Culture
ESPN President Jimmy Pitaro repeatedly insists, "We are not a political network." Really?

The Need For Xi?: New ‘Top Gun’ Bows To Communist Chinese Government

PC Ya! Miss Michigan Has Title Revoked Over 'Insensitive' Politics
Culture
Thoughtful political opinions add to the appeal of Miss America contestants. That is, unless they are anything right of Bernie Sanders.

Politico: Tipping Has ‘Racist Past,’ So Raise The Minimum Wage
Culture
You know, there are plenty of Econ 101 students who could tell you that raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour is a bad thing for the U.S. economy. Plenty of waiters and busboys, too. So the counter argument must get away from the facts of the issue and offer something a little more emotionally-charged, like “the racist history of tipping,” in order to push for higher wages in the service…
To the Resentment-Mobile! NBC: Trump an Entitled ‘Bruce Wayne’
Culture
Ross Perot thought he was Batman. Donald Trump and Tom Steyer do too, according to Sam Thielman, writing on NBC’s “Think” website. I don’t know. Perot (RIP) was a kind of a weird little guy, and Trump’s issues will keep psychologists (real ones, not Brian Stelter) working for years. Steyer certainly seems to have a green messiah thing going, but I don’t see much Caped Crusader in him.

Nasty Samantha Bee Comedy Continues Pushing Anti-Christian Storylines
Culture
We’re 5 episodes into TBS’s comedy The Detour, and still, nothing much has changed. The show is still relying on typical anti-Christian storylines, caricatures and stereotypes as fodder for its plotlines, and when it does branch out into something more unusual, it’s disgusting, incestuous stories that would make most pedophiles smile. Given that Samantha Bee is the creator, this comes as no…

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’: Women Treated as ‘Vessels’ for Babies
Culture
In this latest season of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, the series has been unusually spiteful towards religious people. Of course, the premise of a religious takeover of the United States forcing women into slavery was never going to be flattering, but this year has been much harsher with Christians defacing monuments and priests being called child molesters. This week, we see a retread of the old…
Bleacher Report: SJW LeBron James's School Focuses on Feelings

LeBron James' I Promise School in Akron, Ohio debuted to rave reviews from an adoring media a year ago. Renowned for his thunderous basketball dunking and social justice warrior exploits, he plunked out $600,000 to help taxpayers start this unique school for at-risk third- and fourth-graders, along with a $1 million donation for a gym.

Huh? NYT: Apollo Space Program Guilty of ‘Gender Bias’ Against Women
Culture
The 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing should be a celebration that has no trouble getting off the ground -- it’s widely recognized as one of America’s greatest achievements. However, Houston, we have a problem. There is no milestone or achievement we can commemorate in these woke days that doesn’t provoke a scolding “yes, but,” statement from the unhappy left.
Chris Pratt Called ‘Bigot’ For ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ T-Shirt
Culture
Chris Pratt has gotten himself into some hot water in the last couple of days for wearing the classic Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flag T-shirt. It’s racist, don’t ya know, having been adopted by Idaho Hitler Youth groups and Waffen SS sewing circles. But then again, some portion of Americans are dumb enough to let Colin “Pig Socks” Kaepernick tell them the Betsy Ross flag symbolizes slavery. Why…
