‘Simpsons’ Writer Celebrates Another Prediction Now That Kamala Harris Is Running

The Simpsons” writer Al Jean celebrated that the popular animated show had once again made an accurate prediction now that Vice President Kamala Harris is running for president.

President Joe Biden announced on Sunday on X that he was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race and endorsing Harris for president. Following the news, screenwriter for the show, Al Jean, reacted to the news, the New York Post reported.

“@TheSimpsons ‘prediction’ I’m proud to be a part of,” he wrote on X. His post included a screenshot of an image from a “Simpsons” episode in 2000, showing Lisa Simpson being sworn in as the first female president. She was wearing the same purple jacket and string of pearls that Harris wore during Biden’s inauguration ceremony in 2021.

On Sunday, after Biden announced he would not seek reelection after all, many others on social media began sharing the same image on X, suggesting that the popular cartoon had predicted Harris would run for the Oval Office.

“The Simpsons as Prophetic has become one of the most enduring mysteries of our times!” one person wrote.

“It’s unnerving how often these predictions have been spot on,” another person added.

The Hollywood Reporter noted that the episode not only appeared to predict Harris, but also that it happened after Lisa Simpson took office from “real estate mogul Donald Trump.”

“We inherited quite the budget crunch from President Trump,” Lisa Simpson said in the episode.

Following the assassination attempt eight days ago against Trump, The Simpsons” showrunner Matt Selman hit back at the “horrifying” suggestion that the show somehow predicted the attempted assassination.

After a shooter opened fire on the former president during his rally in Pennsylvania, injuring Trump and killing one of his supporters, a meme began surfacing on social media showing a false image of Trump from the cartoon lying in a casket, with the caption, “First time I’ve seen a ‘Simpsons’ prediction fail.”

Speaking to TMZ, Selman slammed the image in the strongest terms, making it clear the writers and show would never have an episode about assassinating the former president and that a cartoon Trump never appeared in a casket.

“Anyone who thinks ‘The Simpsons’ would include such horrifying content on a family TV show doesn’t really watch the show or have any understanding of ‘The Simpsons’ at all,” Selman told the outlet.

Internet users falsely believing the meme came from the cartoon most likely stems from the reputation “The Simpsons” have earned after it’s been able to seemingly predict the future more than once.

Elon Musk Says He ‘Vowed To Destroy The Woke Mind Virus’ After He Was ‘Tricked Into’ Allowing His Son To ‘Transition’

Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of Tesla and SpaceX, told Dr. Jordan B. Peterson on Monday that he was “tricked into” allowing one of his sons to undergo gender procedures, saying his child was “killed” by the “woke mind virus.”

Musk sat down with Peterson for an interview that covered a range of topics and was streamed live on DailyWire+ and X. During one segment, Peterson and Musk discussed children being targeted by doctors with gender procedures, with both men agreeing that the practice is “evil.” Musk called “gender-affirming care,” the Left’s description of the procedures, “a terrible euphemism.”

“It’s really child mutilation and sterilization,” Musk said. “It’s evil. You’re taking kids who are far below the age of consent.”

“It’s very possible for adults to manipulate children who are having an actual identity crisis into believing that they are the wrong gender,” he added.

“Why are you willing to make this an issue?” Peterson asked Musk, which led to the billionaire entrepreneur opening up about his son, Xavier, who struggled with gender dysphoria and now identifies as a girl.

“Well, it happened to one of my older boys,” the Tesla and SpaceX owner replied. “I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier. This was really before I had any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on, so there was a lot of confusion. And I was told Xavier might commit suicide.”

JUST IN: Elon Musk says his son is “dead” thanks to the woke mind virus after he was put on puberty blockers, says he vowed to “destroy the woke mind virus after that.”

“That was a lie right from the outset,” Peterson said. “No reliable clinician ever believed that. There was never any evidence for that, and also, if there is a higher suicide rate, the reason is the underlying depression and anxiety and not because of the gender dysphoria. And every god-d*** clinician knows that, too, and they’re too cowardly to come out and say it.”

“It’s incredibly evil,” Musk said. “And I agree with you that the people that are promoting this should go to prison.”

“I was tricked into doing this. It wasn’t explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs,” he added. “I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead, so my son, Xavier, is dead, killed by the woke mind virus.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. I can’t imagine what that would be like,” Peterson told the billionaire entrepreneur.

“So I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that,” said Musk. “And we’re making some progress.”
