"Don't look up to someone who spends their careers pretending to be someone they are not" The Salesman won the best foreign language film at the 2017 Oscars, and so the director Asghar Farhadi, who is Iranian, decided to attack President Donald Trump's "inhuman travel ban” during his acceptance speech which was read by a friend since he decided to “boycott” the event. Media analyst Mark Dice has the story.

With their victory for "Best Documentary", the #WhiteHelmets become the very first terrorists to ever win an Academy Award https://twitter.com/sahouraxo/status/836076146282401792/photo/1 Sarah Abdallah ‏@sahouraxo These are the Oscar-winning #WhiteHelmets: "Life-savers" one minute, Al-Qaeda terrorists the next. #Oscars #Syria

I loved the irony that this speech, which was about how stupid it was to block people from these 7 countries, was followed immediately by introducing a movie about the violence, war and terrorism from that SAME AREA!!!! And the clueless actors in the aural clapped and smiled.

He boycotted the event; I boycotted listening to his speech. We both “win”.

While it may “firm up” later in the day - they will have enough time to do some tweaking - the overnight ratings for last night’s oscars are down 2 points - lowest in 9 years.

"Don't look up to someone who spends their careers pretending to be someone they are not"

Am I the only one who sees the irony that this was said at the Oscars?

I didn't see it live, so I can only assume he said it in all seriousness.

The liberal Hollywood elite and their cronies in academia, the media, the bureaucratic state, and the Democrat party, are drawing battle lines against the majority American public that won’t be easily erased.

They are deepening and hardening a schism that will be lasting and more consequential than they’re equipped to handle.

Keep pushing, lefties. You’re writing a check that your ass can’t cash.
