New comic book publisher Rippaverse is bringing non-woke audiences the superhero entertainment they have craved in the cancel culture age, inviting a new fleet of heroes to the entertainment realm without the "woke" makeovers recently witnessed from Marvel and DC Comics. Rippaverse founder Eric July and comic book artist Gabe Abdul Eltaeb joined "Fox & Friends" Thursday, offering insight into their mission and how their first issue, ISOM #1, brought in more than $2 million in presales. "What I wanted to do was be a part of the solution instead of griping about the problem, so I had the idea, it made sense financially, and it was the perfect

Wow. So, if you make a protect people want to read, they'll buy it? What a radical idea! And the big companies are wondering why their numbers are crashing. And they are - stories report how much money they're bringing in, but that's because the book prices are up to $6 a piece. The actual number of books being sold has plummeted.

The president of one of the car clubs I belong to, is a big Stan Lee/Marvel comic and movie fan. He'sconstantly setting up special movie screenings for these shows. I outgrew comic books and fantasy foolishness a long time ago and I guess I don't understand the people that eagerly await every new movie premier. I understand escapism, it's just not for me.

Anything with a mega monster or a costume superhero I left in my youth. I don't understand but I'm proud to say I never watched Star Wars or Star Trek so color me clueless about what I'm missing. I do wish the non-woke producers' luck and success in these days of rampant stupidity.

Twitter reported a surprise decline in quarterly revenue on Friday — and partially blamed its ongoing battle with Elon Musk for the unexpectedly weak results. The social media site reported $1.18 billion in revenue during the March through June quarter — a 1% year-over-year decline. Analysts had expected Twitter to post $1.34 billion in revenue, according to Refinitiv data. In a release, Twitter blamed “headwinds associated with the macro-environment as well as uncertainty related to the pending acquisition of Twitter by an affiliate of Elon Musk.” Twitter shares were down 2.3% in pre-market at $38.60 trading on Friday.

Ukraine and Russia have signed a UN-backed deal to allow the export of millions of tonnes of grain from blockaded Black Sea ports, potentially averting the threat of a catastrophic global food crisis. A signing ceremony at Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul was attended by the UN secretary general, António Guterres, and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey’s president, who had played a key role during months of tense negotiations. Guterres said in remarks at the ceremony that the deal would open the way to significant volumes of food exports from Ukraine and alleviate a parallel food and economic crisis in the developing world. He said “the beacon of hope

Donald Trump watched his supporters storm the US Capitol on television while his senior staff begged him to call the rioters off, the January 6 committee has claimed. Democratic congresswoman and committee member Elaine Luria introduced a prime-time hearing on Thursday by saying the committee would present evidence to show Mr Trump failed to act while the attack unfolded. “This hearing is principally about what happened inside of the White House that afternoon, from the time when President Trump ended his speech until the moment when he finally told the mob to go home. A span of 187 minutes, more than three hours,” she said.

The New York Times opinion section actually published a shocking project where eight of their columnists admitted they were wrong about either economics, tech, foreign affairs or politics. At the top of the list was none other than “transitory” inflation gaslighter Paul Krugman.  The Times’s economic columnist published an op-ed with a headline that didn’t beat around the bush – for a change – and acknowledged how bad his unrealistic takes on the inflation crisis were for the past year. “I Was Wrong About Inflation,” says the headline.

President Joe Biden broke CDC guidelines on Thursday by refusing to wear a mask around others while infected with the coronavirus. The CDC website states, “It is important to wear a mask or respirator when you are sick or caring for someone who is sick with COVID-19.” Biden shared a photo and video of himself, seemingly alone, on social media. In order to capture those images, he had to be in close proximity to an individual holding a camera — and chose to go maskless: Biden had criticized former President Trump for not wearing a mask as president, calling him “falsely masculine.”

The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutiques at Disneyland and Walt Disney World will re-open on August 25 after being closed due to the pandemic. This is good news for young children who want a makeover in the dress-up salon to transform into a princess or a knight. There is a catch, though. Disney has not learned the lesson yet that not all of its customers wish to live in a world of gender neutrality in every aspect of their lives, especially in the lives of their young and impressionable children. Fairy Godmothers in Training provide little girls and boys between the ages of 3 and 12 with makeovers that allow them

As I’ve pointed out a couple of times recently, China’s zero Covid lockdowns continue to impact hundreds of millions of people throughout the country, even though it’s having a negative impact on the country’s economy. But there’s some indication that the impact could be much worse over the long term than it is in the short term. In May the South China Morning Post reported on the uptick in professionals looking to leave China. Emigration consultants in China have seen a rise in enquiries in recent months, with a noticeable spike since the end of March when outbreaks of the Omicron variant emerged in Shanghai… There are no hard statistics

Members of then-Vice President Mike Pence's security detail were calling their loved ones to "say goodbye" as violence escalated at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, a former White House security official told the January 6 committee in testimony played on Thursday evening. "The members of the VP detail at this time were starting to fear for their own lives. There was a lot of yelling, a lot of very personal calls over the radio, so it was disturbing. I don't like talking about it," the official, who was unnamed for security purposes, told the committee. "But there were calls to say goodbye to family members, so on and so forth,"

Washington - The Supreme Court on Thursday declined a request from the Biden administration to prioritize certain immigrants for deportation but said it would hear arguments in the dispute later this year. It's the first big emergency case of the summer and the first for Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. What did Biden want?: Biden's Department of Homeland Security wanted to prioritize for deportation immigrants it believes pose a threat to national security or public safety. Other immigrants would have been less of a priority. The administration asked the court to allow it to continue the policy temporarily. Who sued and why?: Texas and Louisiana

Take a handful of hallucinogens, sedatives and edibles, wash them down with a healthy amount of your favorite liquor during a backyard barbecue with people you love, some you barely know and others you can't stand, and you'll approximate the political climate in the United States today on the eve of the midterm elections.

A Pennsylvania Democrat facing one of the toughest races in the midterm elections said she "might have to school" rural Trump voters in order to win their support. Rep. Susan Wild, D-Pa., is running for reelection in Pennsylvania's redrawn 7th congressional district, which now includes Republican-friendly Carbon County. During a virtual meet & greet on Monday, Wild said the Republican voters of Carbon County may need to be educated on the error of their ways. "Carbon County has many attributes, but it is a county that – although it was once an Obama county – it since has become a Trump county," she said.

In an interview with the New York Times, Cheney alleged her alliance with Democrats on the partisan January 6 commission to attack Trump is not political but rather educational. “I don’t look at it through a political lens,” she claimed about her work on the committee. “I look at it through the angle of: People need to understand how dangerous he is and how unfit for office he is.” Cheney, who has received praise from Democrats for joining them in combatting Trump, is running behind in primary polls against Trump-endorsed opponent Harriet Hageman

(Snip) First, I am a big Governor DeSantis fan. He is showing what strong state leadership looks like and how it is possible to constitutionally resist a tyrannical federal government. DeSantis has been a profile in courage, toughness, sensibility, and even love as he stands for the citizens of Florida. He is the living embodiment of a patriotic executive.
