‘The racism of low expectations': Sunny Hostin says black people aren’t capable of getting IDs



Critics of voter ID who argue minorities are barred from voting because it’s too difficult for them to get to the DMV fail to see that their whining about marginalization is actually fueled by racism.

Take “The View’s” Sunny Hostin as an example. In a recent interview, Hostin said, “Black people don’t have cars, don’t have drivers licenses, so it’s sort of a vestige of post-slavery laws where black people had to prove their right to vote, and oftentimes they couldn't vote because they couldn't pass some crazy test or they didn't have the appropriate ID.”

“It's a brilliant notion that less voter ID laws allows more people to vote, and most democracies do it that way. We're the only ones that really don't do it that way,” she added.

“That’s an absolute lie,” says Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed.” “The racism of low expectations might be the worst kind of racism of all.”

“Your normal run-of-the-mill racism — that's just based on ignorance. But this — the racism of low expectations — for that you have to believe, as so many of these left-wing elitist numbskulls do, that blacks are incapable of obtaining a photo ID, which is so incredibly demeaning,” he sighs. “It means that you believe they're too stupid, too lazy, too incompetent.”

“Not only can you not figure out how to obtain this impossible task of a photo ID or where such a thing might be located, but they also think you can't scrape together the five bucks” it takes to pay for an ID.

While Sunny Hostin might be dumb enough to actually believe that, Pat knows what the Democrat Party is really after: not equity but dependency.

Democrats need minorities to “have to depend on the benevolent benefactors on the left to continue to take care of them their whole lives,” he says, calling the notion “so condescending” and “so insulting.”

“But this is what the left has always done to minorities. They keep them dependent on their liberal lords and ladies — their betters. To them, blacks are just cattle, and they — the elitists — are the ranchers,” he explains.

As a result of minorities’ devotion to the Democrat Party, “they're going to continue to treat [them] like garbage, as they have for the past several centuries; they're going to continue to lead [them] around by the nose and make sure that [they] never exceed their incredibly low expectations,” says Pat.

Charles Barkley says Stephen A. Smith presidential run likely started as a joke: 'Knock it off'



NBA legend Charles Barkley said he would never vote for NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith, and Democrats are in danger of losing his vote forever if they run him.

"Calm down, Stephen A. — and Stephen A. is one of my friends," Barkley said on a recent episode of the Sports Illustrated podcast "SI Media with Jimmy Traina."

Smith has been openly flirting with the idea of politics since the 2024 election cycle, talking seriously about the candidates and speaking on divisive topics.

In November, he told the hosts of "The View" that he would consider running for president if he felt he had a "legitimate shot" to win.

"I'm half joking, but I kind of mean it," Smith said, per Sportsnaut. "I mean, I have no desire to be a congressional figure or a senator, but if you came to me and you told me I had a legitimate shot to win the presidency of the United States of America, I would definitely consider it."

It was that half joke that Barkley may have been referring to when he told the ESPN host he needed to "knock it off."

'I would not even consider voting for anybody else.'

"Come on, man. Stop it. Come on," Barkley continued. "It had to start out as a joke, and he started taking it serious. Come on, man. All I would say is, 'Knock it off.' And that's the best way to phrase it."

Host Jimmy Traina noted that the idea of running for president as a joke was long theorized about President Trump when he first decided to run in the 2016 federal election.

"The funny thing is that's what everyone says happened with Trump; he first started it as a joke because 'The Apprentice' was getting canceled. Now, you're saying Stephen A., like, you would think it's starting as like, 'Oh, let me get some attention for 'First Take,' I just got my big contract.' But now it's like he's on ABC Sunday morning saying, 'You know I got to run.'"

Barkley, forever game to talk about any issue, revealed that he would not consider voting for the Democratic Party unless it runs either Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania (D) or Governor Wes Moore of Maryland (D).

"I would not even consider voting for anybody else other than one of those two," Barkley said.

Interestingly, Barkley added that even though Trump cannot run again, the Hall of Fame player said he would not vote for Trump because he's "just not my cup of tea."

When Traina plainly asked if Barkley would vote for Smith, Barkley replied, "No. Hard No."

Smith recently signed a five-year, $100 million contract extension with ESPN — a contract that would certainly cut into any 2028 presidential bid.

Levin: The left wants to SMASH the Constitution — here’s the proof



The Democrats might claim they want to preserve the Constitution, but the radical leftists they platform clearly couldn’t be less interested.

One of those radical leftists is Elie Mystal, an American political commentator, who reveals his own rewriting of the Constitution in a recent segment on “The View.”

“When Democrats come into office, they come in with, like, super glue and tape, and so they try to put things back together. So I thought about writing 10 constitutional amendments that would be super cool if we had,” Mystal told the ladies on the panel.

“I was like, ‘No, no, no. We need to smash the things that they like. We need to smash the things that are holding this country back,’” Mystal continued. “And so I came up with 10 laws that we could just be rid of. Not reform, not update for the modern era. Ten things that we can smash if we ever are allowed to get power again that would make this country better tomorrow.”


“So this guy’s saying that we need to smash everything that you and I stand for,” Mark Levin of “LevinTV” says, disturbed. “It’s just this hate America stuff, it’s just incredible.”

In his segment on “The View,” Mystal claimed that everything put into law before the 1965 Voting Rights Act was passed should be ignored.

“Even the 1964 Civil Rights Act? We should ignore that, too?” Levin asks. “See, the 1964 Civil Rights Act preceded the 1965 Voting Rights Act, because that was actually called the 1965 Civil Rights Act, and they were subsequent to the 1866 Civil Rights Act. And they were also subsequent to the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States.”

“The 13th Amendment officially abolishing slavery, the 14th Amendment ensuring that all freed slaves, black people, would be treated like citizens. The equal protection clause and due process clause of the Fifth Amendment applied to every single state through the 14th Amendment,” he continues.

“Should we ignore those, too? Well, who voted for them? Mostly white people and mostly white legislatures. You get my drift? In fact, who fought the Civil War? Obviously blacks fought, too. The overwhelming majority of the soldiers in the North were white. See, this race game doesn’t exactly play out like they hope, wish that it would.”

“Think about this idiot,” he continues, adding, “He thinks he’s clever. It’s because he doesn’t have anybody with an IQ over a pickle in order to respond to him.”

Celebs under siege! Whoopi muzzled, Young fears gulag as Trump reign of terror continues



Whoopi Goldberg is suddenly super concerned about free speech.

The batty co-host of “The View” said nothing as conservatives were silenced in Hollywood ... the Twitter Files erased right-leaning voices – scientists got punished during the COVID-19 outbreak ... the Biden administration attempted to set up a Ministry of Speech (and we could go on).

'If I talk about Donald J. Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminum blanket.'

Now, she thinks President Donald Trump is attacking speech. And she’s hella angry and, apparently, confused.

What I really want, what I want more than anything, is I want them to stop fooling around with my right to say what I feel ... I don’t like being threatened. I don’t like being — I don’t like people running up on me. You don’t like what I say. This is America. I grew up here, and the one thing I always knew is I had freedom of speech, and every time, every time somebody says, "You know, I don’t like what they said, so I’m shutting down PBS."

Because removing public funding from PBS is akin to squashing speech.

It’s exhausting to cite Goldberg’s brain drain, but we’ll never tire of pointing out her hypocrisy ...

Old man

Neil Young once headlined a Freedom of Speech Tour in the Bush era. Years later, the faux hippie tried to get Joe Rogan booted off Spotify for sharing the “wrong” information on COVID-19. Never mind that Rogan was more right than wrong, and legacy media got plenty dead wrong.

It looked like Young had shredded his hippie bona fides. He couldn’t sink any lower. Inconceivable!

Oh, yes he could.

Now, Young is complaining that he’d like to tour the U.S., but President Donald Trump may not allow it.

“If I talk about Donald J. Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminum blanket. ... That is happening all the time now. ... If I come back from Europe and am barred, can’t play my USA tour, all of the folks who bought tickets will not be able to come to a concert by me.”

Funny he should mention Europe. In Germany, police will knock on your door if you post the “wrong” social media meme. “60 Minutes” did a whole segment on that dystopian reality.

And that’s currently happening in England, too. Why, it’s the kind of situation a free speech warrior might rage against.

Not Young.

This hippie hack better lay low before he decimates the rest of his once-sterling brand ...

Fifth 'Wick' flick sticks

Even Keanu Reeves can’t say no to John Wick.

The now-60-year-old star had publicly suggested his days as the fearless hit man were over. After all, his title character died in the fourth installment. That seems pretty permanent. Plus, the actor admitted his age is starting to creep up on him.

Then again, if Tom Cruise can do his own stunts at 62, surely an "active senior" like Reeves can keep his signature franchise going.

Yeah, we're thinking he's back.

Get ready for a fifth “John Wick” installment. It’s official. Hollywood is desperate for as many sure things as it can muster. If that means Reeves must keep his Wickian beard into his 70s, so be it ...

Hate-night TV

Satirists get away with rhetorical murder these days. Remember when Stephen Colbert said, during the height of the Russian collusion hoax, that the “only thing [Trump’s] mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s BLEEP holster.”

Bet he’d like to take that vulgar joke back. Or maybe not. Colbert isn’t too worried about truthful gags.

Now, far-left “funnyman” John Oliver may be wishing he wasn’t so loose with his tongue. A health care insurance executive is suing the HBO star for comments he made on “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.”

Dr. Brian Morley says Oliver “knowingly and falsely” defamed him. The comments in question came last April when Oliver launched into yet another profane rant that seemed disconnected from comedy.

“F*** that doctor with a rusty canoe,” and “I hope he gets tetanus of the balls.” He later added that Morley “thinks it’s OK if people have s*** on them for days.”

Morley wants the episode in question to be removed from all platforms. He also seeks financial restitution.

We’ll leave the matter to the lawyers, and it’s likely given Oliver’s satirical status he’ll survive the suit. If Dr. Morley is successful, the face of today’s hate-night TV might look very different.

Dylan Mulvaney, 'The View' try doing theology — but it goes comically wrong



It should go without saying: Don't tune into "The View" for lessons on God and theology.

But that didn't stop the progressive talk show from recently veering into theology while interviewing transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, using the assertion that "God doesn't make mistakes" to defend and promote transgender ideology.

First, Mulvaney claimed "God doesn't make mistakes" while explaining that his "conservative Catholic" family has come to terms with his decision to be transgender after he allegedly discovered his transgender identity at age 4. Later, while discussing transgender athletes, Whoopi Goldberg doubled down on the astounding theological claim.

  • Mulvaney: "I think my mom said something along the lines of, ‘God doesn’t make mistakes.’ ... I don’t think God sees me as a mistake, and I actually am still really trying to keep a relationship with the higher power because I think that, you know, trans and queer people are entitled to that if that’s what they’re looking for."
  • Goldberg: "I'm not sure what's going on or why this is an issue. The same for me as when people say, 'Oh, you know, I don’t know how I feel about you.' You do. God doesn’t make mistakes. And the challenge is not to the trans people. It’s to the people who are not trans. That’s what God is looking to see, how you treat people."

Not so fast

On the surface, their claim about God is true.

Make no mistake about it: God doesn't make "mistakes." God creates every human being in His image with inherent worth, dignity, and purpose. This is an elementary understanding of Christian theology in general, and with regard to human bodies specifically, the basic claim of Christian anthropology.

Instead of defending trans ideology, they showed how God's perfect design and the trans agenda cannot coexist.

But a closer examination of their assertion reveals a blinding contradiction: affirming trans ideology stipulates that God does make mistakes. That's because the framework of trans ideology is built on the idea that a trans-identifying person is "born in the wrong body" and that their "true" self is distinct (and different) from the truth of their biological body.

Not only does trans ideology assume that God makes mistakes, but the ideology necessarily affirms the idea that human intervention is required to remedy God's "mistakes."

Trans ideology attempts to overturn divine sovereignty and replace it with the secular god of human self-perception, a principle of our post-truth age.

But here is the truth: Our biological sex is not an accident, and our bodies are not mistakes that require human intervention to "correct." And because God is sovereign and because He doesn't make mistakes, it is our responsibility and duty to trust Him — especially when we don't understand or when our internal perception about our identity (and biological sex) is confused.

Every human is fearfully and wonderfully made, crafted by the hand of a loving God.

Commandment, broken

What Mulvaney and Goldberg claimed about God, when analyzed in its context, is a clear violation of the second law of the Ten Commandments.

"You shall not bear the name of the Lord your God in a vain and empty manner," Exodus 20:7 declares.

The command is not limited to our speech acts about God but certainly includes them. To use God's authority, as Mulvaney and Goldberg did, to defend an ideology contrary to God's design is a clear violation of the commandment because they are promoting a lie about God Himself (i.e., that transgenderism is congruent with His will and His plan for humanity).

Saying that "God doesn't make mistakes" in defense of trans ideology is a clear misrepresentation of God. They twisted a divine truth for their own means, ultimately using God as a rhetorical prop for the pro-trans agenda.

In other words, they bore the Lord's name in a vain and empty manner.

Irony alert

Claiming that "God doesn't make mistakes" to defend and promote trans ideology actually undermines the trans agenda.

If God's creation is without mistake, then the core idea of trans ideology — that a trans-identifying person was "born in the wrong body" and requires human intervention to correct the "mistake" — is wrong. If God doesn't make mistakes, then He did not mistakingly put anyone in the "wrong body."

The irony is strong.

Mulvaney and Goldberg want to use God's authority and His perfection to defend trans ideology, but they instead expose a flaw in their own worldview: If God's design of each human is intentional and without mistake, then the idea that a trans-identifying person needs to "correct" their body is an admission that trans ideology is built on a false premise, a lie. If God doesn't make mistakes, then there is no need for trans "corrective" measures.

The weight of the contradiction dismantles their argument.

In the end, their attempt at theology failed and backfired. Instead of defending trans ideology, they showed how God's perfect design and the trans agenda cannot coexist.

The only mistake here is the ideology that demands humans "correct" God's mistake-free design.

Chuck Schumer’s Softball ‘The View’ Interview Produces Home Run GOP Midterm Ad

Absurdly dumb...

Schumer tries to stay afloat as Democratic Party sinks



Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is scrambling to keep his career afloat following another disastrous week for Democrats.

Schumer's most recent political fiasco left Democrats more divided than ever. Last week, House Republicans passed their funding bill, which President Donald Trump endorsed, with all but one Democrat voting against it. Although the Trump-backed bill made it through, House Democrats were at least unified in their opposition.

But once the continuing resolution made its way to the Senate, Democrats changed their tune.

'We have a lot of good people,' Schumer said on CBS Tuesday. 'But I am the best at winning Senate seats.'

The Republican majority in the Senate needed Democratic support to ensure the CR cleared a procedural vote, ultimately averting a government shutdown. With the Friday deadline fast approaching, Democrats were left to decide if they wanted to throw their support behind the Trump-endorsed CR or to vote for a shutdown.

Schumer initially signaled his support for a shutdown, following in the footsteps of his colleagues in the House. But as the pressure mounted, Schumer reversed his position and said he would instead be voting to advance the CR. This decision sparked outrage within the Democratic Party, with prominent figures like former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) denouncing the tactic. In the end, 10 Senate Democrats joined 52 Republicans to advance the funding bill.

Although Schumer averted a shutdown, his Democratic Party remained fractured.

In the aftermath, the Democratic Party's favorability dropped to record lows, and many pinned the blame on Schumer. The overall reception of last week's political theatre was so negative, Schumer even postponed his highly anticipated book tour until the dust settled.

Even still, Schumer attempted to assure Democrats that he was still the "best leader for the Senate."

"We have a lot of good people," Schumer said on CBS Tuesday. "But I am the best at winning Senate seats."

Schumer continued his damage-control media tour, making an appearance on "The View" Tuesday. When the hosts pressed him about his leadership, Schumer tried to pin the blame on Trump.

"I wake up at three in the morning sometimes so worried about the future of the country under these oligarchs!” Schumer said. "We are fighting them tooth and nail in every way that we can, but you've got to fight them smart."

"I felt an obligation to stop it," Schumer added.
