Hollywood’s Sinking Ship Sends F-List
Actors Flocking to Anti-American Chinese
Propaganda Films

The rapid decline of Hollywood’s share of the Chinese film market – the largest in the world as of 2020, when the Chinese coronavirus pandemic shut American cinemas and productions down – has created a small but growing market of Western actors landing big roles as the villains in communist propaganda movies. Hollywood studios have spent much of the past decade attempting to court Chinese audiences, which necessitates groveling to the Chinese Communist Party lest their productions get censored or simply outlawed in the country. The American entertainment establishment has tried everything – from spending heavily on low-intellect and inoffensive comic book movies to erasing even a suspected mention

I ain’t watching no Commie Chinese movies, not even on Netflix. If there’s enough people like me in this country, the Chi-Coms will have to peddle their wares elsewhere.

Whatever Hollywood is producing is absolute crap including any Chinese propaganda movies. Nothing is new and original just redo's like Westside Story which is bombing and deservedly so.

We need to revive the House Committee on Un-American Activities. There is fertile ground to be tilled there. I cannot imagine how quickly Americans have embraced the vile philosophy of communism. We only have to look at history to see where this is going to lead. The Chinese are so transparent in their intentions to shape this world into one of their choosing and the ignorant Hollywood crowd is assisting them. Frankly, I have abandoned all interest in what the entertainment world has to offer. It is politically correct to the point of groaning, it is anti-American in its story telling, and worst of all it borders on depravity. There is no real value to it in my opinion and I don’t feel I am missing out in the least.

Identity politic chickens coming home to roost: "“If Hollywood still cannot really respect and understand Chinese culture and just randomly mixes some Chinese elements into their films, it will lose a large amount of its fans in China,” the Chinese propaganda outlet Global Times warned in April."

It's a shame the Chinese people have no voice or wherewithal to contradict the government. Basically they are like trained seals and are subjugated to the state. They don't own anything ... the government does and are not free and live in fear. If you disobey, they will disappear you. I believe they were a big part of getting Joey Boy into the White House. It will be interesting to watch the Olympics this year. As for Hollywood, the glory days are over. You hear that Robert De Niro.

I'd say stay away from these actor's films---except I have never heard of the actors, ever!. However, the Matt Damon's and LeBron James of this world, men who have made fortunes in their respective fields but are greedy for more no matter what, and Disney (how far they have fallen from Walt, who must be turning isn his grave) are another story. Their names are noted well and anything THEY do, from basketball to films to Disney streaming, are totally off my list forever.

The former president and his vice-president provided a joint message on the day after a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas – remember George Floyd. The two most prominent Democrats in the country stepped over the dead bodies of at least 19 children and two teachers to recognize the second anniversary of the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police. It is hard to imagine a more tone deaf response. We expect more from our presidents, past and present.

The majority of voters believe gun violence will increase during President Joe Biden’s tenure, a Politico/Morning Consult poll found Thursday. When respondents were asked whether they believed “there will be more, fewer, or the same amount of incidence [sic] of gun violence” in the “next few years,” 54 percent said there would be more gun violence during that time, which would be during Biden’s presidency. Thirty-four percent said gun violence would remain about the same. Only five percent said they believed gun violence would decrease in the next few years.

Vladimir Lenin supposedly once said, “The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.” There’s some doubt as to whether this line is genuine; regardless, it seems like a pretty good description of what the Biden administration is doing to Ameri ca’s middle class. Inflation is running rampant. The Producer Price Index, the most useful measure of general inflation, is up a whopping 16.3% from April 2021, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That means that roughly $1 out of every $6 that people earn has been lost to inflation in a single year.

Feels like we have a full-blown scandal in the making here. Bad enough for the cops not to intervene while frantic parents begged them to go in. But to actually punish them, however briefly, for pleading for their children’s lives? I’m trying to picture the scene outside the building at the next school shooting. (And the one after that, and the one after that, and the one after that….) How many parents will bring guns with them and race for the school’s entrance before the cops can stop them?

He said that after shooting his grandmother, Ramos fired at two persons at a nearby funeral home before entering the school – climbing over its fence and entering through its west side door, a video of which was obtained by

Just one week ago, this same pollster offered an outlier single-digit gap for Joe Biden’s job approval rating, 42/50. Suddenly, however, the Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll has Biden at a -23 gap and 36/59 on overall job approval. That puts Reuters/Ipsos on the other side of the outlier category, with a gap fully ten points larger than the latest survey from … Rasmussen Reports. What happened? U.S. President Joe Biden’s public approval rating fell this week to 36%, the lowest level of his presidency, as Americans suffered from rising inflation, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll completed on Tuesday. The two-day national poll found that 59% of Americans disapprove of Biden’s job performance.

Sherman asked if Sinema would be willing to “set aside” the filibuster to force some kind of gun control measure through the evenly divided Senate.

Jean-Pierre said there is "no one better" than Rice to lead the effort in the wake of a mass shooting Tuesday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. She was responding to a question about whether President Joe Biden intended to tap his vice president as a gun czar, a role Biden held during the Obama administration that some Democratic lawmakers have urged the president to fill again.
