SUPER FLOP: Sneering ‘Supergirl’ flees multiplex for home streaming
Turns out Supergirl is faster than a speeding bullet.
One of the summer’s biggest flops is heading to home video — already.
'I said it last night, but I’ll say it again. Man I’m so tired of this f**king president.'
“Supergirl,” the latest Hollywood clunker, will be available via VOD platforms starting July 28. The movie earned tepid reviews and gave YouTube channels endless content. The film also recalled Jay Sherman’s signature catchphrase from TV’s “The Critic”: “It stinks.”
The film barely crossed the $70 million mark domestically and will cost Warner Bros. more than $100 million in the final tally.
Star Milly Alcock did her best Rachel Zegler imitation during the publicity for the film. But nothing could save a movie with a lousy script and an unlikely heroine.
Somewhere, original Supergirl Helen Slater is smiling into her mug of Joe.
Jam bland
Dave Matthews wants in on that sweet, sweet Springsteen action. And by “action,” we mean lecturing concert-goers with anti-Trump screeds. The Boss has spent the last few months hectoring fans who paid huge sums to attend the singer’s current tour.
Some blue-collar hero.
Now, it’s Matthews’ turn. He’s using his stage time to tell fans what he thinks about President Donald Trump.
“I said it last night, but I’ll say it again. Man, I’m so tired of this f**king president.”
That’s not the only thing that’s exhausting lately.

Party line
Jimmy Fallon makes a mediocre Johnny Carson but a fine useful idiot.
“The Tonight Show” host has a habit of laundering Democrat talking points over the years. He covered up President Joe Biden’s decline, allowed Mike Bloomberg to use his NBC perch as a political ad, and hasn’t said much about the DSA politicians conquering the Democratic Party.
He’s useful to all the wrong people.
This week, he let actor/author John Leguizamo pitch his new children's book to the masses. Left unsaid? The book extols the virtues of Greta Thunberg and multiple communists, including Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Diego Rivera, and artist Frida Kahlo.
What’s next, a Hugo Chavez pop-up book? Just know Fallon will be first in line to promote it.
Joy ride
Joy Behar doesn’t remotely look her age. She’s 83. She still sounds like an old crank who sees conspiracies wherever she goes.
That may (may?) explain her newest anti-Trump rant. And, to her credit, it’s an original.
A stark raving mad original, to be exact. Behar used her “View” perch (which is totally a news program!) to suggest that the Saudis bought off President Donald Trump to make a nuclear bomb.
And said bomb might go off over Cleveland. What about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?
“… he's making a deal with the Saudi Arabians that will allow them to produce a nuclear weapon.”
Uh, no.
“Then we'll go to war with the 9/11 group. The Saudis were behind 9/11 and — and — are they waiting for him to drop a nuke on Cleveland? … Now I'm scared. See, I grew up hiding under the desk.”
It’s amazing her fellow “View” hosts aren’t hiding somewhere, anywhere, when she starts yapping.

Still the Captain
William Shatner is a legend. Full stop.
The 95-year-old’s “Star Trek” career sealed that deal. Add the eclectic music, a killer role on “Boston Legal,” and his endlessly joyful Twitter posts, and his legendary status is secure. Did we mention he has a running feud with far-left “Star Trek” alum George Takei?
Now, we’re learning he beat back stage-four cancer and helped his adult daughter do the same. The Shatners shared their remarkable story with People magazine.
Live long and prosper, indeed!
Swinging on a star
If you thought swinging from rooftops was hard, wait until you hear what actor Tom Holland must do next.
The “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” star goes from the MCU to classic Hollywood with the upcoming Fred Astaire biopic. And he won’t be using stunt doubles or AI to re-create Astaire’s signature elegance.
“I did my first few rehearsals recently. And it both filled me with excitement and absolute dread because I’ve got so much work to do to try and do Fred proud.”
Good luck, Peter Parker. You’re gonna need it.

2,500 reasons 'The View' is pure leftist propaganda — and 1 reason the FCC should leave it alone anyway
This just in from ABC: "The View" is a news program.
Yes, that’s the same “View” that traffics in more conspiracy theories than a tinfoil salesman at an Alex Jones convention.
In 2022, Goldberg claimed without evidence that the GOP planned to take select Americans’ voting rights away as well as a woman’s right to vote.
Ridiculous? Of course it is.
The surprising part isn't that ABC is saying it. It's that, for decades, the FCC has effectively treated it that way by exempting programs like "The View" from the agency's equal-time rules.
Now that long-standing interpretation is under attack — and while it's hard to argue with mocking the gynocentric gabfest's journalistic standards, the government shouldn't be deciding which shows qualify as "real" journalism.
News flush
The dispute traces back to January, when FCC Chairman Brendan Carr announced that late-night and daytime talk shows could no longer rely on a decades-old interpretation of the "bona fide news interview" exemption to the equal-time rule. Carr argued that broadcasters had stretched the exemption beyond recognition, saying legacy networks had treated their talk shows as news programs "even when motivated by purely partisan political purposes."
Congress created that exemption in 1959 after broadcasters warned that forcing equal time for every candidate interview would discourage political coverage altogether. Lawmakers ultimately concluded that preserving editorial discretion better served the public than having regulators second-guess programming decisions.
The first major test came a few weeks later. Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico appeared on "The View" months before his expected primary against Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). Under Carr's new interpretation, ABC could no longer simply assume the interview qualified for the exemption, prompting the FCC to investigate whether the appearance should have triggered equal-time obligations.
The effects were almost immediate. Citing the same regulatory uncertainty, CBS lawyers advised Stephen Colbert not to air a scheduled interview with Talarico on "The Late Show." Rather than risk an FCC dispute, Colbert released the interview on YouTube instead, where the agency has no jurisdiction. Whether you sympathize with Colbert or not, the episode demonstrated how quickly regulatory uncertainty can begin shaping editorial decisions.
Narrow 'View'
Carr's criticism wasn't pulled from thin air. The show's guest lineup is notoriously one-sided. According to the Media Research Center, last year "The View" hosted 128 liberal-leaning guests compared with just two conservatives. One of those two, actress Cheryl Hines, is generally considered "conservative" only because her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., serves in the Trump administration.
The guest tally merely scratches the surface. The Media Research Center has also cataloged nearly 2,500 examples of bias, misinformation and one-sided commentary on "The View." If Carr wanted evidence that the show resembles partisan advocacy more than journalism, he hardly had to look far.
The latest examples don't require a fact-checking degree to decipher — just functioning eyes and ears (a sense of humor doesn't hurt, either).
Whoopi world
Let’s start with Whoopi Goldberg. The Oscar winner has used her “View” pulpit to suggest President Donald Trump planned to separate interracial couples. Her proof? Zip … zero … nada. Nobody tell Usha Vance, an Indian-American woman and the second lady.
That kind of commentary is disqualifying on the surface. It’s doubly damning for a verifiable “news” outlet.
More recently, Goldberg and co-host Joy Behar railed against the GOP’s SAVE Act legislation, saying it’s deeply unpopular. Or as both Goldberg and Behar said into their live mics, “nobody wants it.”
Multiple recent polls show that more than 80% of the public want voters to show ID before voting, the thrust of the legislation.
Good luck finding more than 80% of Americans to agree on, well, anything (beyond a white-hot hatred for robocalls).
That’s not just a little bit off. It’s a major embarrassment, particularly for a “news” program.

Fact-chuckers
“The View” hosts also sit silently as guests utter the most unhinged comments without a fact-check or pushback. Earlier this year, Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) claimed the modern GOP was hell-bent on bringing back slavery.
The four “View” hosts couldn’t raise a single objection, nor ask the veteran Democrat to back up his outlandish claim. Would Walter Cronkite sit still while a guest uttered something so outrageous?
“And that’s the way it isn’t.”
The show’s coverage of Austin Metcalf’s shocking 2025 murder proved how dangerous — yes, dangerous — “The View’s” misinformation can be. Co-host Sunny Hostin lied about the weight disparity between Metcalf and his killer, Karmelo Anthony.
She also lied that Anthony was the only black person in the team’s tent area where the fatal stabbing occurred. Multiple black students were there at the time. Some even testified on behalf of the prosecution.
Some news program. Is it any wonder TikTok accounts repeat misinformation tied to the case?
Fake news fever
And this isn’t a recent problem. “The View” has been twisting the truth like a Bavarian pretzel for years. In 2022, Goldberg claimed without evidence that the GOP planned to take select Americans’ voting rights away as well as a woman’s right to vote.
Evidence? Proof? Hey, Goldberg starred in that adorable “Sister Act” series. That’s enough, apparently.
Two years ago, the same Goldberg said President Trump would throw Americans into camps, including gay Americans, and “disappear” them. Any update on that claim?
In other words, Carr has identified a real problem. His solution is the dangerous part.
Butt out
Treating "The View" as the equivalent of a bona fide news interview program stretches the term beyond recognition. But the government has no business deciding otherwise.
Those slopes can be mighty slippery.
The Twitter Files offered a preview of how quickly government officials can move from combatting misinformation to shaping public debate itself. The power to decide which outlets qualify as "real" journalism won't remain in the hands of today's regulators forever. Eventually it will belong to another administration with very different political priorities.
Conservatives, of all people, should understand that lesson. The power you give your friends today will eventually belong to your opponents.
More voices, not fewer. Even if some of those voices would make Cronkite spin like a top in his grave.
NO ONE predicted Joy Behar's shocking reaction to meeting JD Vance
In a stunning turn of events that no one predicted, Joy Behar may have told Vice President JD Vance he should run for president.
Vance had a wide-ranging interview with the women of "The View" on Wednesday, where he was challenged on many of his political opinions.
'Look, Joy Behar is way tougher than the Iranians — and she and I are best friends now.'
After the interview, Behar indicated that she thought Vance had a "good vibe" "for a Republican" and admitted that he is "intelligent" enough to make an "interesting" presidential candidate. She made the comments on the "Behind the Table" podcast about the show.
The show's executive producer, Brian Teta, asked Behar to discuss her private comments with Vance. Teta claimed Behar advised Vance off-camera to run for president, a claim Behar did not deny.
"I don't mind a Republican on the city level, because it needs a little discipline. But on the national level, I want somebody with a good heart, and those are more in the Democratic Party in my opinion," she clarified.
"They care about the poor. They help people," Behar claimed. "The Republican Party is much more about saving taxes for rich people. So I'm not a Republican."
Teta revealed that Vance had said he was more nervous about appearing on "The View" than he had been about the vice presidential debate in 2024 against Gov. Tim Walz. Behar went on to praise Vance even more.
"I don't think that he's a bad guy. So if he runs against, say, a [California Democrat Gov.] Gavin Newsom, that would be an interesting debate to see those two, because they're both intelligent," she added.
A video clip of the surprising interaction was posted to social media, where it garnered hundreds of thousands of views.
Vance even pointed to their unlikely friendship when commenting on the Iran peace deal during a White House media briefing on Thursday.

"I have seen some progressive criticisms of me personally, saying, 'What experience does the vice president of the United States have with hostile, high-stakes negotiations?'" said Vance at the podium.
"And I would point those progressive critics to the fact that just two days ago, I spent over an hour on 'The View.' So I actually have a great experience in very hostile negotiations!" he added. "I mean, look, Joy Behar is way tougher than the Iranians — and she and I are best friends now, so we're gonna get to a good place."
Video of his comments also received thousands of views.
