New in PJ Media:
The actress Selma Blair appeared in Cruel Intentions, Legally Blonde, The Sweetest Thing, and other movies, but on a fateful day in February 2024, she discovered what it was like to be a dissident in a totalitarian state. The totalitarian state in which she lived is known as Hollywood, and it turned its back on her and ended her career after she dared to depart from the party line on the overall wonderfulness of the left’s favorite religion, Islam. She has apologized profusely since then, but her career has not revived. Totalitarian states are not known to be forgiving.
The Hollywood Reporter stated Friday that “the veteran star said she lost her entire career and the team that supported it — talent agency CAA, a manager of 30 years, a lawyer and personal and book publicists — in the wake of leaving a comment widely criticized as anti-Islamic under a video posted by immigration reform advocate Abraham Hamra.”
No forgiveness was available: “Though she apologized, Blair noted it wasn’t enough and not only did she lose that team but also brand deals, payment for a supposed Super Bowl advertisement, her son’s godmother and more. So much that, she says, she came to learn ‘what erased feels like.’”
George Orwell ably encapsulated the left’s desire to obliterate its enemies, and give the impression that they never existed, in 1984. People who fell out of favor with the state were “nonpersons.” Old news items that mentioned “nonpersons” were sent down the “memory hole” and incinerated, and a new version of history concocted to take their place. And so in Hollywood, Selma Blair, having expressed views that dissented from leftist orthodoxy, no longer existed.
“The brands I worked with were gone within a day,” Blair recounted. “A few partnerships I’d spent years building were shelved. My agency was gone. My lawyer was gone. My publicist was gone. My book agent was gone. My book publicist was gone. My social media manager was gone. My son’s godmother was gone – my best friend. While some friends in the business quietly stood by me, most of them were gone. And of course, my manager, my supposed friend of 30 years, and a Jew, was gone too. I still don’t know what any of them were thinking. No one returned my calls.”
Blair became a nonperson because in February 2024, angry over the Israel-Hamas war and the support for Hamas among leftists and Muslim migrants, she wrote this on Instagram: “Deport all these terrorist supporting goons. Islam has destroyed Muslim countries and then they come here and destroyed minds. They know they are liars. Twisted justifications. May they meet their fate.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Be American and be yourself and f—k anybody who doesn’t like it! Be with like minded people- there’s enough good people in this world that one can survive without commie sympathizers and Islamists. Be sure to live with the Bill pf Rights because for Americans this becomes human rights and it is the standard by which democracies are evaluated. Remember the USA is a Constitutional Republic not just a democracy. The flag is the symbol of that Republic!

That’s easy to say for you. She probably had a mortgage , kids to pay college, bills up to the eyeball .
It’s just a message not to fk with Islam because the big dogs have their back if you’re tied to the big dogs. If you run a roofing company, then you can say things.
These people do not fk around when it comes to Palestine , Islam, Muhammad (America’s sacred one) who can’t be criticized like Jesus. You’d be destroyed…
They would criminally charge you if they could, but they can’t YET. Look at the UK. They will put you away much worse if they could , to protect Islam. They have to do it because of Muslim vote, who demand sharia law be enforced by others to cover their tracks.

her Crime? Stating the Truth. Democrats cannot accept that.
Andrew Knight says
Dreadful behaviour by the Hollywood mafia. They won’t like it when judgement falls on them. As it must.
Patrick says
Her fast and biggest mistake was to apologise.
Crown says
Yep, these are the same Hollywood leftists who have been whining for 70 years about the poor sainted blacklisted fellow-travelers who were blocked from jobs for a little while in the 1950s. If I have to hear yet again about the innocent Hollywood communists who suffered in the 1950s, I think I’ll have to puke.

Never apologize for speaking the Truth.
Didn’t Mr. James Woods get the same treatment? Those who are brave enough to speak Truth, should form a support group.

GEMINI WRITES MUCH BETTER THAT I DO:
Me: PLEASE PROVIDE A CRYPTIC PASSAGE WITH AN IRONIC TWIST THAT JOKINGLY MAKES NOTE OF HOLLYWOOD ENTERTAINER BLACKLISTED FOR CRITICIZING TERRORISM.
Gemini: The curtain rises on a stage where silence is the only approved script, and the ultimate act of treason was to name the monster in the dark.
They told us the spotlight was reserved for the brave, yet they banished the one who refused to romanticize the nightmare. In a town built on illusions, speaking truth to terror became the only unforgivable fiction, proving that in the kingdom of make-believe, it is far safer to tolerate the villain than to offend the audience.
James Lincoln says
Selma Blair should check out studios that hold conservative values.
The Daily Wire, Angel studios, and Bentkey are a few of them.
