However the Oprah speech, her presentation and its reception together with her known political views and religious view and of course her known wealth, raises questions which invites considerations. This was not one of the many half drunk druggie MC's on an ego trip. This was a woman on a mission and from the media comments and reports, she was most successful.
I think her aspirations for POTUS are laughable. But not so to the many who are far more influential and determined to progress the policies that she promoted. It seems this megastar has been embraced and is being promoted with a degree of seriousness that a few years ago would have been unthinkable.
My question is why is this happening now and in the event that outcomes now unforeseen are successful, what eventualities are likely to occur.
Oprah's interest in matters spiritual are of interest. I note the comments concerning the similarities in the presentation of her TV shows and the Catholic Mass and her attraction to the masses who are now positively more secular than in previous years.
Some interesting times to come it would seem.

: Another post, I mean, in the
: whose-lies-or-hypocrisy-is-on-show-today
: series I discontinued back in August. (See
: the post below).
:
: Townhall Daily has a January 10 article by
: Brian Lenney titled: Think Oprah's Golden
: Globe Speech Was Amazing? Take Another Look.
:
: It refers to the Golden Globes event, where
: most of the women wore black dresses to
: demonstrate against wayward male sexual
: incidents, mostly in the past, when they
: seemed to escape everyone’s attention. The
: black dresses also seemed to be making a
: point about economy, as most of them
: constituted exercises in fabric-saving in
: the area of the bodice, and at least one I
: saw saved on labour costs by leaving a seam
: in the skirt un-sewn. For cleavage and thigh
: appreciators, it was most rewarding, but as
: a protest against unwanted male observation
: and sexual response, it fell a tad short.
: Indeed, some might have thought it a little
: hypocritical since it seemed to say, “Let me
: excite you, but I’ll prosecute you if it
: works.”
:
: Anyway, back to Oprah’s contribution. It
: commences: You’ve already heard about it.
:
: Oprah’s speech at the Golden Globes.
:
: The way the lemmings talk about it was as if
: Jesus himself entered Oprah’s body and
: enabled her to speak a better, feminist, and
: a more progressive sermon on the mount.
:
: The crowd of enabler Hollywood elitists
: stood, cried, and lauded their Philosopher
: King.
: It was (and is) religious for the Left.
:
: As Milo Yiannopoulos [url=
:
:
: “She spoke to a room full of women who were
: Perpetrators masquerading as victims and she
: blessed them and absolved them…”
:
: And now, because of *one speech*...
:
: ...they (the leftist Hollywood Perps) want
: her to run for President in 2020!
:
: Wait - what?
:
: So, let's break down that speech point for
: point...
: Here are the highlights (the entire speech
: is a bit long for a single blog post):
:
: After the introduction about how cool it is
: for her to be black and getting an award
: (because the far left make EVERYTHING about
: race), she says:
: “I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign
: Press Association because we all know the
: press is under siege these days...”
: Ummmm...where was the Hollywood Foreign
: Press Association over the past several
: DECADES? If this Golden Globes was all about
: going after sexual predators in Hollywood,
: then why does Oprah thank the ones who
: literally enabled them with their silence?
:
: Yuck.
:
: Moving right along:
: “We also know it's the insatiable
: dedication to uncovering the absolute truth
: that keeps us from turning a blind eye to
: corruption and to injustice. To -- to
: tyrants and victims, and secrets and lies. I
: want to say that I value the press more than
: ever before as we try to navigate these
: complicated times, which brings me to this:
: what I know for sure is that speaking your
: truth is the most powerful tool we all
: have...”
: The ONLY thing Oprah herself, and most of
: the people at the Golden Globes, HAVE DONE
: is turn a blind eye to corruption and
: injustice. Everyone has known about the pay
: to play culture in Hollywood that sexually
: preys on young girls and boys.
:
: Yet...nothing.
:
: We heard NOTHING until the last few months.
: The only “powerful tool” I saw at the Golden
: Globes…
:
: ...was Oprah Winfrey.
:
: And she keeps talking:
:
: “And I'm especially proud and inspired by
: all the women who have felt strong enough
: and empowered enough to speak up and share
: their personal stories. Each of us in this
: room are celebrated because of the stories
: that we tell, and this year we became the
: story.”
: What’s the story, specifically? That
: Hollywood got caught, and now they all have
: to pretend to be shocked? That story?
: Now it starts to get to good:
: “...so I want tonight to express gratitude
: to all the women who have endured years of
: abuse and assault because they, like my
: mother, had children to feed and bills to
: pay and dreams to pursue.”
: First off - this makes zero sense. Women
: “endured” abuse, because they had to pay
: their cell phone bill? And, what does she
: mean by “endured” here - specifically? I
: looked it up and the definition is “to bear
: without resistance or with patience;
: tolerate.”
:
: So according to Oprah, women let others
: abuse them to pay their iPhone data plans or
: something and said NOTHING?
:
: But, didn't she JUST SAY before this that
: these same women were “strong enough and
: empowered enough to speak up and share their
: personal stories?”
:
: They either spoke up, or shut up.
:
: It can't be both.
:
: And by tolerating sexual abuse like she and
: her Hollywood friends have always done, it
: just enables and allows the abuse to
: continue.
: And it did. For decades! Until they got
: caught.
:
: Oops. So color me not impressed here. I’d
: better not strain relations with Townhall
: Daily by quoting too much more. In any
: case, by now, you are either interested, or
: not, and if the former, you have the link.
