Former billionaire and disgraced rapper Kanye West may be barred from entering Australia over past antisemitic remarks, a government minister said on Wednesday. Education Minister Jason Clare condemned West, who legally changed his name to Ye, for making “awful” comments admiring Hitler saying others who had made similar statements had been denied visas. West is planning a trip to Melbourne to visit the family of his new partner, Bianca Censori. “People like that who’ve applied for visas to get into Australia in the past have been rejected,” Clare told Australia’s Nine Network. “I expect that if he does apply, he would have to go through the same process and answer the same questions,” Clare said. Kanye West was suspended from Twitter and Instagram this weekend after he made several antisemitic posts, including a warning that he intended to go to “death con [sic] 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE” in subsequent posts. https://t.co/Tp3FNVxbSo — Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) October … [Read more...] about Kanye West Could Be Denied Entry to Australia for Antisemitic Comments

The network hadn’t done a traditional late-night talk show since the short-lived “Into the Night With Rick Dees” (hosted, coincidentally, by another Los Angeles radio veteran) in 1991, and the time slot’s previous inhabitant, “Politically Incorrect,” had been canceled due to declining ratings — and controversy over 9/11-related comments host Bill Maher had made. Those early reviews were rough ( including Variety , which lamented that “ABC is stuck with a show designed by a network that’s not quite ready for cable”) and the show struggled in its early months to book guests.

Banks made her woke-crushing comments in an interview with The Guardian where she hailed her newfound Miami as a place where people “mind their fuckin’ business.” Banks also felt that the media has unfairly maligned Florida, saying that she feels “way safer” in the Sunshine State than in Los Angeles. She also believes that Gov. Ron DeSantis has a practical way of governing. “He’s focused on the basic shit,” she said. “There are elderly people in our country without walkers, who don’t have the money to get a septic tooth pulled. If we’re talking about divvying up healthcare funds, those situations should take precedence to facial feminization surgeries and stuff like that. I mean, I get it – but that’s a cosmetic surgery. Like, does your penis work? Can you pee? You’re not as in trouble as the older woman who can’t afford her … [Read more...] about Rapper Azealia Banks Praises Ron DeSantis: I Feel ‘Way Safer’ in Florida than in Los Angeles
