Former ESPN television host Jemele Hill released her memoir last month titled “Uphill.” The book explores Hill’s self-purported journey in overcoming racism in America and she spent significant time promoting her new work across various networks. The New York Times published more than one fawning review to condone her bravery.

Creator Taylor Sheridan might not think the show is explicitly conservative, but it’s definitely not woke. Nobody is talking about pronouns or how to properly address people. When things go sideways, problems are often solved with a gun. Again, people respond to what’s entertaining.

The problem with Noah is that he isn’t funny. You’d think humor would’ve been a requirement to host a political satire show. Unfortunately, it wasn’t for Noah.

As embarrassing as it should be for Olbermann to continuously recount a long-ago failed relationship, it pales in comparison to the humiliation Sinema must feel. No matter what she accomplishes in Congress, no matter how many radical bills she prevents from passing, she shall never live down dating Keith Olbermann.

What must be done in order for Covid to fully move to the rear view mirror, is for those who influenced the creation of these policies to apologize and admit their mistakes. It’s not enough to simply end restrictions or change guidance, apologies must be issued and acknowledgements made.

Here we go again with Hugh Hefner’s ex-Playboy bunny girlfriends — Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt — trashing the dead guy in yet another podcast where the aging blondes attempt to rewrite their pop culture histories even though they were willing participants in Hugh’s sex kingdom.

In a pathetic attempt to resurrect herself and her political future from the dead, Hillary Clinton is using the Mar-A-Lago raid to hawk cheap merchandise.

Jalen Rose recently dropped an absolute take quake about Mount Rushmore. The former NBA star and current ESPN analyst tweeted a video demanding people stop using Mount Rushmore as a measuring stick for greatness.

Somehow, the same people who claim to care about ”equity,” trying to force the same outcomes for all, have no issue sentencing huge percentages of black students to miss further schooling. Amazing how hypocrisy is ignored when another political goal is required.

Popovich and Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr have been among the most extreme voices for social justice reform coming out of the NBA where approximately 75% of the players are African American and the average salary is $8.5 million dollars per year.

Hours after LeBron James seamlessly shoved his foot in his mouth – stating that Brittney Griner should question wanting to go back to the United States – the Lakers’ attention whore attempted to remove the foot and walk back his comments. It didn’t go well.

Even after botching a Si Se Puede (“Yes We Can”) attempt in April 2021 at a California farmerworkers event and nearly tying her tongue in a knot on Monday after trying to pronounce bodega (boh-day-gaw), she chose to spice things up during a speech delivered before a predominantly Latino crowd by equating the “uniqueness” of the people of San Antonio to breakfast tacos.

OutKick founder Clay Travis envisioned a reality where Trump was still in charge. And if you asked Clay to bet on whether Griner would have been retrieved under Trump’s stalwart leadership, he’d tell you that’s easy money.

Regardless of your religious beliefs, players should not have to participate in a self-serving social justice campaign. Pride Month has become more about the public figures pretending to support the rainbow flag than the LGBT community.

Cruise is apolitical and driven, eager to make populist movies with talented colleagues. Cruise delivers without the lectures, social media hate or other trappings some actors embrace…The summer is off to shockingly pro-American start.

Rubio called out the league’s pregame actions just prior to Wednesday’s Celtics – Heat Eastern Conference Finals game. Before tipoff, Miami’s public address announcer urged fans to call their Senators in support of “commonsense gun laws.” In response, Rubio fired off a tweet: “The NBA doesn’t like to talk about the billions they make from a China that enslaves Uyghur Muslims and harvests their organs. But they have no problem politicizing a horrific tragedy in America.”

“A man bun? That’s not a thing,” said Barkley on TNT. “That’s called you’re too cheap to get a haircut, you can’t make it up something. Get a haircut, Aaron.” Just don’t expect the Packers QB to actually take Barkley’s advice — he generally doesn’t work well with cancel culture.

There’s no proof that Josh Donaldson’s comment echoed a racial undertone. However, a white athlete in question must now prove to those who cover sports that they are not racist. Racist is the default. The demand for racism in sports so strongly outstrips the supply that pundits often have to manufacture examples. And that’s a line too far for Stephen A. Smith.

David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, announced he’ll be meeting with Rowling to explore new Potter-themed stories. His decision, assuming it stands, marks a dramatic turn of events. Corporations have been oh so eager to do the woke community’s bidding in recent years, from “woke trainings” to incessant social media messaging for progressive causes.

For most of its history, college sports has operated under the principles of communism. A relative handful of people — coaches, administrators, NCAA bureaucrats, and state university athletic departments — became very wealthy, while the vast majority of the valuable labor producing the value — the players — worked for well below market rates.

NY Yankees pitching star Nestor Cortes has gone dark on Twitter after select users targeted the lefty for using racially insensitive language. And in typical cancel culture fashion, the tweets proved to be entirely irrelevant. The incriminating tweets were rap lyrics first posted by Cortes 10 years ago, when the pitcher was only 17 years of age.

Rapper A$AP Rocky was arrested in 2019 in Sweden and President Trump demanded his release. Trump took action to release a Black rapper from prison but Joe Biden tweets nice things about minorities — he’ll leave the Black WNBA star in Russia, though.

Symone Sanders wasn’t the answer for MSNBC, it turns out. Sanders, a former spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris, debuted her MSNBC weekend program to just 361,000 total viewers on Saturday.
