You Cancelled Us and Now We Cancel You

The left birthed cancel culture. They cheered when Aunt Jemimah was erased, when the Redskins were renamed, and when Uncle Ben quietly disappeared. They toppled statues and called it progress.

But they never imagined the blade might swing back.

Stephen Colbert? Fading. Jimmy Kimmel? Flailing. The View? On life support.

There's an old warning: Be careful what you wish for—you might just get it. And they did. They got the culture war they wanted. But they didn't count on the majority waking up.

They thought "woke" was popular. That it was righteous. That it was winning.

Then Bud Light happened. Then Target. Then Cracker Barrel. Then the 2024 election when the Democrats lost everything and Kamala Harris conceded to Donald Trump.

Now the cancellations are coming for them. Not out of spite, but out of clarity. The progressive movement is being rejected—not by fringe voices, but by the silent majority who never bought the message in the first place. 

It was easy to shout when the megaphone was theirs. It was easy to silence dissent when the media played backup. And thus, it was easy to pretend the country had changed.

But it hadn't.

We hadn't.

Our values didn't shift. Our principles didn't vanish. The foundation of this nation—its decency, its grit, its common sense—remained intact. The left just tried to convince us otherwise. Like magicians, they used smoke, mirrors and camera angles to sell the trick.

But we saw through it.

And now the same cancel culture they weaponized is being turned on the false narratives, the curated outrage, and against the phantom majority.

We're setting the record straight.

They stood at podiums, hijacked sporting events, hijacked award shows, and told us what to think. And for a while we listened. Some even nodded along.

Maybe the word DID change, and we just fell a bit behind getting the memo?

But then we talked to each other. We looked around and we realized, "This isn't us. This isn't the whole. This isn't the truth."

So, thank you for the invention. We'll use it now for the common good. Because good always wins. And your mistake was believing evil could prevail.

You tried to cancel everything we hold dear. Now, we're cancelling the lie.

We win.

To Jimmy Kimmel: It's Because America Doesn't Live in Your Bubble

On Wednesday night's broadcast, Jimmy Kimmel told viewers during his monologue that Trump is leading in key swing states and this, "Just gives me a headache." His delivery was slow and melancholy, with him adding, "How could this be?"

I say, it's pretty simple. Biden's just not gotten the job done, and no matter how hard the left tries to sell the nonsense about things going well, it's just not adding up for any thinking American voter—and that happens to be true no matter which side one happens to be on.

In many polls, even many Democrats have lost faith in Biden's abilities. And it's a hard pill for any of these late-night talking heads to swallow, and it shows.

On top of that, there's one thing these lefties and late-night talk show hosts don't get. America is not as woke as you think they are. These guys live in a Hollywood bubble where everyone thinks like they do. They have guests who come on their shows and talk about woke things and they get applause from audiences who are just as woke as they are.

For them, it is affirmation. We ARE America and we are sharing Her views.

The reality is, it's not true. Late night ratings have been in a virtual free fall for years. It's nothing like the old days when Johnny Carson and David Letterman ruled the airwaves and late night was actually funny and entertaining to watch. At the same time, a conservative viewpoint is also beating them out in the ratings with Gutfeld on Fox News leading the pack.

Jimmy Kimmel is getting a headache because he can't see outside the bubble he lives in. The American people aren't okay with high prices at the pump and skyrocketing food costs. They're not okay with having transgenderism shoved down their throats and seeing trans people reading books to school children. People do see the border crisis and understand the dangers it poses.

And the American people aren't okay either with the complete dismissal by the left that America is dying under horrible progressive and liberal agendas that are putting Americans last.

Trump is winning because his message resonates with the majority of the American people, and because most people can see that what they (the left) are doing to Trump is simply trying to take him out, because they know he can win. They can see through the lies being pushed by the media about Trump's threat to democracy, his supposed criminal acts, and this ridiculous idea that he wants to become a dictator—some on the fringe have even suggested Trump will literally kill his political opponents.

The thing is the left thinks the only thing that matters in this race is that Biden isn't Trump. But at the same time, they fail to recognize that Trump got things done when he was the president the last time, Biden has been a total failure, and the American people are confident Trump can get the job done this time around again.

You have to have real accomplishments to boast about and win elections. 

On top of that, more and more Americans are having second thoughts about what they have been told about the 2020 election as well. As they see things unfold, they start to wonder, "How did this guy ever get elected?"

It will happen across the board. From Kimmel to Colbert to Fallon. They're all going to start complaining of headaches. Because their bubble is bursting, and reality is being allowed to settle in. The world they have seen for the past three years is not the same world we've all been living in. And no matter how many monologues they spit trying to sell a bill of goods that all is well in the world...

The voters know better.

Jimmy, I'd tell you to grab a bottle of Tylenol. But I think what you really need is a dose of reality. Stepping outside your bubble and viewing the past three years with a clear head is probably going to help you more than the Tylenol will.
