Hollywood’s cringey anti-Trump concert: ‘How do they show themselves in public?’



The left has exposed just how out of touch it truly is with Americans after putting on a completely unhinged musical protest called the Rise Up, Sing Out concert, featuring Hollywood elites like Bette Midler.

Midler took the stage to sing an off-key anthem about Trump, rewriting the World War II-era song “All You Fascists.” The original song was released in 1940 as a protest of the poll tax and Jim Crow.

Now, Midler’s 2026 revamp targets Trump policies and features lyrics like, “We’ll battle ICE together / Until they cut and run / Just like in Minneapolis / And when the midterms come,” and “You’re bound to lose / You fascists, bound to lose.”


“Trying to distract us from the Epstein files / You gas and beat and murder us, protecting pedophiles / Let’s turn the screws / You pervs are bound to lose,” another lyric reads.

“What?” BlazeTV host Pat Gray says in disbelief.

“How do they show themselves in public after that?” he asks. “So embarrassing.”

While leftists are revealing that they’re out of touch with most of America, Gray points out that at least they’re allowed to be out of touch.

“We allow that ... because of free speech,” Gray says, adding, “You can sing really stupid songs in a really nasty, hideous, off-key way, and we don’t put you in jail for it.”

‘Deleting All My Social Media’: Crybaby Celebrities Melt Down After Trump Win

The gnashing of elitist teeth since the Blue Wall’s fall has been GLORIOUS! Especially for an old conservative boy from flyover country.

Outspoken left-wing celebrity Bette Midler has claimed that former President Donald Trump tortured the truth to the point of death during a CNN town hall earlier this week.

Trump appeared on the left-leaning cable channel on Wednesday night for the event. Midler has offered scathing critiques of his performance.

"Dear Donnie, Well, that was the most depressing, demented, dim-witted performance any of us have ever seen on CNN, and that's saying a lot. Thnx for reminding us yet again that you are a menace to society, & a sore loser in the grip of a dangerous fantasy that could kill us all," Midler tweeted on Friday. "Trump put #Truth in a chokehold on #CNN and squeezed for 75 minutes. Then he bludgeoned it, kicked it, slashed it, dismembered it, lynched it and left it for dead. CNN has a lot to answer for," she asserted.

\u201cTrump put #Truth in a chokehold on #CNN and squeezed for 75 minutes. Then he bludgeoned it, kicked it, slashed it, dismembered it, lynched it and left it for dead. CNN has a lot to answer for.\u201d

Rob Reiner, another frequent Trump critic, has suggested that voting for Trump amounts to a vote for "White Christian Nationalism" and "Fascism." He has also claimed that the former president is "mentally ill."

"The choice could not be clearer. If you want White Christian Nationalism, if you want Fascism, vote for Trump. If you want Human Decency, if you want Democracy, vote for Biden. That's it, and that's all," Reiner tweeted on Friday. "There's no other way to say this: Donald Trump is a Liar, a Criminal, and is mentally ill," he tweeted on Thursday.

\u201cThe choice could not be clearer. If you want White Christian Nationalism, if you want Fascism, vote for Trump. If you want Human Decency, if you want Democracy, vote for Biden. That\u2019s it, and that\u2019s all.\u201d

Reiner has previously claimed that Trump supporters are hateful, racist, misogynists.

"Donald Trumps Cult followers believe he was sent by God to make America a White Christian nation. They are blind, filled with hate, racism and misogyny. They live in a 6,000 year old world where women and minorities have no rights. They can't be reasoned with. Don't try. VOTE!!!" he tweeted last year.

'Elon took my blue check away!' Reactions pour in as Twitter yanks legacy verification badges



Media figures, celebrities, and others lost their legacy Twitter verification badges on Thursday.

The social media platform previously provided the badges for free to people like journalists and celebrities, but now with Elon Musk at the helm, the company provides verification badges to people who pay to subscribe to Twitter Blue. Organizations can pay for verification as well. Government figures and entities now get gray verification badges.

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York sounded the alarm, claiming that the new checkmark system lays the groundwork for "major potential harm" to result due to confusion about which accounts are real and which are fake.

"Jokes aside, this is setting the stage for major potential harm when a natural disaster hits and no one knows what agencies, reporters, or outlets are real. Not long ago we had major flash floods. We had to mobilize trusted info fast to save lives. Today just made that harder," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.

The congresswoman was retweeting someone who shared a screenshot of a fake New York account claiming to be the city's official account.

"This is an authentic Twitter account representing the New York City Government This is the only account for @NYCGov run by New York City government," the real account tweeted on Thursday.

"No, you're not. THIS account is the only authentic Twitter account representing and run by the New York City Government," a fake account replied.

The fake account has been suspended and a gray verification badge currently appears on the city's official account.

\u201cJokes aside, this is setting the stage for major potential harm when a natural disaster hits and no one knows what agencies, reporters, or outlets are real.\n\nNot long ago we had major flash floods. We had to mobilize trusted info fast to save lives. Today just made that harder\u201d

Outspoken left-wing celebrity Bette Midler referred to Musk as a "worm," tweeting, "Elon took my blue check away! I'm unverified! After all these years and thousands of tweets and free content, this worm has the nerve to de-certify me!"

"So by revoking my blue check mark because I wouldn’t pay some arbitrary fee, someone can just be me and say a bunch of bull****. Does that mean Twitter and @elonmusk are liable for defamation or identity theft or fraud?" Alyssa Milano asked.

Even Elmo, a character from the children's program Seasame Street, lamented the loss of the verification badge.

"Elmo will miss you, little blue check mark. But don’t worry everybody, Elmo is still Elmo!" the character's account tweeted.

\u201cElmo will miss you, little blue check mark. But don\u2019t worry everybody, Elmo is still Elmo! \u2764\ufe0f\u201d

Elon Musk indicated that he is personally paying for Twitter Blue subscriptions for NBA player LeBron James, actor William Shatner, and author Stephen King.

Bette Midler weaponizes Easter to push gun control agenda



Hollywood actress Bette Midler weaponized the holy holiday of Easter to push a gun control narrative.

The Hollywood actress and singer went off on gun violence in a recent tweet.

On Easter Sunday, Midler ranted on Twitter, "On this most Holy Day in the Christian calendar, remember the slaughter of your own innocents in school shootings across America, and let this #Easter mark a #resurrection, for them and for your commitment to change. It’s your turn."

She added a hashtag promoting the Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Moms Demand Action.

One Twitter user responded by saying, "The left is so unhinged. Let this Easter remind you that Jesus came to defeat evil like her. To bring about the awareness of a Good Father. But those who sow evil will be dealt with one day."

Someone wrote, "Guns don’t kill people. Crazy, evil people kill people. Many lives could be saved if we trained good citizens to use guns safely to protect our children. Your “change” would disarm America and make it even less safe."

Another social media user added, "I am praying for you and anyone who shares in your perspective."

Another person labeled Midler as "repulsive" for weaponizing Easter to push an anti-gun agenda.

Midler has been a strong opponent of the Second Amendment and guns.

In January, Midler ranted that there were 36 mass shootings in the United States.

The anti-gun leftist celebrity railed against the Second Amendment in May 2022, and encouraged liberals to "come armed" to a protest against the National Rifle Association in Houston, Texas. The comment was made on the heels of the mass shooting at the elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.

In May 2022, Midler blamed the NRA for the death of children instead of accusing Planned Parenthood for killing unborn kids.

Liberals and celebrities suffer complete meltdowns over Trump being reinstated on Twitter: 'How many Americans will die'



Twitter CEO Elon Musk reinstated the official account of former President Donald Trump. The reinstatement of the former president of the United States caused liberals and celebrities to suffer a complete meltdown.

Musk ran a poll asking Twitter users if Trump should be reinstated on Twitter. The 24-hour Twitter poll resulted in 51.8% of users voting "Yes" to reinstate Trump, compared to 48.2% of users saying to permanently ban Trump. More than 15 million Twitter users voted in Musk's poll.

Musk tweeted, "The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated."

Liberals and celebrities seethed over the decision to reinstate Trump on the social media platform. Reactions on Twitter from leftists viciously attacked Trump as well as Musk.

David Leavitt: "How many Americans will die because @elonmusk brought @realDonaldTrump back onto Twitter? He's Back and every American who dies because of @realDonaldTrump being back on Twitter is @ElonMusk's fault."

Filmmaker Rob Reiner: "Elon Musk is letting a man who led a violent Insurrection to overthrow the United States Government back on this platform. Letting the Lies and Disinformation continue to poison the American bloodstream."

Leftist commentator Keith Olbermann: "After this week, Terrorist Trump's $8 would constitute half of Musk's income from Twitter."

Former Clinton Secretary of Labor Robert Reich: "Memo to Elon, freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom to incite an insurrection."

Blink 182 singer Tom DeLonge: "Elon is a trail blazer holding massive insecurities. His desire to be funny, and cool is loud. He is seemingly most moved by, literally, people just liking him? It now seems like a disease to me? But supporting this racist, treasonous f*** makes me want vomit and quit Twitter."

Liberal writer Julia Ioffe: "There it is. He paid $44 billion and destroyed Twitter to reinstate Trump."

NAACP president Derrick Johnson: "Any advertiser still funding Twitter should immediately pause all advertising now."

Actress Mia Farrow: "Get blood pressure pills."

Huffington Post writer S.V. Date: "Trump was banished from Twitter not because of cancel culture, but because he attempted a coup using Twitter as a tool and THEN CONTINUED RILING UP HIS MOB EVEN AFTER IT FAILED. 2) Getting back on Twitter will remind many people what a dangerous, unhinged president he was.”

Rep. Liz Cheney: "With Trump back on Twitter, it’s a good time to watch this Jan 6 hearing. It covers each of Trump’s tweets that day, including those that have been deleted, and features multiple Trump WH staff describing his inexcusable conduct during the violence."

Actress Bette Midler: "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? This a**hole is going to give that lying sack of s**t another crack at the brass ring! Vote NO to reinstate him on TWITTER!"

TV producer Andrew Kimmel: "Elon Musk is a c***."

Democratic activist Scott Dworkin: "@realDonaldTrump belongs in prison not on Twitter. This is bulls**t."

Leftist activist Shannon Coulter: "Just emailed the head of safety at Apple and Google respectively to ask if their app stores will continue to carry the Twitter app now that Elon Musk has reinstated Donald Trump."

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt: "For @elonmusk to allow Donald Trump back on Twitter, ostensibly after a brief poll, shows he is not remotely serious about safeguarding the platform from hate, harassment and misinformation. As we've said before, Trump used Twitter to foment intolerance, issue threats and incite a violent attack against the US government. Moreover, he has shown no indication that he would do anything different if given the opportunity. When @ADL and other #StopHateforProfit leaders met with Elon Musk on 11/1, he committed to not replatform anyone, regardless of stature, until he installed a transparent, clear process that took into consideration the views of civil society. @elonmusk's decisions over the last month have been erratic and alarming, but this decision is dangerous and a threat to American democracy. We need to ask — is it time for Twitter to go?"

Fans turn on Bette Midler when she defends women from 'inclusive' trans agenda: 'Don't let them erase you!'



Actress Bette Midler sent her woke fans into an outrage on Monday when she defended women against the onslaught of the transgender agenda that says biological men can be women.

What did Midler say?

Declaring independence from the increasingly aggressive trans agenda, Midler said that women are "being stripped" of everything that makes them unique.

"WOMEN OF THE WORLD! We are being stripped of our rights over our bodies, our lives and even of our name! They don’t call us 'women' anymore; they call us 'birthing people' or 'menstruators', and even 'people with vaginas'!" Midler tweeted.

"Don’t let them erase you! Every human on earth owes you!" she added.

\u201cWOMEN OF THE WORLD! We are being stripped of our rights over our bodies, our lives and even of our name! They don\u2019t call us \u201cwomen\u201d anymore; they call us \u201cbirthing people\u201d or \u201cmenstruators\u201d, and even \u201cpeople with vaginas\u201d! Don\u2019t let them erase you! Every human on earth owes you!\u201d
— bettemidler (@bettemidler) 1656948480

Midler did not specify whom she meant by "they," but she was presumably referring to activists and organizations that demand everyone uses "inclusive" language. Such language claims that biological men can also be women and undergo the same experiences that are unique to women.

After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, for example, the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood made it clear they believe that "abortion care" is not limited to women.

What was the reaction?

Midler's tweet generated fierce backlash from people who believe she is promoting discrimination and — gasp — "transphobia."

The actress was even accused of being a "TERF," or trans-exclusionary radical feminist, a term that pro-trans advocates call women who believe that calling a biological man/transgender woman a "woman" erodes the true meaning of femininity.

  • "Bette. Don’t be a TERF. Don’t make us boycott Hocus Pocus 2," journalist Kris Vire said.
  • "SAD NEWS: Macy Gray & Bette Midler have come out as TERFs.Unfollow, un-support, and unsubscribe," journalist Ernest Owens said.
  • "F*** Bette Midler too. It’s all of us or it’s none of us. We don’t get there with transphobic nonsense," Imani Barbarin said.
  • "No one is trying to erase women with inclusive language about people who need abortion care. No one is calling you anything but what you prefer. You should extend that courtesy in return," author Roxane Gay reacted.
  • "Suddenly I don’t want Hocus Pocus 2 anymore…… Really shocked to see she has fallen into this Voldemort way of thinking," YouTuber Roly West said.
  • "Oh Christ almighty you bought this bulls***," journalist Katelyn Burns complained.
  • "Of course she's a TERF," activist Wagatwe Wanjuki said.

Transgender journalist India Willoughby even accused Midler of promoting "fascist propaganda" disseminated by foreign intelligence agencies and claimed Midler has adopted tactics used by Joseph Stalin and chief Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.

Outrage erupts over Bette Midler posting 'racist' meme against Clarence Thomas: 'The racism on the left is so deeply rooted'



Actress Bette Midler is accused of posting a racist attack against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Twitter.

The so-called "progressive" actress assailed Thomas online because she was enraged by the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. Midler posted a meme that many people are calling racist. The meme featured the face of Thomas photoshopped as a mask, but underneath is his wife – Virginia "Ginni" Thomas – wearing a black robe.

Twitter reactions from online commentators bashed the "Beaches" actress for her insensitive and "racist" attack on the Supreme Court justice.

Republican strategist CJ Pearson: "Let’s call this what this is: racism. And the only reason she gets away with it is because she’s a white liberal."

Radio host Darvio Morrow: "Sigh. The racism combined with ignorance, arrogance and a religious belief in their own virtue leaves me speechless. I’m out of words."

Pro-life advocate Obianuju Ekeocha: "The racism on the left is so deeply rooted that it’s terrifying."

Union University dean Hunter Baker: "The left is secure and unchallenged in its deep racism regarding any independence of mind in black men and women."

Former Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell: "Bette Midler continues to attack the black man."

Writer Jim Teacher: "Libs love any excuse to be racist."

Actor Clifton Duncan: "Black Americans, take note: The White 'Progressives' currently posing as our 'allies' are, in truth, some of the most vile racists you will ever encounter. And to think — there was a time I would have been thrilled to work with Ms. Midler."

Actor Kangmin Lee: "Clarence Thomas is single-handedly exposing the deep-seeded racism in the hearts of entitled white liberal women."

Powerlifter Marc Lobliner: "If this isn’t racist…."

Editor Chad Felix Greene: "This is who they are."

Actor Matthew Marsden: "Not all actors are like this. I promise."

Columnist T. Becket Adams: "So ... is that literal black face?"

Attorney NathanDallon shared a 1991 quote from Thomas: "'I'd grown up fearing the lynch mobs of the Ku Klux Klan; as an adult, I was starting to wonder if I'd been afraid of the wrong white people all along. My worst fears had come to pass not in Georgia but in Washington, D.C., where I was being pursued not by bigots in white robes but by left-wing zealots draped in flowing sanctimony.'"

Several people shared a Malcolm X quote: "The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasn’t taken, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America, the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems."

Midler posted another questionable meme claiming that Virginia Thomas is controlling her Supreme Court justice husband.

\u201chttps://t.co/TN4LpQN09u\u201d

The Hollywood celebrity also shared an illustration of Jesus Christ consoling a girl who had been raped by her uncle, but saying there was nothing he could do because Clarence Thomas makes the rules.

Last week, Midler tweeted at Ginni Thomas and wrote, "F*** ya!"

The 76-year-old actress posted another meme that called Justice Thomas an "a**hole," and saying that interracial marriage once was illegal.

She also declared the Supreme Court to be "illegitimate."

Midler has been critical of Justice Thomas since 2013.
