Yes, it’s GQ. And yes, they don’t stand a metrosexual’s chance at a tractor pull of getting you to care who they think matters or not. Still, the glossy “men’s” magazine’s jokey annual list of the Least Influential People, written by Drew Magary, is instructive.

Finally, something sticks! After months of flinging just about every accusation they could think of against Trump et al, media lefties have hit on a charge that’s demonstrably, undeniably true: The Trumps have bad taste in art.

If any ensemble sums up 2016, it is the pantsuit—a sartorial statement representing power and progressivism. Hillary Clinton’s own rainbow array of suits inspired think pieces, Instagram accounts and even a highly popular invitation-only Facebook group called “Pantsuit Nation.” But on December 19, the pantsuit became a form of protest.

The last-ditch Electoral College revolt failed, so now Hollywood Lefties begin turning to other means to undermine the President-elect. Beau Willimon, the man behind the popular Netflix series ‘House of Cards,’ has been working on a new project that has nothing to do with TV. 

Pantsuit Nation—the secret Facebook group for first hopeful, then grieving, Hillary fan girls—has inspired an upcoming book based on members’ stories. However, when founder Libby Chamberlain excitedly broke the literary news, it sparked immediate division in the feminist camp. 

Shocker: there’s another Disney movie that the media wishes were more liberal than it actually is. When J.J. Abrams hinted earlier this year that the latest Star Wars film could feature a gay character, and then GLAAD decreed that the franchise needed more LGBT representation, many in the media were elated and had high expectations for Rogue One. When the film was finally released last week,…

As we close out a year in which the news media worked overtime to earn the public’s contempt, spare a thought for their little siblings at the Sports Desk. Sports hacks are just as liberal, insular and arrogant as their “hard news” colleagues, and their desire to be taken seriously means they inject politics and ideology into issues where they just don’t belong.

It’s never a good sign when you infuriate both sides of the abortion issue. Lena Dunham found out the hard way: Hollywood breaks boundaries on abortion every day, but certain limits do still exist.  

In Tuesday’s season two finale of Fox’s Scream Queens, titled “Drain the Swamp,” two random political references are tossed into the story. Perhaps that should have been expected, given the title of the episode – one of Trump’s campaign slogans, and the show’s history of political name-dropping.

As they did on election night, some celebrities began to moan of doomsday and dystopia on December 19, when the electors gathered to officially clinch who would become America’s 45th president. 

An artist’s nativity ornaments – featuring baby Jesus with either two dads or two moms – are breaking news, but they aren’t new.

Women’s magazine Elle is continuing their agenda of empowering the fairer sex… by trashing Ivanka Trump for being too successful. In her latest article, Elle writer Sady Doyle claims Ivanka resembles a “princess;” she is “blond, pretty, well-mannered, given massive amounts of power over the citizenry thanks to nothing but her genetic makeup.” Sounds like a Kennedy. But there must be something the…

On December 17, a crowd of women gathered on the snow-covered grounds of New York City’s Trump International Hotel. Dressed in red choir gowns, they pulled out songbooks and began to sing familiar Christmas tunes. However, upon closer inspection, listeners realized that the lyrics had been given a feminist twist. 

Inauguration performances use to be an honor, a celebration of America’s unique electoral system. But the media has reduced this year’s to a B-list side gig that only desperate artists would dare to play at. When news broke that popular blind tenor Andrea Bocelli would be singing at Trump’s inauguration, people took to social media and started a push to punish him for showing any support for the…
