The New York Times ran a lengthy hit piece, titled, “Inside Ron DeSantis’s Politicized Removal of an Elected Prosecutor,” that demonstrates how fearful Democrats are of his appeal in an era when crime is on the mind of so many voters. So potent is the crime issue that President Biden and a significant number Congressional Democrats are overriding a soft-on-crime law passed the by the DC City Council over the veto of the District’s Mayor Muriel Bowser. Only a deep fear of voters’ wrath over spiraling crime would motivate these Democrats to anger their SJW pro-crime base. Thus, it fell...

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis might have shown his hand regarding a potential run for president next year. DeSantis has been mum about seeking the Republican Party nomination. Thus far, only two candidates have entered the race with former President Donald Trump. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was joined in the primary by anti-woke tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy on Wednesday. DeSantis is widely considered a contender despite the fact that he has not announced any intention to run. Trump has preemptively taken on the Florida governor at rallies and in posts on Truth Social. He has also given his...

One of the more bizarre January 6 cases delved further into the peculiar when an accused Capitol rioter who was arrested while touring in a Broadway production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" earlier this month attended his first court hearing on Monday. James Beeks, an actor who was playing Judas in the musical production, was arrested in Milwaukee last week on charges related to the Capitol riot after investigators attended two performances of the show to find him... ...The actor's antics irritated Chief Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC, when he declined to represent himself, saying,...

No matter how much God uses a man or woman and no matter how anointed and gifted they may be, we must always remember that there are no superstars in God’s kingdom. There is only one shining star, and His name is Jesus. Everyone else, no matter how “great” they may be in the eyes of people, is merely a servant. Of course, many believers, in their immaturity and carnality, idolize and glorify the instruments God uses. That is a shame, but not a surprise (although after a wonderful piano concert, people have the common sense to praise the pianist,...

I was a junior high schooler growing up in the Bible Belt when I first heard the concept album “Jesus Christ Superstar.” The retelling of the events leading up to the crucifixion of the Son of God Christ made a household name of the then-22 year old composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and – slightly lesser so – 26 year old lyricist Tim Rice. Tonight, NBC is presenting “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert.” This Easter production stars, among others, John Legend, the Academy Award winner and 10-time Grammy Award winner, as Jesus and Alice Cooper, the son of a Christian...

Decades of debauchery have finally caught up with one of Hollywood’s top megastars. In a bombshell world exclusive, RadarOnline.com can reveal that a bad-boy Tinseltown star has been hiding an explosive secret from the world: He is HIV-positive. Multiple informed sources confirm the world-famous actor, whom Radar has chosen not to identify, has been diagnosed with the deadly virus that usually leads to AIDS itself. The middle-aged star learned at least two years ago that he had contracted HIV — but he has desperately hidden it from the world, terrified his fans will turn against him.

I like to follow some of the more egregious examples of Obama superstardom, as I have here, here, and here. In this fourth installment, we see a furor in Indonesia, over a new "Obama" snack. The anger is because people think that the manufacturers are cynically using Obama's image to make money. Doubtless they are. But why, do you suppose, the same people angry about the blatant use of his image to sell candy don't get so exorcised over someone blatantly using their perceived racial status to sell socialism

Remember when you were a kid and you used to wait for the new Topps cards to come out every year? Remember begging Mom to buy you a pack of the cards with the stick of gum inside? Every year they had football player cards, and baseball cards, and basketball cards, and the politician cards. Oh wait, scratch that last one. Come to think of it, I don't recall any Carter or Reagan cards when I was a boy. Now Topps is jumping on the Obama Superstar bandwagon and releasing fanboi photocards of the Obama pre-presidency. Obama's rookie season cards...

As Ludacris knows, no rap album is complete these days without a tribute to Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama. Thus, the rapper included his ode to Obama, dubbed “Politics,” on his new mixtape with DJ Drama, The Preview. Luda claims that he’s both one of Obama’s favorite rapper and on the candidate’s iPod, so that’s good for a presidential pardon if he’s “ever in the slammer.” In our interview with Barack Obama, Obama admitted that he knows Ludacris, say maybe he’ll take Luda seriously when he lobbies for the role of Vice President in the song. Ludacris also demands “Get...

Awake by the lake By Dan Wetzel, Yahoo! Sports June 4, 2007 CLEVELAND – A couple of years ago Jack Blake, now 12, had reached the age when boys begin having questions about exactly how and why things work. So his father, Kevin, had to sit him down and have "The Talk." "Part of the parenting process in Cleveland is to express to children the history of losing here," Kevin said. "You have to let them know." Yeah, forget the birds and the bees. In Northeast Ohio, first you have to explain the Cleveland Cavaliers, Indians and Browns; namely why...

(Snip) Pittsburgh Steelers officials warned quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in writing last year that he might jeopardize portions of his contract, and could suffer financial implications, if he continued to ride a motorcycle. League and team officials confirmed for ESPN.com on Tuesday night that the Steelers last year sent a letter to Roethlisberger's representatives stating their concerns and the possibility his contract could be affected if he was injured while riding a motorcycle. Agent Leigh Steinberg confirmed for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the Steelers sent such a letter. It is believed the letter was intended to serve dual purposes: To apprise...

March 17, 2006 Hollywood, California As most of you know, Scooter had gone from a regular guy to superstar literally overnight. After shacking-up with the well-known producer who gave him his first major film role in the gay cowboy film, "Home On The Strange," Scooter then went on to a series of gay and straight relationships with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. I couldn't pick up a tabloid without seeing his face on the cover with his love-interest-of-the-moment. In no time, Scooter was commanding tens of millions of dollars a film and his name was on the lips...

The Palestinian Authority has declared a week of solidarity with a young singer from the West Bank who is participating in this year's Superstar television show, the Arabic version of the popular British show Pop Idol and the American Star Search. The move has enraged some Palestinians who say there is no room for entertainment when Israel is continuing its military operations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Huge screens will be placed in the main squares in Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Gaza City to encourage the people to support Ammar Hassan, a singer from the West Bank who is...
