With the Barbie movie, leftists hijack

another bit of nostalgic Americana

American Thinker, by Andrea Widburg

So, the movie is a mostly well-disguised college course in postmodern, anti-American, woke drivel. The movie also gets leftist kudos for being a celebration of LGBTQ-ness. According to Out, “Barbie Is an LGBTQ+ Party…”

From reading pro- and con-Barbie movie reviews, I’ve learned that Barbie Land is great to look at, the movie is a woke celebration or nightmare, depending on your viewpoint, and men are the last bastion of true femininity, and fairy tales have reverted to their ancient place as adult entertainment, Having grown up playing with Barbies, I watched some of the promos for the movie. Visually, they were great. Barbie Land’s buildings, interior design, beaches, and bright clothes really did look like Barbie’s world brought to life. Closer viewing revealed that these Barbies were irritatingly shrill (my Barbies never were) and the Kens vapid. Even worse, it became increasingly clear

Movieguide correctly identified Barbie’s real audience: Adults. This is the same audience to which Disney now caters. Its theme parks and movies aren’t making money from families; they’re making money from adults who refuse to grow up, with the LGBTQ+ crowd being one of the largest single blocks of money-spending nostalgics.

That fairy tales are adult fare is a reversion to the historic normal. The original Grimm’s Fairy Tales are grim, indeed, being rife with assault, murder, cannibalism, sex, and rape. The same is true for Charles Perrault’s fairy tales, which were written for the sophisticated adults in Louis XIV’s court. It was a combination of Victorian sentimentality and Walt Disney that turned these raunchy, disturbing tales into children’s fare. Now, the adults—raunchy, disturbing adults—are taking them back.

If you want standard leftist fare in a brightly-colored package, Barbie may be for you. Otherwise, save your money and your child’s innocence.

CNBC Puts All Blue States In Top 10 States

To Live, Red In Worst 10

Newsbusters, by Alex Christy

CNBC’s Scott Cohn portrays himself on Twitter, not as some progressive commentator, but as simply a “journalist.” However, on Friday, Cohn released two articles: one on the top ten states to “live and work in” and one for the bottom ten. Despite all the migration out of blue states and into red states, Cohn’s top ten was exclusively blue, while his bottom ten was exclusively red. Right away it was obvious that Cohn started with a predetermined conclusion that red states are terrible, defining liberal policies on social issues to be positive, “The study measures quality of life issues including crime, health care, childcare and health care, as well as

Mayor Eric Adams says New York City no

longer has room to shelter asylum seekers

CBS News, by Naveen Dhaliwal

NEW YORK – There are new developments in New York City's struggle to house recently arrived asylum seekers. Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday the city has been carrying the weight of the nation's crisis and now there is no longer space for new people coming in, citing the absence of state or federal aid. He said he has put a plan in place that will begin in the next couple of days to help move current migrants out of shelters to make space for families arriving with children. With an average of 300 to 500 people still arriving daily, the mayor said the city will begin providing 60-day

Louisiana Legislature Overrides Governor's

Veto of Bill Protecting Kids From Transgender Surgeries

PJ Media, by Chris Queen

The cultural conflicts that play out in various states become complicated when the legislature and the executive come from different parties. Take Louisiana for example: in the Bayou State, the legislature is heavily Republican, while Gov. John Bel Edwards is a Democrat. (snip) The legislature voted on and passed three bills: HB81 would have required teachers and school staff to use a child’s birth pronouns unless parents consented to use alternate pronouns; HB466 was Louisiana’s version of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law; and HB648 prohibited gender treatments for minors. As one would expect of a Democrat, Edwards vetoed all three bills.

Marjorie Taylor Greene shared explicit images of Hunter Biden with prostitutes during the Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday. The Georgia congresswoman warned parents watching at home before her time questioning IRS whistleblowers that 'discretion is advised.' The shocking moment went out on the C-SPAN live stream as well as other cable network channels airing the hearing, including Fox News.'Should we be displaying this?' Democratic Ranking Member Jaime Raskin questioned at one point during crosstalk with other members of the panel.
