On Friday, I did something I hadn’t done since before COVID-19, I went and saw a movie premiere on the day it opened in an actual movie theater. With my childhood friend Susan, whom I’ve known for more than five decades—a dyed-in-the-wool conservative just like me—we went and saw Reagan. And unlike most critics on Rotten Tomatoes who rated it at 18% and elsewhere, we loved it along with a virtually unprecedented 98% of Rotten Tomato viewers.Right up front, I can say that Reagan is not without flaws. The cinematography in much of the movie is quite dark, especially in...

Scorsese, who directed the controversial 1988 film The Last Temptation of Christ and is currently working on a movie of the life of Jesus, has said that when he thinks of Pope Francis, he thinks of “compassion.” n Wednesday’s meeting, the 81-year-old director presented Pope Francis with a book chronicling the making of his Oscar-nominated film Killers of the Flower Moon. Papal confidant Father Antonio Spadaro, a harsh critic of American Christians, gushed effusively over the meeting, insisting that it formed...

Radical climate group Extinction Rebellion, NYC, took credit for the protest on social media, and shared videos of the disruptions. Halfway through the second act of the performance, several protesters stood up and demanded an end to fossil fuels.

Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is once again pressuring the Republican National Committee to change their debate format after audience declines across the previous three showdowns. “This January GOP debate should be held on X, not on cable TV, moderated by Tucker [Carlson], who might just ask questions that primary voters actually care about,” Ramaswamy said in a statement to The Post on Friday. “They say they want to reach younger voters and new audiences? Well that’s how you do it,” the 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur added. The first Republican primary debate, hosted by Fox News Channel and held on Aug. 23...

Democratic strategist James Carville said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the Fox News audience was “a giant monster that you have to feed every night” while discussing Arizona man Ray Epps suing the network. Carville said, “If you remember right after January 6th, they needed an alternative story, and said it was really Antifa. But there’s no such thing at Antifa, so you can’t defame it. There is no organization, there’s no Antifa headquarters, there’s no Antifa board. So if they would have just stuck with Antifa, they would have probably been okay. But then they single Mr. Epps...

Former White House press secretary and MSNBC host Jen Psaki said Monday on CBS’s “The Late Show” that Fox News host Tucker Carlson treats his audience “like they are stupid.” Colbert said, “Let’s talk about the people who clearly had a cozy relationship with power, and that’s Fox News.” Psaki said, “I heard there are some developments.” Colbert said, “We are learning more about what is going on behind the scenes there. It’s not surprising, but it is unsettling to hear about.” Psaki said, “It’s a little bit more than unsettling, wouldn’t you say? I’ve watched you — I know...

When Jon Stewart left the Daily Show in 2015, he averaged 1.3 million viewers per night. After seven years of humiliating failure, Stewart’s hand-picked replacement, some guy named Trevor Noah, is slinking off with an average viewership as of last week of 363,000 viewers. During his failed reign, I made something of a cottage industry ridiculing Stewart’s pathetic ratings. The corporate media bent over backward to juice the far-left and smugly dishonest Stewart into a national phenomenon when the truth was that less than one percent of Americans tuned in. Jon Stewart was a “phenomenon” in CNN’s eyes only, a...

President Biden is set to participate in a CNN town hall in Baltimore this week where he will face questions from an “invitation-only audience” — as his administration juggles uniting the Democratic Party, a worsening border crisis and supply-chain bottlenecks creating empty shelves and threatening the on-time arrival of holiday gifts. On Monday, CNN announced the 90-minute town hall, which will be moderated by Anderson Cooper and air at 8 p.m. ET Thursday on the network. The president, who has recently been traveling across the country touting his “Build Back Better” agenda, could face questions regarding a number of crises...

No Whoopi. No Meghan. Still a whole lotta drama. With Whoopi Goldberg and Meghan McCain off for Friday’s installment of “The View,” Joy Behar assumed the role of gabfest ringleader. The episode began innocuously enough with the gals cheerfully yakking about their Halloween costumes from the previous day. And then the mood quickly turned doom-and-gloom. Less than five minutes into the show, Behar dropped a bombshell. Scheduled to appear on the Nov. 7 episode — the 5,000th of the series, no less — will be none other than Donald Trump Jr. and his current squeeze, former Fox News pundit Kimberly...

SOUTHINGTON, CT — In alphabetical order, a majority of Democratic and one unaffiliated candidates for governor endorsed the idea of installing electronic tolls on Connecticut’s highways and received applause for it. The nine candidates participated in a forum Friday sponsored by the Connecticut Construction Industries Association. The same group sponsored a similar forum in December for the Republican gubernatorial candidates as well. None of the candidates who are still in the “exploratory†phase of their campaigns for governor were invited to either forum — only the declared candidates. The problem: Connecticut’s special transportation fund will start running a deficit in...

Dwayne Johnson just might be one of the most popular celebrities in America, and it isn’t just because of his acting. In a recent GQ story titled, “Dwayne Johnson for Presidentâ€, writer Caity Weaver showed the side of Johnson that has earned him the widely-accepted title of “Nicest Guy in America.†Johnson has learned something that most of Hollywood would do well to copy: the value of listening before talking in politics. Unlike perennial left-leaning superstar singers Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, he isn’t standing on stage, leading rallies for politicians. He also isn’t channeling vulgar overtures to convince Americans to...

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has had a bad week in the media, but potentially a good week for the future. The transition from a free-flowing primary campaign to a more structured, bigger general election campaign is underway. The transition is a bit more turbulent than might be comfortable for those along for the ride. After announcing Cory Lewandowski's departure on Monday, the Trump campaign released a list of new hires on Tuesday, with promises of more to come. But in the end, campaigns are not about staffs, spouses or (adult) children, they are a reflection of the candidate....
