I was not surprised by actor Christian Bale’s acceptance speech at the Golden Globes Jan. 6 in which he thanks “Satan” for his unflattering portrayal of former Vice President Dick Cheney (2001-2009) in "Vice" (2018). I would have suffered a massive heart attack or a debilitating stroke if the awards night had been completely free of any conservative bashing one-sided liberal politics. Rest assured, you wouldn’t be reading this blog if that had occurred as I would have drifted off this mortal coil into the netherworld somewhere between Heaven and Hell. If I was lucky, I’d most likely be in Purgatory.
Bale’s comment is the latest display of bile spewed by the “Hollyweird” left wing elite against conservatives and President Donald Trump. They include, among them, Robert De Niro’s “Fuck Trump” speech at the Tony Awards, Johnny Depp’s assassinating Trump comment for which he later apologized, and comedian Kathy Griffin holding a bloody severed head of Trump in a photo. If Hollywood conservatives made such comments against President Barack Obama during his presidency (2008-2016), would they have gotten away with saying such remarks, or at the very least, receive a slap on the wrist? That’s like saying if a diabetic patient skips their daily insulin injections for a month, they’ll still be able to physically function as their blood sugar numbers climb over 1000.
It’s bad enough I am bored by 99 percent of all the sequels (Star Wars not withstanding), comic book-franchise movies and needless remakes (I DON’T WANT TO SEE A REMAKE OF "WEST SIDE STORY" (1961), MR. SPIELBERG!!!!)
If anything positive has come out of Hollyweird’s continuing “I hate Donald Trump or any Republican congressional leader” campaign, it is that documentary filmmaker, Michael Moore, failed to repeat the same controversial box office success with his release last September of "Fahrenheit 11/9" (2018). His latest film went after President Trump much the way he targeted President George W. Bush in "Fahrenheit 9/11" (2004). Things were different in 2004, however, when that film came out. The Internet was still in its infancy and social media was not around as-yet. The no weapons of mass destruction debate with Gulf War II along with 9/11 was still fresh on Americans minds.
If Moore wants to blame anyone for his latest debacle that audiences stayed away from, perhaps he should blame the drive-by media. After all, the drive-by media are, since Trump’s 2016 election, who have been inundating viewers with their endless 24/7 “I hate Trump” coverage.
Radio talk show host and conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh nailed it on why Moore’s film flopped last September.
“Here’s the problem with Moore. He goes out there, produces this anti-Trump movie, and he forgets that audiences don’t have to pay any money to see it. All they have to do is turn on CNN! All they have to do is turn on PMSNBC,” Limbaugh said on his show Sept. 28. “All they have to do is read the Washington Post, the New York Times. Why go to a movie, and why pay whatever it costs to go see a movie where you can see the same thing every night, every day over and over again for absolutely zilch?”
“The #CMAAwards are proving that you can have an awards show be a success without politics. It’s the ONLY award show I’ve watched all year and I’m so grateful it’s focused on celebrating great music and musicians. A big THANK YOU” wrote a woman named Melanie.
“Just people Comin together celebrating good music. No word of politics, no agendas being pushed, just strictly entertainment” wrote another named Loveee.
If audiences have a love for “Hollyweird’s politics” why then did the 2018 Oscars have the worst viewership with a decline of 20 percent over the 2017 telecast? Don’t tell me viewers tuned out only because they were not interested in any of the movies nominated. By comparison, viewership for this year’s Golden Globes was also down with 18 million viewers over the 19 million in 2018.
I’d like to think the “Hollyweird Elite” will finally get it that audiences don’t want to see politics mixed in with their entertainment. That notion, however, is nothing more than an impotent male’s hope for a wet dream; much like the same kind of wet dream Nancy Pelosi spoke of on Jan. 2.
Upon her being elected again as Speaker of the House of Representatives when congress convened, Pelosi commented how the Democratic Party will be "transparent, bipartisan and unifying", and will "seek to reach across the aisle in this chamber and across the divisions in this great nation."
That statement, which overflowed with hypocrisy, lasted about twelve hours.

Hollyweird’s negative political opinions is the reason why I only saw five movies at the box office in 2018 and only two of them, I liked. Such is also the reason why I avoid watching the Oscars because I can no longer stomach the personal politics of the nominees and winners in their acceptance speeches. (Don’t even get me started on the “Black Oscars Matter/Minority Actors Matter Movements)!!!!

The bottom line is audiences don’t want to see politics in movies and awards shows. They go see movies in hopes of getting away from that. They don’t want to see it posted on their Facebook pages on social media. They don’t want to hear about it from family members during the holidays at the dinner table. They don’t want to see spoiled; overpaid NFL football players take a knee during the Star-Spangled Banner to protest police brutality towards African Americans.You want proof of this, look no further than the tweets people posted under #CMAAwards about the Country Music Awards last November, hosted by singers Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, which was free of any political commentary.
