Dave Chappelle won the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor which goes to show you that:

One: The Mark Twain Prize is still a legitimate award and not a way for the Woke to reward themselves like what happened to the Hugo Awards.

Two: The woke will now go after the Mark Twain Prize, infiltrate its parent organization, and turn it into a Woke joke.

When Chappelle was asked about political correctness, which he brazenly defied during his latest special, this was his response:

Dave Chappelle: "Political correctness has its place… I, personally, am not afraid of other people's freedom of expression. I don't use it as a weapon. It just makes me feel better. And I'm sorry if I hurt anybody. Etc., etc. Yada, yada, yada. Everything I'm supposed to say." pic.twitter.com/xOTyST29ZC

“Yada, yada, yada, fart noise” is the correct response to political correctness.

That alone is fantastic, but what else he did raises his winning of this award to the level of epic.

Dave Chappelle: Second Amendment ‘Is Just in Case the First One Doesn’t Work Out’

In what he said was an unscripted acceptance speech on Sunday night, comedian Dave Chappelle continued his recent campaign against cancel culture—while openly defying a smoking ban and defending the right to bear arms too.

Chappelle was fêted on Sunday night in Washington, D.C., as this year’s recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, a lifetime achievement award bestowed annually by the Kennedy Center. Known for his irreverent and boundary-pushing sketch comedy show and standup routines, Chappelle has never shied away from an opportunity to eviscerate political correctness for laughs. Sunday’s event was no different, according to media reports.

“It’s the best part of the First Amendment to me that I’m able to express myself this way and make a viable living doing it,” Chappelle told NPR prior to going on stage Sunday night.

On stage, he reportedly lit up a cigarette—”What are they gonna do? Kick me out before I get the prize?” he said, according to USA Today—and took aim at the same woke scolds who were targets during his recent Netflix standup special.

Saying that he knows comedians who are “very racist” in their jokes, Chappelle asked everyone listening to please chill.

“Don’t get mad at ’em, don’t hate on ’em,” Chappelle said Sunday. “Man, it’s not that serious. The First Amendment is first for a reason. Second Amendment is just in case the first one doesn’t work out.“

Chappelle’s acceptance speech will air on January 7 at 9 p.m. EST on PBS.

Chappelle is totally spot on with that assessment.  It’s even better to hear him say it in Washington DC in front of a bunch of gussied up Liberal patrons of the Kennedy Center.

I read Miguel’s post Heading for a societal breakdown and I have a slightly different take on it than he does.

The original Robocop franchise was rather prescient for being an 80’s action flick.

What I am seeing on the horizon is the plot of Robocop 3, which is borrowed in part from the rise of Socialism in Europe.

In Robocop 3, the department salaries and benefits had been slashed so hard that the cops quit.  Then OCP, which wanted to privatize Detroit hired the Scatterpunk gang as enforcement to terrorize the citizens.

New York, Seattle, Portland, other Blue cities are more and more run by anti-cop city governments.  The Democrats as a whole are turning viciously anti-cop.

I think the point of this is to drive the good cops out of the force and make it impossible to hire new good cops.

Portland police have had to lower standards to increase recruiting, which includes accepting some prior criminal background.

I think where this is ultimately going is these cities openly hiring Antifa, BLM, and other Leftist groups as quasi-police enforcers.

This is what the Soviets did.  They took their most hard hitting thugs and made them secret police, not to enforce the law but to enforce the party line.

We’ve seen police chiefs and sheriffs announce that they won’t enforce Beto’s gun banpolice chiefs and sheriffs announce that they won’t enforce Beto’s gun ban.  If current cops won’t confiscate the guns than get cops who will.  Ones who don’t care about the Constitution but do want to bash NRA members and Republicans.

I think this is strategic.

Amazon’s facial recognition technology falsely matched nearly 30 professional athletes to individuals in a mugshot database, the Massachusetts chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said.

Amazon’s technology, called Rekognition, has faced similar criticism in the past. Earlier this year, the ACLU found that it also mistook one in five California lawmakers for criminals, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Last week, the Massachusetts ACLU chapter announced that it compared headshots of 188 athletes from New England professional sports teams to a database of 20,000 mugshots. The athletes were from the Boston Bruins, the Boston Celtics, the New England Patriots, and the Boston Red Sox.

Amazon’s facial recognition misidentified Boston athletes as criminals

I don’t see the failure. Do you?

Hey Bill de Blasio, you still want to know why police officers are committing suicides more than ever before? Stop tweeting that you are there for them to help them.

They don’t want liberal Progressive leadership. They want to be cops and do Police work, not social work pic.twitter.com/vtAVDpExbC

I am still trying t figure the strategy out. Do liberals really think they will be able to control people without an effective Police department? Even in their most deranged fantasies they have to know they will require some sort of strong presence to impose “peace upon the land.” Are they expecting blind obedience from the Military? Lord knows the Obama administration did copy the best practices of Socialism by weakening a strong Military leadership and leaving behind the politically faithful, but this is not Venezuela or Cuba where subordinate blind obedience is tied to food availability, but a Military who has a history of flipping the bird even at the cost of half a million soldiers. Generals may want to rub elbows with the political hoity toity, but noncom snipers have no urge to participate in the champagne circuit unless they can shoot the bottles (and other things) at 500 yards.

My guess is Liberals want a defining event, a riot so big, people will demand for Government to intervene and Bill of Rights be damned. This has worked in other places and they believe it will work too here in the US… and they are very partially right. In a city like NY? Hell yes! After 3 ot 4 days of rampant crazy and New Yorkers unable to go to the corner sushi place for meals, they will burn the Constitution if they can get their power back and a hot cup of overpriced coffee. Boston? About the same and also D.C. Pittsburg? Not so much, and the farther outside the circle of the major Liberal metropolis, the least the unrest will survive. Antifa or goons on the loose in Miami-Dade county?  It would be an argument between cops and civilians to see who gets to shoot them and dump them in the Everglades to feed the critters. Bitch, we flip the finger to Hurricanes and looters after, Do you think waving a communist flag and breaking windows was a good idea?  You wanted to play The Purge? We have people here who have actually survived real purges by communists. You are a cute street parade in comparison.

And I am sure the similar versions will apply in many locations across the US.

And then it will  be our turn to show Liberals how purges are made.

Code Pink sold itself as an anti-war group after the invasion of Afghanistan and the announcement of the war in Iraq.

Its name comes from the United States Department of Homeland Security’s color-coded alert system (e.g. threat level yellow) and pink because it was a woman founded, woman-led organization.

The reality is that Code Pink is a viciously anti-Semitic, anti-American, hard-Left organization that protests to defend the evils of this world from America.

Remember that it was Code Pink that acted as human shields to defend Venezuela’s embassy and the Maduro supporters in residence there.

Code Pink is currently trying to organize a boycott of Puma brand shoes because they supported the Israeli national soccer team.

Code Pink has taken multiple trips to Iran to defend Iran from sanctions.

But the most recent act by Code Pink is perhaps their most disturbing yet.

This Shabbat was the yahrzeit of the Tree of Life shooting.  A yahrzeit is the annual remembrance of death and is important in the Jewish tradition as a time to say the mourners kaddish for those who have passed.

America’s ambassador to Israel sent out a Tweet as a reminder of this:

As we approach the one yr anniversary of the horrific Tree of Life massacre in Pittsburgh, I have added my name to AJC's #ShowUpForShabbat site. I stand with all those fighting anti-semitism, whether in the USA, Israel or elsewhere. We surely will prevail over this vile scourge.

This is the response from the Co-Director of Code Pink:

Go away. You and your Jewish supremacy, white nationalism contributed to it happening. https://t.co/23HYMGiHuq

So the Jews and Israel are to blame for the Tree of Life shooting?

I guess this is what can be expected from a group that routinely supports Iranian Holocaust denial.

How many times do I have to say it:

Leftist Jews are not Jews, they are Leftists who hang onto their Jewish identity for the victim credit. They gave up their Judaism to worship at the altar of Progressive Socialism.

Any “Jew” who goes on a tour defending Iran and attacking Israel as the problem has long since stopped being a Jew.

My only hope is that whatever Synagogue she attends, the rest of the worshipers there throw her the fuck out the door.  Literally.  Like pick her up and toss her down the front steps.

Jews like me say “never again.”

Jews like her are waiting in line to be Kapos.

Miguel covered the disgusting Washington Post obituary of Abu al-Baghdadi.

But I have to disagree with him, it was not editorial oversight.

Bloomberg News did it too.

As Ian Fleming said: “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.”

This is enemy action in two different newspapers.

This is what happens when a journalist’s brain is eaten up by TDS like mad-cow disease.  They are so focused on being anti-Trump that they write obituaries about mass-murdering, Jihadist rapists like they are civil rights leaders.

Why?

Because Trump authorized and announced the special forces strike on them.

This is how deep their hatred for Trump goes.

Trump could come up with the cure for cancer and give it away for free and the media would report the story as “unemployment spikes as oncology specialists suddenly put out of work by Trump.”

It makes you wonder if they are willing to whitewash the life of one of the worst terrorists since Bin Laden because of Trump, what else are they lying to you about.

As Miguel has mentioned several times, the Democrats have swung hard anti-cop.

Joe Biden had to push the anti-cop message when asked a question by an audience member.

Black student to Democrat Joe Biden: “If I were your daughter, what advice would you give me the next time I am stopped by the police?”

The proper answer is:

“Be polite and be respectful.  Follow all of the officer’s instructions.  Do not argue or try to talk your way out of whatever you have been accused of doing.  If you feel you have been treated unfairly, politely ask for the officer’s name and badge number.  File a report later.  Arguing or getting belligerent is the fastest way to end up in handcuffs or dead.  There is a very good chance your interaction will be captured on dash-cam or body-cam or both.  You want that footage to be on your side by being calm and polite as possible.”

That advice is universal, it transcends race, ethnicity, skin color, sex, gender, or anything else.

The Joe Biden Progressive approved answer is to assume all the police are racist and only pull over black people and not white people.

As a white person, I can assure you that the police do pull over white people.  I have been pulled over a couple of times before.

I can guarantee that every cop who sees this and who is not high-ranking brass in a Blue city (Sheriffs and Police Chiefs are politicians) and/or hard-line union members are turned off by this Democrat anti-cop attitude.

The other answer that Joe Biden could have given, that would be more honest and less pandering to the Progressive crowd is:

“If you were my daughter, every cop in Delaware would know what your license plate number is, and wouldn’t have pulled you over because you are a Biden, because that cop would know I would have had his Chief fire him as a political favor to me.”
