Cuban-Americans gave Ronald Reagan 90 per cent of their vote. No other American ethnic group approached this level of devotion. Even “southern whites,” America’s most reliably Republican voting bloc, fell short of this “Hispanic” group’s support for The Gipper. A

Though Free Press outwardly expressed condemnation at the approval of the Comcast-NBC Merger earlier this month, they really got a lot of what they bargained for. After their extensive lobbying blitz – with approximately 35 different FCC communiqués, including over

Americans must learn two concepts to better understand the political earthquake the United States is now pushing as President Obama gives his nod to “the Arab street,” predominantly organized, it seems, by the Muslim Brotherhood, to force out an ally,

A travesty if the rumor is true. A font does not a logo make. So, is this the final logo design? Or just one of many? Will NBC Universal’s logo really be going without the peacock? Why mess with a

We at Big Hollywood find it impossible to believe that strident tax-raising advocate Alec Baldwin would even consider fibbing on his own taxes in order to play less than his fair share. Furthermore, we look forward to reporting the news

American patriots, from Tea Parties to social democrats are being urged to show up as a ‘flash mob’– preferably with a red gag or bandanna over their mutually non-violent mouths — or at least to noise it up, in media

Bill Maher brings a unique perspective to what drove Jared Loughner to his horrific crime.

When they spoke, they spoke in one voice, and they were heard. They were black, they were white, they were Irish, they were Polish, they were Catholic, they were Jews, they were one. That’s what a union is: one… Why

Friends of Israel have long fumed over what they felt was the human rights community’s disproportionate and unfair criticism of the Jewish state: Major rights organizations typically portray Israel as among the cruelest of nations, while this planet’s actual dictatorships

Jews are flummoxed by rhetorical attacks. Are they paralyzed by a “virus?” Reports surfaced a few weeks back that Stuxnet, the virus mysteriously implanted in the computers running Iran’s nuclear sites, is still wreaking havoc, despite claims by Teheran that

Because we’re fans of “Gone Baby Gone,” “The Town,” and feel he was unfairly destroyed by the gossip press (and the all kinds of awesome “Reindeer Games”), Big Hollywood has been good to Ben Affleck. So we’d like to respectfully

The hopes and dreams of conservatives around the nation came to fruition, at least partially, on Monday as President Obama’s healthcare bill finally found resistance from the judicial branch. With another lawsuit backed by twenty states hitting the docket, Obamacare

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton must have given Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu quite a reception. Otherwise it is hard to understand what possessed him to accept the deal he accepted when he met with her last week. Under the
