home,” Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin told Tapper.

“I understand that, but based on everything I’ve read, including the U.N. and Human Rights Watch, it doesn’t sound safe for Haitians. More than 8,100 killings documented last year. Those weren’t Americans. Haiti is among the top five countries with the highest rates of rape and sexual abuse, with more than 1,200 cases of sexual violence last year,” Tapper replied.

“So Haitians are making Haiti unsafe, and somehow we are expected to import them. These are criminals,” Gonzales comments.

“Why would it be our duty to import anyone from any unsafe country in the world?” she asks. “The obvious conclusion is you are only going to make our country less safe.”

Conan O'Brien calls out lazy Trump-hating comedians



Late-night host and writer Conan O'Brien says Trump-deranged comedians need to step up their game.

Speaking at the Oxford Union Society, the former talk-show host and "Simpsons" writer lamented that some in the comedy establishment have given up on laughs in favor of angry tirades about President Trump.

'We don't have a straight line right now. We have a very bendy, rubbery line.'

"I think some comics go the route of, 'I'm going to just say F Trump all the time' [and] that's their comedy. And I think, well, now, a little bit, you're being co-opted because you're so angry."

"You've been lulled," added the Harvard alum, likening the allure of crowd-pleasing but joke-free anti-Trump material to a siren song.

The comedian continued, "You've been lulled into just saying 'F Trump. F Trump. F Trump. Screw this guy.' I think you've now put down your best weapon, which is being funny, and you've exchanged it for anger."

Finding the funny

The 62-year-old noted that he has always prided himself on finding a way to be funny in any situation, and he did not give his peers an out when it comes to political comedy.

"Any person like that would say, 'Well, things are too serious now. I don't need to be funny.' I think, well, if you're a comedian, you always need to be funny. You just have to find a way," O'Brien told the audience at the esteemed student debating society.

"And you just have to find a way to channel that anger. ... Good art will always be a great weapon, will always be a perfect weapon against power, but if you're just screaming and you're just angry, you've lost your best tool in the toolbox."

Playing it straight

Earlier in the interview, O'Brien recalled that some of his most joyful memories in comedy were parodying different magazines or news outlets by mocking their tone and style. At the same time, he said it was impossible to parody something that doesn't follow a "straight line."

He referred to the National Enquirer, describing the outlet's content as impossible to make fun of because it would print stories like, "Elvis found in Titanic lifeboat 105 years after sinking. He is now a woman, and he's married a giant peanut-butter sandwich."

"How do you parody that? You can't," he explained. "And I think with Trump we have a similar situation in comedy, which is people saying, 'We've got a great Trump sketch for you. In this one, he's kind of talking crazy and he's saying stuff, and he tears down half the White House to build a giant ballroom, and he says it's going to be the new Mar-a-Lago.' Yeah, no, that happened yesterday," O'Brien joked.

"Comedy needs a straight line to go off of," O'Brien added. "And we don't have a straight line right now. We have a very bendy, rubbery line. We have a slinky. We have a fire hose that's whipping around, spewing water at 100 miles an hour or something else."

Sean Penn Blasts ‘Soviet’ Cancel Culture For Wrecking Hollywood With ‘Gotcha Moments’

Sean Penn said he thinks he would not be permitted today, by Hollywood's woke standards, to play Harvey Milk in the 2008 film 'Milk,' since he is not gay.

Conan O'Brien, leftist actor Sean Penn slam 'ludicrous' cancel culture as 'very Soviet'



Spawned in part from the progressive political correctness movement, cancel culture has become so broadly disfavored that even left-wing Hollywood elites are taking turns trashing it.

What happened?

During a July 5 episode of the podcast "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend," former late-night host Conan O'Brien and actor Sean Penn agreed that the practice of collectively ostracizing people and destroying their careers over past politically incorrect statements is worrisome.

"Empathy is a very important word and also forgiveness," O'Brien noted. "This whole concept of cancel culture is ... We found that someone did something in 1979 that is now not appropriate. They're dead to us."

"It's ludicrous," Penn, famous for starring in hit movies such as "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and "Mystic River," said.

"People can also be forgiven — if they even need forgiving. What happened to that?" O'Brien continued, adding, "It feels very Soviet sometimes."

At that point, Penn made reference to Alexi McCammond, the 27-year-old reporter who was pushed out of her role as editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue earlier this year after staff members unearthed and condemned offensive tweets about Asian people she posted as a teenager.

"When we're destroying careers like that, what are we really achieving?" Penn asked. "Or you look at politicians ... I give a big nod to anyone that's willing to enter the public arena who is doing so because they give a damn."

What else?

The conversation started with O'Brien heaping praise on Penn for his portrayal of San Francisco politician and gay rights activist Harvey Milk in the 2008 film "Milk." But Penn noted that a straight man portraying a gay character is likely not something that would be permitted in today's society.

"It brings up an interesting point," the actor said. "Another one I think a lot about these days. Today, almost certainly I would not be permitted to be cast in that role. We're living in a time when, if you're playing a gay lead character, you'd have to be a gay man, or a trans character. And there have been these casting issues."

He added: "When you have a period of evolution that certainly may [provide] an opportunity for people who have had less opportunities to move forward, that has to be supported. And yet in this pendulum swing society that we're in, you wonder at some point if only Danish Princes can play Hamlet. It is, I believe, too restrictive. People are looking for gotcha moments and to criticize."

Anything else?

While O'Brien's resistance to cancel culture may not be that surprising — comedians often make a living by telling controversial jokes — Penn's certainly is. The actor was quite literally a friend of communist strongman former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

It's fair to wonder if Penn bristled at O'Brien's description of cancel culture as "Soviet."

The actor also practiced his own version of public shaming not so long ago, when he attempted — but failed — to call out evangelical Christians.
