FLINT, MI -- A British production company behind an Alec Baldwin-narrated documentary on the Flint water crisis is postponing a planned U.S. theatrical release after the actor shot and killed a cinematographer with a prop gun on the set of the film “Rust” last week. “FLINT: Who Can You Trust?” was scheduled to open in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, Oct. 29, followed by screenings in additional selected cities, and finally a Flint debut at the Flint Institute of Arts in mid-November.

It's bad timing to accuse Trump of murder.

Who can you trust? Not Alec Baldwin with a gun. Now we know how the lead got into the Flint water supply.

They seem to be working really hard to blame everyone but Baldwin. I don't care who had it first or what they told him, no one told him to point, aim and shoot. In the end, it's all his fault.

That water problem was caused by the democrats in office. Not PRESIDENT Trump. He had nothing to do with it. Nice try Alex. But you handle a gun as bad as Ted Kennedy drives a car.

In the entire body of reporting on the "Flint water crisis" I never once read of: 1) blood lead levels of children being reported publicly 2) any children actually being sick from the supposed lead in the water. Some reports said that the ONLY lead pipes were in the homeowner owned service lines from the water meters to the homes....short runs, and NOT the responsibility of the city, responsibility of the home owners. Hard fact....no pun intended. Lead pipes in most of the country are rapidly coated in the inside with calcium carbonate deposits (basically limestone depositing out of the water). After a short period, there is NO metallic lead in contact with the drinking water, and no lead dissolving into the water. There are a few, rare situations where the water quality is such that this doesn't happen, but IMO, you need to PROVE that the short runs of lead pipes were actually putting lead into the water. IMO, the whole deal was a fraud or at minimum a massive exaggeration. Show me how many children actually had high blood lead levels. Until then....I don't buy the story.

Flint is responsible for maintaining Flint's municipal water system. Apparently they did not do this resulting in the Flint water crisis. Since Flint is a mostly minority run, minority populated Democrat run city, the city's responsibility was largely ignored and everyone/anyone else was blamed.

Another unnecessary disaster caused entirely by Democrat machine politics and blamed on the governor because he was the only Republican in sight. The city was a basket case before that even happened.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., blamed police for the recent rise in crime in Minneapolis, accusing the city's officers of not fulfilling their oath of office. "What we must also recognize is that the reduction in policing currently in our city and the lawlessness that is happening is due to two things," Omar said during a town hall event Saturday in Minneapolis. One of them, she said, is that "the police have chosen to not fulfill their oath of office and to provide the public safety they are owed to the citizens they serve."

If the Babylon Bee had been asked to write a “National Gender Strategy” to be posted on the White House’s website, it wouldn’t look any different than the document the Biden administration actually released last Friday. The “fact sheet” contains every buzzword and policy that you would expect to hear from a progressive activist with a degree in gender studies. The four-page document begins by identifying “gender equity” as a “moral and strategic imperative.” Thanks to COVID-19, “we are at an inflection point,” the statement reads, as the pandemic has “magnified the challenges” that women and girls face — “especially

There can be few better examples of ideologically convinced politicians running head-on into reality than a new California law known in the Legislature as AB 1346. This bill, signed into law in September by Gov. Gavin Newsom, is the personification of today’s faddish hostility to everything fossil fuel by the Democrats who dominate California government. These ideologues want to ban natural gas appliances from new construction. They want new cars to be all-electric before 2040, even if few have the range to travel from one end of California to another without long stops for recharging. And they are getting their

A magnitude 3.6 earthquake rattled Southern California early Sunday, rousing some residents from their sleep but apparently triggering little if any damage. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck just after 7 a.m. local time, centered less than 2 miles west-southwest of East Los Angeles. The quake was initially reported as 3.9, but the USGS revised the magnitude a short time later. Some less-rollicking aftershocks followed. No damage was immediately reported, and Los Angeles County did not issue a shake alert on its earthquake app. "#Earthquake early warning alerts are sent for events that are measured M4.5," the county

Video footage captured the moment the Bottega Veneta store on Chicago's Magnificent Mile being robbed for the second time in three weeks - after the city's AG stopped pursuing shoplifters who steal less than $1,000. One robber was seen letting his pal into the Italian designer store, scaring a terrified shop assistant in the process, before they began clearing its shelves of luxury leather goods, which retail for up to $6,200. The thieves had left the scene with luxury merchandise that cost tens of thousands of dollars, exactly 21 days after a prior robbery saw 35 bags lifted on September 20.

NEW YORK — With computer-generated imagery, it seems the sky’s the limit in the magic Hollywood can produce: elaborate dystopian universes. Trips to outer space, for those neither astronauts nor billionaires. Immersive journeys to the future, or back to bygone eras. But as a shocked and saddened industry was reminded this week, many productions still use guns — real guns — when filming. And despite rules and regulations, people can get killed, as happened last week when Alec Baldwin fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins after he was handed a weapon and told it was safe.

To great public fanfare, Joe Biden has anointed Rachel Levine a “four-star admiral” in the Public Health Service (PHS). The public relations campaign in support of Levine has emphasized his status as the first transgender four-star “admiral” in the “eight U.S. uniformed services.” That PR campaign is misleading, and it is part of a dangerous effort to undermine the military.(snip) This roll-out and publicity barrage leave little doubt that Levine’s primary qualification for his instant promotion is his transgender status.

Alec Baldwin got to play his dream role last week, and unfortunately for an innocent woman, it was a method-acting version of Ted Kennedy. Now, you note that I am mocking a guy whose probable gross negligence killed a lady and maimed a man, and this raises an important question – do we really want to live in a world where our reaction to a tragedy caused by an enemy is not sorrow and compassion but mockery? It doesn’t matter what we want. We do live in such a world, in large part due to the likes of Alec Baldwin.

The reference is to the Thursday slaying of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was hit by discharge from a prop gun while working on the Baldwin film “Rust.” Baldwin, the film’s star, was handling the weapon from which the fatal shot was fired. The movie’s director was injured as well.
