Chasing Hispanic Voters, Kamala Harris Lies In Another Language At Town Hall
When Harris wasn’t affecting awkward 'Latinx' accents, she was reinventing history and lying about her party’s reverence for 'democracy.'When Harris wasn’t affecting awkward 'Latinx' accents, she was reinventing history and lying about her party’s reverence for 'democracy.'Colbert slays fans with 'CNN reports news' gag
Who knew Stephen Colbert was so funny?
“The Late Show” host uncorked his best line in ages during his Monday night chat with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. The two were attacking President Donald Trump and celebrating VP Kamala Harris when Colbert hurled this killer quip.
“I know you guys are objective over there [at CNN], that you just report the news as is,” Colbert began before the live audience began to howl.
“Is that supposed to be a laugh line?” Collins asked.
“It’s not supposed to be, but I guess it is!” Colbert responded.
This Colbert guy is one to watch. Here’s hoping he shares more howlers this week.
The Last Walz
Now it all makes sense.
Stolen valor-adjacent Tim Walz is hitting the Hamptons Thursday for a tony fundraiser.
Nothing new there. The catch? The musical act chosen to lure people to see Captain Folksy and friends.
Mumford & Sons.
Yes, the same band that hung founding member Winston Marshall out to dry when he had the gall to support brave journalist Andy Ngo’s anti-Antifa book in 2021.
Marshall decided to leave the band and start a new career where he could speak his mind sans consequences. He’s done that and more.
Now his remaining bandmates are stuck with the unenviable task of making the Democrats forget Walz’s disastrous record.
If they play “I Will Wait” LOUD enough, they just might pull it off.
Life support for terminal Terminator
Audiences have spoken. We’re so done with “Terminator” movies.
The last two “Terminator” films, including 2019’s “Dark Fate” co-starring OG players Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger, fizzled at the box office. The latter lost a reported $120 million.
Franchises end. It happens. MoveOn.org.
Tell that to James Cameron.
He teased yet another “Terminator” in a recent interview.
The self-described “overbearing” director has struck it rich, again, with the “Avatar” franchise. He’s booked for "Avatar 3, 4 and 5," but evidently has enough time to revive a franchise already read its last rites.
Why did he have to take "I’ll be back” so seriously?
Clooney a movie star? QT calls BS
George Clooney has it all. Looks. Money. Fame. A thin skin.
The “Ocean’s Eleven” lead is sore at Quentin Tarantino for saying he’s not a “movie star.” The two worked together on 1996’s “From Dusk ‘Til Dawn” but apparently grew apart after filming.
We’re siding with Tarantino. If anything, Clooney is a TV star first and foremost. Who else could rock a mullet like his “Facts of Life” do?
You're Sorkin in it
Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin of “West Wing” fame is getting attention for a provocative attack on today’s GOP. Sorkin says it would be impossible for him to write a “reasonable” Republican character were the NBC series on the air now.
“People would watch that and it would be unfamiliar to them as the country that they live in. On the show, while the Republicans were the opposition, they were reasonable, the Republicans that they dealt with.”
Remember how Sorkin’s party demonized Mitt Romney, the most “reasonable” Republican in sight? Methinks the celebrated court scribe of the Democrats doth protest too much.
Something else Sorkin could never write today? The climactic monologue of 1995's "The American President," in which the titular character (Michael Douglas) makes a full-throated defense of free speech:
America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You've gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say, "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours."
Nowadays, Dems like Sorkin know better. Those words that make your blood boil are called "misinformation."
Coy George
With Kamala Chameleon making a run for the presidency, now's as good a time as any for "Karma Chameleon" crooner Boy George to return to the spotlight. An adaptation of the pioneering gender-bender's autobiography is headed to the big screen.
Don't expect an unflattering "warts and all" treatment. In an era in which singers routinely sell their song catalogs for millions, biopics, and documentaries are elaborate exercises in brand management.
Just ask Pink, Taylor Swift, Elton John, and others. Who needs a publicist when you have entire movie studios shaping your image?
Meanwhile, actress Christine Baranski is threatening a third “Mamma Mia!” movie. To paraphrase the great Boy himself, "Do you really want to hurt us, Christine?"
Clooney flatlines Biden, prescribes Kamala cure
Get excited! George Clooney is on Team Kamala.
The heartthrob threw his support behind Vice President Harris just days after throwing President Joe Biden under the presidential motorcade. So much throwing. Great for the shoulders, but he better bend at the knees. You’re not a kid any more, George.
Clooney knew Biden’s obvious dementia could complicate the leader’s campaign, but he only spoke out following Biden’s disastrous debate performance.
What. A. Patriot.
Now he wants us to know that the candidate who flamed out in epic fashion four years ago is the best candidate possible. Maybe ever. Clooney is a master at make-believe, but those skills stretch only so far …
Kamala chameleons
We’ve had three-plus years of comedians avoiding the word salad spinner in chief.
Vice presidents don’t always offer comic gold to satirists, but there are exceptions. Comics mocked Mike Pence’s uber-square persona. Dan Quayle got hammered for his infamous “potatoe” spelling gaffe. Dick Cheney’s hunting accident wasn’t the only time late-night wags pounced and seized on the crusty VP.
Harris? Zero, zilch, nada. Looks like the usual past-their-prime-timers have chosen to focus on what their job can be (savior of democracy), unburdened by what it has been (overpaid court jester).
And expect that wall of silence to extend to November. Except when comedians are promoting her campaign, like “Jimmy Kimmel Live” fill-in Lamorne Morris did this week.
The “New Girl” alum praised potential first man Douglas Emhoff as a “stud” while admitting that Harris will need all the help she can get to top Trump come November.
“She gonna need the help of every single god she can get, okay. I’m talking Yahweh, you got Allah, you need Jesus, Oprah, all the big gods,” he quipped.
To paraphrase Robert Plant, “Does anybody remember laughter?”
Worse than waterboarding
Jack Bauer is back. But will we even recognize him?
A new “24” film is in development, although it’s unclear whether Kiefer Sutherland will reprise his role as the relentless hero. In fact, we know very little about the project other than it is yet more proof that beloved IPs never die in Hollywood. They just get rebooted until audience eyerolls hit warp speed.
Will Jack resemble the hero we knew and loved for eight consecutive seasons? He can’t torture terrorists to glean valuable clues any more. Too problematic. The terrorists will have to be Patriot Front members, not Islamic Jihadists. And can our hero save America without having a difficult conversation about systemic racism?
Let’s hope “24” gets stuck in development hell ….
Stone crazy
Sharon Stone’s giving America one last chance.
The “Casino” star is threatening to leave the country should Donald Trump retake the White House this November.
“This is one of the first times in my life that I’ve actually seen anyone running for office on a platform of hate and oppression.”
Guess that means she thought Trump’s 2016 run was marked by sunshine and rainbows. That’s hopeful, right?
There’s a reason celebrities make this vow every four years (and never go through with it). Two, actually. One, it guarantees fawning media attention — not with Align, but everywhere else. Two, it’s a “hire me” placard in plain sight. “See? I think just like you do! Now can I get a bit part in the next season of 'Bridgerton'? Please?”
Talk about giving in to your basic instinct!
Gass bag
Jack Black took plenty of heat after his bandmate publicly proclaimed his grim birthday wish: that the next would-be shooter would take Trump out for good.
Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass expressed that hope at a Sydney concert less than a day after a 20-year-old man shot and nearly killed Trump at a Butler, Pennsylvania, rally.
Black didn’t raise a ruckus on stage, but he swiftly shared an Instagram apology with meat on its bones. The “School of Rock” star canceled the rest of the band’s current tour and said he’d be taking a creative break.
Gass shared his own mea culpa on Instagram ... only to later delete it.
What a total "D."
Women of 'The View’ are ENRAGED at Democrats and this A-list star
The women of "The View" love to tell America just how delusional they are — and their thoughts regarding President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race are no exception.
“I think it shows what a statesman he is. I think it shows what a patriot he is. I think it shows that he can put his country before his ego because he had such a great record as president. I think that history will know him as one of the greatest presidents that we’ve had. I really do believe that,” Sunny Hostin gushed to the panel.
“I wasn’t comfortable with the notion that people were forcing him out,” she continued. “I wasn’t comfortable with the cannibalization that I saw in the Democratic party. But I am comfortable if he made this decision with his inner circle, with Dr. Jill Biden, with his family, and decided to do it on his own.”
Ana Navarro then threw in her two cents, explaining that she was “sad” and “is full of gratitude to Joe Biden.”
“I was sad, you know, in the way that when you see a champion athlete retire, leave it all on the field, and walk away into the sunset. That made me sad. It gave me nostalgia,” Navarro said.
“I was also mad, because he’s been dragged relentlessly for three weeks, by some people who supposedly were his friends. I hope that a lot of those donors that went out and said all sorts of things about him come back with a big check now,” she continued, adding, “George Clooney.”
Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” is never shocked to hear how deluded the women of “The View” are.
“These were the people that have been running cover for him for years, and now they are going to applaud him for being a hero as their other compatriots — the Obamas and everyone else — push the man out,” Rubin says.
“There is just simply no way he has been acting as president for months now, if not longer,” he adds.

If Democrats Want A New Nominee, They Need To Use The 25th Amendment
The only acceptable excuse for rejecting Democrat primary voters' decision is if Biden is constitutionally unable to serve as president.
What Obama chose not to do about George Clooney's essay speaks louder than any words could: 'Eye-popping revelation'
Former President Barack Obama reportedly did not stop Hollywood icon George Clooney from going public with his call for President Joe Biden to step aside as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.
On Wednesday, Clooney published a candid essay in the New York Times urging Biden to step aside, a decision Clooney said is necessary to "save democracy."
'The Biden campaign and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate this.'
"It's devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe 'big F-ing deal' Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate," Clooney wrote.
It's big news that Clooney — a major Democratic Party donor — wants Biden to stand down. But it's even bigger news that Obama reportedly did not stop Clooney from going public with his concerns.
According to Politico's Playbook, Clooney reached out to Obama to give him a "heads-up" that he wanted to share his concerns about Biden and his belief that Democrats are better off if Biden steps aside.
Obama could have asked Clooney to remain silent — but that's not the path he chose.
"While Obama did not encourage or advise Clooney to say what he said, he also didn’t object to it, we’re told from people familiar with their exchange," Politico reported.
"The lack of pushback is an eye-popping revelation," Politico explained, because Obama is one of Biden's chief defenders — at least in public. Obama even defended Biden after his disastrous debate performance last month, advancing the White House talking point that Biden simply experienced a "bad night."
Clooney's essay — and Obama's apparent decision not to intervene — is yet more evidence of deep cracks within the Democratic Party's ranks.
Not only are an increasing number of rank-and-file Democrats calling on Biden to step aside, but now even Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), one of the party's most influential leaders, is breaking away from Biden.
Sources told Politico that, privately, Pelosi has said she doesn't think Biden can defeat Donald Trump on Election Day. Moreover, Pelosi is reportedly encouraging Democrats in swing districts to do what they believe will best secure their chances at re-election, even if it means publicly opposing Biden's candidacy.
The fear is that Biden's liabilities will hurt down-ballot Democrats, blocking them from re-taking the House majority.
— (@)
For his part, Biden told Democrats this week that he is committed to running for re-election.
"I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Trump," Biden told congressional Democrats in a letter.
Meanwhile, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, a close friend of Biden, claimed Thursday that Obama's decision not to intervene is consistent with what he is allegedly doing behind the scenes.
"The Biden campaign and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate this," Scarborough said.

George Clooney helps raise $28 MILLION for Biden — then joins push to OUST him
President Joe Biden may continue to claim he’s fit to remain president, but his supporters aren’t so sure.
In a recent New York Times op-ed titled, “George Clooney: I love Joe Biden. But we need a new nominee,” Clooney makes the case for Biden stepping down and allowing another Democrat to take on Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
“I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as a president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. ... In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced. ... But one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can,” Clooney wrote in the op-ed.
“It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate,” Clooney continued.
“Joe Biden is a hero; he saved democracy in 2020. We need him to do it again in 2024,” he concluded.
While Sara Gonzales and Dave Rubin agree that Biden is unfit to be in the White House, they’re not totally sold on Clooney’s little think piece.
“How many shots of Casamigos did he have before he wrote that thing,” Rubin jokes, while Gonzales laughs. “First off, Joe Biden did not save democracy. Secondly, he has not done anything positive, if you really care about America, in the three-and-a-half years of this sham, absurd administration.”
Rubin believes this all actually has “something to do with Barack Obama.”
“At the end of that event, the way he carried him offstage,” Rubin explains. “The way he put his arm around him was so condescending, and that was Obama to me, signaling to everybody, 'Don’t worry, this is really me in charge.'”
“They’re realizing, 'Uh-oh, Biden is not going to win so we better replace him quick so that we have a chance for Barack to have his fourth term,'” he adds.
Gonzales notes that on May 20, Clooney called a top White House official to complain about Biden condemning the ICC and calling its arrest warrants outrageous “because Joe Biden was dissing his wife.”
Strangely enough, Clooney also threw a massive fundraiser with Biden, where together they raised around $28 million for the Biden campaign.
“Then shortly afterwards, we hear George Clooney is all of a sudden like, ‘Oh, you know, changed my mind,’” Gonzales says, wondering what's really behind the sudden change.
