On Boycotting the Oscars

You know here's the thing about boycotts there are some people, like me, who couldn't care less about most the stuff being boycotted.
Take Starbucks, please, I tried it once and concluded it was overpriced swill, ain't bought a cup since.
Target?
I haven't stepped into a Target in decades and see no reason to do so.

The Oscars?
Watched it one time and decided it was a waste of my time. No one I've ever worked with nor anyone in my family has ever mentioned or as far as I know cared about it.

None of us ever cared to see multimillionaires stroke their egos live.

Donald Trump supporters to boycott Oscars in protest against ‘Limousine Liberals’
It should be a glittering celebration of artistic endeavour where the women dazzle in designer gowns and men look sharp in their well-cut dinner jackets.

But this year’s Oscars are more likely to be remembered for what is said than what is worn.

Just over a month into the presidency of Donald Trump, hostilities are expected to be resumed between the new incumbent of the Oval Office and America’s entertainment industry.

Mr Trump, perhaps conveniently, will not be watching as he and the First Lady will be attending the Governors’ Ball in Washington.

But his supporters have already made it clear that they will have no truck with people they regard as “Limousine Liberals”.

A Facebook post originated by Republicans in Arizona has called on the “backbone and decent people of America” to stand up against the “bitter people of the entertainment industry”.

The group hopes its supporters will hit the television ratings by voting with their remote controls should Mr Trump come under attack during the acceptance speeches. The political sympathies of nearly all the nominees suggest that this is possible.~snip~ 
This article tries to make the assumption that actors and actresses are more important to "regular" people than they actually are. Just another example of how out of touch Hollywood elites and the liberal media are.

Nothing Sticks to Hillary

I lived in Arkansas when Bill Clinton occupied the governors mansion so it's no surprise to me that Hillary dodged charges from the FBI.

F.B.I. Director James Comey Recommends No Charges for Hillary Clinton on Email
WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said on Tuesday that the bureau would not recommend criminal charges in Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified information, lifting an enormous legal cloud from her presidential campaign, hours before her first joint campaign appearance with President Obama.

But Mr. Comey rebuked Mrs. Clinton as being “extremely careless” in using a personal email address and server for sensitive information, declaring that an ordinary government official could have faced administrative sanction for such conduct.

To warrant a criminal charge, Mr. Comey said, there had to be evidence that Mrs. Clinton intentionally sent or received classified information — something that the F.B.I. did not find. “Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,” he said at a news conference.

The Justice Department is highly likely to accept the F.B.I.’s instruction. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said on Friday that she would accept the recommendation of the F.B.I. and career prosecutors in the case, after questions were raised about an impromptu meeting between her and former President Bill Clinton at an airport in Phoenix.~
I doubt very seriously that the Clinton's will ever be held accountable for anything they've done over the years. The corruption of the elites just runs to deep.
