If you’ve already pushed one massive hoax across cable news for years, why not consider another?
Rachel Maddow doesn’t seem to abide by that logic.
Joining Stephen Colbert this week, she promoted yet another conspiracy theory linked to Trump. Together on “The Late Show,” they speculated that Trump and his followers want to eliminate future elections in 2026 and 2028.
And their proof? Well, it’s pretty much non-existent. It’s a mix of wild guesses and corporate narratives, with little regard for reality. But then again, this is a comedy show at the end of the day.
Either Maddow is determined to sacrifice her credibility, or she’s trying out for “The View.”
The long-running “Law”
Dum-dummmm!
It’s often said that the only constants in life are death and taxes. You can add the “Law & Order” TV show to that list. This enduring series, which began in 1990, has been granted another season, marking its 25th year. Although it took a break in 2010, it returned in 2021.
Oh, and “Law & Order: SVU” received a renewal as well, extending its run to an impressive 27 seasons.
Seems like it’s working out well for the prosecutors funded by George Soros. Known for its timely plotlines pulled straight from the headlines, this show certainly keeps its audience engaged.
Marvel’s “great” mishap
Here we go again.
The MCU’s “Captain America: Brave New World” is undergoing significant re-shoots ahead of its February release. And, honestly, it’s showing. These re-shoots, unfortunately, have added to the list of concerns surrounding the project. This seems to place it far behind other successes within the franchise.
Now, we hear that “Fantastic Four: First Step” is slated for similar re-shoots just weeks before its July 25th launch.
This follows a string of unfortunate statements from some cast members. Co-stars Vanessa Kirby and Joseph Quinn created quite a stir regarding the source material in a viral interview. One has to wonder if they’ve taken a page from Rachel Zegler’s book.
To top it off, Pedro Pascal, who plays Mr. Fantastic, made waves with comments about J.K. Rowling, boldly supporting women in sports while also donning a “protect trans kids” t-shirt.
We’ve already faced two unsuccessful attempts to bring the Marvel Comics world to the big screen. Three strikes, and it looks like the cast might need to reassess.
Bargatze’s bold take
Nate Bargatze is known for his light-hearted comedy.
This clean stand-up star, whose humor appeals to all ages, avoids political jabs and R-rated material. He simply observes modern life and manages to fill arenas because of it.
Yet, he recently felt the urge to criticize Disney during an interview with Esquire Magazine. He mentioned multiple influential figures, referencing Walt Disney but not in relation to the current leadership.
“Disney is now run by a businessman who doesn’t seem to care about the audience,” he remarked.
I can’t help but think, did he really need to go there?
Biden’s appearances
When diversity of thought seems lost…
President Joe Biden continued his awkward tour on “The View” this week, coinciding with his latest book’s release that aims to address doubts about his cognitive state during his presidency.
Even “The View’s” gentle questioning couldn’t shield Biden from his own missteps. His appearance did little to help restore his image, and rather uncomfortably highlighted his struggles.
Biden seemed to falter, allowing Jill Biden to step in to answer questions about his cognitive competence. I mean, at one point, he just looked blank.
It raises questions about whether he is experiencing some decline. But maybe that’s just a perception issue, right?
