Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, a vehement Donald Trump critic, changed the lyrics to one of the band’s most popular songs to take a shot at the former president and his supporters during a New Year’s Eve performance. While performing the band’s 2004 hit song “American Idiot” Sunday night in Hollywood, Armstrong sang, “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda” instead of the original lyrics, “I’m not a part of the redneck agenda.” The performance was broadcast on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” on ABC, which was hosted by Ryan Seacrest, who also interviewed President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden on

OMG. if I had known I probably would not have been able to sleep last night. I would have wept uncontrollably into my pillow because I have turned my back on FJB and all the glorious things he has done for me and all Americans. s/o Not. FJB has done everything he possibly can (with the help of the puppet masters) to bring America to her knees and lose her sense of identity. On that level he has done a good job. Here's to hoping we can send him on a permanent vacation a year from now. So much work to do, so much repair. I doubt I will live long enough to see healing. It will take years to undo everything he has heaped upon us. As for Green Day, sing what you want. It still is America, for now anyway. PS I do not pay attention to anything the entertainment industry says and wants us to follow.

Green Day is a long known leftist pinko outfit, enough so that their music is unlistenable. Proud Democrats ... you know, idiots.

We attended a Green Day concert a few years ago in San Diego (our grandson dragged us). It was great, actually. Armstrong came off as more of a typical uninformed brain-dead liberal than any kind of a hard-core leftist. There is a difference.

Not that they have had a hit in 20+ years and need to be seen or anything. I all I know is Billywhatever telling an audience to spit on the cameraman shooting him at a concert many years ago. Pure trash. the kind of person that supports Biden.

Armstrong is a mediocrity who managed to put out a few catchy tunes 30 years ago. But he overrepeated the formula, the music got stale and his band appeared to be washed up, until he decided to write an album attacking George W Bush. The libtard media predictably swooned over it, reviving Gern Day's career. Trouble is he's spent the last 20 years trying to replicate that success. Trump is just an obvious target for the out of touch stoner.

Never heard of him. Would love to know the backstory on how he became part of a POLITICAL production in which Joe Biden also appeared. Did someone know of his hatred for Donald Trump and his supporters, and "arrange" for his appearance on the New Year's Eve event? Were the changed lyrics a result of his own cleverness, or were they suggested by someone else? I've become skeptical of events that at first glance seem to be unrelated. All too often, we quickly learn "unrelated" or supposedly "spontaneous" events are from the same bag of dirty tricks, and are always designed to misinform. The Russia Hoax had nothing to do with Trump's behavior, as it was a political operation designed to get him thrown out of office. The left really doesn't want Americans electing their own leaders. The lack of police protection fed the January 6th "insurrection." So dirty.

Jowls, crepey skin, stretch-marked paunch, crow’s feet and sleeves turning black with each tattoo bleeding into the next one to become one unrecognizable ball of dusky endodermal chalk. A show on the conformist bourgeoise Great White Way and an appearance with host Ryan Seacrest at a televised swing in’ rockin’ New Year’s Eve Party produced by Dick Clark’s descendants. What’s a 52 year-old half-witted has-been got to do to seem adolescent and edgy?

Why they are still using the name "Dick Clark"? We are over fifty years away from Dick's heyday. It would be the same as if in the 1970's it was the "Al Jolson's Mammy's New Year's Eve". The Left are not innovative or creative. They can only steal and corrupt the past.

Green Day has always been a leftist bunch and Armstrong isn't all that good either. I actually like a good protest song and my favorite one is Fortunate Son by John Fogerty (and yes, I know he's an anti-Trumper). But that song is about how the sons of the rich and connected are very seldom sent to do the fighting. And that practice goes way back so the song is universal. Green Day is dated.

Harvard Newspaper Backs Claudine Gay, But... 8 replies
Posted by Dreadnought 1/2/2024 12:35:51 PM Post Reply
The editorial board at Havard University’s student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, decided to give university president Claudine Gay a bit of a holiday present this weekend. (I’m fairly sure you can’t say “Christmas present” at Harvard these days.) The embattled administrator had already been taking fire and facing calls for her resignation over her antisemitic remarks before Congress and then a mounting pile of evidence that she committed plagiarism multiple times over the course of her career. But the paper’s editorial board stood up for Gay this weekend in an op-ed where a majority of the members concluded that there was no reason for her to resign. And

Hamas’s deputy leader abroad Saleh al-Arouri was killed in an Israeli strike in the Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh, the Hezbollah-linked al-Mayadeen reports. Israel has not yet commented on the alleged strike. At a press conference in November, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had “instructed the Mossad to act against the heads of Hamas wherever they are” in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 assault on southern Israel. At the same press conference, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said all Hamas leaders “are living on borrowed time… The struggle is worldwide.” Based in Lebanon, al-Arouri, 57, was deputy head of the terror group’s political bureau and considered the de facto leader

Well, well, well. Hamas had insisted in recent days that it would release no hostages until the IDF withdrew from Gaza, a position that left the Israeli government in firm position to reject. After more losses on the battlefield, however, Hamas has had second thoughts. Now they want a day of cease-fire for every hostage released, but without an IDF withdrawal. And the Israelis say … Hamas negotiators have waived the condition of a final ceasefire and the withdrawal of IDF soldiers from Gaza in their ongoing talks with Israel for a second hostage release, according to a report by the Arab World News Agency (AWP), citing sources in Hamas. “The five-way talks

Lai was first arrested in August 2020 following Beijing’s imposition of a new Hong Kong “national security law” that was part of a broader crackdown on pro-democracy forces by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Lai’s publication supported the pro-democracy demonstrations and was critical of China’s attempts to silence dissent in Hong Kong.

And since it's politically advantageous to do so, Kamala the Chameleon purports to be a lifelong celebrant of Kwanzaa. Advertisement For years, Kamala has told tall tales of cherished age-old Kwanzaa traditions in the Harris household. She has repeatedly claimed to nostalgically recall fond childhood memories of multi-generational Kwanzaa celebrations led by "the elders"® sharing stories of yore and lighting candles on the "kinara," a knock-off menorah. (The first "kinara" was forged from a desecrated Jewish menorah, in which two openings were broken off to create a seven-ring candleholder.)

Assuming full attendance, the Republicans can only afford to lose two votes on any measure. GOP Rep.
