Having No Royalty of Our Own...

You know how those (not so) Jolly Olde Kings of England treated their court jesters?  Yeah, that's how we ought to treat our "celebrities."

Most don't know it but our movie industry started in New Jersey.  In the late 1800's.  Shortly after Edison invented Kinescope.  It was called "Fred Ott's Sneeze," believe it or not.  Then, following a string of silent cowboy movies, the bizz moved out West because of NJ's weather.  Never one of its good qualities.  If it has any good qualities.  I'm still looking.  But hey, if you know of one, dm me.

Anyway, "Hollywood" back then just sagebrush and sand and train tracks.  No people.  But it was enough to get it started.  And provided the seeds for a robust, now $35.3 Billion Dollar a Year Industry.

Oh yeah, as I stated up there in the title, we Americans don't have royalty.  And it seems that along with a deep-seated love of gold, we have a deep-seated need to be governed.  As one political wag once said, "Americans need to get what they voted for, good and hard!"  The Brits, from where we fled, have kings and queens and princes.  Why can't we have them and a Representative Republic, too, some may wonder?

Even the Brit's discards, Mzzz. Meghan and Harry, can't seem to find a way to fit in.  Even after being given $200 Million Dollars of Netflix' subscribers' money.  They think they're something special.  And some in America agree with them, just because they're sorta' kinda' royal.  Hmmmm.

And then we had the Election.  

The one where Mzzz. Harris brought in about 500 of our richest and most dolled-up "stars."  Starting with Oprah.  Who's worth $3 Billion Dollars.  And yet charged Mzzz. Harris $One Million Dollars to interview her (!).  And the JLo's, and the Beyonce's, and the Legends, and the Cardi B's, whatever that is.  They come down from on high to lecture us.  To teach us po' folks how we should vote.  And then return to their $30 Million Dollar mansions, driving their $3 Million Dollar Bugattis.    

I don't know about you, but that pis*es me off!  And it should have pis*ed off all those folks at Harris' concerts.  I personally think they attended those star-studded rallies to see the stars. 

We knew that.  She didn't know that.

And now we learn that Mzzz. Harris' Team said they were going to blow the $167,000,000 they had on hand this past October 16th.  They were going to "...spend it down to zero."  Well, it seems they blew past zero to the tune of another $20,000,000.  And how they're reaching out to those same "celebrities" to help retire the debt.  Stating, apparently, that it was to be used for "recounts."  

No "celebrities" to be found, as of this writing...

However, in a terrific troll, The Donald offered to throw them a bone and help pay off their debt, as his campaign has a bunch of money left.

And NOW we learn that Mzzz. Harris was paying for all those "celebrity" concerts.  Although many of the "celebrities" opted to donate their services, Mzzz. Harris still had to pony up for their crews and transportation and stage set-ups.  Running up to several $Hundred Thousand each.  Her Team decided that paying "celebrities" to put on concerts was the way to reach those as-yet unconvinced.  They proved wrong.  And it cost Mzzz. Harris campaign more than $50,000,000 of her donors' $Cash.  What fools.

Harris Team believed, and many on the Left believe, that we commoners look up to these "celebrities."  That we want to emulate them.  Hence, all the "influencers."  They think the more we know about them, where they live, and shop, and what they drive, the more we'll be slavishly smitten with them.  It didn't work.

So I think it's time we gather together as a Nation and start treating these condescending "celebrities" like they've been treating us.  Instead of us being subservient to them, I suggest it's time they become subservient to us!  Let's start treating them like Henry the Eighth treated his court jesters.  

For instance, they argued for Open Borders and Unlimited Immigration.  They own 5-acre compounds.  I think we could pack at least 50 illegals in each of their back yards.  They have pools back there, and BBQ's, and hot and cold running water, which is all these poor "migrants" need to keep body and soul together while they wait for deportation.  

This is Cher's opportunity to show us all how bleeding her heart really is.  She should step up and offer these services!  And if she doesn't, perhaps we should declare her back yard, and the back yards of all her tony friends, to be Public Domain.  And then pack them full of the illegals they so dearly love.

And how about T. Swift?  She owns like 15 houses.  She endorsed Harris last Summer.  She obviously embraces Harris' Open Border policy.  Just imagine how many illegals she could put up?  I'd say hundreds!  Maybe even thousands!

Think about it:  We're the folks who pay the inflated ticket prices at the theaters!  The folks who make it possible for them to live in their protective "bubbles."  It's time they came down from the mountain and rejoin us "normal" folks. 

In fact, I suggest we put together Teams to visit them in their walled-off compounds and make sure they're paying those Brown and Black people they employ enough, also.  And check their Green Cards to make sure they're legal.  And if they're not, we imprison a few JLo's, just to make the point.  Not for long, just a few months.

Now, I don't mind if these folks continue to make $20 Mil a picture.  Or $30 Mil!  But if they stop making us laugh, or cry, or whatever they're supposed to be good at, then we'll treat them like Hank the 8th treated his jesters.  Off with their heads!

Errr, maybe we just "cancel" them.
