Trump takes jingoistic pride in forcing US companies to bring manufacturing jobs back to America. If they refuse, he threatens tariffs that would make exporting foreign-made products back to the US prohibitively expensive. And he couldn’t care less if this wrecks the global economy – so long as he can claim he’s making manufacturing in… Read more.
Fassbender’s concession becomes a suggestion Michael Fassbender appeared on Happy Sad Confused recently. And he made a shocking revelation worthy of that podcast’s quirky name. Fassbender said that, during his audition to play James Bond, he suggested Daniel Craig would be better. You might wonder about the self-esteem or state of mind of an actor… Read more.
A secretary of state in name only I said from the start that Marco Rubio’s nomination as Secretary of State was about tokenism, not diplomacy. Trump proved me right by stacking his administration with White, DEI (“didn’t earn it”) special envoys, making Rubio irrelevant.

Senator Kennedy: Theatrics trumps service Louisiana Senator John Kennedy cares more about entertaining MAGA Republicans with one-liners than serving his constituents. His disgraceful performance at yesterday’s press conference following the New Orleans terrorist attack proves it. While most public officials focused on the tragic loss of 15 lives, Kennedy seized the mic and ranted like… Read more.
Jerry Seinfeld regrets accusing the ‘extreme left’ of killing comedy. No, it’s not as dramatic as his Seinfeld castmate Michael Richards’ apology for his infamous racist rant. But Elon Musk and other hate-baiting trolls on his ex-Twitter hellscape, along with Trump’s MAGA propagandists on Fox News, were the only ones applauding Seinfeld. So he had… Read more.
So, it does matter if you’re ‘Black Or White’ On Saturday, during an interview with The Guardian, Janet Jackson caused quite a backlash with the following comments about Kamala Harris: Well you know what they supposedly said? She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian. [When the reporter told her Harris is ‘both,’… Read more.
Loomer looming large in MAGA world Laura Loomer is gaining infamy as the White nationalist conspiracy nut who suddenly has Trump’s ear.
