U2 releases Renee Good tribute song 'American Obituary' "These songs were impatient to be out in the world," singer Bono said of the band's surprise new EP, "Days of Ash." Irish rockers U2 became the latest high-powered musical act to condemn the federal immigration raids with the surprise release Wednesday of a six-track EP that kicks off with a song for slain Minneapolis protester Renée Good. Following in the footsteps of Bruce Springsteen, Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish and other artists, U2 recorded “American Obituary,” a four-minute plus musical condemnation of the crackdown that left the mother of three dead on...

The band also included a pro-Palestinian song in the group of six new songs, titled “The Tears of Things,” ripping Israel for putting violent Hamas terrorists “into a cage” and hinting that the band thinks Palestinian “rage” is justified. “If you put a man into a cage and rattle it long enough,” Bono sings, “A man becomes the kind of rage that cannot be locked up.” Irish rockers U2 have released a short album on Ash Wednesday titled Days of Ash, with a track celebrating radical anti-ICE activist Renee Good and ripping Trump supporters as “the people of the lie.”...

Jamie Kennedy has slammed anti-ICE celebrities who preach from glitzy Hollywood red carpets about authoritarianism while being protected by security guards. The 55-year-old comedian appeared on Jack Osbourne’s “Trying Not to Die” podcast on Tuesday, calling out liberal stars who cry about living under a so-called “fascist regime” while they are “literally guarded.” He said “when you have actors from the red carpet of an award show” saying stuff like “we’re under a fascist regime” and cries of “authoritarianism,” they couldn’t be more clueless. He added: “You can’t say you’re under authoritarian rule when you’re literally being authoritarian.” Kennedy claimed...

The democrat party is old. It is a fact. Nancy Pelosi is 85 and although she is retired she still talks a lot and clearly wields some clout when not seeming drunk. Chuck Schumer is 75 years old and more and more frail in appearance. At 78 Jerry Nadler routinely falls asleep in hearings. Barack Obama says the democrat party is just too old. So, who comes next? Hakeem JeffriesHakeem Jeffries has a weird sounding voice. That might be why people have never really taken to him, and he cannot establish a gravitas about himself. I can't take him seriously....

The Super Bowl LX halftime show featuring Latin trap artist Bad Bunny was the subject of immense criticism from Americans on Sunday night. President Donald Trump called it "one of the worst ever." The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World," Trump wrote on...

Three weeks ago, my beloved San Francisco 49ers were unceremoniously dispatched from the NFL playoffs by the Seattle Seahawks, who are vying for their second Super Bowl championship today. The result didn’t surprise many; the Niners were hobbled by injuries to many of their best players and, frankly, enjoyed more than a bit of luck in getting as far as they did this past season. But every year, the Grim Reaper comes for all but one team, and my guys could not evade his grip. More alarmingly, in his new book, the writer Chuck Klosterman predicts the Reaper will soon...

Lefty actor Mark Ruffalo ripped Kevin O’Leary in a blistering tirade after the “Shark Tank” host told Billie Eilish to “shut your mouth and just entertain” as she continues to face backlash over her anti-ICE Grammys rant. “Kevin O’Leary why don’t you STFU,” the outspoken Marvel actor raged on Threads Thursday night. “You will go on any show and talk -–- about any number of things and smugly expect us to listen to you, but you will dig into a real artist that dwarfs anything you dream of doing for actually saying something that resonates with 100’s of millions of...

Roger Taylor of Queen has released a new single, titled "Chumps." Though Taylor has not made any specific comments, "Chumps" appears to be a protest song aimed at President Trump, with lyrics like "A one-man calamity, catastrophe / No trace of sanity, an empty shell." In the song's description on YouTube, Taylor has one lone quote about the song: "Gotta say something." "Chumps" brings Taylor into a fold of musicians speaking out against the current administration, and more specifically the ongoing conflict in Minneapolis, Minnesota involving federal ICE agents. Others who have released protest music include Billy Bragg ("City of...

The Grammy Awards took place last night, and — just like last year — it was less a show about music than it was an anti-ICE political demonstration. Several performers wore "ICE Out" pins, similar to those on display at the Golden Globes last month, including Billie Eilish. Eillish also called America "stolen land" and said no one is illegal. Eillish has not given up her stolen land, which was once occupied by members of the Tongva tribe. It would be hilarious if one of them sued Eillish for her property, just to see what she says. ... Bad Bunny,...

Bill Gates slept with Russian girls, got a sexually-transmitted disease and asked for antibiotics to slip to his then-wife Melinda, extraordinary new Jeffrey Epstein files from the Department of Justice allege. The late pedophile financier made the astonishing claims about the Microsoft billionaire in emails he sent to himself on July 18, 2013, at 11:49am. The lengthy message lashed out at Gates for ending their friendship and says: 'TO add insult to the injury you them (sic) implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to...

Bruce Springsteen has released a song in honor of Alex Pretti and Renee Good titled "Streets of Minneapolis." Springsteen announced the release Wednesday on Instagram.

"It's dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good." The slow-burning song builds from just acoustic guitar and voice to a fuller band tune, including a harmonica solo, and ends with chants of "ICE...

Zohran Mamdani became mayor of New York City just after midnight on Thursday, and standing by his side was his wife, Rama Duwaji - in some very pricy boots. The 34-year-old mayor took the oath of office at a historic, decommissioned subway station in Manhattan; however, his wife's stylish outfit is what has people talking. New York's First Lady, 28, wore a black knee-length skirt and a black woolen coat as they stood on the stairs of the subway station, with the artist completing the look with a pair of $630 boots.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow got some more bad news this week after she criticized her network following the firing of race-baiting host Joy Reid and the demotion of fill-in host Alex Wagner. Her criticism comes on the heels of the network revealing that Reid’s and Wagner’s shows would be canceled as part of a broader effort to revamp its programming, with weekend shows hosted by Katie Phang, Jonathan Capehart, and Ayman Mohyeldin also being scrapped. “She is leaving the network altogether and that is very, very, very hard to take. I am 51 years old,” Maddow said during a show...

In this episode of "Yawn, So What's New?"... In a predictable leftist move, "Ben & Jerry's" ice cream is hawking a "direct action" ... "against fascism" in opposition to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20. Yeah. And yawn.
