Jim Carrey hasn’t been funny for a while. He admits it. He blames President Trump.
In the most politically charged speech ever given at the BAFTA Awards, the 56-year-old comedian enthralled and excited the audience to riotous cheers while accepting the Charlie Chaplin Award for Excellent in Comedy. It was no laughing matter, though, as he used his time to denounce the President and the United States for crimes such as “kidnapping children.”
Jim Carrey Dedicates BAFTA Award to Christine Blasey Ford and Colin Kaepernick; Denounces U.S. for ‘Kidnapping Children’
“In America, the United Kingdom, and across the globe and we need to be clear, shamelessness is not, and will never be, a superpower,” Carrey declared. “It is the mark of a villain. Kidnapping children is not what great nations do. Almost half of America at this moment believes there is a sinister deep state diabolically plotting to what? Give them healthcare? What is the sinister plan here?”
He actually started his speech in a standard Jim Carrey way with bold attempts at humor, but quickly transitioned to a somber tone, then an angry tone.
My Take
Perhaps I’m too young to remember a time when Jim Carrey was funny. My fondest memory of the guy is his extra-creepy confession of love to Emma Stone.
Most agree that he was joking and not being the cringeworthy old man he was portraying in the video, but they say truth is hidden in jokes.
Nevertheless, I’m not a fan of Carrey’s even without his politics inserted.
Carrey’s speech did one important thing. It embodied the unhinged moral low ground the far left has taken since Donald Trump won the 2016 election. They are still fighting the results and cannot believe the world hasn’t ended by now.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
