In Other “Nutty” News, the Anti-White Faction is Attempting to Run Ken Jennings Off Jeopardy
By Hayley FitzPatrick
Ken Jennings is addressing some of his past tweets.
In a series of posts on Wednesday, the "Jeopardy!" champion, who will be the show’s first guest host following the death of Alex Trebek, apologized for "unartful and insensitive things" he’s previously said on the social media platform.
"Hey, I just wanted to own up to the fact that over the years on Twitter, I’ve definitely tweeted some unartful and insensitive things," he wrote. "Sometimes they worked as jokes in my head and I was dismayed to see how they read on screen."

Jennings went on to explain why he has not deleted some of his past tweets that were deemed offensive.
"In the past, I'd usually leave bad tweets up just so they could be dunked on. At least that way they could lead to smart replies and even advocacy. Deleting them felt like whitewashing a mistake," he tweeted. "But I think that practice may have given the impression I stand by every failed joke I've ever posted here. Not at all!"
One of the tweets he shared reportedly included a joke about a disabled person. He apologized for the since-deleted tweet, which reportedly read, "Nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair," in 2018.
"I never did a public flogging thing for this but I did apologize personally to angry/hurt people who reached out personally," he responded at the time. "It was a joke so inept that it meant something very different in my head & I regret the ableist plain reading of it!"
Other tweets of Jennings’ that many have called into question include a since-deleted remark about Barron Trump and a joke about fans who had seen the 2015 film "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" early, which many connected to several terminally ill fans who saw the film before its premiere date.

[GRA:THIS is what the dust-up is all about--getting LeVar Burton in and Jennings out.] [N.S.: If I ever ran into Burton, I’d have to say, “LeVar Burton? I thought you was dead.”]
In his posts Wednesday, Jennings said he is "truly sorry."
"Sometimes I said dumb things in a dumb way and I want to apologize to people who were (rightfully!) offended," he tweeted. "It wasn't my intention to hurt anyone, but that doesn't matter: I screwed up."
[GRA: Is it enough? I doubt it.)
Jennings, a 74-time champion of "Jeopardy!", was announced as one of the show's interim hosts last month. Production for the show resumed on Nov. 30.
Happy New Year, fellow Whites.

A judge dismissed a lawsuit from Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, that was aimed at Vice President Mike Pence, seeking to put the authority to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's election win in the vice president's hands.
U.S. District Court Judge Jeremy Kernodle, who is a Trump appointee, said Gohmert and a group of other Republicans on the lawsuit "lack standing."
Gohmert "alleges at most an institutional inquiry to the House of Representatives," Kernodle wrote.
Gohmert and the group of Republicans filed the suit against Pence this week, arguing that the vice president has the constitutional authority to decide which states' Electoral College votes to count.

Election lawsuit: Mike Pence asks judge to toss Gohmert's lawsuit that seeks to overturn election results
Kernodle continued, “The other Plaintiffs, the slate of Republican Presidential Electors for the State of Arizona (the ‘Nominee-Electors’), allege an injury that is not fairly traceable to the Defendant, the Vice President of the United States, and is unlikely to be redressed by the requested relief.”
“Accordingly, as explained below, the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over this case and must dismiss the action,” the judge stated.
Pence, in a 14-page filing by Justice Department attorneys Thursday evening, claimed the lawsuit should be brought against Congress.
"[T]hese plaintiffs' suit is not a proper vehicle for addressing those issues because plaintiffs have sued the wrong defendant," the response states, continuing that Pence "is ironically the very person whose power they seek to promote."
What to expect: Congress is set to certify Biden's election win Jan. 6
Pence is set to oversee Congress when it officially counts the votes cast by the Electoral College on Jan. 6, and the suit argues that Pence has the constitutional authority to ignore votes cast for Biden in states where Republicans have tried to cast doubt on the results.
There is no evidence to support Trump's claims of widespread election fraud.
In December, states certified their Electoral College results, giving Biden 306 votes to President Donald Trump’s 232.
So we are supposed to support a creep who is anti Trump, anti conservative--anti anyone who isn't a leftist like himself--just because he is white? Lots are creeps are white--from Stalin to Charles Manson to Mittens Romney--that doesn't mean I support them. No way in hell I'd support Jennings.
Sounds like (Ass)ociated Press' POV.

I had a choice in Michigan to vote for John James(a black married to a White woman)or Gary Peters,a White Democrat.I will never vote for a black over a White in any contest.You think Lenin or Stalin were evil,wait until the blacks start running things in THIS country.White corpses will be lining the streets.
LeVar Burton is another instrument in the process of convincing Whites to accept blacks as their equals(or superiors as blacks claim).
Trebek was a liberal,the show has gotten more liberal with pro-black categories,I'll take Jennings any day over Burton.
