Let me remind you that Medicare and Medicaid are the entire problem space within our federal budget, and that same issue -- retiree health care costs -- are the entire issue with state and local budgets, along with private pensions. There is only one candidate from either major political party that has put forward any sort of cogent plan of any kind of deal with the Medicare and Medicaid mess -- along with the mess of health care in private industry. This, as I've written about pretty-much since The Market Ticker began publication, is the intermediate and longer-term issue that...

Ron DeSantis’ civilian-military proposal was “fascisty.” The 51-year-old comedian responded on her show “The Sarah Silverman Podcast” to attacks from people like the cohosts of “The View” and said “we’re so divided” that liberals like herself “can’t even criticize the people [on]” their “own side.” The comments were noted by Fox News in a piece published Friday. Silverman had tweeted at the MSNBC host to “Please read the article before you post this stuff you’re a news outlet. The...

Comedian and actress Sarah Silverman expressed rare criticism towards the Democratic "Squad" over their opposition to providing U.S. funding for Israel's Iron Dome defense system. Last month, progressive lawmakers were successful in stripping $1 billion allocated for the Jewish State's missile defense program from the Democrat spending bill. The funding was then voted on separately, which received overwhelming bipartisan support with the exception of Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and the "Squad" members. Notably, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., changed her vote from "no" to "present" last minute. It's frustrating because my girls, ma gurls in the Squad, um, really didn't want...

Sarah Silverman called out Hollywood’s tendency to cast non-Jewish actors to play Jewish characters, referring to the practice as “Jewface.” The comedian, 50, pointed to Kathryn Hahn as the most recent example after the Catholic-raised actress, 48, was tapped to portray the late Joan Rivers, who was Jewish, in an upcoming limited series. “There’s this long tradition of non-Jews playing Jews, and not just playing people who happen to be Jewish but people whose Jewishness is their whole being,” Silverman said in Thursday’s episode of her eponymous podcast, adding, “One could argue, for instance, that a Gentile [a non-Jew] playing...

As we near day 20 or so of coronavirus quarantine, the wailing and gnashing of liberal teeth on social media is reaching a fever pitch. Hollywood celebrities have reached new lows in their anger for the president and conservatives, with venom-filled entertainers like comedian Sarah Silverman fully admitting that they “hate” President Donald Trump and what she considers pro-Trump media. The Trump-loathing comedian told the Twitterverse that she hates the president, his advisers — like Counselor to the President of United States Kellyanne Conway — and pro-Trump media -- like Fox News Host Sean Hannity.

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders will be hosting a rally in Los Angeles on Sunday (Mar. 1), and Public Enemy is set to perform. Comedian Sarah Silverman and beloved actor Dick Van Dyke will also take part in the event. The rally comes just two days before Super Tuesday (March 3), during which the greatest number of U.S. states (California included) will hold primary elections and caucuses. Sanders has already won the New Hampshire and Nevada primaries. Public Enemy's performance comes as no surprise, as in their decades-long career, the group has often focused on political commentary and African American...

There’s nothing like a little hardcore abortion talk at a DNC debate to get Hollywood types riled up. After Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) claimed that abortion was a “human right” at the fifth DNC debate, comedian Sarah Silverman applauded her - because what’s more desirable than the idea that humans are born free to kill their own kids? Debate moderator and MSNBC pundit Rachel Maddow introduced the evening’s first question on murdering unborn children, asking the Democratic candidates how they would combat pro-life legislative efforts: “Right now, Roe vs. Wade protects a woman's right to abortion nationwide. But if Roe...

Booker promised host Wendy Williams he will buy a tasteful engagement ring for Dawson, should he propose. "She is this righteous activist," he said of Dawson. "She has a fashion line in Africa about empowering women, so whatever I...

Don’t you love when lefties slam Christians as hokey fanatics, but cling to their progressive pieties with as much reverence and zeal? Comedian and usually anti-Christian comedian Sarah Silverman tried to show social media users that she too understands the Christian perspective so long as it relates to climate change. Silverman slammed conservatives for not seeing 15-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg as the Second Coming they all profess and wondered how Christians could champion Noah’s Ark, but not see the flood (climate change) in front of their very eyes. A message to a self-avowed “agnostic” whose weak ties to...

On Saturday, following an appearance on The Daily Show by teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg, supposed comedienne and genuine leftist Sarah Silverman decided that Thunberg was the reincarnation of someone from long ago: Jesus Christ.

Is Democrat on Democrat shade is going mainstream? Probably not, but the Bill Maher/Rashida Tlaib feud is just the latest high-profile example of division within the ranks of the left, with potential ramifications involving the long-term loyalties of Jewish voters. Have Jewish liberals, who count among their rank’s notable Americans including Sarah Silverman, Bette Midler, Seth Rogan, Jon Stewart and so many other outwardly anti-Trump individuals, allowed the blind hatred they feel over the president, who has been a great ally to Israel and American Jews, to take precedence over their religious values? The issue inflaming tensions between Maher and...

We regret to inform you that Jay-Z has been canceled. No, it’s not his future ­album, or his next concert, that has been canceled — but Jay-Z, the human being. He has been axed, nixed, non-personed.

The partnership would be part entertainment and part activism and involve the NFL’s “Inspire Change” campaign, which will promote criminal-justice reform and better police-community relations. The online backlash came ­almost instantaneously. The ­anger at Jay-Z involved his support for Colin Kaepernick, the...

Turns out, some lefties do lose their jobs over blackface incidents. Sure, they’re not politicians -- the media/Democrats don’t give up power that easily. But it’s still kind of fun to see cracks in the not-as-I-do hypocrisy that protects liberals from having to live by their own ever-changing rules. Comic and progressive zealot Sarah Silverman “was recently fired from a film after producers unearthed a still of her in 2007 wearing blackface for a comedy sketch.,” reported the Guardian August 12. Silverman related the story on the The Bill Simmons Podcast, saying that, “at 11pm the night before” she was...

Actress and left-wing activist Sarah Silverman called on Israelis to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Silverman’s call was in response to a misleading tweet from Haaretz regarding Netanyahu’s declared intention to extend Israeli sovereignty over certain communities — specifically those in Area C — in the West Bank. Haaretz’s tweet made no mention of Netanyahu’s stated parameters limiting his desired annexation to Area C of the West Bank, where Israeli settlements are located.
