LOUIS DE BERNIERES: All bow to the High Priests of cancel culture... who are so powerful I was warned NOT to write this article condemning them

Earlier this year, Sir Kazuo Ishiguro, one of our greatest writers, expressed anxiety that young authors were being forced into self-censorship out of fear of being trolled by the anonymous lynch mobs of the politically correct.

Even though I was warned not to write this article by a well-meaning friend, I decided to go ahead because my partner insisted that I must. She is full of the dread of what will become of us if there is no resistance.

My own fears have roots in the past. My parents are both dead now, but they were proud of having struggled through World War II because our freedom of speech and thought were thereby set in stone.

In fact, we didn’t become truly free until the Lady Chatterley trial, when Penguin was found not guilty of obscenity after publishing D. H. Lawrence’s sexually explicit novel about a love affair between an aristocratic woman and her gamekeeper.

Ever since then, we have steadily been losing ground. I think I might have lived at the best time in our cultural history, set up for freedom by my parents’ generation, and dying just in time not to see us spiral back down again into a stultifying intellectual and moral captivity.

‘GRINCH Act’ introduced to protect children's books from cancel culture: ‘No one is safe’

Rep. John Joyce, R-Pa., is fighting back against the cancel culture and argued no one is "safe" from the "woke" movement.

The Pennsylvania lawmaker is introducing the Guarding Readers’ Independence and Choice (GRINCH) Act to safeguard children’s literature from being "canceled." The GRINCH Act will cut off government funding for agencies that censor books.

"The reaction has been so positive...the cancel culture is rapidly attacking our American institutions, our libraries, our school," Joyce told "America’s Newsroom," Friday. "I'm alarmed at the left's attempt to cancel historic books characters."

Sharon Stone calls for the cancellation of ‘small’ cancel culture

Sharon Stone says cancel culture is the “stupidest thing” she has ever seen — and she was in “Catwoman.”

The 63-year-old Emmy and Golden Globe winning actress told SiriusXM host Jenny Hutt that writing people off rather than hearing them out is a missed opportunity for all involved.

Graham Norton thinks it’s ‘weird’ that gay men are ‘expected’ to get married and have kids

The chat show host told The Sunday Times that he’s long been “fascinated” with how young queer men today consider having children.

“It’s like, do you know how much that costs?” the 57-year-old said.

“It’s so weird isn’t it, that there’s now an expectation that we’ll get married and have kids. I’m glad I’m not having to face those decisions.”

Norton, who is single, said he has never wanted to go down the single parent route and have children on his own.

Pinkerton: Dr. Seuss Sales Bonanza Shows Why Wokeness Will Lose

It’s now been nearly three weeks since Dr. Seuss erupted into the news. Yes, the eruption is a bit strange, as the famed children’s book author died three decades ago. And yet the story is important because in it we see two things: First, the zealotry of left-wing cancel culture, which made the choice to pick this fight, and second, the power of center-right backlash in response. Yes, when confronted with the abnormal, it’s necessary for normal people to fight back.

Moreover, as the Seuss Saga plays itself out, we are seeing that while the left can win the first battle, the right can win the war.

In fact, in the case of Dr. Seuss, Americans have been actively defending their right to read. In the days after Dr. Seuss’ cancellation, his books soared to the top of Amazon’s best-seller list; indeed, as the Associated Press reported on March 11, Dr. Seuss sold 1.2 million books in the first week after the partial cancellation, more than quadruple the total from the week before.

This is how Trump gets reelected, by the way. Cancel Dr. Seuss, cancel Abe Lincoln, melt down Mr. Potato Head’s private parts and throw them at the Muppets. That is his path to victory the next time around.

White House staffers asked to resign or work remotely after revealing past marijuana use

Several White House staffers were asked to resign, were suspended or are working remotely after revealing past marijuana use during their background checks, sources familiar with the situation tell CNN.

Five people are no longer employed at the White House, while additional staffers are working remotely. In many of the cases involving staffers who are no longer employed, additional security factors were in play, including for some hard drug use, the official said.

While marijuana use is legal in many states, it is still illegal on the federal level, which can present a hurdle in the federal security clearance process.

Jewish groups condemn CNN's Don Lemon for remarks suggesting Black and Brown Jews don't exist

Anti-Semitism awareness organizations are condemning CNN anchor Don Lemon for remarks he made this week suggesting that Black and Brown Jews don't exist.

Lemon appeared on "The View" Tuesday to promote his new book "This Is the Fire: What I Say to My Friends About Racism". During the conversation, Lemon insisted that the nation needs to be "realistic" when speaking about God and The Bible. According to him, that starts by presenting "the true identity of Jesus" as a "Black or Brown person."

Critics Choice Association Expels Jeffrey Wells Following Posts About Atlanta Shootings

Jeffrey Wells, the veteran film industry commentator who has long operated the widely read blog Hollywood Elsewhere, has been indefinitely suspended by the Critics Choice Association, the group of journalists that presents the annual Critics Choice Awards.

The decision to sanction Wells, which was made by the CCA board Thursday night, came in response to "a pattern of offensive, insensitive and unprofessional behavior," The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Kevin Frazier blasted for suggesting black women educate Sharon Osbourne

“Entertainment Tonight” host Kevin Frazier suggested that a number of prominent black women in Hollywood come together to help Sharon Osbourne “learn” about race.

Osbourne liked the post, but it did not go over well with several black actresses, including “Insecure” star Seale.

“You must be outta yo gotdamn mind. How bout you put your energy into providing a safe space for those on the show who have been terrorized by her rampant racism/classism/xenophobia,” she replied.

Frazier shot back: “Been doing that for years… I wanted to hear your thoughts that’s why I tagged you, I respect your opinion, not trying to get into a scrap.”

“Well, you missed the mark this time, BROTHA,” Seales said.

The Oscars Just Gave Up

The voting body is today much more diverse and much younger than it was in 2009, but its tastes are so out of the mainstream that the Oscars are today a sort of West Coast version of the Independent Spirit Awards, giving all of its attention to art-house offerings. The average American looks at this year’s list of obscure Best Picture nominees — Mank? Nomadland? Promising Young Woman? Judas and the Black Messiah? The Father? Minari? Sound of Metal? The Trial of the Chicago 7? — and thinks: I have no interest in any of these titles. All of them are downers, most of them push an overt political agenda, and none of them puts a beloved movie star front and center except The Father (in which Anthony Hopkins plays a man being destroyed by dementia). There is no glamour or Hollywood magic attached to any of them. All of them are essentially TV movies (though all of them had pro forma theatrical runs). Most of them are more interested in wrestling with intractable social problems (which, being intractable, tend to frustrate audiences) than in entertainment.

The Internet Now Wants To Cancel Miss Piggy After Pepé Le Pew

Ever since the 1970s, Miss Piggy has been lashing out at her green beau Kermit whenever he says the wrong thing, as well as generally acting aggressively to get the good-natured frog’s attention, even though Kermit is often depicted as not being as into her as she is him. With Le Pew getting cancelled for less violent behavior, Twitter users are arguing that maybe Miss Piggy should be held accountable, too, with some people being more serious about it than others.

Bruno Mars Addressed Claims That He's Appropriating Black Culture

Bruno Mars has responded to claims that he's appropriating Black culture.

"The only reason why I’m here is because of James Brown, is because of Prince, Michael [Jackson] — that’s the only reason why I’m here. I'm growing up as a kid, watching Bobby Brown, saying, ‘OK, if that’s what it takes to make it, then I’ve got to learn how to do the running man, I’ve got to learn how to do the moon walk.’ That’s it. And this music comes from love, and if you can’t hear that, then I don’t know what to tell you.”

Gunplay Addresses Widely Condemned Video Showing Him Shouting Anti-Asian Slurs

In the footage in question, recently shared by WorldStarHipHop but circulating since at least a month ago, the Maybach Music Group-affiliated artist is seen calling someone on his Live a “g**k piece of shit” and a “corona-having ass motherfucker” before later pulling a page out of the Trump book by referring to coronavirus as “China virus,” an inaccurate and inflammatory term which has become a staple among xenophobes over the past year.

“I have no problems with Asians, you know, I would love to fuck an Asian bitch,” he said. “I been to the motherfuckin’ massage place. I fucked one before. They got some good pussy. You see what I’m saying? I’m trying to get me some Asian pussy here. Y’all fucking me up now.”

The New York Public Library will keep six controversial Dr. Seuss books on the shelves despite this week’s decision to cease their publication due to racist imagery.

The library, which serves Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island, said it does not censor books and will keep the controversial titles in circulation until they are no longer in suitable shape to lend out, a spokeswoman said.
