This practice in the media of journalists needing to find a racial problem in society is becoming more than comical; it is bordering on pathological. It feels like an internal memo went out declaring that every member of the press has to come up with at least one systemic racist example by a deadline. How else to explain the dolts who see racism in crosswalk signs, or declare that front lawns at homes are inspired by supremacy. They even declare there is racism within the robot community; somehow the bias towards skin color involves machines which do not have skin....

Black Lives Matter isn’t interested in fighting actual racism. But it is interested in whether you support its agenda—and getting you fired if you don’t. There will be no opting out of the Black Lives Matter movement. You’re either for BLM or against it—and if you’re against it, you’re a racist. You will either support BLM publicly and enthusiastically, or you will be harassed, shunned, and shamed out of mainstream America. If you dare to speak a word against BLM, you will be targeted, mobbed, and probably fired.That’s the message coming through loud and clear, not just from protesters but...

Img src=https://thefederalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Ron-Burgundy-998x716.png> the mainstream media’s ranks are populated by biased hacks who don’t care half as much about reporting accurately on the Wuhan coronavirus as they care about making Trump seem like a racist. Yesterday, amid the ongoing economic and social disruptions caused by the coronavirus, rising numbers of infections and deaths globally, and widespread closures of schools and other extreme measures imposed across the country, the mainstream media decided we should have a national debate about whether it’s racist for President Trump to call it the “Chinese virus.”In what can only be described as a moment of unconscious self-parody,...

Well that didn't take long. The venom and hatred from the far-left and the mainstream media for anything that challenges their beliefs is shockingly predictable. They just can’t stand it when a movie, book, play, or any other form of entertainment doesn’t conform to their Hollywood culture. They really, really hate it if the piece of art is the truth or based on a true story. That's why they hate my play FBI Lovebirds: UnderCovers and the fact it is going to be on the main stage at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Feb 27th. It is...

We are fast approaching the end of 2019, and as we close the book on a turbulent decade, nothing summarizes the state of our culture and our unhealthy relationship with contrived outrage quite like the Peloton ad controversy and the wave of hysteria that has followed in its wake. Imagine if we could channel that outrage instead into addressing our nation's obesity crisis. If you are not familiar with the ad or simply cannot believe that America -- land of the free, home of the brave -- is full of adults who are distressed over an exercise bike, a quick...

The audition date was set. On Dec. 4, students at Alexander Hamilton High School in Elmsford, N.Y., would have the chance to flaunt their vocal chops with the hopes of landing a role in the drama club’s highly anticipated spring musical: Disney’s “Tarzan.” But just days before the scheduled tryouts, administrators announced a change of plans. Instead of “Tarzan,” the Westchester County high school would be putting on a musical adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” The reason for the abrupt change? Two parents complained about racism. “The concerns were over the original story line behind ‘Tarzan of the Apes,’...
