Presales for Angel Studios’ Sound of Freedom have skyrocketed to $10 million ahead of the film’s July 4th opening across 2,600 locations. According to Deadline, the studio is "spotting a 6-day $20M start which is extremely impressive for a non-major studio adult thriller," and over one million tickets have been bought for the based-on-a-true-story film following a former Homeland Security agent, played by Jim Caviezel, who rescues abducted children around the world.

CNN analyst Van Jones pointed criticism for the Supreme Court on Thursday over what he described as the high court’s ever-more out-of-touch decisions. Jones said the court’s decisions which prevent affirmative action, allow sexual orientation discrimination and shot down President Biden’s loan forgiveness plan create a crisis of legitimacy which could undermine the tenets of the entire country. “This is dangerous stuff, because when you have a legitimacy crisis for the court, you have a legitimacy crisis for the country,” he argued. “You can imagine a generation of younger Americans looking at the Supreme Court that is so out of...

Far-right firebrand Alex Jones prophesied on his Saturday night show that "they" were going to kill former President Donald Trump. As a former president, Trump enjoys a tight circle of Secret Service protection that includes his cars and home. Still, Jones thinks it will happen. “And then I think they’ll blow his airplane up," Jones said. "I really, at a gut level, believe they’re going to kill Trump. I mean, I believe the deep state establishment will murder him... he dies of a heart attack, or they poison him, or they blow his airplane up." It isn't the first time...

Tennessee house Democrat Justin Jones, who was just reinstated to the chamber after being expelled for leading a disruptive gun-control protest on the floor, assaulted a driver and faced serious charges for other misconduct committed while attending racial-justice protests in the summer of 2020. Footage of rioting outside the state Capitol in 2020 first shared by Scoop Nashville appears to show Jones repeatedly hitting the driver of a car with a traffic cone. The video, which was resurfaced by the Post Millenial, shows Jones and other activists stopping and surrounding the vehicle before the driver escaped. Jones was charged with...

Tennessee lawmakers on Thursday voted to expel at least one Democratic state representative over his participation in a gun control demonstration during which a trio of Democrats interrupted the floor session and used a bullhorn to lead supporters outside in chants. The chamber voted to oust state Rep. Justin Jones of Nashville, who disrupted the proceedings alongside Reps. Gloria Johnson and Justin Pearson of Knoxville and Memphis, respectively. Jones was expelled in a 72-25 vote. Lawmakers needed 66 to remove him, according to the Tennessean. Before his ouster, Jones warned that such a move would backfire on Republicans, "Your overreaction,...

Even conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is disgusted by Kanye West’s vile declarations of love for Nazis — admitting he was shocked by his “homoerotic” Adolf Hitler “fetish.” The Infowars host — recently ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion for calling the Sandy Hook school massacre a hoax — says he feels like he “was sucked into a giant publicity stunt” when the gimp mask-wearing rapper now known as Ye appeared on his show last week. “He said, ‘I looove Hitler’ — I think he had an orgasm over there,” Jones, 48, told YouTuber Steven Crowder of the fallen fashion mogul’s...

Alyssa Farah Griffin told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that the Holocaust “could happen again” if rapper Kanye West, white supremacist Nick Fuentes, and InfoWars host Alex Jones had platforms. Co-host Joy Behar said, “So yesterday Kanye West found a safe space for his antisemitism when he was interviewed by conspiracy theorist and all-around awful person Alex Jones. West showed up in some kind of bondage hood and proclaimed his love for Hitler and the Nazis.” Griffin said, “I watched clips of the live stream, and I hate that these people even have a platform. And I kept...

Infowars host Alex Jones filed for bankruptcy on Friday, after a series of defamation trials resulted in Jones owing nearly $1.5 billion to the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting, The Washington Post reported. Jones reportedly listed his assets at between $1 million and $10 million and his debts at between $1 billion and $10 billion, according to the Post. A Connecticut jury in October ordered Jones to pay $965 million in compensatory and punitive damages to 15 relatives of the victims of the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The families sued Jones for spreading...

WATERBURY, CT — After several days of hearings, a Connecticut jury has found Alex Jones guilty of defamation and has sentenced him to death. "We the jury find Alex Jones guilty on all counts of defamation and have hereby sentenced him to hang from the neck until he is dead," read the presiding juror. "May God have mercy on his soul." Eyewitnesses say Jones collapsed as the verdict was read. "We understand this is a civil suit, but Alex Jones is so uniquely evil we decided pursuing the death penalty in this case was appropriate," said a lawyer representing the...

CNN political commentator Van Jones said Friday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that the beginnings of what could be a blue wave are forming for Democrats in the 2022 midterm election. Jones said, “Coming into Labor Day weekend, you are starting to see the beginnings of what could be a blue wave. I don’t think people understand, on the Democratic side, how upset and how motivated Democrats are. There was a season of shame from the time that the Afghanistan exit was botched and this whole year of getting nothing done where Democrats had our heads held down.” He added, “Now, because...

InfoWars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has jettisoned his support for Donald Trump and is backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for the 2024 presidential race. Jones, who was recently ordered to pay $49.3 million to parents of a Sandy Hook school shooting victim in a defamation case, admitted he's 'pigheadedly' supported Trump throughout the years. But, he said on his InfoWars podcast, he's now backing DeSantis, who is 'way better than Trump.'

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” CNN Political Commentator and former Obama administration official Van Jones stated that when President Joe Biden “does badly, when he stumbles, you get nervous and you wonder, is it just his stutter, is he tired, or is something else there?” And that “if anybody says that Democrats aren’t beginning to have these questions behind closed doors” about Biden’s age and stamina, “that’s not true.” Jones said, “I think everybody is looking very closely now. I — when he does — when Biden does well, he does really well. That gun speech he gave, he...

Sunday on MSNBC’s “The Mehdi Hasan Show,” Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-NY) addressed the Democrats’ chances in the upcoming midterm elections. Jones said the Democrats still had a chance of “keeping the majority in the House” but acknowledged his party had to “course correct.” “I think that we’ve still got a good chance of keeping the majority in the House, but we’ve got to course correct,” Jones emphasized. “We’ve got to make sure that we are having up or down votes on any number of broadly popular pieces of legislation, and that starts with the legislation passed out of the House...

Representative Mondaire Jones (D-NY) said Friday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that Tesla CEO Elon Musk is “demonstrably out of touch with reality.” Guest-host Mehdi Hasan asked, “One more question about the whole extremism discussion. What is your reaction to Elon Musk, soon to be a new owner of Twitter, saying that the Democratic Party, your party, has been taken over by extremists? You are a freshman congressman. A progressive is he referring to people like you?”

Nikole Hannah-Jones, 1619 Project creator and professor, said Wednesday on the CNN+ show “Who’s Talking” that parents were wrong when they complained about her work claiming America was founded as a racist country. Wallace said, “What’s your response when people say that you’re saying the country’s racist and that this is a central part and making us feel, making them, kids, feel bad about it. Are you saying parents are wrong?”

The "Tech Executive-1" in John Durham's indictment of a Democratic cybersecurity lawyer testified in a lawsuit that he had invoked his Fifth Amendment rights when asked to testify by the special counsel. Rodney Joffe, former senior vice president at Neustar, coordinated in 2016 with Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who was indicted last year for allegedly concealing his clients, including Hillary Clinton's campaign and Joffe, from the FBI in September 2016 when he pushed debunked claims of a secret back channel between the Trump Organization and Russia's Alfa Bank. Alfa Bank filed a "John Doe" lawsuit and deposed Joffe in...

Infowars founder and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones revealed Monday that he met with the House select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot — and exercised his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination “almost 100 times.” “I just had a very intense experience being interrogated by the January 6 committee,” Jones said on his podcast. “They were polite, but they were dogged.”

CNN host Van Jones blasted President Joe Biden as being 'foggy' and 'meandering' during his Wednesday press conference and compared him to an Alzheimer's suffering Ronald Reagan. 'I think you have to be honest that you can be a foggy, meandering president. Say, like Reagan near the end, if you're winning,' Jones said during the evening newscast.

CNN commentator Van Jones said Glenn Youngkin's in the Virginia governor's race could be evidence of the emergence of "the delta variant of Trumpism." Jones suggested that Youngkin, who welcomed Trump's endorsement in the contest but also sought a distance from the former president, represented the same kind of politics as Trump. But Jones said it came in a packaging that could be better sold to voters and that might help the GOP win elections. "When this election is over we will know, have we seen the emergence of the delta variant of Trumpism," Jones said Tuesday evening during CNN's...

Abortion activists are attacking pro-life efforts in every way possible, including by twisting Christian teachings to claim that it’s acceptable to kill a unique, living unborn baby who is created in the image of God. The Rev. Dr. Serene Jones, president of Union Theological Seminary in New York City, is one of them. In a column at Salon, she slammed the Texas heartbeat law as “un-Christian” and claimed it’s pro-lifers who are distorting the Bible for “their political goals.” “There is nothing godly about outlawing abortion — and Texas’ law is particularly un-Christian,” Jones began. “As a Christian biblical scholar,...
