The New Film “Forever Purge” Follows the Left’s Fear of White Supremacy, Ignores Antifa
The “Purge” franchise offers a glimpse into the progressive mindset.

Why Hasn’t the Left Canceled Bill Maher?
The “Real Time” HBO host skewers wokesters, but they refuse to return fire…The Left may, on some primitive level, understand that Maher is making a point with his broadsides.

Too Many Celebrities Actively Condone Violence
Far-left Trevor Noah repeatedly excuses violence, at least when it’s associated with causes he admires.

You Won’t Believe How Trevor Noah Spins Hamas’ Assault on Israel
Noah’s argument is alarming, and he’s hardly the first progressive to attempt it.

Clueless Reporters Ignore GOP Elephant in Oscar’s Room
Why would any right-leaning soul sit through a bloated production that puts the emphasis on progressive finger wagging, not entertainment? Awards show jokes often mock conservatives or GOP leaders.

Could Colbert Survive His “Racist” Asian Jokes Today?
We’re living in a moment when comedians like Jay Leno are apologizing for old Asian jokes that some consider racist in the current climate. What about Colbert?

TCM’s “Reframed” Defends Classic Movies from Woke Mob
Don’t kid yourself. This is TCM’s attempt to stave off the woke mob, plain and simple. Consider one of the films up for discussion. “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” has been under the cultural microscope for years. Mickey Rooney’s performance as Mr. Yunioshi, the upstairs neighbor sporting fake teeth and stereotypically Asian manners, is a gross caricature at best.
