Like all Rob Reiner movies, Rob Reiner’s documentary, God & Country: The Rise Of Christian Nationalism, didn’t just tank at the box office, it was humiliated. In 85 theaters, Reiner’s bigoted attack on Christians who dared to vote for Donald Trump earned just $38,415 over four days. As one website put it, that’s “averaging $451 [per] theater over four days, which is incredibly low.” If you assume it only had “one showing each day (and likely it had several), it brought in around 112 dollars a day, or ten people a day spread across however many showings.” What, you’re telling me people don’t want to see this guy’s face

If it's like most Hollywood movies, it will always be a money-loser. But Reiner will make millions. As it was explained to me, all the "profits" of the movie are eaten up in production costs. You know, a set that actually cost $100 to make gets billed to the picture for $9,800. And any smart actor (or agent) doesn't have his contract share in the profits, but a share of the gross. A movie that brings in $100 million, well, if your contract calls for 2% of the gross, that's $2 million. Basically, movies are all financed like the guys in "The Producers."

Meathead WAS a notably great director. Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, A Few Good Men, these defined by young adulthood and were great films, anyone who says otherwise is simply inconceivable. But he like so many didn't stay in his lane and outpaced his brain's capacity. A lesson.. just because your brain excels at one thing doesn't mean it excels at all things. Stay in you lane Meathead. Obviously you don't know as much as you think you do.

Thanks for reminding me how great Rob Reiner's mother was in "When Harry Met Sally." Other than that, Reiner himself was never as important as his father was in Your Show of Shows.

Rotten, stinking, obnoxious, stupid Reiner....making another stinker of a "movie", actually just a screed. I keep hoping to read his obit so I don't ever have to read about his obnoxious, stupid bloviations again. Being a Christian and a nationalist, I'd probably be one of his hated types. And I'm proud of both titles, not going to change either of them. I spit in the general direction of this punk.

A passenger on a cross-country United Airlines flight captured shocking video of the “wing coming apart” while the plane was making an emergency landing. Kevin Clarke was among the 165 passengers aboard the Boeing 757-200 on the flight Monday from San Francisco to Boston when the right wing appeared to start shredding. He caught video of the horrifying incident as the plane made an emergency landing nearly 2,000 miles from its planned destination. “Just about to land in Denver with the wing coming apart on the plane,” Clarke is heard saying moments before landing in the clip posted by his wife.

WASHINGTON — President Biden has given first dog Commander to relatives, the White House said Wednesday following revelations of more brutal attacks on Secret Service employees — including a case in which White House tours were suspended to mop up blood from the floor of the East Wing and another attack where an agent suffered a “severe deep open wound” at Biden’s Delaware vacation home. Commander’s propensity for biting Secret Service members was first revealed by The Post in July 2023, with internal documents showing at least seven agents were injured — but the president didn’t immediately part with the German shepherd

Two suspects have been arrested in connection to the break-in of a Secret Service vehicle parked outside the Washington, DC, home of President Biden’s granddaughter, according to court documents and the federal law enforcement agency. Robert Kemp, 19, and an unnamed juvenile were taken into custody earlier this month after a Secret Service investigation into the November 2023 incident in DC’s tony Georgetown neighborhood, where Naomi Biden lives and receives Secret Service protection. Kemp was charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle and theft from auto, according to the Secret Service. However, court filings in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia

Chicago has a problem with retailers closing their doors, pulling up stakes, and getting the hell out of the city's most dangerous neighborhoods. Without warning last week, a KFC franchisee "abruptly" shuttered three South Side locations. One outlet, located in Chatham, had been "undergoing renovations for months" when the franchise owner apparently just gave up and boarded up the windows instead. According to the same Fox 32 Chicago report, the Great KFC Vanishing came "less than one month after Cinema Chatham, a local movie theater, shut down." That closure also came without warning.

When Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) isn’t busy fraternizing with Chinese spies, it appears he enjoys feeding his wanderlust and appetite for the finer things at the expense of campaign donors. The lawmaker has reportedly spent considerable sums of campaign funds to travel the globe, partake of fancy dinners, spend time at luxury spas, and a host of other extracurricular activities. Swalwell’s campaign shelled out over $2.1 million in these diversions last year, with expenses spanning from chauffeured cars to childcare. The question is: Will he face any accountability for this?

Let's begin with one of life's truths. The American Democrat Party is the most hypocritical organization on the face of the earth. Yeah, I know; you already knew that — but this article will more than illustrate that truth. When Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis first began shipping busloads of illegal aliens to northern "sanctuary cities," state and local Democrat leader lost their ever-loving hypocritical minds. Welp, as more and more illegals continued to find their way north, plaguing cities like New York City, Chicago, and even Denver, a funny thing happened to the sanctuary-city mindset: "We gotta get these illegals outta here!"

In United States immigration policies and practices, all of the incentives are tilted the wrong way. Immigrating to the United States legally is time-consuming and expensive; crossing the border illegally is not only free but comes with plenty of free stuff and benefits. Now, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is about to tilt those incentives still further the wrong way, as they are raising the cost of becoming an American citizen. Fees associated with becoming an American citizen are set to rise on April 1, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced.

It was widely expected that Joe Biden wouldn't serve out a full term as president. Even in 2020, his mental decline was obvious to anyone who watched him on the campaign trail. Few, if any, actually expected that he'd seek a second term. PJ Media's Rick Moran noted a mere ten months into Biden's term that he was governing like he knew he wouldn’t seek reelection, and I agreed. Some believed that the only reason Biden and the White House were even claiming that Biden's plans to run was to “avoid weakening his standing,” which made sense and was an appropriate strategy.

President Joe Biden is considering an immigration crackdown that closes the border if more than 8,500 try to cross in one day, a law repeatedly used by former President Donald Trump. The law would, if the migrant crisis reached those numbers per day, unilaterally enact a sweeping ban at the southern border, according to three people familiar with the deliberations. The administration, stymied by lawmakers who rejected a negotiated border bill earlier this month, has been exploring options that Biden could deploy on his own without congressional approval.

The two-state solution that Joe Biden wants to impose on the two parties currently at war in the Middle East, a solution neither side will ever accept in the near future, is a myth that's also threatening to collapse the Democratic Party from within.

A discovery of 2.34 billion metric tons of rare earth elements (REEs) in a mine outside of Sheridan, Wyoming, has generated great excitement across industries stateside. For one, the reserves are estimated to be bigger than China’s current reserves, implying that this single find could end America’s reliance on Chinese exports if exploited judiciously.

Earlier this week a couple of propagandists, also identified as scholars, released a ranking of U.S. presidents. It has about as much credibility as the Clinton Russia hoax. But it does reinforce the gaslighting narrative that so many of our institutions are engaged in. The list, part of a Presidential Greatness Project compiled by a pair of university professors, ranks Joe Biden as the 14th best president. Ever. We’re talking the Joe Biden who is in office today. There has been no other president from an earlier era named Joe Biden to be confused with. The academic malpractice doesn’t end there.
