Exposed: A Week of the High and Mighty Showing Their True Colors 

The start of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial has exposed how sick and seedy the music mogul is.

As profane as that exposure is, it’s not as profound as the true colors exposed this week of some of the nation’s elite and esteemed institutions and individuals.  

We start with the former top law enforcement officer in the land. A man who has been selling himself for years as the epitome of righteousness.  

Comey Calls for the Killing of the President 

Former FBI Director James Comey has the Secret Service hot on his heels, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard hot to see him in handcuffs after he posted an image of shells laid out on the beach reading “86 47.” The “47” stands for the 47th president, while “86” is a familiar slang term for murder.  

Translation: Murder Trump.

As I reported Friday morning, Comey deleted the post, then claimed, astonishingly, “I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I thought was a political message. I did not know some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I am against violence of any kind so I took the post down.” 

Gabbard noted that Comey spent years prosecuting “mobsters and gangsters.” The term “86” originated as a mob term for “hit,” as in, “take him eight miles outside the city and put him six feet underground.” Pretending he didn’t know what “86” meant ranks up there with Bill Clinton not knowing what the meaning of the word “is” is, or Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson not knowing what a “woman” is.  

Even Bigfoot would say, “That’s far-fetched, pal.”  

With the dual posts Comey exposed himself to those who didn’t already know, as a very dangerous man and a callous, if not delusional, liar. And shameless, if this all turns out to be a stunt to promote his new crime novel “FDR Drive,” which comes out May 20.  

Left to be seen is whether he’s exposed himself as a felon.  

The Pulitzer Excuse Committee 

The Daily Signal’s Virginia Allen did a story May 9 on how a Pulitzer Prize for commentary was awarded to Mosab Abu Toha, a man who denied a now-released Hamas hostage had been a hostage, or even the victim of the terrorist group.  

The freed woman, Emily Damari, was righteously angered, publicly blasting the Pulitzer selection committee for honoring Abu Toha, and demanding an explanation and apology. 

Being the solid journalist she is—take notes Jake Tapper, another elite exposed this week—Virginia reached out for comment from the Pulitzer folks. The answer she got as to why they awarded an historically prestigious honor to a terrorist denier is mind-numbing.  

“The Pulitzer Prizes for reporting, commentary, literature, and the arts are based on a review of works that have been formally submitted for consideration.”  

Think about that a second. Using that logic, would they have given a Pulitzer to Hitler for his artwork? Or for that matter, “Mein Kampf?” What if Combs wrote an elegant, poignant, series of essays on womanhood, would they give him a Pulitzer?  

What are they saying? “It’s not our fault we selected a terrorism denier! We didn’t nominate him!”  

In Richard Pryor’s classic concert film “Live on Sunset Strip” the late comedy legend riffs on the experience filming “Stir Crazy” in a high-security prison and talking to one of the lifers.  

“I asked him, ‘Why’d you kill the whole family?’”  

“They was home.” 

Why did you award a Pulitzer to a terrorist denier? “It was in our inbox.” 

Episcopal Church Refuses to Help White South African Refugees 

How much grief have Christians who believe in strong borders gotten the past several years from Leftists, both secular and religious? How many times has the Bible’s Old Testament admonition to care for the stranger been used as a weapon to explain how you’re a terrible Christian if you don’t support religious groups facilitating the flow of illegal immigrants into the country?  

The Episcopal Church has been assisting refugees (real and imagined) under a government contract for years. Yet this week they were exposed, not as Christ-lovers serving all in need regardless of station or status, but as anti-white activists working for a cause having nothing to do with Christ.  

As the Daily Signal’s Tyler O’Neil reported, the Episcopal Church ended its partnership with the federal government rather than help a small group of white refugees fleeing genocide in South Africa.  

Make no mistake. It’s because the refugees are white that the Episcopalians are refusing to come to their aid. They say so in their own words.  

In a statement announcing the church’s intentions, Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe wrote: 

 The federal government informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Afrikaners from South Africa whom the U.S. government has classified as refugees. 

In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation … we are not able to take this step.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan must not be in their Bible. The line “love thy neighbor” must come with an asterisk. 

In refusing to help desperate people fleeing terror and death because of their skin color, the Episcopal Migration Ministries exposes itself as racist, as well as radical. 

Perhaps they won’t have to answer to the government, the public, or the Afrikaner refugees, but they will ultimately have to answer to the Highest Authority.  

We publish a variety of perspectives. Nothing written here is to be construed as representing the views of The Daily Signal.?
