Staying woke on what’s acceptable and what’s racist is an ongoing process of shifting standards, as a Rolling Stone writer proved with the latest addition to terms that have surprisingly been branded as bigotry: “pro-life.” Jamil Smith, a senior writer who covers “the intersection of politics and identity” for the magazine, opined on Twitter Wednesday that the term “pro-life” deserves to be banished along with other recently outlawed characters and words. A wave of racial sensitivity brought on by the Black Lives Matter protest movement has already brought down decades-old consumer products brands such as Uncle Ben’s rice, and forced the renaming […]
Devin Nunes was with Elizabeth MacDonald on FOX Business yesterday and he addressed the same question that many people have had since last weekend’s op-ed in the Washington Post supposedly drafted by corrupt cop and senile Robert Mueller. How did he ever even write the op-ed? Representative Devin Nunes was on FOX Business yesterday and he shared what many of us were wondering: Mueller should be subpoenaed. If I was Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee that subpoena would have went out a week ago. Mueller didn’t know what the heck was going on, he didn’t even know his own […]
Top rated Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson announced a “long planned” trout fishing vacation Monday night after a senior writer on his show Blake Neff resigned in disgrace after racist and sexist comments he posted anonymously online were exposed by CNN late last week. Carlson said Brian Kilmeade would be filling in the next four nights and that taped segments would be shown. Carlson held out the possibility of returning sooner “if something dramatic happens”. Carlson addressed the resignation of Neff and his own vacation plans in separate segments on Monday’s show. Here’s how @TuckerCarlson addressed his former top writer […]
Donald Trump niece Mary Trump’s new book ‘Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man’ will be released next Tuesday amid what its publisher has said is “high demand and extraordinary interest.” The book is the latest in a long list of similar, negative tell-all exposes on Trump released during his presidency. Mary Trump’s new expose on her uncle has shot up to number one on Amazon’s most sold books list before even being released. Previews of the book released to the media this week promise to reveal a number of new and highly personal […]
When federal prosecutors charged Jack Abramoff on Thursday with an illicit conspiracy to promote a cryptocurrency, they alleged that the disgraced lobbyist hired writers to help him with his scheme. The indictment did not name names. But new court documents point squarely to an employee of The Daily Caller and other conservative media outlets. Abramoff, who served almost four years in prison for his wide-ranging Washington influence peddling schemes, found himself in legal hot water again this week for his attempts to promote AML Bitcoin, a supposedly “anti-money laundering” cryptocurrency created by Texan businessman Marcus Andrade. As part of his duties, Abramoff […]
Why didn’t we think of this? With the Harrods Food Hall closed, a nanny blocking up one of the two spare bedrooms in her expensive London home, and being forced to rely on pricey chess tutors to occupy her children, Shruti Advani, a wealthy writer for the Financial Times, says she was able to relieve at least some of the anguish of lockdown by one simple measure: tripling her weekly order of freshly cut flowers. Advani became an object of derision, outrage and disbelief on Wednesday after she penned an ill-advised column for the FT’s Wealth section in which she gloated […]
Screenwriter Jas Waters died this week by suicide at the age of 39. During her career, Waters wrote for series including The Breaks, This Is Us, and Kidding. Waters’ success in the industry was no guarantee—but as This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman wrote in a tribute following her death, she “made an indelible mark.” Shadow & Act described Waters with one word during an interview a few years ago: audacious. Waters was raised by her father and grandmother. Until the age of 16, she shared a pull-out bed with her grandmother in a retirement home. “A billion things had to […]
Law enforcement officers are executing a search warrant Tuesday on the home of Chad Daybell, the doomsday author whose first wife died under mysterious circumstances and whose second wife has refused to cooperate with the investigation into her two missing children. The Rexburg, Idaho, Police Department said the FBI is assisting in the search. Details about what police are looking for have not been released because the warrant is sealed. J.J. Vallow, 7, and Tylee Ryan, 17, have not been seen since September and police have said their lives are in danger. Their mother, Lori Vallow, is being held in an […]

Support for the movement has also invited protests like those in the US, to draw attention to the alleged mistreatment of minorities in India. Bengaluru police have booked an Indian writer, journalist and former Amnesty International official Aakar Patel, for allegedly provoking people from minority communities to launch a nationwide protest in a post on Twitter. Patel had retweeted video clips of protests posted by The […]
