When you think of biblical epics in film, what comes to mind? Do you envision Charlton Heston hefting the Ten Commandments in, well, The Ten Commandments? Or maybe Charlton Heston locked in a life-or-death chariot race in Ben-Hur? Or Charlton Heston in … well, you get it. Charlton Heston was in a lot of those movies. But one biblical epic that Charlton Heston wasn’t in? The Prince of Egypt. The 1998 film wasn’t produced by Old Hollywood, but a different kind of studio: DreamWorks Animation. Though the inspiration for the film—wasn’t far off from Old Hollywood. DreamWorks co-founder and former...

Trump-hating rocker Bruce Springsteen is allowing the American Civil Liberties Union to use his iconic, if often misunderstood, America trashing Vietnam War anthem “Born in the USA” for the ACLU’s ad campaign promoting the leftist group’s birthright citizenship case set for an April 1 Supreme Court hearing challenging President Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order restricting who is eligible for birthright American citizenship. The use of Born in the USA as a patriotic song is a 180 degree reversal for Springsteen who has long downplayed the notion the song is patriotic. When Born in the USA was released in mid 1984...

IF YOU HAD HBO IN THE LATE 1980s and early 1990s, odds are good you were never more than a few hours away from a certain type of film. They were straightforward, pleasing pictures: a laconic, sandy-haired American dispensed justice with a minimum of wit and a maximum of roundhouse kicks. Rarely much longer than 105 minutes, you didn’t need to watch them from start to finish; they were almost designed to be watched in bits and pieces. You could pick up the plot as you went: Odds are there were some bad guys in black pajamas and a soldier...

VIDEOThis isn't AI. What you are seeing and hearing in this video is the REAL voice of Bad Bunny from 2023 when his Autotune went out during a performance. As a result his real voice which ended up losing a talent contest to a singing seal.

The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show was pure smut, brazenly aired on national television for every American family to witness. Children were forced to endure explicit displays of gay sexual acts, women gyrating provocatively, and Bad Bunny shamelessly grabbing his crotch while dry-humping the air. And if that weren't outrageous enough, the performance's lyrics openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities. These flagrant, indecent acts are illegal to be displayed on public airways. That is why I am requesting that the Energy and Commerce Committee launch a formal congressional inquiry into the National Football League and NBC...
