Ashley St. Clair is all of us. Well, she might not be you. She might not even be me. Although I see some of myself in her. But she is this mess we've built. Like all of us, she has played a role in this ongoing virtual Civil War between Left and Right, played out amid tangled algorithms, giant egos, hurt feelings, and cash flow. She is the same age as my daughter, just 28 years old, but it feels like she's lived five lifetimes. She has shapeshifted from MAGA to having Elon Musk's baby, to a public fight over said baby, to throwing herself at the feet of the Left, branding herself as a one-woman confessional who will dangle all of the dirty details of “the MAGA cult” like bloody chum to hungry sharks.She is smart enough to know two things. First, the Left still controls most of our culture. If you want book deals, successful podcasts with the top-tier advertisers, or stories about you in the New York Times, or even movie deals about your life, you have to be accepted by them. And second, they won't accept you unless you bring the goods. And boy does she ever. What do you want to know, she says on her TikTok as she applies gobs of makeup she doesn't need - contour, foundation, concealer, blush, more concealer, more contour, powder. Do you want to know MAGA is a cult? Here you go. Are they racists? Oh yeah, she says, as she dabs her eyes with a powder puff.She might not realize it, but her makeup is a metaphor for the role she's playing now, a real person hiding under layers and layers of disguise. Who is she this time? She's the one talking to Jennifer Welch, the Wicked Witch of the Left:She was on with the chipper lunatic Suzanne Lambert:And Haley on the Go:And the most cringey of all was a giggly appearance with our favorite Cartier Communist, Hasan Piker. Baby Mama BluesAshley has not gone full Monica Lewinsky and claimed victimhood to excuse her role in becoming yet another baby mama for the Henry VIII of Silicon Valley, Elon Musk. She does seem to take some responsibility for agreeing to go to bed with him upon first meeting. He even asked her what name she liked. Elon was upfront about what he wanted from her, and she seemed fully on board.As a hot conservative female who already had one kid in her early 20s, her ovaries were calling Elon's name. He slid into her DMs before sliding into other places - yes, says Ashley, she joined the Mile High Club, courtesy of Elon's private jet.But one thing an influencer, however fluid in politics, must preserve is their platform. What good is having the richest man in the world's baby if you can't brag about it? Be known for it? Have instant status because of it? Not to mention the child having to wander around the planet, not being Elon's son, while everyone knows he is, like that b*****d son of Henry VIII.St. Clair is throwing around the figure of $40 million to buy her off, but she doesn't say exactly who is offering it. Musk had originally offered a deal with $15 million up front and then $100,000 per month to raise the child, money most people couldn't imagine in an entire lifetime. But that came with an NDA. She refused.Musk has said he gave her $2.5 million up front, then $500,000 per year. She has said he slashed her child support payments, causing her to sell her Tesla to cover expenses. Either way, whatever she's gotten is not enough, not in 2026 when the platform is everything. Ashley St. Clair wants more.And in that way, too, she is all of us and this grotesque online machine we've all helped build, where a person can become a star overnight, then the object of scorn, with an angry mob attempting to destroy them as the entire internet watches. She was viciously attacked as a gold digger by MAGA, then they made AI porn of her, she says, even depicting her as an underage sex object, which is why she's suing Musk.How it started, how it's goingAshley St. Clair started her career as a blonde, appearing on Fox News pushing the MAGA line:And at the Babylon Bee, making content like this:Her past warring against the transgender community means it's iffy whether or not she'll ultimately get a pass, no matter the mea culpas she's handed out like candy. This TikTok user says forget it.After all, Ashley St. Clair wrote a children's book in hopes of saving some of the young from destroying their bodies. It kind of seemed like she believed it, right?Since then, however, she has found ways to get out of it. She's thrown herself at the mercy of prominent Democrats like podcaster David Pakman:She's talked about how ignorant she was, how she fell into a cult and didn't know what she was doing. She talks about her past of being locked away and home schooled, where she was isolated from other people, before going to college and hitting the party scene, and eventually, to hear her tell it, she ended up in a cult.I know what it feels like to believe in a movement, then get chewed up and spit out, and find myself in a place where I'm telling all of the secrets of my former side, trashing them to the delight of the opposition. I know what motivates her and why she so badly needs affirmation and acceptance. But confessing her sins wouldn't be enough for people whose ultimate goal is to end Trump and MAGA forever and retake power. They need a lot more than just confirmation of their mass delusions about Trump (he's Hitler!) and MAGA (it's a cult!).No, they needed a way to deny reality yet again and cast themselves as the real winners. How could they, the most perfect people in the world, have lost to Trump? Why did half the country reject them again? It's a truth they still can't face. Lucky for them, Ashley St. Clair has gifted them with the perfect way to explain the 2024 election. It was rigged by Elon Musk. The Democrats have done everything they know how to do to destroy Donald Trump and his MAGA army. They have framed him as a Russian spy, called him a racist, a rapist, a bigot, a dictator, a fascist, Hitler, a king, and a felon. They impeached him twice, indicted him four times, and attempted to throw him off the ballot in several states. He has survived three assassination attempts so far.They've obstructed everything he has tried to do, from cleaning up the streets to closing the border to bringing manufacturing back to stopping Iran from getting a nuke. He's stood up for women who are forced to deny reality by competing against biological boys. He's stood against “gender affirming care” that destroys the bodies of children who can't consent.If Trump is for it, they are against it. They have pressured all artists to take a side against half the country, in Hollywood, in music, at the Kennedy Center. They insist that supporting him is like supporting Hitler, even if he's beating back his own right flank by standing up for Israel.And yet, for the Left, he is the only thing standing in their way and for all of us the only bulwark against total societal control. It all sounds great because it absolves the Democrats of any blame. See, they did everything right. It wasn't a coup against a sitting president running for re-election or the installation of his Vice-President without a single vote. Or that she was a terrible candidate. No, it wasn't their fault they lost. It was Elon's space lasers.Now that she has their attention, the warnings are getting more urgent, just in time to prepare for the midterms.And that is the real gift Ashley St. Clair has laid at the feet of the side she hopes will embrace her, value her, accept her, and elevate her. If she can help them win elections, whether the midterms or 2028, she can destroy both Elon Musk and MAGA. Well, how could a $40 million payout even compare?I would just offer her one word of caution as someone who came from the Left. Don't tell them what they want to hear. Tell them what you know to be true because that's what they need to hear. Confirming their mass delusion only sinks them in deeper. They don't realize it yet, but their empire is in a state of collapse, and not a moment too soon. The counterculture is rising to take its place. When that happens, Ashley St. Clair will want to be more than just a footnote hitching a ride on a sinking ship. // This is a public episode.

Our ongoing series of Wizard of Oz adaptation reviews reaches Journey Back to Oz, an animated movie that Filmation started producing in 1962. However, they ran out of money, and the movie sat around unfinished for a full decade, until Filmation had some cash rolling in from their cheapo Saturday morning cartoons. Was Journey Back to Oz worth the wait? Yeah, sort of. It boasts an all-star cast led by Liza Minnelli as Dorothy, the role her mom played in the classic 1939 movie. Also in the cast: Margaret Hamilton (the Wicked Witch back in 1939, now playing Aunt Em), Ethel Merman, Danny Thomas, Mickey Rooney, Larry Storch, Mel Blanc, Milton Berle... and Paul Lynde. (Yikes, with Paul on board, they could have skipped the movie and just played a round of Hollywood Squares.) And yes, Journey Back to Oz also features a talking signpost, a wooden horse, Jack Pumpkinhead, evil trees, gay trees, and plenty of chickens. Watch it just once, and inside your brain, the angry green elephants will never stop screaming.

God made a promise to King David that his bloodline would sit on the throne of Israel forever. That promise was called the Davidic Covenant — and for 325 years, it was tested by 20 kings, hostile nations, and one wicked queen who came within one baby of ending it entirely. In this message, Pastor Kevin Weatherby walks through all 20 kings of the southern kingdom of Judah — their strengths, their failures, how they lived, and how they died. Some were great. Most were not. And one evil woman named Athaliah — the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel — seized the throne and tried to kill every royal heir in the house of David. She thought she had extinguished the line. She was wrong. One infant was hidden by his aunt in the storerooms of the temple, and the promise of God survived. Key Scriptures: 2 Samuel 7:16 | 1 Kings 12:11 | 1 Kings 15:11 | 2 Chronicles 16:12 | 2 Chronicles 20:12 | 2 Chronicles 21:14-15 | 2 Chronicles 22:3 The Story of God is a 10-week series tracing the full arc of Scripture — from the garden where God walked with man, to the city where He will live with man again.

The Davidic Covenant — God's unbreakable promise to David All 20 kings of Judah — their walk, their failure, their end Athaliah — the wicked witch who nearly ended the line of David One baby.

We're clicking our heels together three times and heading to Oz, baby, and it's not what you expected.This week, Berly and LA dig into one of Season 9's most unexpected episodes: a full-on Wizard of Oz crossover that opens in black-and-white 1935 and goes completely off the rails from there. Dorothy Gale is real, she's a hunter, she's been trapped in a jar in the bunker for eighty years, and she has opinions about men. The Wicked Witch is also real, she's furious, and she is not going to let a little thing like being tongueless slow her down.Charlie gets called in to help with a computer situation, ends up in the middle of all of it, and has what can only be described as a very big day. Dean's bedroom yields a crucial plot device. The bunker reveals a few surprises, including a garage (Baby is safe, everyone breathe), and Crowley, still chained up downstairs with his crayon, somehow manages to make himself useful.LA also gets into the surprisingly rich real history of L. Frank Baum, and it genuinely makes the Supernatural version of him feel less far-fetched than it should. This one was a good time. LA called it as a favorite before the episode even finished.Think fairy tale crossovers belong in Supernatural? Did you love this episode as much as LA did?

On the table: Of course a VA update with some prognosis and theories as to why the Wicked Witch of VA has yet to sign her unconstitutional signature gun grabber bills. What is she waiting for any why? Does huge Republican turnout against her unconstitutional redistrcting have anything to do with her timing? Will she simply let them become law without her signature? Likely NOT so why the wait? Recent court cases and SCOTUS action, or rather, lack thereof and more with Cam Edwards!

Cultists, we've been inspired by the release of The Bride! this month to put Frank Roddam's film of the same name on the Exam Table. Taking 1935's Bride Of Frankenstein as a jumping off point and bringing back several actors from Roddam's Cult Classic, Quadrophenia. The film reimagines The Monster and The Bride as star-crossed lovers to mixed results.

In this episode of Discovery, we speak with Professor Peter Nicolas from the University of Washington School of Law about his new copyright law class, a case study of "The Wizard of Oz." The class debuted in winter quarter and included a mandatory group outing to "The Wiz" musical at Paramount Theatre. Since The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was published in 1900, eventually entering the public domain, each new rendition raises fascinating copyright questions. The 1939 MGM film, "The Wizard of Oz," was separately copyrighted and introduced new expressive elements, along with reinterpretations like "The Wiz," a book and its corresponding Broadway musical which reimagined the story through an African American cultural lens. Nowadays we have spinoffs from the book Wicked which tells the backstory of the Wicked Witch followed by the Broadway musical and now a two-part film adaptation, beginning with "Wicked." Professor Nicolas explains how copyright law goes beyond technical doctrine to be a framework that determines who can tell stories — and how.

The final season opens the way a premiere probably should: with a big emotional homecoming, a whole lot of Ridge warmth, and just enough mess to remind you this show never lets anyone stay comfortable for long. Mary and Blake are thrilled to be back in Outlander with Bear McCreary, Fraser's Ridge, and all the familiar faces — but they also dig into the episode's biggest problem: the Faith thread, which feels less like elegant storytelling and more like the show getting a little too cute for its own good. Ratings Mary's Kilt Rating: 4.2 / 5 Blake's Kilt Rating: 3.8 / 5 Mary, who famously never goes easy on premieres, still lands pretty high here because the episode feels like a genuine homecoming. Blake's a little lower: he loves the Ridge reunion, Frank's presence, and the emotional texture of being back — but the "Faith of it all" drags the score down. Spoiler Warning Full spoilers for Outlander Season 8 Episode 1, "Soul of a Rebel." Episode Snapshot Jamie and Claire head back to Fraser's Ridge, and the premiere wisely leans into that sense of reunion. Everyone's back, the house is full, the hugs are doing heavy lifting, and for a little while the episode lets itself enjoy being home. But under all that comfort is a much stranger tension: Frank's book hangs over the story, Black Jack Randall echoes creep back in, William is spiraling hard, and the episode's big Faith twist raises way more questions than confidence. Add in creepy Cunningham energy and a mother who feels like the Wicked Witch of the West, and you've got a premiere that's emotionally rich, occasionally goofy, and definitely ready to start arguments. Also in this episode Why the beginning of the end is bittersweet — but still the right call for the show The Ridge reunion and why "homecoming" is the episode's saving grace Frank's book, Black Jack Randall echoes, and why Blake will never not care about Frank Mary's love for Bear McCreary's score and the updated Skye Boat Song The Faith twist, or as this podcast might call it: zombie baby vs. fake Faith William's self-destruction tour and why Lord John is basically his exhausted therapist Why the Cunningham stuff lands as creepy even when it borders on cartoonish Blake's wild theory that if the show really wanted to go for it, it would kill Jamie Listener feedback setup for the final season Segments Included Opening banter on the bittersweet joy of getting a real ending Mini recap Episode details Kilt ratings GBG: Good, Bad, Great Does this feel like a proper premiere?

Lawrence Zarian welcomes actress Justine Lupe to his podcast and they joke about prisms, John Hamm comparisons, and first meeting at The Kelly Clarkson Show. Lawrence asks Justine what she sees in the mirror, and she says she most identifies through her relationships—as a daughter, mother, sister, wife, and friend—crediting her close, codependent upbringing for prioritizing intimacy and safety over career volatility. They discuss her early creative spark (playing the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz), her New York years, and her work on Succession (choosing Shiv on a desert island) and Nobody Wants This, including Morgan's vulnerability, fearlessness, and dynamic with Sasha. Justine talks about transparency around body image and social media, advises focusing on soulfulness over aesthetics, and defines relationship essentials as mutual respect, vulnerability, and optimism. She ends by stating she is beautiful because she is soulful, kind, thoughtful, and deeply witnesses the people she loves.Timestamp Menu: 00:17 Prism Compliments00:58 John Hamm Mixup02:10 Kelly Clarkson Encounter05:33 Singing Suddenly Seymour07:06 Finding The Right Fit08:47 Mirror Question Identity11:21 Family Roots Of Closeness15:19 Midwest And New York Years16:58 Early Spark For Acting20:00 Parents And Healing23:10 Succession Breakout26:32 Desert Island Roy Pick28:57 Nobody Wants This Praise29:43 Fearlessness From Dad30:41 Embracing Goofy Humor32:56 Fearless Creative Risks33:35 Trusting the Film Crew35:56 Desert Island Character Pick36:48 Why Morgan Resonates39:25 Morgan and Sasha Chemistry41:33 Body Image and Transparency43:56 Advice for Social Media Pressure53:23 Season Two and Relationship Keys58:21 Beauty Definition and Farewell

In this episode of Cinema Verbi, Father Matt and Father Brian reflect on the movies they watched in 2025 before diving into a discussion about Wicked (2024) and its sequel, Wicked: For Good (2025). They explore the evolution of the story from Gregory Maguire's original novel to the Broadway musical, and finally to the big-screen adaptations. Our hosts discuss themes of friendship and debate the value of reinterpreting old stories, examining how these films reshape (or don't reshape) our understanding of the iconic Wizard of Oz (1939) film.(0:26) Father Matt and Father Brian open the show by welcoming listeners to 2026 and reflecting on their experience hosting a live episode on It's a Wonderful Life (1946) last month. They highlight the communal nature of cinema and the importance of gathering and sharing films together.(2:24) The priests discuss their Letterboxd stats, including the number of films watched, total hours logged, favorite actors, and prominent themes from 2025. Father Matt highlights Paul Walter Hauser as his most-watched actor of 2025, and they share their first, last, and favorite movies of the year.(12:41) The conversation shifts to the episode's main topic: Wicked (2024) and its sequel, Wicked: For Good (2025). Father Brian explains the significance of these movies as adaptations of the Broadway musical and Gregory Maguire's novel, noting how the story has been reimagined for a new generation of viewers.(15:25) They discuss the history of the “Wicked” novel, its 2003 Broadway debut, and its long-running popularity. Father Brian shares his personal experience seeing the musical on tour many times, while Father Matt has only seen it performed once in East Lansing. They also analyze the decision to divide Wicked into two movies, comparing it to other adaptations like Dune. They debate whether the second movie truly adds value or simply prolongs the story for commercial reasons.(19:10) Father Matt and Father Brian explore how Wicked reinterprets the original Wizard of Oz, giving the Wicked Witch of the West a more nuanced perspective. They debate moments in the film that “tip their hat” to the original Oz story, weighing cleverness and homage against fan service and overuse of nostalgia.(30:05) The hosts examine the film's deeper themes, including power, manipulation, and the treatment of animals. They highlight how Glinda and Elphaba's friendship develops despite their differences and reflect on the two films' enduring message of friendship, personal growth, and the lasting impact others have on our lives.(41:33) The episode concludes with our hosts sharing their “seeds of the word” ratings for the films, based on how clearly they saw goodness, truth, and beauty reflected in the story.

The IPS DEPROGRAM session from late January 2026 focuses on the deconstruction of what it describes as manufactured historical events and the identification of predictive programming within mainstream cinema. The broadcast analyzes recurring symbolic patterns—such as the color green and the number 37—to argue that modern news events are scripted "psyops" designed to manipulate public perception,,.Engineered Martyrs and the "37" Pattern: The analysis identifies a recurring pattern where "martyrs" of the left, such as Renee Good and Alex Preddy, are both 37 years old and die under circumstances that mirror fictional scripts,,. This includes a Green Beret who blew up a Cybertruck, also aged 37, suggesting a templated approach to these news stories,.Predictive Programming in Cinema: Movies like Wicked (Part 1 and 2) and The Madness are framed as "reinforcement content" that prepares the population to accept specific narratives,. For example, the Wizard of Oz character is viewed as a proxy for Donald Trump, while the "Wicked Witch" represents marginalized groups or Antifa rising against a "fraudulent" system,,.Symbolism of the Color Green: The broadcast traces the use of the color green—from the Joker's hair and the "Emerald City" (Seattle) to the band Green Day and the "Green Beret"—as a code for the political left and Antifa-led class warfare,,. This symbolism is seen as a tool for calculated provocation against the right.The Media Duopoly and the "World Stage": IPS posits that both mainstream and alternative media exist as a duopoly that operates within the same fictional universe,. True deprogramming involves moving to an "off-world stage" perspective to recognize that the entire "forest" of media is fake, rather than just individual "trees",.Mind War and Manufactured History: Drawing on the concept of "Mind War" (linked to General Paul Vallely), the session argues that history is being "bent" and scripted decades in advance,. This creates a hyperreality where real life and scripted events are merged so perfectly that the public can no longer distinguish between them,."This is not cherry picking. This is more like film criticism than anything. We're looking at the artistry, the craft.""What are they being prepared to believe? Because if they see it on TV, they'll believe it... They're already accepting the narratives.""If you're not pointing out that the whole forest is fake, you're wasting your time. You have to have the wide view.""The predictive programming content can be looked at as product placement advertisement for future historic events, which will be portrayed on the world stage.""We are nonbelievers... we delineate between the two timelines and refuse to believe the fake stuff."IPS.monster: The central hub for latest replays, Discord access, and think tank research,.timosman.substack: Blog featuring in-depth analysis on the symbolic meaning of the color green and other deconstructions,.If you are interested in a deeper look at specific movie breakdowns mentioned, such as The Madness or Mickey 17, would you like me to focus the next part of our conversation on those cinematic parallels?Key Topics and ThemesKey QuotesRelevant Links

"Wicked: For Good" is a musical fantasy sequel directed by Jon M. Chu that adapts the second act of the "Wicked" stage musical, itself inspired by Gregory Maguire's reimagining of "The Wizard of Oz." Starring returning cast members Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, and others, the film follows Elphaba and Glinda as they embrace their identities as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good. Developed over a decade and split into two films to preserve the story's depth, production faced delays due to the pandemic and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Released by Universal Pictures in November 2025, the film grossed $523 million worldwide, earned awards recognition from the Critics' Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, and was named one of the top ten films of the year by both the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute. Ever since its release, the Next Best Picture team has been conducting a series of interviews with many people involved in the making of the film, which we're proud to share with you below. First up, we have my interview with the film's director Jon M. Chu, followed Cody Dericks's interview with casting directors Tiffany Little Canfield & Bernard Telsey, then we have my intervew with the film's editor Myron Kerstein, followed by Cody's interview with makeup & hair designer Frances Hannon, then Dan Bayer's interview with sound mixer Simon Hayes, and then we end with Cody's interview with visual effects supervisor Pablo Helman. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to rent or own digitally or on physical media from Universal Pictures, and is up for your consideration for this year's Academy Awards in all eligible categories.

Movement is a natural way to combat inflammation and boost energy and brain power. Rosemary tea, made by boiling rosemary for 15 minutes, is a great anti-inflammatory option. While injectable medications like Ozempic are popular, natural remedies like ginger, turmeric, and rosemary can be equally effective without the side effects. Higher Ground Available on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to music. Pope Leo advises avoiding five types of people to navigate life peacefully: those who suffocate joy, manipulators, those who diminish your growth, darkness bearers, and the indifferent. Protect your inner peace and rise above negativity to live in clarity and grace.   The original “Wonderful Wizard of Oz” book, published in 1900, explores themes beyond a children's fairy tale, including industrial era anxiety and psychological growth. The story, set in the gray prairies of Kansas, follows Dorothy's journey to the vibrant land of Oz, where she learns that the characters she meets already possess the traits they seek. The book also serves as a commentary on the free silver movement, symbolizing the dangers of relying on external authority and the importance of self-reliance. The Wizard of Oz is a political allegory, with D.C. as the Emerald City and politicians as humbugs. The Wicked Witch of the West represents modern data monopolies like Amazon and Google, who control information and delivery. Breaking free from social media and finding individual agency on a local level is crucial for true protection and empowerment. I find meaning and nourishment in exploring themes and symbolism, much as they did with The Wizard of Oz. I reimagine “The Wizard of Oz” with Dorothy as an African-American woman, representing the resilience and power of black women in politics. It highlights the overlooked contributions of women like Kamala Harris, Stacey Abrams, and Jasmine Crockett, who are portrayed as strong, qualified leaders. The yellow brick road symbolizes the path to empowerment, built through sacrifice and community. #WizardOfOzReimagined #BlackWomenInPolitics #PodcastAlert #ModernAllegory #Representation #KamalaHarris #StaceyAbrams #JasmineCrockett #Sisterhood #EmeraldCity #PodcastCommunity #JasmineCrockett #StaceyAbrams Crypto-Scammers are on some new BS..."Chen Zhi was among three Chinese nationals arrested on 6 January after a joint investigation into transnational crime lasting several months, Cambodia said." Stacy Rush is paying the girls poorly and is being criticized for her delusional behavior. Tia underestimated Stacy's delusions and is now trying to align herself with Gizelle Bryant. Angel is overreacting to all situations involving Bobby, and her self-image seems to be shattered, leading her to consider returning to Denver. Angel Massey's behavior on the latest episode of Real Housewives of Potomac is confusing and inconsistent. She struggles to fit in with the group, failing to connect with the other women and often appearing disengaged and uncomfortable. Her attempts to impress Giselle and her delayed reactions to situations make her seem out of place, and her lack of authenticity is evident to the other cast members. Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Treatable and please don't suffer in silence. This is a joyous season and sometimes we have to make an concerted effort to find the joy.

The Democrats have never been less popular than they are right now. They are suffering from many of the same problems that are causing Hollywood to collapse. They are dominated by white women and the LGBTQIA movement that looks more and more like a cult every day. Only a white woman and a gay man could have come up with the Vanity Fair photo shoot that made Susie Wiles look surprised and confused, as if to say, “What am I doing here?” JD Vance as the villain in a superhero movie, obliterating his glittering aqua eyes because those make him look too good. And depicting Marco Rubio tipping over as though all it would take is a gentle push, and down he goes.But they saved up their best for the woman the Left calls KKKaroline. Shown in extreme closeup in high resolution with every pore and every wrinkle visible, not to mention injection marks on her upper lip, they turned the beautiful and young Leavitt into the cartoon version they see in their mind's eye. They made something beautiful into something ugly. And on TikTok, they all had a big party. These are the same women who spent many months mocking Karoline Leavitt's smallish upper lip. On and on it went, the bullying videos on TikTok. When that failed to destroy the Press Secretary, they harassed and destroyed a running influencer named Kate Mac just for talking to Leavitt.These women and probably lots of gay men are the monsters. They're the wicked stepsisters in Cinderella who seethe with jealousy at the pretty blonde girl who is so confident and articulate at the podium. They're the evil queen in Snow White who can't stand that someone out there is prettier than she. So Vanity Fair became the Magic Mirror and the Huntsman. They lie to their readers that they are the fairest of them all while they try to extinguish or destroy the object of their unending obsession. Oh, how they must have laughed and laughed as they chose these photos, knowing their readers would eat it up and lick the plate clean. The women who stab lawn signs into the ground, pretend to stand for something, and portray themselves as the “better side” were celebrating to see Leavitt humiliated in a photo. It was, for them, like winning the lottery. It scratched an itch so deep they couldn't even tell you where it was. It felt good, that was all.The editor is this guy, seen here as the date for Princess Bea in high heels:Guiducci was present during the photo shoot, which should have been a good indication that this would not go well for them, though I would imagine he was dripping with fake niceness to make them trust him. If you know, you know. Here is Megyn Kelly:The other editor was Jen Pastore, seen here bragging about the photoshoot and now treated like a hero by the Good People of the Left.Back in 2014, the New York Times covered her wedding to Mark Hannah:Pastore was lovingly captured this way: “The bride burst into laughter at least once during the vows, showing off an impossibly wide smile that was half Anne Hathaway, half 1990s Julia Roberts.” You see, even in 2014, they had to stipulate, yeah, you know, back when Julia Roberts had not aged even a day? They couldn't get away with that now, or maybe they could. They make the rules, after all. It is nice to be among the privileged ruling class in America, among the Good People of the Left who see their mission to spread that goodness. And if you don't along with it, they will destroy you. Well, at least that was the plan. Trump upended it, and they've never figured out exactly why. Even now, they think all of us should want to live inside their puritanical, suffocating bubble of goodness. Newsflash: we don't. The truth is that they are not a party defined by goodness so much as all-consuming hatred for the “lesser” half of the country. It buzzes behind their fake Anne Hathaway/Julia Roberts' smile like flies buzzing around rotting meat. Their hatred is everywhere. Usually pooling and coagulating on Blue Sky, but every so often it seeps back to X, where they marshal their forces as a hate army to attack those they deem “toxic,” “dangerous,” or “disgusting.”Why did they lose to Trump a second time is a question they would never ask. Is it them? No, it couldn't be. Everyone wants to be them. They're the special people, the good people, the chosen people, the Woketopians that will take America into the future. I know what it feels like to see myself through their eyes, even though I was once one of them. They sent a photographer to take my picture for a New York Times profile of me at a time when they were trying to make it seem like they kind of, sort of cared about the half of the country that voted for Trump.Don't do it, my friend warned. Send them a selfie. I should have listened to him, but, like the Trump administration, I was far too trusting. How bad could it be?Well, it was nothing less than the worst photos of me ever taken, appearing in the world's most widely read outlet. So there I was, looking fat, ugly, and old, which is the message they wanted to send: don't be like her, or this is what you will look like. They say it openly and freely now, this is what “hate” does to you, and they define “hate” as disagreeing with their politics. The photographer was nice. She took many photos of me. And maybe it's true they were all just as bad as the one the editor chose, but I think, as with the Vanity Fair photos, they picked the worst ones because that is who they are, and if they didn't, they'd have been accused of elevating the wrong people, the bad people, the racists, and the fascists.This way, they signal to their readers - women and gay men - that they're still on their side, they're still on board with the real hate campaign, one they've waged for ten years now and counting. They have no plan for the other half of the country. All they want to do is take back power again and raise the drawbridge to their Queendom. While it's true that the Right will mock how women look, especially the Wicked Witch of the Left, Jennifer Welch, you'd never see that at Vanity Fair, or the New York Times, where women on the Left, especially minorities, are depicted as saintly. In refusing to “normalize” the wife of a “fascist,” all magazines boycotted the beautiful Melania Trump. Nothing she could do would ever change their conviction of who they believed she was. They use every magazine, every late-night comedy show, every Hollywood movie, every article in every magazine to push that lie. When they mocked Kellyanne Conway's age, she did something about it. She took that one thing off the table. They found something else. When they mocked Sarah Huckabee Sanders for her makeup and her weight, she did something about it, but they found something else. And now, when they mocked Karoline Leavitt for her thin upper lip, she didn't say anything about it, and they punished her for it. The truth doesn't matter to them. It never has. They can't even face the truth about themselves, let alone the other half of the country. Ivanka was always to be portrayed as the daughter of a Nazi, as are all the Trump children. There has never been one moment when they were given the credit they deserve, not because they're American royalty, but because we, the people, voted for them to fight for us. That used to matter in a country not under the control of an elite ruling class that sees itself as better than everyone else. Trump, his administration, and his voters have to be whatever they say they are. If they need them to be kings, so be it. Hitler, sure thing. Let us know what you want, women and gay men who live in a fantasy world, and we'll give it to you because you have been elevated inside the Woketopia. The funny thing is, all they do is expose what liars they are. We all know what Karoline Leavitt, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and Susie Wiles really look like. This wasn't about telling the truth. It was about giving their readers the comfortable lie. See, it's okay to dehumanize them and treat them like toxic waste because they deserve it. Oh, Vanity Fair, did you have to make it that obvious? They must wonder why so many Americans don't see them the way they see themselves. Or maybe they don't wonder at all. Maybe they never ask. Maybe they've been united in hate and dehumanization for so long that they don't know the difference anymore between what is real and what is a manufactured delusion.It isn't that the Right didn't mock the Democrats' press secretaries, Jen Psaki and Karine Jean-Pierre. They did. It's that the Left is the side that has always pretended to be our moral betters because they aren't like that, they don't criticize women, they don't tear down other women, except that they do. That was Lesson Number One for me almost ten years ago. They are exactly like that, and I remember thinking, we aren't the good guys anymore.The women on TikTok, those who have helped make our culture intolerable by always portraying women as victims in fiction, in Lifetime movies, in Hollywood, become the very monsters they once pretended to oppose. So all Vanity Fair did was prove not who the Trump administration is, but what the Left has become. They are nothing but a grease stain where a once mighty movement used to be.Karoline Leavitt is not only beautiful, young, smart, and successful, but she's also confident, and that's what they really hate about her. If they can't destroy her, they will try to humiliate her. It has become a ritual in the media by now, but never quite as blatantly as with this Vanity Fair piece. Maybe their readership is declining. Maybe they're bored. Maybe they don't know any other way to be anymore. Whatever it is, the stench of failure follows them around every time they signal to the rest of us that they are still this helpless and this desperate to lie to the American public with nothing less than lowly propaganda disguised as journalism. Vanity Fair, Hollywood, the New York Times - they don't exist for all of us anymore. They don't view the other half of the country as worthy of their attention or their coverage, even though Trump won the popular vote. They still haven't figured it out. They haven't solved the problem. We picked Trump because we can't stand living in their America anymore. We can't stand them. They're the side that demands conformity, one that has cultivated a climate of fear and a culture of silence. Who wants to live like that? It's boring. It's predictable. It's mean. And it's over. //Tip jar This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.sashastone.com/subscribe

Apparently in movie history, there are only 2 actors to have 3 Number 1 films in a year. This sounds crazy! So Movie Mike investigates to find out if that is actually true and breaks down what actors he thinks have had the single best year run in movies from his research. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Wicked: For Good. Now demonized as the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba lives in exile in the Ozian forest, while Glinda resides at the palace in Emerald City, reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, she'll need to reunite with Glinda to transform herself, and all of Oz, for good. Mike shares why he felt it could have been one movie, Arianda Grande and Cynthia Erivo difference in performances, how it compares to the Broadway musical but why he loves what the franchise has done for the movie theater experience. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Super Mario Galaxy starring Chris Pratt and Anya Taylor-Joy. He shares why he thinks about the new voice actors joining the cast and where it ranks on his list of most anticipated video game movies and his favorite Super Mario games. New Episodes Every Monday!

“Wicked” was one of the biggest movies of 2024. It was culturally ubiquitous, a box office smash and an Oscar nominee for Best Picture. Now, a year later, “Wicked: For Good” arrives in theaters to finish the tale of the complicated friendship between Glinda the Good Witch and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. Can “Wicked: For Good” be the sensation that its predecessor was? Will it inject new life into a movie business that has suffered a historically bad business year? Will it satisfy the legions of “Wicked” fans who have been waiting to see their favorite musical brought to the big screen?Gilbert Cruz is joined by Kyle Buchanan, a pop culture reporter for The New York Times who profiled the stars of “Wicked,” and Madison Malone Kircher, a reporter for the Styles desk and affirmed “Wicked” fanatic, to discuss what “Wicked: For Good” means for the movies. On Today's EpisodeMadison Malone Kircher is a reporter covering internet culture for The Times.Kyle Buchanan is a pop culture reporter and serves as The Projectionist, the awards season columnist for The New York Times.Photo: Universal Pictures Additional ReadingAriana Grande Still Has Surprises in StoreThere Have Been Dozens of “Wicked” Interviews.

For this week's main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Josh Parham, Lauren LaMagna & Cody Dericks join me to discuss the sequel to last year's "Wicked," titled "Wicked: For Good," starring Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum. The film adapts the second act of the 2003 stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, which was loosely based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, a reimagining of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" and its 1939 film adaptation. Darker and more complex to bring to the big screen, Set in the Land of Oz before and during the events of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," the film explores the relationship between Elphaba and Glinda as they embrace their new identities as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good, with more tie-ins to "The Wizard of Oz." Following the success of last year's film, what did we think of this emotional conclusion? Please tune in as we discuss the adaptation choices, Jon M. Chu's direction, the cinematography, the musical numbers, the powerful performances from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.
