Katy Perry’s just come out with a new single, and the general reaction is not great. “She does have a beautiful voice, but the values behind the song and then who’s behind it — it’s a little disturbing,” Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable” says, before calling the song a “feminist anthem.” The song is aptly titled “Woman’s World” and features lyrics like “Sexy confident / so intelligent / she is heaven sent / so soft, so strong.” “Actually awful,” Stuckey scoffs, adding, “This ‘Woman’s World’ song, that’s supposed to be a feminist anthem, that’s supposed to make you and I feel really empowered.” Despite the song being about empowering women, there were six writers who worked on the song — and four of them were men. All the producers of the music video were male, the choreographer was male, and three producers of the song were male. One of the men who worked on the song is Dr. Luke, who was accused of sexual abuse by the pop star Kesha, alongside other women. “So, on this feminist anthem, not only is it mostly headed up by men, also by a pretty credibly accused sexual abuser,” Stuckey says, adding, “This is just very hypocritical.” “You would think that she would have been able to find someone who wasn’t accused of sexual abuse, or just find a woman. Are there no women in this women’s world that can produce this?” Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

MSNBC hosts Joy Reid and Jen Psaki agreed that if Democrat President Joe Biden recovers from COVID-19, that should "convey exactly the same thing" as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump surviving Saturday's assassination attempt and "bouncing right back and going right to his convention."Reid and Psaki on Wednesday night were on the MSNBC dais for the cable network's coverage of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Video shows Reid saying, "These two men are both elderly. Donald Trump is an elderly man who, for whatever reason, was given nine seconds to take [an] iconic photo-op during an active shooter situation. Weird situation; we’ll figure that out one day. But his survival of that and bouncing right back and going right to his convention is being conveyed in the media world as a sign of strength."Numerous commenters ... were dumbfounded by the comparison between Biden's presumed recovery from COVID and Trump surviving an assassination attempt and getting an ear wound as a result.Reid then turned her attention to Biden, who on Wednesday tested positive for COVID-19, according to the White House.“This current president of the United States is 81 years old and has COVID," Reid continued. "Should he be fine in a couple of days, doesn’t that convey exactly the same thing? That he’s strong enough — older than Trump — to have gotten something that used to really be fatal to people his age. So, if he does fine out of it and comes back and is able to do rallies, isn’t that exactly the same?”"It should," Psaki replied before Reid clarified, “I mean, it’s not exactly the same; it’s not the same incident; it’s an elderly man coming ... out of an illness.” Psaki nevertheless repeated, "It should."How are observers reacting?Numerous commenters on the video, which was posted to X, were dumbfounded by the comparison between Biden's presumed recovery from COVID and Trump surviving an assassination attempt and getting an ear wound as a result:"Holy f***ing s**t that is next level," one commenter remarked."We are living in the death of shame," another user declared."Truly despicable," another commenter stated, "but honestly nothing these two horrible women say would surprise me anymore.""@msnbc is in its death throes," another user wrote. "This is really beyond the paid call of duty.""Every time I think it is not possible to hate the legacy media more ..." another commenter shared.Like Blaze News?

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a surprising turn of events, President Joe Biden held a press conference today to express his gratitude for the COVID-19 vaccine, attributing it to his “mild case of dementia” rather than a more severe affliction. Standing at the podium with his trademark aviator sunglasses and a confident smile, President Biden addressed the nation. “Folks, I want to take a moment to thank the scientists, doctors, and healthcare workers who developed the COVID-19 vaccine,” he began. “True, I got COVID despite being constantly vaccinated and boosted, but the dementia all those shots led to has been very mild. What was I saying?” The President’s remarks were met with a mix of bewilderment and amusement from the press corps. “Without this vaccine, I might be out there wandering the White House lawn, wondering where my pants are,” Biden chuckled, eliciting a few nervous laughs from the audience. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki later elaborated on the President’s statement. “What the President meant to say is that the COVID-19 vaccine has provided numerous health benefits, including potentially mitigating the severity of other conditions,” she explained. “It’s just another example of how this administration is committed to public health and safety.” Critics, however, were quick to pounce on Biden’s comments. “This is just another instance of the President trying to deflect from his cognitive decline,” said Republican Senator Ted Cruz. “Next thing you know, he’ll be crediting the vaccine for his hair plugs.” Not to be outdone, former President Donald Trump weighed in on Truth Social. “Sleepy Joe is at it again! Now he’s saying the vaccine helped his brain. SAD! Everyone knows I had the best brain, and I didn’t need any vaccine for it. Fake news!” Meanwhile, the medical community was left scratching their heads. Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has become a household name during the pandemic, attempted to clarify the situation. “There’s no scientific evidence to support the claim that the COVID-19 vaccine affects dementia in any way,” Fauci stated. “It’s important to stay focused on the real benefits of vaccination, such as preventing severe illness and death from COVID-19.” Despite the controversy, President Biden seemed unfazed. “Look, Jack, I’ve always said I’m a man of the people,” he declared. “If my mild dementia makes me more relatable to the American public, then so be it.” The President concluded the press conference by reminding everyone to get vaccinated and boosted. “Together, we can beat this pandemic and keep our brains working just fine,” he said with a thumbs-up. As the nation continues to navigate these challenging times, one thing is certain: President Biden’s unique brand of humor and candor will keep the public entertained, if not entirely reassured.
