And so it is that, in honor of Thanksgiving, Joy Reid lashed out at America, accusing it of being a violent, irredeemably racist country. It’s time to bring a little reality to Reid’s foray into out-grinching the Grinch, not on Christmas, but at Thanksgiving.
Joy Reid is the ‘grinch’ of Thanksgiving with her race-obsessed take
MSNBC host Joy Reid (net worth: $4 million or so) graduated from Harvard University. Despite that pedigree, she learned neither facts nor gratitude. And so it is that, in honor of Thanksgiving, Joy Reid lashed out at America, accusing it of being a violent, irredeemably racist country. It’s time to bring a little reality to Reid’s foray into out-grinching the Grinch, not on Christmas, but at Thanksgiving.
Here’s Reid’s screed:
If you don’t want to listen to this 90 clip of ignorance and hatred from someone who’s had a lot of all-American good headed her way (along with the tragedy of losing her parents when she was young), here are the high points of her speech:
- Genocide
- “We are a country founded on violence.”
- 1619
- Slavery
- KKK
So, Joy Reid wants the truth. Fortunately, I’ve got the truth.
Genocide. The tribes the Pilgrims found were Stone Aged in development. All Stone-Aged tribes, at all times and in all places, engage in perpetual warfare and, if they can, enslave the women and children of their defeated opponents, and then execute the men. Europeans went through that phase (with a repeat in the mid-20th century), and North America’s indigenous people were no different. As a general matter, pre-modern people were violent and comfortable with torture and genocide.
It’s true that roughly 90% of America’s indigenous people died after the Europeans landed. However, this was not a deliberate genocide. It was because neither the Europeans nor the Native Americans knew anything about germ theory. In any event, as COVID shows, once a new virus hits a virgin community, people die. Unfortunately, for the Native Americans, the new virus was smallpox.
“We are a country founded on violence.” See my statement, above. Violence has long been an integral part of the human condition. The Aztecs, for example, were the Nazis of Mesoamerica. A handful of Spaniards defeated them because surrounding tribes gratefully assisted a group of people perfectly situated to destroy a tribe that annually sacrificed tens of thousands of people, usually prisoners from raids on other tribes, to their blood-thirsty Gods.
I’d like Reid to point us to any pre-modern culture that was both successful and non-violent. What changed the West was the Judeo-Christian ethic, the rule of law, and the Age of Reason, all coming together.
1619. The 1619 Project is bunkum. Even honest leftists have acknowledged that it is compounded from “ambition, distraction, uglification, and derision,” with a thin gloss of historic truth to “lend verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.” At this point, anyone who even says “1619” is lying and, if they have a Harvard degree, they should be smart enough to know they’re lying.
Slavery. Slavery, sadly, is normative and all European countries practiced it. And yes, the British brought slavery to the Americas. They tried to use the Irish first, but those stubborn Irish kept dying from working in tropical climes while suffering from malaria. It was considered a fortunate thing that African tribes were willing to sell their racial brethren into slavery, with helpful Muslim middlemen. And so it was that, in North America, Whites owned slaves, as did Blacks and Native Americans.
Two things ended slavery in North America: First, Evangelical Christianity (“Am I not a man and a brother?”) and, second, the willingness of millions of White men to go to war to erase the institution from American soil.
The KKK (and Jim Crow): A vile organization paired with a vile political institution. In a nutshell, these were Democrats who used their political and social power to discriminate against American citizens based on race.
By the way, did you read about the San Francisco Election director, a man honored for doing a great job, who answered to a Democrat-run committee that just fired him because he’s White? And is there anything I need to tell you about Black Lives Matter and anti-White violence?
Ignore Reid’s bitterness about an American past that reflected human development and that, unlike other nations, matured sufficiently to put aside these evils to become the most prosperous, racially integrated country in the world. Instead, listen to Rush Limbaugh (may his memory always be a blessing) tell us the real story behind that first Thanksgiving:
I’m actually sorry for Reid. She lives in a wonderful place, the least racist place in the world (and I know, ‘cause I’ve traveled a lot) and all she sees is ugliness. I wonder whether she’ll ever realize the ugliness isn’t in America; it’s in her. If she does realize that, she can then make the choice to be happy.

In America, former president but lifelong Marxist Barack Obama can slander proponents of secure borders as racists, and nobody bats an eye. Babbling Vice President Harris can promise to disburse federal funds for victims of Hurricane Ian based on Americans' skin color, and corporate news talking heads applaud. Nancy Pelosi can justify millions of illegal aliens as necessary for picking crops, and America's most race-obsessed pretend not to hear. White victims can be violently targeted on the street by criminal gangs, and Democrat mayors cover up their race-based
Joy Reid & Hillary Clinton Shriek Over 'Violent Fascist Republicans'
Text to Speech
On Tuesday’s edition of MSNBC’s The ReidOut, host Joy Reid spent almost the entire first half hour of her show talking to former First Lady and failed two-time presidential candidate Hillary Clinton about how the Republican Party is nothing but a fascist cult that promotes violence against their political opponents.
Continuing to paint the entire Republican Party as being supportive of the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul Pelosi, Reid predictably asked Clinton about the apparent attack.
Clinton claimed that “there's always been a streak of violence, of racism, misogyny, antisemitism” in the Republican Party.
Later on, Reid panicked that “if Kevin McCarthy were to become Speaker, it's very likely that Marjorie Green would get a gavel.” Adding that “she would get a committee, that people like Lauren Boebert would get committees, that people like Matt Gaetz would be on committees.”
Showing how out of touch she is with the concerns of average voters, Reid asked if voters don’t understand the threat Republicans pose if they win control of Congress.
Clinton, who is just as delusional as Reid, shrieked, “I don’t think people are able to really grasp that” threat and as well as the “threats to their way of life” that Republicans pose to Americans.
She then repeated the thoroughly debunked talking point that Republicans “are going to put Social Security and Medicare up for a vote.”
Not to be outdone with the lies, Reid jumped back in to falsely claim that “Kari Lake laughed at Paul Pelosi, an 82-year-old man being beaten and concussed by an intruder.” Claiming: that is now just standard” in the Republican Party.
Reid then asked Clinton if she was “concerned that our democracy is not going to be able to hold past what you can only describe as fascism, violent politics, and demand for power without elections?”
Clinton then went off in her infamous nasty shrill shrieking that makes her so thoroughly repulsive to vast numbers of Americans: “Republicans have been talking about nothing but crime, then when a crime is committed against Paul Pelosi, they could care less. These people do not really believe half of what they say.”
“If you have a candidate in your state who laughs about an 82-year-old man being hit with a hammer in his own home, there's something wrong with that person. Why would they want you to laugh with them about a crime?” Clinton nagged.

MSNBC’s The ReidOut
11/1/2022
7:04:16 p.m. EasternJOY REID: So, you know, I played that last little montage because if anyone can relate to and understand Nancy Pelosi's life as a full-time hate object of the right, it would be you. And so I wonder if you can just, you know, tell me how the attack on Paul Pelosi struck you and what did it tell you about the state of the right in this country, and the hate toward a powerful woman?
HILLARY CLINTON: Well, I think your question kind of answers itself, Joy. There's always been a streak of violence, of racism, misogyny, antisemitism, as you said. But I think what we're seeing today, and it has certainly been thrown into very high relief by the horrific attack on Paul Pelosi, is not just an aberration where one or two people or a small group engage in that kind of violent rhetoric and urge people to take action against political figures like her, like me, like others. We're seeing a whole political party, and those who support it, those who enable it, those who run under its banner, engaging in behavior that is so dangerous and I find frankly disqualifying for people who are running for office.
You know, this midterm election, we have seen a lot of ads by Republicans running for everything, touting crime. Crime is the issue. But when an 82-year-old man is attacked by an intruder in his own home, they don't seem to be too bothered by that.
Because that person is married to the Speaker of the House, who is of a different political party. I just want your viewers and really I would like every American just to stop and think about that. This is the kind of violent rhetoric that leads to violent action that props up authoritarians, and that's unfortunately what we see the Republican Party today supporting.
REID: You know, and to your very point, this attacker allegedly confessed to police that his plan was to kidnap Paul Pelosi, to wait for Nancy Pelosi to come home, and then to hold her hostage, to break her kneecaps if she didn't tell whatever truth it is he thought he could get out of her, and then use her as a symbol to everyone else as to what would be in store for them if they didn't behave as his sort of right-wing conspiracy theory mind believed they should. If you think about it, this was a kidnapping plot that was directed at the sitting Speaker of the House, and yes, her husband is the victim of it because he happened to be her husband and happened to be home.
And yet, you saw the person who now solely owns Twitter, which like it or not, is still a giant global public marketplace of ideas, promote lies about what happened to Paul Pelosi, promote conspiracy theories about it. With the reach that he has, and the fact that his -- he and the Saudis own this thing, and that was blasted out to all of his followers and to the world. We're not even in an age of reality anymore.
CLINTON: Well, to his credit, he took that down. I don't see Republicans running for the Congress or Governors and many other different positions taking down their violent ads, or I don't see them curbing their rhetoric. You played something from Marjorie Taylor Greene who is calling for, you know, the death because of treason for Speaker Pelosi. The level of just plain crazy violent hate rhetoric coming out of Republicans, you played something from the candidate, the Republican candidate for Governor in Arizona.
I want viewers, I want voters to stop and ask themselves, would we trust somebody who is stirring up these violent feelings, who is pointing fingers, scapegoating, making a joke about a violent attack on Paul Pelosi, why would you trust that person to have power over you, your family, your business, your community?
So I want to take this a step further, away from the incident, the terrible incident with Paul Pelosi, and broaden it out. Because what we have with the rhetoric coming from the Republican candidates, from their party right now, is so disturbing. I didn't see a big outpouring on the part of elected officials to stand with Nancy Pelosi the way she has stood with Republicans as well as Democrats in times of real terror, like on January 6.
And so ask yourselves, please, why would you entrust power to people who are either themselves unable to see how terrible it is that someone would be attacked in their home, or don't really care because they think it will somehow get them votes that will get them elected. This is a real threat to the heart of our democracy.
REID: In fact, if Kevin McCarthy were to become Speaker, it's very likely that Marjorie Green would get a gavel. That she would get a committee, that people like Lauren Boebert would get committees, that people like Matt Gaetz would be on committees. Perhaps committees dealing with national security, because he would have to appease them in order to get enough votes to be Speaker at all.
Are you concerned that maybe voters are not putting those pieces together? That having a Republican House would mean that the people you're talking about would be even more empowered, that faction would be in power.
CLINTON: Well, I think with all of the noise that we've got in this election season, I don't think people are able to really grasp that, but more importantly, I'm not sure they really understand the threats to their way of life. They may think that whoever is chairing a committee is, you know, kind of abstract.
But the Republicans in the House and others like the chair of the Republican Senate campaign committee, are on record saying that they are going to put Social Security and Medicare up for a vote. Now, I don't understand why every American, not just people eligible for those two programs that they have paid into, that they have worked hard for, that they have earned, are not up in arms. You know, we've got lots of problems right now in our country. We need sensible people to come together to try to solve them. The last thing we need is to make life even harder for the vast majority of Americans because it's not just seniors who would have Medicare and Social Security on the chopping block. It would be their children and their grandchildren, who would have to step in to fill the hole that would be left by this reckless behavior, this ideological action that the Republicans are promising to take.
So there's a whole range of issues, and sometimes when I tell people that, they say, oh, they would never do that. Well, they told us for 50 years they were going to get rid of Roe v. Wade. And turn abortion over to the states, where state legislators, local political officials could decide what your health care would be.
Why wouldn't you believe them that they're going to go after Social Security and Medicare? I believe them. I take them at their word. You've got everybody, you know, wondering whether it's true. Well, listen to them, and watch what they have done. And what they say they're going to do.
REID: Throughout the 2016 campaign, Donald Trump would use lock her up as a call and response to his audience about you. Michael Flynn would repeat it. I can remember being in the convention in Cleveland and it was guttural, the amount of rage directed at you personally. It was very -- it felt very personal.
When you look at where we have come since then, to where Donald Trump's ideology has now taken full root in the Republican Party, Kari Lake laughed at Paul Pelosi, an 82-year-old man being beaten and concussed by an intruder. And that is now just standard. Are you concerned that our democracy is not going to be able to hold past what you can only describe as fascism, violent politics, and demand for power without elections?
CLINTON: Well, I hope that voters really rally in this last week before the midterms to understand fully what's at stake. To not get diverted, like I said, the Republicans have been talking about nothing but crime, then when a crime is committed against Paul Pelosi, they could care less. These people do not really believe half of what they say.
I served for eight years in the Senate. I know a lot of the people who are still there. And I don't recognize them, and I do know they know better than what they're talking about, but they think that they need to be part of this, you know, right-wing move that is unfortunately taken over the Republican Party.
So we have a week for people to focus. If you have a candidate in your state who laughs about an 82-year-old man being hit with a hammer in his own home, there's something wrong with that person. Why would they want you to laugh with them about a crime?
If you have someone running who voted in the House as the vast majority of the Republicans did to turn back the clock on women's rights, to turn back the clock on Social Security and Medicare, then why on Earth would you vote for that person? So let's clear away the smoke and the noise and try to focus on what's in your interest.
You know, the Republicans have talked a lot about inflation. They have done nothing about it. It's President Biden who has gone after corporate profits that seem to be way out of whack, particularly for the energy industry, the oil and gas companies. You know, it's President Biden who is trying very hard to inject new energy into our economy, and it's working.
You know, here in New York, where I'm talking to you from, two huge announcements that were in many ways promoted because the Congress, the Democrats finally passed something called the Inflation Reduction Act. So the Republicans talk a good game, but they rarely do anything other than try to take away your freedoms, you know, undermine the quality of our life, make our political discourse violent instead of bringing people together. Why reward that behavior?
You have a chance between now and next Tuesday to send a very clear message. You know, we want people who don't laugh at a hammer being hit on someone's head. We want people who help us solve our problems. And we sure don't want anybody getting elected who's going to put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block.
REID: Before we go to a quick break, you mentioned that you served with many of these members and you don't think they believe what they're saying. I wanna show you a picture real quick. This is you, and you can see standing there with you are the late John McCain and if you look all the way to the left, the left screen, left for me, that's Lindsey Graham. Susan Collins is there as well. Lindsey Graham is something of a puzzle, for I think a lot of people. He used to be an ally of John McCain and now he is Donald Trump's poodle, one might say. He's his bestie. What happened to him? What do you think is going on with him?
CLINTON: I wish I knew, Joy, because I can't see the picture, but you described it to me, and you know, basically, that was a trip that I took with John McCain and the others when we were all in the Senate. Literally, to educate ourselves and our constituents about climate change. So we were looking at melting glaciers, we were talking to indigenous people who had seen the changes in their lives in a relatively short period of time, and there was no doubt that everybody, including Senator Graham, understood and believed in climate change. And while John McCain was still alive, he seemed to believe that.
After Senator McCain's very sad passing, Lindsey was unmoored. I don't know how else to say it. And in 2016, he was still somewhat of himself, and he pointed out a lot of the inconsistencies and the dangers of Donald Trump, and then when Trump ended up getting elected, Senator Graham threw his lot in with him.
And now the Supreme Court has refused to hear his appeal that he must testify about whatever he was doing to overturn the election in Georgia. I find it bewildering that somebody who was always on the conservative side, don't get me wrong, has so thrown his lot in with the cult that goes along with the big lie and seems to be moving us in a direction that I think anyone with half a sense of American history knows is going to hurt us. And I think everybody should stand up and be held accountable and hold each other accountable for where we stand today, going into this midterm election.

McCarthy: Democrats Trying to Divide America to Distract from Disasters They Created

(CNSNews.com) – House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) accused Democrats of trying to divide Americans to distract from the disasters they created.
As CNSNews.com reported, President Biden gave a speech Wednesday night warning that “MAGA Republicans” are trying to deny people’s right to vote, but missing from his speech, McCarthy said was any mention of the economy, the southwest border, or fentanyl.
“You talk a little bit about the pulse, but you also have to talk about what the president said tonight. He wasn't uniting us. The Democrats were dividing us as they’ve move forward. They just want to distract from the disasters they created,” he said told Fox News’ “Hannity.”
All those topics you brought up? I listened to the president's speech. I don't remember hearing anything about inflation, about gas, about border, about fentanyl, about crime or the 98 individuals on the border who are on the terrorist watch list they have caught.
What we’re really finding in these next six days, this is a hinge election. This is defining election like a 1980 election. Which direction does America want to go? That's why we have the commitment to America.
We literally spell out what we'll do: make us energy independent, give us an economy that’s strong, secure the border, Fund the police, Stop the prosecutors who are woke, give you a parent's bill of rights. You know what else? Save and strengthen Medicare and Social Security, what the Democrats lie against, have a government that is accountable, a future that's built on freedom.
I think the entire nation should look at what the Democrats have done with one party rule, look at what the commitment says, and make a decision. I'm talking to all Americans, not just to Republicans but independents, Democrats, green party. You know this nation can be better. You want to pick somebody who has a plan to turn this nation around and that's exactly what we’re going to do.
The minority leader said that on day one after Republicans takeover the House, they will pass legislation to repeal the hiring of thousands more new IRS agents, because “government should be there to help you, not go after you.”
Our Commitment to America promises what we’ll do to get out of the House. On our very first day on January 3, we’re going to vote on a bill. We’re going to vote to repeal the 87,000 new IRS agents, cause I believe government should be there to help you not go after you. Hold our feet to the fire.
Remember after the ‘94 revolution, it took three times putting on the president's desk before they got welfare reform. We're going to continue fight, move this forward. We need you not only to join with us but stay with us as we move it through the House to the Senate and the president’s desk, but Sean, you’re right. I’ve been watching your show quite some time. Your town halls on these Senate candidates have been tremendous talking about solutions.
It's so important to have the house and the senate. Because it gives us an ability to repeal these regulations with the coming congressional review act which is 51 votes in the senate. We can do reconciliation with 51 votes in senate and put a bill on the president's desk. We have the appropriations process. So they are a number of ways that we can achieve what we talk about in the commitment, even though the president is sitting in office right now.
McCarthy stressed that despite what President Biden has said to the contrary, Republicans will always save and strengthen Medicare and Social Security.
We’re going to use the power but I want to be very clear. We will always save and strengthen Social Security and Medicare. That does not change in the outcome. You should have a debate about how we spend government money. There shouldn’t be a blank check for anything. It's the taxpayers hard-earned money being spent.
We should eliminate this wasteful Washington spending, and we can do that. This is the part that we need the people, and on that very first day, we have already sent the preservation letters. We’re going to hold this government accountable, something that hasn't been done. You should know where COVID originated from. We should know why the DOJ went after parents for going to school board meetings.
We should know what happened those last 60 days of Afghanistan so that never happens, so don't have 13 new gold star families again. These are just a few of the items we’ll be looking at, but what we’ll be doing is moving policy that makes us energy independent, not just in America, but we should make the rest of the world dependent on us. It makes the world more secure and makes America stronger. We should secure our border.
AMERICA'S BLACKS ARE THE MOST IGNORANT AND VIOLENT SUBCULTURE IN THE WORLD. THIS IS THE SUBCULTURE OF HATE. WHEN BLACKS ARE NOT HATING ON EVERYONE ELSE, THEY GO OUT AND MURDER EACH OTHER. LOOK AT THE WEEKLY BLACK ON BLACK MURDER RATES IN CHICAGO ALONE. CRIME IN AMERICA IS BLACK. PERIOD.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot Accuses 75% of Chicago of Being Sexist Racists
With a 25% approval rating, no one wants her around.
With 77 people shot last week, it’s another pleasantly murderous autumn week in Chiraq.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot got her $16 billion budget with its focus on ‘equity’ passed. By equity, Lightfoot meant giving herself a maximum 5% raise.
Aldermen, or as the newly woke Windy City calls them, Alderpeople, got a 9% raise.
It is unlikely that Lori will ever see a dime of the pay hikes for her $216,210 salary because they’re due to kick in by 2024. No one thinks Lightfoot will be in office by then except the unions still funding her campaign which managed to burn through $607,449 in campaign funds without even running any ads. It’s another achievement in an administration filled with them.
Where is the money going? Who knows. It’s Chicago. Everyone wants a nibble and a political operation has got a lot of mouths to feed. But everyone knows where her numbers are going.
Last year, Chicago’s failed racist mayor had a 26% approval rating. Up from 16%. Only 5% strongly approved. 50% strongly disapproved. These days her approval rating hovers somewhere in the 25% range. Those are challenging numbers even for Chicago elections in which polls matter much less than poll workers and counting the votes is the real democracy.
That didn’t stop Mayor Lightfoot from announcing that she was running again during the summer. Chicagoans greeted it with the same enthusiasm as a dead rat in the gutter.
“I get angry. They say, sometimes, I take things personally. You know what I say? They’re absolutely right,” Lightfoot rambled in her reelection video.
City residents have been taking her crime wave personally. And they’re angry too.
In a true testament to Lightfoot’s talent for racial healing, even black voters are turning on her as Chicagoans of all races and creeds come together to say that they’d rather have Al Capone’s corpse as mayor..
“Lori Lightfoot has a problem and it’s interesting for a black woman to have a black problem,” a local political analyst observed.
That’s odd because according to Mayor Lightfoot, her only problem is that she’s a black woman in a racist and sexist city.
Lightfoot claimed that “about 99%” of the attacks on her are because she’s a black woman.
“Women and people of color are always held to a different standard,” she whined. And claimed that men “don’t like to see a woman assume power.”
But, nobody, including black people and women, seem to want her to assume power again.
With 5 black candidates running against her, Lightfoot doesn’t have a base anymore except the one in the mirror. But that hasn’t stopped her from blaming everything on racism and sexism.
“I don’t look or sound like any other mayor we’ve ever had before, and I’ve had to fight to get a seat at the table,” Lightfoot complained in her reelection announcement, taking the familiar aggrandizing and self-pitying tone that grated on the city throughout her entire mayoral career.
Absent from the Hillaryesque pitch is any reason why normal people should care.
The implicit message is that anyone who votes against her is a sexist racist or a racist sexist. And with polls showing her doomed to defeat, Chicago must be the most sexist racist city ever.
If only 25% approve of Lightfoot, 99% of the other 75% must be bigots according to her math.
Or maybe it’s the 3,561 “shooting incidents” in Chicago last year which makes the Iraqis in Edgewater nostalgic for their homeland. There’s the 6-year-olds being shot and 5 people being robbed in one hour. And a general sense that the city is even more broken than usual.
Beneath the bluster, Mayor Lightfoot is feeling desperate. Her $16 billion boondoggle budget refrained from the traditional property tax hike: passing the buck in the hopes of managing public anger. Like a whirligig, Lightfoot twirls through contradictory claims, from blaming State’s Attorney Kim Foxx for crime to embracing her, from attacking the police to promising to invest in more police helicopters, from claiming to fight corruption to giving herself a 5% pay hike.
In a fundamentally divided city, Chicagoans are united in being sick and tired of Lightfoot.
It wasn’t all that long ago that Mayor Lightfoot announced her racist policy of refusing to let white reporters interview her. These days fewer reporters of any color would even bother and even fewer readers and viewers would pay any attention to the latest excuses and lies.
With Lori, everything is always someone else’s fault. After a weekend in which over 100 people were shot, she complained that “we are seeing historic levels of violence” and “yet we see people in Congress sitting on their hands and not doing anything.”
After Officer Ella French was shot and killed, police officers at the hospital turned their backs to her. Her father yelled at the mayor who has tried to blame a Columbus statue for the murder of police officers.
“Get that f—— statue back before noon tomorrow or I am going to have you fired,” Lightfoot allegedly yelled at a government lawyer who had tried to negotiate a deal with Italian-American groups to restore the statue..
“You make some kind of secret agreement with Italians. … You are out there stroking your d—- over the Columbus statue, I am trying to keep Chicago police officers from being shot and you are trying to get them shot,” Lightfoot ranted. “My d— is bigger than yours and the Italians, I have the biggest d— in Chicago.”
Lightfoot then convened a Chicago Monuments Project Advisory Committee which called for “artistic interventions” targeting statues of Lincoln, Franklin, Grant and Washington.
But those statues are likely to outlive the city’s racist mayor.
A whole lot more Chicagoans like Washington and Lincoln than Lori Lightfoot. And the 2023 election is likely to do to her political career what her racist mobs did to the city’s statues.
The statue of Columbus that stood proudly in Grant Park until it was assailed by Black Lives Matter racist mobs and removed by the racist mayor is still absent. But it would not be hard to imagine a Columbus comeback after she has been sent packing.
As part of her $16 billion equity budget, Lightfoot wanted to build a whole lot of affordable ‘tiny homes’ of 500 square feet each.
Next year, she can go live in one.

Amazon Pressed To Pull Anti-Semitic Film in Wake of Kyrie Irving Scandal
Amazon is under pressure to stop selling an anti-Semitic film that has become a certified best seller on the retail website since basketball star Kyrie Irving promoted it on social media.
Sales of the film Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America skyrocketed on Amazon after Irving promoted it. The film labels the Holocaust one of "five major falsehoods" and promotes the view that white people of the Jewish faith are "not the real Jews."
Amazon’s decision to cash in on the film’s popularity is fueling calls from an anti-Semitism watchdog for the retail giant to pull the documentary, according to a letter sent on Sunday to Amazon and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
"It is imperative we learn the lessons from history and accordingly urge you to immediately remove Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America from your platform," the International Legal Forum (ILF), a pro-Israel advocacy group composed of international lawyers, wrote to Amazon executive chair Jeff Bezos and company CEO Andy Jessy. "With antisemitism exploding to record levels across [the] United States, including violence against Jews, there can be zero tolerance for the promulgation of such hatred, incitement, and antisemitism."
The film’s newfound popularity, the group warns, could contribute to a rising tide of anti-Semitic violence across America. The film "is no different to the notorious antisemitic conspiracy manual The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, just adapted for modern consumption and made even more toxic by virtue of social media glorification," the ILF wrote. The ILF is sending out similar letters to the film's other major distributors, including Apple, Spotify, Walmart, and Barnes & Noble. The organization says it wants to make sure the movie "does not see the light of day."
Irving, a member of the Brooklyn Nets, sparked a scandal last week with his promotion of the movie and prompted the Nets to suspend him after he refused to apologize for mainstreaming anti-Semitism.
The Irving scandal also dealt a blow to one of the United States’ most venerable Jewish community organizations, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The organization said it had helped educate Irving on the harm his rhetoric caused but was forced to walk that back after the ball player doubled down on his promotion of the film and its anti-Semitic content. The ADL also was forced to reject a $1 million donation from Irving and the Nets that was supposed to help the group combat hate.
The film not only denies the Holocaust but also claims Jewish people falsified the historical record about it in order to "conceal their nature and protect their status and power." It also claims that white people cannot be authentic Jews, a belief that inspired the deadly 2019 shooting at a kosher supermarket in New Jersey.
The film also "gives voice to and amplifies a host of other common and long-standing antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories about Jewish power, greed, and control," according to the ILF.
While free speech remains a cornerstone of American public life, "words also have consequences and inspire real life action, violence, and acts of racial hatred," the group wrote, adding that it "calls for the immediate removal of this film and book from distribution."
Irving’s "social media glorification" of the work is turning it into a modern-day Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a notoriously anti-Semitic tome revered by Jew-haters globally.
There is precedent for Amazon removing such content. Earlier this year, the company pulled dozens of Nazi propaganda films and other anti-Semitic movies from its streaming platform. Prior to that, Amazon was "the world's largest purveyor of original Nazi propaganda films," according to a watchdog group that provided the Free Beacon with information about the films in January.
"It is extremely disappointing that Amazon is yet to issue any official response. For a company that prides itself on being a responsible corporate citizen, committed to prohibiting hateful conduct on its platform, they are seemingly instead content to profiteer from Holocaust distortion and Jew hatred," ILF CEO Arsen Ostrovsky told the Free Beacon.
Amazon did not respond to a request for comment.

Fiasco: Anti-Defamation League in Hot Water After Botched Attempt To Partner With Anti-Semite Kyrie Irving
NBA star Kyrie Irving left the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) with egg on its face after the group pledged to partner with Irving and his team, the Brooklyn Nets, to steer a $1 million donation to Jewish organizations following Irving promotion of an anti-Semitic documentary. Then, on Thursday, Irving said that — actually — he had nothing to apologize for.
Now, the ADL is backtracking, with CEO Jonathan Greenblatt pledging not to take any money from Irving but saying he is nonetheless willing to "engage in a process of healing and learning" with the unapologetic anti-Semite.
"Although we will not accept any funds from him, if Kyrie is open to direct dialogue to repair the harm that he has caused and to engage in a process of healing and learning in a sincere manner, [ADL] is open to engaging with him," Greenblatt said. "Time and action will tell."
Irving ignited a media firestorm last week by promoting a book and movie that denies the Holocaust occurred and portrays Jewish people as a nefarious bogeyman. Irving issued a statement admitting responsibility for the "negative impact" of his post but ultimately doubled down this week, saying during a Thursday press conference, "I cannot be anti-Semitic."
The brouhaha over Irving’s anti-Semitic beliefs is a blow to one of America’s oldest and most respected Jewish institutions. The ADL, under the leadership of former Obama administration official Greenblatt, has been plagued by accusations it provides cover to Democrats while only exerting pressure on conservative voices it sees as promoting anti-Semitic views. In recent years, the ADL has charged a litany of conservative groups with promoting anti-Semitism while ignoring similar instances on the left, prompting some in the Jewish community to call it an "echo chamber of left-wing Democratic politics." The ADL also has made overtures to the anti-Semitic Black Lives Matter movement despite its support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, as well as the far-left anti-Israel group J Street.
"This is another unfortunate misstep for an ADL that seems to have placed partisanship and even fundraising ahead of fighting antisemitism," Rabbi Yaakov Menken, managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, America’s largest rabbinic public policy group, told the Washington Free Beacon. "After curating a false narrative tying anti-Semitism to white supremacy above all else, it rushed to take a donation from Irving instead of the real consequences that, as ESPN sportscasters have pointed out, the NBA would immediately have levied against someone endorsing bigotry against any other minority group. The ADL bought into a double standard because Irving doesn't fit the narrative they painted. One can only hope they learn from this embarrassment."
The Nets suspended Irving indefinitely as a result of his refusal to apologize for spreading Jew hatred.
The star player first courted criticism when he promoted a movie called Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America, which promotes a slew of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and tropes. The Brooklyn Nets condemned Irving’s social media posts and, in a joint statement with the ADL, Irving said he opposes "all forms of hatred and oppression and stand[s] strong with communities that are marginalized and impacted every day."
The statement was issued with a pledge by the Nets and Irving to each donate $500,000 to organizations like the ADL that combat hate and anti-Semitism.
"In light of the events from the past week, we commend the Brooklyn Nets and Kyrie Irving for listening to the concerns of everyone who spoke out against anti-Semitism and taking it as an opportunity to learn and do better," the ADL tweeted on Wednesday.
That good will, however, crumbled by Thursday, when Irving stood his ground during a bizarre press conference in which he "refused to say he was sorry, refused to say he didn’t hold anti-Semitic beliefs, refused to say the Holocaust happened and cast himself as the victim in the entire saga," according to the New York Post.
Irving, during that press conference, claimed, "I cannot be anti-Semitic if I know where I come from."
The episode forced Greenblatt’s ADL to make an about-face on the issue. The ADL leader said on Friday that his organization will no longer accept any funds from Irving or the Nets but that it is open to further engagement.
"Although we will not accept any funds from him, if Kyrie is open to direct dialogue to repair the harm that he has caused and to engage in a process of healing and learning in a sincere manner, ADL is open to engaging with him. Time and action will tell," Greenblatt tweeted.
Greenblatt also said he supports the NBA team’s decision to indefinitely suspend Irving, writing in a tweet that the player "has been given ample opportunity to do the right thing, apologize and condemn antisemitism. He has failed at almost every step along the way. This suspension is well-deserved."
An ADL spokesman directed the Free Beacon to Greenblatt's tweets when questioned about the episode.
Charles Jacobs, president of the Jewish Leadership Project, an advocacy group, told the Free Beacon that the episode should serve as a wake-up call to the ADL.
"The ADL, the Jewish community’s most powerful defense agency, has been downplaying or ignoring Jew-hatred from politically incorrect sources—leftist anti-Zionists, Islamist preachers, and black supremacists—for decades, yet they’ll accuse right-wingers of anti-Semitism even when, sometimes, there isn’t any," Jacobs said. "They have abandoned their mission and become little more than another left-wing political organization, therefore losing credibility within the Jewish community that is suffering from the surge in Jew-hatred that built under their watch."
Irving explicitly apologized Thursday night after the suspension was handed down, saying he was "deeply sorry" for promoting false anti-Semitic narratives. The Nets, however, said the late apology is not sufficient to end the suspension, and Irving will not play until he takes concrete steps to address his anti-Semitic views.
"Such failure to disavow antisemitism when given a clear opportunity to do so is deeply disturbing, is against the values of our organization, and constitutes conduct detrimental to the team," the Nets said in a statement issued on Thursday. "Accordingly, we are of the view that [Irving] is currently unfit to be associated with the Brooklyn Nets. We have decided that Kyrie will serve a suspension without pay until he satisfies a series of objective remedial measures that address the harmful impact of his conduct."
MSNBC Invites Prominent Anti-Semite To Discuss Why Anti-Semites Should Be Canceled
Host Joe Scarborough sponsored congressional resolution condemning Al Sharpton's 'racist and anti-Semitic views'
What happened? MSNBC's Morning Joe invited Al Sharpton to discuss his thoughts on Adidas cutting ties with Kanye West in response to the rapper's blatantly anti-Semitic comments. "‘Do you have a moral compass?' every company ought to ask," Sharpton said after slamming Kanye's "intentional" anti-Semitism.
Seriously? Yes.
Al Sharpton? The prominent anti-Semite? Yes. That's the one. The racist provocateur and tracksuit icon who inflamed the Crown Heights riots of August 1991, one of the worst outbursts of anti-Semitic violence in modern American history.
Sharpton delivered a eulogy for Gavin Cato, the seven-year-old whose accidental death intimated the violence that followed, during which he ranted against Jews. "Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights. The issue is not anti-Semitism; the issue is apartheid," he said. One funeral attendee held a sign that read, "Hitler didn't finish the job."
Weeks earlier, Sharpton had publicly defended Leonard Jeffries Jr., a professor of black studies at City College of New York who accused Jews of financing the slave trade and creating "a system of destruction for black people." Sharpton held a rally and blasted the professor's critics. "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house," he fumed.
What the hell? Indeed. Speaking of which, that's how Sharpton described the Jewish state of Israel during a brief visit while attempting to make a citizen's arrest. Like being "in hell."
Sounds like Al Sharpton's anti-Semitism was "intentional," right? It definitely was. During his interview on Morning Joe to discuss the Kanye West situation, however, Sharpton alluded to his past anti-Semitism by suggesting he had accidentally said some "things that are harmful and could be interpreted wrong." He didn't really "mean it," unlike Kanye.
And the people at MSNBC really buy that? They don't care. It's been more than four years since MSNBC host Joy Reid claimed a hacker planted homophobic, Islamophobic, and anti-Semitic comments on her old blog. She hired a cybersecurity expert and notified the FBI, but we're still awaiting the results of that so-called investigation. Reid was promoted in 2020.
Has Sharpton ever apologized? Not really. In a 2020 article commemorating the Crown Heights riots, Tablet magazine editor at large Liel Leibovitz wrote: "As the years went by, Sharpton was given ample opportunity to apologize for his prominent role in this modern day anti-Semitic bloodletting. He never did."
When MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was a congressman, did he ever sponsor a resolution condemning Sharpton for his "racist and anti-Semitic views"? He did! In March 2000, then-Rep. Scarborough (R., Fla.) introduced a concurrent resolution blasting Sharpton's "vicious verbal anti-Semitic attacks directed at members of the Jewish faith," as well as his "fierce demagoguery [that] incited violence, riots, and murder in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York."
