Let’s Encourage Hollywood Phonies to Punch Each Other

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

Last week I suggested here that the Oscars would be yet another yawn. The actual awards were – at this writing I still do not know nor care who won Best Picture, but I do know that Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. Democrats having public sissy-fights? I can get behind that, though it does explain a lot about Hollywood’s recent troubles that there were zero consequences for the attacker, and that the victim was Chris Rock instead of Bill Cosby.

The new narrative on Ketanji Brown Jackson and her Disney-like toleration of perverts is that being concerned about pedos is somehow a sign of affiliation with Q. Now, it’s a tribute to the bizarre ideological hothouse that our garbage elite grows in that they think that somehow associating an intense dislike of child molesters with Q is going to make Q less popular. Also, did you notice Q has totally disappeared?

And masks just sort of disappeared too. Not all of them – here in Cali, lots of weirdos still wrap gauze around their pieholes as a magic totem against the scary vapors that bring (for 99.7% of folks) mild flu-like symptoms – but most of them. Poof. One day every one was walking around like an extra from ER and the next you could see mouths again. Ah, the curative power of bad polling.

Will Smith Hits A Guy And Libs Pretend That’s Great

I noted last week that: 

If you are of a certain age, back before the interwebs, you remember that the Oscars were a big deal. Everyone watched. The whole family, in one place, watching broadcast TV! And everyone talked about it the next day.

Now? Nada. Zip. Nope.

Well, I was wrong. Everyone was talking about Will Smith smacking Chris Rock, pushing such topics as Biden wanting to go to war with Russia out of the headlines. Rock made a rather anodyne joke about Smith’s wife’s bald pate and, after initially laughing, Smith got up and hit him then went on a profanity-laced tirade. Look, there are times when slugging someone for insulting your wife is justified. A big event where roasting is part of the game, where the subject is one your wife has been open about (Pinkett-Smith publicly and unashamedly owns her hair loss), and where the joke is about a 1 on the 1 to 100 Schlichter scale of cruelty, is not such an instance. Perhaps Smith was over compensating. Perhaps he should have slapped one of the dudes who got busy with his wife, something else he has publicly and unashamedly owned.

Yeah, I know the current flex is to shrug and refuse to judge, but we should totally judge. Look for an upcoming column on our excessive tolerance for deviance.

In the meantime, I’m generally against normalizing unnecessary violence, but for Hollywood nincompoops I will happily make an exception. Next time, perhaps they can have at each other with pool cues.

But think about it. A bigger guy assaults a smaller guy on TV for no good reason. And he not just gets away with it but gets a standing ovation. Now, ask yourself why so many men in Hollywood think they can use women like sex dolls for decades.

They think they can because they can.

It’s Official – If You hate Pedos You Love Q

From the “You People Do Not Get Out Enough” file comes the newest narrative distraction from our garbage elite. If you are concerned that the next Supreme Court justice just does not seem to think that pedophilia is a big deal, or any deal at all, judging from her feather-light sentences for convicted perverts, there’s only one possible reason.

You love Q.

Yep, before Q came along and starting going on about how molesting kids is a bad thing, everyone was pretty mellow about it. It was no biggie, according to the regime media. But then Q came along and started exploiting Democrat tolerance for perversions and, well, it was all about the Q.

First of all, has anyone heard of Q in like a year? Some randos trusted the plan and, well, the plan was untrustworthy and they finally moved on to other obsessions. Q is the political Macarena – “Oh, I remember that ridiculous thing from long ago. Wonder what happened to it?”

Well, Q lives on in the fevered brains of liberals. Q owns a rent-free condo in their collective brain right next to where Donald J. Trump lives. If you wanted Q news in 2022, you tuned to MSNBC because that’s the only place you would have heard about it until this amateur hour distraction. Can you just see the White House comms geniuses working out the Q angle?

“Holy guacamole, but our nominee is soft on pedos!”

“I know! Let’s say that only Q people care. Also, you are racist for culturally appropriating guacamole.”

“But I identify as Latinx, so you’re the racist. And yeah, let’s go with blaming it on Q.”

Put another way, Democrats are trying to normalize pedophilia by de-normalizing people who oppose it. Will it work? Probably not. Why? Because only leftist weirdos and conservative activists who had to hear about Q for the last couple years recognize the term. Most normal people have no idea what the hell Q is and when they hear the latest narrative they’ll probably think, “Well, if Mr. Q dislikes sex pests too, he’s okay by me!”

I cannot wait until November.

Where Have All the Masks Gone?

Most of America has been free for a year or more, but freedom has only just come to blue enclaves like my own LA. One day, the masks went away. Not all of them – there are still a fair number of strange-os who insist on biking, driving, walking, and shopping with a face thong, but for most people it just stopped. Some of us were ahead of the curve. We would just … not. No big deal, just no mask. We were not there to hassle employees who had to enforce the rules; we just did not feel like playing by them. Only a very few proprietors would complain, and then we got to choose whether to put one on or to move on.

But now that’s all over even though COVID still exists at significant rates. What’s different, I wonder? What’s the science say?

Well, the science says even the blue weenies are tired of perma-masking and COVID theater, and that November’s coming.

Oh, it sure is!
