Over the weekend HBO’s John Oliver addressed the issue of Americans’ lack of historical knowledge. No not that people have an inadequate sense of what makes this country great, but that people haven’t been taught how “white supremacist” the country is. HBO’s Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, which features that smarmy, condescending nerd from across the pond, decided to jump in on all the…

Throw Momma from the Train is “insensitive to victims of elder abuse.” Home Alone “reinforces society’s relentless normalizing of the white, Christian cis nuclear family.” Kindergarten Cop is not in keeping with our “national reckoning on overpolicing.” Guess which one is a real assertion.

With all that’s going on in the world, you probably weren’t preoccupied with Greta Thunberg and the climate change zealots at the moment. (Though we wonder why they haven’t come out and condemned the fires and literal trashing of Seattle, Portland and Minneapolis as bad for the environment.) Either way they’re back, along with The Office actor Rainn Wilson, in a new TV series meant to lecture…

The HBO show I May Destroy You is a British series exploring the psychological trauma of rape and sexual exploitation. This week’s episode, "Social Media Is a Great Way to Connect," attacked straight white men as a group, in particular, for sexual abuse. 

Here's a big no thank you from sports fans to the NBA and Major League Baseball! Both leagues felt some cold shoulders from alienated fans objecting to over-the-top social justice protests recently when they resumed play. Discontent has been evident in television ratings since the NBA started up with games at the bubble in Orlando's Disney World and baseball returned with regional play in team…

Feeling so strongly that a Trump re-election would ruin the country, Oprah Winfrey is putting in millions of dollars of her own company’s money into a voting “initiative” for leftwing black women.

The Big Sports Turn-Off continued over the weekend. A hockey player declared racism is everywhere and systemic. Overly woke pro basketball and baseball players had already killed the golden goose, turning off many fans with massive protests in their recent returns. On Sunday, Pac-12 athletes did their best to drive fans away from major college sports, too, by releasing social justice demands…

You can spell hypocrite "P-O-P-O-V-I-C-H." After all his mouthing off about systemic racism, San Antonio Spurs' Head Coach Greg Popovich refused to kneel Friday with his team during the national anthem. USA Today sports reported Saturday that he refused to elaborate on why he stood up prior to a game against the Sacramento Kings.

A left-wing organization whirled into political action Thursday in Orlando, working to get out the Democrat vote, fighting so-called voter suppression, and protesting systemic racism. Activists were allowed to conduct their political activities on the job at NBA games played at Disney World. Marching in lockstep with these athletic activists are numerous members of the media.

In some weird twist of fate, the happy, sunshine-y world of The Ellen Show has been revealed to be a hotbed of workplace harassment and intimidation involving jerky producers treating their underlings like garbage. Rumors have been circulating for months about staff mistreatment and a toxic office environment, but on July 30, the big kahuna, Ellen DeGeneres herself, confirmed the rumors in a…

The current racial reawakening is forcing a reexamination of everything, from statues to tv shows. Of course, that also includes language. On Thursday, Olivia Eubanks reported for ABC News on “some commonly used terms that actually have racist origins” in an article that, to be generous, at times stretched the meaning of “common” and “origin.”

Sadly, successful businessman, conservative leader and former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain died from coronavirus on July 30. Cain was a proud American who didn’t let fears of a pandemic slow down his willingness to share our nation’s values with citizens all over the country.  However the left’s obituary of Cain gave the opposite impression of Cain, who they view caused his…

Gotta hand it to TLC: They’ve come up with the most 2020 program idea ever. In fact, I defy you to think up a more woke abomination than My Pregnant Husband. Sure, the title is a pretty good tip-off, there’s so, so much more. You see, according the site Insider: My Pregnant Husband “follows two transgender men and their spouses as they experience pregnancy and giving birth to their first…

In the July/August issue of Vanity Fair, contributor Sonia Saraiya wonders, “Is Hollywood Too Soft on Conservative Women?” It’s a ridiculous question to anyone remotely moderate or right-leaning who is familiar with pop culture, but it appears Saraiya thinks portraying conservative women as anything other than a “white nationalist racist gender traitor” is going too soft.
