His are the only Bond movies I watch. The others are poor attempts to capture what Sir Sean defines as 007.

Other actors worked at playing James Bond...Connery WAS James Bond. And admit it, a great era for all of us to have been alive and to have experienced that model of men. I pity those who will only know the current model of Beta males and the kinda-sorta women who have shaped that model into existence.

Simply the greatest. As noted, the best Bond of them all. Loved him in "Untouchables": 'This town stinks like a whorehouse at low tide!' Or when 'interviewing' Andy Garcia, who turns out to be Italian: "That's all we need, a thieving w*p on our team." Garcia, pulling a weapon: "Better than you, you Irish pig!" Connery, to Costner: "Oh I like him. He'll do." Costner: "I like him too."

Memorable mention of Connery in the First Wives Club movie. Goldie Hawn's character was lamenting how Hollywood only cared about the age of women, not men. Then she said something like 'look at Sean Connery, 300 years old and still a stud.' Gotta agree with her on that point. He aged very well. Loved all of Connery's work, and he will be missed. He was a fine representative of Scotland too.

I remember going to see “Goldfinger” when I was 15 - the first Bond flick I’d seen - and hearing him say “you’re a woman of many parts, Pussy...” but my favorite role of his was Jimmy Malone in “The Untouchnables”. RIP, Sir Sean, and thanks for the memories.

Sir Sean Connery was the only real James Bond, a man's man who made no excuses for being so. And he did a lot more than the 007 movies. I remember him with Tippi Hedren in Marnie (1964), around the time he did Goldfinger. In 1964 my paternal grandmother took me to Nashville's Belcourt Cinema where we watched Goldfinger, then in its early release time. Before the movie she told me is was about James Bond. As a 9-year-old who hadn't heard of him them, I thought James Bond was the guy down at the bank. I learned better that day. (I do voices, and Sean Connery is one of my favorites. I warm up by pronouncing Connery's native country the way he did: "Sch-cot lund" and Bobby Jones in a Masters' film he narrated "Bawby Jawnsch") Thank you for all you did, Mr. Connery. You did good.

Since announcing his candidacy for President in 2015, Donald Trump has dominated the national news cycle — largely to the benefit of legacy media companies. As a growing amount of their airtime centered upon their hatred of the businessman turned politician, many witnessed sharp increases in their audience sizes. The New York Times, for instance, saw more subscriptions in the last three months of 2016 than all of 2015 combined. During election week in 2020, CNN saw a 135% increase in viewership over the first week of November 2019. After the inauguration of President Biden, however, legacy media saw double-digit drops in their viewership.

Democrats call their current massive spending bill a "COVID relief" bill, but the half-trillion-dollar bailout of state governments has nothing to do with COVID-19 relief. Plenty of states are doing poorly fiscally, but generally, this has nothing to do with the pandemic and everything to do with their own mismanagement.This was a disputed point back in the spring, but no more. The numbers are in. The coronavirus has not left most states struggling for revenue the way people originally expected.The Congressional Budget Office is anticipating 4.6% economic growth in 2021.

A new survey from the National Republican Congressional Committee found that Republicans are in a strong position to take back the House in 2022, in part because Pelosi is so unpopular in every “key” subgroup, including women, Hispanics, and union households.Breitbart noted: The survey identified the 80-year-old speaker as the “most unpopular elected official in the country,” scoring a 52 percent unfavorable rating and 41 percent favorable rating.

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.
