Tinseltown Travelogue is a three-part series exploring Hollywood's stunning hypocrisy and institutionalized bigotry.
This story, months in the making, comes on the heels of the explosive New York Times exposé of alleged sexual misconduct over decades by Tinseltown's most celebrated producer, Harvey Weinstein, and further unmasks an industry in the midst of an ethical unraveling.
Instead of confronting Hollywood's biggest "open secret" of systemic moral decay, Tinseltown's elite have chosen to exhibit disdain for everyday Americans through brutal mockery and relentless attacks on their beliefs.
Wrapped in scandal and historic box office lows, something brand new is happening to Hollywood…it appears Americans have had enough.
This is a Tinseltown intervention.

Apparently, any man who’s ever made an off color joke is no worse than Harvey Weinstein. Just ask any woman on Facebook. It’s happened to all of them before...

He’s a piece of ### cause he also FORCED himself on women.
But man if some hotties came to me saying “i’ll sleep with you if you give me ANY role”, my faith would be tested but how.
I have a feeling I know how you'd do on the test, dp. Probably the same grade as me. :)
No, I don't believe the majority of actresses prostitute themselves for a job. However, it's been known since the first hand-cranked movie camera that there are those who will lay on the "casting couch". Personally, I think Whinestein is a male pig the way he treats women, and those that use him are female pigs.
I have always been and always will be a gentlemen because I respect and admire the wonderment of women, unless they show or treat me otherwise. I still open doors for women.
My posts give it away that MUCH huh?
Yeah, I was lying. I wouldn’t stand a chance at doing the right thing :(
Very informative and interesting articles.
Please read this article. This is exactly how leftist Hollywood happened. And what it’s like for a conservative to attempt to live and work and raise kids in this place. It’s a must read.
Haha. You and me both, brother. I have the advantage of not being married though, so I got that goin’ for me.
Thanks for the encouragement - bkmrk for post-football reading.
A long read but well worth the time.
BfL.
I said it before across multiple Weinstein articles, so I apologize for the repetition. However, I feel strongly that this is a golden opportunity to not "let a serious crisis go to waste." Except here, we're not being slimy collectivists, but upright citizens.
Mind you, I really do not like the idea of using the behavior of dirtbags and the tears of actresses/the misfortune of an innocent as a weapon against an enemy (to quote another Freeper). Real men would take these losers out back and beat some sense into them. I am also a free market capitalist and I don't want to regulate anything unless it is in line with the intent of the Founders.
All that said, we're dealing with the lowest of the low. If the Republicans had any sense of testicular fortitude - or a desire to MAGA for ALL individuals - they'd call a press conference and say:
"Democrats are clearly pro-misogyny. Silence equals consent. They said nothing while one of their fundraisers roamed as a sexual predator in Hollywood.
"It is sad that the loudest Democrat since this story broke has been Hillary Clinton, as she acknowledged that the Oval Office has seen a sexual predator - her husband.
"The Republican leadership asks the Democrats to reject Democrats' harboring of anti-woman fundraisers, and join us as we announce the start of hearings on the civil rights of individuals amidst this poisonous atmosphere in Hollywood, with an eye toward regulating studios and actors and actresses under the Commerce Clause as so many Democrats have with other parts of the economy."
Others have noted that the Republicans likely have skeletons in their closet and there is a risk in this approach. I agree, but maybe it's time to man-up and clean the Augean Stables. Frankly, I don't care if it's Hollywood or Wall Street or Main Street or K Street...this isn't the way real men act.
Yes, some people may have not spoken out for a variety of reasons. Nobody knows what is in the heart of mankind. I will not be the first one to cast a stone, and based on some of my readings, there is a lot of internal sorrow going around nowadays. That, to me, is enough punishment but the good news is, there is always room for forgiveness FOR THOSE WHO SEEK IT WITH CONTRITION.
All that said, there is always love, but there is also justice. Many of us need to step up - the time to act is upon us. From Moses to St Joseph to men of fidelity throughout history, now is the time for Deplorables to reclaim the mantle of "compassion" from the statists, and expose their War on Women. Who among us is willing to put thought into action, and in our daily lives when we encounter even a modicum of this behavior, to speak out forcefully?
Without becoming too preachy, to quote an earlier post today, שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָד. Šĕmaʿ Yisĕrāʾel Ădōnāy Ĕlōhênû Ădōnāy eḥād. Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One. With Him on our side, we can't lose.
You hit right to the gut of the problem. For too long our side has fought the culture wars with one hand tied behind our back. We refuse to cross a certain line due to our goodness and honor. We allow the enemy to use our own rules against us in true Alinsky style.
The enemy shows no restraint and that gives them the advantage. They have won for lo these past fifty years. And here we are.
The Donald, Milo, Katy Hopkins, Ann Coulter, Steve Bannon, Nigel Farage, Ben Shapiro, and others have shown us that we can fight to win, even if means getting down in the mud with the rascals. We can have our honorable warriors as well, but we must have our assassins too.
This war is for the future of our civilization and the future of mankind on this earth, and it must be won. I, for one, have thrown off the shackles of proper behavior and will face them on their field.
Thank you for that, DoodleBug. You have inspired me.
Ditto to bagster’s message about your well-crafted rant! I, too, have only read Part I yet now know the coming battle will not be short nor will it be for the summer soldier. The cultural divide described by the article now also defines so much more and is going to have to be challenged at every opportunity. It can take multiple forms but each deserve being called out as the anti-American, counter-cultural, and generally deleterious rot they are. Sexual predation in La La Land is unacceptable and so is the lack of intact families in too many neighborhoods that lead to misplaced anger and poor life choices. The general result is lie-based counter-cultural movements like BLM and AntiFa.
The clown has disappeared from public view in humiliation.
Riducule works. And our nerds are better than their nerds.
Well spoken, T-Bird45. I wholeheartedly concur.
