Matt Damon Is a Coward, and SNL Is Boring

I can’t believe he did it again. Matt Damon reprised his role as Brett Kavanaugh on Saturday Night Live. This time, the central joke of the unfunny skit was that Kavanaugh, Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel are all drunks. Damon as Kavanaugh was pounding beers and shots while he promised to give Trump a third term. Even the audience of trained seals sounded kind of lukewarm about it. I have striven not to talk or write about Kavanaugh anymore, even turning down a request that went on for six years to have me submit to a profile. (I eventually did say yes,

Here is every Matt Damon scene in Team America: World Police. "Matt Damon!" And just before his neck was snapped: "Mattdamonmattdamonmattdamon!!" He reads too much Howard Zinn. Cue: Sounds of balsa wood breaking or a box of saltine crackers being stepped on by a heavy fellow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKD1uyZVMFw

Related to #1, here's (the real) Jackie Chan, playing one of Han's thugs, getting his neck broken by Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon (1973). Poor Jackie character. Pure busted balsa. Or, if you prefer, smashed crackers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvHqIwCWjdg "Matt Damon," spoken reverentially. He was better as a puppet on strings.

I stopped watching when the original Not Ready For Prime Time players left the show and I haven’t missed it.

I'm so old that I can actually remember when SNL was funny and had talented comedy actors and actresses. That is LONG past, and third rate, unfunny crap has replaced it. I haven't watched SNL in at least 25 years, probably longer.

I pretty much hated Damon and his buddy Affleck for creating the lefty wet dream "Good Will Hunting". But Damon chose better roles than Affleck over the many years and I'd finally warmed up a little to boy Matt. I now feel like he's Lucy with the football, thanks asshat.

Same here poster # 3. And poster # 5, I turned off "Good Will Hunting" immediately when I heard Damon's character plugging Zinn's lie-fest with these unbelievable lines - "You wanna read a real history book? Read Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. That book’ll knock you on your ass." SMDH I thought I read somewhere that a young Damon was Zinn's neighbor in Boston. Wouldn't be surprised if it were so. Despite reading how "smart" Damon is supposed to be, he sure seems like part of the deadhead crowd to me.

The exit of Damon's character in "The Departed" was a great moment in film history, so satisfying.

We’ve reported on the tantrums, theatrics, and disruptions radical Dem lawmakers brought to the Tennessee House of Representatives on May 7. Although Democrats have been on the warpath nationally over redistricting, they really, really pout — and even allegedly shove state troopers ­— when they don’t get their way. But for every action there is a reaction, and the leftists are really going to shriek over this one. You see, Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R) just yanked all their committee assignments.

Of all the cards they love to play, the Democrats' favorite undoubtedly has been the race card, which they've played with near-total impunity for decades. We've seen that a lot in the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision in the Louisiana v. Callais case, which ruled that congressional redistricting based solely on race is unconstitutional. Democrats have made a lot of references, for example, to what they describe as the "new Jim Crow South," while leaving out the inconvenient fact that Jim Crow laws, as they are widely understood, were put in place by Democrats. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) was among the many who deliberately used racially charged

Nicholas Kristof writes a column for the opinion page of the New York Times. He is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner. Kristof has just unveiled a new libel against Israel in “The silence that meets the rape of Palestinians.” You have to read it to disbelieve it. Among other things, Kristof cites “Palestinian prisoners and human rights monitors” who report “police dogs being coached to rape prisoners.” The Times has made itself a continued source of Hamas propganda. It just won a Pulitzer Prize for its work in this vein. Hamas has now listed fatalities suffered in the post 10/7 conflict with Israel. Several of the names included are those of Palestinian “journalists.”

Kim Jong-un Is Not Our Friend 5 replies

President Trump has repeatedly referred to Kim Jong-un as his “friend.” I recognize that this is a bargaining technique and that it is necessary to employ deception when dealing with the likes of Kim, but I wish Trump would not do it. Kim Jong-un is not Trump’s friend; he is not anybody’s friend. He oversees the operation of brutal concentration camps, and he has reportedly carried out hundreds of executions, most of them public and involving firing squads but some private and involving the killing of pregnant women and teenagers and using blunt instruments such as pipes and hammers.

Another interview, and no one asks former President Obama anything. It’s embarrassing, but that’s what you get when you only sit down with people in the tank for you. Enter Stephen Colbert, who is now the latest to join the “kiss Obama’s butt” effort. At one point, the former President said this: I’m worried about the Republican Party, not just the Democrat Party. When I was president, people would ask me, ‘What change would you like to see in Washington?’ I’d say, I’d love a loyal opposition. I’d love a Republican Party that was conservative in some ways, that didn’t agree with me on a whole bunch of stuff,

I love the TCM cable channel, but it has a glaring blind spot for Communism. Last week it put that glaring blind spot on display in its broadcast of Saul Turrell’s Oscar-winning 1979 documentary Paul Robeson: Tribute to an Artist. Introducing the film, host Dave Karger referred to difficulties in Robeson’s career as a result of his devotion to “civil rights.” The documentary is posted here. I haven’t double checked to confirm that it covers Robeson’s trips to the Soviet Union. However, it shows Robseson going to Spain to sing for the Republican forces. Toward the end it shows him singing a Chinese Red Army marching song that became the regime’s

The Democrat party is facing such a host of seemingly intractable problems -- structural, financial, legal, and ideological -- that it will be close to a miracle if it survives after this year’s midterms. The below deck shuffles -- encouraging illegal alien votes, manipulating the census, making crooked voting almost impossible to check, and stuffing their pockets with illegal contributions through ACT Blue and pay-to-play schemes of USAID and NGOs -- are all suddenly being exposed and blocked. Empty Pockets Jeff Childers has done a thorough job explaining the party’s terminal crisis. Being short of funds is a good start.

A Frontier Airlines plane aborted takeoff after it struck a person on a runway at Denver International Airport late Friday, a spokesperson for the carrier and the Federal Aviation Administration told CNN. Flight 4345, an Airbus A321, was departing from Denver en route to Los Angeles and carried 224 passengers and 7 crew members, Frontier Airlines said in a statement. It was scheduled to depart at 10:39 p.m. local time. As the plane was departing, “the aircraft reportedly struck a pedestrian on the runway during takeoff,” the airline said. “Smoke was reported in the cabin and the pilots aborted takeoff. Passengers were then safely evacuated via slides as a matter of precaution.”

It's incredibly demoralizing to law-abiding, rule-following, normal Americans to watch Democrats publicly commit crimes without ever getting in trouble for it. I’m not talking about the indictments and prosecutions of high-level Democrats on charges that may or may not hold up in court — the Jim Comeys and Letitia Jameses. These prosecutions may or may not be at least partly politically motivated, but Democrats will always think that's all they were. And the refined legal arguments for conviction stand little chance of success in leftist jurisdictions like Washington and New York. I’m talking about Democrat politicians who knowingly flout the law, brazenly and openly, on video for all to see.

True, it might seem that building a wall against alien incursions is impossible, but didn’t Star Trek solve this decades ago with modulated shields? And we’re already long past making analogies between the Administrative State and The Borg.

For decades The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) terrorized the right-of-center political spectrum with fear of being put on SPLC’s “Hate Watch” lists. As I’ve discussed in many recent interviews, the lists were political clubs used against people like Dr. Ben Carson, Prof. Carol Swain, Rand Paul, the Family Research Council, and countless others who did not deserve to be on a list next to Neo-Nazis. We have been on SPLC’s case for over 15 years, SPLC’s hate lists were inflated both by counting “chapters” as individual groups (thereby inflating the numbers) as well as including groups that may have been nothing more than websites with no on-the-ground presence.

The mayor of Arcadia admitted to acting as an illegal foreign agent of China, resigning from her position in a shocking federal plea deal unsealed on Monday. Eileen Wang agreed with prosecutors that she worked with the People’s Republic of China to boost propaganda with a fake news website on US soil between 2020 and 2022. She was elected to Arcadia City Council in November 2022 — the city is located in the San Gabriel Valley within LA County. Wang, 58, worked with her then fiancé, Yaoning “Mike” Sun, on a web site called “U.S. News Center,” which claimed to be news source for Chinese Americans, according to court documents.

The petition, filed on behalf of Jones and other Democratic leaders in Virginia, argued that the Virginia Supreme Court erred in ruling that an “election” in the Virginia constitution includes the early voting period, instead arguing that under federal law, an “election” refers to a singular day.

WASHINGTON — Former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas lamented the delay in immigration enforcement actions until the final year of President Biden’s term — despite having testified to Congress several times while in office that the US border was “secure.” In an appearance Tuesday at Politico’s Security Summit, Mayorkas discussed aspects of the “broken” immigration system in America, acknowledging that a “low bar” for those expressing “credible fear of persecution” allowed too many migrants into the country during the Biden administration. More than 8 million entered by the start of the 46th president’s final year in office — before Biden moved to shut down the border and crack down on illegal crossings

A high school prom celebration turned deadly after gunfire erupted at a local park, killing a teenage girl and wounding four others, according to officials. Saturah Hayes, 17, was fatally shot Friday evening in Brownsville, Tenn. — about an hour northeast of Memphis — where Haywood High School students decked out in tuxedos and dresses gathered for photographs before the big dance, police and school officials said. Four others were shot and hospitalized, according to police. It’s not clear how many of those wounded were students. The prom was cut short and the school was closed Monday to give Hayes’ classmates time to grieve, Action News 5 reported.

In 1921, Woodrow Wilson, the first of America’s four transformative progressive presidents, became the first president to remain in Washington and make the nation’s capital his permanent home after leaving office. In very mild defense of the man who did more than any other to establish the administrative state and thus pervert America’s carefully constructed constitutional design, Wilson had suffered a debilitating stroke two years prior that left him partially paralyzed and nearly blind. He died just a few years later, in 1924. Barack Obama, the nation’s fourth transformative progressive president (following Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson)
