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. "I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis," Springsteen said. "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...

The last decade or so of American politics has inspired a lot of political statements from the people of Hollywood, who are pretty clearly as freaked out by what feel like ongoing and inexorable shifts toward both national and global authoritarianism as the rest of us. But few have been as blunt about it as Giancarlo Esposito was this week, stepping up on his soapbox at the Sundance Film Festival and declaring, “This is time for a revolution—and they don’t even know that’s what they’re starting.” Esposito, at the festival to promote his new Jon Turturro movie The Only Living...

Graham Nash, Neal Schon, Tom Morello and other rock stars took to social media to react to a Border Patrol agent fatally shooting 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday. You can see their reactions below. What Happened to Alex Pretti? On Saturday, federal agents in Minneapolis fatally shot killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse who appeared to be using his phone to record U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers. Videos show agents pinning Pretti to the ground and hitting him, and one officer leaving with what appears to be a gun. These videos appear to contradict claims...

Hollywood elitist and longtime Democrat activist George Clooney has officially joined the growing list of wealthy, left-wing celebrities who preach “American values” while quietly distancing themselves from the United States.

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. As reported by the Post Millennial on Thursday, the notoriously radical left-wing company is working to organize participation in a "People's March" on January 18 in Washington, D.C., along with other locations across the fruited plain. The company's latest newsletter encouraged its customers to protest and "dissent" against Trump's soon-to-be presidency. Post Millennial Senior Editor Andy Ngo posted a reminder on...

Greta Thunberg has been twice detained at protests in Oslo over an onshore wind farm which she and activists say hinders the rights of the Sami indigenous people to raise reindeer in Arctic Norway. The 20-year-old Swedish environmental campaigner and hundreds of other demonstrators say a transition to green energy should not come at the expense of indigenous rights and have been demanding the removal of 151 wind turbines from land used by Sami herders. "We want to make it very clear that it is the Norwegian state that is committing the real crime here, for violating human rights," she...

OSLO (Reuters) -Environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg and dozens of other activists on Monday blocked entrances to Norway's energy ministry, protesting against wind turbines built on land traditionally used by indigenous Sami reindeer herders. Thunberg, a vocal advocate for the ending the world's reliance on carbon-based power, said the transition to green energy could not come at the expense of indigenous rights. "Indigenous rights, human rights, must go hand-in-hand with climate protection and climate action. That can't happen at the expense of some people. Then it is not climate justice," Thunberg told Reuters while sitting outside the ministry's main entrance with...

On Jan. 30, the affluent town of Hillsborough held a city council meeting to discuss its floundering housing element plan. The plan, which lays out how towns and neighborhoods will meet state-mandated housing targets within eight years, was supposed to be submitted to California’s Department of Housing and Community Development by Feb. 1. It wasn’t. And it remains in limbo more than a week later. More troublingly, a Hillsborough resident proposed a loophole that’s been popping up in other affluent Bay Area towns trying to meet their housing requirements: build a segregated development specifically for developmentally disabled adults, thus preventing...

When progressives can’t pass their agenda through the front door in Congress, they sneak it through a regulatory back window. That’s what the Biden Administration is doing with gas stoves, as the Energy Department this week proposed new rules that amount to a gradual de facto ban. A Biden appointee on the Consumer Product Safety Commission ignited a firestorm last month by threatening to ban gas stoves. After criticism from West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin and others, the CPSC chairman rejected the idea, and White House officials said they didn’t support banning gas stoves. Then why has the Energy Department...
