I have a five year old grandson who seems to have very much enjoyed the movie "White Christmas" with Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby a couple of days ago. I would like to put together a list of age appropriate classic movies to recommend for a weekly afternoon movie with grandpa. Keep in mind he is only 5 and as yet not polluted with the "common" culture or exposed to a public school. He lives with a stay at home mom and a working dad and goes to a private school. He and his two younger sisters are much loved...

<p>When I heard that French actor and animal activist Brigitte Bardot had died at 91 on Sunday, my first thought was of blasting her song “Les Cheveux dans le vent” non-stop with my mom when I was a kid, and she was introducing me to the Gallic yé-yé pop and its various offshoots that had soundtracked her own childhood. My second thought, though, was somewhat less nostalgic and pleasant. I recalled Bardot’s late-in-life shift to supporting right-wing political candidates, her way of coldly dismissing actresses who came forward about their experiences of sexual harassment during the #MeToo movement, and how she was fined multiple times by the French government for “inciting racial hatred” with her blatantly bigoted comments about Muslims.</p>

President Donald Trump appeared to give nonchalant confirmation of the first US land strike in Venezuela during a radio interview last week that received little attention. The president said that the Christmas Eve strike was on a facility 'where the ship comes from' – seemingly referencing the origination location of the alleged drug vessels that the US military has been targeting in the Caribbean and Atlantic over the last three months. Speaking to radio host and billionaire John Catsimatidis on WABC, Trump made the bombshell suggestion that US forces have already started conducting land operations in Venezuela. 'I don't know...

Moonbats like Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan gush obsequiously over how Somalis enrich Minnesota. One example of how they have done this is by introducing the concept of child-free childcare centers. From the New York Post: A YouTuber found no children inside a Minnesota daycare that has received $4 million in state funding — and couldn’t even spell “learning” correctly on its own front door. The Somalis in charge cleverly saved on lettering by spelling it “learing.” The apparent revelation comes amid the exploding welfare scandal involving the state’s Somali community, which the feds have said could top $9 million. In...

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is offering a bit of cheeky dating advice. (snip) Harris shared advice for single people looking to meet a partner. “The important piece of this, though, for anyone who is single, who wants to be in a relationship, is to be kind to yourself and choose to be with someone who is kind,” she began. "That's really important. Choose to be with someone who allows you to laugh at yourself and them.” As she continued, she emphasized the importance of being with someone you can enjoy all of life's moments with. “Choose to be with...

Anti-Israel demonstrators staged an unlicensed rally at a busy shopping mall/office complex in downtown Toronto on Friday, Boxing Day, with some chanting “We demand an intifada” into megaphones. The incident at the Eaton Centre, which ended without any arrests and closely followed the Dec. 14 massacre of 15 people by two alleged Islamists at a Chanukah party in Australia, prompted calls for Canadian authorities to shut down calls for violence against Israelis and Jews. The flash-mob protest began at 4 p.m., at the end of a holiday light show, and security and police “asked the individuals to leave the premises,”...

I've seen ads regarding car/home insurance and how you should NOT get it through an agent but get it "direct". Does anyone have info or experience? I'm retiring soon.

A fringe white nationalist is generating millions of views of anti-Indian content. Research reveals 61% of his engagement comes from bot farms in Pakistan, Indonesia, and Russia. There is a particular moment in every demagogue’s career when rhetoric turns into a project. Not the early period of noisy adolescence, when insult functions merely as theatre, or even the intermediate stage when vitriol becomes an organising principle. No, the moment that matters is when hatred acquires a constituency, when contempt ceases to be performance and instead aspires to become politics. Nick Fuentes has arrived at that moment. For years, Fuentes existed...

Would someone provide me a link or just the graphic that showed the votes in various states in the 2020 election where biden's blue line suddenly goes straight up to pass Trump's arc? That was one of the first things showing fraudulent activity. However the various methods of fraud were worked they all depended on knowing how far ahead Trump was so they could dump sufficient numbers to overcome his lead. There wasn't an easy way to do this on the fly without looking really conspicuous but that didn't matter if they could take over and jail Trump and keep...

Watchdog group demands answers after ‘unbelievable security lapse’ by Trump’s Secret Service team The Secret Service continues to endanger the president’s life with lax security, and the government is sitting on information that might expose recent failures which allowed President Trump to get shouted down by Code Pink protesters during a recent outing to a Washington DC restaurant, advocates fear. “I’m just really concerned about the president’s safety,” Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch told The Post. “He was almost killed twice supposedly under the protection of the Secret Service and then they walked him into a potentially dangerous ambush,” he...

In 2025, artificial intelligence played a huge role in our offices, social media feeds, music and film, and now – dictionaries, says this linguist from the University of Limerick.For us linguists, the flurry of “word of the year” announcements from dictionaries and publishers is a holiday tradition as anticipated as mince pies. The words of the year aren’t just a fun peek into new slang and language changes, they also tell us quite a bit about the worries, trends and obsessions of the English-speaking world. And this year’s list has one clear theme. In 2025, artificial intelligence (AI) played a...

Rosie O’Donnell’s long-running feud with President Donald Trump flared up again after the Kennedy Center board voted to rename the iconic venue "The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts." In a TikTok video shared with her 2.9 million followers, the comedian and former talk show host delivered a blistering rant from Ireland, where she now lives, unveiling a new nickname for Trump. O’Donnell titled her video "Saturday Night Ramble," opening with reflections on her Christmas celebrations. The monologue quickly pivoted to the subject of Trump as she refused to even say his...

Droubay said her family's housing costs doubled, but their New York life is a dream come true. snip I have been pleasantly surprised by how kind 99% of people have been. I will get to the subway, and before I even fold up my stroller, strangers pick up the other end and carry it for me. Everyone stands up and offers seats to my kids, or older women have even grabbed one of my kids' hands and helped them on or off the subway for me.

Zohran Mamdani's pick to lead the Fire Department of New York City (FDNY) has never been a firefighter. Lillian Bonsignore, who has previously served as the EMS chief for the FDNY, will also be the first person to lead the department who is also openly gay. Bonsignore is a veteran EMS employee of the FDNY but has never served as a firefighter herself. Bonsignore said that she "knows the job" and "knows what the firefighters need" despite being primarily in the EMS role. She retired in 2022 and will be the second woman to serve as the FDNY commissioner under...

Multimillionaire Sami Sheen says it’s “impossible” to pay her bills on time because it’s simply “not fun.” The 21-year-old daughter of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards — who has been a highly successful OnlyFans creator since June 2022 — made a barrage of candid admissions to her TikTok followers Monday. “At what age do I have to start adulting?” she asked in a selfie-style video, confessing that she’s “so bad at being an adult” because she still views herself as a “16-year-old girl.”
