[TWEETS AT LINK....................] It didn't take long after Biden finished his rancid, combative remarks in Philadelphia for the reviews of the latest divisive screed from "Mr. Unity" to come in, and they predictably were not favorable from those among the 70 million Americans he declared were hatefully working to bring about the end of democracy: Kayleigh McEnany @kayleighmcenany · Follow Mr. Unity just gave the most divisive presidential speech I have ever seen! 7:30 PM · Sep 1, 2022 [more tweets at link]...............

President Joe Biden (D) said the word “democracy” 31 times during a speech delivered Thursday evening in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Biden’s remarks touched on the “dangers” former President Donald Trump and his supporters posed to democracy, according to Breitbart News.

CLAIM: President Joe Biden said that Republican political leaders were not only predicting, but calling for “rioting in the streets.” VERDICT: FALSE. No Republican leader called for violence; Biden, again, apparently misquoted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

Joe Biden is going deliver a speech about “the soul of the nation” on Thursday night to a national audience. He is expected to target and declare war against his political enemies in the speech. Biden specifically is going to target those Americans who want to “Make America Great Again” and label them a domestic threat. The regime will not tolerate dissent. This looks to be a speech for the ages, right up their with Chavez, Castro, Stalin and Marx.

"On Thursday evening, President Joe Biden delivered his first primetime address to the nation in months, using the speech to attack the Republican Party with nearly two months until voters hit the ballot box nationwide in their states’ respective primaries." "Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic." "Biden said that his "duty" as president to "tell you the truth," stating that "MAGA republicans do not respect the Constitution, they do not believe in the rule of law, they do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept...

President Joe Biden was flanked by two Marines and bathed in red light against a brick wall as he delivered a prime time address in which he told Americans that those he called “MAGA Republicans” were a threat to the United States and to American democracy. Biden delivered the speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the birthplace of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. But the style of his address — carried on every news network — oddly recalled that of leaders in military juntas.

It's come to this: Kindergarten Cop, a banal 1990 comedy-action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a police detective who masquerades as a teacher, has been canceled and likened to the explicitly racist silent film Birth of a Nation. Kindergarten Cop was slated to kick off Portland's Northwest Film Center's Cinema Unbound Drive-in Theater on August 6 until critics led by local author Lois Leveen said the PG-13 movie promoted a "school-to-prison pipeline," according to the Willamette Week. In an email to Willamette Week, Leveen likened the Schwarzenegger vehicle to Birth of a Nation and Gone With the Wind: It's true...

Her many great films range from Broken Blossoms, The Scarlet Letter, and The Wind in the silent days to the 1955 masterpiece The Night of the Hunter. Her extensive work in the theater and television maintained her unrivaled standards of deep emotion, humor, intelligence, grace, and integrity. Gish’s acting is a beacon to show us our humanity, and she was outspoken in the causes of universal brotherhood and the preservation of our arts, especially film. So it was with mingled disbelief and outrage that I read that Lillian Gish is the latest victim of our curse of “political correctness” run amok. The trustees of Bowling Green...

Market doomsayer Marc "Dr. Doom" Faber has launched a racially charged diatribe in his latest newsletter, alleging that the U.S. is great primarily because it is ruled by white people. The eccentric Gloom, Boom & Doom report author, who often speaks on CNBC and other financial media, generally forecasting some type of market downturn, focused his latest comments on the racial conflicts happening around the country. (A CNBC spokesperson said it will not book him in the future.) "And thank God white people populated America, and not the blacks. Otherwise, the US would look like Zimbabwe, which it might look...

“Without an honest confrontation, there is no healing.” That’s from Birth Of A Nation director-producer-star Nate Parker today onstage at the Sundance Film Festival. In what I have to say was one of the most emotional experiences I’ve had at a movie theater, Parker world premiered what he called his seven-year “passion project.” His telling of the early 19th century slave revolt led by Nat Turner had audience members crying in their seats and jumping to their feet in a prolonged standing ovation at the film’s conclusion.

Is the movie 'Song of the South' racist...of course not!...Have a Zippy Doo Dah Day! Is censorship of Hollywood motion pictures a thing of the past, or… Is it still alive and well in the movie industry today against movies that are not politically correct? There are many who find some ‘R’ rated Hollywood movies of today equally offensive but I don’t think Hollywood is listening. Why would an old wonderful family motion picture offend anyone starring an African-American man whose stories fascinate both Black and White children? Some call Walt Disney’s 1946 family classic ‘Song of the South’ racist....

“The Birth of a Nation,” This appalling movie premiered in 1915. It was more than blatantly racist. It was written and produced with the intent of glorifying The Ku Klux Klan, trying to make them appear heroic. This revisionist propaganda became a recruiting film for The KKK. Its membership grew. This film may be the most racist film ever made in America. It was wrong to ever allow it to be shown. The animosity it caused and the harm it did… may never fully be known. Later, this slanted style of journalism also worked very well in Europe. Every clan,...

Ninety-five years ago this month—in February 1915—the D.W. Griffith movie later titled The Birth of a Nation premiered in a Los Angeles theater. Though considered progressive in its technique and style, the film had a decidedly backwards plot that glorified a short-lived, post-Civil War white supremacist group called the Ku Klux Klan....

It is my guess that most left-wing politicians and media people have become parents, or at the very least have friends or colleagues who have gone through the conception-gestation-childbirth experience. But you'd never know it from the way they've reacted to the multiple births that the Bush administration has been midwife to – in Afghanistan, Iraq, the Palestinian Authority, Saudi Arabia and, soon, Lebanon. Don't they remember the process of making a baby – the wondering if or when their actions would yield the desired result, the anxiety about what that result would be, the anticipation, the hope and, ultimately,...
