The fact that it takes a guy with a gun to smite them, and not a bolt of lighting, is proof to me that religion is bullshit.

MAGAs would say he died honorably in a battle of the wits with a Godless Liberal.

My unpopular opinion is that Up has an amazing 10/10 opening sequence, and is a 5 (at best) for the rest of the movie. Talking dogs, a weird cartoon bird, standard Disney kidschlock.

I always recommend the Hitchcock movies from his middle era. My favorites:

  • Lifeboat
  • Rebecca
  • Strangers on a Train
  • Dial M for Murder
  • Rope
  • Rear Window
  • The Man Who Knew Too Much
  • North By NorthWest
  • Vertigo
  • Psycho

Rear Window is my all-time favorite movie. It's a perfect film, where every shot and line means something. Grace Kelly's appearance is the most beautiful that any woman has ever been, in any film. The rest are all 10 out of 10s.

And look for Hitchcock's famous cameos in every movie, always close to the beginning, and usually amusing.

Not only did he excuse gun violence and the deaths of innocent people, he also disparaged the concept of empathy. Now that he is the victim of the gun system he endorsed, you expect us to offer him the empathy that he denied other, more worthy people?

People who don't offer respect or tolerance to others, shouldn't expect it in return. It's not a difficult concept to understand, nor is it immoral.

The Right has more to fear from the Right than the Left. The Left doesn't want to fight. They will if they have to, but they'd much rather avoid it at all costs.

The Right WANTS the fight. They are stoked, armed, and itching for it, and now some have become so obsessed with political purity that they have become idealogically twisted and are starting to "clean up" their own backyards first.

Ah, it's like that over there, too. Welcome to the party.

That's the spirit!

More and more, I'm seeing the Dems actually RESIST any effort to regain our nation from the treasonous MAGA Nazis. Who cares if Minneapolis or New York gets a Socialist mayor, at least they aren't literal Nazis, but the Dem leadership doesn't agree.

The Establishment Dems have made it very clear that they would prefer a MAGA in office than a Democratic Socialist. They now have one issue - Insider Trading. It's the only reason they stay in power; it certainly isn't because they believe in Democratic issues, they haven't advocated for those things since Obama, and even he was really weak.

It's all about corruption now, and the Dems are on board for it.

This is why I have been an Unaffiliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. Both parties are corrupt, and I don't want to be part of either club.

Except that everything he saying is actually happening, and it all tracks with Alexandra Dugin's Foundations of Geopolitics, which is the Russian playbook, Google it.

It may have sounded like a fantasy when this was recorded, but after all these years of seeing Russia make steady progress on brainwashing half of Erica and controlling the government right to the very top, it all sounds like a perfectly accurate prediction.

The guy even talked about it happening right in front of our faces, and we just let it happen. That's exactly how MAGA rose. They just let themselves be lied to, and they chose to ignore everything else and believe it. And here you are doing exactly what the guy predicted - ignoring the truth.

It's a perfect parallel. Brazil cleaned house of their traitor, America wimped out.

We are literally the weakest nation on Earth. We won't even protect ourselves from the most serious existential threat that our country has faced in over 150 years.
