We’re tracking the conservative culture clash with woke Hollywood hypocrites to keep you up to date on who’s winning and who we hate. 

 Here’s what happened today:

Brutal Backlash

Liberal actress Bette Midler caught plenty of flack for posting a political cartoon likening the 1921 Tulsa race massacre to the 2021 Capitol riot along with the caption, “White rage has always gotten a free pass.” 

“Disgusting,” one replier wrote. “You are trivializing the Tulsa tragedy & using it as a political prop. You demean those who suffered in that tragedy. The only homicide on Jan 6th (by dc med examiner) was an unarmed female vet killed by a capitol police officer. You use her death as a prop too. Vile.”

“So everyone actually being arrested and investigated for what happened on Jan. 6th is just a free pass?” another user questioned. “How does that line up with all the protesters in Portland getting released without prosecution no matter how many times they try to burn down a building with people in it.”

 

Ridiculous Praise

Comedian Kathy Griffin, who once posed with a severed paper mache head of Donald Trump, tweeted support for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after she blamed the former president for her Puerto Rican grandmother’s illness.  

AOC tweeted, “Just over a week ago, my [grandmother] fell ill. I went to Puerto Rico to see her- my 1st time in a year+ bc of COVID. This is her home. Hurricane María relief hasn’t arrived. Trump blocked relief $ for PR. People are being forced to flee ancestral homes, & developers are taking them.”

Griffin replied, “Thank you for doing a great job. You represent Americans better than we represent ourselves.”

But pundit Glenn Greenwald had the last laugh when he called out Griffin in the tweet below: 

 

Candice Owens and Matt Walsh took digs directly at Ocasio-Cortez for her post. “I would never allow my grandfather to live in squalor and then post it on the internet to score political points,” Owens wrote. “You rake in corrupt millions. Stop being disgusting and get your grandmother a better home.”

“Shameful that you live in luxury while allowing your own grandmother to suffer in these squalid conditions,” Walsh added

 

Star-Spangled Bill

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban ordered his team to stop playing the national anthem prior to games back in February. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick called the decision “a slap in the face to every American & an embarrassment to Texas. Sell the franchise & some Texas Patriots will buy it. We ARE the land of free & the home of the brave.”

Patrick made it a priority to get the “Star-Spangled Banner Protection Act,” which requires the anthem to be played at pro sports games unless teams want to lose state funding, to Texas Legislature. The bill passed last week and is waiting to be signed by Gov. Greg Abbott.

 

Equity Agenda

Popstar Taylor Swift used the beginning of gay “Pride Month” to push President Biden’s equity act. “I want to take a moment to thank the courageous activists, advocates and allies for their dedication to fighting against discrimination and hatred,” she announced. “And as always, today I’m sending my respect and love to those bravely living out their truth, even when the world we live in still makes that so hard to do.”

“Who you love and how you identify shouldn’t put you in danger, leave you vulnerable and hold you back in life,” she continued. “I proudly join GLAAD in their #summerofequality and add my voice to those who support the Equality Act,” she added. “Happy Pride Month!”

 

Memorial Day Diss

Country Star Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany took a swipe at Vice President Kamala Harris for sending a May 29 tweet that said, “Enjoy the long weekend,” but failed to mention military personnel.  

“Our family doesn’t take Memorial Day lightly, it’s more than a ‘long weekend.’ [Jason Aldean] and I both come from military families and understand the importance our loved ones and others have sacrificed for us, and our freedom,” Aldean wrote on Instagram. “We fly our flag high… EVERY SINGLE DAY. It’s the least we can do to show our appreciation.”

 

Drag Singalong

Nickelodeon’s animated show “Blue’s Clues,” which is aimed at preschool-aged children featured “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Nina West, who led a singalong teaching kids about LBTQA+ families.  

“This family has two mommies, they love each other so proudly, and they all go marching in the big parade!” West croons as the cartoon depicts trans, non-binary, and gay families as different animals.

These self proclaimed”Liberals” – they are nothing of the sort – call them what they ate – NAZI’S – push for abortions – push their gay agenda – and push for everyone to to get the COVID vaccines – which have been reported to cause sterility in birthing aged females. Do they have a death wish. If we follow their guidelines in about 80-100 years humanity will not exist.

Evil is showing up more and more…. This was written about long ago in a book many people have but don’t read. It explains how times like this will get even worse. Violence will increase and immorality will increase. Prophecy coming true before our very eyes. How can people not get it? Your next breath is not promised to you. Be ready to meet your Creator. It will happen sooner than most people think.

A prophet is known by the fruits of his labor.
An obscure unknown farm boy, told of going to a silent place on his father’s farm and there he determined to get an answer. In the KJV, it does say that if you ask of God with true intent, He will answer.
I’ll give the 14 yr old boy a name……Joseph.
Joseph said that as soon as he began his prayer, a dark force bore him down and he felt that it would destroy him. But immediately he saw 2 personages standing together above the ground. One personage called him by name, saying, Joseph, this is My Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, hear Him.
From that day until Joseph was brutally murdered, he told of many things that did happen. I call that true prophecy.
Joseph told where the Civil war would start. He also spoke about the constitution and how it would hang in the balance like a thread and the boys from the mountains would step forth and save it!
He also spoke of another civil war. Where there would be a million soldiers over seas and a million at home. The nations would say, look America is weak, let us go and buy her up.
He also said that the black man would be a thorn in side of the white man. Now that is happening now!
Joseph is a true prophet, and his predecessors are in fact true prophets, also!
I’ve seen many of their prophecies come true. From personal experiences, I know that there is one, and only one true Church on the face of this earth, and is His Church, His Church that belongs to Him, must carry His Name, the Church of Jesus Christ.
The full name is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
There I said it, and I will stand by my testimony that it is a true testimony of what happened to an obscure farm boy from New York.

These elitists seem to forget that their claim to fame was thru EQUITY! Not equality. You so called famous people were the ones who brought your recordings and went to your concerts. The bunch of you should hopefully spend your years in despair and poverty!!!!!!!!!
