He also tossed Michelle Obama into the rancid mix. She told the DNC Convention,
“....my message won't be heard by some people. We live in a nation that is deeply divided..."

Well, Piers Morgan is off his program across the pond in the United Kingdom after his intense criticism of the interview Meghan Markle and Prince Harry did with Oprah Winfrey. Morgan, to his credit, has stood by his scolding of this gruesome twosome as he exits Good Morning Britain. The couple alleges racism regarding the birth of their son, Archie, how Meghan was suicidal, and a whole bunch of other stuff that was either unremarkable or unbelievable. Markle says she never Googled Harry while they dated. Yeah, and my father’s the Pope. Are you kidding me, lady? Also, this isn’t a family. It’s an institution and you're public figures, so spare us the ‘media is mean to me’ whine-fest. We all know why this is being discussed. It goes beyond the ‘this is the royals’ angle and palace intrigue. It’s the racism bit. The allegation is enough to get the Left in a frenzy—and it has. Markle knew what fishing lure to use and the progressive Left has come rushing in; it’s all utterly predictable. So, with this being a topic of discussion, who best to further slice and dice this detached and coddled couple than Fox News’ Tucker Carlson.
The duchess sits on millions of dollars, lives in a mansion, and is able to speak to Oprah, which was seen by scores of people, but she has it rough. She’s powerless. She’s been silenced. Carlson noted something idiotic about all of this: it’s not true. I know you picked that up from the get-go. And it’s not just her. Carlson also tossed Michelle Obama who said this at the Democratic National Convention, “Now, I understand that my message won't be heard by some people. We live in a nation that is deeply divided, and I am a Black woman speaking at the Democratic convention.”
For international women’s day please consider supporting women enduring online harassment. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the harassment and smear campaign I’ve had to endure over the past year has destroyed my life. No one should have to go through this.— Taylor Lorenz (@TaylorLorenz) March 9, 2021
Absurd. Carlson noted that she’s only the first lady speaking during primetime in America. Victimhood, racism, and being the thought police have become the digital heroin of our time—and it’s now caught onto the wealthy and powerful. It’s backward, folks—and Carlson zeroes in on the idiocy underneath the Markle whine-fest. He also touched upon New York Times reporter Taylor Lorenz who apparently had her life destroyed after she peddled a total lie about business tech entrepreneur Marc Andreessen using the word “retard” while hosting an event on Clubhouse. Yeah, she had some mean stuff hurled her way, but it’s her fault. She lied. And got some flak, which was deserved. Carlson noted that Lorenz’s life is still pretty golden (via Fox News):
Tucker Carlson on Meghan Markle and other powerful figures portraying themselves as victims:
"The most powerful people are pretending to be powerless... When you’re a victim, you are inherently significant. Martyrdom means you are forever the hero of the story." pic.twitter.com/LmiYtnyAm9— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) March 10, 2021
What’s going on here? A lot of things, probably. For rich people, deciding that you’re a victim has many levels of appeal. For one thing, it gives meaning to your decadent, empty life. There are only so many expensive vacations you can take to St. Barth’s, only so many overpriced clothes you can buy, only so many dumb parties you can go to in Aspen before you begin to realize that none of it is enough. None of it really means anything. It’s empty. Victimhood solves that problem. When you’re a victim, you’re inherently significant. Martyrdom means you’re forever the hero of the story. So you can see why narcissists love it, and there are a lot of those right now.
But there is another, darker effect of all this, an effect that has changed our country. When powerful people decide they’re oppressed, the balance of power changes. If you were very rich, you might imagine that you owed something to the people below you. Noblesse oblige, they used to call it, back when we had a responsible ruling class that thought about other people.
Previous generations of rich people understood this very well, and they taught their children this: To whom much is given, much is expected. That was the deal for centuries. But self-identified victimhood instantly nullifies this deal, and restores power to the powerful. No one expects anything from a victim. Victims don’t give, they receive.
"That poor duchess," you think to yourself, "I hope she’s OK". Of course, she should be thinking that very thing about you, but she’s not.
We’re not done with this yet, folks. There’s going to be more Markle drama. Didn’t we fight a revolution so we wouldn’t have to deal with this nonsense? Yes, but when a racism allegation is lobbed into the fray—chaos reigns.
Fixed it!
(Or was the original sentence "...seen by scores of people..." intended sarcastically?)
Regards,
I would add this comment. You have two idiots with marginal job-skills of value (Meghan can’t act, and Harry is at best...a wannebe-prince who could sell real estate, if he had a license).
These two settle in the most expensive area of central California...require $275k a month for rent, and probably consume near $750k a month on expenses. The Oprah-loot will last them about twelve months, at best.
Unless they can get some fake reality TV show going...their value at any job is almost zero.
This isn’t about the Harkles.
It’s about who decides whether or not the UK keeps its monarchy: its citizenry or its Deep State.
We couldn’t keep our republic.
I’m betting the UK won’t keep its monarchy.
And for the same reason.
Note to the House of Windsor: #LearnToCode.
The two could find useful employment as commentators on World's Dumbest

Considering the Oprah angle; and considering Oprah is one of the primary conduits, advance agents and protectors of all things related to President Obama; it would not be surprising to discover that Obama’s team of Chicago provocateurs are in the close-background of the Markle network. Useful division based on advancement of racist accusations is a classic Maoist approach to achieve modern Marxist outcomes.
The 2009 Christmas Tree ornament of Mao in the Obama White House is a small reference point with larger implications.
The international media are leftists by indoctrinated disposition, it is in their DNA to advance the ideology of far-left causes. Division is a downstream consequence from the allied media supporting any cause cèlébre in alignment with the progressive left. Piers Morgan has been on the cusp of the cancel culture for several years as he eventually supported the Brexit outcome and pushed-back against the extreme elements of his own tribe of leftists.

I disagree with you that Harry is a wannabe prince. He is a real prince, but I predict that Meghan will get tired of him and divorce him in a few years. I think he made a mistake marrying her.
The only skill I see Harry having...helicopter pilot. In the L A area, that might pay in the $120k a year range. I don’t see where their unified income brings in the $7 million a year they’d need to survive at their level.
You didn't fix anything, you just screwed it up differently. The Oprah special was seen by 17.1 million people in America, the highest entertainment special since the 2020 Academy Awards but not a score of millions, much less multiple scores. Throw in the Brits and you might pass a score but you would have to scour the planet and add them all together to get to multiple scores of millions. Maybe.
The House of Windsor is fine - the problem is the tacky little whiners having a pity party with Oprah...
See how this works? The Beeb can peddle all kinds of leftist codswallop, paid for with an over £150/year boob tube tax, mandatory if you want a TV, and God help you if you have one and fail to pay it.
The Beeb can get away with all that, but not ITV and Piers Morgan. Not if they run afoul of the UK's Deep State.
Morgan, you need to talk to Trump about starting a new network.
We thought our republic was fine, too.
Now we don’t have one.
Two things that lend to her credibility. She never googled Prince Harry and didn’t know who he was. She said they were married before the tax paid multi million dollar royal wedding. The Vicor said they don’t get married twice.
But he doesn't have a green card and he says he has no intention of applying for regular immigration status.
He's here on some kind of special visa related to his royal status. He's not allowed to work or earn money.
Sooner or later, he's going to have to be regularized or have a tax investigation.
If he’s here on a diplomatic visa, then that exempts him from paying US income taxes.
Meanwhile, nobody’s asking Harry about his visa status.
And our IRS isn’t harassing the Harkles the same way it is Trump.
Go figure.
Well...who got the $7-million from Oprah? Meghan? If so, by the time you figure federal/state taxes...half of that money is gone (especially if they live in Cal).
Or did Oprah just pay Harry who is tax-free status? Once this story is told...a whole bunch of questions will pop up.
“The only skill I see Harry having...helicopter pilot.”
William was the helicopter pilot.
Harry served in the army with, I believe, an artillery unit. Harry did pull two two assignments in Afghanistan but was pulled out when the press blabbed his unit and it’s location.
Sounds familiar,even today.
I don’t blame Markle for being herself. It seems to be very profitable. I blame the millions who watched her. They give her money for being what she is.
