Broadway star Patti LuPone wants the Kennedy Center to get Blown Up!
Broadway star Patti LuPone wants the Kennedy Center to get blown up.
I'm Tomi Lahren, more next.
The loving and tolerant Left is at it again.
This time it's 76-year-old Broadway star Patti LuPone who is seemingly calling for violence and destruction all due to her advanced case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
In an interview with the New Yorker, writer Michael Schulman said LuPone remarked to her several times that the Trumpified Kennedy Center 'should get blown up.'
She also said the Trump Administration should 'leave New York alone.'
Well tough luck, Patti!
Patti is just another example of a celebrity who hates Donald Trump so much, she's willing to call for the total destruction of the iconic Kennedy Center just because Trump revamped the board and was then named the chairman.
The message is, if the Left doesn't like or agree with it, blow it up!
Conservatives are supposed to stomach the Liberal control of everything, especially entertainment, but Liberals themselves can't handle one performance art center being led by a republican!
How entitled. How unhinged. How totally textbook Leftist!

An astonishing new approach to ‘Frankenstein'
The 'Frankenstein' that roared to life in D.C. this past weekend marks a triumphant U.S. directorial debut for London-based theater savant Emily Burns, who'd already earned a measure of local attention for adapting the script for the 'Macbeth' that brought Ralph Fiennes to Shakespeare Theatre Company last spring. As in that intriguing but uneven exercise, Burns has chucked a night-dark classic and a brisk contemporary vibe into her authorial Cuisinart. But this time, with the writer-director not just remixing the story but shepherding the whole shebang, the resulting world premiere is a blistering success — unabashedly intelligent, sumptuously visualized, taut as an assassin's garrote. It's jump-scary psychodrama with a literary pedigree, served up in sleek prestige-TV style. If there's any theatrical justice it'll end up making piles of money on Broadway and the West End. We're still in Geneva circa 1790, still in Mary Shelley's shadow-shrouded tale of an Enlightenment-inspired wannabe scientist. The moral and ethical probings still circle around what exactly Victor Frankenstein (Nick Westrate) has been up to of late. But there's also the intimately personal question, more urgent now than ever, of what the fallout will be for Elizabeth (Rebecca S'manga Frank), Victor's adopted sister and eventual wife. You might reasonably guess that in a rewrite grounded in what the script says is 'psychologically now,' she'll end up being far more than a tragic second-banana figure. What you might not expect is how far and how firmly Burns will manage to shift focus to Elizabeth without entirely dismissing Victor as 'the real monster,' that tired old oversimplification. Or how much genuinely suffocating suspense she'll wring from the hows and the whys and the what-could-you-possibly-be-thinkings. We'll have none of the novel's epistolary, travelogue-y throat-clearings to kick off this brutally efficient retelling; no Arctic vistas, no random ice floe encounters. Burns launches things in smothering gloom instead, with moody surtitles and a moodier voice-over. (Tired devices, you might sneer, right up until they pay off in a hair-raising collision of remembered horror, real-time revelation and rapacious need.) Those opening atmospherics give way, suddenly and startlingly, to a titanic thunderclap and a strobed glimpse of what looks for an instant like your standard mad-scientist lab setup. (The design elements, courtesy of scenarist Andrew Boyce, costumer Kaye Voyce, lighting guru Neil Austin, sound artist André Pluess and projectionist Elizabeth Barrett, prove uniformly superb and enviably unified.) A quick tonal shift, more light, and we're in the soaring moonlit kitchen of the Frankenstein family's stately home, well past midnight on the stormy eve of the young couple's long-planned wedding. Then Burns's lean story edit derails not just the planned nuptials but everyone's entire lives: Victor's 10-year-old brother, William, reported missing in the opening exchanges, is confirmed dead. Which is when things get all 21st-century head-shrinky: Justine (Anna Takayo), the devoted family retainer framed for the murder in Shelley's version, implicates her own self in this telling, confessing to the crime out of a morbid conviction that her impatience with William's preadolescent rowdiness had driven him out of the house and into the real killer's path. And Justine's piercing need to atone for what she sees as unforgivably bad (surrogate) parenting is merely the first suggestion of the soul-searchings to come over at the Frankenstein place. Victor and Elizabeth and eventually their righteous wet nurse (Takayo again, chameleoning nicely) will dig into memories of childhood alienation, tales of shifting parental affections and confrontations around what being a decent mother even means. Or, crucially, a halfway-decent father. It's all grounded impeccably, both in key themes from the original text and in stark traumas Shelley navigated in real life: Her mother's death was a direct result of her birth, while her own son, not coincidentally named William, was ailing around the time of the novel's conception and dead by the age of 3. The author lost three other children in their infancy, too. No shortage of resonance in all that for this adaptation's explorations of what courage it takes to contemplate the making of a child, how hugely the process of creating life can go awry, how quickly the simplicities of youth can curdle into the monstrosities of adult humanity. Frank's hypnotically sure performance as Elizabeth is the staging's bright lodestar. Her voice is caramel and cloves, expressive even in Burns's lighter modern phrasings, downright beguiling in more lyrical passages taken whole from Shelley's period text. Her body language speaks more resonantly yet: Stillness can equal immense authority onstage, and this actor's economy of movement generates black hole gravity, making larger gestures all the more seismic when they erupt. Takayo's is a nervier and more restless presence, as is Westrate's — aptly enough given the essential fecklessness of this adaptation's still-charming Victor. He's twitchy and shifty and impossible to repose any real faith in, this thoroughly modern man-child, which is one potent way Burns sustains the evening's exquisite narrative tension. Grounding a character's evasions and fictions in a physical vocabulary that screams 'I cannot be trusted' is a sly tactic for making an audience second-guess what it already knows to be a horrifying truth. That truth, of course, involves what constitutes monstrosity, and in whose eyes. Burns's last great coup is the climactic reveal that finally settles the question of whether this tale of a grotesque and murderous villain bears any resemblance to fact. It's not quite a spoiler to acknowledge that a Creature does make an appearance — actor Lucas Iverson gets a playbill credit, after all — but the specifics of that answer and the delicacy in how Burns and company navigate the moment elicited audible gasps at Sunday's matinee. Like nearly every rich and gorgeous element of this 'Frankenstein,' it's flat-out astonishing. Frankenstein, through June 29 at the Klein Theatre. About 2 hours 20 minutes, including an intermission.

A Better Way to Make New York Affordable
Look alert, New Yorkers: Congress has a chance to cut the cost of living, and it's not the SALT deduction. Rep. Nick Langworthy (R., N.Y.) has introduced a bill in the House that would reduce the cost of federally funded construction projects in the state. New York's Labor Law 240, known as the Scaffold Law, imposes absolute liability on property owners and contractors for construction workers' gravity-related injuries from falling or being hit by a falling object. Enacted in 1885, the absolute liability standard applies even when the worker is at fault.

Paxton, Trump and the Vast Coal Conspiracy
President Trump says he wants to reinvigorate 'America's beautiful clean coal industry.' So it's passing strange that his Administration is backing a misconceived lawsuit by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton that would force asset managers to sell their shares in U.S. coal producers. The Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department last month filed a 'statement of interest' in a lawsuit by Mr. Paxton and 10 other GOP AGs that charges Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street with violating antitrust laws. The legal filing endorses the lawsuit's bizarre theories while reserving judgment on the facts.
