Anybody who looks at leftist celebrity tweets can deduce that their writers are hypersensitive, impulsive, and therefore ready to blurt out invectives at the slightest provocation. They’re also not exactly civil libertarians.

Fight Club actor Ed Norton just dropped his searing take on the criminality of Trump this week, concocting a crazy conspiracy on how Trump is refusing to concede all in order to avoid jail time. 

The Deadspin blog is a veritable "Democratspin" again with three currently appearing attacks on Republicans, over the election investigation, campus sexual assaults and COVID-19. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, presidential attorney Rudy Giuliani and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem all took broadside hits from "Democratspin" partisan hacks. The so-called "sports" blog is a full-fledged anti-…

In the fourth season of Netflix’s The Crown, released November 13, the audience gets a couple of storylines they’ve been waiting for. This season heralded the entrance of Lady Diana Spencer (Elizabeth Debicki, The Night Manager) and her tumultuous beginning as Princess of Wales. For those more interested in the political intrigue than the romantic, season four also brings us…

On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me . . . an LGBTQ movie.

After four years, all the media really has on Donald Trump and his family is fictional slander. Considering that the latest hit against the Trumps comes from a dejected former best friend of Ivanka Trump’s intended to make her look like a brat, rock bottom doesn’t begin to describe where the media’s at in their war with that baaaaad orange man.

I admit it: I sometimes feel like writing about Keith Richards. I’m a fan. But since there are few situations when writing about Keef isn’t a non sequitur, I mostly confine myself to brief Facebook appreciations of say, the slashing rhythm guitar on “All Down the Line,” or the delicate arpeggios on “Love in Vain.” Would that Politico’s John F. Harris had my discipline.

Next Monday night's NFL game pitting the Rams against the Buccaneers will feature the first game in the league's history with an all-Black officiating crew, and USA Today's Jarrett Bell ridiculously blows the significance of this out of proportion. He also exploits it to re-open ages-old wounds about racism in America and in football.

According to one screenwriter, Trump has been saying of Hollywood for years, “We’re the radical left, anti-God; we hate Christmas! A bunch of condescending socialist defund-the-policers,” but the better term to use for them would be “patriots.”

The Society of Jesus is at it again. The priestly profession of saving souls, which the Jesuits used to be so good at, is persistently superseded by the desire to uphold social justice. 

90s gangsta rapper and B movie actor LL Cool J has just put the Twitter smackdown on anti-mask wearers and pro-life people, so he thinks. Too bad he never realized there’s nothing gangsta about being so afraid of viruses to the point of wanting the government to start controlling people’s lives.

NFL reject Colin Kaepernick is re-directing his utter hatred of America's public safety officers to the freeing of cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal. The Philadelphia radical was convicted of first-degree murder for killing Philadelphia police officer and U.S. Army veteran David Faulkner in 1981.

Resentment is a powerful emotion. It can choke off reason and poison even moments of triumph. And it plays hell with self-awareness -- just look at the November 18th Washington Post “perspective” piece (oh the irony) by Robin Givhan.

Who would look more manly? A gnarly-faced Scot who’s clad in a kilt, sporting a fierce beard, brandishing a claymore and wearing a scowl that could kill a snowflake? Or a smooth-faced boy with styled hair who’s wearing a dress that resembles a ball gown from the 1800s?
