A hundred minutes into writer, director Alex Garland’s Civil War, I was hit with a wild case of déjà vu. Since the movie wasn’t engaging, I had plenty of head space to explore this feeling. What is this? Where is this déjà vu coming from? Maybe it has nothing to do with the movie. Maybe this is how everyone feels after eating a bag of licorice purchased at Big Lots? Then it hit me. This is the stupidest movie I’ve ever seen. I mean, Civil War is dumb—as in first-draft dumb. Garland directed exactly one good movie — Ex Machina...

It had to advance to the next step: actual destruction. In this case, an "activist" hacked and painted the portrait of Balfour, because, well, Balfour.We’ve seen destruction of monuments, as the remnants of the past are found wanting when examined in the pitiless light of modern enlightenment. Statues pulled down, throw in the river, plinths splashed with red. Their existence caused harm. They represented a psychic wound. They are gone now, and no one feels better about anything. The wound is pulled open daily, because healing was never the point. Payback was the point. But at least they left the...

The Venice Biennale is one of the world’s biggest art shows. The show has a national focus:Held since 1895 and considered the world’s top art event, the Venice Biennale, which starts in April, gives nations the chance to show off their best artists at national pavilions.That is the hook for pro-mass muder artists to try to boot Israel out:A petition to kick Israel out of the Venice Biennale art show because of the war in Gaza signed by more than 16,000 artists, curators and academics has been angrily dismissed as “shameful” by Italy’s arts minister.More to come from the culture...

Here's my latest song, an anti-leftist, anti-globalist, anti-tyranny rocker inspired by a blistering anti-globalist speech given by German MEP Christine Anderson at the EU Parliament last year.

Post See new posts Conversation Miranda Devine @mirandadevine BREAKING 🚨 Georges Bergès, Hunter Biden’s art gallerist has told @GOPoversight that he never had any communication with the White House about a so-called “ethics agreement” governing the sale of Hunter Biden’s art. It was a sham. “The Biden White House appears to have deceived the American people,” says Chairman James Comer. “Hunter Biden’s amateur art career is an ethics nightmare. The vast majority of Hunter Biden’s art has been purchased by Democrat donors, one of whom was appointed by President Biden to a prestigious commission after she purchased Hunter Biden’s art...

Angel Studios, the studio behind the surprise hit “Sound of Freedom,” has announced the completion of its latest project, "Homestead,” adapted from the post-apocalyptic book series Black Autumn, written by Jeff Kirkham and Jason Ross. "Homestead” narrates the story of two contrasting families in a collapsing civilization: a well-prepared, affluent family and a military veteran family hired for security. Set against a backdrop of escalating violence, the plot explores themes of divine intervention amid human conflict.

When Jeffrey Epstein’s New York City mansion was raided by authorities in 2019, investigators found boxes of hard drives and videos that were never entered into evidence by prosecutors. Images from the raid show boxes of burned CDs, hard drives, and videos that were all individually labeled by Epstein. However, authorities concealed the labels in all images, presumably to mask the identity of the people named in the labels. As Slay News has previously reported, multiple victims and witnesses have alleged that Epstein gloated about having compromising videos and images of powerful people that he held against them. This week,...

So, Warner Bros, in one of these sketchy incidents, that keep happening of late, “overestimated” the weekend numbers for “The Color Purple” by over $2 million. Warners had originally stated that ‘Color Purple’ made $13.8 million, but the actual number is said to be around $11.7 million

Weddings are often filled with unexpected moments that become cherished memories for both the couple and their guests. However, one couple had a truly unique and hilarious experience during their special day, thanks to a saucy bird. In a stunning photograph captured by Tara Lilly, a whisky jack landed on the bride's head just as the groom began to recite his vows. This comical moment not only brought joy and laughter to the wedding ceremony but also earned Lilly the prestigious title of 2023 International Wedding Photographer of the Year.

Sometimes you get a wake-up call and realize that the world is, in fact, beyond parody. This Babylon Bee article went viral on X after a user screenshotted the headline (with the Babylon Bee URL in plain view!!) and posted it as a response to Disney pulling ads from X. It's satire! It's a joke about Disney and grooming. But apparently, it's just a little too close to reality. They had to fact-check a Babylon Bee story because it's too believable that Disney is grooming kids on X!!! Man, what does that say about Disney? They've absolutely tanked their brand....

The latest ghoulish development following the slaughter of 1,400 Jews in the Oct. 7 Israeli attack on Israel is quite a shocker. The AP, CNN, Reuters, and The New York Times used footage and photos from reporters embedded with Hamas terrorists during their slaughter of hundreds of Jews. These Western media outlets then posted the photos in their coverage of this horrendous surprise attack on Israel.

Teddy Roosevelt, America's 26th president, was born on this day in 1858. (please note publication time of this post in Australia) "Red White And Blue" for me is an art form where I use those colours (from both the Australian and American flags) to create art which I hope expresses moral and other truth. What do Freepers think of this?

A fundamental strength of conservatism is not forgetting the past out of hubris believing that we can get all new answers to everything now. When Tucker Carlson (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4192571/posts) says: "You can say you care about America, but if you’re sending $100 billion to foreign countries right now, you’re lying" and “If something really dramatic in your country happens — like young people can’t, I don’t know, get married, you know, or buy houses or have any hope for a future that approaches, you know, the middle class upbringing they had — then you’ve got a huge problem and someone should...

There’s an incredible new viral sensation sweeping the internet, and it’s both powerful and thought-provoking, offering a compelling snapshot of Biden’s America in disarray. So, what’s this intriguing online phenomenon?Norman Rockwell paints modern America.It’s a disturbing yet profoundly provocative modern AI tribute to Norman Rockwell, reimagining today’s disgraceful USA in Rockwell’s iconic style. Whoever conceived this idea is truly ingenious. These images are striking because they place the everyday propaganda we’re exposed to within the context of normal life, revealing the extent of how far we’ve fallen.

I LOVE THE WORDS OF PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY: "Forcing women in or near land combat will hurt recruiting, not help." "A country isn't sovereign if we can't control who comes in and who's allowed to come in." “I think the main goal of the feminist movement was the status degradation of the full-time homemaker.” “There’s no real substitute for the care of the real mother.”

Without freedom of speech no problem can be addressed let alone solved. Freedom of speech underpins all other freedoms and comes to us from God. Logos. The Word. Rationality. Discourse. ONLY LOGOS LIVES.

American founding father Samuel Adams died on the 2nd of October 217 years ago. His thoughts still live: “The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule.” ........ "Donald Trump telling America "Dont let the virus dominate you." “How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!” ....... POTUS 46 “The love of power, like the love of money, increases with the possession of it; and...

She was born in New York City on Sept 24, 1941, and died in Tucson, Arizona, in 1998. Perhaps the greatest Beatle mum. She had childhood fantasies of living in a log cabin and spent much of her life living with their kids on farms with Paul. Linda lead her man from the world’s 1960’s obsession with Beatlemania into a rural life raising a family. As his wife and as the mother to their children, she gave him the healthy base where he created what many people now see as the first two great Indie albums, “Ram”, a homage to...
