Slapping Chris Rock was also a blow to men, women, the entertainment industry, and the Black community. When Will Smith stormed onto the Oscar stage to strike Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife’s short hair, he did a lot more damage than just to Rock’s face. With a single petulant blow, he advocated violence, diminished women, insulted the entertainment industry, and perpetuated stereotypes about the Black community. That’s a lot to unpack. Let’s start with the facts: Rock made a reference to Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, as looking like Demi Moore in GI Jane, in which...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized Americans who are 50 years and older to receive a second booster of the COVID-19 vaccine from either Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna.The authorization makes millions more Americans eligible for a fourth dose. Currently, the U.S. urges two primary shots followed months later by a booster dose for everyone age 12 and older. The second booster approved Tuesday for those 50 and up should be administered at least four months after the previous booster, the FDA said. A fourth dose had only been recommended for people with severely weakened immune systems, who need three...

In a tense press conference Monday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki faced pointed questions about several Biden misstatements that led to chaos during his trip overseas. Psaki quickly reassured the gathered press that Biden doesn't speak for the President of the United States. "The President has clearly said, and we agree, that Joe Biden does not speak for this administration," said Psaki to the confused reporters. "Nothing said by Biden should be misconstrued to reflect the official foreign policy of the President. This administration has been clear from the beginning, that we have always been clear about what we have been...

A Florida teacher shared anxieties with MSNBC Tuesday that he won’t be able to talk about his love life with his kindergarten students anymore due to HB 1557. Kindergarten teacher Cory Bernaert reacted Tuesday to news that Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had signed legislation banning classroom discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity for Kindergarten through 3rd grade (ages 5-9). “It hits hard in my heart professionally and personally,” he said. “Professionally it truly makes me feel like I am not trusted as a professional. I know my kindergarten standards through and through and nowhere in our curriculum does...

Top Military brass and administration officials contradicted Joe Biden's claim that U.S. forces are training Ukrainian troops in Poland as the president continues to face backlash following remarks claiming Vladimir Putin needs to be removed from power. 'I do not believe we are in the process of currently training military forces from Ukraine in Poland,' General Tod Wolters told the Senate Armed Services Committee during a Tuesday hearing. Wolters, the Commander of the U.S. European Command and North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) Supreme Allied Commander Europe continued: 'There are liaisons that are there. They're being given advice.' 'And that's different...

The greatest damage Donald Trump did may not be in the actions he took but in the influence he had. Mr. Trump isn’t the brightest bulb. He’s tremendously talented as a room-reader and as a reflector of emotion, but he is no brilliant tactician, no wise sage, no erudite intellectual. He runs on spectacle and fury. There is no grand vision or grand plan. His quest is to win the moment. His focus is too narrow to even consider the larger struggle. But he did something, unleashed something, that is so much bigger than he is now or ever will...

The reason this is important even though the contents of the laptop are confirmed and have been made public is because being in the Congressional Record obligates Congress to act on anything unlawful that is found in it. Democrats will stall for as long as possible but if Republicans take back control of the House of Representatives following the midterm elections, this will streamline any investigations that could come from the laptop against Hunter Biden, his family, his accomplices, and even his father. This is a huge development that will be completely ignored by corporate media. It has been months...

Hilaria Baldwin has revealed she is pregnant with her seventh child with husband Alec Baldwin, just months after the actor became embroiled in a devastating tragedy when he accidentally shot dead a crew member on the set of his movie Rust. 'After many ups and downs over the past few years, we have an exciting up and a huge surprise: another Baldwinito is coming this fall,' Hilaria wrote Hilaria, who suffered two miscarriages before welcoming her fifth child, Edu, admitted that she didn't think anymore children were in her future, explaining that the news of her latest pregnancy came as...

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — About 7,000 migrants are being stopped crossing the border daily from Mexico, the U.S. Border Patrol chief said Tuesday, a sharp increase from February that comes as the Biden administration nears a decision on whether to end sweeping asylum restrictions designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Chief Raul Ortiz said 1,500 Cubans were stopped over the previous day, well more than double the daily average from February. He nodded when asked to confirm that about 7,000 migrants were being stopped, which compares with a daily average of about 5,900 in February. The sharp increases, if...

As expected, Palestinians in Gaza are celebrating the murder of 5 innocent Israelis tonight, after a Palestinian terrorist opened fire at pedestrians on a Bnei Brak street. These photos, taken by Ashraf Amra, show an unknown Palestinian man distributing sweets to people on the street after five Israelis were killed in shooting attack, in Deir al-Balah in the center of the Gaza strip.

It looks like the analytical geniuses over at the San Francisco Fed have finally figured out something that Larry Summers anticipated nearly a year ago: When you pump trillions of dollars of stimulus spending into the economy, it causes inflation to overheat to the highest level in a generation. Of course, Summers was aggressively poo-poo'd by policy nabobs at Treasury (not to mention the Eccles Building) when he first projected that inflation would likely exceed 5% by the end of 2021 thanks to the federal government's decision to hand out trillions of dollars in stimmies, benefits and PPP loans (combined...

Amusing propaganda video about Russian looters

The smack heard round the world. That’s what this year’s Academy Awards are likely to be remembered for, after Will Smith struck comedian Chris Rock in the face as he presented the award for best documentary feature. The incident came after Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, mocking her shaved head. Pinkett Smith, an actress and host of the award-winning talk show Red Table Talk, has publicly shared her struggles with alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that attacks hair cells. The tasteless jab was enough to cause Smith to march on stage and strike the chuckling comedian...

MOSCOW, March 29. /TASS/. The Russian-Ukrainian talks that took place in Istanbul on Tuesday were constructive, the head of the Russian delegation, Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky, told reporters. He said Moscow made two de-escalatory steps. One was offering to hold a meeting between presidents Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky simultaneously with the initialing of a peace treaty by their Foreign Ministries, or earlier than planned before. In the other step, Russian troops would drastically reduce their activities toward Kiev and Chernigov.

At the link, a photograph of Biden holding his literal Cheat Sheet of agreed upon in advance questions and carefully planned answers. The White House decides what questions be asked, down to the exact wording, and formulates carefully the reply so that Biden doesn't have to think at all. Which is good because he can't think at all. An absolute farce of a "press conference" and "Q&A" Do you think the press would agree to this for Trump if he gets reelected?

Historians and polling companies love to provide their assessments of past presidents, and to a lesser extent vice presidents. While it is still early in her tenure – so there’s a chance she’ll make a comeback – let’s just say those future assessments of Vice President Kamala Harris’s job performance will likely not be kind. It’s remarkable, since the U.S. Constitution gives the vice president almost no duties to fail at — and yet failing she is.
