Oscar hosts Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes joined forces to open the 2022 Academy Awards as culture war themes often took center stage.  Their opening monologue took aim at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, a bill that many on the Left have dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

How Could Any American Patriot Back Putin?

Washington Examiner

Dan Hannan: What is it that Trump and his followers see in Putin in the first place? He does not respect elections. He believes he can make up the rules as he goes along.

Christopher Tremoglie: I have a dream, that one day, those white people who grieve about a lack of racial diversity at their jobs, will be the first to resign their own positions for the sake of “equity.” I have a dream that every white person who believes people should lose jobs because of their white skin color, will look in the mirror and realize they don’t belong in their own jobs.  Forget about hiring black head coaches — let’s have a black NFL commissioner! 

CNN and Stelter Forget How Jeff Zucker Turned Their Network into Trump TV in 2016

Washington Examiner

it was CNN under Zucker, not Fox News, that replaced qualified conservative commentators on air, not just with Trump sycophants, but with Trump sycophants whom Trump himself had suggested the network hire. Zucker hired not only Trump’s nominee, Jeffrey Lord, but also his future press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, from total obscurity. And Zucker’s CNN hired Corey Lewandowski the moment he was forced to quit the Trump campaign for manhandling a female reporter and then a protester.
