Comedian Reveals Stunning Example of Hollywood’s Liberal Bias

https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/steve-byrne-prime-video-late-night-bias/

Quote
Steve Byrne follows the funny wherever it leads him.

To the Left. To the Right. Or straight down the middle.

For that. he’s faced professional and personal punishment. “You’re MAGA,” his peers have cried, simply because he told jokes that occasionally target the Left.

Now, he’s sharing some behind-the-scenes dirt in the comedy field, and it’s far from pretty.
...
A few years back, Byrne decided to lean into that appreciation. He pitched a one-hour special to Prime Video inspired by classic late-night TV tropes.

“The Last Late Night” gave Byrne a chance to pay homage to the format, fused with his signature wit. The special included a classic monologue, too, and the comic had a distinct vision for its political approach.
...
He shares on his podcast how he wrote eight jokes that hit the Left and another eight that mocked the Right.

Fair. Balanced. Johnny would approve. Except Prime Video had other ideas.

“I was told, ‘We’re going to promote it. We’re so happy to do this. This is gonna be awesome.’ Then, I get word, ‘You have to take out these eight jokes.’ Guess which eight they didn’t want me putting in? I don’t think I have to even tell you which eight I was asked to take out,” he recalled.

If he didn’t do as told, the special wouldn’t appear on the platform.
...
He caved, something he said he probably wouldn’t do now.

“At the time, I really needed a win. I was getting a lot of ‘no’s,'” he said.

So what happened next? Byrne says the streamer buried the special, putting it on the platform without promotion or marketing muscle.

He caved and his heresy was punished anyway.

Let's analyze these dubious claims:

Quote
One exposed the fact that Donvict was informed about the big tech affair with the spy

That is the fabled "according to sources familiar with the matter". There is zero proof that The President knew anything about this. Additionally, maybe you should ask Ro Khanna about this:

Well, Well, Well: Ro Khanna Seems to Have Sold His Nvidia Stock at a VERY Convenient Time

You'll never guess who managed to sell their Nvidia stock just in the nick of time, before the crash began.

Trade With Congress
@tradewithcong
Well, well, well

Rep. Ro Khanna sold
$NVDA
 right before Nvidia's CEO admitted to having a Chinese spy side piece

He's a member of the following:

- Strategic Competition between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party Committee
- Taiwan Caucus
- High Tech Caucus

Apparently, federal agents informed some lawmakers last year that Jensen Huang might be the target of a foreign intelligence operation

He avoided a ~26% dip

Marco Rubio reportedly spent over $1.2m of taxpayer money traveling to son’s football games
Ethics watchdogs question necessity of the US secretary of state flying between DC and Gainesville so often

Nothing fishy in the least, considering as Secretary of State he is REQUIRED BY LAW to fly a private jet rather than fly commercially. This has been the precedent for decades.



WaPo Tried to Shame Marco Rubio for Being a Great Dad, and It Blew Up in the Blink of an Eye

The Washington Post tried on Wednesday to turn Secretary of State Marco Rubio's trips to his son's football games into a taxpayer scandal, then spent much of its own story explaining why it isn't one. It was an impressive bit of self-owning.

The paper reported that Rubio has made 23 trips to Gainesville, Florida, on military aircraft since March 2025, including 15 classified as personal. He has attended at least 10 Florida Gators games over the last two seasons, including five this fall.

His son, Anthony Rubio, is a senior and walk-on running back for the Florida Gators.

Using Defense Department rates, the Post put the flight costs above $1.2 million.

It's hard to imagine where the Post was going with this, but they clearly thought they had something. "Flying by pricey military jet, Rubio rarely misses a Florida football game," the headline sneers.

The same report also noted that Rubio "is required to travel by government plane," that, like the defense secretary and the directors of the FBI and CIA, he is "barred from flying commercially for security reasons," and that when he travels for personal reasons he must "reimburse the government the equivalent of an economy-fare ticket."

If that weren't enough, a government ethics expert told the paper that "Rubio's travel complies with federal rules."

Impeach! Or something.

“I have and will continue to try and make it to as many events that are important to me personally and to my family as possible,” Rubio told the Post.

That did not stop the paper from framing the trips as a cost to taxpayers and reaching for a comparison to former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, whose personal travel was audited during the Biden years. Even that didn't work, as the Post itself pointed out that "the transportation secretary is not among the Cabinet members required to travel on military aircraft."

Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs Dylan Johnson said the secretary of state, like the President, Vice President, and Secretary of War, is "REQUIRED to use military aircraft to maintain access to secure communications" and added that Rubio is "entirely unapologetic and will continue to attend as many of his family's events as his jobs allow" — including "his son's football games for his final year of college football."

Johnson added that the Buttigieg comparison was "moronic."

Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt offered an alternative headline: "Washington Post confirms Secretary Rubio is a great dad."

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admits to affair with suspected Chinese spy

https://www.semafor.com/article/11/08/2026/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-admits-to-affair-with-suspected-chinese-spy

One of the dodges China has used to get US technology is to have "legitimate" businesses buy more than their real business activities need and ship the extra to China.

This Is Probably the Last Straw for Jensen Huang

I wasn't surprised that Jensen Huang was trying to hang onto his job once word broke that he'd been sleeping with a suspected Chinese spy. I wasn't sure his gambit was going to work. It seemed like a 50-50 proposition at best.

But I think the news this afternoon probably brings those odds way down. According to a new report by the NY Times, Huang also had an affair with a woman at his company who reports directly to him.

Quote
Jensen Huang, the leader of Nvidia who is under investigation for an affair with a woman who U.S. intelligence determined is a Chinese spy, also had an extramarital relationship with an executive who reports to him, according to five people who worked at the company.

The relationship, which has not been previously reported, was with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care, said the people, who spoke under the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive information. ...

Mr. Huang, 63, and Ms. Powell, 48, were captured on video being affectionate at a San Jose, Calif., hotel during a Nvidia conference in March, according to two of the people who worked at the company. The New York Times has not seen the video.
...
In March, Ms. Powell appeared at GTC, Nvidia’s annual developer conference in San Jose, where she spoke about using A.I. to aid in breakthroughs in health care and biology. Her presentation used cartoon depictions of Mr. Huang.

During the conference, Nvidia executives were at a nearby hotel for meetings. Mr. Huang and Ms. Powell were seen being affectionate at the hotel. One bystander captured the interaction on their phone, three people briefed on the incident said...

Mr. Huang’s security witnessed the bystander with their phone and sequestered them, the people said. They made the person an offer to sign a nondisclosure agreement.

Somewhere in Silicon Valley, a divorce lawyer is gearing up for a major, lucrative, case.

"Don't talk about stuff that makes Democrats look bad!!!"

The examples of "Republicans turning on one another" aren't half as bad as what's happening, and will continue to happen, in the Democratic Party.

Bwaaah MAGAts are turning on one another



As if they’re already rotting in the ground.
One exposed the fact that Donvict was informed about the big tech affair with the spy - now that one has his tax payer funded trips to football games exposed.

I need more butter for my popcorn.

It gets better: 8 of the 11 Democrats who didn't show up (including their House Whip) were at a fundraiser hosted by an organization called Elect Democratic Women, which is connected to AIPAC.

That's going to rankle many Democrats, especially the far-left variety.

Caught this tangentially related story today about "Top 8 Democrats to Watch for 2028". I'll add my editorial comment when necessary:

Mark Halperin’s 2028 Democratic Power Rankings Have One Big Problem

Veteran political journalist Mark Halperin has released his first “8 for ’28” rankings of potential Democratic presidential contenders since the midterm elections, but as with any early horse race, he acknowledges there’s a chance many of those on the list won’t even run for president. Also, the two men at the top share one enormous problem.

Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.) and Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) claim the top two spots, in that order, after convincingly winning reelection in battleground states.

The two men were the biggest winners of the midterms, and Halperin argues they are the only two Democrats most Republicans he talks to genuinely fear facing in a general election. Ossoff jumped from No. 8 on last month’s list, and Halperin says he easily could have ranked him No. 1 after talking with Democratic sources, who were most impressed by both men’s communication and fundraising abilities.

But the obvious problem is that both are Jewish, a big negative for the increasingly antisemitic Democratic Party. Halperin wonders whether two hypothetical developments might make that more palatable: Benjamin Netanyahu no longer being Israel’s prime minister and the Iran war receding from the headlines. He also notes that Ossoff is less culturally Jewish and observant than Shapiro, so “maybe he cheats the difference there.”

If you think the antisemites in the Democratic Party will be okay with a Jew who doesn’t observe the Sabbath and criticizes Netanyahu, watch this video of California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-11th District), who is Jewish and as progressive as they come, being harassed at a trans march in San Francisco.

~~~ SNIPPING THE REST ~~~

But here are the other 6:

#3 : Sandy Cortez
#4 : Greasy Gavin
#5 : Chest Feeder from South Bend
#6 : Heels Up Cackala
#7 : That Goobernor from Kentucky who no one knows shit about but the media loves.
#8 : Seditious former bald astronaut

https://pjmedia.com/aaron-hanscom/2026/11/11/mark-halperins-2028-democratic-power-rankings-have-one-big-problem-n4959257

My humble opinion. In this current and likely future atmosphere, the Democrat/Socialist/Communist Party absolutely cannot run a Jew. Their rules not mine, as I have no issues with Judaism or any form of Christianity or peaceful religion. Noticed that the cherubic billionaire nepoboy Goobernor of Illinois isn't listed. He's also a a Jew. Rich and Jewish? Two strikes against you, fat boy.

I miss the barely one-year election run-up to a Presidential election. And when all ballots are counted within a day or so. I suppose the social media atmosphere creates this claptrap and hubbub constantly. But sadly don't think we can ever get back to that.

Oh, the backstabbing has only begun, DUrps. Your party just can't help itself.

Once they betray their country, betraying the DUmp'Rat proles who foolishly put them "in power" is ridiculously easy.  :thatsright: :loser: :popcorn: :bigbird: :foff:
