HBO’s cheap rent-a-clown John Oliver — whose delivery is about as funny as a tax audit — made one of the dumbest attempts to excuse a George Soros-controlled radio station unmasking undercover ICE agents conducting operations in gang-infested San Jose, California. Oliver based his reporting on alerts from the leftist Rapid Response Network, a community-based group which fights against deportation initiatives. After replaying the clip of Burkhart’s asinine report, Oliver squawked: “But, crucially: That report's also pretty basic. I.C.E. was in the community, community groups and government officials were talking about it, and local news covered it.” Oliver even jested...

Author J.K. Rowling publicly called out HBO host John Oliver for arguing that transgenders participating in women’s sports pose no threat to women and that the Democratic Party should continue advocating in its favor. In the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s stunning victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, in which he secured the popular vote on top of an Electoral College landslide, Democrats have been hosting tough conversations about the future of the party in its relations to transgender issues, specifically transgenders operating in women’s spaces, including bathrooms, locker rooms, and athletics. While Democrats like Bill Maher, Ben Dreyfuss, and...

John Oliver was visibly emotional as he gave an impassioned speech encouraging viewers to vote for Kamala Harris in the 2024 U.S. Election – adding that he wants to live in a world where Donald Trump is not an 'active threat.' Speaking on Sunday's episode of his talk show, Last Week Tonight, the British-born presenter, 47, acknowledged that while the Democratic presidential candidate did not have perfect policies he would be casting a vote for her. Oliver said: 'Elections alone aren't sufficient for large-scale change, but they're absolutely necessary for it to ever happen.

I was searching the internet for examples of electronic voting machine hacking and the history thereof and I came across this webpage, "National Election Defense Coalition". National Election Defense Coalition The webpage shows videos of hacking and discussions of the vulnerability of electronic voting machines. One video includes John Oliver admitting Trump was right. Electronic voting machines are vulnerable John Oliver: 'Trump was right. Electronic Voting machines are vulnerable' (20 mins) See RELATED below.

However, Oliver then questioned if the delays in fixing the problems had anything to do with “who’s been getting hit the hardest.” “You have to believe that if monkeypox was spreading largely through heterosexual sex things would be drastically different,” Oliver said. “It is not homophobic to acknowledge who is currently most affected, which is gay and bisexual men, sex workers, and people who participate in sex with multiple partners. What is homophobic is when you blame or shame the people who are suffering or when you decide you don’t need to care about this because you don’t see their...

John Oliver on Sunday pointed out that housing is now “the thing a 16-year-old TikTok millionaire can afford and you can’t.” (Watch the video below.) On “Last Week Tonight” the host took aim at skyrocketing rents and some of the greedy attitudes behind them.

During Sunday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight,” host John Oliver took a shot at Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R), who signed legislation into law earlier this year prohibiting doctors from performing gender-reassignment surgeries and prescribing puberty blockers and hormones to minors. Oliver lashed out at Ivey, asserting that Alabamians deserved “a lot better” than Ivey as governor. "Y’all — am I saying that right? Y’all? I don’t think I can carry that off. You are important. I can’t imagine trying to build self-esteem in childhood as your own government attempts to undermine your very existence. But you should know...

HBO’s host John Oliver launched a vitriolic and profanity-laced attack on Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) over the state’s recently passed Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act, which makes it a felony to conduct surgery or provide puberty blockers and other hormone treatments to children under the age of 19.

For some ungodly reason, John Oliver has an audience. As a comedian, that’s not really all that surprising. But his biggest audience these days seems to be people who are looking to him for news and information about how the world works, and that’s pretty mind-blowing. It’s actually disturbing, if you really stop and think about it, because he’s actively misinforming/disinforming his audience. Whether it’s because he himself is misinformed, or it’s because he’s comfortable just lying to people’s faces, it’s not something that should be celebrated. But it is being celebrated, much like radical trans activism. Which, incidentally, Oliver...

Left-wing HBO host John Oliver has dismissed calls for sending more police into schools following the deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, saying that the solution is more gun control. In Sunday’s episode of HBO’s Last Week Tonight, John Oliver launched an anti-police rant and cited a study claiming that a police presence in schools could even motivate shooters to come more heavily armed.

HBO’s Last Week Tonight host John Oliver said he’s pleased at the prospect of Disney paying more taxes in Florida but doesn’t like the fact that it was Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) who successfully brought down the hammer on the company. Oliver called DeSantis a “right-wing *******” and falsely accused the governor of being “scared” of gay people, presumably because of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law, which prohibits the teaching of sexuality and gender ideology to children in kindergarten through third grade.

Jon Stewart is struggling to gain traction on his new talk show, according to a report. “The Problem with Jon Stewart,” which launched on AppleTV+ in September, appears to be a flop, as it trails far behind its competitors on broadcast and cable TV, according to Bloomberg. The show’s first episode was seen by just 180,000 US homes in the first week it debuted last fall, measurement firm Samba TV said. That number dropped to 78% to 40,000 by its fifth episode, which aired in early March. Stewart’s comic rival John Oliver, meanwhile, pulled in viewership of 844,000 US homes...

People aren’t dumb. They’ve looked around, and they see that telling the wrong joke -- or even simply laughing at one -- is a quick way to destroy your life.Conan O’Brien did his final late night show last week, after 28 years on air. He’s stepping away at the right time. Whether you liked his comedic style or not, he really was trying to make people laugh. When was the last time you watched “The Late Show” in order to laugh? That’s a trick question — nobody who watches Stephen Colbert is laughing. Laughter is entirely beside the point; Colbert’s...

Comedian John Oliver (asides from using the fake buzzwords, showing clearly, it's out of spite), his basic line was that asymmetrical deaths. Which is as stupid as one can be. In other words, the fact that Israel was succesful in defending its citizents. Not to mention which side is seeking deaths, of both sides. In response, another comedian, Lior Schleien, asked him how many Israelis would satisfy him.... ''that’s the point. The terminology. And the symmetry. Israelis don’t die enough. We keep trying. How many Israeli casualties will satisfy you? A child, do you count it as less than one?...

See, for example, the video below of an Al-Arabiya journalist expressing shock in 2009 that Hamas fired a Grad rocket at Israel from under the building in which she was located. “They launched from under the office,” she exclaims.

After eight people were killed in the Atlanta area last week — including six women of Asian descent — Meghan McCain, cohost of “The View,” expressed regret about her previous comments that supported former President Trump’s anti-Asian rhetoric. “STOP ASIAN HATE” she tweeted Wednesday, punctuating her message with three broken-heart emojis. Thousands responded to her post with likes. But for TV host John Oliver, who opened Sunday’s “Last Week Tonight” by placing the shootings in the context of anti-Asian racism in U.S. history, McCain’s actions rang hollow.

John Oliver Celebrated for Providing Less Evidence of Tucker Carlson’s White Supremacy Than Joe Biden Has Given Proving His OwnOver the past most it has become apparent that the media, in a desperate attempt to replace Donald Trump as an inspired subject of political scorn, have settled upon Tucker Carlson as their replacement target. The primetime Fox News fixture has dominated the outrage headlines of late, over any number of ridiculous claims. Taylor Lorenz declared she was violently attacked because he spoke her name out loud on the air, and CNN recently claimed that his segment about European countries blocking...

DANBURY, Conn. (AP) — Comedian John Oliver made a secret trip to Connecticut last week to help cut the ribbon on a sign naming a sewage treatment plant in his honor. Danbury’s City Council voted earlier this month to rename the sewage plant “The John Oliver Memorial Sewer Plant,” following a tongue-in-cheek battle that began with an expletive-filled rant against the city on HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” in August. Mayor Mark Boughton responded to the attack by posting a video of himself at the sewage plant saying the city was going to name it after Oliver “because...

he promise of bloodshed coming alongside or following shortly after is an historic certainty. The symbols of a people never satisfy: People themselves must always come next. WASHINGTON, DC — For millennia, King Mob has targeted societies’ icons with varied goals and to varied ends, and few things are more foreboding than his desecration of civic art. Just as the targets have ranged from rulers to clergy, from tyrants to helpless, and from the guilty to the innocent, the outcomes have ranged from victory to defeat depending on the society’s strength and will. The promise of bloodshed coming alongside or...

President Trump warned in 2017 that statues of U.S. Founding Fathers such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson might someday be removed -- three years ahead of attacks on such statues this month. Back then, "Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver mocked the president for his grim prediction. “So this week it's Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson is coming down,” Trump said at an August 2017 news conference on the protests that year in Charlottsville, Va., that sparked from the plans to remove some Confederate statues.
