  • Civil War - It Looks like A Truly Great Movie To Me

    Over the course of my lifetime these are some of the film makers I have revered: Charlie Chaplin (more for his silent features than his talkies) and Shirley Temple, (both as a child and adult for the former and as a child only for the latter), Woody Allen (when i was a tertiary student in the 1970's and 1980's but less so now) Steve Bochco, primarily for the reinvention of what television can do through Hill Street Blues and Shawn Ryan and Micheal Ciklis for The Shield which I consider an even better drama than HSB and the best thing...

    I freely give this idea with no stings attached to anyone who can/will make this ad: "President Biden wants you to know" spoken over a picture of Biden. "This is a peaceful protest" spoken over video of BLM, Antifa, College riots. "This is an insurrection" spoken over video of J6 walking through opened doors held open by Capitol police. "Biden's Department of Justice wants you to know" spoken over a picture of well known DOJ official. "This is a peaceful protest" spoken over more video of BLM, Antifa, College riots, destruction, fires. "This is an insurrection" spoken over video of...

    Nope, it's not what you think. It wasn't pro-Hamas protesters—this time. We’ve seen anti-Israel protests at several graduations, and we’ve seen commencement ceremonies canceled altogether as some universities bent their knee to the demonstrators—but we haven’t seen this before.A graduation ceremony for nursing students at Howard University in Washington D.C. was canceled right in the middle of the keynote address Thursday as furious parents who were locked out due to capacity issues pounded on the doors and even smashed a window.It was a chaotic scene:1 hurt in chaos after Howard University nursing graduation ceremony reaches maximum capacity 📹: @Dream_Girl_MG https://t.co/BEL54p8OVJ...

    As American campuses boil over with hatred for Israel and for Jews in general, it’s helpful to know what we’re dealing with. Below are five brief lessons: 1. Michael Moore channels 19th century German racists to prove that protestors calling for the mass murder of Jews are not antisemitic. 2. Professor David Bernstein notes that, like today’s campus protestors, most antisemites of the past were quite fond of Jews—as long as said Jews were sufficiently contemptuous of other Jews. 3. Israeli grad student Iddo Gefen discovers disturbing antisemitism at Columbia and then veers toward futile left-of-center virtue-signaling. 4. Karol Markowicz...
  • VIDEO: The CNN Obvious TELL When Lying about NO Democrat Lawfare

    Rumble ^ | May 12, 2024 | DUmmie FUnnies
    VIDEOThere is a very very obvious "Tell" that CNN uses when trying to deny that the Democrats are using Lawfare against President Donald Trump. It is when their reporters say "We know" that it's not true that the Democrats are using that Lawfare. CNN reporter Alayna Treene just recited this CNN Tell while pretending that the Democrats are not conducting Lawfare against President Trump when he brought up the topic at his Wildwood NJ speech. Keep looking for CNN to continue invoking "WE KNOW!" whenever trying to deny the OBVIOUS about Democrat Lawfare against President Trump.

    Former President Donald Trump's unusual request to be given "liberty or death" after the latest gag order fine imposed on him by Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the trial in New York City, is being taken under consideration. "Strictly speaking, it would not appear that a judge could normally decide whether to grant a plea of 'give me liberty or give me death,'" Merchan observed. "However, this is not a normal prosecution. Unprecedented actions have been taken to overrule the statute of limitations that normally would've prevented this trial from taking place. Charges that were previously dismissed by...

    Columbia Law Professor Says Columbia University Violated Federal Laws, Fostered A "Hostile Environment" On Campus .. Professor Joshua Mitts (Columbia Law School) argues that Columbia university violated the civil rights of Jewish and Israeli students by fostering and tolerating a hostile educational environment on campus. Mitts writes: Since October 7, Jewish students at Columbia have been subject to appalling episodes of antisemitism both on campus and just outside the campus gates, which intensified with the establishment of the encampment. As documented in an open letter signed by hundreds of faculty and thousands of community members, these included chants like “Go...

    Gateway Pundit ^ | May 11, 2024 | Jim Hoft
    The California Supreme Court declared that law enforcement officers cannot detain individuals because they attempt to avoid police contact. This unanimous decision has stirred a significant response from police unions, who argue that it will hamper their ability to maintain public safety effectively. The court, in a 7-0 decision, stated that actions such as appearing to conceal oneself or acting nervously do not alone provide a sufficient basis for officers to detain individuals. This was elaborated in an opinion by Justice Carol Corrigan, emphasizing that while such behaviors could be considered within a broader context, they do not meet the...

    ’s DOJ/FBI is hunting down pro-life, conservative grandmas while ignoring Antifa and BLM militants and the radical Hamas supporters shutting down and terrorizing college campuses. Under Biden, the DOJ weaponized the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a 1994 law that prohibits interfering with anyone obtaining or providing “reproductive health services,” as a punishment for the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade in June 2022. After the Supreme Court ruling, Biden formed the DOJ-led Reproductive Rights Task Force to enforce the act. According to The Epoch Times, The FACE Act has now been used 130 times against...

    In an embarrassing blunder, Joe Biden, the oldest White House resident in U.S. history, called North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un the President of South Korea during a campaign reception in Portola Valley, California. The blunder occurred on Friday as Biden criticized former President Donald Trump, for his friendly and peaceful relations with world leaders. “We’ll never forget his love letters for the South Korean President Kim Jong Un or his admiration for Putin — what a great leader Putin is,” Biden said. Daily Mail reported:

    According to Politico, the grand jury that indicted Trump 2020 alternate electors, Trump attorneys and GOP activists were “unusually aggressive” and stacked with Trump-hating leftists. Politico spoke with a witness who received an immunity agreement. The witness told Politico that not only did grand jurors aggressively grill them for hours, they indicted two of Trump’s lawyers who weren’t even a target of the investigation! One grand juror was described as the leader of the “indict them all crowd ” – a rabid leftist who wanted all of Trump’s allies charged with crimes just because. Two of Trump’s lawyers, Jenna Ellis...

    As reported on Friday – DOJ hitman Jack Smith violated the same law as J6 defendants who were sent to prison for years! In August 2022, President Trump reported that he believed the FBI stole his will during the Biden-endorsed raid on Mar-a-Lago. The FBI also stole 1,800 other items that were not documents that belonged to President Trump. This was not lawful or necessary. It is also widely known at this point that Joe Biden who ordered the FBI access to Trump’s documents at Mar-a-Lago and President Trump’s personal belongings. On pages 2-3 of the ruling Judge Cannon revealed...

    In the curious world of politics, alliances can be as surprising as they are concerning. Take, for instance, the case of Robert Weinroth, currently vying for a seat in the United States Congress in Florida’s 23rd District. What makes Weinroth’s candidacy particularly eyebrow-raising is not just his abrupt switch from Democrat to Republican but also his troubling associations, including cozying up to individuals with ties to terrorism and bigotry against Jews. Weinroth’s political journey is rife with contradictions. A long-time Democrat, Weinroth is oddly running in the Republican Primary to replace one-term Democrat Jared Moskowitz, whom Weinroth enthusiastically endorsed in...

    This week in an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett, President Biden dismissed the 30% rise in food prices since he took office, saying "people can afford it. Thanks to Bidenomics, they have the money to spend. I've personally canceled billions of dollars in student debt. We're putting newly arrived immigrants up in hotels and feeding them. We're subsidizing electric vehicles so drivers don't have to pay high gas prices. Most of us have credit cards, savings, or EBTs. Many of our cities have effectively legalized shoplifting items of less than a thousand dollars. There's no crisis. The Republicans are gas-lighting...

    And folks wonder WHY there is a Civil war going on in the Republican Party? Well start right here. Come on over and take a peek into the minds of these people. First off, last election cycle we had a guy named Darren Bailey running for Governor. By far he was the only Republican in Illinois to show ANY Cojones! During the COVID mask debacle he told the Governor (PRITZKER) to SHOVE his mask and got escorted by the Illinois State Police off the General Assembly floor for no mask. Darren Bailey is a Farmer and a MAN who will...
