Ketanji Brown Jackson was appointed to the Supreme Court by former President Joe Biden because he had promised to put a black woman on the court. And while Jackson couldn’t answer what a woman was, the general consensus was that she was close enough and thus qualified for the new position.
That was June 2022.
Next year, in 2023, she got an advance of $893,750 advance for a “memoir” about her life. Sure, Jackson could have waited before she spent a year on the Supreme Court before writing a memoir. Some justices were even known to wait 20 or 30 years before doing it.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote her memoir after over 20 years on the court at the ripe old age of 83.
Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote her memoir when she was 52 after spending less time on the bench than the dust cloths. She could have waited, but one of the biggest and most abusive publishers in the country (and one of the wokest) was dangling nearly $900,000 smackers in front of her twitching nose.
So she went for it. And is now on tour with ‘Lovely One’, her memoir of getting paid $893,750 to put her name on a book. On tour, Jackson then shamelessly endorsed the coup proposal for a ‘Code of Ethics’ for the Supreme Court to be managed by Senate Democrats. And then Jackson took a shot in support of the ProPublica campaign against Justice Clarence Thomas, insisting that gifts should be disclosed.
Jackson got a $893,750 ‘gift’ and not just from anyone. Let’s revisit what Penguin Random House actually is.
Ibram X. Kendi’s “How to Be an Antiracist”, Robin DiAngelo’s “White Fragility”, and Ta-Nehisi Coates’s “Between the World and Me” all have one publisher in common.
Bertelsmann, the German giant, which formerly used to put out “The Christmas Book of the Hitler Youth”, has become the leading publisher and distributor of some of the most famous and influential racist woke books, under the name Penguin Random House.
Earlier this year, Markus Dohle, the German CEO appointed by Bertelsmann to head up Penguin Random House, declared war on parental rights advocates by setting up a $500,000 Dohle Book Defense Fund to “advocate against censorship, track and expose the egregious assaults on books and ideas playing out in classrooms, state legislatures and other arenas.”
Bertelsmann has been censoring and rewriting children’s books by Roald Dahl and altering the “unacceptable prose” of P.G. Wodehouse in the Jeeves and Wooster books.
The ex-Nazi publishing giant which operates under such names as Penguin Random House and Puffin Books, took a red pencil to Roald Dahl long after the author’s death, cut any references to “fat”, “ugly” or “crazy”, along with “mothers and fathers” and other un-woke terms.
Penguin Random House’s former CEO Markus Dohle announced a $500,000 fund to fight censorship, not by ending the company’s purge of classic literature, but by fighting parents in court over efforts to keep graphic hate and sex out of schools.
And this isn’t the first time a Supreme Court Justice got in trouble taking money from the ex-Nazi woke publisher.
Justice Sotomayor collected more than $1.9 million in advances and promotion for her memoir, My Beloved World, published by Knopf Doubleday.
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor didn’t recuse herself from multiple cases involving a book publisher – Penguin Random House – which paid her more than $3 million since 2010, according to a report.
‘My Beloved World’ and ‘Lovely One’. Are Sonia and Ketanji using the same lame ghostwriter or AI?
Anyway, there’s a special on woke Supreme Court justices. Buy 1, get 1 free. Will Jackson be refusing herself from cases involving the woke ex-Nazi German giant? Don’t bet on it.
And, is anyone expecting her memoir to sell well enough to justify that nearly $900,000 payday?
Let’s go back to ‘My Beloved World’.
A person close to Sotomayor, who insisted on anonymity to discuss the justice’s book dealings, said that Sotomayor “has not and will not profit from sales” of her memoir beyond the $3.1 million advance that she received and that doing so would “require purchases of hundreds of thousands of additional books — more than double the purchases to date.”
Interesting. Why then did PRH hand out a massive $3.1 million advance that couldn’t be recouped through actual book sales?
Was that really a business transaction or a gift?
Does PRH expect to recoup the massive $893,750 advance for ‘Lovely One’ through book sales? And if not, is that a gift?
“Former President Biden” -you’re correct.
These book deals (with names that are similar to other female “ minority” authors and seem tacky & impersonal at this point) seem a lot like the same kind of scam as Hunter Biden’s art career.
It should be “Former Vice President”. I think he actually earned that one.
Ketanji Brown Jackson certainly is not wasting any time feathering her nest.
She will probably be a billionaire after 5 years on the Supreme Court.
It profit a man nothing to give his soul for all the world …
but for a Penguin Random House/Bertelsmann book advance ?
Power and Wealth Corrupt …
Absolute Power and Wealth Corrupt Absolutely.
Rewriting an author’s work after the fact is tragic.
And deeply wrong on so many levels.
And deeply evil on so many levels.
Yes, I read three of Roald Dahl’s books when I was nine years old. I loved them. I guess that’s one benefit of being old as fuck. At least I got to read that stuff before it was expurgated.
I guess if a kid wants to read that stuff now he’ll have to go to a library and check the publisher of the edition he checks out. I used to go to the library twice a week when I was a young boy and never had to worry about checking the source of the editions I read. This is child abuse.
Assuming Ketanji what-you-call-it and Kamala “Heels Up” Harris are specimens of the species “strong black woman,” why do they feel the need to marry milquetoast white men? Could it be that strong men– black or white– would not take either Ketanji or “Heels Up” any further than to a motel?
Do her outside by the dumpster and when your done throw her in with the rest of the trash.
Ewww! For both, are guys that tasteless?
I think their comments are funny. Tasteless, yeah, but funny.
And no, not all guys are tasteless. You can’t legitimately consider all guys as the same. I understand that you know that but some people who read your comment will think you’re being literal.
Probably because they know they can cuckold simps and white ones are good cover for their racism, even though Heels Up Harris isn’t even remotely black.
Ah, yes, Affirmative Action Jackson.
That’s a good one!
Just another hateful racist ghetto person who’s infiltrated the US government.
It’s no stretch to say lack of morality and no understanding of how civilizations work must be in the genes.
Who’s gonna buy these books? The same 1000 people who bought the world famous historian Howard Zinn’s book.
Libraries and school districts, especially after they get added to the curriculum as required reading.
This smells a whole lot like the $70 million tipped to the obambis after they left the White House.
Payment for services.
Exactly! Libraries and schools are the only institutions which buy left-wing trash like those.
They found cases of Speaker Wright’s book cleaning out the basement of some union hall up North in the late 80s or early 90s. What a scam, I guess the advances weren’t that great back then and someone actually had to buy some for them to make money.
DEI – Didn’t Earn It –
This woman sits on the Supreme Court who refused to answer if she is a woman! And Republicans voted in favor of approving her!
I can see young impressionable black girls reading the book – and who knows what fabrications are in it = being inspired and even though the inspiration is from a pack of lies (assuming as DEI is a pack of lies) they may be inspired to be successful = well that is that culture –
I do like the optimistic former President Joe Biden slap in the face — however — quid-pro-Joe TaliBriben never was POTUS — he was a puppet when he still had a barely functioning brain from a low IQ to begin with – KKK Cackling Kamalalala was never VPOTUS — what did she do?
What does last person in the room mean regarding the Afghan debacle ? Was Cackling Kamalala late? Did she know what is going on? Was the taliban in the room on zoom telling treasonous grifter money launderer Joe Bite-Me how the exodus was taking place?
We are in a serious mess and this is our last chance to save the USA and hence the free world — the world citizens want President Trump back in office as much as clear thinking US citizens. How could you now want President Trump looking at how financially short we are at the end of every month, every day when and zero savings?
Open borders is a matter of time before terror hits USA and it already has with the rapes and murders!
We need Judges that stick to the U.S. Constitution and not UN Treaties Clerance Thomas is just one example
I have no doubt that Clarence Thomas has been nothing but gracious, kind and helpful to Ketanji, in keeping with his beautiful, manly character. But is there not a limit? Surely even kindness and mercy must have justice and truth to be righteous and loving (Psalm 85:10).
Yes, Ketanji Brown hyphen Jackson really stabbed Thomas in the back.
“…spending less time on the bench than dust cloths.”
Mr. Greenfield’s pen is VERY sharp today!
I try so hard to see good in people, but I can’t help but think ill of Ketanji without exception. No humility, no wisdom, utterly lacking in honesty and self-control. She seems both stupid and wicked – a combination that would be worse if she were smarter – so maybe that is a small plus in her favor.
Why do democrats insist on advancing the very worst in the black race when there are plenty of righteous blacks to serve as role models for everyone? Bruce Bauer’s Aug. 29th article quoted Mark Satin’s observation that the wildly disproportionate trouble and crime committed by blacks and the failure of black intellectuals to publicly admit this reality is exasperating. Ketanji will only make this worse and advance us towards the same fate as South Africa.
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Supreme Court. An appointment for some is a booking.
Whats her Opinion about Clerance Thomas one od our Best Judges who supports the U.S. Constitution
She’s a Leftanista puppet and a progressive shill. They don’t have a ethics.
What is the “woke” opposition to “Father and mother” all about?
I did a fruitless web search and gave up because I don’t have the patience to get past Google’s barriers to the truth. (All search engines are corrupted by Google, even Duck Duck Go.) I know it’s an Alphabet People thing but the closest I got to an answer was this misandrist hate sentence: “…..dropping the word “father” and replacing “mother of the child” with the “person who gave birth.” That directly contradicts the lefty obsession with women who adopt kids but leftism is one huge contradiction of reality.
So am I expected to believe that fathers don’t exist and no woman who has a child, irrespective of being the biological mother or not, doesn’t consider herself to be that child’s mother? That’s flat out insane. It’s also evil, bizarre and an obvious attempt for the less than 1% minority to impose it’s hatred on the over 99% majority.
Massachusetts just signed that insane hatred into law with zero opposition from its state House or Senate. That state should be excised from the “union.”
