What makes a leftist? A revulsion to the truth, mixed with disregard for accountability. Actor Alex Baldwin has just demonstrated he has the “right stuff” to be a leftist, exhibiting little concern about accountability. Providing details of a single vehicle accident he suffered, crashing into a tree, Baldwin—as is often his wont to do—seeks to place the blame on a non-responsible party. Fortunately, a video camera captured something Baldwin despises—the truth. Baldwin was smart enough not to blame the tree. So, he sought out an innocent person to blame. But, he was obviously unaware the accident had been recorded on...

Newsmax has obtained exclusive dashcam footage that appears to contradict Alec Baldwin's account of how he and his brother Stephen Baldwin were involved in a car crash Monday afternoon. The 1-minute, 29-second front-facing video, taken from the commercial truck Alec Baldwin claims cut him off, shows the truck making a legal right turn onto Montauk Highway in East Hampton, New York, before Alec Baldwin's white Range Rover comes into view — and moments later, slams into a tree along the roadside. The footage begins with the truck exiting a parking lot and making a routine right turn. Roughly 30 seconds...

Alec Baldwin blamed a hulking garbage truck that was the “size of a whale” for causing him to smash his wife’s Range Rover into a “big, fat tree” in the Hamptons Monday afternoon. Baldwin, 67, and his younger brother Stephen Baldwin were in a car crash after smacking right into a tree on the side of Montauk Highway in East Hampton. The brothers, who were born and raised an hour outside the suburban Long Island paradise, were enjoying a cruise in Hilaria Baldwin’s white Range Rover when they careened off course. The elder Baldwin, though, blamed the fiasco on a...

Alec Baldwin believes that Americans have a misunderstanding of the world's most pressing problems. The reason for this, he explained at a recent event, is that they're uneducated and led astray by the mass media. The 66-year-old "Rust" actor, this year's recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Torino Film Festival in northern Italy, commented on the media's influence in reporting news. Alec Baldwin in a black suit speaks into a microphone during a press conference at the Torino Film Festival Alec Baldwin believes Americans are not only "uninformed" about what's going on in their own country, but also...

Hollywood star Alec Baldwin called Americans “very uninformed” about the realities of climate change, the war in Ukraine, and other globalist issues, saying their lack of knowledge is deliberate and willful. “Americans have an appetite for a little bit of information,” he said. In a press conference this week at the Torino Film Festival in Italy, Alec Baldwin also blamed the American TV news industry, arguing news outlets operate as businesses — seemingly implying they don’t necessarily have the best interests of their viewers in mind.

"You know what's going on from the news, but information in America is driven by money. It's a business," Alec Baldwin begins at the Turin Film Festival, where he is the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award. "That's why there's a void in information on the biggest issues in the world. Americans know little or nothing - on climate change, on Ukraine. That void is filled in part by the film industry, by documentaries and narrative films."

Alec Baldwin was sloppy and reckless with firearms on the set of “Rust” before the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, prosecutors have contended. According to court documents obtained by ETonline, the 66-year-old leading man engaged in “horseplay” during firearm training, including one instance when he fired a blank round at a crew member, whom he’d been using to establish his line of sight. Prosecutors further alleged Baldwin was also “erratic and aggressive” during filming, contributing to safety concerns on set. Baldwin would also allegedly use his prop firearm as a pointer, relying on it to acknowledge and direct different...

An activist is heard pressing the Hollywood actor, 'Who's pocket are you in?' Alec Baldwin was spotted in a heated confrontation with pro-Palestinian activists as protests flooded the streets of New York City on Monday. Livestreamed footage showed the actor being asked by a pro-Palestinian activist "Whose pocket are you in?" and pressing him on whether he condemns Israel while invoking Hollywood. "I'm in Hollywood's pocket, you say?" Baldwin responded before slamming the "stupid question." The "30 Rock" star was then seen shouting in the activist's face, "Ask me a smart question!" As he attempted to walk away escorted by...

Ja Morant has been suspended for 25 games to start the 2023-2024 NBA season, though there’s belief around the league the Grizzlies star dodged a much larger bullet after livestreaming himself with a gun for the second time. “I think the Grizzlies, those around the NBA, were bracing for the possibility it could have been even more,” ESPN’s NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski said Friday on “First Take.” “…But 25 games is significant certainly to start the season. At least for Memphis now they know they can start their off-season planning with the understanding of how long they will be without...

Alec Baldwin has been allowed to skip the preliminary hearing in the “Rust” shooting case, a judge has ruled. Baldwin was due to appear in court for the two-week preliminary hearing, set to kick off on May 3. The hearing will determine whether there is enough evidence for the case to proceed to trial following the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western flick, “Rust.” Hutchins, 42, was fatally shot on the movie set outside Sante Fe, N.M., on Oct. 21, 2021, after Baldwin’s prop gun discharged a live round and struck her in the chest....

“Rust,” the Western film that halted production after the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on set in October 2021, will resume filming this spring at the Yellowstone Film Ranch in Livingston, said co-executive producer Carter Boehm on Wednesday.

Alec Baldwin will remain as the star of the movie “Rust” as it restarts production, the movie’s lawyer has confirmed. The 64-year-old actor will be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 death of Halyna Hutchins, despite previously insisting he did not pull the trigger. Hutchins’ widower Matt, who shared his 10-year-old son Andros with the late cinematographer, will stay on as the film’s executive producer — a role he took on as part of the wrongful death lawsuit that was settled for an undisclosed amount in October. “Rust” will also see its director Joel Souza return, despite being injured...

Officials in New Mexico are set to deliver a decision on Thursday about whether or not they will pursue criminal charges against Alec Baldwin or others in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of Western movie Rust.

Never forget: Meghan Markle is the second coming of Nelson Mandela. Albeit in a custom-made Louis Vuitton gown (one that pettily mimicked Kate Middleton's Earthshot look), a $90,000 aquamarine ring, and a stubborn cluster of grievances and flimsy claims of racism that she will never, ever tire of recounting. Last night's RFK Human Rights ceremony had it all: A outspoken liberal host who accidentally shot and killed his co-worker, a young wife and mother, and has since claimed zero guilt; our host's wife, a talent-free, stage-five clinger and fame-adjacent fraud who still claims to be Spanish, despite being outed as...

Actor Alec Baldwin has filed a lawsuit in California against several individuals associated with the "Rust" film, CNN reported. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot by the actor last October during a rehearsal for a scene for the movie, which was being filmed near Santa Fe, New Mexico.
