Where the heck was Beyoncé?! We were promised a diva but had to settle for the poor woman's Taylor Swift (Pink). In the run-up to the most important speech of Kamala Harris's life, rumor ran hot that Queen Bey would grace the Democratic National Convention with her presence. After TMZ reported that Jay-Z's much-better half was indeed backstage at Chicago's United Center on Thursday night, I spotted more than one delegate decked out in glitterball 'Cowboy Carter' hats and matching silver chaps. Alas, it turned out to be a big-head fake, the whole fiasco a metaphor for what America just...

Freedom, it’s often said, isn’t free. But for Democrats in Chicago this week, it’s been the gift that keeps on giving. From the Beyoncé song that’s served as Vice President Kamala Harris’ walk-on music, to its strategic deployment across scores of speeches, Democrats have flipped the script on a patriotic noun that used to feel like the exclusive property of Republicans. Instead of freedom from taxes and onerous regulation, or freedom from the government taking your guns, Democrats have reframed the word. This week, it’s meant freedom for women to make their own health care choices, the freedom for Americans...

We were wrong. That was the message Friday from TMZ that acknowledged it falsely claimed pop icon Beyoncé would take the stage in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention. The entertainment outlet had claimed the hitmaker was set to warm up the crowd before Vice President Kamala Harris strode forward and accepted the Democratic presidential nomination inside the crowded United Center. That never happened and critics were quick to point out the Democratic Party let the rumors run wild in an effort to boost the primetime television audience.

Despite the countless number of rock songs about lust, this one seems to stand out the most among critics and fans alike. Known for its timeless riff (which Keith Richards literally wrote in his sleep), this song placed #2 on the Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Released in 1965, “Satisfaction” is the song that cemented the already popular Rolling Stones as superstars.

Paul McCartney is singing his praises for Beyoncé’s version of “Blackbird.” The music legend on Thursday wrote on his Instagram page that he’s “so happy” with the Grammy-winner’s cover of the 1968 Beatles track that is included on her newly released “Act II: Cowboy Carter” album, under the slightly revised title “Blackbiird.” “I think she does a magnificent version of it and it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired me to write the song in the first place,” he wrote. He went on to “urge anyone who has not heard it yet to check it out.”

It is a truth universally acknowledged that all sane and decent people like, if not love, Dolly Parton. Another universal truth is that Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” is one of the greatest country songs ever written. But one of the truths of life in 2024 is that modern pop culture degrades everything it touches. Nothing more clearly illustrates that fact than Beyoncé’s aggressively “girl boss” version of Parton’s classic song. It’s a travesty and a metaphor for so much of the damage leftism has inflicted on the world. The original Dolly Parton song sees Parton begging the breathtakingly beautiful Jolene to...

...Daddy made me fight It wasn't always right But he said. "Girl, it's your Second Amendment" (ooh-ooh) He always played it cool But daddy was no fool And right before he died he said remember He said, "Take care of your mother Watch out for your sister" That's when daddy looked at me With his gun, with his head held high He told me not to cry Oh, my daddy said shoot Oh, my daddy said shoot With his right hand on his rifle He swore it on the Bible My daddy said shoot (yee) Oh, my daddy said shoot...

During an impassioned segment on MSNBC, Donny Deutsch slammed Hollywood and corporate America for their silence amid Hamas’ deadly attacks on Israel. “I don’t understand the silence from Hollywood. I don’t understand the silence from corporate America. I don’t understand the silence from the academics. And I don’t understand the silence from so many politicians,” Deutsch said, speaking with anchor Nicolle Wallace. Deutsch, who is Jewish, was previously a host on MSNBC and CNBC. The television personality and political analyst now hosts the podcast “On Brand With Donny Deutsch.” “There is not context here. This is about the slaughtering of...

Beyoncé is going up against the Internal Revenue Service in a recent petition filed in United States Tax Court contesting the nearly $2.7 million taxes and penalties the agency alleged she owes. Earlier this month, the "Break My Soul" singer, 41, petitioned for the court to reconsider a January Notice of Deficiency assessed by the IRS. The notice claimed Beyoncé owes over $1.4 million in additional tax and over $288,000 in penalty for 2019. For 2018, it alleged the singer owes about $805,000 in additional tax and $161,000 in penalty, according to Forbes. In her 20-page petition, Beyoncé argues that...

In 2013, Beyoncé released her self-titled album as a surprise drop. With fans and music enthusiasts up in arms, the Houston native created an uproar worldwide as people scrambled to get a piece of what the Queen was offering. Fast forward to Summer 2022, and Beyoncé dropped her most recent project, “Renaissance.” With heavy influence from vintage dance, house, and disco records — the “Single Ladies” singer, yet again, had the world in a tizzy, ready to consume her music. This time, however, her musical offering came with some questions about the business of her production, and artists like Right...

NEW YORK CITY, NY — After musical artist and professional twerker Lizzo made waves by playing James Madison's crystal flute on stage, Beyoncé upped the ante by performing in Times Square wearing George Washington's false teeth. "Howth ethyone doointh tonighth?" yelled out Beyoncé to the confused crowd while adjusting the lead-tin alloy and horse teeth dentures. "We haf a great showth for youf!" The Library of Congress confirmed they had loaned the priceless historical artifact to the singer, allowing her to be the first person to wear the teeth since a coroner removed them from dead George Washington's mouth over...

A New York Times star columnist has lashed Barack Obama for axing people who helped him to the top from his lavish 60th birthday guest list in favor of A-list stars. Maureen Dowd branded Obama 'Barack Antoinette' - a reference to the out-of-touch renaissance queen - and likened him to Jay Gatsby, the shallow people-pleaser from F Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby in her scathing piece, published Saturday. She highlighted how the former president cut his ex-chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and former campaign strategist David Axelrod from the original 600-person guest list, despite both helping him secure his...

A new survey conducted by Whitman Insight Strategies and MRC Data in partnership with DISQO measured the intersection of entertainment, influence and politics among 1,103 likely voters. The votes are in, and Tom Hanks, Dwayne Johnson, Oprah Winfrey and LeBron James have the most trusted opinions on political and social issues, according to a new survey of American voters.

Conducted by Whitman Insight Strategies...

This article includes clips of young children dressing and dancing sexually.At a time the left has declared that “silence is violence,” Michelle Obama’s silence on Netflix’s controversial movie “Cuties” has not gone unnoticed. It is also undermining her brand as “America’s mom” and chief defender of female empowerment across the globe.No one should doubt the considerable power former first lady Michelle Obama wields within Netflix or the unrivaled cultural influence she has to speak out in defense of preserving girlhood and innocence. Sadly, however, Michelle has a troubling history of celebrating, rather than denouncing, the sexualization of popular culture...

Disney dropped ‘Black Is King’ yesterday, a new movie from Beyonce that is being billed as a ‘tribute to black power’, an interesting concept to say the least. Imagine the same type of thing being release to promote ‘white power’, but I digress. Racist overtones aside, ‘Black Is King’ is yet another vehicle for Beyonce in which satanic imagery, like the baphomet headdress you see in the main photo, is splashed all through the movie. Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z have a long and storied history of cozying up to satanic and Illuminati imagery, so much so that here fans...

Tina Lawson expressed indignation that Kentucky’s attorney general paused the highly scrutinized investigation into Breonna Taylor’s killing to get engaged. Lawson’s scorching Instagram post comes two weeks after daughter Beyoncé expressed exasperation in an open letter to Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron. Both are anguished that it has taken months to decide whether to charge the three Louisville police officers who killed Taylor while she slept in her bed at 1 a.m. Lawson is especially vexed that the 34-year-old attorney general is not working around the clock to expedite the conclusion of this monumental inquest.

“A national reparations policy is a moral, democratic, and economic imperative.” (Danny Glover before a House Judiciary panel, June 19.)So apparently “morality” and “democracy” are issues of enormous concern for Danny Glover, no? Well: “My heart beat faster!–This is one of the most important moments in my life!” said a hyperventilating Danny Glover while visiting the Che Guevara memorial in Santa Clara, Cuba during one of his frequent red-carpet visits to Stalinist, terror-sponsoring Cuba where he renders honor and tribute to the mass-murdering terrorist whose lifelong craving was to NUKE Glover’s homeland–and whose regime jailed and tortured the most and longest-suffering BLACK political...
