Well, the way I see it … I must be the only one looking at the whole Will Smith/Chris Rock Oscar slap another way. For these last couple of decades, most especially these last few years, these Hollywood a-hole elites have been closed-fisted smugly (drunkenly/stoned) targeting, preaching, bullying and insulting everyone/anyone on that stage. The public has pushed back by not watching their sh*t-fest, self-gratification awards show(s), and even a continuing huge drop-off of box office draws. But finally, a well-deserved slap in-the-face that I am seeing as a “got what they asked for” (to paraphrase Kamala) for self-righteous, self-important collective S&M and child/sex-grooming Hollywood.

Glenn Reynolds @ Instapundit:

“IF WASHINGTON IS HOLLYWOOD FOR UGLY PEOPLE, HOLLYWOOD IS HOLLYWOOD FOR TRASHY PEOPLE … Well, to be fair, the Oscars is a garbage show about a garbage industry run by garbage people.”

Yep.

Anyhow, I’m shrugging a bit of a *bullshit* call on the slap. First thing I pondered upon seeing the story very early this morning is that it was scripted. These Hollywood dregs cannot be genuine in anything they say or do.

Janelle Ash: Oscars: Will Smith slaps Chris Rock over Jada Pinkett Smith joke

Easiest way to tell the will smith slap was real was how he almost fell over cause it was the first time he ever actually hit someone

Maybe so, or he was drunk.

Twitchy: Here’s the completely bonkers uncensored clip of Will Smith smacking ‘the s*it’ out of Chris Rock at the Oscars

Twitchy: ‘Mostly peaceful’ assault? CNN tweets about Will Smith smacking Chris Rock in the most CNN way possible

So, why are some people deleting their social media reactions supporting Will Smith?

NYPost: Rep. Pressley apparently deletes tweet praising Will Smith for Chris Rock slap

Twitchy: Reps. Ayanna Pressley and Jamaal Bowman delete tweets praising Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock over his bald hair joke

Well, to be #WOKE clear, if they cannot define what a “woman” is then chivalry is indeed dead.

That all said and done, if this is the top highlight clip of Hollywood’s Oscars from these last couple of decades of descent into idiocy, they had better reflect upon themselves because with this Bidenflation projected to get worse and worse their pocketbooks are going to suffer bigtime when folks choose gas for the family/work car, a gallon of mike for the kids and “hotdogs and beans” for the 6th night of dinner over a $10+ box office ticket or a $30 DVD/Blu-ray.

If Will Smith had done that to Dave Chappelle, Chappelle would be into his third uninterrupted hour of Jada jokes

I’d start with “Hello. I hope this show helps cheer up the ordinary people watching at home. If you’re unemployed for example, take some comfort in the fact that even if you had a job, your salary probably wouldn’t be as much as the goody bag all the actors have just been given.”

— Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) March 27, 2022

“I’m proud to announce that this is the most diverse and progressive Oscars ever. Looking out I see people from all walks of life. Every demographic under the sun. Except poor people, obviously. Fuck them.”

THR: Oscars Slammed for Playing Toto’s “Africa” as Daniel Kaluuya, H.E.R. Took Stage: The Academy Awards later played Madonna’s ‘La Isla Bonita’ for Stephanie Beatriz. “Honestly, how in the hell is this happening?” … Hollywood has mutated into an even worse parody of a bad parody of itself.

Twitchy: Can’t. Make. This. Crap. UP! We’d say you won’t BELIEVE who these 2 Oscars sponsors were but everything is stupid so you totally WILL

Anyhow, I can’t wait to see this year’s lowest ratings ever for this stupid-assed awards show.

Onto “the news”…

Robert Spencer: Hunter Biden’s Laptop Contained Defense Department ‘Encryption Keys’

Old Joe Biden’s chip off the old block, Hunter Biden, has been many things: board member of the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma; vice chairman of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation; sought-after artist; and international bon vivant, but he has never been known to have served in the Department of Defense. So why does his infamous laptop contain, on top of everything else that is incriminating on it, Defense Department encryption keys that are not available to private citizens?

Margot Cleveland: Hunter Biden’s Laptops Are Now An Active National Security Threat: An urgent concern for the country is the continuing threat to our national security posed by a compromised President Biden.

Alana Goodman: Congressman Seeks Facebook, Twitter Records Related to Suppression of Hunter Biden Laptop Story

Stephen Kruiser: The Morning Briefing: Gosh, There Sure Is a Lot of Hunter Biden News These Days

Shmuel Klatzkin: The Corruption of the Biden Administration Is Now in Plain Sight: There is an inevitable price to pay for tolerating corruption.

Joe wonders what kind of ice cream they have in Iran— er, Ukraine…

There are two versions of Biden’s remarks. The one he gave, and the one his handlers in the WH and media claim he meant.

Breitbart: Reports: Joe Biden’s Call for Regime Change in Russia Not Part of Prepared Speech: The White House confirmed Sunday that President Joe Biden’s call for regime change was not part of his prepared speech. … Actually, it was one in a longline of gaffe-loaded one-liners that Joe popped-off across the Atlantic that the left and the neo-con conmen are now trying to bolster as brilliant, or something…

Twitchy: HOO BOY, talk about a blue-check buffet of BATSH*TTERY praising Biden’s Russia speech (here are the BEST or worst – LOL)

That speech was not about regime change in Russia it was about the long term stakes in the fight between democracy and autocracy. Unless the Biden team formally says it has a regime change policy, I wouldn’t take one line as such a consequential shift.

— Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) March 26, 2022

So to clarify, President Biden does want the butcher to remain in power?

“You’re going to see when you’re there, and some of you have been there, you’re gonna see — you’re gonna see women, young people standing in the middle in front of a damned tank just saying, ‘I’m not leaving, I’m holding my ground,’” Biden said.

A White House official quickly clarified that Biden wasn’t changing his stance on deploying the military into Ukraine.

“The president has been clear we are not sending US troops to Ukraine and there is no change in that position,” a Biden spokesman told The Post.

CNBC: President Joe Biden to propose new 20% minimum billionaire tax … DO NOT disregard the tweet-quote prior to this link. It shows exactly how the left will trickle-down the definition of “rich” in their agenda to “tax the rich” right on down to you and everyone.

President Biden is moving forward with the new tax on unrealized gains. https://t.co/VptZm0ECC3 The move to focus on billionaires is an effort to get the public to accept a new form of taxation. It is then likely to be used with a wider array of taxpayers. https://t.co/xKdjCdEyA7

— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) March 28, 2022

…While this may be politically astute, it is constitutionally dubious. This is not “income” but a clever form of “wealth tax.” It has long been the objective of democrats looking for untapped revenue. https://t.co/wuxwMb18On
