When I was a young boy we had an expression we used, “That was swift!”
It could be used with double or parallel meanings. It could mean the friend you said it to, did something really stupid or the reaction to their action really happened swiftly.
As an example; One time a friend bought a $100 Schwinn ten-speed bike because I had one. He then decided to experiment going down a grassy hill and slamming the front handbrake on without applying the rear one at all. The result was the front wheel of the bike stopped and he and the bike both summersaulted through the air. My response was, “Wow, that was swift!”
Many music fans and political analysts are now thinking if not saying the same thing about music sensation Taylor Swift’s recent endorsement of vice president Kamala Harris’ campaign for president.

So, the first way Swift was attacked for her poor decision of endorsement was by countless humorous memes on the Internet but then things took a more serious turn attacking Swift’s hypocrisy relative to climate change and her means of travel around the world, jet setting.

This video concludes with the following statement attacking Swift:
“Swift’s two private jets flew 178,000 miles in 2023 equivalent to flying around the earth 7 times emitting 1,200 tons of Co2 in the process. That’s 83 times the average American.”
But, in defense of Swift, the same way I would defend any such video prepared relative to Donald Trump going to his rallies, anybody with a brain knows Swift and Trump actually keep carbon emissions down when they, as a single individual, jet out to their people rather than have the tens of thousands of their people fly into a location to see them. That is just logic and common sense. It also shows Swift one way she shares something in common with President Donald Trump and they are not so different, but if she reads this she will probably instantly go insane.
A far more serious way Swift was attacked, if true, exposes her as being more like vice president Kamala Harris, a fake. The allegation holds that Taylor Swift has been lip-syncing many of her concerts on her world tours thus deceiving her fans who pay millions of dollars to see and HEAR her.
And before Taylor Swift’s Swiftie fans and liberal Democrats get more of their hate on for Donald Trump and his conservative Republican voters (like me) they should know that this revelation came NOT from one of us but from a young British guitarist named Fil Henley who has absolutely no skin in the game of American politics.

So what is even funnier, and more interesting about this story, is Taylor Swift’s Swiftie fans then came out to attack Wings of Pregasus so he did a second video which confirmed everything he found in the first, calibrated Auto-Tune was used at multiple Swift tour concerts. Sometimes low intellect liberals would do themselves a favor by learning to shut their mouths rather than dig their holes deeper.

Podcaster Benny Johnson and friend of Donald Trump did a pretty good show and observation on Taylor Swift recently. He basically comes to the conclusion Swift should learn a lesson and NOT endorse any future political candidates. Most of America would agree, all celebrities should stay in their lanes!

A final blow to Swift was when failed has-been comedian Kathy Griffin called Swift out this past week on social media platforms. Griffin trashed her own career when she held up a model severed head of Donald Trump after he was elected president the first time back in 2016. Her career has never recovered after that little indiscretion. Apparently, in an effort to become relevant again, Griffin thought she should invoke the name of Taylor Swift.

CONCLUSION:
Taylor Swift and I go way back.
Back in 2006, when I first began to listen to Taylor Swift, I was brand new to country music dating an honest to God cowgirl. Swift was only 17 years old when her hit single “Tim McGraw” took off.
