The Banality of Biden? By Steven Hayward You may have missed the news that a celebrity named Joe Biden has signed up with the powerhouse Hollywood talent flacks at Creative Artists Agency. Worth noting how CAA describes their new client: “President Biden is one of America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs,” Richard Lovett, co-chair of CAA, said in a statement. “His lifelong commitment to public service is one of unity, optimism, dignity, and possibility,” Mr Lovett said. It is a sign of Biden’s lifelong mediocrity, in which he has always been a follower and never a “leader” on anything except his own self-regard, that CAA needs to persuade us that Biden is “one of America’s most respected and influential voices.” Has there ever been another president who needed to be described in this way? Being a former President of the United States was usually self-explanatory, and required no PR boost. Not to mention the sequel—that Biden had a lifelong commitment to “unity, optimism, and dignity.” He was the opposite of all three things from beginning to end. There is something almost Shakespearean that Biden, having panted pathetically after the presidency for his whole life, was enabled by his party bigwigs to get the office (as an expedient to stave off a Bernie Sanders nomination, not because of Biden’s animal charisma and vision) only after he had reached his dotage, likely unable to perceive that he was a mere figurehead or puppet for the party’s ideologues—the ideal vehicle to conceal the growing radicalism of the Democratic Party. His senility, obvious mediocrity, and manipulability were a feature, not a bug. Until it couldn’t be concealed any more, when the party bigwigs discarded him like Ted Kennedy did with an empty bourbon bottle. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/02/the-banality-of-biden.php

Hollywood Has a Wild PR Nightmare on Its Hands After Nominating a Male for 'Best Actress' Oscar Teri Christoph As you may know, Hollywood was recently full of self-congratulations when they nominated a biological male in the Best Actress category of the upcoming Academy Awards. The actor's name is Karla Sofia Gascón, and he starred in the Spanish-language film "Emila Pérez,” which aired on Netflix. Gascón was the belle of the ball as the movie racked up 13 nominations and the actor was lauded for being the first trans person to be nominated for an Oscar. Oh, how they all celebrated themselves for being so generous and open-minded! There were a few problems, however, including the fact that apparently no one liked the film. https://redstate.com/terichristoph/2025/02/04/hollywood-runs-from-dude-they-nominated-for-best-actress-n2185221
