The craziness of Lovecraft Country is nothing compared to the insanity of the past week, but the HBO series is unfortunately back making waves anyway. More specifically, it’s back to making obvious yet ridiculous parallels between 1955 and today. The latest example comes courtesy of an apparent comparison of George Floyd to Emmett Till and an "I can't breathe" reference.

Let nobody say Sally Jenkins doesn’t pull her weight at the Washington Post. On Oct. 3, the sports columnist did what all good Posties do and superimposed her political take on her purported beat -- while dumbing down the political situation by imposing sports judgement on it. And she did it with passion!

President Trump and his wife have both tested positive for COVID-19, and while there’s been much mockery and insults directed at Trump, a few celebrities posted content that lacked their usual acidity.

If aliens were to come to earth this week and witness firsthand the gloating going around Twitter over the president and his wife contracting coronavirus, they’d probably leave and never come back. In fact, they might want to drop a few planet-killing payloads and put us all out of our misery.

Well here’s some news to break the heart. Yahoo Sports reports that “Game 1 of the Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat brought in only 7.41 million viewers to ABC, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That is reportedly the lowest viewership seen for the Finals since at least 1994, when total viewers began to be regularly recorded.”

Hillary Clinton will just do anything to keep herself in the spotlight, apparently. After recently appearing on a “non-partisan” Freeform show, she’s already back in the media with a brand-new show on the horizon.

In 2020, television networks are so desperate to bring new programming on-air that Fox aired a political puppet show October 1. Titled Let’s Be Real, puppets and cameo appearances by real people performed skits using current events and the presidential election as topics.

South Park returned on September 30 for “The Pandemic Special” – a standalone hour not attached to a season. There were many wild, intertwining, timely storylines throughout the 60 minute cartoon – including an over-militarization of the police/brutality subplot where police officers take over in the classroom for teachers refusing to return to school – but the most overtly political…

As if the Academy Awards wasn’t enough, ABC Entertainment recently announced a new set of “inclusion standards” regarding their primetime programs. It’s yet another installment of the left trying to ruin everything it touches.

Sometimes, even the most pro-choice people on the planet have a hard time denying the reality that their unborn child is a living human being inside of them. Hollywood couple John Legend and Chrissy Teigen tragically lost their third child due to pregnancy complications on October 1. In their mournful social media posts about the horrific loss, they revealed themselves as a pro-life family, if…

For actor John Cusack, politics is thicker than blood and water. According to FoxNews.com, Cusack tweeted on September 29: “I’m blocking anyone who isn’t aggressively anti trump untill election is over - sorry no time for your BS.” Poor Cusack, it must be on account of his delicate feelings. It must be difficult to see a tweet that doesn’t totally bash Trump into the ground with profanity-…

John Cleese would like an argument please. Another argument. This time, it’s about biology. A Twitter Transtapo mob has been hounding Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling for being insufficiently woke to gender issues. But Cleese, the legendary Monty Python founder, is having none of it. Rowling, a liberal feminist, thinks womanhood should be reserved for those who are…

Who would envision living in a time where an American athlete could be suspended from his team’s competition for supporting his country’s duly-elected president? Well we don’t have to imagine it. This week professional American cyclist Quinn Simmons was sidelined from competition for disagreeing with a journalist’s negative appraisal of President Donald Trump.

Pity the queers (their term, not mine). Having just emerged blinking and malnourished from Mike Pence’s concentration camps, they find themselves staring into the maw of a new nightmare: a supreme court possibly disinclined to treat the constitution like a goody bag.
