Making good on her promise to take her environmental activism back to Los Angeles when she closed up shop in Washington, D.C., Jane Fonda and friends held a Fire Drill Fridays rally and march Friday. Her friends included actor Joaquin Phoenix who is creating headlines of his own recently for his outspoken climate alarmism. She is still wearing the red coat. Fonda is back home in Los Angeles to film Netflix’s Grace and Frankie. She was arrested a few times in Washington, though not enough arrests to garner a longer than an overnight stay in jail because of her filming...

Woke critics worry about the film’s sympathetic depiction of a mass murderer, but their real beef is with its indictment of moral relativism. What does woke media have against “Joker”?When it premiered at the Venice Film Festival last month, Time magazine’s Stephanie Zacharek slammed the film for a supposedly sympathetic portrayal of its protagonist, who could “easily be adopted as the patron saint of incels.” A flood of similar comments followed from critics who worried its morally ambiguous depiction of a psychotic mass murderer would incite real-world violence—that lonely and alienated young men would, like the riotous mobs in the...

Muhammad is the Clown Prince of Prophecy. The Joker is the Clown Prince of Crime. What happens when Prophet Muhammad meets the Ace of Knaves? Find out in the latest installment of "Muhammad's Boom-Boom Room," starring Vocab Malone as Muhammad and David Wood as the one and only Joker.

VIDEO The weird thing when you see these pictures is that Creepy Joe Biden actually looks more like The Joker than The Joker.

It’s no joke: Alec Baldwin at the last minute has dropped out of Todd Phillips’ The Joker movie at Warner Bros. In an interview with USA Today just days after taking the supporting role, the 30 Rock actor cited scheduling conflicts. Production begins September 10 for the DC title, and we hear that the talks went down to the five-yard line, given how close it is to cameras rolling. Warner Bros. had no comment. Baldwin was to play Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne’s father. “I’m sure there are 25 guys who can play that part,” the actor told USA Today, The...

In a rather appalling move, DC Comics is holding a talent search for artists that requires the entrants to draw DC character Harley Quinn in various suicidal tableaus, one of which is also naked. Here are the panel submission requirements: PANEL 1 Harley is on top of a building, holding a large DETACHED cellphone tower in her hands as lightning is striking just about everywhere except her tower. She is looking at us like she cannot believe what she is doing. Beside herself. Not happy. PANEL 2 Harley is sitting in an alligator pond, on a little island with a...

Thomas Buch-Andersen, host of Detektor from Denmark, has done an analysis of Obama’s press conferences with different world leaders, starting with his own country’s leader, Prime Minister Thorning-Schmidt. What he found is that Obama has used the same language, “x country is our closest and strongest ally”, with every country. Which means, none of them are. Ugh. This just makes me hold my head down in embarrassment.

I said yesterday it wouldn’t be long before Obama’s Jokers posters started popping up across the country.First, Claire McCaskill.Now, Nebraskans have Jokerized Ben Nelson. (Or rather, he Jokerized himself, didn’t he?)Reader Tim e-mails the photos and this message:“Saw this in small town Nebraska today less than 50 miles from Ben Nelson’s home town. This is pretty surprising to me because this is strictly an agricultural area. Nelson has consistently catered to the agricultural interests in Nebraska and so is pretty popular among the farmers and ranchers in the area. Federal subsidies are a huge percentage of area farm income. But...

RICHMOND, Va. - The NAACP (web | news) says it's planning to protest a mural depicting President Barack Obama (web | news | bio) as the Joker from Batman on the side of a Richmond strip club. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People says its state conference, Virginia Commonwealth and Virginia Union college chapters plan to hold a news conference at noon Monday at 15th and Main in Richmond to express their outrage. The organization says it will address the community's reaction to the mural and ongoing racial hostility.

Artist Shepard Fairey, whose iconic HOPE campaign poster of Barack Obama was a global sensation, is back with a new image that both questions and deifies the President. Appearing on the cover of the Aug. 20 Rolling Stone, the portrait depicts Obama with a brow knit in determination, surrounded by a halo of stars. "Will he take bold action or compromise too easily?" asks a headline enshrining the President's head. Fairey said it wasn't meant to be a halo. Rather, the picture he worked from showed Obama standing in front of the presidential seal, he said. "It's one thing to...

President Barack Obama to me: This is the moment our movement was built for. For one month, the fight for health insurance reform leaves the backrooms of Washington, D.C., and returns to communities across America. Throughout August, members of Congress are back home, where the hands they shake and the voices they hear will not belong to lobbyists, but to people like you. Home is where we're strongest. We didn't win last year's election together at a committee hearing in D.C. We won it on the doorsteps and the phone lines, at the softball games and the town meetings, and...

Shocking absolutely shocking that someone would depict the president as demonic and a Nazi but that’s exactly what the Mainstream media and Liberals did to George W. Bush for 8 straight years. So when Barack Hussein Obama is depicted as the same psychopathic deranged fictional nemesis of the Batman why would anyone fret? We’ve seen it all before. (see story) I do like Rush Limbaugh’s take on the insight behind the combining the images of Obama and the Joker. Limbaugh said on his show yesterday:

In the realm of street art, the posters portraying President Barack Obama as the Joker, as played by the late Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, aren't high art. They aren't like the iconic images of "Hope'' that sprouted during the Obama camapign. But then, these are the post-campaign portraits of discontent in some quarters. And, like their predecessors, the newest posters are becoming an Internet sensation among those for whom a picture is worth 1,000 words--or one word, in the case of this poster campaign: "socialism." Looking at the anonymously created posters that started on the streets of L.A....

A poster depicting Barack Obama as Batman villain The Joker has been called 'mean-spirited and dangerous' by the U.S. President's supporters. The image, which has been adopted by Mr Obama's critics, shows him wearing the white face paint and smudged red lips of the character most recently played by the late actor Heath Ledger. Beneath the picture reads the word 'socialism'. The creator of the image remains unknown, but the website that first published the image crashed yesterday because so many had been attempting to view it. It has since been spotted in Los Angeles and Atlanta after it appeared...

The Corner is reporting that John Kerry will hold a news conference at 2PM to discuss his recent comment.

Can someone please put the picture of Hillary on the front page of the Drudge Report here so everyone will see what I'm talking about? THis is very important. Look at the curl of her smile. She is either the Grintch who stole Christmas or The Joker. In either case, this is serious..... ;)
