MAUREEN CALLAHAN: Wait — this is a joke, right? DUI defendant Kerry Kennedy
gets scandal-engulfed Alec Baldwin to give hypocritical beta-royal Meghan
Markle... a human rights award? Please make it stop!
Well, Meghan Markle
did once compare herself to Nelson Mandela.
The Duchess of Despair and hapless Prince Harry will be
among this year's recipients of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award,
recognizing their work 'to protect and advance equity, justice, and human
rights.'
The award – named for RFK's iconic 'Ripple of Hope'
speech delivered in
When you hear that, who doesn't think: Oh right, Harry and Meghan!
'They went to the oldest institution in UK history
and told them what they were doing wrong,' said RFK Human Rights President
Kerry Kennedy, removing all doubt that she has despoiled her late father's
legacy and stripped this honor of any real meaning. 'That they couldn't have
structural racism within the institution . . . I think they have been heroic in
taking this step.'
To Kennedy's (dubious) point: The Mandela
comparison never gets old.
Here was Meghan in New York Magazine's The Cut last
August, telling us that she had gone backstage after a performance of 'The Lion
King' when a South African cast member 'looked at me and . . . he said, 'I just
need you to know: When you married into this family, we rejoiced in the streets
the same we did when Mandela was freed from prison.'
As this very outlet reported, that lone South
African cast member said he had never met Meghan Markle.
Hosting this year's event, with tickets starting at
$2,500 and going all the way up to $250,000 — basically, the equivalent of a
down payment on a nice 6-bedroom house— is none other than Alec Baldwin.

No one dismissed this whopper better than the great
man's grandson, Zwelivelile Mandela, who told DailyMail.com that 'Nelson
Mandela's release from jail was the culmination of nearly 350 years of struggle
in which generations of our people paid with their lives. It can never be
compared to the celebrations of someone's wedding.'
A wedding paid for with $42.8 million of taxpayer
money, Britons lining the streets and cheering, a surfeit of goodwill that
Harry and Meghan promptly and grossly tossed aside.
Reportedly Meghan Markle said on her first royal
tour, just months later: 'I can't believe I'm not getting paid for this.' So
they sauntered out the palace door, hats and grievances in hand, seeking and
getting monster paydays from Netflix and Spotify.
To paraphrase Kerry's late uncle John F. Kennedy: What
profiles in courage.
As to that claim of racism: Queen Elizabeth II was
no racist. In fact, she was such a close friend and admirer of Nelson Mandela
that he was among the very few to call her 'Elizabeth' — not 'Her Majesty' or
'ma'am' — and gave her an affectionate nickname: 'Motlalepula,' which
translates to 'come with the rain,' her first visit having taken place during a
torrential rainstorm.
King Charles is a vocal admirer of Islam and
studied Arabic to better understand the Quran. He's a critic of Western
materialism and outspoken champion of climate action.
Queen
These are the 'structural racists' Meghan and Harry
so bravely confronted?
Incredibly, Harry and Meghan will be honored at the
RFK gala alongside Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. Two of these
honorees are not like the other, am I right?
And it gets better: Hosting this year's event, with
tickets starting at $2,500 and going all the way up to $250,000 — basically,
the equivalent of a down payment on a nice 6-bedroom house— is none other than
Alec Baldwin.
Yes, the man who accidentally shot and killed his
coworker and has since expressed zero guilt — 'Someone is responsible,' he told
ABC's George Stephanopoulos last December, 'and I can't say who that is, but I
know it's not me' — has been tapped to emcee a human rights event.
As to that claim of racism: Queen Elizabeth II was no
racist. In fact, she was such a close friend and admirer of Nelson Mandela that
he was among the very few to call her '
This is a value system only the ultra-left could
abide. It's an episode of '
Zelensky aside, it's more the Olympics of
Victimhood than the vanguard of human rights activism.
Yet it's to be expected from Kerry Kennedy, a woman
for whom self-awareness is a foreign concept. She has spent her tenure grinding
Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights (terrible name, by the way) into meaningless
virtue-signaling. She spends her time chasing after celebrities and high-level
donors hardly synonymous with human rights.
To wit: other honorees this December are Frank
Baker, head of private equity firm Siris and recent purchaser of a $32 million
Palm Beach mansion; Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan and billionaire Michael
Polsky, CEO of renewable energy company Invenergy, which last year sued Worth
County, Iowa, in an attempt to force the company's wind projects on the area.
What any of these titans of industry have done for
human rights is beyond me, but we're supposed to trust Kerry Kennedy here — a
leader who, as former employees told me back in 2016, treated her human rights
staffers like dirt.
'For someone who's a human rights lawyer,' one told
me, 'I don't think I've ever met someone who cares so little for the people who
work for her.'
'In general,' said another, 'she treats everyone as
the person who would go get her coffee.'
Well, that's one thing she and Meghan seem to have
in common.
Meghan Markle, who as a newly-crowned duchess on a
tour of Africa, bemoaned on camera that 'not many people have asked me if I'm
OK'; whose reported bullying of royal staffers led to resignations — to say
nothing of reportedly reducing Kate Middleton to tears, as Tom Bower reported
in his book 'Revenge.'
Meghan also leveled vile, unfounded, unspecific
accusations against the royal family as patriarch Prince Philip was on his
deathbed and, with her husband, has since claimed endless victimhood from a
$14.5 million Montecito mansion while clinging to the very royal titles they
say represent the British royal family's racism, colonialism and elitism — I
mean, really, who better?
Incredibly, Harry and Meghan will be honored at the RFK
gala alongside Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. Two of these honorees
are not like the other, am I right? (Above) Zelensky is seen on screen

But let's throw a huge event with an astronomical
cost-of-entry-fee to celebrate hypocrites of all stripes, and highlight Harry
and Meghan — two people who laud themselves for charitable qualities they don't
seem to possess, who lecture us all on how to live from their multimillion
dollar palatial estate, eco-warriors who fly private at every opportunity, who
complain publicly about how hard they have it, how misunderstood they are and
who insert their frankly picayune grievances into our daily lives.
This is satire, right? An ultra-liberal host, one
most rational people believe guilty of manslaughter, awarding two spoiled
middle-aged beta royals a human rights award.
Volodymyr Zelensky deserves so much better.
Elevating Alec Baldwin and Harry and Meghan to his level — insulting and vulgar
doesn't begin to cover it.
If those three are humanitarians, then truly, I
ask: What are the criteria?
If you're Kerry Kennedy, that criteria is
upside-down, bonkers, berserk. This is someone who demonized her lifelong best
friend and sister-in-law after she committed suicide, in a pathetic defense of
her brother. Someone who smashed into a tractor trailer on a New York highway and
left the scene, who then did what privileged people like her do best — gripe
publicly about what a bum rap she got, how life is so unfair for rich and
famous people like herself.
'[It's] a terrible policy,' she told the Today show
after her acquittal, ' . . . pursuing every case of driving under the
influence.' Yes, pity the reckless driver impaired by substances.
If you're Kerry Kennedy, you're using your human
rights foundation as a piggy bank to take out a $2.4 million line of credit,
traveling for 'work' and staying in $500-a-night hotels, using inherited money
and fame as some kind of proof that you're smarter and better than everyone
else.
And if you're Meghan Markle — hey, you're just like Nelson Mandela.
BLOGGER'S NOTE. Every once in a while I just have to run a story on these two, though I can't bring myself to write it. I can't look at pictures of them, listen to their whining, griping voices, or watch videos in which they smarm up to people they want to grift. I don't know when this will end - or if it will, or if - worst of all - Meghan does fulfill her ultimate goal to be President of the World. Trump had it, for a few years anyway, until his own insanity brought him down. But I'd rather have Trump in for another four than even contemplate this raving bitch in charge of anything at all.Normally I'd break up the text with images, videos, gifs, etc. - but this time I couldn't bring myself to use any image except the one which sums it all up in ONE picture.
