We told you it was looking bad for Indy's new feminist romp... ...and boy oh boy were we right. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny did a belly flop from 10,000 feet this weekend as the Mouse House's LucasFilm killed the last piece of intellectual property that it hadn't yet destroyed. The movie only made $130 million total on opening weekend (a holiday weekend, no less!). That's $60 million domestically and $70 million internationally against a budget of more than $300 million (not including marketing). That is less than half of the $272 million that the subpar Kingdom of...

Temperatures would plunge in a bigger shift than the last Ice Age and crops would fail around the world after nuclear war erupted, a study has shown. The after-effects would be long-lasting with oceans taking hundreds of years to recover, and fishing devastated, the researchers warn. Professor Cheryl Harrison, of Louisiana State University, said: "It doesn't matter who is bombing whom. It can be India and Pakistan or NATO and Russia. Once the smoke is released into the upper atmosphere, it spreads globally and affects everyone." In all the simulated scenarios, nuclear firestorms would release soot and smoke into the...

Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) said he hopes the top official at the Democratic National Committee seeks help following a bizarre Wednesday morning rant in which the party official called the Arkansas senator a "little maggot-infested man."

During a Wednesday appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Democratic National Committee Chairman Jamie Harrison railed against Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) over his opposition to U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in part because she represented Guantanamo Bay detainees as a federal public defender. Harrison deemed Cotton “the lowest of the low” and called him a “little, maggot-infested man” who “doesn’t deserve to be in the United States Senate” because he suggested Jackson would have represented the Nazis in the Nuremberg trials. “In a Senate where there is Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton is the lowest of...

On Monday’s broadcast of “MSNBC Live,” DNC Chair Jaime Harrison argued that Democrats have to “call the lies out” on culture war issues and Republicans “understand that the only path to power for them is to make the American people scared, to come up with all of the dog whistles and the boogeymen and all of that.” Host Stephanie Ruhle asked, “Do you need to start addressing more of these culture war issues head-on? Until now, I often hear, this is misinformation, this is nonsense, which it absolutely is. However, this misinformation and nonsense is impacting how people vote. Do...

Lindsey Graham and Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison enters its closing days.

In a statement Thursday evening, Harrison said that he and the moderators for Friday's debate hosted by television station WSPA in Spartanburg had agreed to take a COVID-19 test before the debate, and he called on Graham to do the same.
