When Biden took office, one of his first acts was the elimination of our border security. Like a power-hungry dictator, Biden simply decided to ignore our immigration laws. His catastrophic border policy resulted in untold millions of unidentified foreign citizens from around the world pouring into our country. Its impact is now being felt in cities across the country. The worst is yet to come. PETER LEMISKA - AND WE'RE ALREADY THERE!!!

RICKY GERVAIS TELLS IT LIKE IT IS ON THE SELF-ABSORBED, SELF-PROMOTING DEGENERATES IN DRUG INFESTED HOLLYWEIRD
WHERE WERE ALL THE HOLLYWEIRDERS WHEN HARVEY WEINSTEIN, BILL COSBY AND BILLARY CLINTON WERE RAPING? OR PAY-TO-PLAY HILLARY WAS OPERATING HER PHONY CHARITY SLUSH FUND?
"Actor George Lopez appeared to accept an Iranian bounty to assassinate President Donald Trump on Sunday evening. Iranian authorities had recently put an $80 million dollar bounty on the president’s head, but according to Lopez, he’ll do it for $40 million instead."
Ricky Gervais Cancels Hollywood
Daniel Greenfield
In a bygone era, YouTube ran on videos of lefty lickspittles like Jon Stewart or John Oliver "destroying" some conservative target. Like every other trend, "destroys" ran into internet ADD and fell out of use. But Ricky Gervais' monologue at the Golden Globes is a glorious example of destruction.
It's also a reminder of the trends that helped put Trump in the White House.
Nobody would mistake Ricky Gervais for a conservative, instead his monologue displays contempt for the politically correct scolds who tried to bury him after he defended J.K. Rowling on social media, for an industry based on shameless hypocrisy, and for the elites and their lies.
That's why he went for the Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself joke.
“Shut up! I know he’s your friend, but I don’t care," Epstein responded to the booing. "You had to make your own way here on your own plane, didn’t you?!”
Epstein is a litmus test for the poles of the mainstream and the skeptics, the people who believe the media and those who don't.
But the bit that defined the night was taking a shot at the net dot com streaming kingpins and politically correct celebs.
“You say you’re woke but the companies you work for—Apple, Amazon, Disney—if ISIS started a streaming service, you would call your agent, wouldn’t you? So if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech, right? You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg,"
Despite Gervais' plea, the celebrity politicized award speeches happened anyway.
Is Ricky Gervais powerful enough to change Hollywood’s hectoring culture?
Conservatives have tended to shy away from Hollywood award shows because, in the past few years, they have all started sounding like rehearsals for Orwell’s Two Minutes Hate. This year, though, the Golden Globes, which hands out awards based upon votes from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, tried something different by hiring Ricky Gervais to host the affair, despite knowing that he would be politically incorrect and would show no fear when faced with Hollywood’s royalty.
Almost as soon as he got the latest gig, Gervais made it clear that he did not intend to pander to Hollywood sensibilities. Instead, he had some particularly choice words for political correctness’s murderous effect on humor:
People like the idea of freedom of speech until they hear something they don't like. So there's still a pressure, but that doesn't mean I'm going to water it down or back down and not say what I want. It's just another form of what we've been through many, many times — it used to be called P.C. I think those things start off with very good intention and then they're mugged. It's a good thing to not be racist and sexist and homophobic. But it's not a good thing to not be allowed to make jokes about those things, because you can tell a joke about race without being racist. I'm happy to play by the rules. It's just that the 200 million people watching have different rules. That's the plight. When people say, "He crossed the line," I say, "I didn't draw a line, you did." It's relative. It's subjective.
Gervais stuck with his principles and gave the Golden Globe audience what-for, vigorously and funnily attacking their golden idols, and then telling them not to bore or offend America by getting political. Here are a few of the funnier (and less obscene) jokes Gervais made:
“[Afterlife] is a show about a man who wants to kill himself because his wife died of cancer and it's still more fun than this. Spoiler alert, season two is on the way so he didn't kill himself ... just like Jeffrey Epstein. [Crowd gasps.] Shut up, I know he’s your friend but I don’t care. You’ll have to make your own way here in your own plane."
[Speaking about the very long Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, and star Leonardo DiCaprio’s penchant for girlfriends in their 20s,] “Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere and by the end, his date was too old for him. Even Prince Andrew is like, ‘come on Leo, mate, you're nearly 50, son.’”
"You all look lovely all dolled up, you came here in your limos. I came here in a limo and the license plate was made by Felicity Huffman. It’s her daughter I feel sorry for. That must be the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to her. And her dad was in 'Wild Hogs,' so..."
“Apple roared into the TV game with 'The Morning Show,' a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing made by a company that runs sweatshops in China. So you say you’re 'woke', but the companies you work for, Apple, Amazon, Disney... If ISIS had a streaming service you would be calling your agents. So if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spend less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So, if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your god and **** off.”
“Many talented people of color were snubbed… there's nothing we can do about that. The Hollywood Foreign press are very racist.”
Here's the whole monologue (language warning):
All we can do now is anxiously await the Academy Awards in March to see if Hollywood’s preening celebrities will take Gervais’s message to heart. America would be a nicer place if they remembered that nobody likes hypocrites and that it’s their audience that made them and their audience that can break them.
Delingpole: Ricky Gervais Deserves a Medal for Roasting the Wankerati at the Golden Globes
6:41
If there’s one lesson we on the freedom side of the argument can learn from Ricky Gervais’s superb, heroic, life-affirming performance roasting the Wankerati at the Golden Globes, it’s never, ever, ever apologise; always double down.
It’s, of course, possible that by so spectacularly dissing the hypocrisy of Hollywood culture, Gervais will have killed his U.S. career. But I think it’s much more likely that it will propel him to the unassailable league of Dave Chapelle – another of those rare celebrity voices who stared into the abyss of woke and – unlike Kevin Hart – refused to blink, and emerged stronger and more popular than ever before.
Chapelle, I thought, had set the bar pretty high for sheer daring and tastelessness with his quips on his brilliant recent Netflix show Sticks & Stones – like the one about Macaulay Culkin and Michael Jackson.
Last night’s Golden Globes were Gervais’s hold-my-beer response.
Not liberal America’s favourite smug English lard-butt:
The world got to see James Corden as a fat pussy. He was also in the movie Cats, but no one saw that.
Not venerable M from the recent James Bond movies:
But Dame Judi Dench defended the film, saying it was the role she was born to play because she – I can’t do this next joke. Because she loves nothing better than plonking herself down on the carpet, lifting her leg and licking her arse hole. She’s old school. It’s the last time, who cares.
Not Hollywood’s most beloved mobster psychopath:
So lots of big celebrities here tonight. I mean legends, icons. Look at this table alone. Al Pacino. Robert De Niro. Baby Yoda. Oh no, that’s Joe Pesci, sorry. I love you man, don’t have me whacked.
Not movies about the Holocaust:
I’ve heard a rumour that there might be a sequel to Sophie’s Choice. I mean, that would just be Meryl Streep going, ‘Well it’s got to be this one then.’
But these were just warm ups for the main event: probably the most excoriating attack on Hollywood’s hypocrisy, corruption and glib political correctness in its entire ignoble history.
We got #MeToo
But tonight isn’t just about the people in front of the camera. In this room are some of the most important TV and film executives in the world. People from every background. But they all have one thing in common. They’re all terrified of Ronan Farrow. He’s coming for you. Look, talking of all you perverts. It was a big year for paedophile movies: Surviving R Kelly, Leaving Neverland… The Two Popes.
We got Jeffrey Epstein
So in the end, he obviously didn’t kill himself – just like Jeffrey Epstein. Shut up. I know he’s your friend, but I don’t care. You had to make your own way here on your own plane didn’t you?
Then, for the grande finale, we got totally unreconstructed, utterly fearless, unimpeachably accurate truth to power:
Apple roared into the TV game with The Morning Show, a superb drama. A superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing, made by a company that runs sweatshops in China. So, well, you say you’re woke, but the companies you work for. I mean, unbelievable: Apple, Amazon, Disney. If Isis started a streaming service, you’d call your agent, wouldn’t you? So if you do win an award tonight, please don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech. You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your God and fuck off.
A particular stroke of genius, that, I thought – shoehorning in Hollywood’s current patron saint, St Greta, for the sole purpose of dismissing her antics in a supremely dismissive putdown about school truancy.
Better still, though, was the attack on the woke nexus that extends from Silicon Valley to Hollywood. Gervais is right. These are not good people. They are the totalitarians of their age – as oppressive, in their way, as the Marxist and Fascist and Nazi threats which preceded them, only much more insidious because their evil is disguised with a smiley, caring, socially conscious face.
It needed saying and finally someone dared say it.
Interviewed recently in the Spectator,Gervais explained why he will never apologise for his jokes, however tasteless:
‘Everyone’s thing is the worst thing in the world,’ he tells me. ‘We all do it. We go to a show and say “I wish he hadn’t joked about that. That’s the thing I care about”.’ He recalls playing in New York for the first time and receiving a letter from a Jewish society upset about his Anne Frank material. ‘I said to them, “You laughed at the jokes about famine, Aids and cancer. You knew I was joking there, didn’t you?” I’m playing the idiot. That’s what irony is. It’s the opposite of what you actually think. You wouldn’t satirise an idea that you fundamentally agreed with and get excited about it as an artist.’
and
In the past, the fear of being misconstrued has led him to delete jokes on Twitter. These days he takes a different view. ‘What’s the point? Why should I expect everyone in the world to get my joke? That’s arrogant. I don’t want to go so low and obvious and anodyne that everyone gets it. Now I challenge people to tell me a joke that’s not offensive and I can find something offensive in it. “Why did the chicken cross the road?” Fuck you, my chicken died yesterday.’
Gervais is right, of course. The offence-taking industry has got grotesquely out of hand – and no institutions have been more responsible for promoting this cry-bully culture of entitled victimhood than the ones that Gervais lambasted at the Golden Globes.
It’s a great start to the 2020s – a decade which, I believe, will see a growing backlash to woke culture, as we normal people realise that it’s us, not the snowflakes of academe and the mainstream media and the entertainment industry, who are the majority and that for the last two decades we’ve had our culture stolen away from us by a small, shrill minority of brainwashed fruitcakes.
Gervais’s Golden Globes performance may yet come to be recognised as one of those pivotal events where we all finally realised that the Emperor of Woke is in fact wearing no clothes.
The man deserves a knighthood, at the very least, for services to Western Civilisation.
Ricky Gervais at Golden Globes: You’re All Perverts
1:12
Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais delivered his opening monologue on Sunday at the awards event, and called the room full of A-list stars, directors, and producers “perverts.”
“In this room are some of the most important TV and film executives in the world, people from every background,” said Gervais. “But they all have one thing in common: they’re all terrified of Ronan Farrow. He’s coming for you. He’s coming for you.”
“Look, talking to all you perverts,” he added, “it was a big year for pedophile movies. ‘Surviving R. Kelly.’ ‘Leaving Neverland.’ ‘The Two Popes.'”
During his opening presentation, Gervais also dragged members of Hollywood for being a “friend” of the deceased convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who the host added, “obviously didn’t kill himself.”
“Shut up, I know he’s your friend, but I don’t care,” interjected Gervais after the audience seemed to react with gasps and murmurs. “You have to make your own way here, your own plane, didn’t you?”
