Why such a sourpuss, Joy-Ann? On the whole, life and MSNBC are treating you pretty well. And yet, over the last 10 years, you have complained pretty much nonstop about how badly you, and people who look like [you], are treated in America.

I will take on faith, Joy-Ann, that your life up to age 16 spent in the racist hellscape that was 1980s Denver, Colorado was practically a maelstrom of cross burnings, Night Riders and segregated water fountains.

Lets focus on the recent past.

You were admitted to Harvard with SAT scores that would have gotten an Asian kid disowned by his parents.

You manage to keep your show at MSNBC with ratings that would get a white person canceled.

People try harder to laugh at your excruciating jokes than they would for a male of any race.

Plus, I have it on good authority that no one at MSNBC has pestered you about touching your hair.

Your brief daytime show on MSNBC made ratings history, garnering only 38,000 viewers in the demo its first day on air the lowest for the entire network! That inched up to 56,000 viewers two days later, the second lowest for the network. Ronan Farrows show debuted the same week. But while he was quickly cashiered for poor ratings you were promoted, even though he is white and you are Black. Dodged a bullet there!

You werent prosecuted for making a false FBI report when you claimed that right-wing saboteurs had hacked your blog, planting long, venomous threads about gay people. It seems your go-to attack for celebrities and Republicans is to accuse them of being gay. (For example, you described Dick Cheney topping off Sean Hannity and repeatedly ran your Top 5 totally not gay celebrities of the year.)

Nor were you fired for your preposterous, and quickly disproved, lies about having been hacked when it was you who mocked people for being gay including Oprah.

Your many, many blog posts sneering at gays were written just 10 years earlier, when you were an adult and a professional journalist. Meanwhile, teenagers even white ones! are being thrown out of college for the stupid things they said on Snapchat when they were 15. But you came through like a champ, without consequence despite being Black!

Indeed, instead of firing you, MSNBC gave you a prime-time show. This is the network that canned Chris Matthews (astonishingly, another white male) for telling girls theyre pretty. And who took the humiliated Matthews time slot? YOU DID! Despite the fact that he is white and you are Black.

Actually, if you think about it, in a deeply racist, majority-white country, youve done pretty well issuing nonstop libels against white people. Here are three recent quotes:

Joy-Ann: Ill say it again: People on the right would trade all the tax cuts for the ability to openly say the N-word like in the good old days.

That comment, like many made by you, seems at variance with the facts, and not based in reality. But has your delusional hatred of white Americans held you back? Not sos youd notice.

Joy-Ann: Currently, most K-12 students already learn a kind of Confederate Race Theory, whereby the Daughters of the Confederacy long ago imposed a version of history wherein slavery was not so bad and had nothing to do with the civil war, and lynchings and violence never happened.

Were you taught Confederate Race Theory at your high school, Joy-Ann? You know, the high school in Denver, Colorado, in the 1980s? My heart wants to believe you, but my head is telling me, This woman is a lunatic fantasist.

Ill tell you why I say that. Just 10 years after you matriculated at Denvers diverse Montbello High School, a Nation of Islam minister was invited to speak, whereupon he told the assembly (all boys, no girls allowed) that, while Blacks were building the Egyptian pyramids, white people ate their dead and slept with animals. Even you have to admit, THAT wasnt racist.

Joy-Ann: (I love boxing because) its a sport, even at the turn of the 20th century, where a Black man could beat up a white man in front of an entire crowd and not get lynched.

Wow. People who are actually descended from American slaves Joy-Ann is not one of them dont hate white Americans that much. Yet, strangely, white Americans, despite being white, havent held that against you.

Your immigrant parents came here in the late 1960s, settling in Iowa. Perhaps you rank Iowa up there with Denver as a bastion of Jim Crow, but even you would have to concede it was a step up from Guyana and the Congo.

While having zero American slave ancestry, you have managed to elbow aside actual descendants of American slaves (DOAS), gobbling up the benefits earned by their ancestors suffering, and intended for them. That was a good deal for you!

Finally, notwithstanding the White Power Structure, you have a job that reportedly pays $1.5 million a year, which is more than 99.9 percent of Americans make even several white ones! All in all, that doesnt sound so bad.

Ann Coulter: This Thanksgiving, Joy-Ann Reid has much to be thankful for - Marshall News Messenger

It is the other major networks that lie, cover up or won't cover stories of the Democrats' misconduct and corruption. They lie about police shootings as well as the stories about Kyle Rittenhouse and Nick Sandmann, claiming Rittenhouse was guilty of murder and Sandmann was abusing an innocent Native American man.

They will lie about the police shooting a Black man that has committed a crime or is wanted for crimes. They falsely claim the victim is innocent, unarmed and a pillar of the community. They do this no mater what the evidence is.

They lie, cover up or won't cover the stories of the sexual abuse by former President Bill Clinton, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and President Joe Biden. The Democrat politicians are afraid to tell the truth to their addled brained voters because they will lose their votes.

They continue to do this in so many other stories like the false claims of collusion between former President Donald Trump and Russia. The corruption committed by Biden and his son Hunter along with Hillary Clinton. They have been after Trump even before he announced his candidacy. They all laughed and thought it preposterous when Ann Coulter said Trump would be the candidate. So much for those brilliant minds.

They took Christine Blasey Ford's word as gospel and judged Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh guilty no mater what the other testimony said. They incessantly say the exact same words as their counterparts say. They all jump onto the next story and twist and lie to keep their sheep in the fold.

Now I will give Tony Bender a back-handed compliment. It was good to see him use some common sense, no mater how hard it was for him. There wasn't any other conclusion but innocent in the Rittenhouse case.

I want you to visualize this scenario. A Black man was accused and found innocent of raping and killing a young girl. Riots erupted and stores and vehicles were looted and burned. The protesters were joined by members of the Ku Klux Klan. Two Black youths were asked to help defend a friend's business. While doing this they were confronted by the mob. They were verbally abused, threatened with their lives and attacked. They defended themselves and were chased by several law-violating thugs. They shot three of them in self defense.

Now Fox News would be wrong to claim them guilty of murdering or trying to murder the three individuals. But that is what several major networks and talk shows falsely claimed Rittenhouse was guilty of.

So which networks are the most untruthful? I could list many other stories where these networks and major newspapers like the New York Times falsely try to convince their viewers of individuals being guilty of committing rape or other serious crimes. Fox News makes mistakes but they are angels compared to the other lying hypocrite networks.

I would vote for Trump again, but he would have to watch his mouth and use a lot more tact in his statements. Maybe, though, he has to fight fire with fire.

Letter: The mainstream media are the real liars - INFORUM

Ann Coulter, conservative commentator and author, described the left-wing subtext of Kyle Rittenhouses murder trial as a demand for conservatives to just stand there and be murdered when attacked by leftists.

We are supposed to just stand there and be murdered, Coulter said on Fridays edition of SiriusXMs Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow. Thats our obligation, because the media decided they dont like us.

Coulter highlighted Rittenhouses presence of mind and skilled shooting during the events captured on video.

She remarked, There are a lot of people Kyle could have shot if its just, Oh my gosh, Im panicked, Im shooting! Oh no, he was very precise shooting someone who was about to kill him, to take his gun, kill him, kill others.I was thinking as I often do, as Im sure you and your listeners do thank God for cell phone cameras.

Coulter noted that Gaige Grosskreutz, a witness in the trial, was essentially forced to admit the truth of events due to existence of video documentation. She speculated that Grosskreutz would have lied about the events in the absence of video evidence.

There is no way that revolutionary the one who had his arm blown off as he was pointing a gun feet away from Kyle Rittenhouses head theres no way he would have told [the truth], Coulter said. I was sort of surprised watching his testimony, Oh my gosh. He keeps telling the truth, and then I realized theres a video of this.He cant deny that. He was pointing the gun at Kyle Rittenhouse from five feet away when Kyle fired.

Rittenhouses marksmanship in disarming Grosskreutz without lethality was praised by Coulter as noted how leftists regularly oppose their political opponents use of self-defense.

She stated, Thats some good shooting to shoot the arm holding the gun. Thats the crazy thing. Liberals are always saying after a shooting, usually [after] a self-defense, Oh, why couldnt you shoot him in the leg? People who know anything about guns know youre not going to get that precise.You are shooting to stop the threat. Youre lucky if you hit any place on the body and Kyle bam right through the arm holding the gun.That was incredibly impressive.

Coulter also highlighted some background of Joseph Rosenbaum, who was shot and killed by Rittenhouse.

Joseph Rosenbaum, the first one [Rittenhouse] shot he came out of a mental institution that day and was still carrying his little medical bag, she recalled. Hes been convicted of anally raping five little boys convicted, served time in prison for that. So, were dealing with obviously a very mentally ill person. There was a lot of video coverage of him screaming the n-word.

Ann Coulter on Rittenhouse: Left Wants Us to Stand There ...

In What It Takes, the Roy family goes to Washington, D.C. to crown the next Republican presidential candidateof course, after their own interference with coverage on their conservative news network, ATN, convinced the current, temperamental president not to run again. Its a pit of vipers, so naturally, Logan Roy (Brian Cox) is in his element. But as the episode pokes at the unsavory underbelly of American politics, other characters find themselves taking to the environment, too.

Zoe Winters plays Kerry, Logans executive assistant, who has begun to assert herself at meetings, tossing off bold statements to the great delight of Logan and the great consternation of his children, who are worried that they might have to compete with an office flirtation for their fathers attention. Its a sudden move to the forefront for the character, who has been hovering in the background since the end of season two.

She joined at the height of the scandal in the cruise ship division, Winters tells Sonia Saraiya on this weeks episode of Still Watching. I have always been fascinated by the fact that she would choose to join the company at that pointshe would fasten herself to this dysfunction media dynasty as theyre facing this investigation. Winters, who also played a conservative operative in the buzzy Will Arbery play Heroes of the Fourth Turning, looked to operatives like Ann Coulter, Candace Owens, and Tomi Lahren for inspiration.

I really feel like Kerry has some terrifying political positions, Winters adds. She is obsessed with winning. The close relationship Kerry has with Logan stems partly from how dazzled the younger employee is of Logans success, ruthlessness and all. You can hear much more of the conversation with Winters in the episode below:

And of course, it wouldnt be a convention of conservative windbags without Connor Roy (Alan Ruck) doing the rounds. (A bewildered Shiv (Sarah Snook) comments that in a room full of Timothy McVeighs, her hapless older brother looks like a Roosevelt.)

Justine Lupe plays Willa, Connors girlfriend with theatrical aspirations, whose play last season was a dismal failure. The state of Connor and Willas relationship has been a bit of a mystery, but so far in season three, despite the general chaos around them, Connor and Willa have been an inseparable unitfrom holding down the Balkans to schmoozing in D.C. We spot her writing a play on her iPhone before fielding lecherous advances from organizer Stephen Root, whose attention, however unwanted, is good for Connors campaign.

Thats what we all run up against sometimes, explains Lupe. How do I float through this moment not allowing it to get too far, and yet making the other person feel calm? Willa, to her credit, knows her way around these situations. She was an escort. She went out with these guys. She knows how to be the easygoing best-date-ever kind of girl, Lupe adds.

Lupe also speculates with Still Watching on whats keeping Connor and Willa together. She doesnt think its ambition to be a political wife, or anything like that. Shes headstrong. And shes like, and she is protective of herself and shes and consequentially because shes tied to Connor. There is like a protectiveness of their thing together, Lupe says. And the level of denial that she has is so well-matched to Connors denial. I was so pleasantly surprised to see that shes still just like typing awaylike, okay, I have to be here, but Im going to be like working on my thing again.

Before we dive into a discussion on Digital World Acquisition Corp (NASDAQ:DWAC) stock, the controversial special purpose acquisition company that will take Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) public, its helpful to separate the noise from the narrative.

In other words, your personal feelings about former President Trump should not dictate your ultimate decision on DWAC stock.

Instead, its more productive to acknowledge the reality of the underlying situation. For instance, Trump is incredibly popular. I cant think of any former president that had as much sway post-election than The Donald.

That alone is enough to warrant a look at DWAC stock. After all, were in a market environment where collective sentiment plays a greater role than usual.

But what is the source of Trumps charisma? According to an opinion piece by Salon, America loves a bully. Bluntly, contributor Amanda Marcotte wrote in September 2015 that Trump is the affluent bully who revels in his privilege and enjoys stomping on those with less unearned social power than he has. And the Republican base is eating it up.

Granted, Salon leans left politically and the right will find Marcottes description of the former president ungenerous. Nevertheless, the author may be onto something, noting that conservative-leaning audiences lap up shock jocks like the late Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter.

I can tell you one thing. The country that brought the world Hollywood loves simple, digestible narratives: North versus south. Left versus right. Cowboys and Indigenous Americans.

Naturally, DWAC stock by virtue of underlining TMTGs Truth Social platform caters to the binarism that dominates most social and political discourse in the U.S.

Further, when grievances both real and perceived undergird said binarism, you have an incredibly powerful, perhaps unprecedented catalyst.

You want evidence of this catalyst? Then-candidate Donald Trump was able to corral the hurt and suffering whether real or perceived, it doesnt matter of his core voting base and it propelled him to the White House.

He didnt win on the issues. Remember, when Ron Paul was vying for the Republican nomination, the conservative audience booed him for promoting an anti-interventionist stance regarding sanctions on Iran. Just a few years later, then-President Trump attempted a peace negotiation with North Korea.

From the Axis of Evil to shaking hands with Kim Jong Un, Trumps charisma combined with Americas love for binary narratives resulted in astounding events in U.S. history. But somehow, DWAC stock is going to be a failure? It could be, dont get me wrong but the SPAC has less of a credibility challenge to climb.

More importantly, data from the Pew Research Center shows that the underlying business of DWAC stock features a massive addressable market. To no ones surprise, young people regularly consume news through social media platforms.

Significantly, though, two demographics whites and the modestly educated consume a large portion of their news through social media.

Granted, overall, Democrats dominate social media usage relative to Republicans. However, platforms like Truth Social have an opportunity to reach many under-the-radar conservatives, particularly those who feel they have been shamed and denigrated by mainstream institutions.

Again, Trump spoke to millions of Americans who felt this way and it led to powerful results. Why wouldnt the same apply for DWAC stock?

Business Insider provided an interesting take that Generation Z is more conservative than many realize. Considering that conservative social media content creators think alt-right channels before they got de-platformed were outrageously successful, DWACs prospective investors should be licking their lips.

To be clear, no guarantee exists that DWAC stock will be successful. Certainly, anti-Trump advocates on the left are doing everything they can to stymie its progress. However, in my opinion, conservative, even right-wing ideologies taking over social media and the internet is an inevitability.

Why? Liberal and progressive ideologies have become the social norm. Today, we are more socially aware across a library of issues than we ever have been. At some point, being even more liberal and more progressive yields a lower rate of return. Its the sociological version of the law of large numbers.

But you know what will gain quicker and more robust success? Being anti-establishment, deliberately stoking politically incorrect talking points. Its based (as the kids like to say) and its so entertaining because it tickles the reptilian part of our brain.

And tickling, if you think about it, is why the internet exists. Ultimately, binary audiences are easier to manipulate and thereby monetize. Its how one old man got eviscerated for wanting to be friends with Iran but how another old man was celebrated for befriending North Korea.

Binarism. Theres no drug like it. And thats exactly what a share of DWAC stock gets you.
