Barack Obama Complains About Kimmel and
Cancel Culture? Here’s a Look Back at
Our Former Censor in Chief
Posted By: Hazymac, 9/18/2025 4:08:31 PM
With the news breaking on Wednesday Night that Jimmy Kimmel saw his late-night show suspended, there has been no shortage of voices of outrage from the left. The squealing and mewling over this has not been heard since way back to… about a month ago, when a similar amount of teeth-gnashing was taking place over Stephen Colbert getting canceled. While I am no fan of seeing possible government leverage being applied to broadcasters over content, this is a result that the same wailing class has been attempting to provoke for years. Case in point: CNN’s media maven Brian Stelter has been weighing in (pun completely intended) on this suspension,

Yesterday we learned from a story published by CNN's Andrew Kaczynski that Maine's progressive Senate candidate Graham Platner had identified himself as a communist in Reddit messages under his handle P-Hustle. In addition, Platner also said that all cops are bastards and that white people are racist and stupid.
In another since-removed post from 2020, Platner responded to a thread titled “White people aren’t as racist or stupid as Trump thinks” by writing, “Living in white rural America, I’m afraid to tell you they actually are.”
And these comments weren't very old. Most were from 2020 and 2021, just a few years ago. Platner was asked to respond and assured CNN that
The New Georgia Project was a voter registration and turnout organization founded by Stacey Abrams back in 2013. In theory it was a non-partisan group but in practice it was there to help Democrats win elections by bringing more Black and Latino voters to the polls. But now the group has announced that it will dissolve and will cease to operate this week.
Once one of the most influential political groups in the South, the New Georgia Project is shutting down this week, marking a stunning fall for an organization that pushed to advance Democratic causes for more than a decade.

Jack Smith may have thought he was untouchable when he led the Biden administration's legal crusade against Donald Trump, but Republican lawmakers are now making it clear that his alleged abuses won't go unanswered. On Friday, Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, joined by a coalition of Republican senators and one congressman, sent a blistering letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi referring the former special counsel to the Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility and two state bar associations for investigation. The charge? Professional misconduct that is serious enough to warrant potential disbarment. “As part of Jack Smith’s weaponized witch hunt, the Biden DOJ issued subpoenas
Is Race-Baiting Over?

Heather Mac Donald optimistically declares “The end of the race hustle.” Heather’s article is long, and data-rich. I recommend reading it all. She credits President Trump with being uncowed by the Left’s accusations of racism, and offers hope that race-baiting no longer works:
For decades, pointing out that any action, public or private, had a black target or fell disproportionately on black people was sufficient to discredit that action, regardless of whether it was couched in terms of race or had a racist intent.
Want to fire an employee? Good luck if that employee is black; such a dismissal would be presumptively racist. Tempted to criticize a government official for
The big news of the week, of course, was President Trump’s diplomatic/military triumph in obtaining an end to fighting in Gaza and the return of Hamas’s hostages to Israel. It was a moment that anyone would celebrate–anyone but a liberal, that is. The same people who organized demonstrations around the world demanding a cease fire were oddly silent when they got their wish.
In other news, peace may be breaking out in Ukraine, too. Once again, the prospect of peace has something to do with Trump’s persuasive powers, and more to do with Tomahawk missiles.
Meanwhile, the Democrats have not been idle. They have kept their Schumer Shutdown

AI is now able to convincingly simulate and in a growing number of cases replace movie actors.The fakes look just like the real thing. ”There's a new celebrity in Hollywood and her name is Tilly Norwood. Tilly is already causing major controversy because she is AI-generated. Tilly is the creation of a Dutch comedian who says 'multiple talent agents have shown interest in signing the AI actress.' AI protection was a key sticking point during the writer and actor strikes in 2023. They were wary of replacement. Now, their fears seem to be coming true.”

One doesn’t need to be the Oracle of Delphi to foretell the coming of the vile Zohran Mamdani as the next mayor of New York. It’s almost unbelievable.
Mamdani’s father is Mahmood Mamdani, the Herbert Lehman Professor of Government and Professor of Anthropology and Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies at — you may have heard — Columbia University. That is all too believable.
Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal carried Tunku Varadarajan’s review of Professor Mamdani’s new book, the aptly titled Slow Poison. Varadarajan writes:
Mahmood Mamdani has written a startling book. Startling, not because of the writing—which is often repetitive, tediously autobiographical and awash with anticolonial pieties—but because “Slow Poison”
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is an avowed Jew-hater who has repeatedly demonstrated over the last decade his hatred for Israel; his support for Hamas; and even his support for a “global intifada,” which, by extension, includes the destruction of the United States as we know it. And yet, according to recent polls, 43% of New York Jews are supporting him, including 67% of Jewish voters between the ages of 18 and 44.
This is analogous to black voters voting for former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke (who ran for president in 1992). How is it even possible for these Jewish New Yorkers to be supporting
What's up with California's impeccably coiffed Governor Gavin "A Little Dab'll Do Ya" Newsom? He seems determined to keep allowing men and boys to play on women's and girls' competitive sports teams, despite all the evidence from biology and reality as to how unfair that is. Governor Newsom himself admitted it was unfair. And yet, caught between the Scylla of the "gender ideology" nuts and the Charybdis of the "Resist Trump at all costs" left, he keeps looking for ways to allow the cheaters to keep cheating.
His latest effort is the formation of a "Sports Equity Commission", following the left's pattern of taking any ridiculous idea and
A federal grand jury in Maryland has reportedly indicted former national security adviser John Bolton.
Two sources told CNN that Bolton is being indicted for allegedly sharing classified information with his wife and daughter over email.
Sources previously told CNN that part of the Justice Department’s investigation centers around notes he was making to himself in an AOL email account — at times writing summaries of his activities like diary entries — when he was working for Trump.
FBI agents executed a search warrant on Bolton’s Maryland home and Washington, DC, office this summer. The agents seized multiple documents labeled “secret,” “confidential,” and “classified,” including some about weapons of mass destruction,

Handled Things Better,’ Regrets Mistreating
Reporter, Staffer 24 replies
Former Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), the potential frontrunner for California governor, now regrets mistreating a reporter and a staffer, admitting she “could have handled things better.”
Last week, Politico obtained a video of Porter cursing at a staffer while taping a meeting with the Biden administration.
“Get out of my f****** shot!” Porter yelled at the staffer in the video.
When the staffer issued her correction regarding a policy detail, Porter responded, “Okay. You also were in my shot before that. Stay out of my shot.”
The unearthed footage came just days after a video went viral that showed Porter threatening to exit an interview with a California CBS News affiliate.
Before I get to the good stuff, I feel that I need to remind you that yesterday, President Donald Trump announced that the United States had blown up yet another narco-boat out of Venezuela. The kinetic strike took place in International Waters, according to the president, and killed six narco-terrorists on board. Intelligence confirmed the boat was carrying illegal narcotics. (Snip) Sens. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Tim Kaine (D-Va.) probably held some sort of vigil for their fallen cartel brothers. While every single one of these blows sends a message to the cartels spread throughout Latin America, these, in particular, are aimed at Nicolás Maduro,

Is Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) going to retire? Townhall has been hearing whispers from some senior Democratic sources that the longtime New York Senator could be retiring from public life for numerous reasons, not least being that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) could make good on her move to primary him. Now, AOC venturing outside the state could be an early move to consolidate her national constituency for a 2028 presidential run, which she could do, but she has options. And this seat is gettable for her: Schumer is not well-liked among Democratic voters, and his fundraising has been abysmal.
After a U.S.-led campaign, the United Nations has postponed a vote on a proposal to impose the world’s first global carbon tax on shipping, delaying the decision by one year.
The rule was expected to come up for a vote this week as part of the U.N. International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) "Net-Zero Framework." But a majority of member nations voted to defer it after failing to reach consensus amid U.S. opposition.
Backed by the European Union and Brazil, the plan seeks to raise billions from carriers that exceed new emissions limits, channeling the revenue toward climate adaptation and clean-fuel projects in developing nations.
Washington and Riyadh led the opposition.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Friday went off on White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt while talking about political violence and recent controversies in connection with the Republican Party.
“We’ve already seen a rise in political violence and hatred in America, and then you’ve got swastikas apparently appearing in the offices of Republican members of Congress,” Jeffries told reporters on Capitol Hill. “You’ve got Young Republicans engaging in the most antisemitic and racist speech possible.” Jefferies said Republicans “are ripping the sheets off” before turning his attention to President Trump’s press secretary. And then you’ve got Karoline Leavitt, who’s sick; she’s out of control,” Jeffries continued. “I’m not sure
NBC News will be terminating 150 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) employees who are responsible for "Black, Latino, Asian and LGBTQ+" coverage in the newsroom.
The Wrap, in an exclusive, reported that NBC News was firing its teams dedicated to issues affecting those communities.
NBC News executive vice president of editorial, Catherine Kim, announced the cuts to staff on the morning of Oct. 15. Kim claimed that the layoffs made things a “difficult day for a lot of us,” the Wrap reported.
The Wednesday newsroom massacre comes as NBC News splits from its sister news network, MSNBC.
The total reductions will cut about 7% of NBC News’ 2,000 newsroom staffers

President Donald Trump on Thursday warned Hamas “we will have no choice but to go in and kill them” if internal bloodshed persists in Gaza.
The grim warning from Trump came after he previously downplayed the internal violence in the territory since a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas went into effect last week in the two-year war.
Trump later clarified he won’t send U.S. troops into Gaza after launching the threat against Hamas.
“It’s not going to be us,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters. “We won’t have to. There are people very close, very nearby that will go in and they’ll do the trick very easily,

Protesting the direction of the country under President Donald Trump, people will gather Saturday in the nation’s capital and communities across the U.S. for “ No Kings ” demonstrations — what the president’s Republican Party is calling “Hate America” rallies.
This is the third mass mobilization since Trump’s return to the White House and it is expected to be the largest. It comes against the backdrop of a government shutdown that not only has closed federal programs and services, but is testing the core balance of power as an aggressive executive confronts Congress and the courts in ways that organizers warn are a slide toward American authoritarianism.
Hamas defended the gruesome public executions it carried out against Palestinians earlier this week as the terrorist group says it has no plans to lay down its arms — throwing a massive wrench into the already tense peace negotiations with Israel.
Hamas politburo member Mohammed Nazzal told Reuters that “exceptional measures” had to be taken when it carried out public killings in Gaza on Monday, which drew widespread criticism for their extreme violence. He claimed that those executed were criminals guilty of murder.
Nazzal also refused to commit to Hamas disarming itself, which Israel has demanded as part of a peace deal.

A notoriously violent two-block stretch of Brooklyn is fighting crime — by keeping uniformed cops away, The Post has learned. NYPD officials agreed to turn a sliver of Brownsville in the NYPD’s 73rd Precinct into a “police free zone” last week as part of an city-funded experiment called the Brownsville Safety Alliance that initially was only twice a year but now runs four times annually. And it’s an initiative that’s received praise from anti-cop, mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, an official with the group that runs it told The Post.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will face a primary challenge in 2026 from Scott Wiener, a leather-wearing state lawmaker who is a “drag queen advocate” and has already raised $1 million for his campaign.
Wiener, who has represented San Francisco and other parts of the Bay Area in the California Senate since 2016, had previously said he would wait until Pelosi, 85, retired to run for her long-held congressional seat, but multiple outlets reported on Friday that the state lawmaker will announce his candidacy for Congress next week. “Scott Wiener for Congress,” the state senator’s congressional campaign committee, was set up in 2023 and reported over

President Trump commuted serial fabulist and former GOP Rep. George Santos’ seven-year prison sentence on Friday, citing “horrible” mistreatment by the Bureau of Prisons and claiming Santos’ unlawful conduct was not nearly as bad as the fibs of Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).
In a late afternoon Truth Social post, the president stated: “George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!” Santos, 36, sobbed in court during his sentencing after pleading guilty to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in August.

As you've heard, there is a governor's race in Virginia. It looked like an easy victory for the Democrats a few weeks ago, and then some texts surfaced and things changed. It's a lot more competitive, and the Democrats are sending former President Obama to the rescue:
Former President Barack Obama is endorsing Democratic former Rep. Abigail Spanberger in the Virginia governor's race and starring in two new digital ads for her campaign.
"Virginia's elections are some of the most important in the country this year," Obama says in both ads, shared first with NBC News, which focus on the economy and abortion rights.
