[Order David Horowitz’s new book, America Betrayed, HERE.]
It surely will come as no surprise that the entertainment industry by and large is falling into line to support far-Left Kamala Harris’ presidential ambitions. Democrats always exploit the useful idiots in Hollywood and the music biz for their influence over the impressionable, the ignorant, and the star-struck.
Thus, Democrat Congressman and Chinese honey trap enthusiast Eric Swalwell rounded up a ragtag collection of performers mostly from the comedy world into a “Comics for Kamala” fundraiser Monday, held on the claustrophobic online stage of a Zoom meeting. The three-hour fundraiser, hosted by comedian Paul Mecurio (who?), featured such luminaries (sarcasm alert) as Max Greenfield, Lake Bell, Tom Lennon, Trae Crowder, Jay Ellis, Danny Zuker, Maz Jobrani, Al Madrigal, Lisa Ann Walter, David Koechner, Tim Heidecker, Ike Barinholtz, Adam Pally, Jesus Trejo, Ron Livingston, George Wallace, and Brandon Rainwater. I feel confident that I speak for every single American in flyover country when I say I have never heard of any of these people.
The names that were recognizable are almost entirely C- through D-list celebrities like Ed Helms, John Stamos, Julie Bowen, Megan Mullaly, Joel McHale, Kevin Nealon, and Roseanne Barr’s ex-husband Tom Arnold, whom I didn’t even know was still alive. Arguably the most well-known were Rosie O’Donnell, Mark Hamill, Kathy Griffin, Jon Hamm, Ben Stiller, Jason Bateman, and Patton Oswalt, all of whose careers are long past their sell-by date. Bateman, Hamm, Hamill, Stiller and several others are not even comics (at least Stiller admitted it), and the rest of the most well-known names are not now, nor have they ever been, funny.
There was a total of zero established A-listers – where were Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, unhinged Trump hater Jim Carrey, Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart? – and zero new comic stars like John Mulany, Nate Bargatze, or Anthony Jeselnik. This is a testament either to a lack of celebrity interest in getting onboard the Kamala train or a lack of persuasiveness on the part of unlikeable punk Swalwell. Either way, the star power was lackluster, to put it mildly.
I am not enough of a masochist to have watched the entire epic failure, but the “highlights” making the rounds of the internet are apparently few and far between. The most-talked about on the internet was Parks and Recreation star and former Republican Nick Offerman’s spoof of country star Lee Greenwood’s patriotic anthem “God Bless the USA,” in which Offerman tried to convince us that former President Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance are “fucking weird.”
“So I’m proud to be a Kamala man, who has quit the GOP, because I can’t just abide by a man who’s tried for 34 felonies,” Offerman sang as he strummed a guitar. “And I’ll proudly stand up and face the facts that the men that I once cheered are a bunch of wingnut white nationalists… Well, those guys are fucking weird.”
Smearing their political opponents as white nationalists is old hat for the desperate Left, but labeling Trump and Vance as “weird” is clearly the new narrative agreed upon by the Harris/Walz handlers and the colluding news media. This is a strange choice for a Party that supports Drag Queen Story Hours, sexual mutilation surgery for children, and male fighters in women’s boxing, until you realize that the its use of the word “weird” is signaling two things to Party members: one, that Republicans are not part of the Democrat “cool club,” and two, that the “queering” of America has successfully inverted everything normal into the abnormal.
Dishonorable mentions among the presentations include Ben Stiller saying nothing funny, but making the weird quip that all white Jews like himself secretly want to be black. He also asserted that Kamala has his vote because she “is gonna fight for a woman’s right to choose. That’s so important. I have a 22-year-old daughter, who I know that’s so important to.” So, Stiller wants to help his daughter keep her career and relationship options open by supporting her right to commit infanticide – that’s great parenting, Ben.
Longtime Trump rival Rosie O’Donnell also naturally made an appearance. She gushed that she had bought 100 Kamala t-shirts and vowed not to take them off until Harris “is in that White House.” These are the people who think JD Vance is weird.
More than 160,000 people reportedly tuned in to the Zoom event. Most came just for the free potential laughs, apparently, because a paltry 10,000 viewers – or 6.5% – ended up actually chipping in for the Harris campaign. The event raised a tepid $550,000 with an average donation of $55, according to organizers – far less than the $4 million raised in the recent White Dudes for Harris estrogen-fest, also held on Zoom. Stiller reportedly made a whopping $150,000 contribution – it’s unclear whether that figure was factored into the total raised by Comics for Kamala. If so, then his share alone amounts to more than a quarter of the haul.
The only lesson to be drawn from this would-be extravaganza is that a Kamala Harris/Tim Walz White House ticket is no laughing matter. Indeed, the biggest joke of the entire affair is still Eric Swalwell.

More like: “COMMIES 4 ☭AMALA!”
I can guarantee that any research of their pasts will reveal their membership, support, or protests with a COMMUNIST GROUP whether it be A.N.S.W.E.R., The Party for Socialism and Liberation, The Revolutionary Communist Party, the Democratic Socialist of America, and/or The Communist Party USA. Many of them are of the age of the biggest CPUSA/KGB recruitment in the ’80s during their college days, post-Vietnam when the CPUSA/KGB teamed up to start the crooked peace movement which was really a movement to turn S.E. Asia into a Communist region. Then in the ’80s, the same CPUSA/KGB to take over Central America, in our hemisphere.
Now this CULT is so brainwashed that they support terrorist groups, and my suspicions are that they would side with Jihadists and Sleeper Cells when they attack here! I bet they would immediately fall to their knees begging to not be beheaded by the same people they supported! Now that would be funny!

Abortion is not infanticide.
An embryo is not an infant. The embryo is a POTENTIAL infant if the woman decides to let it grow and give birth to an ACTUAL infant.
Mike says
Another leftist moron who believes size and location are what makes one a human being.
THX 1138 says
Another religious magical thinker who believes an eternal soul somehow magically appears in an instant at the moment of conception.
Intrepid says
Keep rackin’ up the downvotes. Hey fckwad, Kemala’s running mate’s state allows for after birth abortion. You down with that, ghoul?
THX 1138 says
Only a blockhead like you would come up with an oxymoron like “after birth abortion”.
Once a fetus is born it becomes a baby, an infant, with full political rights.
To kill a new born baby IS a monstrous act of infanticide.
An embryo is not an infant nor a baby.
“The status of the embryo in the first trimester is the basic issue that cannot be sidestepped. The embryo is clearly pre-human; only the mystical notions of religious dogma treat this clump of cells as constituting a person.
We must not confuse potentiality with actuality. An embryo is a potential human being. It can, granted the woman’s choice, develop into an infant. But what it actually is during the first trimester is a mass of relatively undifferentiated cells that exist as a part of a woman’s body. If we consider what it is rather than what it might become, we must acknowledge that the embryo under three months is something far more primitive than a frog or a fish. To compare it to an infant is ludicrous.” – Leonard Peikoff
Rachel says
No, it is there before conception. In Jeremiah Jesus said, “I knew you before I placed you in your mother’s womb.”
I feel sorry for you, THX. What a miserable and small life you lead.

You are confusing abortion (which is, indeed without a shadow of a doubt, the murder of an unborn child) with contraceptives. If the adult daughter of a rich, famous and educated family is dumb and ignorant enough to be unable to use contraceptives, I’d say her parents’ education system is an abysmal failure.
Semaphore says
“Partial birth” abortion IS infanticide. Aborting an embryo, however, is still killing. Something living, respiring, and responding to stimulus is teminated. Murder, choice? That’s a philosophical question, but biologically it is killing, no matter how you spin it.
Sue says
So says a former embyo, who now an “adult”.
Rachel says
Clearly you are not a woman, and if you are, you have never been pregnant. Once you realize you are building a baby in your womb, you are very aware that it is a living being. Women are are conscious will also report that they find themselves in communication with the baby during it’s construction. I KNEW who my baby was when he was in my womb. There is no difference between a “fetus” a “baby” or the disrespectful ‘clump of cells” insult from the Left.
It is a high honor to be able to procreate. What a miracle! I feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t get that. We cheer at our human ability to heal a scar, to heal a broken leg. Yet the ability to build a human – bones, brain, heart, lungs, the works — now THAT is a miracle.
An embryo is an infant. Killing a baby in the womb is infanticide. You can call it whatever you want, THX, if that helps you sleep at night. But killing is killing. And that was a baby you or your lady killed. Sorry. If it weren’t, then why does Planned Parenthood have such a money making business selling baby body parts? They aren’t advertising embryo parts… Can’t have it both ways
BZBBAZ says
Democrats are obsessed with “white nationalists” because they are the
Democrat Party of slavery, the KKK, the Civil War, inner city slums,
abortions of black babies . . . Their entire history is based on white supremacy.
They try to hide their true identity, but identity politics is all they care about.
David Ray says
Good point.
The party of Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and undeniably a white supremacist herself (as she made clear in her book).
Leftist shitheads have tried to quietly drop all memory of their adulation of that iconic woman – who made sure abortion clinics were built predominantly in black neighborhoods.

The DNC, that was passing love notes with the Nazi Party before WWII, convinced (with the help of academia & the press) that the Nazi Socialist party was “right wing”.
They memory-holed their previous praise for Nazis, just like they did their KKK days. (They honored Sen. Byrd right up to the end.)

That’s largely an msm rumor.

Thank you for pointing out that there are Leftist Christians and plenty of them too. The idea of social justice comes from Judeo-Christianity.
As for the Jews and Judaism, I found this article enlightening:
“Even If Moses Endorsed Donald Trump, Jews Would Not Vote For Him” – By Alexander G. Markovsky

It’s always very odd what you find enlightening. What you know of Jews and Judaism couldn’t fill a thimble.
THX 1138 says
“The roots of America’s welfare state lie in the Populist-Progressive Era of the late 19th century and early 20th century, especially with the Protestant social gospel movement, which held that Christian ethics and “social justice” should drive public policy, including wealth redistribution, trust-busting, graduated tax rates to punish the rich, cradle-to-grave handouts, and missionary-style imperialistic ventures abroad to spread the faith and make the world “safe for democracy.” The concept of social justice, which jettisoned the idea that we actually earn and deserve what we get in life, was first adopted by the Jesuit Luigi Taparelli in the 1840s, as drawn from the work of St. Thomas Aquinas.” – “Holy Scripture and the Welfare State”, Richard M. Salsman

Try to understand this: Ilhan Omar and her family were not sponsored by Jews they were sponsored by Lutheran Christian Services.
Lutheran Services, Catholic Charities, and Baptist, Methodist, and Episcopalian organizations are as we speak actively collaborating with the Biden administration, receiving millions upon millions of tax payer dollars, to help illegal aliens invade and destroy the USA.
All in the name of Christian altrui9sm and Christian social justice.
Jewish organizations are also doing this, but the Christian churches are the primary religious players in this destruction of America.
“You are your brother’s keeper”, “the meek shall inherit the earth”, “love your enemies”, “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”, that all comes from the Bible.
Intrepid says
Your desperation is obvious, posting the same tired Lutheran Social Services stupidity two days in a row.
Jews and Catholics do the same thing. There’s nothing you can do about it. There are nicer people than you in the world, Thank God.
evildoctor says
I’m a simple Jew and also don’t understand the liberal Jew madness as well.. All I can say is that Jews are very clever in many areas of human endeavour, but very stupid in the area of self preservation.
ALToronto says
Liberal Jews are mortified to be considered “right wing”. They consider anyone to the right of Hilary to be a deplorable bigot against those who are not white Christians. They also hate Netanyahu, and many consider Israel to be an illegitimate state. Mostly, they think that Trump is an antisemite, and they support whomever is running against him, even someone who cosies up to islamofascists.

I’ve been having fun with this comments section.
But in all honesty, such humor as we may have if Kamala gets elected would be gallows humor. …..and the public petitions signed by the Amy Schumers and Adam Sandlers of this world won’t wash their slates clean.
We need a new Lenny Bruce.
THX 1138 says
Lenny Bruce, are you kidding me? Lenny Bruce opened the door to all the cheap, crass, vulgar, obscene, STUPIDITY that is now called comedy.
Lenny Bruce is an icon of the Left just as Che is an icon of the Left.
What the world needs is not more obscene comedy, not more insult comedy, not more cynical comedy, not more infantile comedy, not more frat boy comedy, but a rebirth of actual sophisticated, intelligent, WIT.
If you were to combine Victor Borge with George Carlin you would have the wittiest and best type of comedian.
“Humor is not an unconditional virtue; its moral character depends on its object. To laugh at the contemptible, is a virtue; to laugh at the good, is a hideous vice. Too often, humor is used as the camouflage of moral cowardice.” – Ayn Rand
“Humor is the denial of metaphysical importance to that which you laugh at. The classic example: you see a very snooty, very well dressed dowager walking down the street, and then she slips on a banana peel . . . . What’s funny about it? It’s the contrast of the woman’s pretensions to reality. She acted very grand, but reality undercut it with a plain banana peel. That’s the denial of the metaphysical validity or importance of the pretensions of that woman. Therefore, humor is a destructive element—which is quite all right, but its value and its morality depend on what it is that you are laughing at. If what you are laughing at is the evil in the world (provided that you take it seriously, but occasionally you permit yourself to laugh at it), that’s fine. [To] laugh at that which is good, at heroes, at values, and above all at yourself [is] monstrous . . . . The worst evil that you can do, psychologically, is to laugh at yourself. That means spitting in your own face.” – Leonard Peikoff
Allan Goldstein says
Lenny Bruce was the buddies with Larry King.
He was straight at heart, and if you listen to his logic — as he argued it in court — you need the comic to give the reductio ad absurdum.
Intrepid says
Thank God no one ever combined Victor Borge with Lenny Bruce. We wouldn’t have comedy at all. But I get it. Wit, as you put it, is for snooty intellectuals….something you always aspire to be, but always fall short.
I’m not surprised that your heroes didn’t like comedy. Just what the world needs….a lecture from Lenny Phuck-off and Randy on comedy. One more reason not to jump on the Objectivist train.

She will be an absolute unmitigated disaster for America. She is being installed to complete Obama’s fundamental Marxist transformation of America. If you notice, all of America’s alliances are undergoing a tectonic shift from a European orientation to Iran and China. Moving away from Israel and towards Islamic jihadists; the pressure is applied to Israel to capitulate while funneling billions of dollars to Iran’s terror network.
At this point, I have no doubt the CIA was involved in training Hamas, building their terror infrastructure, and breaching Israel’s security barrier on October 7th.
