Some of the biggest donors on the left are huddling behind closed doors with liberal politicians including Nancy Pelosi to strategize about electing Democrats and confirming Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, but they’ll also discuss ways to use Hollywood to advance their causes.

The occasion is the annual spring investment conference of the Democracy Alliance liberal donor club, which officially kicks off Sunday at the tony Fairmont Hotel in Santa Monica, California.

The pathetic part is otherwise conservative states, for example LA and GA, subsidize this propaganda with generous use of tax payer money to subsidize production in their states.

Is this headline from the 50’s? ...and every decade since?

There are times when I really wish we had a few "protesters" on our side, an I'm not talking about polite, middle aged Tea Party folks.

I'm talking about really aggresive, obnoxious people, like the ones that broke up the Trump rally in Chicago. We don't have anything like the "Occupy" movement, BLM rioters, or Black Bloc anarchists to go around the country raising hell with the Democrats, infiltrating and disrupting their events.

If we did, maybe we'd have much more interesting stories about these kind of gatherings.

Hollywood survives off the money individuals plunk down at the ticket box office. If individuals stop plunking down money...will the donors make it up to the studios?

“Joe The Ticket Buyer” has shown a willingness in the past to not plunk down money because of a movie’s or actor’s politics.

Hollywood promoted smoking which killed a lot of folks... why not the Liberal cause (which I believe they all ready do)? The masses are so brainwashed since kindergarten they will suck on any thing that makes them “feel” good even if it kills them. Have you noticed they’ve taken away Yosemite Sam’s guns and now he “shoots” with his fingers? How far will Hollywood go? Well look at their record. They are still cramming Gore’s Global Flatulence (global warming) down the throats of Public School students.
I better quit now before I go into a rant.
