What happens if Bond goes woke? Could the franchise, which typically extends beyond the two-hour mark, suddenly stop cold for lectures on inequality or gender limitations? “No Time to Die” already has fans worried the woke transformation has begun. Bond reportedly gets married in the film, yet his bride won’t take his last name. The latest Bond wheels are powered by electric currents.

Why Mark Ruffalo’s Apology for Slamming Israel Matters
The “Dark Waters” star offered up the kind of mea culpa that others should emulate.
Too Many Celebrities Actively Condone Violence
Far-left Trevor Noah repeatedly excuses violence, at least when it’s associated with causes he admires. Last week, the Comedy Central host downplayed the war crimes associated with Hamas during its ongoing conflict with Israel. Last year, both John Oliver and Seth Meyers downplayed Antifa’s violence in Portland. Meyers dubbed the mayhem “mild property damage and graffiti…”
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. Israel has superior fire power, and by the Left’s standards should think twice before using it…Israel’s responsibility is to protect the country and its citizens against a force aiming to wipe you off the planet. How could Noah not see this?

Why was the ‘Judas’ co-star exploring the ‘teachings’ of Farrakhan in the first place?
The Pandemic Oscars — One Big Yawn
Sober, laugh-free and woke on steroids, the annual snoozefest got even worse.
7 Causes You Won’t Hear Championed During the Oscars
The causes matter but the progressive elites won’t dare name check them. They include kids in cages, Chinese censorship, big tech censorship, blacklist 2.0, and businesses crushed by riots and Covid restrictions.
Are Entertainment Reporters Providing Cover for Seth Rogen and James Franco?
Over the weekend actress/author Charlyne Yi leveled a provocative charge at the team behind “The Disaster Artist.” The film, a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of “The Room,” co-starred Yi in a small role. Yi revealed via her Instagram account that she wanted to exit the project once she learned about several women accusing Franco of sexually charged misbehavior.
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. The speeches also brim with progressive messaging and the Oscars can’t find a host who can survive the woke vetting.
“Saturday Night Live” Has Gone from Subversive to Serving the Corporate Elite
The show exists to defend Democrats, excoriate Republicans and sustain cultural narratives that the corporate press endorses. That’s the new, dispiriting formula.
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? Shouldn’t he have to apologize for his “offensive” Asian gag, which he trotted out on more than a few occasions? Given how Cancel Culture works today, we’re due for a “hostage apology”-style mea culpa, no?
Liberal Producer Chuck Lorre Dragged by Cancel Culture with His New CBS Sitcom
Time will tell if CBS and Lorre stand up for their new series or if Cancel Culture will get a new scalp for its collection.
“My Son Hunter” May Be the Movie Biden Fears the Most
Here’s the film’s official synopsis: In “We tell the story of the Biden Family Corruption through the eyes of Hunter Biden. You will be shocked by what you see on screen. You may think you know the story, but the truth is more damning than you could ever imagine!” Anyone visiting MySonHunter.com can make a tax-deductible donation to help the film become a reality.
Grammy’s Silent on “Kids in Cages” Crisis
Once again celebrities can’t bring themselves to speak truth to Democrats in power.
Washington Post, USA Today Play Dumb as Comics Avoid Biden Jokes
The new president may be too competent to mock, they say with a straight face.
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.
Amazon Cancels Clarence Thomas Doc, Sparking DVD Sales Frenzy
It’s not the first time Amazon blocked a right-leaning documentary featuring black conservatives. Last year the makers of “What Killed Michael Brown?” approached Amazon about carrying the movie on its VOD platform.
Could Woody Allen’s Extensive Film Library Be Canceled Next?
For now, the small movement wants HBO Max, where viewers can see the “Allen v. Farrow” docuseries, to erase the six Allen films currently available on the service. The HBO docuseries could gather cultural momentum, though, and the same actors who fear speaking out against Cancel Culture likely won’t stand up for Allen’s work should it vanish from streaming platforms.
“SNL” Called Trump Fans Nazis, Clutches Pearls Over Carano’s Nazi Analogy
“Saturday Night Live” also finally tagged Gov. Andrew Cuomo for a Covid-19 scandal so huge even the far-left platform couldn’t hide it. The timing screams volumes, of course. The Cuomo slam came after the show ignored the obvious truths about the governor for nearly a year. Yet the writers pounced on Cruz’s sizable gaffe mere days later.
Why Won’t Disney+ Cancel Bette Midler?
Read the “Hocus Pocus 2” star’s history of sexist, xenophobic Twitter rants. Fat shaming? Check. Mocking people with addiction? Check. Ridiculing someone with Stage 4 cancer? Check. Midler shattered the #MeToo template by assuming a woman seen being groped by future Sen. Al Franken was a liar.
Disney and Journalists Don’t Care If You Call Out Their Glaring Hypocrisy About Gina Carano
Groups like NOW won’t run to Carano’s defense, even though she’s a strong, independent woman who could use the sisterhood right about now. She’s not progressive, so she doesn’t trigger their activism. Her co-stars will stay mum, too, likely scrubbing their previous online support for Carano. Don’t bet against Twitter deplatforming her soon.
Springsteen’s Unity Plea Was Virtue Signaling at Its Worst
His “unity” plea, spoken in his signature croak, hoped for a new American age. It was inauthentic to the core. Like most Super Bowl ads, the message wasn’t about the product or how it can help Americans. Jeep hoped “The Boss” could enhance its corporate brand.
Jimmy Fallon’s Anti-Trump Pose Crushed His Ratings
The formerly apolitical talker got woke … and ‘The Tonight Show’ paid the price.
“Wonder Woman 1984” Is Woke, Wobbly and the Year’s Most Shocking Dud
Director Patty Jenkins besmirched what should have been the next great superhero franchise. She trots out a heaping helping of female victimhood, adds some de rigueur Trump bashing and mocks President Ronald Reagan for good measure. What’s left is, without a doubt, is 2020’s worst film.
