Well Ten Years after the MSNBC crowed stated on live TV that it would be bad news for the Clintons if Donald Trump brought up Jeffrey Epstein during election 2016 (the video for those who have forgotten)
the Epstein files (at least those not being blocked by three Democrat Judges) will now all be out there.
And while we’ve seen Larry Summers “retire from public life” & Congresswomen Stacy Plasket somehow dodge a censure vote with every democrat in the house voting that exchanging texts with Jeffrey Epstein while questioning a witness during a hearing is no big deal. We’re not going to be seeing anything that implicates Donald Trump for the simple reason that if there WAS anything like that in these files the Biden administration and the Democrats would have put it out there during the four years that no Democrat had any interest in them.
But we HAVE seen a few signs of what is to come: like this
The panicked Democrat talking point has been released …
– "Trump and Pam Bondi have altered the Epstein files."
😂 They know this is going to be devastating to Democrats.
And now that the various connections to Democrats will be out there we’ll see a lot less of this:
ICYMI: My latest @NewsBusters study looked at *every mention* of Epstein on ABC, CBS, and NBC across their morning, evening, and Sunday political talk shows.
The result? 821 minutes from July 7 thru this morning, which is nearly 14 HOURS of coverage. https://t.co/eACPho8Gv5
Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy literally said recently, 'Clearly, Donald Trump was at the center of a child sex ring. That is heartbreaking that the President of the United States was involved in that kind of gross, craven immorality.' That is a positively surrealistic read on what…
Echols said she had “been wanting to be child-free for a very long time” and is planning to get a bilateral salpingectomy with an endometrial ablation—when the lining of the uterus is destroyed. Her doctor approved the procedures earlier this month.
“The next four years will go in the way of the Christian nationalists if what I have seen and heard and experienced is to be believed,” she said. “Anyone who has…taken a look at the social tirade Donald Trump encouraged and employed during his years in the office knows that this is the time to prepare and be prudent for what could yet come.”
“I’d rather be safe than sorry,” she added.
Frankly I think surgery over an election not going your way is much crazier than shouting at a lake but at least these people sterilizing themselves are adults who are of age.
Stacy McCain still being banned from Twitter reminds me of Molly Norris still in hiding for her life. Both outraged me at the time and I’m still pissed off by the pair.
Seriously? If it wasn't for england the slave trade would still exist. They practically bankrupted themselves to stop ithttps://t.co/Vx4hzXqXVF
The only reason why the slave trade died was the British government put their navy on stopping it and actually paid cash to captains per slave freed. African nations at the time hated that. Rather than needing a civil war they paid compensation to slaveowners to make things work and those loans they took to do so were only recently retired.
I’m old enough when people actually knew history.
yup that's why the Wash Post and LA times didn't endorse, because Kamala is doing so well she didn't need them.
boy it's a long time since the black book of communism isn't it?
I always find it sad with I see Anne Applebaum drinking the koolaid. Her Black book of Communism was an important work and recorded things that history might have lost from the Soviet archives and a service to humanity.
But that’s not a guarantee against Trump derangement syndrome.
This picture give me hope that some people can figure out when something is beyond the pale.
Although in fairness I almost feel sorry for this young girl who has OD's on the cool aid and did something REALLY stupid.
You actually have to watch the video this is clipped from for full context but the good news is the black woman recognized that the white girl has gone over the line and scolds her for it. Given they’re Kamala fans that’s signifies hope. The bad news is that the girl who is apparently an organizer for Kamala is now going to have to carry this stupid act for as long as there is an internet which is forever.
It’s really a bad thing when your politics becomes your religion because fanatics are dangerous.
Also a lot of people seeing this remember being young and stupid and thank God that cell phone camera and the internet weren’t around when they were young.
I’m going to include two tweets in this last section first from the Lincoln Project
If Trump was the Nazi you claim you would actually be broadcasting his speech from the guardian and then saying: "See we told you"
I don’t get all that upset about these guys. You know left PACS are paying their bills and they aren’t going to make a dime from GOP candidates anymore so they’re just earning the bucks for being the paid actors that they are. This is the script or at least the outline and they’re just saying lines.
There are two types of people who don’t see the writing on the wall. The people who have made politics their religion like the niche market who still watch CNN that Jake Tapper was pandering to here:
In fairness to Mr. Tapper when your team is down by two touchdowns in the 4th you have to throw the Hail Mary
and the people who are paid to pretend not to see it. They will be talking about a Democrat wave sweeping the country right until the day that High Brazil sinks under the waves and beyond if the cash keeps coming.
With the nomination of Sen. J.D. Vance as Donald Trump’s running mate, of course there is renewed interest in his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, and the Ron Howard movie based on it.
I’ve yet to read book, but I saw the movie in 2020 on Netflix, which distributed the film, and I thought it was a captivating look at Vance’s life.
Both the book and the movie draw on Vance’s upbringing in the southwestern Ohio post-industrial city of Middletown. His maternal grandparents were from Jackson, Kentucky–in the Appalachian portion of the state, which is where Hillbilly Elegy begins. The young Vance (Owen Asztalos) gets a quick lesson in the importance of family loyalty after losing a fight. The Vances, unfortunately, are quite the dysfunctional family, particularly his drug-addicted mother, Beverly (Amy Adams). Eventually, Vance ends up in the care of his grandmother, Bonnie “Mawmaw” Vance (Glenn Close), a chain-smoking, cussing, mean, but ultimately loving authority figure.
The movie contains many flashbacks as the adult J.D. (Gabriel Basso), a US Marine veteran who is a Yale law student, finds his promising future tangled up with his troubled past. His girlfriend, Usha (Freida Pinto), provides him much needed emotional support.
As I said earlier, this is a captivating film, and Howard, a gifted director, makes skilled used of imagery, including perhaps his favorite, water, and a stunning symbolic use of the Middletown rail bridge tunnel.
However, by 2020, Vance was vocal about his conservative beliefs, and he had moved from the Never Trump camp of the Republican Party to being a supporter of the 45th president. Which, in my opinion, led to movie critics, a group which politically consists mostly of leftists, to offer a large dose of negative reviews of Hillbilly Elegy. The Chicago Sun-Times’ Richard Roeper was a notable exception, he gave the movie a four-stars-out-of-four review.
An even worse response came from the 2021 Golden Raspberry Awards, better known as the Razzies. The bad movie answer to the Academy Awards nominated Hillbilly Elegy for three Razzies: Worst Director (Howard), Worst Adapted Screenplay (Vanessa Taylor), and Worst Supporting Actress (Close). However, Close, was also nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for the same role, and Hillbilly Elegy also garnered a Best Makeup and Hairstyling Oscar nomination.
Was this hatred was triggered by Vance’s politics?
I am certain of that, because also that year, Razzie “winners” included the documentary Absolute Proof, which questioned the results of the 2020 presidential election. Mike Lindell of My Pillow fame “won” Worst Actor for his role in that movie, and Rudy Giuliani “won” for Worst Supporting Actor for his brief role in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.
Voters for the Razzies are not required to see the movies they vote on. Other “winners” of Razzies, not surprisingly, include other conservatives, among them are Ronald Reagan, Dinesh D’Souza, and Jon Voigt.
I apologize for that brief diversion, but the Golden Raspberry Awards needs a serious and prolonged slapping around.
To summarize, don’t believe the critics. Unless you are an unhinged leftist suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, Hillbilly Elegy is well worth your time.
The lessons from Hillbilly Elegy are conservative ones. Family bonds, hard work, and perseverance, while not a guarantee of success, make success more likely.
I suspect that left-wing critics will have one more group lash-out at Hillbilly Elegy.
And from the only presidential term of Joe Biden comes another lesson: Don’t believe the media. Even movie reviewers can’t be trusted.
Hillbilly Elegy is available for streaming on Netflix, where as of this writing is ranked #4 in the movie category. It is rated R for violence, drug use, and foul language.
