Legendary singer Barbra Streisand attempted to run defense for embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, and the whole scenario quickly blew up in her face.
Streisand downplayed the accusations against Willis — namely that she was involved in an inappropriate and previously undisclosed romantic relationship with the man she hired and paid to investigate former President Donald Trump — and suggested that she was guilty of nothing more than wanting to keep her personal life private. She even implied that Willis&#8217; critics were sexist and would not hold a man to the same standards.
&#8220;How silly that the Republicans want to have Fani Willis fired. For what? Thinking a woman can’t have a private life as well as a professional one? Men do it all the time! How ridiculous is this?&#8221; Streisand said via X on Monday.

But as Streisand&#8217;s critics were quick to point out, when Willis allegedly hired her boyfriend, it was the taxpayers who were on the hook to pay him. And when he allegedly started to use those funds to pay for lavish vacations — which she took part in as well — the water got muddier still.

Political theorist Barbra Streisand lauded the testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson, who claimed that on January 6, 2021 former President Trump tried to get Secret Service to take him to the U.S. Capitol building.
Hutchinson, a former aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, stated before the January 6 House select committee that Anthony Ornato, a senior Secret Service official, said Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of the armored presidential limousine and lead security detail Bobby Engel responded “Sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel.” Hutchinson claimed that Trump lunged at and assaulted the agent.
“I was on Nixon’s enemies list and intently watched the Watergate hearings. What Ms Hutchinson revealed today was far beyond John Dean’s testimony then,” Streisand burbled.

Additionally, Hutchinson claimed she wrote a note stating “Anyone who entered the Capitol without proper authority should leave immediately.”
But that <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-top-former-white-house-lawyer-delivers-devastating-blow-to-cassidy-hutchinson-testimony/">claim was disputed</a> by former Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann, who claimed he wrote the note.
&#8220;The handwritten note that Cassidy Hutchinson testified was written by her was in fact written by Eric Herschmann on January 6, 2021,&#8221; a spokesperson for Herschmann told <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-white-house-attorney-disputes-cassidy-hutchinsons-testimony/story?id=85898838">ABC News</a>. &#8220;All sources with direct knowledge and law enforcement have and will confirm that it was written by Mr. Herschmann.&#8221;
In March 2020, Variety published an op-ed Streisand in which she <a href="https://variety.com/2020/politics/news/barbra-streisand-trump-defeated-column-election-2020-1203521601/">hysterically ranted</a> about the possibility of President Trump’s reelection, stating, “The ‘beacon of hope’ that is America could be extinguished if he’s given another four years.”
Streisand began by stating, “Mr. Trump, let’s make America great again. But first, get one thing straight: America was great — before you were elected.”
Streisand must have confused Trump with New York Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo, who <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/08/15/andrew-cuomo-america-was-never-that-great/">said</a> in August 2018, “We’re not going to make America great again; it was never that great.”
Streisand continued, “Every morning I wake up, holding my breath while I turn on my phone to see the latest news. I think to myself, &#8216;It can’t be worse than yesterday.&#8217; But when the news loads, I think, ‘Ohhhhh, yes, it is worse.’”
Streisand might simply have been worried about gaining weight; in March 2017 Streisand <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/streisand-blames-trump-getting-fat-i-eat-pancakes-amanda-prestigiacomo">moaned</a>, “Donald Trump is making me gain weight.

Barbra Streisand Lauds Cassidy Hutchinson Testimony: ‘Far Beyond John Dean’s Testimony’ Against Nixon. Oops.

January 6 Committee

On Tuesday, Variety published an op-ed from singer and vitriolic Trump-hater Barbra Streisand in which she <a href="https://variety.com/2020/politics/news/barbra-streisand-trump-defeated-column-election-2020-1203521601/">hysterically ranted</a> about the possibility of President Trump’s reelection, stating, “The ‘beacon of hope’ that is America could be extinguished if he’s given another four years.”

You know what that means: Streisand will get fat again, because as readers may recall, in March 2017 Streisand <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/streisand-blames-trump-getting-fat-i-eat-pancakes-amanda-prestigiacomo">moaned</a>, “Donald Trump is making me gain weight.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Back to the rant:
<blockquote>No wonder doctors report that more people than ever are anxious and depressed. Since 2016, we’ve been dragged down into the mud of Trump’s swamp. He has demolished our standing in the world with his laughable boasts and breathtaking ignorance. He has put the security of this country, and our planet, in a precarious position by abandoning the Paris climate accord and the Iran nuclear deal. He’s a one-man weapon of mass destruction … so reckless that he almost started a war.</blockquote>
After denigrating Trump’s attempts to deal with the coronavirus, Streisand showed off her history chops, in which she offered her leftist perspective:
<blockquote>We should have known from the beginning, when Trump fired James Comey for refusing to pledge loyalty to him, as if he were a king. But in America, we pledge allegiance to the flag, not one particular person. And the president swears to uphold the Constitution, which sets out the rules of law that every citizen, even the president, must obey.</blockquote>
Preaching that Trump thinks the rules don’t apply to him, commenting, “He fires people who obey the law and tell the truth,” Streisand adds, “That’s Trump’s world. It’s a place of paranoia, hypocrisy and lies, so many lies (16,000 and counting).”
<blockquote>Of course, as a paragon of truth-telling, we shouldn’t remind the diva that in August 2016, she threatened to leave America if Trump was elected president. Speaking to Sydney-based journalist Michael Usher, Streisand <a href="http://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/Barbra-Streisand-Ill-move-to-Australia-Canada-if-Trump-wins-presidency-466328">said</a>, referring to Trump, “He has no facts. I don’t know, I can’t believe it. I’m either coming to your country [Australia], if you’ll let me in, or Canada.”</blockquote>
The woman simply won’t keep her word.
Then, of course, Streisand turns to lionizing Barack Obama: &#8220;Trump can never live up to Obama’s legacy, so he’s trying to erase it. He inherited a growing economy and now claims credit for it, saying it’s the best in history … but that’s another lie.”
Streisand concludes, “In this upcoming election, we must bring back dignity and grace … We need a new America, without pollution, without obscenities, without insults, without revenge.”
Dignity and grace? Without obscenities, without insults?
Why, only last October Streisand posted a tweet showing a bloody President Trump impaled by the stiletto heel of the shoe of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. What appeared to be blood is dripping from the impaled chest of Trump.

Streisand Freaks Out Over Trump’s Reelection: ‘We Need A New America’

Shhhhh, everybody, Barbra Streisand has something important to say.

His “sincerity.” Wonderful. What insight.
Babs is one of those limousine liberals who believes – really believes – that everyone cares what she thinks. And like all the other glitterati in her camp, she&#8217;s deeply ill-informed, even though she thinks she&#8217;s a Rhodes scholar.
Streisand continued to offer her important thoughts on Friday, the day Schiff&#8217;s case against President Trump was blowing up in his face. Even his crocodile tears at the end of the sham trial failed to sway senators.
Said Streisand: &#8220;51% of Republicans overrule 75% of Americans who wanted witnesses to appear at the trial. This is not how democracy should work. I hope the senate pays a price for this sham.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Let&#8217;s unpack that a bit. Presumably, Streisand saw a poll that said 75% of Americans supported witnesses in the Trump trial. But here&#8217;s the thing: Polls don&#8217;t decide how things work. The Senate, as envisioned by the Founding Fathers, decides those things. This IS how government works.
See, we&#8217;re a representative republic. &#8220;In the context of American constitutional law, the definition of republic refers specifically to a form of government in which elected individuals represent the citizen body and exercise power according to the rule of law under a constitution, including separation of powers with an elected head of state, referred to as a constitutional republic or representative democracy,&#8221; says the textbook definition in Wikipedia. Pretty simple.
And for the record, a representative republic is NOT a democracy. The people elect representatives who then legislate and govern. That&#8217;s a representative republic.
Streisand gets her dander up a few times a year. Back in 2018, she threatened to move to Canada.
“I’ve been thinking about, do I want to move to Canada? I don’t know,” Streisand told The New York Times. She said she might pack it up and move if the Democrats don’t take control of the House of Representatives.
“I want to sleep nights &#8230; if we take the House I’ll be able to sleep a little bit better,” she said. “I’m just so saddened by this thing happening to our country. It’s making me fat. I hear what he said now, and I have to go eat pancakes now, and pancakes are very fattening.”
Streisand, 78, also put out a new album, “Walls,” that features a track titled, “Don’t Lie to Me,” which is about Trump. The song contains the lyrics: “How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?/All that we built has come undone/How do you sleep when the world is burning?/Everyone answers to someone.”
“I would lie awake at night with Trump’s outrages running through my head, and I had to do another album for Columbia Records, so I thought, why not make an album about what’s on my mind? And that became the title of the first song,” Streisand said.
On Trump, she told The Times: “I just can’t stand what’s going on. His assault on our democracy, our institutions, our founders – I think we’re in a fight. &#8230; We’re in a war for the soul of America.&#8221;
Well, representative republic. But we get your point, Babs.

On Saturday, Barbara Streisand posted a gruesome cartoon on Twitter showing a bloody President Trump impaled by the stiletto heel of the shoe of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The violent cartoons came as a clothing company posted a billboard in New York City&#8217;s Times Square showing Trump being hog-tied by a woman clad in the company&#8217;s athletic wear.
&#8220;The 30-foot-high billboard featuring a model binding a Trump look-alike with red, white and blue rope while stomping on his face was put up earlier this week as part of an advertising campaign by Dhvani, a Portland-based clothing company,&#8221; The Daily Mail wrote.

Killing Trump has been a motif among the limousine liberals. In 2017, comedian Kathy Griffin released photos of herself holding a bloody decapitated head that looked like the president&#8217;s.
That same year, a New York City play depicted a Trump lookalike being brutally stabbed to death in a bloody assassination during a production of “Julius Caesar.”
Another comedienne, Sarah Silverman, called for a military coup to take out Trump. Actress Rosie O’Donnell talked on Twitter about “stopping” Trump. And rapper Snoop Dogg put out a music video in which he assassinated a clown dressed as Trump.
On NBC’s Saturday Night Live this month, Michael Che seemed to say that assassinating Trump would be faster than impeachment.
“All right, maybe I just don’t understand politics well, because, when they said Trump was gettin’ impeached I immediately thought, &#8216;Great! Trump’s fired! Let’s get drunk!&#8217; But they’re like, &#8216;No, he’s just bein’ impeached, but he ain’t exactly ‘peached yet. It’s still gonna take another year or so.&#8217; And I’m like, &#8216;Well, damn, that sucks, let’s get drunk.&#8217;
“I mean, president is only a four year job but it feels like it’s taking ’em five years to just fire his a**. It’s frustrating! You know, I bet somebody explained how long impeachment takes to John Wilkes Booth and he was like, &#8216;OK, well, where is he at right now?&#8217; &#8220;

Streisand dismisses Jackson&#8217;s pedophilia thusly: &#8220;His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has.&#8221; She even put the word &#8220;molested&#8221; in scare quotes. &#8221;You can say &#8216;molested,&#8217; but those children, as you heard say, they were thrilled to be there. They both married and they both have children, so it didn&#8217;t kill them.&#8221;
She added she found Jackson &#8220;very sweet, very childlike&#8221; when she met him, and &#8221;I blame, I guess, the parents, who would allow their children to sleep with him.&#8221;
For anyone who wondered how Hollywood could accept sexual assault on women and children in the entertainment industry for many decades, here is Exhibit A. She didn&#8217;t deny the sexual abuse. She said they were &#8220;thrilled to be there.&#8221;
Streisand half-walked away from these comments to The New York Times. &#8221;The single most important role of being a parent is to protect their children,&#8221; she said. &#8221;It&#8217;s clear that the parents of the two young men were also victimized and seduced by fame and fantasy.&#8221;
That wasn&#8217;t good enough, so hours later, the full apology came. &#8221;I am profoundly sorry for any pain or misunderstanding I caused by not choosing my words more carefully about Michael Jackson and his victims,&#8221; she said in the second statement. &#8221;I didn&#8217;t mean to dismiss the trauma these boys experienced in any way,&#8221; it continued. &#8221;Like all survivors of sexual assault, they will have to carry this for the rest of their lives.&#8221;
This being Hollywood, she tried to tell the accusers she had just slimed that &#8220;I truly respect and admire them for speaking their truth.&#8221; There is not &#8220;your&#8221; truth and &#8220;my&#8221; truth. There&#8217;s just truth, and that&#8217;s especially important in sex-abuse cases.
She can apologize for what she &#8220;meant&#8221; to say all day long. But she callously suggested that an adult superstar&#8217;s &#8220;sexual needs&#8221; were more important than the children&#8217;s trauma.
If you didn&#8217;t hear much about Streisand&#8217;s pedophile face-plant, you could blame the media. It happened over a weekend, and some outlets &#8212; CBS, NPR, PBS, and even CNN and MSNBC &#8212; somehow couldn&#8217;t find it. The ones that did report it were slow, and only covered it after the apology. ABC only offered a brief. NBC had a full report on Sunday night. The Washington Post blogged it, but didn&#8217;t put it in the actual newspaper.
The media do not leap to call out liberal hypocrites. This is the same Streisand who deeply loved the Clintons, but calls President Donald Trump the &#8220;Groper in Chief.&#8221;
They want to maintain the compassionate aura around Barbra Streisand, the feminist legend and die-hard Democrat. But this interview should not be tossed in a memory hole. This echo should resonate. In our celebrity-obsessed culture, celebrities shouldn&#8217;t feel entitled to exploit children or excuse that exploitation just because they&#8217;re rich and famous &#8230; and favor the &#8220;correct&#8221; politicians.

BOZELL & GRAHAM: Streisand’s Bizarre Michael Jackson Defense

Michael Jackson

After facing an onslaught of intense backlash and severe scrutiny, singer Barbra Streisand is &#8220;profoundly sorry&#8221; for saying that pop icon Michael Jackson&#8217;s alleged serial molestation of children was simply the satisfaction of &#8220;sexual needs&#8221; that ultimately brought little to no harm to his victims.
&#8220;To be crystal clear, there is no situation or circumstance where it is OK for the innocence of children to be taken advantage of by anyone,&#8221; <a data-event-click="{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https://variety.com/2019/film/news/barbra-streisand-michael-jackson-remarks-backlash-1203170857/&quot;}" href="https://variety.com/2019/film/news/barbra-streisand-michael-jackson-remarks-backlash-1203170857/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Streisand said in a statement</a>, according to <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/03/barbra-streisand-profoundly-sorry-for-michael-jackson-accusers-comments?verso=true">Vanity Fair</a>. &#8220;The stories these two young men shared were painful to hear, and I feel nothing but sympathy for them. The single most important role of being a parent is to protect their children. It&#8217;s clear that the parents of the two young men were also victimized and seduced by fame and fantasy.&#8221;
The famed singer simultaneously posted a heartfelt apology on her Instagram account, saying the words &#8220;as printed&#8221; do not reflect her true feelings.
&#8220;I am profoundly sorry for any pain or misunderstanding I caused by not choosing my words more carefully about Michael Jackson and his victims, because the words as printed do not reflect my true feelings,&#8221; the post read. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t mean to dismiss the trauma these boys experienced in any way. I feel deep remorse and hope James and Wade know that I truly respect and admire them for speaking their truth.&#8221;

Last Friday, the Times of London<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/45023/barbra-streisand-believes-sexual-assault-ashe-schow"> released an interview</a> with Streisand in which she made some wildly off-color statements about the allegations brought forth against Michael Jackson by Wade Robson and James Safechuck in the horrifying documentary &#8220;Leaving Neverland,&#8221; suggesting that the boys perhaps wanted to be sexually molested and that Jackson may have just been acting on his own DNA.
&#8220;His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has,&#8221; Streisand said. &#8220;You can say &#8216;molested,&#8217; but those children, as you heard say [the grown-up Robson and Safechuck], they were thrilled to be there. They both married and they both have children, so it didn&#8217;t kill them.&#8221;
Streisand later admitted to feeling &#8220;bad&#8221; for Michael Jackson every bit as much as his victims.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a combination of feelings. I feel bad for the children. I feel bad for him,&#8221; she told the Times. &#8220;I blame, I guess, the parents, who would allow their children to sleep with him. Why would Michael need these little children dressed like him and in the shoes and the dancing and the hats?&#8221;
People on social media piled on Streisand, with many expressing shock that she would be so casual about the sexual abuse of children in the #MeToo era. While her comments were indeed shocking, she is unfortunately not the only prominent celebrity to downplay Jackson&#8217;s alleged sins. Several weeks ago, world-famous rapper T.I. suggested that Jackson fell victim to a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/44492/rapper-ti-suggests-attacks-michael-jackson-are-paul-bois">racist conspiracy against him</a>:
<blockquote>
Let this man speak for himself to defend his legacy. Don&#8217;t just listen to one side and expect to find truth. Oh that&#8217;s right&#8230;Dead men can&#8217;t speak. So what was the point again? Destroy another strong black historical LEGEND?!?! It&#8217;s several examples of pedophilia in American History&#8230; if y&#8217;all pulling up all our old shit&#8230; we gotta examine ELVIS PRESLEY, HUGH HEPHNER,and a whole slew of others guilty of the same if not more!!! BUT WHY US all the time? There&#8217;s an agenda to destroy OUR CULTURE.

Barbra Streisand ‘Profoundly Sorry’ For Michael Jackson Comments

Actress and singer Barbra Streisand has come under fire after telling a British newspaper that the men who say they were molested as children by late singer Michael Jackson &#8220;were thrilled to be there&#8221; and the alleged sexual abuse &#8220;didn&#8217;t kill them.&#8221;
Streisand also said Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;sexual needs were his sexual needs.&#8221; Since the original quotes are behind a paywall at <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/barbra-streisand-at-76-dog-cloning-art-collecting-and-being-a-grandma-rvcgqd5cb">The Times</a>, people relied on a headline from the New York Daily News, which read, &#8220;<a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/ny-barbra-streisand-michael-jackson-accusers-thrilled-sexual-needs-20190323-7z3b2dqgbzh7jfs4yyhqhdfjyi-story.html">Barbra Streisand says Michael Jackson&#8217;s accusers were &#8216;thrilled to be there&#8217; and his &#8216;sexual needs were his sexual needs</a>.&#8217;&#8221;
While Streisand said both of these things, she didn&#8217;t say them together as the headline suggests. This, however, does not mean that what Streisand said was any less jarring.
She was asked by the Times about the recent documentary &#8220;Leaving Neverland,&#8221; which detailed the allegations of Wade Robson and James Safechuck who claim Jackson molested them when they were children. Streisand was asked if she believed their allegations, having known Jackson while he was alive.
&#8220;Oh, absolutely,&#8221; Streisand responded. &#8220;That was too painful.&#8221;
She described what Jackson was like when she met him: &#8220;He was very sweet, very childlike.&#8221;
When asked how she &#8220;reconciled&#8221; that with the way he was depicted in the documentary, Streisand gave an answer that was sympathetic to Jackson.
&#8220;His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has,&#8221; Streisand said. &#8220;You can say &#8216;molested&#8217;, but those children, as you heard say [the grown-up Robson and Safechuck], they were thrilled to be there. They both married and they both have children, so it didn&#8217;t kill them.&#8221;
For the record, Robson and Safechuck were thrilled to be friends with an international superstar, not thrilled to be molested.
Streisand was then asked if she was &#8220;angry&#8221; with Jackson.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a combination of feelings. I feel bad for the children. I feel bad for him,&#8221; she told the Times. &#8220;I blame, I guess, the parents, who would allow their children to sleep with him. Why would Michael need these little children dressed like him and in the shoes and the dancing and the hats?&#8221;
That was the end of her discussion about Jackson.
Dan Reed, who directed &#8220;Leaving Neverland,&#8221; reacted to Streisand&#8217;s comments on Twitter.
&#8220;It didn&#8217;t kill them&#8221; @BarbraStreisand did you really say that?!#LeavingNerverland,&#8221; he tweeted.

Streisand, so far, has not addressed the backlash to her comments. She has not commented to any media outlet and her Twitter feed appears to be dedicated to blasting President Donald Trump and guns at every opportunity. Streisand, however, must know better than to try and get this situation to go away. In 2003, the singer attempted to get photos of her Malibu, California mansion removed from the Internet, which ended up amplifying them further. The phenomenon is now referred to as the Streisand Effect.
The megastar also addressed the MeToo movement in her interview, calling it &#8220;very powerful&#8221; but suggesting that &#8220;unfortunately, it&#8217;s going to cause a lot of women not being hired because men are worried that they&#8217;ll be attacked,&#8221; which the Times interviewer took to mean men would be afraid of false accusations.

Barbra Streisand Believes The Sexual Assault Allegations Against Michael Jackson, But Says ‘It Didn’t Kill Them’

Sexual Abuse

For liberal women, feminism only goes so far. Sure, they&#8217;re all for independence among their sisters &#8212; unless they disagree with them politically. Then, it&#8217;s claws out.
Take Barbra Streisand. The limousine liberal thinks all women who voted for President Trump are stupid, saying they &#8220;don&#8217;t believe enough in their own thoughts&#8221; to vote another way than their husbands.
&#8220;A lot of women vote the way their husbands vote; they don&#8217;t believe enough in their own thoughts. Maybe that woman who&#8217;s so articulate, so experienced and so fit for the presidency [Hillary] was too intimidating,&#8221; Streisand said, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-6410531/Barbra-Streisand-76-felt-compelled-write-album-protest-songs.html">Daily Mail</a>.
The singer&#8217;s take is, not surprisingly, exactly like that of Clinton. Asked in March about the 52% of white women who voted for Trump in the 2016 presidential election, the two-two presidential loser refused to acknowledge that women might have voted based simply on their own political preferences.
Instead, Clinton claimed that white women were under the spell of their husbands, fathers, and sons, who forced them to pull the lever for Trump. &#8220;We do not do well with white men and we don&#8217;t do well with married, white women,&#8221; Clinton said about the Democratic Party. &#8220;And part of that is an identification with the Republican Party, and a sort of ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should.&#8221;
Streisand went on to say, &#8220;I love my country and it&#8217;s painful to see democracy being assaulted, institutions being assaulted and women being assaulted.&#8221;
The singer&#8217;s latest album, &#8220;Walls,&#8221; features several protest songs against Trump that were written because the election was &#8220;devastating&#8221; and she was &#8220;heartbroken.&#8221;
In one song, Streisand addresses Trump, singing: &#8220;How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?/All that we built has come undone/How do you sleep when the world is burning?/Everyone answers to someone.&#8221;
In her interview with the Mail, Streisand returned to Republican women and Clinton, saying &#8220;perhaps she made women feel unsuccessful. All of this was so devastating to me and I was heartbroken, so I wanted to write about it, sing about it, and deliver an album. It was perfect timing, so I just did it.&#8221;
Before the 2018 mid-term elections, Streisand threatened to move to Canada if Democrats lost again.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been thinking about, do I want to move to Canada? I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Streisand told The New York Times. She said she might pack it up and move if the Democrats didn&#8217;t take control of the House of Representatives.
&#8220;I want to sleep nights &#8230; if we take the House I&#8217;ll be able to sleep a little bit better,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I&#8217;m just so saddened by this thing happening to our country. It&#8217;s making me fat. I hear what he said now, and I have to go eat pancakes now, and pancakes are very fattening.&#8221;

Barbra Streisand: Women Who Support Trump Are Stupid, Only Do What Their Husbands Do

Hillary Clinton

Barbra Streisand is once again threatening to move to Canada, this time over the midterm elections.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been thinking about, do I want to move to Canada? I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Streisand told The New York Times. She said she might pack it up and move if the Democrats don&#8217;t take control of the House of Representatives.
&#8220;I want to sleep nights &#8230; if we take the House I&#8217;ll be able to sleep a little bit better,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I&#8217;m just so saddened by this thing happening to our country. It&#8217;s making me fat. I hear what he said now, and I have to go eat pancakes now, and pancakes are very fattening.&#8221;
Streisand, 76, is putting out a new album &#8212; titled &#8220;Walls&#8221; &#8212; on Friday that features a track titled, &#8220;Don&#8217;t Lie to Me,&#8221; which is about President Trump. The song contains the lyrics: &#8220;How do you sleep when the world keeps turning?/All that we built has come undone/How do you sleep when the world is burning?/Everyone answers to someone.&#8221;
&#8220;I would lie awake at night with Trump&#8217;s outrages running through my head, and I had to do another album for Columbia Records, so I thought, why not make an album about what&#8217;s on my mind? And that became the title of the first song,&#8221; Streisand said.
The singer complained about Trump, saying he regularly lies. &#8220;Truth has always worked for me, so to see the truth defiled every day is very, very painful for me.&#8221;
But Streisand lies sometimes, too, apparently. Take 2016, when she vowed to move away if Trump won the presidency &#8212; a pledge that she (not surprisingly) didn&#8217;t actually keep.
Before that election, she told the Hollywood Reporter that Trump &#8220;has no facts. I don&#8217;t know, I can&#8217;t believe it. I&#8217;m either coming to your country [Australia], if you&#8217;ll let me in, or Canada.&#8221;
On Trump, she told The Times: &#8220;I just can&#8217;t stand what&#8217;s going on. His assault on our democracy, our institutions, our founders &#8212; I think we&#8217;re in a fight. &#8230; We&#8217;re in a war for the soul of America.&#8221;
Streisand&#8217;s threat follows another by Hollywood actor James Cromwell &#8212; who starred in such movies as &#8220;Babe,&#8221; &#8220;The Green Mile,&#8221; &#8220;Big Hero 6,&#8221; and the TV shows &#8220;Boardwalk Empire&#8221; and &#8220;American Horror Story&#8221; &#8212; that there soon will be &#8220;blood in the streets.&#8221;
&#8220;This is nascent fascism. We always had a turnkey, totalitarian state &#8212; all we needed was an excuse, and all the institutions were in place to turn this into pure fascism,&#8221; Cromwell said, according to Variety. &#8220;If we don&#8217;t stop [President Trump] now, then we will have a revolution for real. Then there will be blood in the streets.&#8221;
&#8220;He echoed these sentiments during his acceptance speech, where he warned that he believes the country is headed toward the possibility of a violent revolution,&#8221; Variety reported.

Barbra Streisand Once Again Threatens To Move To Canada If Democrats Don’t Win, Says GOP Control Of Congress Making Her ‘Fat’

Barbra Streisand, 76, is releasing a new album, and if you&#8217;ve been living under a rock or on a distant planet and you haven&#8217;t heard her paroxysms of rage against President Trump the last two years, she wants to record them for posterity.
The Guardian conducted an obsequious <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/oct/26/barbra-streisand-trump-is-corrupt-and-indecent-and-is-assaulting-our-institutions">interview</a> with Streisand that revolved around her album, titled &#8220;Walls,&#8221; and it was full of the same bitter denunciations of Trump that have characterized Streisand as she slowly drifts into insignificance.
Streisand began by explaining how sophisticated her approach to slamming Trump was in the album, saying, &#8220;You have to write lyrics that can be more than just a protest. They have to appeal to a universal audience. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/culture/shortcuts/2018/sep/30/a-war-for-the-soul-of-america-barbra-streisand-takes-on-trump-and-shes-not-kidding-about">Even when I wrote Don&#8217;t Lie to Me</a>, at first I thought, well, I could make you think it&#8217;s like a love affair, a marriage breaking up. It&#8217;s a universal thought: don&#8217;t lie to me.&#8221;
Streisand, who is <a href="https://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/06/barbra-streisand-towering-talent-impossible-person/">infamous</a> for treating the people around her horribly or like <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/wayoflife/05/03/tf.celebs.bad.reps.restaurants/index.html">hired help</a>, continued, &#8220;I can&#8217;t bear the man. He&#8217;s a man with no manners! He doesn&#8217;t see his own flaws; he doesn&#8217;t know what he doesn&#8217;t know. You know? He has no humility.&#8221; She added that Trump is &#8220;good at marketing. He knows how to sell; he&#8217;s a conman. That&#8217;s what he&#8217;s good at. But he doesn&#8217;t think he needs anyone&#8217;s help, he thinks he can go it alone. The big guy.&#8221;
Streisand, who hails from the Left, which has historically been hostile to the military and the police, segued to accusing Trump of &#8220;assaulting our institution,&#8221; fulminating, &#8220;This is a dangerous time in this nation, this republic: a man who is corrupt and indecent and is assaulting our institutions. It&#8217;s really, really frightening. And I just pray that people who are compassionate and respect the truth will come out and vote.&#8221;
But she wants dialogue with those who disagree, it seems:
<blockquote>
I&#8217;m saying more than just vote. Vote for Democrats! Vote for what they want their country to look like and feel like and be like. And treat each other with kindness and respect &#8211; I have friends who are Republicans and we have dinner and agree to disagree &#8230; About two weeks ago, I had a call from Senator Bob Dole and he wanted to tell me how much he enjoyed my music and it was just so sweet of him, he&#8217;s 95 years old. And we talked about Trump! I don&#8217;t want to put words into his mouth, but we talked about when people are fair and open-minded, they can walk across the aisle. That&#8217;s what life should be about, where people communicate and agree to disagree with kindness and respect. And we&#8217;re losing all of that. I wish we had a gracious president who had compassion, someone who doesn&#8217;t have to insult his opponents or make fun of people with disabilities, or can take criticism without lashing out.
</blockquote>
Streisand has a short memory. Wasn&#8217;t it her beloved Barack Obama who made references to &#8220;teabaggers&#8221; and constantly insinuated that the police in America were plagued by endemic racism?
More pontificating: &#8220;Facts matter. Words have meaning. This man defies that. He says climate change is a hoax. Let&#8217;s release more coal and carbon into the air and have more megafires and hurricanes. I mean he&#8217;s so stupid! He&#8217;s so ill-informed. Liar is not enough of a word. There must be a bigger word for someone who lies about everything.&#8221;
And she&#8217;s revving up the insults: &#8220;'[Trump] is like Humpty Dumpty, a fat egg, sitting on a wall, and one day he&#8217;s going to fall off the wall. And crack.&#8217; It is impossible to convey quite how much disdain she packs into the words &#8216;fat egg,&#8217; but it is so heartfelt we both burst out laughing.&#8221;
Which Republicans does she like? &#8220;The country is more important to me at this point than whether my album sells. I&#8217;m sure Don&#8217;t Lie to Me turns off a lot of people who are Republicans or rightwingers. But there are some good Republicans! I was friendly with John McCain. I&#8217;m friendly with Colin Powell.&#8221;
The album ends with Streisand sighing. She commented, &#8220;That final sigh. When I first did it, people went: &#8216;What? We&#8217;ll cut that out.&#8217; I said: &#8216;No, no, no, no, no. That tells the story. That tells how I&#8217;m deflated.&#8217; I didn&#8217;t plan on doing it, but when it came out of me, wow.&#8221;

Streisand Releases New Anti-Trump Album, Says Trump’s ‘Humpty Dumpty, A Fat Egg’

On Thursday, Barbra Streisand took to Twitter to sound off about the evils of other Americans keeping their money. She tweeted out a piece from Charles Blow of The New York Times calling the tax reform bill &#8220;The Great American Tax Heist,&#8221; and included her own commentary:

Unfortunately, Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro reminded Streisand about her own history of milking the judicial system for personal gain:

Wait, aren&#8217;t you the lady who sued a photographer for $50 million for including a picture of your house in an environmental photo collection? <a href="https://t.co/j5hbux9iyH">https://t.co/j5hbux9iyH</a>

The incident Shapiro referred to occurred in 2003, when Streisand decided to sue environmentalist photographer Kenneth Adelman for putting out aerial pictures of her Malibu estate. Adelman ran the California Coastal Records Project, which worked to provide photos of the California coast to government officials for purposes of educating them about erosion. The picture in question had been seen some six times . . . total.
<a href="http://mentalfloss.com/article/67299/how-barbra-streisand-inspired-streisand-effect">As MentalFloss summarizes</a>, this created the so-called Streisand Effect, in which millions of people accessed the photos after finding out about Streisand&#8217;s nutty lawsuit. By the way, Streisand lost her lawsuit and had to pay Adelman&#8217;s legal fees.
What a woman of the people.
