Larry Elder: Random Musings; Random Sarcasm

Elon Musk conducted a Twitter poll to ask whether he should reinstate former President Donald Trump’s account. The poll received 15,085,458 votes — and Twitter issued its final results in just one day! Musk should stop wasting his genius on hobbies like Tesla and SpaceX and become the Maricopa County, Arizona, election supervisor.

About that Twitter poll, what’s the over/under on when two-time unsuccessful Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams accuses the survey of “voter suppression” for failing to require voter ID?

After two years, CBS reports that it has “independently verified” the authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop. As for why it took two years, the network likely has a perfectly understandable explanation: supply chain issues. Sources say CBS has developed a system to avoid repeating the embarrassment of taking two years to verify Hunter Biden’s laptop. It plans to hire reporters.

BREAKING NEWS … CBS has “independently verified” that Pilgrims have, in fact, landed at Plymouth Rock.

BREAKING NEWS … CBS has “independently verified” that 9/11 was, in fact, a terror attack.

BREAKING NEWS … MSNBC reports that a New York Times investigative journalist confirms that CBS has “independently verified” that “life disproportionately impacts people of color” — and a Department of Justice whistleblower tells CNN that the Biden administration has drafted a proposal for reparations.

BREAKING FUTURE NEWS … “Despite the liberal media’s attempt to connect ‘hateful, anti-gay, transphobic, right-wing rhetoric’ to the 2022 Colorado gay nightclub mass shooting, CBS has independently verified that the suspect is ‘nonbinary.'” — CBS News, Nov. 24, 2036

The American Bar Association, to achieve diversity, inclusion and equity, has dropped the Law School Aptitude Test requirement for application to law school. Why not eliminate class attendance, classrooms, books, professors, tests, grades, reading, knowledge, logic, comprehension, brain waves and the ability to register a pulse?

In solidarity with the American Bar Association, and to achieve “diversity and inclusion,” will the New York Philharmonic no longer require study, practice, rehearsals, talent, ability, dedication, aptitude, work ethic, reading music or mastery of a musical instrument?

To demonstrate its solidarity with the American Bar Association, will Major League Baseball, the National Football League and the National Basketball Association no longer require the winning team to achieve the higher score?

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is set to succeed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as ranking Democrat U.S. House member. After Trump’s election in 2016, Jeffries tweeted: “LIE (more than any administration in the history of the Republic.) CHEAT (2016 election/Russian Interference).” In 2018, he tweeted: “The more we learn about the 2016 election, the more ILLEGITIMATE it becomes.” And Jeffries tweeted on his congressional account, “America deserves to know whether we have a FAKE president in the Oval Office.” In 2019, he tweeted that Trump was put into the White House “artificially” after Special Counsel Robert Mueller had concluded Trump had not colluded with Russia and did not obstruct justice. In 2020, Jeffries tweeted: “History will never accept you as a legitimate president.” In March 2021, he wrote: “What kind of political party worships at the altar of voter suppression? A morally bankrupt one.” Doesn’t this make Jeffries an … “election denier”?

Because I oppose the policies of liberals, including those of black liberals, I’ve been called “a self-loathing black man who hates his own people.” Barack Obama, when running for Illinois state senator, unseated a black liberal Democrat female incumbent, with whom he had no real ideological differences. In a bid to become a U.S. House congressman, Obama unsuccessfully primaried a black liberal Democrat incumbent, with whom he had no real ideological differences. To become a U.S. senator, Obama beat a black Republican conservative. Obama opposed my attempt to recall the governor of California, even though I would have been that state’s first black governor. Obama opposes the Georgia U.S. senate candidate, Herschel Walker, a black Republican conservative. So, Obama has run against black liberals and campaigned against black conservatives. Does this make Obama a “self-loathing black man who hates his own people”? Asking for a friend.

A “firebrand libertarian” according to Daily Variety, best-selling author, radio and TV talk show host, Larry Elder has a take-no-prisoners style, using such old-fashioned things as evidence and logic. Larry shines the bright light of reasoned analysis on many of the myths and hypocrisies apparent in our system of government, our society, and the media itself. He slays dragons and topples sacred cows using facts, common sense and a ready wit.

Larry hosted, for 15 years, the longest-running afternoon drive-time radio show in Los Angeles, beginning in March 1994. “The Larry Elder Show,” a top-rated daily program from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on KABC 790, became a nationally syndicated daily talk show for ABC Radio Networks on Aug. 12, 2002. Now Larry is seeking airwave dominance over the morning hours, broadcasting from KABC from 9 a.m. until noon. Known to his listeners as the “Sage From South Central,” Larry sizzles on the airwaves with his thoughtful insight on the day’s most provocative issues, to the delight, consternation and entertainment of his listeners.

In his best-selling book "The 10 Things You Can’t Say in America," Larry skewers the crippling myths that dominate the public agenda. Larry punctures all pretension, trashes accepted “wisdom” and puts everyone on notice that the status quo must be shaken up. In his second book, "Showdown: Confronting Bias, Lies and the Special Interests That Divide America," Larry again takes on the Nanny State, “victicrats” and the politically correct. His latest book, "What’s Race Got to Do with It? Why it’s Time to Stop the Stupidest Argument in America," is being praised as an important, groundbreaking must-read for the future of race relations in America. Elder also writes a nationally syndicated newspaper column, distributed through Creators Syndicate.

Larry was also host of the television shows “Moral Court” and “The Larry Elder Show.” Larry created, directed and produced his first film, “Michael & Me,” a documentary that examines the use of guns in America.
