Don Lemon: I'm a Victim of Failed White Men, Just like Stephen Colbert
https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/05/21/don-lemon-im-a-victim-just-like-stephen-colbert-n3815183 (https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/05/21/don-lemon-im-a-victim-just-like-stephen-colbert-n3815183)
Don Lemon just published his thoughts about the end of the Late Show. You'll be shocked to learn that he thinks it's all part of a plot, one in which failed white men are silencing anyone who challenges Republicans. Lemon says he was the canary in the coal mine and Colbert is just the next victim.
The networks didn’t like me asking conservatives hard questions. CNN didn’t like the mirror I was holding up every night. So they pushed me out. And I thought: if it happened to me it will happen to others. It will trickle down. Or up. Depending on how you look at it.
Now it has trickled all the way to late night television.
It has been three years since Don Lemon was fired and most of us probably don't think about him all that often anymore. But just as a reminder, Don Lemon was not fired because he was such a tough interviewer. He was fired because he was a prickly, arrogant man who repeatedly offended the two women co-hosts CNN had paired him with. Remember this?
Failed Black Man sez wut about Failed White Man? Lemon failed because he couldn't restrain his misogyny and/or hatred for whites long enough to record/broadcast a talking head show (Hour-long? Half hour?) with two white women co-hosts. Colbert failed because he let his partisan hatred blind him to the obvious fact that alienating half your potential audience is moronically stupid and would lead to the loss of viewership that did, unsurprisingly, happen.

If only Stephen Colbert had figured out how to be ridiculously, hilariously funny like Don Lemon here.
Oh wait...

Minnesota hunger non-profit leader gets 41 years in prison for $250 million fraud scheme
https://srnnews.com/minnesota-hunger-non-profit-leader-gets-41-years-in-prison-for-250-million-fraud-scheme/ (https://srnnews.com/minnesota-hunger-non-profit-leader-gets-41-years-in-prison-for-250-million-fraud-scheme/)
May 19 (Reuters) – The leader of a Minnesota non-profit group was sentenced to 41 years in prison on Thursday after she was convicted last year of being the ringleader of a $250 million scheme to defraud a federally funded child nutrition program.
Aimee Bock, 45, was charged in 2022 with using her non-profit group Feeding Our Future to enact what the Justice Department said was the largest known fraud against the U.S. government’s relief programs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than 70 other people have been charged alongside Bock. The fraud has been often invoked by U.S. President Donald Trump, a Republican, as part of his rationale for targeting Minnesota, led by Democrats, for an aggressive surge in arresting and deporting immigrants earlier this year. On the same day as Bock’s sentencing, the U.S. Department of Justice announced new charges against 15 people accused of defrauding Medicaid and other welfare programs in Minnesota of $90 million.
$90M of fraud, and Walz and Ellison Sergeant-Schultzed it.

In a May 18 episode of her “Relatable” podcast, the 34-year-old conservative author and speaker addressed the rerelease of the 1997 song, newly recorded by Michael Passons, Melissa Greene and outspoken gay country artist Ty Herndon.
“For years, I sang these words while hiding who I truly was,” Passons said in a statement to GLAAD announcing the re-release of the song. “To record this now with Ty, Melissa, and this incredible group of artists — standing fully in my truth — is a full-circle moment I once thought impossible. It serves as a testimony that love does not exclude.”
Kicking off her podcast, Stuckey called Passons' announcement “bad news,” adding: “Now we are being told retroactively that ‘Testify to Love’ by the CCM band Avalon is actually an anthem of queer love. Yes, I am not joking that this is now an LGBTQ-affirming anthem.”
“[There's this idea that] passages that positively affirm the holiness of marriage between one man and one woman and the exclusive holiness of sexual activity within that marriage between one man and one woman, it's just too much to bear and actually, we as these fallible people, we have a better answer. We have a better and bigger and wiser and more loving perspective on how humans should behave and what sin is and what it’s not," she said.
Obvious problems aside, I find it interesting how when any other group does things like this, leftists get all up in arms about "cultural appropriation". If someone's history is not my Halloween costume, why is my worship song your sinful anthem?

Here a link for the post above, https://www.christianpost.com/news/allie-beth-stuckey-slams-avalon-rerelease-of-testify-to-love.html .
The singers doing the re-release are former members of CCM group Avalon. Their hypocrisy of living contrary to the Christian beliefs they supposedly advocated is so deep that they do not realize the ludicrosity of claiming to be wiser or more loving than God. Sad. This Jesus Music song has a pretty blunt warning:
