The Academy Awards: Viewer ratings for the 2021 Oscar show plummeted to an all-time low. Only around 10 million people watched, that's about a 58 percent drop from the viewers they had last year, which at 23.64 million people held the record for the worse ratings in the show's history.
Clearly the country as a whole doesn't care about the movies or the people who make them anymore.
When the movie industry stopped producing pictures for the majority, the majority stopped watching. Simple as that.
Movies have become just another propaganda tool for the far-left progressive agenda, reenforcing the same messages and platforms that are now regularly taught at colleges, universities, and yes, even grade schools, throughout our country.
Whether it's animation, superhero flicks, or any other film, the uber-liberal social messages are always apparent. Pure entertainment and personal drama don't get made anymore.
Old Hollywood is dead.
How appropriate is it then, that this year's Academy Awards show was held at the old Los Angeles Union Station, a once grand passenger train station which exudes class and luxury that has now degenerated into a shadow of its formal self and a bus station. The perfect place for today's movie industry.
And speaking of leftists, that brings us to May Day: May 1st, otherwise known as May Day is just a happy carefree time to celebrate Springtime by dancing around the May pole, right? Tra-la-la, tra-la-la! Well, no, not exactly.
If you look it up, there are literally dozens of explanations for the origin of May Day. What most people don't realize is that modern May Day was procured and promoted by the Communists to further the Marxist ideology around the world.
In 1889, May 1st was chosen as the date for "International Workers' Day" by the . . . Socialists and "Communists" of the "Second International" to commemorate the Haymarket affair in . . . Chicago.
"What was the Haymarket Affair? It was the aftermath of a bombing that took place at a labor demonstration on May 4, 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago. "
The whole thing began as a "peaceful rally" in support of workers striking for an eight-hour work day, but it escalated into violence (sound familiar?).
Police were called which led to someone getting killed and others being injured. An unknown person threw a dynamite bomb at the police as they acted to disperse the meeting, and the bomb blast and ensuing gunfire resulted in the deaths of seven police officers and at least four civilians; dozens of others were wounded.
The event became internationally publicized and the legal proceedings that followed resulted in eight anarchists getting convicted of conspiracy. So HAPPY MAY DAY EVERYONE!
On another note, the CDC has given permission for people to take off their masks. HOO-RAY! No. Wait. It is only for those who have been fully vaccinated.
And even if you are fully vaccinated, you still need to keep the mask on when you are inside. But you can take off your mask if you are outside.
But wait! Only if you are outside all by yourself or with members of your immediate household who also have been fully vaccinated. Oh, and everyone should keep wearing masks at crowded outdoor events such as concerts or sporting events.
And another thing, the agency continues to recommend masks at indoor public places, such as hair salons, restaurants, shopping centers, museums and movie theaters. Other than that, everything is copacetic.
Until a new strain breaks out and our elected dictators decide that all bets are off and all masks are on.
I'll conclude this week's column with a message from Louisiana Senator John Kennedy to anti-police activists.
"I've said it before, if you hate cops just because their cops, feel free to call a criminal, call a meth head the next time you get in trouble."
