I just put myself through something I don’t recommend to anyone: I watched the Golden Globes. I don’t recommend it, especially if you’re prone to eye rolling or vomiting which have been known to be exacerbated by prolonged exposure to self-righteous Hollywood leftists, but I am a trained professional so, with Visine and a bucket at the ready, I was able to survive it to tell my tale. And the only takeaway from the night is the fact that liberals are awful people who hate themselves, each other, and the country.
Right from the start it was clear this was going to be awful. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted together, because neither seems capable of doing anything on their own. You’d think having two hosts, both of whom are billed as the funniest women in the business, would make for some comedy. If you thought that, you would be wrong.
They aren’t good, either as hosts or performers. As performers, they make the cast of the Twilight movies seem like they have range (seriously, watch anything they’ve done and they both play the same characters every single time). As hosts, they simply aren’t funny. The entertainment press insists they are, and they sometimes were on Saturday Night Live, but they’ve gone their whole careers milking that time and their genders. If they weren’t outspoken liberals and women, they’d be holding reunions with Melanie Hutsell, Victoria Jackson, and all the other forgettable people who stunk up that show over the years.
But the hosts, while awful, weren’t the worst part of the ceremony.
In their opening monologue, Fey and Poehler “ripped” the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) for its “lack of diversity.” Apparently, there are no black members of the 90ish HFPA. No one cares, and no one would have known had it not been a recurring theme throughout the 3-hour Zoom call from hell. It got more mentions than publicists were thanked.
Even the suits from the HFPA, who are always dragged out on stage to give the “this is who we are” spiel, self-flagellated about their “lack of diversity, even though they are all ethnic minorities themselves.
Why doesn’t the HFPA have any black members? Who knows and who cares? I watched three members of it on TV a couple of hours ago and I already couldn’t tell you anything about them, and it doesn’t matter. Maybe no black foreign press writers covering entertainment wanted to join? Maybe all the members of the HFPA are horrible racists. Whatever it is, if it’s something they want to change, they can just change it. The audience doesn’t need to be a part of the HFPA’s administrative work.
Yet, winner after winner made crack after crack about this. None refused their award from this horribly racist organization and eventually thanked them. If they really cared, would they have done this?
When not attacking the organization giving them awards and adding zeroes to their future paychecks (Golden Globe Award-Winning such and such is good for mattering for at least three movies, just being nominated can be billed for one or two), they were spewing typical left-wing talking points about unfairness and how awful various Republicans are.
Some of this could be forgiven if it were at least entertaining or funny, but it wasn’t. Sacha Baron Cohen, who can be funny, simply wasn’t as he took swipes at the right and the country. Rosamund Pike, another Britt, joined in. As did noted crack addict Aaron Sorkin, and many more. Jane Fonda and Norman Lear, who have spent their careers attacking conservatives and the country, were given lifetime achievement awards.
If these people believe the HFPA is so racist, and that Hollywood itself doesn’t give enough “representation” to various groups of people, why aren’t any of them giving up their jobs so a member of the oppressed group they seem to favor can have it? More broadly, why is Hollywood so racist?
Hollywood elites love to lecture about a lack of diversity in their industry, but who runs that industry? Who holds all the power in that industry? Liberals do. The fastest way to ruin your career is to not conform with anything the progressive movement demands. If they want to make more movies with black stars, they are the people who make all the movies! They could do it, they could change it. They don’t. Tells you something, doesn’t it?
Every awards season we get virtue-signaling speeches from people unwilling to do anything about an issue only they can address. They don’t because they don’t mean it.
When Harvey Weinstein was publicly exposed as what everyone in Hollywood knew him to be, we were inundated with “this is a societal problem” statements from the enablers. Well, it’s not a societal problem – people outside of Hollywood didn’t know (for sure) what monsters moviemakers were. People in the rest of the country don’t routinely play grab-ass in their office or use their positions for sexual favors. Nor do they discriminate about race or simply pay lip service to despising bigotry in all its forms. That’s the domain of the coastal liberal elite, almost exclusively.
Sunday’s Golden Globes were only the latest example of this, the left has made virtue-signaling their new favorite pastime, smearing the country and their fellow Americans to distract from their own hypocritical behavior. These liberal Hollywood elites truly do hate America. Return the favor.
That’s ok , we hate the Hollywood pukes guts too.
What goes around comes around..
The favor was returned.
Ratings sucked. Lowest on record.
WTG, Hollyweird.
My advice: #LearnToCode
Not a very bright bunch. Their bread a butter for the most part is the America people. But biting the hands that feed you doesn’t register. Just like sports you aspire to a higher consciousness of woke while not including yourselves and in the real world, without thinking of the consequences.
For the next few years they should make big budget movies with black stars and force China to show them..China is more racist than the KKK..That’s why the stars love to talk about diversity ,but never get onboard for it..CHINA
I'm sure they're crying all the way to the bank over it, because as long as we're paying for TV, we're putting money into their pockets.
I haven’t seen their ratings yet. Anyone have them?
I support and appreciate pdjt. He will get my vote and contributions again. But we need additional and younger candidates of similar mindset, too. We will all lose out badly if we ever fall into the DemoNaziCommie trap of making this reform/restoration movement all about one person (no matter how great he is).
Like the fake news media, they are owned by large conglomerates headed up by leftists/globalists. Many of them mouth the words that they need to in order to find work. Personally, I haven’t been to a movie in years, and watch very little tv other than selected sports. I just can’t see the benefit of giving them any of my money.
Hollywood. Populated by those who specialize in group think. Those whose beliefs are governed by what’s stylish among their peers. Where original thought is considered a sin. Where contradictory thoughts are suppressed by fear. Where cowards rule supreme. Where self-righteous indignation justifies your self-worth. Perhaps the most incestuous segment of today’s society. Hollywood, where celebrity is valued above all. Where vanity is valued. Where corruption and perversion are requisite. The lens through which America has come to see itself.
These liberal Hollywood elites truly do hate America. Return the favor.
Done!
It’s getting tough to find any relatively current movies or TV that are watchable (without being constantly bombarded by wokeism or “America is bad” or “white people - especially white males are bad”..
Sooo..we’re watching mostly re-runs of old (70s, 80s and 90s) shows via streaming services. The one exception we’ve found is Seal Team on CBS, that’s still pretty traditional in terms of America being the good guys. Lots of “toxic masculinity” (LOL) and patriotism in that one.
For the most part, movies started to really go downhill in the late 90s. TV wasn’t far behind.
I had to cut cable after I was laid off & have antenna only now. I miss the TCM & Discovery channels & being able to pick a movie to watch but nothing else. News? FR & other conservative sites. Sports? Local covers it fine.
More need to cut the cord & put these companies out of business. I’ve realized that’s the best part of antennas.
Wasn't she arrested for pedophilia? What the hell kind of an SOB wants to appear on national TV in the same frame with that jerk? Seriously-who even wants to listen to her or watch her??
FTA: both of whom are billed as the funniest women in the business
Tina Fey “won” the Mark Twain award over people who are actually funny like Carol Burnett. I wonder how much money changed hands?
Tina Fey (2010)
Carol Burnett (2013)

#15 Get a ROKU box and get the FREE Pluto TV app.
Many many shows to watch.

He was wrong to demean Victoria Jackson. She’s a Christian conservative and has been an outspoken patriot for many years (Politichicks, which is now Paul Greenfield’s base). She’s been low key the last few dealing with breast cancer that required double mastectomy. Married her high school sweetheart, a now-retired SWAT officer, later in life and settled in Nashville, TN.
Thanks for the info. I have Roku tv so it should be easy to starting the streaming.
