George Wallace Life

George Henry Wallace (born July 21, 1952) is an American actor and comedian.

Early life and education

Wallace was born in Atlanta, Georgia, to Mary Lou and George Wallace Sr. Wallace. Wallace was educated at Lynwood Park Elementary School and Lynwood Park High School. His mother died when he was sixteen, causing him to move to Ohio, where he worked with Firestone Tire. Wallace attended the University of Akron, Ohio, as part of the company's tuition reimbursement scheme. He studied transportation, branding, and advertisement.

Personal life

Wallace has aspired to be a politician. In 2006, he considered a bid for mayor of Las Vegas, Nevada. Wallace said as mayor, he'd upgrade the Las Vegas Strip with an easy-to-use monorail, right across the strip to vehicles, and extend the road network behind the Strip hotels.

He was the best man at comedian Jerry Seinfeld's wedding.

George Wallace Career

Career

Upon graduating college, Wallace moved to New York City to pursue his childhood dream of being a comedian. Initially, success in comedy proved elusive and Wallace worked as a salesman for an advertising agency to pay the bills.

Wallace's break came when one of his clients opened a comedy club. The club owner was amused by Wallace's natural humor and friendly demeanor and offered him the chance to perform stand-up comedy. In 1977, Wallace walked on stage for the first time, wearing a preacher's robe and calling himself The Right Reverend Dr. George Wallace. His routine was completely improvised. He stayed in New York City for several years, perfecting his craft and living with friend and fellow comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

In 1978, Wallace moved to the West Coast, where he quickly became recognized as a talented young comedian. After one of his performances, producers from The Redd Foxx Show asked him to write for the popular series. However, after only one year of writing, Wallace returned to the stage. He became a regular at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood, California, which also featured artists including Richard Pryor, Rodney Dangerfield, Roseanne Barr, Jay Leno and Robin Williams. Wallace also took his comedy show on the road, opening for George Benson, Diana Ross, Donna Summer and Smokey Robinson, among others.

Wallace was named the Best Male Standup Comedian during the 1995 American Comedy Awards. He has explained that his routines are inspired by everyday moments of life. His social commentary proved popular with radio audiences as well. Wallace was a regular on the Tom Joyner Morning Show before joining Isaac Hayes on a popular radio program on the former WRKS radio station in New York City. He also starred in his own HBO special and has appeared on many television shows, including The Tonight Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show and Late Night with David Letterman.

On May 3, 2006, Wallace performed his most famous stand-up bit, which was a diatribe against the young generation's obsession with allowances with the oft-cited catchphrase of "Get Your Mess Right." While Wallace often jokes about the flippancy of modern youth culture (often citing the "dumb dumbs on their smart phones") this one joke in particular resonated with his audience, and he repeats it at every show.

In December 2007, Wallace suffered an onstage injury when he fell during a private-party performance at the Bellagio resort hotel and casino in Las Vegas. He sued the Bellagio, claiming negligence after tripping over loose wires on stage. In April 2014, a Las Vegas jury found in favor of Wallace and awarded him US $1.3 million.

After winning his case against the Bellagio, Wallace announced that he would end his 10-year run as a Las Vegas headliner to pursue other projects. "There are so many things to do. It's time to get into something new."

El Paso mayor insists he sent migrants to NYC to 'help them get to their desired destination'

When critics pointed out the hypocrisy in the left condemning Republicans for doing the same thing, El Paso's Democratic mayor said on Sunday that he is only busing migrants to New York City to help them get to their final destination. Migrants aren't going to the United States only to land in his border city, but rather, they're heading to other parts of the country - perhaps where they have relatives or other sponsors, according to Mayor Oscar Leeser. 'The people are not coming to El Paso,' Leeser said. They're headed to America,' says the author.

GOP officials in Florida and Texas accuse Democrats of hypocrisy over migrant transportation

Rep. Michael Waltz of Florida compared the outrage in Texas and Florida to the Biden administration's relatively muted reaction to 'ghost flights' sent by the Biden administration in the middle of the night. And Texas state Attorney General Ken Paxton defended Governor Abbott's decision to relocate migrants to outside of Vice President Kamala Harris' Washington home, which he lauded as "amazing." Senator Ted Cruz of Texas took direct aim at President Joe Biden on Saturday, branding him "the world's biggest human trafficker." It comes amid allegations that despite White House outrage over sending migrants to sanctuary cities, El Paso's Democrat-led city government has been doing the same for weeks, and has requested that the Biden administration pay for it.

Gavin Newsom has retaliated against DeSantis, the debating of Martha's Vineyard migrant flights

DeSantis (right) imitated his Texas and Arizona colleagues in sending hundreds of migrants to Democrat-led cities up north earlier this week, demonstrating the Biden Administration's border policies. Gavin Newsom (left) and other Democratic politicians have slammed the move as playing with people's lives, with the California governor opposing DeSantis to a discussion ahead of the midterm elections. 'Hey @GovRonDeSantis, clearly you're struggling, distracted, and occupied playing politics with people's lives,' Newsom tweeted on Friday (bottom inset). If you have only one overriding need - attention - let's take this up and discuss,' Newsom said in reaction to Dan Rather's tweet urging CNN to schedule a debate between the two governors. DeSantis continued to defend flying the migrants across Martha's Vineyard, claiming that the state has a $12 million budget to relocate more immigrants.
