NYC Mayor Adams Tells Reporters That Trunp is NOT a Fascist

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“New York City Mayor Eric Adams told reporters Saturday that he does not believe former President Trump is a fascist, while defending the Republican presidential nominee the day before a major rally at Madison Square Garden.

Adams and other city leaders held a press conference at the New Yew City Police Department headquarters on Saturday afternoon to discuss security measures before the campaign rally in Manhattan.

During the press conference, a reporter asked Adams if he believed Trump is a fascist, as others have said.

“I’ve heard those terms hurled at me by some political leaders in the city, using terms like Hitler and fascist,” Adams said. “My answer is no. I know what Hitler has done and I know what a fascist regime looks like.”

He suggested everyone dial down the temperature, adding he strongly disagrees with those who say Trump should not be allowed to have a rally at Madison Square Garden.

“This is America. This is New York, and I think it’s important that we allow individuals to exercise their right to get their message clear to New Yorkers,” Adams said. “Our job as a city and as a police department is to make sure they can do that in a peaceful way.

“When people called me a fascist and other terminologies, I didn’t like it and I don’t think it’s fitting to anyone to state that the former president is equal to being Hitler,” he added.” (Courtesy FoxNews.com)

Isn’t it interesting that Democratic politicians with strong self-preservation instincts are moving toward Trump in the final two weeks before the 2024 Presidential Election?

Adams has been indicted, as has Trump, by an out-of-control Biden/Harris Administration who are intent on using Political Lawfare to eliminate their enemies. Adams, I’m sure, has no love for Kamala Harris.

He also realizes that the tide is turning, and that there is a good possibility that Donald J Trump will be the 47th president of the United States of America. Like Jeff Bezos, Adams is hedging his bets.

Adams knows that all eyes in not only America but the whole world will be on Madison Square Garden on Sunday as Trump speaks to a sold-out crowd.

I am certain that the Democrat Elite are at their wit’s end with the way the election is shaping up. You can tell their desperation by the things they are saying.

To attempt to label Trump as Hitler is the dumbest thing I’ve heard Democrats say in quite a while. Trump has a Jewish son-in-law and Jewish grandbabies whom he loves with all his heart.

Trump is generous to a fault with both friends and strangers.

It is well known that he has a big heart.

The Democrats have no shame with this latest tactic that they are trying.

Their desperation reeks from coast to coast as their rhetoric gets more and more threatening.

They themselves are the fascists that they claim Trump to be.

They will do anything in order to keep power in Washington and control over the lives of americans.

Under their leadership, they have brought us not only to the precipice of World War III but through their open border policy, they have put us in more internal danger than Americahaseverbeenin before.

While things are looking better that Trump will win, we must not rest.

We must talk to our friends and pray to the God of Abraham from now until November 5th. The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave can not stand another 4 years of incompetent “Progressive” leadership, which is all that Kamala Harris will offer.

We must make America great again.

Analyzing the Campaigns: The Company They Keep

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

When children are growing up, they are told by their parents that they are judged by the company they keep. 

Presidential Candidates should be no different.

During the 2024 Presidential Campaign, we have watched the two presidential candidates, Kamala Harris and former president Donald J Trump, reach out to two very different voting groups.

Current Vice-President Kamala Harris  hobnobs among the rich and famous, using Hollywood stars to plead to American voters to vote for her.

This is probably one of the worst strategies I’ve ever seen in a depressed economy such as ours.

The American people, average Americans who are working hard just to try to make ends meet under by Bidenomics, could care less what the Hollywood Elite thinks.

In fact, judging from the actions of people like P Diddy and others, it’s a toss-up question as to whether they think or not.

But, I digress…

Hollywood is its own society, with its own culture, just as Washington DC lives in a bubble, so do those who believe themselves to be stars.

The Harris Campaign has presented themselves as imperious by hobnobbing with this bogus aristocracy.

Former President and current Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J Trump has focused his campaign on the working men and women of America.

He has been everywhere, campaigning relentlessly to show the American people that he cares about them and wants to make things better.

I’m not saying that he’s perfect.

There was only one Perfect Man, and he hung from a cross seeking His Father’s forgiveness of our sins.

Trump and his campaign staff mounted a spot on campaign strategy of going to the American people where they are.

Whether it be a college football game or a barber shop in the Bronx, Trump has been there.

While Harris has only done interviews with people who fawned over her ( except for Fox News Special Report with Bret Baier, which backed spectacularly), Trump has done interviews with everybody, whether it is a hostile situation or not, and has done very well.

The fact that we are seeing an upturn here at the 9th hour in terms of the polls for Donald J Trump show that the American people do not want another four years of an aristocracy in the White House.

The Democrats have separated themselves from the American people, trying to turn our country by means of illegal immigrants into something that it was never meant to be.

Trump, through his words and actions, has shown Americans that he cares about them and about our country.

In 17 days, Americans will make the most important decision they have ever made: whether to continue this March to Marxism or to restore our Constitutional Republic.

Which will you choose?

The Fading Away of Kamala Harris

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

In the 2020 Presidential Election, the Democrat Elite attempted a campaign strategy that no one had ever tried before

They purposely kept their candidate away from the public eye and away from crowds as much as they could while using the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic as an excuse.

When Joe Biden did speak, it was to small crowds or literally from his basement.

This strategy, along with some political shenanigans that have never been seen before, which we all know happened, served to get former Vice-President Joe Biden elected as our 46th President.

Thus began a long National Nightmare of four years of Far Left governance and tone-deaf incompetence, which has seemed like an eternity.

The Democrats were so pleased with themselves that they decided to allow Joe Biden to run again, giving him the nomination at their National Convention, even though it had become obvious to the entire world that the “old gray pervert ain’t what he used to be” to paraphrase an old song.

So, even though he could barely walk and talk, and had to be assisted with someone at his elbow at all times, the Democrat Elite allowed him to enter into a Presidential Debate with the Republican candidate former President Donald J Trump.

Biden failed miserably, coming off looking like the demented old fool which he is.

After that debacle, pressure was placed on him to not run again.

Eventually, he relented and the Democrat Elite appointed Kamala Harris as their new Presidential Candidate, not even running the primaries over again so that the people whom they are supposed to be representing would have a chance to vote their choice into the position of presidential candidate.

The Democrat Elite actually thought that they could implement the same political strategy that won them the last election.

They forbade Kamala Harris from doing interviews unless they were with Democratic partisans.

They also kept her away from doing press conferences or anything during which she might have to speak extemporaneously.

The Democrats’ plan was rolling along until they came upon a speed bump.

Americans were getting wise to the fact that Kamala was not all that in a bag of chips causing former president Trump to start gathering momentum and gain in the polls.

So, the Democrats decided to let her start doing interviews, mostly with Democrat partisans.

However, they relented and decided that because Fox News had such a big audience that they would allow her to appear on Special Report with Bret Baier.

“YUGE” mistake.

Baier asked her the questions that the partisans failed to ask.

Questions on the topics that voters want to know her opinion about, such as the wide open Southern border.

Instead of answering the questions, Kamala tried changing the subject to attacks on Donald Trump,  bringing up his name over 20 times in a 21 minute interview.

Brett Baer tried not to allow her to filibuster, and he did a good job.

Whether his intent was to expose her as being in way over her head or not, it happened.

And, that’s a good thing.

Kamala Harris should not have been anointed the Democratic Presidential Candidate by the Elite.

She’s not even competent enough to attend the Al Smith Charity Dinner and crack jokes and be sociable.

What worked once did not work again.

The difference between the two candidates was the fact that Biden did has a history in Washington DC and Kamala’s political history was like the difference between s swimming in the deep end of the pool and  wading in a kiddie pool.

Kamala Harris is not equipped to be the president of the United States of america. She’s not trustworthy. She’s not intelligent. And, the only one she cares about is Kamala Harris. Thank you, Bret Baier, for doing your job.

Now, it is up to the American voters to do theirs.

America Needs Direct Answers …We’re not Going to Get Them From Kamala Harris

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

As I was going into work this morning, I was listening to Democratic Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris answering questions from 60 Minutes Reporter Bill Whitaker.

The problem was that she wasn’t answering the question she was asked and to my surprise, Whitaker kept repeating his questions, trying to get a direct answer.

Of course, he failed.

Kamala has been taught by her handlers to answer in a circuitous manner, going round and round until the questioner gets tired and moves on to something else.

The problem with that is that she is really not fooling anyone who might be on the bubble in terms of trying to make a decision whether to vote for her or for former President Donald J Trump.

In fact, she is probably discouraging people from voting for her.

Kamala really doesn’t give a darn about anyone but herself.

She announced with glee that she was giving $157 million to Lebanon which will no doubt wind up in the hands of Hezbollah while Americans who were hit by Hurricane Elaine are still struggling mightily, after the loss of family, home, and everything they own.

That heartless wrnch offered $750 per person to these ravaged Americans.

And, they can only get it if they apply and are approved for its arrival 10 days later.

Americans are taking care of our own through Samaritan’s Purse and other private organizations along with our veterans who are getting in there where the government refuses to go.

We are sorely in need of leadership.

I would hate for Governor Ron DeSantis to no longer be the governor of Florida, but I would also like to see him in President Trump’s new cabinet if Trump were to win.

DeSantis told everyone that he had no time to meet with Biden, that he’s got to prepare his state and his people for Hurricane Milton, which will arrive tomorrow afternoon.

We need more leadership like this and the kind that President Trump has shown time and time again.

America can not stand another four years of the attempted radical change movement by an invasion of illegal immigrants.

It is time for passing the buck to stop.

And that will only happen if President Donald J Trump is sitting in the Oval Office.

Trump Return to Butler Draws 20,000. Do You Believe the People or the Polls?

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Did you know that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have only done 23 interviews compared to 63 interviews for former President Donald J Trump and JD Vance?

And, the debates that the Democratic Presidential and Vice-Presidential Candidates have done have always been with friends and supporters.

They never speak in specifics.

They only speak in platitudes and ideas, never actually answering the questions about policy.

The Republican Candidates are not afraid to go into enemy territory, such as CBS or ABC, where they will be called everything but a child of God.

Trump refused to go on 60 Minutes after the way Leslie Stahl treated him the last time, plus the way they edited the interview.

When the Republican candidates sit down to be interviewed, they have to be prepared to deal with past behavior and allegations in order to speak about policy and what they will do to help Americans.

The Democratic Candidates just coast on through their interviews, making up stories about working at McDonald’s or their rank in the military.

The Democratic Party strategy for trying to get a candidate elected who only had 1% support in 2020 and had to drop out of the primaries has been to treat Americans like mushrooms: Keep them in the dark and feed them crap.

While it worked for Biden in 2020 because he actually had a political record to run on, and Americans did not know the extent of his dementia.

It’s not working so well for Kamala Harris.

The past four years have been a nightmare, one that she has been a major part in creating.

Current political polls show Kamala Harris to be one or two points ahead of Trump.

Take all those polls with a grain of salt.

In 2016, the Queen of amean Hillary Clinton was five points ahead.

As I write this post, I’m looking at vide images of yesterday’s rally that 20,000 people attended in Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of the failed assassination attempt on former President Trump.

Kamala is lucky if she can fill a high school gym.

Do not pay attention to what the Democratic party minions in the corporate media are telling you.

Keep the faith.

It ain’t over till it’s over.

Trump Greeted With Cheers and “USA! USA!” Chants at Alabama Vs. Georgia Game

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Well, gosh. If you listen to the political pundits on CNN, MSNBC, and the Alphabet Networks, this crowd should not be cheering former President Donald J Trump.

And yet, they are.

Why is that?

You see, Gentle Readers, Trump has always been a “people person”.

That is the reason that, when he was still a contributor to Fox News, he would speak to everyone in the building, from the maintenance crew, on up the ladder.

As Sam Walton, the Founder of Walmart, knew, you don’t inspire people by acting imperious and above it all.

“Mr. Sam”, until his health would no longer allow him to do so, would travel to Walmart Stores in his old pickup truck, with a tie and a baseball cap on, visiting the employees, in order to find out how his stores were doing.

He knew that the only way to be successful and to stay in touch with the public, was to be out among them, and speak to them honestly and directly, as one would speak to a friend.

Just as President Trump did when he went on a “Thank You” Tour after being elected in 2016 and his present use of Social Media Platforms like his own “Truth Social” to speak directly to the American People.

The Political Establishment, of both parties, lost that concept a long time ago.

With the Biden/Harris Presidency being a total disaster of epic proportions, and Americans suffering under the ravages of an Administration being run by a bunch of Far Left Fruitcakes who are trying to keep us under their thumb through unconstitutional totalitarianism like the closure of oil pipelines and trying to force us into buying unaffordable electric cars, Americans have realized how good they had it under the leadership of the 45th President.

If the Democrat Elite’s lightweight puppet of a Presidential Candidate, current Vice-President Kamala Harris, would have shown up at the game, she would have been booed out of there like Vice-Presidential Candidate Tim Walz was at the Michigan vs. Minnesota game.

However, I  doubt that she would attend a college football game.

Judging from the pictures circulating on social media, you would be more likely to see her at a P Diddy Party.

Just sayin’ …

A Nation Divided: How Did We Get Here? Where are We Going?

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

As I watched the events of this past week unold, after the second failed assassination attempt on former President Trump, I began wondering what this country has become and how we got here.

Then, yesterday morning, a friend posted on Facebook the fact that 28% of Democrats want former President Donald J Trump to be assassinated.

And, a realization hit me.

We have come a long way from the after-hours meetings in the White House with President Reagan and Tip O’Niell, during which they had their political discussions and shared a drink afterward.

This country is split like never before.

The Democrats, in their zeal for political power, may prove to be the catalyst that brings about the end of our Constitutional Republic.

The “democracy” which they claim that Trump is a threat to is not the Democracy of a Republic but the democracy of a mob.

A mob, filled with hate and arrogance, who wants to turn our Constitutional Republic into a totalitarian regime where you can be punished for saying something that the ruling political party does not like.

How did we get here?

It’s because of the political programming of our school children for the past few decades and the fact that political ideology has replaced Christianity.

I’m serious about this.

We are a country in which a lot of “Useful Idiots” seem to believe more in relative morality and situational ethics than they do in the Faith of our Founding Fathers.

The Hollywood Aristocracy, including those in the music business, openly worship Satan by wearing upside down crosses and the Goathead form of Satan known as Baphomet.

And. they do it proudly.

The upcoming presidential election is going to be the most important one in the history of our Constitutional Republic.

If those who are secretly running the governmental works of our country under the cover of darkness, while acting as the puppet masters of those who are presently occupying the White House, are allowed to continue their march toward turning America into a totalitarian regime, our country’s days as a Republic are numbered.

Americans will not only lose their Constitutional Rights, they will lose the ability to provide for their families as well.

While I believe that unless America returns to the Faith of Our Fathers that America faces a long uphill battle, I also believe that there is a reason that the forces I referred to above have tried to eliminate the Republican Candidate for President twice already.

Donald J Trump is our best mortal chance to retain our Constitutional Republic and remain a Sovereign Nation.

The Pundits Vs The People: The Actual Outcome of the Presidential Debate

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Americans are still talking about last week’s presidential debate between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and former president Donald J Trump.

There’s a reason for that.

I believe that the debate did not go quite the way that the Democrats planned it.

It has now come out from an ABC whistleblower that Kamala was given questions in advance that were very similar to those asked by the clearly biased moderators and she was assured that Trump would be fact checked while she was not.

The Democrats expected Kamala to get a big bounce in the polls after the debate.

That has not happened.

In fact, in some polls, it was Trump who received the bounce.

I could go on speaking about this because, quite frankly, the reason is obvious.

I watched a video on Thursday of a firehouse, which Kamala and her vice-presidential running mate Tim Walz visited.

Here it is:

Notice that when Harris and Walz walked in, the men and women of that Firehouse barely lifted their heads up and continued eating.

They ignored the two nominees of the Democratic Party.

They ignored them as the Democrat Party had been ignoring average Americans.

When former President Trump walked into that same firehouse, he was met with joyous shouts, applause, and hoots and hollers as we say down south.

They were taking videos on their phones and they were happy to see a former president who had their backs and still has their backs.

In that presidential debate, Kamala and her two minions from the media tried their best to deflect their own behavior onto Trump.

They said that he disparaged the military and the police and that he was stuck up.

Americans are not buying that garbage.

They’ve seen this man bring his security staff down to Ground Zero after the Twin Towers were blown up on that awful day on September 11th, 2001.

They’ve seen the picture of him at one of his rallies back in 2016 going up to a veteran who had both his arms taken from him in war and put his hand on the veteran’s face because that was the only way he could engage contact with him.

They’ve watched Trump bring pizzas to firehouses and police precincts.

They’ve seen him up on stage at the rallies dancing to the Village People.

They saw him recently come down into the crowd where a lady had fainted at one of his outdoor rallies to make sure that she was all right.

They have also seen how the current Democratic candidates avoid the Press and only speak to those whom they know will agree with them.

The American people were fooled once by Biden and by an obviously rigged election.

It does not appear that it will happen again.

However, we are more than 2 months out from what is possibly the most important day in our country’s history.

We must remain vigilant, and we must do what is right for our nation’s prosperity and the future of our children and grandchildren.

What this new Marxist Democratic Party is offering has been tried before and has failed miserably.

The choice is clear.

That is why the poll numbers are starting to turn.

23 Years After 9/11…Why We Must NEVER Forget

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

a05_61124_10

In some ways it does not seem like it has been 22 years since the worst Terrorist Attack ever perpetrated on American soil.

In other ways, it seems like an eternity.

That horrible day was so surreal. It seemed to me like I was stuck in a nightmare.

Certainly this couldn’t be happening to us? We’re the greatest nation in the world. Who in their right mind, would dare attack the United States of America? Who would be brazen enough to attack us, using instruments of our own design? Who would actually dare flying planes into the Twin Towers, a living symbol of American Prosperity?

For that matter,. who would fly a plane into the Pentagon…the Seat of Power behind our nation’s awesome Military, the finest collection of Fighting Men and Women on Earth?

It was not a nightmare. It was a reality.

I remember seeing that first plane crash into the World Trade Center.

I remember the look of incredulity and panic on the faces of Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade, and E.D. Hill, as they watched from the set of Fox and Friends that fateful morning.

I remember the second plane on its approach, and the horrifying realization that this was no accident… that America was under attack. An attack, which turned out to have been planned and executed by Osama bin Laden, and a group of Saudi Arabians, members of the Muslim Terrorist Group, known as al-Qaeda.

I remember the images of Americans jumping out of windows to their certain death, rather than be consumed by the fires, raging around them.

I remember the sickening thud as they hit the pavement.

I remember the images of the brave NYC Policemen and Firemen as they rushed into the World Trade Center…never to return.

I remember watching the First Tower collapse…then, the second one.

I remember a heroic Mayor Rudy Giuliani, out in the middle of the devastation, doing whatever he could to get New Yorkers to safety.

I remember President George W. Bush coming on television, with a look of steely determination, as he announced that we would be avenged.

I remember him standing on that heap of rubble that used to be a part of the World Trade Center, side by side with that fireman, telling the assembled crowd, through his bullhorn, that “the world will hear from us”.

And, it did.

Here is the tragedy of 9/11/01, broken down by the numbers. Courtesy of nymag.com:

  • Estimated number of New Yorkers suffering from post-traumatic-stress disorder as a result of 9/11: 422,000

And, here we are, 22 years removed from that nightmarish day, with a President of the United States, who since taking office, has purposefully divided our Sovereign Nation like never before, pitting black Americans against White Americans, the poor among us against those who employ people, the vaccinated against the un-vaccinated, and those foolish enough to vote for Biden against Trump Voters. 

This treasonous imbecile who was installed as President has kissed the backsides of the same people responsible for the horrific events which we stop to remember on this solemn day.

Not only that, in his surrender to the Taliban, he left behind American citizens, who are still hurting to get out of there.

Under our former Commander-in-Chief that would have never happened. Former President Donald J. Trump does not bow down to Radical Islamists.

During the days after 9/11/2001, political affiliation, race, gender, personal philosophy, did not matter.

WE WERE AMERICANS.

This country came together, in a way in which I had never before seen in my lifetime (which, is a pretty long time).

Now, look at us.

Besides the Far Left Cabal and their puppet in the White House, we have Radical Muslims (and Marxists) occupying seats in the House of Representatives and displaying their ignorance and disdain for our country.

Like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) who infamously said,

“Some people did something.”

Americans must continue to stand firm and to once again come together and let our “public servants” in the Halls of Power in Washington, D.C know that we stand against those who would embrace our enemies instead of serving our Sovereign Nation, as they were elected to do.

Also, we remember those who left us on that September Morning so long ago, and say a prayer for them and the Four Americans whom we lost on the grounds of a US Embassy Compound in Benghazi, Libya. All these years later, they still deserve no less.

On September 11, 2001, Radical Islamists attacked us on our own soil and murdered over 3,000 Americans, and if given the opportunity, they will not hesitate to do it again.

We must stop the Far Left ideologues of the Modern Democratic Party, including President Joe Biden and his “Handlers” and not give them any more opportunities to bring about “radical change” in America through the appeasement of our enemies which has already started happening under this President, including secret deals, possible pay-offs, acquiescence, and leaving them the means of our nation’s destruction during the botched pull-out from Afghanistan.

America was NEVER meant to be “just another country”.

We must stand united as a nation and continue to reclaim our heritage as “The Shining City Upon a Hill”.

The lives lost on September 11, 2001…and September 11, 2012…demand it.

Until He Comes,

Remembering Jerry Lewis and the MDA Labor Day Telethon…and Why It Could Not Be Produced Today

On By kingsjesterIn Entertainment, PoliticsLeave a comment

Another Labor Day will pass by today without a Muscular Dystrophy Labor Day Telethon.

I know that there are millennials reading this post who are wondering what in the world I am talking about.

Well, boys and girls, a long, long time ago, in a nation where citizens actually cared about one another, an American Icon, Comedian, and Philanthropist named Jerry Lewis poured his lifeblood into producing a nationally-televised program specifically designed to raise money on behalf of the Muscular Dystrophy Association to aid in the fight against Neuromuscular Diseases.

Born Joseph Levitch in Newark, New Jersey, his career in show business spanned 70 years. beginning with his first appearance with his parents, who were both entertainers, in the Catskill Mountains Circuit at age 5.

He passed away from natural causes on August 20, 2017 at the age of 91.

For 45 years, American families would, while spending time together, watch the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethon. The telethon would begin on Sunday Evening and continue for 21 1/2 hours, ending on Monday evening at 5:00 p.m. Central. Co-hosted in later years by Ed McMahon and Norm Crosby, stars of stage, screen, and television would appear, alongside corporate executives, all there to raise money for “Jerry’s Kids”.

And, when I say “stars”, I mean STARS.
Jerry’s good friend, Sammy Davis, Jr. would come on every year, on Monday afternoon, and do a solid 30 minutes of entertaining, usually badgering Jerry, until he would come out and do a couple of songs with him, usually ending in a tap dance “challenge”.

Mr. Las Vegas himself, Wayne Newton, would come on after that and bring down the house, with several high energy numbers, wearing his huge American Eagle Belt Buckle and “TCB” Necklace, which Elvis Presley gave him as a sign of friendship and respect.


Speaking of the King, while Elvis did not appear live every year, usually, also sometime Monday Afternoon, Ed McMahon would say,

“Jerry, we just received a call from Graceland.“

This meant that Elvis, known throughout my hometown of Memphis for his great generosity, had just phoned in a huge donation.

Perhaps one of the most poignant moments in the history of the telethon came during the 1976 Program, when the Chairman of the Board, Francis Albert Sinatra, showed up. Frank told Jerry that he had brought a friend with him and asked him to come out. That friend was Jerry’s ex-partner, Dean Martin. The two had been estranged for years. Jerry became emotional. He hugged Dino, and, when everyone became silent, he asked,

“You workin’?“

13 years ago, after 45 years of magnanimous service, raising untold millions for the MDA, Lewis was cruelly and unceremoniously dumped. In fact, the MDA did not even have the guts to tell Jerry Lewis that they dumped him!

“We honor Jerry Lewis, we admire the work he’s done for us, and we respect his decision to retire.“

That particular quote came from Valerie Cwik, the MDA’s interim president, at the time. She replaced Gerald Weinberg, who was reportedly behind Lewis’s ouster and who stepped down as president, after 54 years with the organization.

She made the lame argument that the changes in the telethon were part of a necessary evolution in fundraising strategy, to put less emphasis on the once-a-year event.

“It has to change because the American audience has changed. A 21.5-hour show doesn’t fit in a 140-character world.“

During 2016, the President of the MDA reached out to Lewis and attempted to smooth things over with him, opening the door for possible voice-over projects in the future.

Sadly, the gesture turned out to be too little, too late.

I swear, “The Smartest People in the Room”, a.k.a., Modern American Liberals, screw up everything.

Okay. I know that Lewis had a reputation as an ego-maniacal pain-in-the-rear to work with, but, these were people’s lives that the MDA was messing with. It could have, and should have, been handled differently.

However, Jerry Lewis also devoted over half his life for “his kids”, visiting them in hospitals around the nation, with no cameras around, along with calling and visiting Corporate CEOs and A-List Celebrities, getting them to help him raise money for those kids and adults struck down by these debilitating Muscular Disorders.

His ouster by MDA showed no respect or gratitude, whatsoever.

What happened to Jerry Lewis, has happened to American Society in general.

The lack of respect shown to Jerry had become Standard Operating Procedure for Modern American Liberals.

Jerry Lewis, if he were still alive, could not produce his Labor Day Telethon in the political climate of today.

The majority of those in the Entertainment Industry would not “lower themselves” to do it.

After all, critically ill average Americans, both children and adults, are not a part of the special interest groups whom they prefer to “donate their time” to, like BLM, Antifa, and other whackjob Liberal Special Interest Groups.

And, knowing the kind of American that Jerry Lewis was, they would have been told that any bashing of our country or our flag would result in them not being invited back.

The focus of those telethons were those Americans afflicted with the terrible diseases which the MDA provided support and care for.

Quite frankly, I do not believe that our present bunch of “stars” could leave their hatred of Former President Trump and their own oversized egos in check long enough to perform on Jerry Lewis’s MDA Telethon.

In fact, after watching the behavior of Hollywood Liberals like Alyssa Milano, Bette Midler, and Tom Arnold during the last several years, I would say that my belief is a solid truth.

As far as today’s “stars” “shining” in Hollywood are concerned, they just don’t make them like they used to.
Jerry Lewis’ legacy will be that of a man, who, with all of his flaws, left an indelible mark on both the Entertainment and Medical Industries.

The money that he helped raise for the Muscular Dystrophy Association helped advance their fight against neuromuscular disease.

And, while he was able to lend his talents to that great cause, “Jerry’s Kids” knew that they never walked alone.

Today’s Hollywood stars can not even admit that Kamala Harris is a Communist imbecile the Democrat Elite are doing everything that they can to distract fromher and Biden’s horrible performances during the last 4 years by blaming Former President Donald J Trump and his supporters for the problems, foreign and domestic, which the Biden Administration and the Democrat Elite have themselves caused.

Until He Comes,
