In case you were dreaming of a second season on Showtime’s series ‘First Ladies,’ you can kiss those dreams good-bye, as the streaming service has cancelled the show after just one season amid awful reviews on the show’s story structure, flow, composition, and acting. Showtime launched the 10-part anthology just six weeks ago, but ‘First Ladies’ failed to gain an audience despite its illustrious cast. The first and now only season focuses on the stories of three former first ladies: Eleanor Roosevelt, played by Gillian Anderson, Betty Ford, played by actress Michelle Pfeiffer, and Michelle Obama, played by Viola Davis.…

Not even Queen Bey is immune from the fire and brimstone of the woke police. Disability advocates have come after pop goddess and singer Beyoncé for her use of the word “spazz” in the lyrics to the song “Heated,” which features on her new album “Renaissance.” According to social media devotees, “spazz” is considered a derogatory word against people with cerebral palsy, a derivative of the word “spastic,” in the United Kingdom. In the United States, however, the word doesn’t possess that connotation, and it is used to describe someone who has let loose, is free of inhibitions, or has…
Pop princess and all-around nice girl Taylor Swift is on climate activists and annoying woke people’s bad list for the crime of flying, daring to use her private jet for 170 flights just this year. Apparently Swift is the worst celebrity ‘gross polluter’ according to some woke finger wagging marketing agency called Yard who published its report on “worst private jet Co2 emissions.” The Yard report tallied not only the number of flights Swift has taken in 2022 but also the number of minutes in the air. According to their research the crossover singer was in the air for 22,923…
He’s considered to be a “saint” by some, someone whose words are gospel for we mere mortals, and now he’s been knighted an “American Master” according to PBS who are putting the final touches on a documentary spanning 14-months of his life and work. Who is he? Why none other than National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director Dr. Anthony Fauci, whom PBS deemed interesting enough to warrant a documentary which will debut on both television and movie theatres in spring 2023 as part of the “American Masters” showcase. The vomit-inducing title, “Tony – A Year in the…
Yep, we’re still talking about it. And that’s because there’s a new development in the case of the “slap heard ’round the world,” as Will Smith has come out to publicly discuss on camera the time he slapped actor and comedian Chris Rock on the face live at the Oscars for all the world to watch, and rewatch, weeks and now months later. And, boy, does he want us all to know how sorry he is. Smith posted his video “mea culpa” on Facebook, gushing shame and remorse, while answering questions from fans about the slap. In case you have…
The iconic Los Angeles bridge featured in such films as “Grease” and “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” deteriorated to the point that it had to be replaced, but the new bridge in its spot has been shut down four times in five days after people continue to use it as their own backdrop for TikTok videos, drag racing, graffiti and other crazy stunts for social media. The new Sixth Street Bridge cost the City of Angeles almost $600 million and six years to construct it and opened July 10 only to be plagued with criminal activity and social media stunts to…
A grandmother of five was viciously assaulted by two teenaged girls in what’s being called an “anti-white” attack on an MTA bus earlier this month in New York City. The two teens, 15 and 16, will be charged with a hate crime in addition to the assault and aggravated harassment charges, and police are still searching for a third suspect. The 57-year-old victim, Jill LeCroix, was bloodied enough to require three staples to her head, according to the police report. While LeCroix was riding the bus three female assailants approached her and struck her on the head with an unknown…
While leftist politics and woke values continue to overtake just about every institution in the United States, there are some bright spots, the most recent coming in the form of an anti-woke song with an ironic title. Country star John Rich released “Progress,” which reached the No. 1 spot on iTunes’ country music chart after the singer promoted the single on Truth Social, President Trump’s social media platform. The song, said Rich, is “my message to the tyrants running our country into the ground,” a response to Sleepy Joe’s calamitous policies rendering the United States into something akin to a developing country.…
If you were to capture the essence of today’s Disney through deranged performance art, it might look like the latest brawl caught on video at what was once the happiest place on earth. Earlier this week two families engaged in an extended physical altercation at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida. Family members from each side threw punches, kicked those who fell on the ground, and dragged others down to the hot asphalt while shouting profanities in full view of other families with children. Adding to the deranged vision, the area where the brawl took place is called Fantasyland.…
An Israeli journalist who was in Saudi Arabia covering President Brandon’s visit to the oil-rich nation provoked an uproar after he sneaked into Mecca, which is banned to non-Muslims, to film the Haj pilgrimage. The violation was discovered after one of Israel’s main news stations aired a video segment of him and a guide inside Islam’s holiest city. Journalist Gil Tamary, who works for Israel’s Channel 13, angered many in the Muslim world, especially in Saudi Arabia, forcing apologies from Israel. In the video, Tamary exlaims, “I am the first Israeli journalist on the spot to broadcast these images and…
The woke mob still reigns supreme in Minneapolis as it succeeded in getting comedian Dave Chappelle’s show cancelled at the famed First Avenue concert venue just hours before he was scheduled to perform. The leftist outcry stems from Chappelle’s Netflix comedy special “The Closer,” that the mob claims Chappelle disrespected trans people by joking about them. As reported by Breitbart, industry rag “Variety” said that First Avenue was inundated with complaints via social media, and as such felt compelled to cancel the show. In a statement announcing the cancellation, First Avenue said that it “lost sight of the impact” Dave…
Let’s imagine you wake up to a beautiful morning and think to yourself, “There’s nothing that could possibly shock me today because I have heard it all.” I’d hate to break to you, but you would be wrong. Case in point: A Michigan woman tried to sue a man she met on a dating app for a “bad date,” claiming he stood her up and that she deserved $10,000 for the distress it caused. She was owed the money, she said, because the date, which turned out to be bad, fell on her late mother’s birthday. QaShontae Short filed a…
In the latest “no this is not a Babylon Bee” article, Breitbart reports that a Canadian academic tweeted a series of tweets aimed at anthropologists whom she said should stop identifying human reamins as “male” or “female” as scientists don’t know how ancient individuals identified themselves. Canadian Master’s degree candidate Emma Palladino said that transgender individuals “can’t escape” their sex because archaeologists who find their bones one day “will assign you the same gender as you had at birth,” rather than acknowledging that it’s physically impossible to change one’s sex. The first of Palladino’s tweet reads: “My trans+non-binary friends: You…
Life for Netflix just keeps getting worse. This week the woke lefty streaming service announced that it lost 1 million subscribers in the second quarter, the largest quarterly loss of customers in the company’s history. But, because the bad news wasn’t the bad news investors had expected, Netflix shares rose more than 10 percent in after-hours trading. As Breitbart reports, Netflix reported 970,000 customers quit the service during the quarter, a continuation of the mass subscriber exodus that began earlier this year. Netflix had forecast a net loss of 2 million subscribers for the second quarter, while analysts were expecting a loss…
Actress Melinna Bobadilla (who?), one of the cast members on the Netflix series “Gentefied” and “Orange Is the New Black,” claims she was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight after defending a woman whom she says was being “slut shamed” by a flight attendant for her revealing clothing. Bobadilla tweeted: “Hey friends just got pulled off a @SouthwestAir flight [because] I advocated for a young woman being shamed and harassed by an employee for wearing a tank top that was deemed too revealing.” She added that the employee “became defensive when I asked about what rules the young woman was breaking.” The…
The release of a new non-woke comic book has shaken up the social media world in its quest to counter progressive storylines and has raised almost $2M in its first week of pre-orders for a book that won’t ship until August. Eric July, musician, writer, content creator and professed “comic book lifer,” officially launched his first comic book “Isom #1” through his publishing company Rippaverse, and it’s received both praise and derision from comic book fans and those who never read them. Those who object to the new comic book accuse July of codifying in comic book-form a “hate group,”…
When one thinks of old Hollywood, inevitably an image of Marilyn Monroe comes to mind. The ‘blonde bombshell’ lit up the screen and skyrocketed to fame to become one of the most famous and heralded actresses of not only of her time but even ours today. Books, feature films, and documentaries are still being made about her life, and mysterious death, and the latest documentary, “The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes,” now available on Netflix, explores the behind-the-scenes life of Marilyn Monroe – née Norma Jean Mortenson – through interviews conducted with those who knew her. Monroe was…
Prince Harry is set to address the United Nations in New York City next week, and wife Meghan Markle will be by his side as part of Nelson Mandela Day. The Duke of Sussex is scheduled to speak in front of an informal General Assembly gathering, marking his and Meghan’s first public appearance since last month’s Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. What is Harry going to talk about? It could be a myriad of topics from climate change to world hunger, according to a report published by the UK’s Daily Mail. Harry’s words are expected to echo this year’s Nelson Mandela…
Novelist and repeated lie-tweeter, Stephen King, has publicly apologized for his recent tweet about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in which he said that the Sunshine State Governor signed a bill requiring Florida students and professors to register their political views with the state. The false claim appears to have come from an article on far-left Salon last year but only recently went viral, and King decided to tweet about it without first checking the article’s veracity. King’s “sorry, not sorry” apology reads: “I regret having posted the headline without being more confident the story was correct. Salon is usually more…
Potsie’s playing politics. Actor, singer and director Anson Williams, famous for playing the dimwitted yet eternally positive Warren ‘Potsie’ Weber on TV’s ‘Happy Days,’ is expanding his talents to the political arena and is hoping to become the next mayor of a California spa town. In a recent city council meeting in Ojai, California, Williams announced his candidacy for mayor of the small city just west of Santa Barbara, according to local outlet the Ojai Valley News as reported by FoxNews. During the council meeting’s public comment period, Williams, 72, stood up to speak and called for “leadership that inspires…
A television anchorman in India was arrested for allegedly spreading “fake news” by misquoting opposition leader Rahul Gandhi who had commented on student demonstrators targeting his home for vandalism. Rohit Ranjan of India’s Zee News was taken in by police, but not before he had had the opportunity to actually watch his own arrest unfold and post about it on social media. In a comic “Keystones Cops” moment, local authorities had tried to arrest Ranhan, but because they hadn’t informed Uttar Pradesh provincial authorities of the intention to arrest beforehand, they were prevented from actually going forward, and everything was…
Will Hollywood ever get it? The latest movie in the Despicable Me franchise earned over $110 million in just three days, resoundly beating Lightyear, the latest release in the Toy Story franchise which has come under fire for its depiction of a same-sex kiss in a movie whose main audience is children. Lightyear, a meta-story within the larger Toy Story tale, grossed less than $107 million in three weeks. Breitbart’s John Nolte puts it succinctly: We now have a perfect dollar-to-dollar comparison to prove how much Americans hate Hollywood’s fascist woketardery. Minions: The Rise of Gru is not only the fifth…
In a brazen attack in broad daylight, a group of at least four men raided a prestigious art fair in the Netherlands, using a sledgehammer to smash glass cases containing jewelry while one of the men brandished a firearm to keep guards and shocked fairgoers at bay. But police were able to catch up to and arrest two of the men while at least two others escaped and are on the run. TEFAF, or The European Fine Art Foundation’s annual fair, had just returned to Maastricht for the first time since the COVID pandemic began. This event is invite-only where…
Another brick in the wall of traditional superhero-dom has crumbled as Marvel Comics announced it is set to debut its first openly gay Spider-Man, a move that leaves fans scratching their heads as to who asked for this. The new character is named Web-Weaver and will make his (its?) first appearance in an upcoming book this September. Web-Weaver is described as a fashion designer having effeminate characteristics and wearing a costume fitted with flowing sleeves and a lace collar, and sporting long false eyelashes bedecking kohl-lines eyes. Marvel, a subsidiary of woke-as-anything Disney, first made the announcement in June via…
In a sad and shocking case that has baffled authorities, a non-profit founder and young father was fatally shot in the head while he was in bed sleeping next to his wife and the alleged gunman was an acquaintance of his. Joshua Daniel Danehower, 33, a FedEx worker, was arrested for the murder of Gret Glyer, 32, by the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority at Dulles International Airport, Virginia police announced at a new conference earlier this week. Glyer’s wife, Heather, called 911 after hearing a loud noise and believing her husband had been shot, she told authorities. Police arrived and…
Oh, Netflix. It’s been a tough couple of years for you. And the bad news just keeps coming. In a recent survey conducted by Whip Media, consumers were asked to rank nine steaming services in terms of customer satisfaction. According to entertainment industry rag “Variety,” Netflix placed ninth, in other words dead last, among streaming entertainment services. This news comes in the wake of thousands of subscribers ditching Netflix over its programming which has veered left to woke land, leading viewers to look to different platforms for entertainment, and its price hikes which were implemented to compensate for the loss…
Jean-Michael Basquiat, the neo-expressionist artist who achieved most of his fame after his death of a drug overdose in 1988, is still proving to be a sought-after painter, at least in the fake art world. Just this past week the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided a Florida art museum during the middle of the day in front of visitors and seized multiple works that had been attributed to the tortured artist, but have since been questioned over their authenticity. The Orlando Museum of Art (OMA) had been holding an exhibit called ‘Heroes and Monsters’ which included some of the…
Celebrities and those connected to them are not immune from the sweeping crime wave hitting Los Angeles, and the girlfriend of actor Casey Affleck found this out the hard way when she awoke to an intruder staring down at her in bed. Actress Caylee Cowan was alone sleeping in the couple’s Los Angeles home when she heard a sound that woke her up and discovered a man staring at her while she lay in bed in the early morning hours. Cowan screamed, scaring the man and leading him to run out from the house, according to TMZ as reported by…
A disturbing claim has been made against an Oscar-winning Hollywood director, leading to his arrest on charges of sexual assault and aggravated personal injury in the town of Ostuni, Italy. Paul Haggis was accused by a British woman of non-consensual sexual relations over a period of two days, leading to injury. The director and screenwriter are in Ostuni, a whitewashed town in Apulia in Italy’s “heel,” for a series of master classes that he was set to conduct at the Allora Fest. It is unclear whether the woman was participating in the festival, but organizers have since canceled Haggis’ classes…
For around a decade a cadre of celebrities has raised their children in woke fashion, referring to their sons as “daughters,” dressing their daughters in masculine clothing, and affirming their yet-to-go-through-puberty child as “trans.” This trend is not lost on singer and actress Jennifer Lopez, who introduced her 14-year-old daughter, Emme Maribel Muñiz, as “they/them,” the gender-neutral pronoun, at a charity event. J-Lo was performing at the LA Dodgers Foundation Blue Diamond Gala in Los Angeles last week when she had Emme come on the stage and sing with her. La Lopez referred to Emme as “they” which was confusing…
