In a see of obedience, Hollywood director Judd Apatow is one of the few openly talking about how his peers have effectively sold themselves out to China. The director has been openly critical of American leaders being silent on the ongoing abuses in China. It is shameful that no US companies and very few politicians speak up about concentration camps in China. The United States has abandoned the world when it comes to human rights. https://t.co/h3yspyv2vg— Judd Apatow (@JuddApatow) September 7, 2020 He doesn’t just stop there. He’s also criticizing his own colleagues. Nick Arama In an MSNBC interview with...

“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough began his segment this morning, by asking Al Sharpton what his message to the “25 million peaceful protesters” about the remarks by “those people, who were chanting “they hope that they died?” Al Sharpton, the guy who openly called for killing cops in 1992, told Scarborough that the message of the BLM agitators is, “We are not anti-police, and we are certainly not for killing or shooting police.” He quickly switched gears, making himself and BLM the victims, saying, “We are there saying police should not be wrongfully shooting or killing civilians, particularly in the...

This week a video of CNN's talking head Chris Cuomo coaching former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen on what answers he should give in the actual on-air "interview" fell into the hands of FoxNews' Tucker Carlson. Carlson criticized Cuomo for "manufacturing a scripted drama written to benefit the Democratic Party. Cuomo told Cohen to use the word 'shady' to describe Trump's dealings and to dodge questions about his role in the non-disclosure payment to Stormy Daniels." Cuomo defended his actions, calling them "cutting edge advances in how all political interviews will be conducted in the future. We've seen how the Biden...

A great Australian group The Seekers singing in happier times..... Democrats, Republicans and President Trump all supporting the enabling legislation telling the states to declare "states of emergency" so they could link up with federal financial support. The Republicans in Idaho who control the legislature arresting Ammon Bundy and others who came to the State Capitol to challenge their legislation in the emergency situation. Ammon Bundy posted this video last Wednesday that gets to the heart of many issues including the election, the raging political conflict and the notion of whether politics is worth anything....

Biden megadonor Bela Bajaria was promoted this week to vice president of global TV of the left-leaning streaming giant Netflix, which is facing a wave of criticism over its airing of a French film that sexualizes 11-year-old girls. Bajaria's promotion came just days after cohosting a Hollywood-led Biden fundraiser headlined by Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.). Bajaria gave at least $100,000 and as much as $500,000 to the Biden Victory Fund as part of the fundraiser. The promotion also came one day before Cuties—a French film ...A July CNBC report ranked Netflix the most liberal major tech company. According to...

Australia started out as a prison colony and there's plenty of evidence to suggest that in Melbourne and the rest of Victoria state the country is returning to its "roots". The lockdown triggering a call for protest and the government's vow to prevent it with arrests of people organizing the protest in their homes in recent days. Americans are supposed to be angry about dictatorships in other countries and the US Marines are sent to defend this formerly free country that looks like the "Peoples Democratic Republic of Australia" to me. The protesters in Melbourne today were pounced on at...

Tucker Carlson, host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” poses for photos in a Fox News Channel studio, in New York, Thursday, March 2, 2107. (AP Photo/Richard Drew)Fox News host Tucker Carlson is the most popular man on cable television. So popular that even the NBA isn’t capable of catching him.Perhaps if the NBA wasn’t constantly shoving social justice concepts and political activist group’s messages into the faces of its viewers it would be doing far better, but as my colleague Brad Slager noted, the NBA’s ratings are incomplete freefall because of it: The playoff games saw a stark loss of -20%...

I watched the 2020 Republican National Convention on C-Span, largely because the screen is uncluttered with banners and preview windows and they hang around at the end of such events for a while, particularly when President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence or First Lady Melania was the last speaker. I would try to turn to Fox for analysis only to see first up the shining visage of a Marie Harf or a Juan Williams, the DNC mole from a parallel universe that has lately been obsessing about something called “Qanon violence” whatever that is. Mornings at Fox have not been...

As prolific as Shonda, Ryan and Chuck, the lower-profile showrunner behind today's network hits ('Blindspot') and hunky superheroes ('The Flash,' 'Arrow') is not too big to keep pushing Hollywood's comfort zone on sexuality, abortions and so-called taboos. Greg Berlanti settles into a bank of couches in his office on the Warner Bros. lot, tucked in between brightly colored pillows with hand-stitched logos for two of his shorter-lived television series, No Ordinary Family and Dirty Sexy Money. There are eight more pillows throughout the spacious office, one commemorating each of his film or television projects. His mother has them made for...

Hoping someone can jog my memory... Trying to track down the specific cartoon where Bugs Bunny says "What a maroon! What an ignoranimus!" It sounds like the first few seconds of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxGgnI6kCrs There are other cartoons where Bugs uses "maroon" or "ultra-maroon," but to the best of my knowledge, this particular combo was used only once. (There's a Tasmanian Devil cartoon where Bugs calls him a maroon and then uses ignoranimus in the next sentence, but that's not this particular quote.) I have the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, but it's taking me a while to re-watch the entire...

CNN's Don Lemon warned that "the nation could face the bleak future of another four years of Trump if we don't take steps to prevent his cultish followers from reelecting him." While the views he expresses on CNN are pretty consistently hard core leftist, Lemon claims he is an "independent thinker who's not afraid to color outside the lines." One of the lines he says he is ready to breach is "the presumption that everyone should be allowed to vote for whoever he pleases. Clearly, those who genuinely like Trump are deluded. I don't see how we can let them...

(snip) 'FOX News Sunday' host Chris Wallace praised Joe Biden's Democratic presidential nomination speech on a panel with Dana Perino, Brit Hume, and Karl Rove. "I thought it was an enormously effective speech," Wallace said. "Remember, Donald Trump has been talking for months about Joe Biden as mentally shot, a captive of the left. And, yes, Biden was reading from a teleprompter and a prepared speech but I thought that he blew a hole, a big hole in the characterization." "It seems to me that after tonight, Donald Trump is going to have to run against a candidate, not a...

I’m quite aware that hip hop and rap lyrics have long been sexually explicit and vulgar. And I’m quite aware, that already in 1968, the Beatles were singing “Why Don’t We Do It in the Road?” But when the latest #1 song is too vulgar even to quote, and when you realize it will be sung by millions of young children, it’s time to say, “Enough! We really need a gospel-based moral and cultural revolution.” Back in 2017, when Cardi B, the rapper and former stripper, began to skyrocket in fame, she said, “I realized, after Halloween, a lot of...

Businesses have long based their policies on what makes money. They need to create the conditions that will bring customers back. Thus, when companies abruptly change course, people assume it is linked to the company’s bottom line. If directors perceive something that will impact their reputation and profits, they will find ways not to offend customers. That is why protests work. No one likes bad publicity. No one doubles down on decisions that lose money. When Companies Panic Such reactions can backfire. Companies sometimes panic and do not follow what their customers think but act out of fear they might...

A poll conducted by Gallup and the Knight Foundation found widespread distrust of media reporting among Americans. 73% of respondents found too much bias in so-called news reporting. 84% blamed the media for fomenting divisiveness. 75% of Republicans and 52% of independents have an unfavorable view of the media. 70% of Democrats feel the media is treated unfairly. Chelsea Aardvark, one of the so-called fact checkers at the Washington Post gave the poll results "four pinocchios." "The average person is unqualified to judge the accuracy or bias of any news source," she said. "Much of what is reported today comes...

(CU News) - Almost a year before his death at the age of 70, Johnny Cash would gain a younger generation of fans by covering a Nine Inch Nails song from 1994 entitled “Hurt”. The question of how did he end up covering that specific song is bound to be asked? It seemed like a strange choice at the time while also being very appropriate given his stage life. The original version of “Hurt” is a much different take on the song. However, Cash’s version applies an entirely unique translation based simply on who is singing the lyrics. The original...

Gina Carano has become the latest celebrity to face the wrath of internet activists after The Mandalorian star shared a famous historical photo of a lone German citizen refusing to give the Nazi salute. Carano came under fire after sharing the famous photo that many believe is German laborer August Landmesser refusing to give the Nazi salute to Adolf Hitler during a 1936 rally celebrating the launch of the Horst Wessel, a German sail training ship.

Every single player, coach and ref took a knee during the National Anthem at the Pelicans-Jazz game on Thursday.Every single member of Utah Jazz and New Orleans Pelicans wore a Black Lives Matter t-shirt and took a knee on the court in the NBA’s first game back. “Black Lives Matter” was painted on the court in large glossy letters. The NBA has made it clear that they not only support Communist China, they also support overt Marxists hell-bent on overthrowing the US government.

CNN talking head Don Lemon professed himself "flabbergasted" by US Attorney General William Barr's characterization of the violent protests following the death of George Floyd as "extreme." "How can an old white guy like Barr comprehend the righteous rage of people protesting the murder of an innocent black man by the Minneapolis Police?" Lemon asked. "How can he not perceive the justice of tearing down the society that makes crimes like the one perpetrated against Floyd possible? Looted merchandise, burned down buildings, and a few random deaths seem a small price to pay for the kind of transformation the protesters...
