Actor Richard Dreyfuss recently appeared on PBS’s “Firing Line with Margaret Hoover.” During that interview, he exploded on woke Hollywood’s new inclusivity standards, calling them “patronizing” and explaining why they make him want to “vomit.” The subject of Hollywood’s woke inclusion standards came up when Hoover mentioned to Dreyfuss that, starting next year, “films will be required to meet new inclusion standards to be eligible for the Academy Award for Best Picture.” Explaining the new standards for the benefit of the audience, she said, “They’ll have to have a certain percentage of actors or crew from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups.…

Former Twisted Sister lead singer Dee Snider stood up for a fellow rock star, Paul Stanley, and agreed with him on saying that children are not old enough to make life-altering decisions via gender reassignment procedures, or “gender-affirming care,” as the left calls it. Paul Stanley, the lead singer and the co-founder of KISS, recently took to Twitter to speak out against transgender gender reassignment surgeries being performed on young kids. In the statement, he said that there is a significant difference between “teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging young children into questioning their sexual identification.” In other words,…
Despite pushback from the Left during the chaotic months of 2020 and 2021, the state song of Kentucky, “My Old Kentucky Home” was played before the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in 2021 and will be played again this year, 2023. The event, in making that decision, has refused to bow to its woke critics and cancel the song, which was first played at the race in 1921 and has been played every year since. The controversy over the song began in 2020 and heated up in 2021, with woke critics demanding the derby nix the song. Newsweek reported on…
Stephanie Melgoza crashed into a car while drunk, killing two people. Then, while being questioned by the police after the accident, she didn’t act remorseful at all. Instead, she kept giggling as the officer informed her of what she had done, not appearing sorry in the slightest and instead asking if she would be able to get back to class and go on spring break. “You want me to be honest with you. You’re going to jail. You don’t have a bond. You killed two people tonight. I don’t think you understand that,” East Peoria Police Officer Jeffrey Bieber informed…
Scott Baio, the 62-year-old actor and long-time resident of Los Angeles, just announced that he has had enough of California and so is going to leave it. Such is what he announced on Twitter, taking the same step as many who are sick of its left-wing politics, omnipresent crime, city-destroying homelessness, rampant lawlessness, and the grim future of the state as it slides into a quagmire of its own making. So, he’s taking his family out of there before it’s too late so that they can have a brighter life elsewhere. Posting about his decision on Twitter, Baio said: After…
Anheuser-Busch is again attempting to help its company recover from the backlash it has received and the boycott it has suffered as a result of what appeared to many to be a marketing partnership with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Now Michel Doukeris, the chief executive of Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev, is doing so by releasing a statement minimizing Bud Light’s relationship with Mulvaney, claiming that the relationship was not a marketing campaign. In his words: “We need to continue to clarify the fact that this was one can, one influencer and one post and not a…
Bud Light’s mistake in sending a commemorative can to Dylan Mulvaney, a decision that sparked a massive boycott and serious sales downturn for the brand, might end up being one of the biggest marketing mistakes in American history. In fact, alongside “New Coke,” it could go down as a story of exactly what not to do when trying to build a brand’s profile. In fact, Viral Nation marketing strategist Emma Ferrara told Fox News Digital, “In my career, and from what I’ve seen, this has by far been one of the most polarizing instances within the social media space.” Continuing…
As Bud Light desperately tries to win back the customers that it infuriated with its Dylan Mulvaney relationship, a video of average Americans buying beer at a baseball stadium shows that the boycott is still chugging along, as no one was in line for Bud Light and there was a long line for its competitors. In fact, in the hilarious video now making the rounds on Twitter, not a single person is in line at a Bud Light stand during a Boston Red Sox game in Fenway Park. This is the latest of many videos and anecdotal stories piling up across…
Replying to a video in which Microsoft founder and billionaire Bill Gates is asked about his relationship with pedophile and financier Jeffrey Epstein, journalist Tom Elliot exposed Bill Gates’ longstanding, worrisome relationship with Epstein. In the video that Elliott quote tweeted as a way of beginning his expository thread, Gates, asked about his relationship with Epstein, said, “No. I mean, it’s no, I had dinner with them. And that’s all and I regret the relationship the acquaintance that I had dinner with him and the relationship between the foundation and Epstein, which never was any relationship of any kind.” Well,…
Megyn Kelly, host of Sirius XM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show,” leveled serious accusations at a senior executive at Fox News on Monday, saying that that executive was the one who was behind the recent leaks of out-of-context, slanderous background information about Tucker Carlson. Specifically, Kelly accused Irena Briganti, the senior executive vice president of corporate communications at Fox News, of targeting Tucker Carlson by leaking previously unseen footage and private text messages to Media Matters and The New York Times. Briganti has denied those accusations, saying that Kelly’s accusation is “completely false and an outright lie.” In any case, Kelly,…
Once again, a conservative news host was forced to be the voice of reason and decency when Megyn Kelly bashed Chrissy Teigen’s “non-existent dress” at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Kelly used her wit to dismantle the gaudy dress that Teigan wore at the WHCD, cracking jokes at the expense of the Hollywood star, who clearly did not know about the appropriate attire for the event. Kelly said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiQOhw9h3SY “Here she is with John Legend her husband. She has, by my count, three minions following her – that’s minions in her view – following her, holding the dress or the…
Baseball is supposed to be a non-contact sport, but after an ill-advised taunt after a series sweep, things got physical and ugly for two California high school baseball teams. After Norwalk High School completed a two-game sweep over Mayfair, taking the season series from the rival school, a Norwalk player brought a broom to the postgame handshakes and swept home plate at the front of the line. Funny in theory, not-so-much in reality. While numerous spectators advised the player to stop taunting the losing squad, he declined, and words were exchanged, as well as fists, after the handshake line dissipated. The…
“Yellowstone” star Kevin Costner and wife of 18 years, Christine, are divorcing. News on the marital split comes from Costner’s representative, who told Fox News Digital that the couple will be getting divorced after nearly two decades of marriage. Speaking on that, Costner’s representative said, “It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action.” Continuing, the rep asked for privacy for the couple, saying, “We ask that his, Christine’s and their children’s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time.” TMZ reported…
Since Fox News parted ways with Tucker Carlson last week, the network’s ratings have taken a substantial hit. Fox News has unsuccessfully tried to find a replacement for Tucker’s slot that will sustain the ratings the former host had. Fox News will reportedly have a rotation of hosts filling the primetime slot that Tucker Carlson’s now available air time. Brian Kilmeade was the first to fill Tucker’s 8:00 p.m. time slot, and his performance certainly did not match Carlson’s. Kilmeade was also not well-received by outraged viewers who were displeased with Tucker’s exit from the company. The Hollywood Reporter wrote about the…
Anheuser-Busch, the parent company and brewer of beleaguered beer brand Bud Light, got absolutely shredded on social media for it’s latest attempt to recover from the Dylan Mulvaney disaster. That recovery attempt took the form of a countrified commercial. Airing during the opening round of the NFL draft, the commercial featured the typical sort of imagery (plus the now mandatory diversity found in every commercial) one would expect from a country song or music video: it featured girls in the rain drinking Bud Light underlined by Zac Brown’s song “Chicken Fried.” Watch it and see why people hated it here: https://youtu.be/Yvuj-OBQCP4…
A new survey conducted by the polling firm Rasmussen has found that former superstar Fox News host Tucker Carlson is still far more popular with Americans than his former employer, Fox News. Specifically, the Rasmussen Reports poll found that Tucker Carlson remains popular among both conservatives and likely Republican voters. “Fifty-nine percent (59%) of likely U.S. voters have a favorable impression of Carlson, including 36% who have a Very Favorable opinion of him,” Rasmussen noted in its report on the [oll. Continuing, it also noted that many people quite dislike Tucker, saying, “Thirty-four percent (34%) view Carlson unfavorably, including 25%…
During a Thursday rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, former President Donald Trump decided to mock President Joe Biden by imitating him getting lost and confused on stage. It was predictably hilarious, and the crowd lost it while watching him bumble around the stage like Brandon. While looking confused on stage, Trump said, “You would think at least one time he’d get up and say, ‘I’m running for president — where, where am I going, where the hell am I going.’” Continuing, Trump continued looking lost and confused on stage while imitating Biden and saying, “I want to get out, oh,…
Sheriff’s deputies in Jacksonville, Florida opened fire on and killed a suspect who allegedly attempted to stab a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office K9 at the end of an hours-long standoff with the deputies. That incident occurred on April 12th and footage of it was just released. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Department released the video in a “critical incident briefing” that was just posted to Facebook. The briefing shows both footage of the event and a deputy explaining what happened during the incident.

Megyn Kelly has one again gone viral, this time for her clever, seven-word response to trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney complaining about being labeled a man some and saying that it should be “illegal” to call him “he.” In response to Mulvaney calling for the arrest of those who use the “wrong” pronouns, Megyn Kelly said, “Move to Canada Dylan. You’ll love it.” Kelly’s response was to a video of Mulvaney posted by the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh. Walsh, captioning the video, said, “Dylan Mulvaney calls for the arrest of people who call him a man. Do you still think I’ve…
Former NCAA swimmer and asterisked champion Lia Thomas joined the WBNA’s convicted Russian felon Brittney Griner in calling out critics of biological men competing against biological women, saying they were “transphobic” for suggesting sports divisions should be bifurcated by biological sex. And Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld wasn’t having any of it, as he mocked Thomas with his trademark wit and humor. “First, I gotta give the swimmer some credit. Lia’s got some serious balls,” Gutfeld joked. “I mean, to tell feminists how to be a feminist, you gotta say that’s pretty gutsy.” Gutfeld went on, saying that the issue bothered…
Fox News Channel recently fired Tucker Carlson. Before Tucker was fired, he was consistently one of its top hosts from a viewership perspective and the best at bringing in the key 25-54 advertising demographic. But now he’s gone, and Fox News Channel’s ratings are collapsing, particularly in that ad demographic. Such is what Megyn Kelly pointed out in a sharp and to the point tweet, saying, “You can’t compare Tucker’s Fri night ratings to this week’s Mon/Tue. (Fridays in prime are where ratings go to die.) Compare his last Mon/Tue to this week’s Mon/Tue. It’s a bloodbath: they lost HALF…
