That's her problem, at least with folks who have dealt with her, and her imperious, racial disposition. Oprah refuses to talk to people, or even acknowledge their presence. She insists that you talk to her "assistant." God probably wan't up to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Oprah Giving This Poor Girl Terrible Advice is Everything Wrong With Our Culture by Kemberlee Kaye Wednesday morning, talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey gave a 14-year-old girl terrible advice on Good Morning America. As ABC explained it: Winfrey, 64, spoke about finding one’s inner compass in response to a question from a 14-year-old girl who asked her advice for young girls who want to make a difference in the world. The girl, Taylor Richardson, has raised $50,000 to send other girls to see Winfrey’s new film, “A Wrinkle in Time,” in movie theaters. Winfrey, who pledged to match the $50,000 Richardson has raised, said her advice to young girls rings true no matter their race or background. The transcript: “The highest honor you will ever have is the honor of being yourself. And your only job in the world is to figure out…people think your job is to get up and go raise money and take care of your family — that’s an obligation that you have, but your only true job as a human being is to discover why you came — why you are here. Every one of us has an internal guidance, a GPS, an intuition, a heart print, a heart song that speaks to us. Your only job is to be able to listen and discern when it’s speaking versus your head and your personality speaking. And if you follow that, you will be led to the highest good for you. Always.” With all the good she’s done, and as hard as she’s worked, I imagine Oprah was completely sincere and truly meant well. Buuuuut, nothing she suggested is helpful for a 14-year-old yet to meet the trials and tribulations of adulthood, much less adolescence, nor does her advice encourage the virtues and sacrifice required to be a successful adult. “Follow your dreams” or in this case “your internal guidance” is terrible career advice. Sure, she touches on the obligation of making money, but what 14-year-old will make that distinction? Especially engulfed in a culture of selfish entitlement? Encouraging kids to follow their dreams instead of chasing opportunity only sets them up for failure, disappointment, and an unnecessarily rough road ahead. “Following your dreams” may be possible, but no one ever talks about the amount of work and sacrifice required to make a dream reality. And in a world where college grads are saddled with copious amounts of debt all for a worthless degree, there is an even greater chance following any dream will be anything more than a fool’s errand. Mike Rowe, the former host of Dirty Jobs and unofficial spokesman for skilled and trade workers, offers great advice, “Don’t follow your passion, but take your passion with you.” It’s advice that’s far more beneficial than “your only job is to be you.” .

B-Man Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 LARRY O’CONNOR: CBS really wants Oprah to run against Trump. The full court press is on over at CBS to try and convince Oprah Winfrey to run for president in 2020. Winfrey recently told People Magazine that it would take a message from the Almighty to get her to run. “’God, if you think I’m supposed to run, you gotta tell me, and it has to be so clear that not even I can miss it.’ And I haven’t gotten that yet,” she said. So it appears CBS is determined to inspire some sort of divine intervention to get Oprah to to throw in her hat. Earlier this week Oprah appeared on CBS’ Late Show with Stephen Colbert and an animated “God” showed up, complete with Oprah for President swag. More details about CBS’s desperation at the link, plus: But here’s the really strange thing about this pressure from CBS to get Oprah to run: Winfrey is actually their employee. She is, in fact, a journalist for CBS News. So, apparently, CBS News is completely comfortable dispensing with even the faintest hint of journalistic integrity for their high-priced, 60 Minutes Special Correspondent. In all fairness, it’s been a long time since CBS News or 60 Minutes dropped any pretense of objectivity. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to that left wing nut Juan Williams there are three African American ladies who could/would beat Trump in 2020................... Michal Obama.............. gimmie a break Kamala Harris.................. gimmie a break times 30 Oprah................... don't make me laugh Trump will crush any of them just for the simple fact that do you see anyone in the middle states casting a vote for a tranny, a whore, or donut eating pig? All joking aside, the Dems need better candidates than this to have any shot.at ending Trump's presidency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
