Say that’s not so! Name that party! The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general has released hundreds of pages of emails plus other documents in support of its investigation of improper influence on the EB-5 immigration program. Many of the documents discuss hundreds of millions of dollars in financing for film and television productions from Sony Pictures and Time Warner with prominent politicians including former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendall

Gwyneth Paltrow — Obama drone begs he be given “all of the power he needs” [Darleen Click]
It’s a wonder she didn’t rip off her clothes, fall at his feet, and scream “DO ME, DO ME NOW” right in the middle of her fund-raiser-cum-worship-service. Gwyneth Paltrow has won numerous awards for her acting, but speaking apparently came with some difficulty Thursday with President Barack Obama standing beside her. “You’re so handsome that I can’t speak properly,” the actress, singer and food writer gushed after introducing Obama to

Law & Order SVU has an idea! Let’s have Paula Deen murder Trayvon Martin! [Darleen Click]
This is one of the many reasons I watch HGTV. ‘Law & Order SVU’ is tackling racial profiling head on in an upcoming episode that winds together the controversial Trayvon Martin case and the Paula Deen scandal.

Hollywood Left is full of hypocrites? You don’t say! [Darleen Click]
The Hollywood Left, from George Clooney to Sarah Jessica Parker, who have become Obama’s WestLeftcoast ATM love canoodling with Barry and Michelle. They will tell you they are totally down with social justice — like Sean Penn pimping for Hugo Chavez. Yet, even as Hollywood is in California, a state with one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation and over a third of the nation’s welfare recipients —

Why not start with a 20% excise tax on the film industry? [Darleen Click]
Steven Spielberg, George Clooney and other 1%-centers of Hollywood just can’t get enough of Barry Obama and his plans to redistribute the wealth. Well, guys and gals, time to put up or shut up. Time to lead the way or get out of the way. I mean, in the early 1950’s Hollywood continued to cheer on FDR’s 20% excise tax … right? Hollywood discovered Laffer Curve before Laffer did. In
