It sounded like Joe Biden’s funeral on CNN last night. Immediately after the debate, I expected CNN’s panel of Democratic handmaidens to begin their usual contortions on how Biden is fit and spry. Instead, there seemed to be unanimous agreement: this is not the Joe Biden we know and love, not a man fit to take on Donald Trump and the rising specter of fascism, and there’s only one question that remains. In the words of their spiritual forebear, Vladimir Lenin: What Is To Be Done? It now seems likely that Biden is toast. We saw elite opinion shift and...

The Disney Tapes* James O’Keefe strikes again! O’Keefe Media Group on Thursday released an undercover video of the Senior Vice President at The Walt Disney Company detailing discriminatory hiring practices. The senior VP told OMG’s undercover journalist that Disney is not considering any white men for the job. “Nobody else is going to tell you this, but they’re not considering any white males for the job,” says Michael Giordano, a Vice President of Business affairs, “there’s no way we’re hiring a white male.” Giordano revealed Disney uses “code words and buzzwords” to avoid legal action and even mentions a candidate...

"Superstar comedian Jerry Seinfeld is about to fly into a storm in Australia with pro-Palestine protestors threatening to disrupt his stand-up shows." reports Australia's Seven Network's tv news. "His support of what he describes as his Jewish homeland has attracted condemnation from Palestinian supporters ..... some claiming he is a genocide supporter. Melbourne's Jewish community is concerned ...... 'They are tearing to shreds Melbourne's reputation as an open and welcoming city. This insanity has to stop.' "

Political director of ABC News George Stephanopoulos characterized live TV interviews of former President Donald Trump as "journalistic malpractice. You are allowing Trump's words to flow directly to the TV viewer. There is no opportunity to selectively edit the content in order to ensure that the correct message is conveyed." "We are within a few months of an election that could overturn of our hard won victory over Trump in the 2020 election," the former Clinton apologist pointed out. "It is essential that we control the narrative. We can't do that if viewers can see and hear Trump for themselves...

There is something of a subculture on YouTube of armchair analysts and commentators, WDW Pro, Valliant Renegade, and ClownfishTV, to name just three (beyond traditional financial websites like CNBC and Seeking Alpha), who track every cultural, corporate, programming, and financial move of The Walt Disney Company, previously one of America’s most iconic and trusted companies. Note: I used the past tense in describing The Walt Disney Company. It is no longer one of America’s most trusted brands, and it’s about to lose its iconic status.How did this happen?On May 7, 2024, in the wake of its successful battle to keep...

On April 8, 2017, a few months before Louis CK’s career went off a cliff, he hosted Saturday Night Live for the fourth and probably final time. He did a pretty good monologue, starting each chunk of jokes with an edgy take but then winning over the crowd. It was good. It was Louis CK. (I think I remember The Chainsmokers? I don’t think I remember The Chainsmokers.) Early 2017 was a really good time to be that guy. His critically acclaimed FX series Louie had brought his comedy to a wider audience. He’d won several Emmys, a few Grammys,...

Last night’s live taping of Kamala Harris’ appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live descended into chaos as members of the left-wing activist group CODEPINK and a coalition of far-left activists disrupted the show. CODEPINK, known for its radical opposition to U.S. military interventions and advocacy for social justice, joined forces with groups like Chino Valley for Palestinian Liberation, Pasadena for Palestine, and autonomous residents of Los Angeles to stage their protest. Their message was clear: there can be no business as usual during what they term a “genocide in Gaza.” Security personnel preemptively identified and removed a number of activists before...

The voyages of the Starship Enterprise came to a sudden and premature end on June 3, 1969, with the airing of the final episode of the Star Trek original television series. Ironically, the show’s cancellation came just six weeks before humanity embarked on its first voyage to land on another celestial body. Although the show ran for only three seasons, it generated a devoted fan base disappointed by the cancellation despite their write-in campaign to keep it on the air. But as things turned out, over the decades Star Trek evolved into a global phenomenon, first with the original episodes...

Hitler is Informed Trump has been found guilty in Hush-Money Trial.

VIDEOThere is currently a lot of debate about if AI is a dangerous threat or not. One way to possibly find out if AI is a threat is to ask AI to do a film review about "Colossus: The Forbin Project," a 1970 film about the dangers of AI. The weird thing is that this film can't be found in its entirety on the Web. Is it being suppressed and if so, by who? In this video, AI Sophie does briefly discuss "Colossus: The Forbin Project" but I believe we might be better able to find out the intentions of...

Meanwhile in the Democrat hellhole of Los Angeles… General Hospital soap actor Johnny Wactor, 37, was shot and killed Saturday morning in downtown Los Angeles during a robbery. According to reports, Johnny Wactor interrupted three thieves trying to steal the catalytic converter from his car. Wactor’s mother Scarlett told TMZ that her son did not try to fight the thieves because he initially thought his car was being towed but they fatally shot him anyway. The three assailants fled the scene in a vehicle.

A remake of the 1960s cult classic Barbarella is currently in the works with Sydney Sweeney set to star, and there are already a ton of exciting updates about the new movie. Based on the French comic series by artist Jean-Claude Forest, 1968's Barbarella stars Jane Fonda as the titular space traveler who is dispatched on a dangerous mission to find the evil scientist Durand Durand who has created a weapon that could destroy all humanity. Though not as famous as contemporaries like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Barbarella helped shape the face of science fiction for decades to come.

This YouTube Playlist has a whole bunch of episodes of the 80s children’s TV show “You Can’t Do That On Television.” I’d be very curious to see how today’s generation of woke college students would react to this show.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz5LnpOWjHYQsSMPRGf-pcS2dKDqlMqC_

Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi unveiled “The Apprentice” at the Cannes film festival on Monday. The film is about Donald Trump’s rise to one of the most successful ‘winners’ in the New York real estate game. One scene shows Trump raping his wife Ivanna. Another shows Trump popping amphetamine pills and getting liposuction. The ghouls at the Cannes Film Festival gave an 8-minute standing ovation. ““The Apprentice,” the story of the 45th and possibly 47th president’s early years as a real estate developer, earned a eight-minute standing ovation on Monday. It’s probably safe to assume that the film festival crowd isn’t...

Since 1976, every four years, the presidential nominees of the Republican and Democratic parties have met for televised debates. Usually, these debates are highly anticipated and attract impressive ratings. The largest viewing audience for a presidential debate was the first 2016 encounter between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. It drew an incredible eighty-four million viewers. Of course, the problem with most of these debates is that liberal “journalists” masqueraded as impartial moderators. Thus, previous presidential debate moderators have included Lester Holt of NBC News, Gwen Ifill of PBS, Martha Raddatz of ABC News, Anderson Cooper of CNN, and Kristen Welker...

Over the course of my lifetime these are some of the film makers I have revered: Charlie Chaplin (more for his silent features than his talkies) and Shirley Temple, (both as a child and adult for the former and as a child only for the latter), Woody Allen (when i was a tertiary student in the 1970's and 1980's but less so now) Steve Bochco, primarily for the reinvention of what television can do through Hill Street Blues and Shawn Ryan and Micheal Ciklis for The Shield which I consider an even better drama than HSB and the best thing...

Why can’t singers just sing, and actors just act? Why do they always have to enter the realm of politics? It is an area very few celebrities are knowledgeable about and most just spew ridiculous left-wing talking points. Sadly, almost all the top Hollywood celebrities and rock stars are progressive fools. A perfect example is 80-year-old actor Robert De Niro, a highly acclaimed film star with a career that has spanned decades. For most of his career, he did not have a reputation as a far-left fanatic like Jane Fonda or Barbara Streisand. However, all of that changed with the...

‘The View’ co-host Whoopi Goldberg expressed anger over former president Donald Trump’s pointing out that there is an “anti-white feeling in America.” Goldberg made it clear she was enraged by Trump’s claims as she angrily glared at the camera. “This is my favorite, and I’m gonna tell you before I say it that it enraged me,” she said before going on to quote Trump – “There is a definite anti-white feeling in the country right now.” Watch VIDEO AT LINK.................. Trump pointed out that there is indeed racism in America, and it is not confined to just one race, as...

I am warming up to watch the documentary Rather, celebrating the career of the disgraced former CBS News anchor. It is to be aired this coming Wednesday on Netflix. Apparently having access to a screener for media critics, the Star Tribune’s Neal Justin found the documentary to be wanting (“when it comes to the stumbles, like walking off the set when a tennis match went long, the legendary broadcaster goes missing”). Speaking of “stumbles,” we have the matter of Rathergate. However, “stumble” doesn’t quite capture it. “Disgrace,” “disaster,” and “fraud” are more like it. Award-winning CBS News producer Mary Mapes...
