If you were not frozen in PC liberalism backlash fear of the gay mafia….. and you saw this picture of your son’s School Teacher – – – on your son’s facebook page – – – talking to his students… talking to your son…

….. What would you do?

The school’s opinion of the “teacher, debate coach, and guide for their children” is:

[…]  “There is honestly nobody more hardworking and passionate than Mr. Cruz,” the debate club’s president wrote on the team’s Facebook in January. “He works tirelessly to maximize our competitive success, and he seldom gets enough recognition. Let’s all take a moment to congratulate one of the speech and debate community’s most successful, ambitious, and selfless coaches.”…

Yeah, sure he does. He also does some other stuff. (more…)

The SNL “skit” is a takeoff on a mainstream commercial for Toyota Camry. Named “My Bold Dad” the Toyota commercial features a father driving his daughter to the airport so she can join the U.S. Army.

The NBC/SNL parody takes a knock at the military by showcasing an actress who “didn’t graduate High School” as a the NBC view of military enrollees. However, it then goes a step further with the ISIS Jihadist angle.

More concerning than the ridiculous SNL delivery is the thought that more than one person in NBC had to think this was actually a good idea, and approve it.

Sometimes humor can walk a precarious edge, and we are not even remotely the humor police.  In this case, however, the humor is lost – it’s just not funny.  Apparently NBC doesn’t actually recognize that ISIS is holding hostages, real people, including Americans’…. and brutally, currently, visibly, killing them.

Because it’s oh so enlightening and progressive to wax yearningly about the plight of the oppressed and downtrodden, the Huffington Post pontificates the dream of erasing the oppressive White Man from the Oscar’s…

(Via HuffPo) This year marks the whitest Oscars since 1998, with all 20 acting nominations given to white folks. Equally awesome: Zero female directors, screenwriters, or cinematographers were nominated, and according to Women’s Media Center, among the 184 nominees across 19 non-acting categories, only 35 are women.

And so the Academy Award goes to… white dudes. This stark imbalance in both racial and gender diversity in Hollywood is manifested visually on the posters that represent the biggest films of the year. More often than not, white men are selected as the representatives for the movies they star in, even when they have equally signifigant female costars. (read more)

This should come as no surprise now that Hollywood has conceded to Al Sharpton.

Hollywood (United States) (AFP) – African-American civil rights groups plan to protest outside Sunday’s Oscars show, where every single one of this year’s 20 acting nominees is white.
However small, the demonstration will revive debate about diversity at the Oscars-awarding Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, whose voting members are overwhelmingly white and with an average age in their 60s.
“The goal of the protest is to send a message to the Academy, send a message to Hollywood, send a message to the film industry,” said Earl Ofari Hutchinson, head of the LA Urban Policy Roundtable group. (more…)

President Barack Obama made a video appearance during Sunday night’s Grammy Awards to call on Americans to end sexual violence, saying, “It’s not OK, and it has to stop.”
Obama asked artists at the Grammys to urge their fans to join Obama administration’s “It’s On Us” campaign targeted at college campuses, which began in September. “Artists have a unique power to change minds and attitudes and get us talking about what matters,” he said.
“It’s on us, all of us, to create a culture where violence isn’t tolerated, where survivors are supported and where all our young people — men and women — can go as far as their talents and their dreams will take them,” Obama said in the video. (NBC)

Now, riddle me this. Who do you think is: • President Obama’s personal friend; • a famous Grammy Award Winning performer who President Obama used to sing lip sync at his 2nd inaugural address; • and a person pictured below in the situation room? (more…)

A few days ago Nancy Pelosi responded to a question about why Democrats were boycotting the speech by Benjamin Netanyahu. Pelosi responded by saying that Democrats are very busy right now, “too busy to engage with foreign leaders“.
Well,….

“Too busy”… must mean attending the Grammy Awards and other similarly important stuff, or something.

CALIFORNIA – Bruce Jenner was involved in a fatal multi-car collision in Malibu, CA, according to Post sources.

One person was dead in the crash, said the sources. Jenner’s blue Cadillac Escalade suffered damage to its front. A white Lexus and a black Hummer were also damaged. The accident happened at about noon. Jenner’s Escalade was towing an off-road dune buggy, said witness Keoni Picerno. (more…)

You can’t make this stuff up. Ashley Judd actually believes Hillary Clinton is the most qualified candidate for President since Thomas Jefferson or George Washington.

Based on ‘what’ exactly? An ideological first lady who leveraged her political influence into a New York Senate bid, which led to an actual presidential campaign based on absolutely ZERO executive experience; which immediately created an appointment to become the most failed person executing foreign policy as Secretary of State.
Anyone remember the WikiLeaks Cable leaks/controversy in her first years’ tenure?… Which led to an entire wasted year of diplomatic apology…. Then came the Libyan fiasco which led to Benghazi…. etc. And we cannot forget the support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt…..  What exactly would anyone call a success during Hillary’s entire political life?
Perhaps we should ask the Egyptian people (more…)

HOLLYWOOD – American Sniper has set its sights on another record: Within a matter of days, it will overtake Steven Spielberg’s WWII classic Saving Private Ryan to become the top-grossing war-themed film of all time in North America, not accounting for inflation.
Clint Eastwood’s history-making movie jumped the $200 million mark on Sunday, putting it ahead of Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor, another WWII title topping out at $198.5 million domestically in 2001. American Sniper is distinct from those two film in being set during a modern-day conflict.
Saving Private Ryan, released in 1998, earned $216.7 million […] Sniper will cross $216 million sometime this week for Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow. (more…)

Love, love, love, this little insider peek:

[Warner Bros. Distribution President Dan Fellman] joyfully recounted the phone call he placed to Eastwood last weekend, when he said “Clint, this is your biggest [opening] weekend ever.”
How’d he respond? “He’s the coolest dude on the planet, you know,” Fellman said. “He said, ‘Gee, man, that’s great.'”
Warner Bros. has been in business with Eastwood for many years, Fellman added — but “this kind of thing certainly required a phone call to the house.”

CNN MONEY – […] Indeed, it’s commanded the attention of the entire motion picture industry — and that attention is now turning toward this weekend, when the movie expands to 3,705 screens, 150 more than it was on last weekend.
The new record: this is the “widest release ever for an R-rated movie,” according to the definitive industry news site Box Office Mojo. (more…)
