Embrace Hollywood!

He was never funny.

He was the epitome of the downfall of late night comedy into what could be called late night clapter, where the applauding of conservative misfortunes replaced wit or cleverness. Under Colbert, The Late Show became an avenue for liberals to vent their frustration at conservatives through cathartic booing.

Colbert was the most likely of all the permanent late night hosts to bring on liberal guests. His show would have been a must-visit place for 2028 Democratic hopefuls. Even on this Thursday, Colbert is scheduled to have Sen. Adam Schiff on.

The future of light night is bleak. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel has mused about retiring next year and is pessimistic about the state of the industry, a sentiment shared by NBC’s Seth Meyers. The death of late night was caused by many things, including increased competition that comes from streaming platforms and YouTube, but Colbert-like liberals also played a role. You can’t just write off half the country and expect a 30+ year-old institution to survive forever.

For old times’ sake.

Dan Wootton With Mark Steyn

Dan is a terrific natural broadcaster – and his eviction from GB News was unjust and contemptible: he was one of a handful of people who built that station. If you enjoyed (as many people did) the Steyn/Wootton 9pm handovers, here’s kind of an extended edition, as Dan interviews me on the Bay of Biscay about Britain’s disastrously micro-regulated media environment – Mark Steyn

Are the Wishy-Washy Elites Finally Getting Their Comeuppance?

A longtime friend and University of British Columbia (UBC) employee drew my attention to this story: Santa Ono, ex-University of Michigan president, rejected for University of Florida job. In the not too distant past, Ono was the president of the UBC.

The legacy media is, of course, trying to spin this as an anti-DEI backlash. Here’s another perspective: How about people with true, consistent values are fed up with milquetoast folks who have no real values and just say what is convenient at the moment?

In recent weeks, UK PM Keir Starmer has beclowned himself over the issue of immigration and California Governor has done the same about men participating in women’s sports. Simply put, you can’t hold a particular set of views for years, then suddenly turn on a dime, and expect people to trust you any longer.

I personally had some correspondence with Santa Ono 8 years ago. My alma mater, UBC, was looking for a donation. After receiving a bulk email from him, I responded, asking him how I could possibly donate to a university that didn’t believe in free speech. To my great surprise, he responded, saying that UBC planned to follow the Free Expression policy of the University of Chicago. As this recent lawsuit against UBC shows, Free Speech/Expression is the furthest thing from reality at UBC.

Here’s what others are saying about Ono’s rejection at the University of Florida.

“This week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stopped feeding the crocodile.”

Jonathan Turley;

On May 28, 2025, Rubio shocked many of our allies by issuing a new visa restriction policy that bars foreign nationals deemed “responsible for censorship of protected expression” in the U.S.

The new policy follows a major address by Vice President J.D. Vance in Munich challenging our European allies to end their systematic attacks on free speech. Vance declared, “If you are running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you. Nor, for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people that elected me and elected President Trump.”

At the time, I called the speech “Churchillian” in drawing a bright line for the free world. Rubio’s action is no less impressive and even more impactful.

National Post: Guilbeault is now back in charge of controlling the internet

Guilbeault will be supervising the implementation of the Online Streaming Act, a 2023 law that enables the feds to impose content controls over much of the Canadian internet.

Tuesday’s cabinet shuffle retained Guilbeault in his pre-election post as minister of Canadian Identity and Culture. The position gives him oversight over the CBC, Parks Canada, the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, among others.

“Thank you for your confidence, Prime Minister Mark Carney. I look forward to getting to work building a stronger country, based on the values of Canadians,” said Guilbeault in a Tuesday social media post.[…]

The Act also requires streaming services to pay five per cent of their revenues to government-administered media funds.

Within hours of Guilbeault’s reappointment, one of those funds, the Canada Media Fund, publicly welcomed him into the post.

The End of Democracy in Romania

Baiting The Left Freespeechers Great Moments In Socialism 10 Comments

A Romanian friend of mine shared this article with me:

A country cannot defend democracy by destroying it. Nor can it combat interference by becoming the chief saboteur. These are not paradoxes. They are the political reality of post-election Romania in 2025, where the will of the people has been trampled by a union of technocrats, foreign intelligence pressure, and judicial fiat. This is not democracy. It is an imitation of democracy, engineered for optics and controlled outcomes.

The gents at the Lotus Eaters have noticed as well that not all is alright in Romania.

So Ottawa is worried that Canadians have a lot of different opinions. In reality, they’re worried that many of these opinions don’t conform to the dominant collectivist narratives.

The presentation called on session participants to come up with ideas to make Canadian society more cohesive by reversing the trend toward polarization, building trust in government agencies and fighting the swelling tide of misinformation and disinformation.

Still, the document says officials at the November meeting planned to talk about how to ramp up efforts to “engage and ‘bring back’ groups veering away from democratic norms.”

Free speech and democracy are effectively dead in Germany. It has now become very clear that one must be a member of the UniParty or else you’ll be accused of being “far right” and banned from running for office. The gents at the Lotus Eaters are disgusted by this latest chapter in Germany’s history.

To save the German people from the totalitarians running their country, perhaps the American government needs to start tariffing Germany, say starting at 50% and then increasing by 25% every month until the amount reaches 200%. Plus, all German politicians involved with this fiasco against the democratically supported AfD, should be banned from traveling to America if this isn’t resolved by year’s end. After all, this isn’t the first time that America has saved Germany from itself.

Andrew Doyle- Iceland has abandoned free speech

It sometimes feels as though the woke movement has finally been derailed, and the world is gradually tottering back towards sanity. We’ve had the Cass Review, the recent Supreme Court ruling that sex cannot be changed with a certificate, Trump’s executive orders to uphold women’s sex-based rights, and various sporting bodies banning men from participating in women’s sports.

And yet a few strongholds are persisting with their regressive notions, most notably Canada and Australia. But Iceland might also be one of the worst offenders.

Deported ‘Maryland man’ championed by Dems was pulled over driving car belonging to human smuggler

More: During that 2022 traffic stop, Kilmar Abrego Garcia wasn’t just out for a joyride. He was transporting eight other individuals on a shady cross-country trip from Texas to Maryland. His excuse? They were supposedly headed to do “construction work.” No tools, no luggage—just bodies in a car. Sounds legit, right?

Blacklock’s- Will Censor Web “Pollution”

Liberals if re-elected will make a third attempt at regulating the internet, Prime Minister Mark Carney suggested last evening. Carney made the remark after being heckled at a rally in Hamilton, Ont. “We don’t need the online hate from the United States,” said Carney. Hecklers had questioned if the Prime Minister was acquainted with New York financier Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in police custody in 2019.

“Come on,” said Carney. “Come on.” The Prime Minister paused briefly. “There are many serious issues that we’re dealing with,” he said.
