Did Award Shows Finally Get the Message?
It’s Donald Trump’s fault. The former president, campaigning to return to the White House for four more years, uncorked a Trumpian slam against Jimmy Kimmel Sunday night. Trump mocked Kimmel’s Oscar-night performance just in time for the late-night Leftist to read the diatribe on-air to millions of viewers. Donald Trump triggered Jimmy Kimmel while he …

‘Killing America’ Connects Shocking DEI Dots
“Killing America” opens with an uppercut. The mini-documentary shares examples of antisemitism from the California school system. Director Eli Steele’s film has Oct. 7 on its mind, and the ensuing hate toward Jews nationwide. His film takes a circuitous route to explain how that rage took root on the West Coast (and, presumably, elsewhere). Just …

The ACLU, once the go-to weapon against speech suppression, looks the other way when the Biden administration censors social media users.

‘Color Purple’s Taraji P. Henson: Cancel Cancel Culture
Taraji P. Henson made quite a stir during awards season. Her outsized turn as Blues singer Shug Avery in “The Color Purple” earned solid reviews but no official love from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.

UConn Cancels Conservative Comedian at Very Last Minute
Stand-up comic K-von tells jokes clean enough for Dry Bar Comedy. That platform serves up PG-rated laughs, the kind the Persian-American delivers on stage and via his YouTube channel.

Have We Grown Numb to Runaway Censorship?
Another day, another artist learns the show won’t go on. Matisyahu knows the feeling. The rapper has already seen two of his 2024 gigs get canceled. Now, his sold-out show at Chicago’s House of Blues is off the schedule. There’s little mystery in play. Matisyahu is Jewish and supports Israel. Anti-semitism flowered after the Oct. …
