Michelle Obama Accused of Being a ‘Raging Narcissist’ After ‘Psychotic’ Rant About Her Own Children

Everyone is taught from a young age that there are two things we should be mindful of before we speak: What we say, and how we say it.

I think, after hearing former first lady Michelle Obama talk about the burdens of motherhood, we can decisively add a third leg to this stool: It matters when you say it, too.

For those of you who haven’t been paying attention, Michelle Obama — like every person with a modicum of fame, a microphone, and some free time — is now a podcaster. This seems more like a vanity project, since I’ve never found her “IMO” podcast with her brother Craig Robinson particularly necessary listening except when something goes very wrong. But she’s kept at it, for better or for worse.

And being a former first lady, not to mention someone who repeatedly gets mentioned in potential presidential candidate speculation, she gets big-name guests. In this case, it was Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show,” who talked, lovingly, about missing the routines of fatherhood once his children moved out of the house.

“You obviously miss, you know, the energy and excitement of the kids being around is so incredible,” he said.

Michelle’s response to that?

“I don’t. I love them. I’m going to see them tonight for dinner. I love them,” she said. “But, you know, Barack cried when they went to college. I was like, ‘Bye, goodbye.’

“Now I know Friday nights aren’t wrecked with terror and fear about, ‘Where are you? Where are you?’” she continued. “I love their emancipation and growth.”

Stewart seemed to realize that maybe this didn’t come across so well and tried to save his host: “The thing I miss, though, is the job. Like, don’t you miss—your kids are still in high school, so it’s still a job. Like, it gave a meaning and a pattern to my life.”

Nope: “I’m good,” Michelle said.

She said fathers “can be that way” because mothers — presumably including herself — have more dealings with their children at a young age.

“I mean, I’ve had so much quality time with my children,” she said.

Thus, she said, she now had relief from the drudgery having to have them to worry about.

Liberal Justice Ketanji Jackson Mocked For Discussing the Importance of Impartiality… While Appearing on Michelle Obama’s Podcast

Liberal Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson appeared on Michelle Obama’s “IMO” podcast this week in an episode titled, “Move Through the Hard Times with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.”

Ketanji Jackson discussed her life before serving on the Supreme Court, motherhood and other topics.

At one point, Ketanji Jackson stressed the importance of impartiality.

“There are lots of limits on what judges can do, and I try to be very, very mindful and scrupulous with respect to that because, as you say, our obligation is to be unbiased in our approach,” said Jackson.

“And, so, you have to then navigate all the sources that could make for an appearance of partiality, which you want to avoid,” Jackson added.

The irony.

Michelle Obama chimed in and agreed and asked Justice Jackson if she consumes the news.

“You also have to watch your exposure to things, so that there isn’t a bias,” said Obama. “What does that mean for you in terms of reading the paper and listening to the news? And how do get your information and what do you have to be careful about? And how are you dealing with the potential conflicts so that you do stay above board?”

Ketanji Jackson said her legal team screens invitations to make sure there are no ethical conflict.

“When I get invitations to do things, I always have them screened by the legal office, the public information office, just to make sure that there are no ethical conflicts, that this is not a fundraiser, you know,” Ketanji Jackson told Michelle Obama.

Need Another Reason to Loathe Michelle Obama?

I’m sure you don’t, but I’ll give you one anyway.

Michelle Obama has spent years selling herself as America’s warm, approachable former first lady. Remember the whole “when they go low, we go high” thing? We knew then it was just an empty slogan, because whenever she had a chance to prove she’s the bigger person, she just proved the opposite.

According to a Daily Mail report, Barack Obama’s wife personally torpedoed Cheryl Hines’ return to the small screen when Larry David’s new HBO series, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America, began casting. The show premiered last week. Higher Ground, the production company the Obamas own, produces it.

Hines, 60, spent all 12 seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm playing Larry David’s wife, and having her return for the new show made sense.

But apparently, Obama couldn’t handle the fact that Hines is married to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services. According to unnamed sources cited by the Daily Mail, that was disqualifying.

One insider claims that Obama wanted Kennedy’s wife banned from the cast outright because she is “all-MAGA, all-the-time.” Another source says Obama reacted sharply when production staffers who knew Hines from Curb floated the idea of bringing her back.

According to one insider, Obama’s message was simple. “She’s not one of us,” she reportedly said.

Funny thing is, Hines is most definitely a leftist herself. She spent decades as a reliable Hollywood liberal long before she ever said “I do” to Kennedy. None of that bought her a pass. In Obama’s world, being married to someone in the Trump administration gets you blacklisted.

UFC CEO Dana White Says Josh Hokit Calling Michelle Obama a Man Was “Disgusting… F*cking Stupid Sh*t” – Still Defends Free Speech

UFC CEO Dana White was asked on Saturday about Josh Hokit’s Michelle Obama joke in the UFC Freedom 250 Octagon last Sunday, and he defended Hokit’s right to free speech, but condemned the remarks as “disgusting” and “f*cking stupid.”

It can be recalled that after his win against Derrick Lewis, Hokit told Joe Rogan in the Octagon, “Shoutout to Trump for having the balls to put some sh*t like this on,” before praising Jesus Christ.

He went on to drop the savage line, noting that Trump’s not the only one with balls. “And lastly, Michelle Obama is a man!” Hokit shouted. “Am I right, America?!”

Trump was seen smiling afterward, but later removed Josh Hokit’s chain, which had been gifted to him moments earlier.

Dana White previously condemned the statement, saying, “I understand that the Obamas are public figures, but I’m completely against saying nasty and false things about people’s families,” the Gateway Pundit reported. “Everyone knows my position on free speech, but I hate that kind of nonsense,” White added.

White responded again on Saturday night during a UFC Vegas 119 post-fight press conference with similar remarks.

“Look, the Josh Hockett thing was obviously the big story for the mainstream media going out,” the reporter said as White interrupted, “That was disgusting.”

When asked if he regrets having Hokit compete on the White House Freedom 250 card, White said, “Ho, I mean, listen, there’s always going to be people that say things that most of us don’t agree with.”

“I mean, just the time, the place, the, you know, just f*cking, yeah, no,” he continued.

He then praised Obama, telling reporters, “I’ve said many times, listen, I voted for Obama the first time, didn’t vote for him the second time, then, when I was at the inauguration, he was sitting in front of me, and then I saw all this stuff on the internet where people were like, ‘Oh, Dana’s mad-dogging, and Obama. Obama’s the only one that turned around to me, couldn’t have been a nicer guy, and said, Congratulations on all your success and everything that you’ve done, or whatever.”

“I don’t believe in this shit, like all the people that hate Trump: ‘He’s not my president!’ All the people, people that hated Obiden: ‘He’s not my president.’ I got some bad f*cking news for you: If you’re an American, that’s your president, and I respect all presidents, present and past, and you know not everybody does,” he added. Hilariously, he appeared to call Joe Biden “Obiden,” though likely unintentional.

White concluded, “Gotta listen to f*cking stupid sh*t like that sometimes, unfortunately, because I also believe in free speech.”

62-Year-Old Michelle Obama Says America is in a ‘Janky’ Era Under Trump, While Wearing Her Hair in Pigtails

Former First Lady Michelle Obama, 62, took to her podcast this week to trash-talk America under President Donald Trump, calling the country “janky,” while weirdly sporting a pair of childish pigtails.

In the latest episode of her “IMO” podcast, co-hosted with her brother Craig Robinson, Obama sat down with comedian Hasan Minhaj and declared that the United States is currently living through a “janky” 2.0 version of itself under Trump.

“That’s the 2.0 of life, and when we talk about how do you feel about the country? You know, there are versions of the country that happen, right? And the new version doesn’t make the old one bad. It’s necessary for growth. And I think we’re in just a janky version,” Obama declared.

Obama tried to spin the “janky” current state as some sort of necessary growing pain, praising what she called “powerful” community resistance to Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minnesota, which included riots and two agitators being shot while trying to impede agents.

This Might Be the Clearest Sign Yet the Obamas’ Marriage Is a Total Lie

Jesse Jackson’s funeral was held Friday at the House of Hope on Chicago’s South Side. Every major Democrat who still matters showed up: Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Jill Biden, California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

That’s right: sitting with a bunch of other couples, Barack Obama once again went stag. The Obamas themselves issued a joint statement about Jackson’s death that made Michelle’s absence on Friday all the more glaring. “Michelle got her first glimpse of political organizing at the Jacksons’ kitchen table when she was a teenager,” the statement read. “And in his two historic runs for president, he laid the foundation for my own campaign to the highest office of the land.” If there was ever a funeral Michelle had a personal, deeply rooted reason to attend, this was it.

So what’s the excuse this time?

Her absence at Jimmy Carter’s funeral in Dec. 2024 was bizarre enough. Her excuse was that she was “on vacation” in Hawaii. She skipped Trump’s second inauguration in Jan. 2025. Why? Her excuse was that she had nothing to wear. I’m not even joking.

I could see her refusing to go to the Trump inauguration in protest, but skipping Carter’s funeral? Well, I know she’s not a big fan of white people, so maybe that’s it. But skipping Jesse Jackson’s funeral raises huge red flags. It may be the most telling sign yet that the Obamas are married in name only.

The Obamas have been the subject of divorce rumors for a while now, and to say they’ve not handled them well is an understatement. They appeared on a podcast together, which looked painfully scripted, and of course, there’s the obligatory birthday, anniversary, Father’s Day, and Mother’s Day posts on social media. The choreographed podcast appearances and coordinated anniversary posts on social media prove nothing. Bill and Hillary Clinton have been photographed holding hands, too; no one believes they have a happy marriage.

Last June, Michelle said she was relieved she didn’t have a son, because he would have been “another Barack.” That’s not the kind of thing a happily married woman says in public.

The real tell is the explanation Michelle keeps offering. “One of the major decisions I made this year was to stay put and not attend funerals and inaugurations and all the things that I’m supposed to attend,” she told NPR last year. “That was a part of me using my ambition to say, ‘Let me define what I want to do, apart from what I’m supposed to do.'”

Michelle Obama Complains That People Best Know Her For Being ‘Barack Obama’s Wife’

Michelle Obama just cannot stop complaining about how hard her life is.

The multi-millionaire former First Lady has lamented that people know her only for being married to Barack Obama.

She made the comments during an appearance on the feminist Call Me Daddy podcast.

Ehe explained:

People would be like, “Well, how do you know what to do in this role?” And to me, it was clear that… you don’t know anything about what I did before I came here.

But I was like, well, I went to Princeton and Harvard. I mean, I practiced law. I was an assistant to the mayor in Chicago.

I ran a nonprofit, a 501c3. I was a vice president for community relations at the University of Chicago Hospitals. I was a dean of students.

All of that just disappeared in the course of this whole election, and you now see me as just Barack Obama’s wife.

That quickly my shoes become the most important thing about me… not unique to me, it can happen to the best of us.

So, I shied away from fashion leading the conversation. But I knew I didn’t completely control it.

So, let’s lean in. Let’s lean in with what we do. Let’s make sure that we have a plan and a strategy in place for how fashion, just like everything we did in the White House, would have meaning and impact.

Obama also urged women to carry on with their careers rather than focus on child rearing.

“You don’t have to get off your career track. And I don’t even recommend it,” she said.

“Because kids grow up fast. And then they’re gone. You’ve sacrificed everything. And you know, when they leave, they leave. They close the door and act like you never sacrificed.”

Michelle Obama Urges People to Be ‘Mindful’ of Buying’ White Owned Clothes Brands

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has urged people to be “mindful” when buying from white-owned clothing brands.

During a recent interview clip circulating on social media, Obama says she actively tries to buy clothes from people of “color” in order to “make it a point.”

“If I hear of someone whose fashion that I like, and I know that they’re a person of color, I try to make it a point, but the clothes have to be available.”

“You know, I think we can all do some work to think about that balance in our wardrobes, you know.”

“What does our closet look like and who’s in it? Who are we supporting in it? You know, and I think if you have the money to buy Chanel, then you have the money to buy everybody.”

“And so let us be mindful, I think would be my advice.”

The Embarrassments of Ideology

Rigid ideologies like DEI, climate dogma, and anti-Trump obsession keep collapsing under their own contradictions, leaving their loudest champions looking increasingly absurd.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is a euphemism for a rigid racialist theology.

It deductively postulates that a large percentage of the population is oppressed by racism and sexism, mostly by white males.

DEI makes no allowance for the class or wealth of the alleged victims or their supposed victimizers.

So once that rigid party line is set, it cannot account for tens of millions of affluent and privileged non-white Americans or like numbers of poor and non-privileged whites.

Absurdities and ridicule must then follow.

One example is the spectacle of former First Lady Michelle Obama on her current book tour.

Mrs. Obama cannot finish an interview without whining about the racism she allegedly encountered as the once most influential and powerful woman in the United States.

According to Michelle, she was not given the exemptions that other white first ladies received.

She did not get enough free stuff for the First Family.

She had to hire three stylists daily to straighten her hair to meet “white” expectations—as if also Asians and Hispanics do not have straight hair, or many whites do not have hard-to-comb curly hair.

Indeed, she now claims blacks cannot even swim because of white-induced pressures to maintain dry and straight hair.

Because her DEI creed ignores class and wealth, Michelle has no idea how absurd she sounds.

She and husband Barack Obama own three estates in addition to their former Chicago home, together valued somewhere around $40 million.

Their net worth is estimated at between $70 and $100 million. They fly private, surrounded by a throng of Secret Service guardians.

The more Michelle clings to the fossilized dogma of unchanging racial victimization, the more she becomes ridiculous or offensive.

Trump Suggests Michelle Obama Was Caught Using Joe Biden’s Autopen

President Donald Trump blasted open another online firehose Monday night, tossing out a fresh theory that Michelle Obama used Joe Biden’s notorious autopen.

Trump’s Truth Social account turned into a late-night rally, with the commander-in-chief unleashing more than 160 posts between 7 p.m. and midnight. Most of it came from MAGA influencers like YouTuber Benny Johnson and commentator Scott Jennings, who filled the feed with red-meat content for Trump’s base.

But the headline-grabber was a repost of Alex Jones. Trump boosted a video from the InfoWars host along with the claim that “Michelle Obama may have used Biden’s autopen in the final days of his disastrous administration to pardon key individuals.”

Trump has long accused Biden of leaning on a mechanical signing device to push through executive orders and pardons as his presidency sputtered to an end. Before leaving office, Biden granted clemency to several of Trump’s fiercest critics, including retired Gen. Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

However, so far, there does not appear to be much evidence that the former first lady had anything to do with Biden’s last-minute pardon spree.
