Queen Latifah’s new CBS show, The Equalizer , premiered an episode this week that portrayed a bomb-making “alt-right” terrorist group whose symbol was a teapot, which seems to be a not-so-thinly-veiled reference to the Tea Party movement of the 2010s.
In the episode, “True Believer,” on May 16, former CIA operative turned lone wolf detective Robyn McCall (Queen Latifah) set out to help a housewife whose husband appeared to have gone down an online rabbit hole of far-right radicals ( a common leftist boogeyman trope ).

They keep creating them for their episodes. I could give writers the names of some real-life groups terrorizing the U.S. who killed dozens and caused billions of dollars in damages last year and they were not right-wing.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
