Goodbye, Dolly: Ridiculously Spoiled Jewish American Princess Wants the Great White North
Barbara Streisand, in the most liberal country in the world, has ridden on the back of her Jewish “look” all her life. We are to be so sympathetic to her because after all, she isn’t 5′ 11″ and blond. Meanwhile, the American movie industry and Broadway have lavished an endless amount of hype over her talents. Yes, she has a good voice but her acting is limited to one stock character, a fast-talking New York Jewish girl. However, it wasn’t Hollywood who typecasted her this way. Even when she had total artistic control, something few in the world have, her characterization was off the rack. Of course, it must have been the prejudice of Hollywood that held her back. By the way, there are a lot of really good singers out there. They all didn’t get the breaks our Miss Barbara got.
Her movie Yentl reveals her completely self-centered personality. She has no sense of Russian history or what Jews endured and why the Russian Jews really came to America. Instead, she projected backward her own gender-confused “woke” values. Stalin purging Jews, Hitler coming to power and murdering Jews, or Americans dying to liberate the world, all are just scenery for her act. These concepts and events weren’t about her and her hyper-inflated ego, so of little interest. An incredible amount of talent and money were made available to her and her limited vision. She made a self-indulgent statement trivializing what freedom was about and ignoring the unbelievable human sacrifice that humanity made to preserve it in the 20th century.
The comic tweet by Ezra Levant on his twitter feed that just happened to coincide with Ben Shapiro’s tweet about the Pakistani Christian girl said it all. Ms. Streisand and her now endless whine about the fact that she can’t interior decorate American politics just to her taste (or lack of it), is juxtaposed with a Christian girl in the Middle East faced with horrific injustice. No thanks to Barbara, and probably thanks to Donald Trump, Asia Bibi’s story has a happy ending.
Of course, poor Barbara had to endure so much. Just to remind you of the brutal way she was treated by Hollywood, I thought I’d put up an old clip.
If Barbara wants to leave the country, I can only say “Goodbye Dolly, this is Jimmy, Dolly, it wasn’t all that nice to be forced to endure you all these years…”

It’s interesting that Barbara Streisand, and those like her, share one thing in common with Russians that yearn for Josef Stalin. They never build a beach home in North Korea. None of them want to live in Hell, they just want to help build it so you can live there.
You must have listened to her latest album . . .
She won’t move, not with the mansion she lives in (I’ve seen it on Google Maps’ satellite view). Thanks to the fuss she made when its picture appeared on the internet, thousands of people have seen it now (funny story).
We shouldn’t get our hopes up. Even if she moves to Canada, I’m sure we’ll hear her from there.
The Left: If they didn’t have ingratitude, they wouldn’t have any gratitude at all.
You’re right. Canada isn’t far enough away. Maybe we need a second wall.
Canada discontinued its “immigration program for millionaires”.
Streisand can always join the lawsuit by Chinese millionaires who are demanding that the program be reinstated.

Spending on military ships buys lotsa votes in Nova Scotia and Quebec. The Trudeaupians just make sure they only build “supply ships”. Guns are icky, after all.

Aside: If the Trudeaupians’ really believed their predictions about climate change, they would be building state-of-the-art, heavily-armed, Arctic warships. Also, improved Arctic air patrol and interception capabilities. But they ain’t. They’re buying some used F-18s from Australia, and they’ll be based in Alberta.
Mis,
Damn it, Mis, I don’t think this woman can change the batteries in a flashlight much less have an educated opinion about climate change. However, I’m just beginning to fully understand her motives. Streisand probably is dying to get a major part in the sequel Strange Brew II. How base can a motivation get?

True story: The proposed Strange Brew sequel (which never happened because they couldn’t convince Rick Moranis to come out of retirement for it) was to be named Home Brew.
In Canada construction of “THE Wall” is underway:
At the risk of telling you something you already know, it’s called “The Streisand Effect.”
Wait…
Is there going to be a sequel to Strange Brew? How can they possibly top Nazi stormtrooper hockey players?
To be truly authentic, he should be brandishing a Lee-Enfield rifle.
As previously mentioned, Rick Moranis has closed the door on any hope of a Strange Brew sequel. Even if he was to come out of his self-imposed exile from movies, it would have to be for something way more artistically-fulfilling than a Strange Brew sequel.
You’ll just have to content yourself with the Bob & Doug cartoon that Dave Thomas made without Rick Moranis’ involvement.
Forget Strange Brew they should bring back SCTV.
I think it was the most successful (internationally) of any entertainment product ever produced in Canada.
