SJW suffer selective outrage syndrome

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

Virtue signaling social justice warriors have some blind spots. They deface the Castleman statue and demand its removal without grasping the full context of John Castleman‘s story.

But never mind the facts. Hide that horrible monument from the WOKE folks. Their pure hearts have never made mistakes or been in need of longterm enlightenment.

Have the WOKE warriors ever watched clips of Muhammad Ali when he promoted racial segregation? Ali fiercely preached against white and black people dating or daring to make babies.

“Every intelligent person wants his child to look like him. I want to blot out my race and lose my beautiful identity? Who want to spot up yourself and kill your race?”

No one is throwing paint all over the Muhammad Ali Center or on Muhammed Ali Boulevard signs because he used to believe that “Chinese people wanna be with Chinese. Pakistanis want to be with their own kind.”

Our self-appointed Social Justice Warrior city purifiers have missed a few other “evil racists” who are posthumously honored in Louisville. Why haven’t they stomped on the evil, racist, criminal Bingham family, or a newspaperman who wrote of his vile hatred of African Americans?

It’s selective outrage, that’s why. Most Louisvillians have likely traveled hundreds of times on the Watterson Expressway, named for The Courier-Journal’s first editor Henry Watterson. His nickname was Marse, which means “master.” Message!

Here are some facts about Good Ol’ Marse Watterson from a 2018 CJ 150th anniversary retrospective:

Considering Watterson’s horrible sins from 100 years ago that are overlooked by SJW, should we rename I-264 as Hypocrisy Highway?

It sounds as if Henry Watterson would have loved the late Senator Wendell Ford, who famously said the n-word on the WHAS Radio in 1995, a few years after the Binghams sold their media properties.

Sen. Wendell Ford, parttime radio shock jock

No one is defacing signs or buildings where Wendell Ford or Henry Watterson are celebrated. Nor is any social justice warrior demanding that the Bingham name be stricken from any place of prominence.

Hmmm. Another heaping helping of SJW blind spotting? Let’s meet several generations of the heralded Bingham family of Louisville.

CLICK: BINGHAM BOOK EXCERT IN VANITY FAIR

From the book “The Patriarch, the Rise of Fall of the Bingham Dynasty” comes this little gem about our progressive newspaper publisher and his wife. Barry Sr. and his wife Mary Bingham (both deceased) regularly used the affectionate term “our dear n*gs” when referencing the hired help at their massive Glenview estate.

In another Bingham book called “House of Dreams,” it is noted that Mrs. Bingham had the family swimming pool drained after an African American son of their gardener took a swim in it. The Bingham’s sons Barry Jr. and Worth invited the teenager to swim, and were later stunned at their mother’s racist reaction.

Horrors! The University of Louisville couldn’t yank Papa John’s name off of its football stadium fast enough after John Schnatter used the n-word in a training call, but U of L proudly houses a Bingham named therapy center connected to its medical school.

Schnatter was referencing raw language used by KFC founder Col. Harland Sanders when he reportedly said the n-word. Papa John’s life was completely dismantled as the pizza company forced him off the property, revoked his chairman status, and scrubbed all references to him from its marketing. Papa John was ghosted by the very company he started all by himself.

Total double standard virtue signaling from a weak-kneed, over reactionary U of L administration. Bingham bucks are fine, Schnatter’s are not. Uh, OK.

About 100 years ago, the money to buy The Courier-Journal (and later WHAS Radio and WHAS Television) was acquired by Judge Robert Worth Bingham, a man deeply in debt and aware that his college girlfriend had just inherited $100 million. Just weeks after burying his wife Eleanor Bingham, Robert “Bob” Bingham was wooing the widow of the founder of Standard Oil.

How convenient. Bingham and Mary Kenan Flagler were soon married. They agreed that Bob would not be included in her will, all proceeds slated to return to her Kenan family of origin. That is, until the new Mrs. Bingham suddenly became addicted to morphine. She needed it for chronic pain from the syphilis her loving hubby gave her.

Once Mr. Bingham convinced the ailing Mrs. Bingham to sign a codicil granting him $5 million dollars from her vast estate, she was thoughtful enough to die not long thereafter.

WHAS building

The raw truth is that The Courier-Journal, WHAS Radio, WHAS-TV, and Standard Gravure (rotogravure printing) were funded by syphilis. So are the many philanthropic projects directed by the Bingham family.

Filthy rich but burdened with poor decision making, Mary Kenan Flagler Bingham had little chance against a scheming playa saddled with crippling debt.

Robert Worth Bingham, syphilitic media magnate

Should we crush the memories of 19th century greedy horndogs, Nation of Islam segregationists, or anyone who pursued the wrong cause, or used vile racist language over 100 years ago? Or fifty years ago?

In spite of the seedy acquisition of Bingham wealth, it did boost Louisville’s arts, health, and outdoor offerings. Must they be scrubbed from history like the pizza nitwit uttering a racist word?

Hell, no. The journey from 1776 to 2020 was lined with enlightenment, compassion, and willingness to change. Human enlightenment accelerated through the 1960s and has expanded mightily in recent years.

People stumble or use unsavory words in public that are ironically plentiful (and accepted) in music and theater arts.

Tribalism threatens to send everyone back to their specifically segregated segments of communities, and that is regression.

When sanity returns and human frailty is recognized, SJWs will be on the wrong side of history. Social Justice Warriors are the Senator Joe McCarthys of today. Their crusades to annihilate people are not unlike the Salem witch trials. Kill ’em first, check facts later.

Let people learn from their mistakes without eradicating their very existence just to make an accuser feel saintly. One finger pointing at another leaves four pointing back at you. Chooooo chooooo…and the karma train never forgets.

Mitch McConnell checks in from Twitter jail to talk guns and protesters

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell gave me an exclusive interview today that made news around the world. Senator McConnell finally addressed gun reform issues that have roiled America following last week’s dual mass shootings.

McConnell, homebound and healing from a fractured shoulder, also talked about protesters shouting threatening, profane chants at his home during late evening hours.

My phone started blowing up right away with links to The New York Times, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, ABC, and others who blasted out many of McConnell’s quotes about his call from President Trump that morning and how to slog forward to find bipartisan agreement on background checks, red flag laws, and more.

New York Times, August 8, 2019

According to McConnell, Trump is “anxious” to get some movement on gun legislation.

McConnell also gave his first comments on the profane protesters shouting for hours at night in front of his home. The organizer put it all on Facebook live but the McConnell “Team Mitch” twitter account was suspended with a directive to delete the protester video for its violent language and content.

The day after our radio interview, Twitter execs reopened the Team Mitch account. Multiple GOP groups threatened to pull advertising dollars for Republican candidates but Twitter claims they “reviewed this case more closely” and restored the account. Um…OK.

Team Mitch used a GIF of Mitch’s head on the body of “Shawshank Redemption” character Andy Dufresne just after he escapes the notorious prison.

McConnell told me he is not scared in his home and would “not be intimidated” by the swarm of haters outside. The senator claimed he doesn’t hear their chants while he watches baseball games.

The Courier Journal reports that state representative Attica Scott continues to suggest that protesters keep harassing McConnell at his home, where he eats, anyplace he goes.

Later, Kentucky Sports Radio’s Matt Jones came on the radio with me to discuss how his media career will continue during a (potential) senate run against McConnell. Jones and I dove into issues about guns, spirituality, raunchy protesters, and why he still chooses to receive a paper paycheck.

It’s been one year since John Schnatter’s n-word destroyed his legacy. He has one path to public redemption.

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

One year ago, “Papa John” Schnatter contacted me to interview him on the radio. Schnatter’s glorious life was unraveling after intense blowback from the pizza magnate’s use of the n-word on a training call.

The interview got national media attention and online snark but Schnatter’s freefall was in an unstoppable plunge. Instead of reversing the narrative, our 28 minute chat only solidified the image that Papa John wasn’t ready to sincerely apologize. He said that was coerced into saying the n-word by people who were out to get him banished.

But it was Schnatter who was at fault. All he needed to do was literally say “n-word” instead of saying the actual word. But he chose to use the nuclear bomb of words and has never had a moment’s peace since.

It was one of several ignorant comments Schnatter had uttered in the past few years. In an earnings call, Schnatter worried aloud about the cost of paying health care for his employees. He later slammed NFL players who knelt during The Star Spangled Banner, leading to declining TV ratings. In Schnatter’s estimation, that led to declining pizza sales.

In July 2019, Schnatter is still MIA. He doesn’t answer texts. He doesn’t make public appearances. He just sells shares of of his Papa John’s stock and stays in hiding as his personal empire fades.

My opinion is that the public flogging of Schnatter was way overdone, a symptom of today’s WOKE virtue signaling gone awry.

Schnatter donated $1 million to the Louisville Zoo in 2017

A man builds a global company from a broom closet and creates hundreds of thousands of jobs and is simply swept away like tepid bathwater? Insanity.

Schnatter took offense to my question about whether he would move away from Louisville now that his image is so badly damaged. “Why would you even ask me that?” Schnatter snapped.

Over the past twelve months, Schnatter has been shoehorned out of philanthropy that had been his habit over the past 25 years. Charities in the city, state, and other parts of America are not feeling the same love that Schnatter used to throw around.

It’s time for a Schnatter Forgiveness Tour. Set up a foundation, beg for forgiveness for being detached from the pain of everyday working people. and throw lots of money into educational pursuits for African American children.

Schnatter screwed up but it’s not an unforgivable violation. Our overly sensitive culture overplayed this one.

Let’s revisit 1995. The Senate Minority Whip (not a pizza salesman)…the United States Senate Minority Whip Wendell Ford said the n-word live on WHAS Radio. A senator said N-word ON THE AIR and what came of it?

He’s a Democrat…so…crickets.

The Washington Post made note of it in one day’s news cycle. And that was it.

The senator served out his term. No outrage. No WOKE pandemonium.

Imagine if Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had said the n-word. You already know the answer.

Schnatter supported Republican candidates. I think we can all see that his real sin is political affiliation, not word choices.

It’s time to rejoin the human race, John Schnatter. You’re not Papa John. You’re not a political wing man. You’re not a has been.

You’re a guy whose mistakes knocked you out of business. Now is the time to get into the business of helping others, particularly struggling African Americans, move their lives to a more glorious position.

That time I won the Kentucky Derby. Until I didn’t. But at least I won when I took Mary home.

…until the racing stewards cancelled my winning ticket by disqualifying winner Maximum Security. Oops! Ain’t gonna bump no more with no big, fat racehorse.

Yahoo Sports columnist Pat Forde tells the jaw-dropping tale of unbridled elation followed by Maximum Security’s designation as “a racing immortal for all the wrong reasons.”

Country House crosses the finish line second but ultimately wins the race.

President Trump weighed in with a misspelled tweet, later reposted with the correct spelling of Kentucky.

PGA star Justin Thomas aces the philanthropy challenge with his new foundation to assist needy children, junior golf, and military families

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

Mike, Jani, and Justin Thomas

Louisville’s first family of golf launched the Justin Thomas Foundation to help needy children, junior golf programs, and military families. 🏌🏾‍♂️⛳️ The great ones never forget their hometown. 🏆

Terry Meiners, Justin Thomas, April 17, 2019

Great to chat with Justin again. The last time we spoke, he was a 14-year-old who’d just won a tournament and his mom was driving him home. He’s still shy and humble even though he’s won a PGA Championship, the FedEx Cup, and has been ranked at the top of the world golf list. Not too shabby for a Saint X boy who “scrambled to play at any course” and met up with teammates at tournaments.

JT loves his hometown adventures when he gets a chance to visit.

Louisville Metro Parks dedicated a golf facility in Justin’s honor.

Seattle is dying. Louisville wants to be Seattle. Why?

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

KOMO TV reporter Eric Johnson reports on how homelessness combined with “twinkle toes” political leadership leads to the death of a great city.

Seattle is known as Free-attle, where those “unwilling to work” are drawn to fake dreams of free food, free drugs, free housing, and freedom from self-discipline.

Cops have very little power. Drug abuse is ignored by the city leadership. Homeless camps filled with drug addicts are all over downtown Seattle. Why would tourists want to visit?

Louisville leadership’s “compassionate city” mantra is a small-scale replica of Seattle’s path to destruction. Louisville turns a blind eye to much criminal activity, ubiquitous graffiti, and drug laws. Mayor Greg Fischer continually preaches tolerance and understanding of his determination of “the marginalized.”

The Louisville Office of Resilience is expensive societal experimentation with little more than hope as a mission statement.

Citizens and shop owners pay taxes but receive limited security and threats of diminishing city services unless Mayor Greg Fischer gets a tax hike on insurance. The mayor’s primary attention is focused on compassion, not on the people who pay taxes.

One list already shows Louisville is the 8th highest taxed city in America.

Louisville wants to be Seattle. Hopefully Seattle’s crushing troubles will awaken Louisville leaders to the reality of gutlessness disguised as compassion.

Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and Terry Meiners, June 2018
