If you made a list of all the top favorite IPs, it would seem that Hollywood has that list in hand. And they’ve consistently gone down that list and made each entry woke. You name it, Star Wars, countless Disney & Pixar characters, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Marvel comic characters, Dr. Who, even Narnia. And now the woke mob have arrived to push their cultural Marxism on Harry Potter. HBO swore that they would remake the books more accurately than the movies. And it sort of makes sense to take each book and turn it into one season of TV shows. That way they don’t have to cram a huge novel into a 2.5 hour movie. That means you get to potentially see every scene of the books filmed. Then HBO announced their casting for the series and it just shows what a lot of us were fearing. That they have no intent on being faithful to the book, but rather just another entry to push their agenda, as many are calling it, ‘The Message’. (Which just means any agenda under the woke umbrella.) The character Professor Snape, which was played by Alan Rickman in the movies, was described as ‘pasty’ and ‘white’ in the books. Some of you may know Alan Rickman as Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood with Kevin Costner. Well, now Snape is race-swapped by Paapa Essiedu. And Potter fans, liberal and conservatives both, are furious. Many consider Rickman to be their favorite person in the whole series. Someone thought they could sneak this DEI hire in. Paapa Essiedu is officially confirmed to play Severus Snape in HBO’s “Harry Potter” television series. https://t.co/Geny6vAsRs pic.twitter.com/Ny6OyOgmTr — Variety (@Variety) April 14, 2025 According to liberal Hollywood, Whitewashing is the worst crime in history! But blackwashing? ‘Eh, that doesn’t exist.’ Newsweek reports: The announcement that Paapa Essiedu will portray Severus Snape in HBO’s forthcoming Harry Potter series has ignited conversation across social media, with fans drawing comparisons to other casting decisions that challenged traditional character portrayals. Essiedu, known for roles in I May Destroy You and The Lazarus Project, joins a high-profile cast including John Lithgow as Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, and Nick Frost as Hagrid. The new adaptation, which HBO has described as a “faithful” retelling of J.K. Rowling’s original books, is expected to span a decade-long run but according to Deadline, Max, formerly HBO Max, has not disclosed the duration or structure of each season in relation to the individual books. While the series aims to refresh the franchise for a new generation, Essiedu’s casting has brought renewed attention to racial representation in legacy media properties. What People Are Saying X user @GoatHerder101 posted: “This is the worst race swap in the modern history of race swaps. Of course racism will be a focal point in Snape’s backstory now, since he will bullied mercilessly by James Potter and his friends. HBO has officially divided the fandom before filming has even begun all for the sake of DEI [Diversity, Equity and Inclusion].” Media personality Jon Root posted to X: “HBO just officially killed their show in the womb…Snape is white in the books, so he should be white in the show. This is just DEI nonsense. Now imagine what’ll look like when white James Potter bullies black Severus Snape…Great way to push a racism, victim agenda.” X user @MyNerdyHome posted: “And just like that- everyone who picks on Snape is going to be labeled a racist. In 2025 they would never let the silent hero of this series be a white man. What a shame.” Hollywood appears to be allergic to making money. Disney just lost millions with their race-swapped Snow White. And this, too, will fail like so many before it.

The virulently anti-Israel Biden administration envoy who claimed the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah — who are proxies for the despotic Islamic Iranian regime — were simply misunderstood by the West, cheered the idea that President Donald Trump might make a nuclear deal with Iran. Rob Malley, Biden’s Special Envoy to Iran, told a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing in 2022, “The simple fact is this: as a means of constraining Iran’s nuclear program, the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] was working. Leaving it has not.” Malley recently told The New York Times, “Biden was lukewarm about a deal; Trump is eager. Biden fixates on domestic politics; Trump couldn’t care less. Biden was calculating; Trump, impulsive. Trump is throwing caution, prudence and logic to the wind. Which is why there is probably a greater chance of some kind of understanding now than there ever was under the prior administration.” Malley, who had a friendly relationship with arch-terrorist PLO leader Yasser Arafat, wrote in July 2001, in the middle of the murderous Second Intifada in which Palestinians murdered more than 1,000 Jews, that the idea of blaming Arafat for the failure of peace talks with Israel “acts as a harmful constraint on American policy by offering up a single, convenient culprit (Arafat) rather than a more nuanced and realistic analysis.” According to the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism, during the Second Intifada, 887 of the 1,137 Israelis murdered in attacks from September 2000 – 2005 were civilians. Just between May 2001 and May 2002 there were these massacres: five Israelis murdered by a suicide bomber at the HaSharon Mall in May 2001; 21 Israelis murdered by a suicide bomber at the Dolphinarium Discotheque in June 2001; 15 Israelis murdered by a suicide bomber at Sbarro’s Pizza in August 2001, including six children and a 31-year-old woman who was the only child of her parents and was five months pregnant; 11 Israelis murdered in a bus bombing on Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem on December 1, 2001; 12 more Israelis murdered the very next day in a Haifa suicide bombing; 11 more Israelis murdered in a bus attack 10 days later in Immanuel; six Israelis murdered in an attack at a bas-mitzvah in January 2002; 11 more Jews killed in an attack on a yeshiva in March 2002, including a five-month-old child; 11 Jews murdered in a bombing at Café Moment in March 2002; 30 Israelis killed as they celebrated Passover in Netanya on March 27, 2002; 16 Israelis murdered in a suicide bombing four days later at the Matzah restaurant, and 16 Israelis murdered in Rishon LeZion in May 2002. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), possibly the staunchest opponent of Iran in the U.S. Senate, reacted harshly when reports indicated Biden would select Malley as his Special Envoy to Iran, stating in 2021, “It’s deeply troubling that President Biden would consider appointing Rob Malley to direct Iran policy. Malley has a long track record of sympathy for the Iranian regime & animus towards Israel. The ayatollahs wouldn’t believe their luck if he is selected.” Three U.S. officials left the team negotiating with Iran because Malley would not take a harder negotiating position regarding sanctions. Wang Xiyue, imprisoned in Iran between 2016 and 2019, wrote in 2021 that Biden appointing him as Special Envoy “would send a chilling signal to the dictatorship in Iran that the United States is solely focused on re-entering the Iran nuclear deal, and ignoring its regional terror and domestic crimes against humanity. It would also send a signal to Iranians, Syrians, Iraqis, Lebanese, and all others that are being repressed by the Iranian regime and its proxies that the Biden administration does not care about their human rights.” “In 2023, Malley stopped briefing Congress about his diplomatic efforts,” The Washington Free Beacon reported. “It soon became clear that he had been placed on administrative leave pending a State Department investigation into his alleged mishandling of classified documents. Malley eventually had his top secret security clearance pulled, and the FBI picked up the investigation into his activities. The Biden administration never released information about the findings of its investigation into Malley before leaving office.” In 2010, in a documentary called Cultures of Resistance, Malley called for Israel to allow Hamas “to govern” Gaza. In a 1980 piece, he justified the violence Palestinians inflicted on Jews, writing, “There is a lot to be said about the Israeli treatment of Arabs — shameful on the part of a people who suffered more than any other from the injustices and horrors of racism. And the fact must be faced that the resort to violence by the Palestinians is the inevitable corollary of the violence done to them.”

The White House released a report on Monday, delivering a detailed laundry list of grievances with National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and making the case for stripping the two networks of any and all taxpayer funding. “For years, American taxpayers have been on the hook for subsidizing National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), which spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as ‘news,'” the report stated — and followed that with a list of examples of such “woke propaganda.” For years, Americans have been on the hook for subsidizing NPR and PBS as they spread radical, woke propaganda disguised as “news.” As @POTUS has said, funding their biased content is a waste. ? Here are some examples of the trash that passes for “news” at NPR and PBS: pic.twitter.com/7xlZOKGay1 — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) April 14, 2025 The list only went back a little over a decade to a 2015 segment on NPR which featured the “population of anthropomorphic animal enthusiasts known as ‘furries.'” The list also highlighted two 2017 entries from PBS — a panel discussion on “white privilege” and what it “mean(s) to be woke” and a movie called “Real Boy” that followed the story of a trans-identifying teenager who “navigates adolescence and sobriety” among other challenges. In 2017, PBS produced an entire movie celebrating a transgender teenager’s so-called “changing gender identity.” pic.twitter.com/RScnFANHmB — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) April 14, 2025 That same year, NPR ran a story titled “Cannibalism: It’s ‘Perfectly Natural.'” Other entries included a 2020 NPR segment addressing the “racial origins of fat phobia,” a 2021 claim from NPR that “animals deserve pronouns, too,” a 2022 NPR feature titled “What ‘Queer Ducks’ can teach teenagers about sexuality in the animal kingdom,” a 2022 dig into a “whole community of genderqueer dinosaur enthusiasts,” and a 2024 Valentine’s Day special dedicated to “non-binary deer” and other “queer” members of the animal kingdom. The complaints about PBS followed a similar pattern, and included a one-sided 2020 “Sesame Street” town hall with CNN on racism amid the George Floyd riots, a 2021 children’s special featuring a drag queen named “Lil’ Miss Hot Mess,” and a 2024 documentary “making the case for reparations.” The White House report also laid out evidence that neither NPR nor PBS showed any tolerance for viewpoints that didn’t align with the political Left — from NPR’s intentional suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story to the cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, among other things. A study conducted by the Media Research Center during the 20214 presidential election revealed that PBS’ coverage of the Democratic National Convention was 88% positive — and the coverage of the Republican National Convention was 72% negative.

Longtime actress Cate Blanchett, a two-time Academy Award winner, said she’s “serious” about quitting Hollywood. The 55-year-old Australian-born star made the revelation during an interview with Radio Times in an episode slated to debut in full on Sunday. “My family roll their eyes every time I say it, but I mean it,” the “Black Bag” star said, per U.K.-based outlet The Standard. “I am serious about giving up acting. [There are] a lot of things I want to do with my life.” The actress also mentioned some aspects of being famous that she doesn’t care for.  “When you go on a talk show, or even here now, and then you see soundbites of things you’ve said, pulled out and italicized, they sound really loud,” Blanchett said. “I’m not that person.” “I make more sense in motion,” the actress continued. “It’s been a long time to remotely get comfortable with the idea of being photographed. I’ve always felt like I’m on the periphery of things, so I’m always surprised when I belong anywhere. I go with curiosity into whatever environment that I’m in, not expecting to be accepted or welcomed.” “I’ve spent a lifetime getting comfortable with the feeling of being uncomfortable,” Blanchett added. The Aussie native won Best Supporting Actress for “The Aviator” (2004) and Best Actress for “Blue Jasmine” (2013). Blanchett gained international fame for her role as Galadriel in “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” trilogies and has starred in a wide range of critically acclaimed films, including “Elizabeth,” “Carol,” and “TÁR.”  This is not the first time that the actress talked about walking away. “I always thought, if the acting thing didn’t work out, which it still might not, I would love to be a Foley artist,” she told The Guardian in March. “One day, I’m going to grow up and get a proper job.” In December, Blanchett fretted over artificial intelligence impacting Hollywood and the world. The actress said she’s “deeply concerned” about the technology and worried that it’s poised to significantly impact “the average person.” “I’m looking at these robots and driverless cars … and I don’t really know what that’s bringing anybody,” Blanchett said. “I’m worried about us as a species, it’s a much bigger problem.” “You can totally replace … any person,” she added. “Forget whether they’re an actor or not, if you’ve recorded yourself … for three or four seconds your voice can be replicated.”  

Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) chose April 15 — better known to most American adults as Tax Day — to play defense for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and her efforts backfired in spectacular fashion. Spanberger, who is currently facing Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears (R-VA) in the 2025 gubernatorial race, took to X to post her “Happy Tax Day” message attacking President Donald Trump and his administration. “Just a reminder that while Virginians are filing their taxes, the Trump administration is cutting IRS staff and making it harder for people across the Commonwealth to get the help they need,” she posted.
