Todd Field’s Tár is the story of the rise — or perhaps I should say “social climb” — and fall of Lydia Tár, a pioneering ethnomusicologist, conductor, and the first female Music Director of the Berlin Philharmonic, who is brilliantly played by Cate Blanchett. Shot on location in New York and Berlin, Tár very effectively conjures up the world of contemporary classical music, from the concert halls and conservatories to the journalistic latrine flies.

I believe that blind people have a right to be employed — but not as military snipers or crossing guards.
I believe that deaf people are entitled to a living wage — but not as record producers.
In the same spirit of fairness teetering toward cruelty, I believe that people who suffer from gender dysphoria and have lingering resentment toward a world that has bullied them their entire lives probably shouldn’t be in charge of deciding where our nuclear waste gets dumped. (more…)

If one day I were to find myself in the improbable situation of being so well-heeled and immune to social ostracism that I convinced a Hollywood studio to produce a romantic comedy that was sympathetic to the KKK, you would find it incredibly undignified if I were to whine that no black people showed up in theaters to see it.
But that’s precisely how Billy Eichner is reacting to the fact that his new homo-positive romantic comedy Bros tanked at the box office during its debut last weekend. (more…)
Brad Schneider, US Representative for Illinois, who appears to have part of his face around the bridge of his nose and near his eyeballs crudely stitched onto his head Frankenstein-style.

In late 2020, when news broke about a laptop with incriminating evidence that Hunter Biden had carelessly dropped off at a Delaware computer repair shop, the story was viciously suppressed by the mainstream media, a collective act of censorship that may have had an influence on the presidential election.
Last weekend, hackers from 4chan claimed to have wormed their way into Biden’s iCloud account and began posting images and video footage from what they’d found. (more…)

The pioneering pornographer Al Goldstein, publisher of Screw and similar refined journals of onanistic art, was famous for many things. Foremost, he was a notorious culture-distorter. (I’ll credit him with at least being an honest one; he said very plainly what he was all about.) Also, he was so liberal that it hurts. In light of that, it’s quite odd that his interview in the April 1978 edition of Hustler, conducted by Larry Flynt, is remarkably politically incorrect. (more…)

To assert — as does the entire modern racial-justice-industrial complex without any hesitation or equivocation — that any disparities regarding income, health, and longevity between black and white Americans are due to white maleficence is to ignore how blacks fare when they are entirely quarantined from the foul clutches and nostril-searing stench of white supremacy.

You have to give the Left credit. They never take a day off. The eye of Sauron never blinks. They are frenzied and relentless in their attempts to overthrow our civilization. They softened us up for a long time, rotting away our character and identity by promoting vice, cynicism, and nihilism — all while playing the victim. Now that we are too weak to resist and too deracinated to care, they have launched a ferocious campaign of iconoclasm against our forefathers’ heroes: Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, Robert E. Lee, etc. (more…)

In a possibly apocryphal quote, Muhammad Ali allegedly explained why he refused to be drafted into the US Armed Forces to fight in Vietnam: “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong. No Viet Cong ever called me nigger.”
Okay, but had he ever spent any time around the Viet Cong? (more…)

Joe Biden, who is widely acknowledged as the first senile cyborg plagiarist with artificially whitened teeth ever to hold the US presidency, has devised a unique and exciting plan to heal and unite a deeply wounded and divided nation: He intends to persecute everyone on the other side of the aisle until they are either dead, imprisoned, or permanently frightened into silence. With no opposition, there’s no conflict!
