Guilt, Schmilt. They Earned the Fall.

We lacked compassion, weren't inclusive, and were too stupid to grasp nuance.

Not once did the elites miss a chance to remind us that our rudimentary brains wouldn't allow us to reach elite enlightenment. Their decency was evident in the monogrammed scarves they wore while lecturing the unwashed masses, using simple words to discuss morality, climate, race, gender, and civility as they waited for their assistants to clear the way for them to reach their private jets on their hypocritical tarmacs.

But now?

Winds are shifting, and those scarves are unraveling.

New Media Wrecked the Ivory Towers

Like persistent weeds littering their pristine gardens, the new media is popping up in a variety of ways, too many to squash. Our modern information age stopped the navel-gazing that the legacy media often did.

New media tore the velvet ropes off gated narratives and walked over them.

The result? For the first time in their lives, the elites are starting to be asked difficult questions, held to real standards, and expected to practice what they preach.

They don't like eating crow. Perhaps they should look into buying some catsup.

Podcasts. Substacks. Candid phone footage. The modern information age doesn’t worship credentials — it weaponizes transparency. New media ripped the velvet ropes off their gated narratives and dropped the lights on their missteps.

The result? For the first time in their lives, the elites are being asked actual questions. Held to real standards. Expected to practice what they preach.

And they don’t like it one bit.

Jake Tapper: CNN’s Moral Gatekeeper Hits a Wall

Take Jake Tapper. Once CNN’s confident sheriff of truth, he acts more like a spin artist caught in a hurricane of his own design. He sits upright and smug, correcting every guest who dared stray from THE NARRATIVE. He simply doesn't interview guests; he interrogates them like a scorned guidance counselor.

After his book came out, he began running into situations where he was asked basic questions about President Biden’s mental acuity, something so plainly evident that even the White House gardener's gardener was whispering about it. 

Credit to him for showing up, but when Megyn Kelly opened up on Tapper, he flinched, danced, and squirmed. He tiptoed around the truth in ways to make Floyd Mayweather Jr. proud, acting like he was a matador and the bull was the truth.

And, for the first time in his career, the bull gored him.

The Obamas Are Finally Losing Their Aura

The Camelot-reboot that stormed into the White House with history on their side. Remember? When the Earth finally healed, and dogs and cats lived together, it was a truly blessed time for all of us.

The lightbringer walked around in pants that never wrinkled. His dutiful wife planned school lunches for children in all the land.

Awesome!

Any time the new media criticized their personal lives, they were branded racists. How dare we simple-minded folks question anything surrounding them? After all, the Nobel Committee gave Barack the Nobel Peace prize before Michelle could redecorate the residence. That couple was beyond approach.

Lately, click any conservative news aggregator, and you'll see multiple headlines trying to outdo themselves, sharing nuggets about an impending divorce. At the same time, Michelle continues to look a fool complaining about how miserable she is living in a country that has continually failed her. Not black people, but her. All the while, sycophants nod their heads in coordinated sympathy, yet lacking the skill to look as though they stepped in something dairy farmers walk around daily.

At long last, their sheen is fading while the mystique keeps cracking.

Humility Hurts When You’ve Never Needed It

Here's the part that makes this so bloody rich. These people have never had to deal with consequences. Ever. Obvious plagiarism? Swept under the Persian rug. Lying? It's that nuance we flyovers keep missing. 

People, such as Missus Pantsuit herself, Hillary, have ruined lives for daring to expose how Slick Willie treats women while they enjoyed the wall of protection the MSM provided.

The bubbles they live in were as coordinated as "The Truman Show." I swear I've never seen the Obamas or Clintons sneeze. It makes me wonder if Barack gets a tickle in his nose, that an aide sneezes within moments.

When living such a pampered life, as the expression goes, they were born on third base, thinking they hit a triple, and receiving awards for simply having the correct name hasn't prepared them for something they've never had to deal with.

Humility.

It's not the kind of humility that increases personal growth. It's the kind that ambushes them live, on-air, leaving earpieces begging for a commercial break.

We’re Not Laughing Out of Cruelty. We’re Laughing Because It’s Just.

I want to admit that watching the elites struggling with reality makes me feel bad for them. After all, it's human nature to see someone in trouble and offer help. For years, the media told us that we shouldn't enjoy somebody else's suffering while watching lunatics expressing that same behavior during the next segment.

I really want to admit I feel bad for them.

But, I don't. Not one bloody bit.

They mocked our hometowns, our religion, our accents. We were labeled anti-science, anti-woman, anti-fact, and stuck in the past.

We were labeled domestic threats for questioning lockdowns and for raising justifiable concerns during school board meetings. We were idiots for not understanding democracy when we asked why mail-in ballots were suddenly sacred.

So forgive us if the moment tastes sweet, because boy, it does.

It's not revenge, it's closure.

This Isn’t a Moral Failure. It’s a Moral Correction

Here's where we'll be accused of sinking to their level by watching Tapper squirm under the lights or watching the Obamas fend off tabloid accusations, and enjoying it makes us petty. But they're missing the point.

Nature finds a way for balance.

The rules were of their design, yet we kept watching them break their own code. Now, we're watching scoreboard updates in real-time.

These people are not victims, no matter how badly they whine to their brother on a podcast. They created the very culture that's now turning on them. If the castle crumbles, it's because the foundation was arrogance, not stone.

Even Their Trusted Playbook is Broken Now

What’s worse? They still don’t know how to stop it. Their playbook, including an apology tour, a puff piece in The Atlantic, and a guest spot on Colbert, no longer works. People aren’t tuning in for redemption arcs. They want truth, accountability, and deserve real answers to real questions.

And nothing frightens the professional elite more than the possibility that the public is finally done playing along.

They used to gatekeep ideas. Now they can’t even gatekeep their own marriages.

I Should Probably Feel Bad… but I Don’t

I know I’m supposed to feel guilty. I know I should climb onto some higher ground and remind myself that “we all fall short.” That “grace” should triumph over gloating. That decency is the mark of a civilized society.

But today? Nah, I'll pass.

I’m tired of pretending people who mocked me for decades deserve a soft landing. They’ve had enough pillows: It’s time they hit something firm.

Because when you spend a lifetime telling others they’re unworthy of forgiveness, don’t be shocked when nobody offers you any.

Final Thoughts

The moral high ground has been repossessed. Not by mobs or trolls. But by a public that’s no longer afraid to ask the question the networks won’t: “Who made you king?”

These people lied, laughed, and lectured, selling out truth for prestige. Now, they want dignity on demand. But dignity, like respect, is earned, not given.

What we’re witnessing isn’t cruelty; it’s a consequence. What we’re feeling isn’t hate: It’s honesty and a little tough love.

And if there's a slight grin creeping across my face while Senator Kennedy makes another liberal look like a fool?

Guilt, schmilt. They earned the fall.

And it's about damn time.
