Sound of Freedom is once again shocking the box office with expectations of reaching nearly $23 million in its second weekend in theaters. The film grossed more than $7 million on Friday, putting it on pace to finish the weekend with $81 million and to break $100 million in gross receipts, according to box office reports. Sound of Freedom continues to beat Sony Pictures Insidious: The Red Door overall, in addition to besting Disney’s latest Indiana Jones film on a daily basis for nearly a week. The movie, which is distributed by Angel Studios, details

The headline could be clearer. It's 81 million (or more) to date. It could reach 100 million in the next week or two if the attendance surge remains strong (rare, but maybe not here.) The movie was #2. The Indy flop was #4. Its production cost was rumored to be $14 million (its cost to get it from Disney is publicly unknown.) Its profit will be astronomical. It's been suggested it could reach revenues approaching $150 million. It's a sure bet the Oscar quality supporting actors will receive zero recognition during awards season. The thing is a hit with Spanish speaking audiences and press.

I think the top figure will be met. Churches are using the great pew-packing technique of the Second Great Reviva of the 1810's. Since I only read MSM guardedly, meaning this website only, I do a bit of hit-and-run on headlines. Angel films is more interested in getting the message out than in garnering box office receipts.

I think the success of this film is due to two things. First, it is a good film that deals with a serious here and now topic - child human trafficking. (Our open borders facilitate this problem). Secondly, all the customers who liked going to the movies, but stopped going due to Hollywood's cranking out of sub par movies, now have a chance to send the left coast a message about their products. The more the left criticizes this movie, the more people attend.

Take that, Hollywood. May your strike last forever while less woke groups continue to produce good movies and TV series. Maybe some day, the success of “Sound of Freedom” will open y’all’s eyes to what Americans really want. The Brits do their programming (movies and TV series) far, far better without the woke, the profanity, the gay sex, and the nudity. Every time I try to stream an American-made production, I have to turn it off not long into it. So I head back to Britbox, Masterpiece, PBS, etc. Shows like Grantchester, Line of Duty, and other great British series have a far, far better product.

This movie exposes the evil of human trafficking -- of innocent children, no less -- and yet it seems the left and their media don't like it. Why??? Because it sheds light on an inevitable aspect of illegal immigration? Or could it be that the left -- which supports abortion -- simply doesn't care about "the children"?

Those who defend destroying the innocence of children through trafficking, pedophilia, and drag queens grooming children to accept the trans lifestyle should be exposed and opposed for their corruption— We are all God’s children and as the movie emphatically proclaims… God’s Children are NOT for sale!

The left doesn't care about " the children" or anyone actually except themselves. IMO many of our "betters" are personally involved in using these kids for their various predilections. Epstein wasn’t the only game in town, for sure. Many of our elites are much more vile than we credit them for being.

I've been a huge Superman fan ever since as a kid I saw the late great Christopher Reeve fly in 1978. Therefore, when Man of Steel came out decades later, I saw it twice. I will do the same for Sound of Freedom as to me it was that profound. As an added bonus it's making the pro-groomer trans apologists in Hollywood the fake news media and other leftist democrat enclaves get their panties in a knot over how successful the movie's been. On that joyous note alone, I might break the bank and see it three times.

Disgraced Disney CEO Bob Iger “put roughly a third of the company up for sale this week,” Bloomberg Business reports. According to the report, the sale announcement was a subtle but unmistakable one. Iger made the announcement during his disastrous CNBC interview last week, where he was caught lying with the false claim that Disney is not sexualizing children. By declaring its cable and broadcast TV assets “noncore,” the report says, Iger told the world ABC TV, the FX cable networks, National Geographic, and Freeform are all for sale. He’s also looking for a partner for the failing ESPN.

GOP presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis became the first 2024 contender to enter the South Carolina primary Tuesday and defended rival and Republican front-runner former President Donald Trump during a campaign stop in the Palmetto State. Flanked by supporters, including state legislators who have endorsed his bid, DeSantis signed his filing documents during a stop at the South Carolina Republican Party headquarters in Columbia, making him the first major party presidential candidate officially on the ballot for the first-in-the-South contest. During a press conference afterward at the Celebrate Freedom Foundation, a nonprofit founded by retired military leaders, DeSantis was asked by a reporter about breaking news

Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel (D.) announced Tuesday she had filed criminal charges against 16 people who signed paperwork falsely claiming that Donald Trump won the 2020 election. It is the first time a state attorney general has charged so-called “false electors” who participated in a scheme to overturn President Biden’s victory. Biden carried the Wolverine State by over 100,000 votes. The 16 people charged include high-profile Michigan Republicans like Meshawn Maddock, co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, and Kathy Berden, a national committeewoman from Michigan for the RNC.

Barack Obama released a rare public letter denouncing the “profoundly misguided” attempts to ban books in libraries across the country. “Today, some of the books that shaped my life – and the lives of so many others – are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. It’s no coincidence that these ‘banned books’ are often written by or feature people of color, indigenous people, and members of the LGBTQ+ community,” the former president wrote. Obama’s comments come amid a wave of parent concern over the addition of highly sexualized content to public-school libraries. Much of the concern has focused on the book Gender Queer

A federal judge in Oregon ruled on Friday that a new state gun law does not violate the US Constitution, keeping one of the toughest gun laws in the country in place. US District Court Judge Karin Immergut ruled that Ballot Measure 114’s restrictions on large-capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds are constitutional because these magazines are “not commonly used for self-defense, and are therefore not protected by the Second Amendment.” “Even if LCMs are protected by the Second Amendment, BM 114’s restrictions are consistent with this Nation’s history and tradition of regulating uniquely dangerous features of weapons and firearms to protect public safety,” the ruling said.

We’ve seen how companies like Bud Light and Target have taken a severe hit for the various ways in which they have bought into the woke mind virus. Bud Light has now even been hit by the Costco “Death Star,” which means they’re in deep trouble. Speaking of trouble, let’s look at Disney.

Megyn Kelly laid out some of that evidence showing that we’re winning against the woke when it comes to Disney, too. She explained how they lost about $900 million

Longshot Democratic presidential candidate and conspiracy theorist Robert F.

In a report by the New York Post titled “RFK Jr. says COVID was ‘ethnically targeted’ to spare Jews,” video appears to show Kennedy speaking at a dinner in Manhattan. In a discussion on bioweapons and “ethnically targeted microbes,” Kennedy claimed that “Covid-19 attacks certain races disproportionately.” “Covid-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese,” he said, according to the video

In mid-February, we reported that Fulton County (Georgia) Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ordered a limited release of excerpts from a special grand jury’s report on former President Donald Trump and his associates’ alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia: The probe’s objective was to look into Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election in the Peach State. The report was scant on details, but in one section, jurors expressed concerns over perjury on the part of some of the witnesses. Later that month, Bonchie wrote about Emily Kohrs, a member of that special grand jury, giving interviews to NBC News and CNN.

Iowa was, for a long time, a political swing state. Speaking as one who grew up there and lived there until my 26th year, and most of whose family still lives in Iowa, I can say with some confidence that Iowa is a place of great momentum. In small towns and rural areas like the one I grew up in, not much changes from generation to generation. Not industries, not farming practices, not families. But Iowa is an important state politically, mostly due to its status as the opening bell for presidential primaries. Note Tucker Carlson’s recent series of interviews with various GOP POTUS candidates – in Iowa.

In a video posted to social media, Ramaswamy announced that his campaign crossed the 65,000 unique donor threshold this week.

In late June, New York City announced plans to implement its new “Skip the Stuff” bill, which aims to reduce plastic use by fining restaurants and delivery services handing out unsolicited plastic items like ketchup and cutlery. Food vendors and delivery services have a moment to adapt. Actual fines won’t start being handed out until July of 2024, and until then, violators will only receive warnings, Bloomberg reports.

But this year it’s not happening to Democrats, at least not yet, it’s happening to Republicans, and there’s a better than average chance it’ll screw up the country going forward.

If there was any confusion left about who Lia Thomas really is (besides being a man), this latest development settles the issue once and for all. Thomas initially gained fame for dominating NCAA women’s swimming as a “transgender” athlete. Prior to that, he had languished for years competing against his biological peers in the men’s league. Interspersed with what was being seen in public at the time was a battle behind the scenes. As multiple women have testified, Thomas invaded women’s locker rooms, flaunting his decidedly male genitalia with no care for their comfort. Meanwhile, college administrators essentially threatened the female athletes who objected, asserting that the issue was decided
