At the Grammys on Sunday night, Billie Eilish bestowed her wisdom about immigration upon a grateful nation, and my first thought was: Who’s Billie Eilish?
Well, Billie Eilish, whose actual name is apparently, and unironically, Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell, is apparently some sort of pop star, which would explain her presence at the Grammys. And if she is a pop star, that means that everyone around her takes it as axiomatic that President Donald Trump is an evil fascist dictator in the making.
Everyone around this poor pop star also assumes that ICE is Trump’s Gestapo, rounding up terrified women and children who have been selflessly doing the jobs that Americans disdain to do. Their crime? Nothing more than being “undocumented,” that is, not adhering to bureaucratic niceties. The penalty? Getting shipped them back to some hellhole that nobody around Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell better call a hellhole, unless he or she wants to court career ruin.
So on Sunday night, this woman whose name is Pirate declared magisterially that “no one is illegal on stolen land.” She also said: “And yeah, it’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now. And I just — I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and keep protesting. And our voices really do matter and the people matter, and f**k ICE. That’s all I’m going to say. Sorry. Thank you so much.”
Upon receiving this steaming pile of foul-smelling wisdom, the Grammys crowd erupted into enthusiastic applause, for there is nothing that Hollywood leftists like better than expressions of hatred and contempt for the land that made them rich and famous. And apparently, no one in the moneyed and privileged crowd ventured anywhere close to anything resembling an actual thought.
If any of them had, it might have occurred to them that the received wisdom of Billie Eilish, however thumpingly applauded, really made no sense at all. If the land is stolen, then everyone on it is illegal, except those from whom it was stolen in the first place. If, however, no one is illegal, then the land can’t really be stolen. The only thing that can’t be true is what Billie Eilish actually said.
For Billie herself, however, and for the leftists who cheered her on both at the Grammys and as they watched at home, the logic, or lack thereof, was completely irrelevant. Billie Eilish wasn’t at the Grammys to teach a class, and she didn’t make her statement in order to enunciate a rational position.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Had Ms. Eilish an education, she would know that no race of people is aboriginal nor indigenous if we “believe the science” as Mr. Biden told us we must! Everyone came from someplace else if the “fact” that all of humanity today evolved from the first upright hominin from either Africa or Europe…no one knows the origins of that either.

“No one is illegal on stolen land”
What she’s saying is that the very existence of America has no legitimacy. I hope Americans all around the country understand this for what it is: The essential leftwing view of their own country. Every other country in the world is the by-product of conquest as some point in its history. The American left doesn’t dare challenge the legitimacy of other societies based on their own histories of conquest. To the left, only America is illegitimate; only America has no right to defend its borders; only America exists on “stolen land”.
If this isn’t hatred of one’s own country, I don’t know what is? We have to hammer home to the American people just how comprehensively the American left hates America and how determined they are to deprive of it of any means of identity and self-defense. Billie Eilish’s words are a perfect opportunity to do so.

The entire Leftist premise about this country is that it’s stolen land. Well, that’s true about a whole lot of countries worldwide – including plenty that no longer exist. Except that in those cases, countries that have Leftist governments that believe that should then restore the original cultures they had. For instance, Mexico should resurrect Aztec culture (excluding human sacrifice), remove Español as the official/national language and make the original Aztec language that. Similarly Peru for Inca, Guatemala for Maya and so on. African countries should make native tribal languages their official ones (not English, French or Arabic)
But as far as the US goes, people of native descent do have the option of either being a part of tribal nations, or a part of larger American society. Why don’t tribal nations then try to emulate the country as a whole, when it comes to free enterprise and all those things, rather than just be about casinos? They could do a whole lot, from resurrecting their original languages and faiths to blending that w/ modern society, just like Asian countries have done
But back to the Leftists: they don’t believe that the US is legitimate. They think that just as people who came from Europe did so w/o passports or other such documents, people from the third world should be given that same privilege. Except that such things didn’t exist 250-400 years ago, and the people who went there weren’t breaking any laws. The ones who did migrate here after 1776 did so legally, unlike the ones the Democrats are trying to smuggle in today
Taffy says
She is an insignificant nitwit, but the Grammys gave her a soapbox. And unfortunately, the media, including this blog, is further disseminating her garbage in much the same was as a kid who drops his ice cream pop on the kitchen floor then steps in it and tracks it all over the house to tell mommy that he dropped his ice cream.
Kuffar says
Someone should tell Eilish to take a laxative. She looks like she hasn’t taken a sh !t in a month.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, I’ve occasionally heard her name when I used to listen to Megyn Kelly (have stopped now for about 3 months), and I was under the impression that it was one of those exotic names she bandied about just to demonstrate how “international” or “cosmopolitan” she can be
As always, I trust celebrities w/ their political opinions about as much as I’d trust a computer engineer to perform a foot surgery on me

If their argument is no borders, then how can it be stolen land?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I think their argument is that b’cos Europeans stole the land of native American-Indians after coming in “illegally”, people from the rest of the world have the right to come here as well and do the same thing
40 rounds says
Indians didn’t believe in land ownership, so again, how can it be stolen
somehistory says
If the people from Europe had not built houses, stores, etc., and just lived in temporary homes, moving with the herds, they may have been treated just as the tribes treated each other…..sometimes kidnapping and enslaving, sometimes killing and stealing, and sometimes being nice and trading..
Wellington says
Leftism and moral idiocy are constant companions, ordinarily aided in each case by overwhelming ignorance.
somehistory says
I was listening to a guy by the name of James Klug….doing interviews on the street. One woman actually said something about a friend who had a cousin who claimed to know something…..very much like the nitwits of the grammy speaker.
Once upon a time, the grammy awards were about singing and songwriting….now, it’s all politics.

Yeah, it’s bizarre that the Dalai Lama got one of them. I support him and the Tibetan independence movement, but none of his speeches/quotes qualify as “music”
somehistory says
They are re-writing the history books and dictionaries to fit their desires.
James Lincoln says
Billie Eilish: proof positive that a successful pop singer – with boatloads of money – does not automatically mean that they can think clearly.
GE says
Didn’t I read that her big fancy house is on stolen land too? Belonged to a tribe in California?
What a hypocrite—

With parents who named there daughter pirate you know what kind of parents they are and how the dughter would turn out. Pirates though romanticised in literature and movies were simply robbers and often murderers as well

American Indians were Nomads and so in their lifestyle owned nothing so you cannot steal something from a person that does not own it… Duh?.
This ”person” came down from Canada to become famous, as all other Canadians have done before her, and start bad mouthing the country every chance they get,(Can you hear me Neil Young ) and yet this dumb as a box of rocks ”person’ ‘built a multi Million Dollar Mansion on what she/he/they/it claims is on stolen land.
Does she/he even hear themselves…
The vast majority of Nations on Planet Earth today became as such through conquest, War etc, and NO country has a good history in that department, well maybe Bhutan, but most came out of War… Thats humanity at its finest.
If she lives on stolen land then why ”she” does live on it?.
Inquiring minds want to know.
FYI This is a Role Model for young girls today… Gawd help us..
