Nolte: Movie Box Office Bottoms Out to Three-Year Low
Posted By: Chris Jr., 7/3/2019 4:41:12 PM
Hollywood is so far having a terrible, no good, very bad 2019 with its worst box office performance in three years. Currently, box office receipts are lagging behind last year by a full ten percent, and around half a percent behind 2017 and 2016. One more flop and 2019 could easily slip behind 2015. What should terrify the movie business all the more is that things are even worse than they seem, because… There is only one studio holding up the year and that’s Disney, which is responsible for 2019’s top four money makers:

Last week, there was a story about a lawyer suing New York City for allowing Democrats rioters to torch and loot stores on Madison Avenue. As I prepared the story for an item in Highlights of the News, I noticed who broke the story.
Cindy Adams.
She is 90.
She is the longest running columnist at the New York Post, with her work appearing in the Page Six gossip section.
Today she trended on Twitter for writing, "Trump’s niece is ‘drawing blood to make money’ with new book."

On Monday, congressional Democrats put on African stoles, walked to a photogenic spot at the Capitol, and knelt to show support for Black Lives Matter movement. When the photo op was over, Nancy couldn't get up. An aide rushed to help the 80-year-old woman get to her feet.
I believe this is what political experts call a defining moment.

In an effort to promote civics education, I am starting a new feature: Meet Your Government in which I introduce readers to their various government officials. Let's start at the top with President Rosalind Sargent-Burns. [Snip] Unlike the 45 previous presidents, she was neither elected president nor promoted there as a vice president. Instead, she was appointed president by Attorney General William Barr on May 28, 2019, when he chose her to serve as the Acting Pardon Attorney. According to Democrat Senators Patrick Leahy and Sheldon Whitehouse, she -- not Donald John Trump -- decides presidential pardons. The Hill reported that Leahy and Whitehouse sent a letter to her and demanded that President Rosalind Sargent-Burns Text edited *

It should have been New York City. The American flags defiantly flying in the night air should have been against the skyline of Manhattan.
But the celebration of liberty and freedom was in Hong Kong.
It should have been us. [Snip] We do not deserve the thanks because we know that such a display in New York City would draw boos and fists. I cannot determine which liberals hate more, our flag or our president. [Snip] Our idiots take to the streets to promote communism. [Snip]. . . we need to be brave enough to adopt Hong Kong's ways because those once -- long ago -- were our ways.

The highlight of President Donald John Trump's rally last night in Monroe, Louisiana, was the president reading the tweets of Mark Zaid, who claims to be the lawyer for the alleged whistle blower. Zaid tweeted 10 days after the inauguration, the "coup has started." [Snip] I read some of his tweets and thought no one could be so stupid as to leave a paper trail.
And yet, here we are. [Snip] While we laugh at their Barney Fife dumbness, let us not let our guard down. Even a ninny can pose a danger.
Reagan returns to Berlin

President Ronald Reagan spoke at the Brandenburg Gate on June 12, 1987, as part of the celebration of the 750th anniversary of the founding of the German capital. [Snip] And so it became, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" as in, "General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
The deep state tried to 86 it, but the line stayed. History was made.
On Saturday, the Trump administration will install a statue to Reagan in front our embassy.

In August 1995, organizers for the annual Veterans Day Parade in New York City looked at how much money they had three months before the big day. $1.21. [Snip] The Times reported, "Then Donald Trump, a non-veteran, agreed to throw in $200,000 as well as raise money from his friends . . ." [Snip] "'This donation is the single most important thing I've ever done,' said a beaming Trump. [Snip] This is my way of saying thank you to all the men an women in the armed services who have made it possible for me to become a success. . .
Killing America in anonymity

The media tells us there is a "heroic" whistle blower who claims President Donald John Trump broke a law -- never specified -- in a phone call to the newly elected president of Ukraine. President Trump released the transcript of the call, which shows nothing of the sort. Nevertheless, the media is pushing for an impeachment top(sic) boost cable news ratings, and to divert attention from the best economy in 50 years, Disney's ABC covering up Clinton's involvement with pedophile Jeff Epstein, and peace breaking out in Syria after 8 years of war.
In a constitutional republic, we elect our leaders.
Why Schiff

The assignment of the impeachment to Adam Schiff and not the House Judiciary Committee shows what the real aim is.
Democrats assigned the House Intelligence chairman this task to protect the intelligence agencies who tried to overthrow President Donald John Trump. America's spies and the FBI tried to frame him. [Snip] 3 days before the inauguration, Chuck Schumer bragged that the intelligence agencies can get you six ways to Sunday. That's possible. [Snip] . . .there is hope for a return to governance as a constitutional republic instead of this cabal of bureaucratic fiefdoms with their insurance policies against the election of a president they do not want.

Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman ignored a direct order from the commander-in-chief. A court made decide whether Vindman broke the military code of justice.
President Donald John Trump ordered him not to appear before a House committee. The Military Times played down Vindman's insubordination. [Snip] The story said he may get an Article 15 for his Seven Days in May defiance of the president. Article 15 is a step below court-martial. [Snip] Do not let the uniform fool you...he is a political activist in uniform. I pray our nation will drop this hate, vitriol & division, & unite as our founding fathers intended!

Wait,… what? Who cancelled the recession? [Snip] . . .the overall Q3 GDP growth is +1.9 percent. However, behind the economic growth stats the scale of U.S. Main Street strength is the real story. Main Street consumer spending was up 64 percent on goods and 36 percent on services. As those who follow MAGAnomics closely will remember, the Main Street economy is founded upon middle-class spending. Strong jobs, wage growth, low taxes, low inflation, and low energy costs, means more disposable income. Disposable income grew 4.5% in the third quarter.

在动荡不安的战斗中，[Snip] The text above makes no sense to readers. That was my intention.
I am making a point that people in Washington keep missing about Donald John Trump. Just because you fail to understand something does not mean it makes no sense. [Snip] "By holding out baits, he keeps him on the march; then with a body of picked men he lies in wait for him."
Which explains Donald John Trump's Twitter feed.
As president, his job is to listen to advice, consume information, and reach into his education and experience to make a decision. [Snip] My only confusion is why so many intelligent people do not see this.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill.
It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people.
But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination
Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

In an open letter released Sunday, Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden urged him to “honor his commitment” and include the Hyde Amendment in Democrats’ $1.9 trillion COVID-19 spending package, writing “we feel used and betrayed.” The letter states: We are very disappointed about the COVID-19 relief package’s exclusion of the Hyde Amendment, a longstanding bipartisan policy that prevents taxpayer funding for abortion. [snip] As pro-life leaders in the evangelical community, we publicly supported President Biden’s candidacy with the understanding that there would be engagement [with] us on the issue of abortion and particularly the Hyde Amendment
If you had any doubts that Meghan Markle is a manipulative piece of work, her bombshell Oprah interview Sunday night dumping on the British monarchy would set you straight.
Prince Harry’s American wife accused his family of hateful racism against her baby, claimed they refused to protect her and drove her to the point of suicide.She made the incendiary and implausible charge that when she was pregnant with Archie, the royal family decreed that her unborn son would be denied the title of “prince” because her mixed race meant he might have dark skin.
Joe and Jill Biden’s German Shepherds were shipped back to Delaware after a “biting incident” involving White House security, CNN reported.Major was adopted by Joe Biden and his handler wife Jill in 2018 from an animal shelter.Major and Champ moved into the White House in January and they’re already gone. The condition of the victim was not disclosed but it was serious enough to remove both dogs from the White House.CNN reported: The two German Shepherds belonging to President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden were returned to the Biden family home in Delaware last week
Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab.
The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,
President Biden on Monday seemed to forget Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s name at a White House event—calling the Pentagon chief “the guy who runs that outfit over there.” Biden was announcing the nomination of two female generals to lead US military combatant commands. “And I want to thank the sec—the, the, ah former general. I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.
The Royal Family was left reeling this morning after Meghan Markle tearfully revealed that the stress of royal life made her suicidal when she was five months pregnant, claimed Archie was denied the title of prince because he is mixed-race and said Kate Middleton made her cry before she married Harry in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.The couple also chose to reveal that they are having a baby girl to the tens of millions of people watching the CBS show broadcast in the US before accusing the Royal Family of racism and revealing the deep rift 'Megxit' has caused with Prince Charles and Prince William.
I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says.
After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
Without question, the vast majority of Americans who support former President Donald Trump were angry and frustrated throughout 2020 passed with barely a mention of then-U.S. Attorney John Durham’s criminal investigation into the FBI’s fraudulent “Russiagate” counterterrorism operation directed at his 2016 campaign.In the weeks before the November election, word got out that then-Attorney General William Barr wasn’t going to announce any indictments or even a report on Durham’s investigation because he did not want to influence the outcome.So far, in fact, the only indictment to come out of the Durham probe is that of former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who essentially got a slap on the wrist
Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo! News’ Skullduggery podcast, the Tennessee Democrat said the effort is getting a fresh look after the release of a new movie highlighting the FBI’s secret program to discredit civil rights activists. The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details
“There must have been a moment, at the beginning, when we could have said –-no. But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard
The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man.
Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
