Horror show: 'The View' too scary for conservatives, boasts Behar
Talk about a booby prize.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently declared war on the GOP on several fronts, and instead of a trophy or plaque, she’ll get the honor of matching wits with those doyennes of derangement on "The View" next week.
The ever-present smile. The blazing hypocrisy. The fact that 'Escape from New York' is getting an all-too real sequel starting ASAP.
Apparently, Taylor Greene’s recent ideological about-face makes her the perfect conservative foil on a show that tends to veer — if not careen — left.
Co-host Joy Behar recently griped that the show can't book right-leaning guests because, "They're scared of us."
Sure, Joy. Just like I'm "scared" of the 8-year-old Minecraft zombies who'll be knocking on my door for Kit-Kats tonight.
Here's a trick to make "The View" more compelling — stop treating guests who don't agree with you like fun-size Snickers bars. It's OK to have more than one.
Pretty payday
Julia Roberts is a genius. Or at least, her agent is.
The Oscar winner isn’t as active in Hollywood as in her box office heyday, but she still convinced a movie studio to pay her $20 million for her to star in “After the Hunt.”
The Me Too-themed drama cast Roberts as a professor torn between a trusted colleague (Andrew Garfield) and a bright student (Ayo Edebiri), who claims said colleague sexually assaulted her.
The film has made just $9 million worldwide and is already fading after two weeks of release. The budget? A reported $80 million, including that hefty price tag for the erstwhile “Pretty Woman.”
Paying 1995 rates in 2025 — when even the most beloved Oscar-winner can't guarantee butts in seats? Well, Hollywood is the land of make-believe.
Billion-dollar baby
You first, Billie.
Androgynous crooner Billie Eilish is taking a bold stand against billionaires. The “Bad Guy” singer addressed a room full of rich, powerful people to accept an “innovator” award from the Wall Street Journal Magazine. Said room included mega billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, apparently.
She used the moment to lecture the ultra rich.
“Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. ... If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.”
Set aside the economic ignorance, the body shaming, and the fact that she’s a millionaire many times over. She just cut a gargantuan check to help defeat, check notes, "climate justice." Why not just go full Joker and set a mountain of cash on fire? At least she could write a song about it …

Don't mess with the Zohran
There’s nothing funny about the rise of Zohran Mamdani.
The future New York City mayor is a terror apologist, an anti-Israel zealot, and an economic illiterate. There’s more, but you get the picture. Still, political satirists should have a field day with Mamdani on so many levels.
The ever-present smile. The blazing hypocrisy. The fact that “Escape from New York” is getting an all-too real sequel starting ASAP.
Instead, comedians are standing down. Anyone shocked? A new study by Newsbusters shows that late-night comics are targeting everyone else in the crowded New York mayoral race save Mamdani.
“Only three out of 63 jokes were about the socialist front-runner,” the site tallied. And that doesn’t count comedian turned shill Jon Stewart comparing Mamdani to Jackie Robinson …
Kim K's moonshot
Reality stars say the darndest things.
It’s easy to poke fun at Kim Kardashian for her choice in suitors. That Kanye West pairing didn’t end well, did it?
Still, Ms. Kim is a savvy business person who transformed a sordid sex tape into a reality show empire. Just don’t ask her to teach a history class anytime soon.
Kardashian is co-starring with actress Sarah Paulson on the TV show “All’s Fair,” and apparently the two are quite chatty behind the scenes. Kardashian loves sharing her conspiracy theories with her co-star, including her belief that America never landed on the moon.
She pointed to a clip of Buzz Aldrin mishearing a question as part of her “proof.” In her defense, maybe she’s trying to recruit Candace Owens to her next reality show gig ...
'Fack' all
Comedy is truly on the comeback trail.
The woke mind virus is fading. Roasts are back in vogue. The recent “Naked Gun” reboot was funnier than anyone expected. Now, a new trailer for a “Downton Abbey” spoof looks like the year’s brightest surprise.
“Fackham Hall,” hitting theaters December 5, packs more laughs in its two-minute running time than some mainstream comedies. The physical shtick is priceless, and the oh, so stuffy “Downton Abbey” vibe begs for a good satirical swatting.
At this rate, even Jimmy Kimmel might make us laugh before 2025 ends.
Democrats melt down over Trump’s private-funded White House ballroom
President Donald Trump’s plan to build a grand new White House ballroom is underway, and the media and celebrity class have melted down into unhinged hysterics, per usual.
In a segment on “The View,” former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre resurfaced to join the madness, telling the always-rational panel that “the people’s house is basically being sold to the highest bidder.”
“It is corruption at its core. And I heard someone say this when I was backstage. It could not be, there’s no greater metaphor right now than what’s happening right now in this country than watching Donald Trump take a wrecking ball to the White House,” she added.
“But why do they let him get away with it? He has all of these people who just let him get away with whatever he wants to do,” Joy Behar chimed in.
“That’s what he’s been doing for the nine, ten months, like the powers that are in the D.C. are not standing up. They’re acting as if they’re powerless ... like no, you all have power. You all have power. Do something with it,” Jean-Pierre added.
“I will note,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere says on “Stu Does America,” “for a woman who constantly read every single answer she gave while she was in the White House and was the press secretary, you have to love her saying that she heard her point that she made on 'The View' from someone backstage, proving she’s never had an original thought in her entire life.”
Maria Shriver also weighed in on Trump’s renovation, writing in a post on X: “This breaks my heart and it infuriates me. Hundreds of millions of dollars to build a new ballroom. Good god.”
“Someone who just knows frugality,” Burguiere jokes.
However, the bill for the renovations is not being laid at the taxpayers feet, rather, it’s all privately donated — which is why the construction has continued despite the government shutdown.
“All the reporters that normally would be complaining about the shutdown because Republicans were responsible for it now have nothing to do because they can’t complain about the Democratic shutdown. So they’re just going to take pictures of the White House and complain about that,” Stu says.

Sunny Hostin says she brought her son to the police to prevent harassment calls from her all-white neighborhood
In a bizarre moment on "The View," co-host Sunny Hostin offered her paranoia about racism from her white neighbors as evidence of racial tension in America.
The hosts were discussing a newly released Netflix documentary titled "The Perfect Neighbor," about a white woman who shot her black female neighbor in Florida, when Hostin made the comments. They described the documentary as "heart-wrenching" and "powerful."
'I know that black boys are not given the presumption of innocence and the presumption of youth.'
Hostin told the story in the context that the black mother who was shot had also gone to defend her child from racist harassment.
"As a mother of black children, I know that black boys are not given the presumption of innocence and the presumption of youth," Hostin said.
She then offered the story about her son.
"For me, what was interesting was I have had to be in the position where I have gone to my local police department because I know my son is going to be training for the Junior Olympics — running around the neighborhood in an all-white neighborhood — and I have brought him to the police and said, ‘He belongs to me; this is my son. Do not harass him; do not stop him,'" she recalled.
"So she was doing what so many black mothers do," Hostin added.
Video of the comments was posted to social media, where many users responded with ridicule.
"Ironic. She makes the absolute worst assumptions about her White Neighbors having the absolute worst assumptions about her," read one response.
"Her accusation isn't remotely credible. She could easily choose to live in an all-black neighborhood and see how safe for son is then," responded another user.
"This is the kind of delusional performance that’s made The View a circus instead of a serious show," read another response. "Sunny Hostin turns every personal anecdote into some grand race narrative like she’s living in a 1950s movie instead of a multimillion-dollar mansion."

Others, however, offered their own stories in confirmation of the bias Hostin was describing.
"It happens. I live in a gated community, and I have been there for over 13 years, and they still call the local police on me while I am out walking my dog at least 3 times a month," responded another user. "It has gotten to the point where I know all the cops by name, and they know mine."
The entire segment about the documentary can be viewed on the show's YouTube channel.

‘The View’ co-hosts try to humiliate Cheryl Hines over vaccines and RFK Jr.— and fail miserably
If the show “The View” isn’t paid for by advertising from pharmaceutical companies, you’d never know, because they defend vaccines with a tenacity that can only be rivaled by the manufacturers themselves.
And in a recent interview with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s wife, Cheryl Hines, the panel could not have fought harder in favor of those pharmaceutical companies — never once grazing the truth despite minutes of speaking over Hines.
“You know, Cheryl, it’s not fair to really put you on the spot about him because you’re his wife. I know that. But when you say that they are pro-vaccine, it seems as though Bobby and Trump are casting doubt on the efficacy of the vaccine, which makes Americans very nervous,” co-host Joy Behar said.
“So, that’s the problem that we’re having,” she added.
“It’s interesting because I don’t know if you saw ‘60 Minutes’ just did a piece about the vaccine injury compensation program. So, people that have had vaccine injuries can be compensated if they can prove it. And they have paid out $5.4 billion for vaccine injuries,” Hines replied.
“So, my question is, can we do better?” she asked.
“Is it all vaccines or just the COVID vaccine?” Whoopi Goldberg interjected, to which Hines replied, “It’s all vaccines.”
“So, the question is — yes to vaccines. Yes, they are important, and they are an important part of our health care. Can we do better? Can we make them safer? Can we listen to parents who say, ‘My child got the vaccine and changed and stopped hitting markers, stopped developing the way they were developing.’ Can we listen to people when they say that instead of saying, ‘You’re crazy?’” Hines continued.
But that wasn’t all the ladies of ‘The View’ went after Hines for.
Sunny Hostin called RFK the “least qualified Department of Health and Human Services head that we’ve had in history,” lamenting that this is “very dangerous.”
Having previously pointed out that Obama’s head of HHS was an economist, Hines responded, “Why is he less qualified than an economist?”
“He has spent his career studying toxins, studying people’s health, fighting for one guy who was using Roundup for his job,” Hines continued.
“He has also spread a lot of misinformation, a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion. And I think it’s just a very dangerous thing,” Hostin continued, adding, “and I say it with the utmost respect.”
BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales isn’t shocked by what she’s hearing from the women on ‘The View,’ but she is disgusted.
“‘The utmost respect,’” she mocks. “Like, it’s just so tacky. ‘With all due respect, I actually think your husband is a terrible ... person.’ Like, you can’t just say stuff like that. And it’s just so laughable.”
Gonzales points out that Joe Biden’s HHS secretary was Xavier Becerra, who had zero medical background.
“He was also a former politician and a lawyer. And the closest thing that he came to anything health-related was bringing felony charges against the Center for Medical Progress activists who exposed Planned Parenthood for allegedly selling fetal tissue,” Gonzales explains.
Not only that, but Biden’s assistant secretary for health was “Rachel” Levine — a transgender woman.
“That just tells you all you need to know about all of these recent Health and Human Services secretaries who haven’t given a s**t that we have become more sick,” Gonzales says, “We have become sicker than ever before.”
