    On Tuesday’s edition of “Fox and Friends” the News crew showcased actress Emily Blunts comments on her new American citizenship that have gone viral. “I became an American citizen recently, and that night, we watched the Republican debate, and I thought, ‘This was a terrible mistake. What have I done?’” she recently told the Hollywood Reporter. Needless to say this has virtually every Republican in our country pissed off. “You know what Emily Blunt just did? She just Dixie Chicked herself,” host Steve Doocy said. “She has alienated half the country that now will think twice about going to one...

    Using Bruce Jenner, Tom Brady, Brett Favre, frat boys, and a cameo from former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle, South Park took on America’s problems with political correctness Wednesday in the politically incorrect fashion fans have come to expect. “Stunning and Brave” kicked off the show’s 19th season, and seeks to capture the mood of viewers feeling stifled by cultural sensitivity, while also poking fun at the National Football League and a number of other hot topics. The episode starts when counselor Mackey announces to students at South Park Elementary that Principal Victoria has been fired after a Bill Cosby rape...

    Jeffrey Lord is saying the Reagan-Bush divide, that goes back to the hatred between the families in the Reagan White House, is the subtext even now for Trump's attack on Jeb in the debate... Interesting. If Jeb's "experienced" military advisors were so great, how come they didn't mitigate what they had to have known Obama was going to do? Phony crap. We don't need ClintonBushClintonBush warmovers in office again.

    Former Star Trek actress Jennifer Lien has been arrested in Tennessee for indecent exposure. Lien is accused of showing her breasts and buttocks to a group of children. Police say Lien was naked when they showed up at her home to arrest her. Lien, who is originally from Palos Heights, was part of the first three seasons of "Star Trek: Voyager." She was "Kes", the alien who joins the ship, and ends up working with the doctor. She left acting some time ago. This is her second arrest this year in Tennessee. She was charged in April with assault and...

    (CNN)—An actress best known for "Star Trek: Voyager" was arrested on September 3. Jennifer Lien, who played Kes in the first few seasons of the "Star Trek" spinoff series, has been charged with indecent exposure. According to CNN affiliate WATE, Lien was arrested in her home in Harriman, Tennessee. Neighbor Carey Smith told WATE that Lien came by her home to comment on how Smith's children were being raised and started using vulgar language. "All of a sudden, here come the shirt up," said Smith. "She started flashing and, 'Woo hoo,' and I said, 'And what respect is that for...
  • “Fortress” – a startling leap

    We recently subscribed to Netflix and Amazon Prime, gaining access to hundreds or even thousands of movies and shows. I was surfing last night and cam across a small movie called “Fortress.” It is the familiar story of the World War B-17 bomber crew of mostly kids who fly harrowing missions over Italy in 1943. The acting is surprisingly good but the plot is old hat. What is remarkable is that the only things that were actually filmed are things that could fit onto a sound stage – the actors, a B-17 fuselage, and small props. Everything else is generated...

    A Florida man dressed as the Red Power Ranger was arrested near a Tampa public pool following reports that he pointed a gun at someone and made a threatening statement, authorities said. Officers responded to a 911 call at the Bobby Hicks Pool Thursday afternoon and found 24-year-old Justin Duarte of Tampa in his mighty morphin' outfit, preparing to drive away, police said. Officers reported finding two realistic looking fake handguns after searching Duarte. They bore no resemblance to the blade blasters, thunder slingers or other fanciful side arms that typically appeared on 1990s television series "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers"...

    Hillary Rodham Clinton has been busy rounding up Democratic endorsements, but her chief rival, Senator Bernie Sanders, can now boast a powerful supporter of his own: James Bond. Well, not the British sleuth himself, but Daniel Craig, the actor who plays him. Mr. Craig recently made a $47,300 donation to a “super PAC” that supports Mr. Sanders, according to the Center for Public Integrity.
