Kathleen Kennedy helped run one of the most important entertainment industry properties in film history into the ground. The long-time head of Disney-owned Lucasfilm, Kennedy's been responsible for the most recent "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" projects. Relatedly, Disney is looking to replace her as studio head. News broke earlier in 2025 that Kennedy was being pushed out, though she denied that Disney was forcing her out, instead of leaving on her own terms.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) is taking a strong stand to protect federal law enforcement officers from the dangerous and growing threat of doxxing— publicly revealing someone’s private or personal information online. Her new legislation aims to safeguard the privacy and safety of those who put their lives on the line to keep Americans safe by making it a federal crime to publish their personal information online maliciously. This comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have increasingly been targeted by anti-ICE activists who have escalated their efforts to disrupt immigration enforcement and

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is leaving the Democratic Party and writing that its betrayal led to former President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 election, according to a statement from Legacy Lit, who is publishing her upcoming book.
Jean-Pierre announced her new book “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines” set to publish in October 2025 on Wednesday. The book, according to her publisher Legacy Lit, encourages Americans to “vote their values and maintain individuality within party lines.”

A Texas man has been arrested after Palm Beach Police said he jumped the wall of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club and told officers that he wanted to "spread the gospel" to Trump and marry his granddaughter.
Anthony Thomas Reyes, 23, was arrested in the early morning of June 3 and faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge, court records show. He remained at the Palm Beach County Jail on a $50,000 bond after pleading not guilty later in the day during his first appearance before Judge Daliah Weiss, according to jail records.

This week is significant for Christians worldwide, including myself, as we commemorate Jesus Christ’s death and sacrifice on Good Friday and celebrate his resurrection on Easter Sunday. However, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has announced new regulations that will severely restrict foreign missionaries in China starting May 1. Citing the need to combat “extremism” and protect national security, these measures threaten religious freedoms.
Under the new regulation, foreign missionaries must obtain government approval for lectures, sermons, and group activities, facing a burdensome application process that details the date, time, location, and attendees.

Whitney Houston's iconic role in The Bodyguard remake 29 replies
Taylor Swift's fans are convinced the pop superstar will be taking on Whitney Houston's iconic role in a remake of the beloved 1992 film, The Bodyguard.
The romantic thriller originally starred Kevin Costner, 70, as Frank Farmer, a former Secret Service agent turned professional bodyguard, who is hired to protect Rachel Marron (Houston), a famous singer and actress, from an unknown stalker
San Francisco was once a shining example of a great American city, but now it is mostly a punchline. The metropolis that gave us epic Mark Twain quotes, Levi’s, an iconic music scene, the Golden Gate Bridge, and so much more is now known more for excrement on the street, crime, mass drug addiction, and homeless people sprawled across the sidewalks. Given that, you’d think they’d figure out what to prioritize to improve the lives of their citizens.

Their answer, though, will make your head spin. They’ve decided to erect a 45-foot statue of a woman in Embarcadero Plaza to “jazz up” downtown. They might certainly achieve their
A Pennsylvania judge accused of shooting her ex-boyfriend in the head while he slept may spend decades behind bars — as she was convicted of attempted homicide and aggravated assault charges Wednesday.
After two hours of deliberations, a jury convicted Sonya M. McKnight, a magisterial judge in Dauphin County, on both charges she faced — one count of attempted murder and one count of aggravated assault.
Lakeville Public Schools has agreed to pay $30,000 in legal fees after a lawsuit over "Black Lives Matter" posters put up in the district.

What we know:
The Upper Midwest Law Center, a conservative nonprofit law firm, celebrated the settlement in a news release on Thursday.
The law firm brought the lawsuit on behalf of a group of parents and students in 2022, claiming the district put up political Black Lives Matter posters but disallowed other political posters, like "Blue Lives Matter" or "All Lives Matter" posters.
In a ruling that should outrage every parent, taxpayer, and conservative voter in Texas, a federal judge has stomped all over the authority of the Texas A&M University Board of Regents—greenlighting a sexually charged, ideologically driven drag show to proceed on campus despite a commonsense ban.
Senior U.S. District Judge Lee H. Rosenthal, appointed by George H. W. Bush, issued a sweeping preliminary injunction Monday that forces Texas A&M to allow the so-called “Draggieland” event—a campus drag show hosted by the “Queer
Democratic Connecticut state Sen. Martin Looney proposed a bill that would require Connecticut movie theaters to publish a film’s actual start time.
Moviegoers know that times listed on movie tickets indicate when the previews begin, not the actual movie.
If passed, S.B. 797 would require theaters to publish both times on tickets.

The questionable sincerity of CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s devout Catholicism was on display for the second straight night as The Late Show host welcomed actress Cynthia Erivo to hype her upcoming role as Jesus, telling her that her casting as the “first woman to play Jesus in a major production, long overdue.”
Colbert began, “One of my favorite musicals of all time is Jesus Christ Superstar. I love that—and I'm so excited that in August you're going to be playing Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. At the Hollywood Bowl. Apparently, the Hollywood Bowl saw all the criticism Netflix got for rumors it is considering casting Meryl Streep as Aslan, C.S. Lewis’s
What they're saying: One former White House official who worked closely with Jean-Pierre told Axios that she "was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I've ever worked with. ... She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers."
"She didn't know how to manage a team, didn't know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved," the official said.
A former Biden communications official threw more wood on the fire: "The hubris of thinking you can position yourself as an outsider when you not only have enjoyed the perks of extreme proximity to power —
China doesn't have the best track record when it comes to batteries for things like electric cars and scooters. In fact, some of these Chinese lithium batteries have an unpleasant tendency to become explodey. Granted, this is a problem with batteries like this in general, but China's quality control standards in general are, shall we say, not the greatest. From steel to batteries, China just doesn't quite measure up.
Case in point: Now a ship carrying 3,000 cars from China to Mexico, 800 of them electric vehicles, is off the coast of Alaska, abandoned, burning, and spewing toxic smoke. How "green" is that?
In a major breakthrough that could finally bring long-awaited answers to the American people, federal investigators have recovered Dr. Anthony Fauci’s COVID-era phones and electronic devices, which could include data crucial in determining whether the former architect of the federal pandemic response lied to the public and to Congress.
FBI Director Kash Patel, working alongside congressional investigators on the origins of COVID-19, revealed the bombshell during his appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
“I mean, we just had a great breakthrough this week on Fauci,” Patel announced. “Senator Rand Paul, Senator Kennedy—
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) threatened Friday that his state would stop tax payments to the federal government, after news reports suggested President Donald Trump was thinking of cutting funds to the state. As Breitbart News noted earlier in the day, reports emerged suggesting that the Trump White House was considering cutting federal funding to California due to its challenges to, and defiance of, federal policy.
Breitbart News reported:
President Donald Trump is reportedly considering ways to pull more federal funding from the State of California, as Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) continues to defy White House policies, despite needing money.
Maybe Trump And Musk Are Playing 5D Chess?
15 replies
Whenever President Donald Trump does something that confounds his biggest supporters, the common response is: “Well, Trump is playing 4D chess.”
Some posited that this is what was going on after Trump’s initial response to Elon Musk’s bashing of the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” [snip]
This isn’t 4D chess – not that we have any idea what 4D chess means.
But maybe it’s 5D chess – the kind of chess that can warp reality in such a way as to make liberals’ heads explode.
Hear us out. The left hates Trump and Musk about equally. When they were working together, the hatred toward them was turbocharged.
But what happens when Trump starts bashing Musk
Everybody has been laughing at CNN's skydive without a parachute, and we all had a chuckle when the ratings came out that showed that CNN's viewership is now about 1/6th that of Fox News.
After all, who would have predicted that the publicity push for Jake Tapper's "Original Sin" (apologies to Alex Thompson, who co-wrote the book and is an actual journalist, but nobody cares about non-celebrities anymore) wouldn't give CNN a bump or two in the ratings? I expected it would have, since any publicity is good publicity if you are looking for ratings.
So it's funny that the more people see Jake Tapper, the less interested they are

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man whose erroneous deportation to El Salvador became a protracted battle over due process and a test of wills, has been returned to the United States to face human smuggling charges in Tennessee.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said Friday in a news conference that he had landed in the U.S. “to face justice.”
Abrego Garcia has been named in an indictment charging him with transporting within the U.S. people not legally in the country. The two-count indictment, sealed by a Tennessee court last month, alleges that Abrego Garcia participated in a conspiracy over nine years to move people from Texas deeper into the country.
On January 19, 2025, Leonard Peltier — convicted for his role in the execution-style murders of FBI Special Agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams — was granted clemency by President Joe Biden. The commutation, issued in the final hours of Biden's presidency, blindsided the law enforcement community and reignited long-standing wounds within the FBI family. But as raw as that moment felt, time has brought a new perspective, and more troubling questions.
Peltier was convicted in 1977 for his involvement in the brutal ambush and murder of two young FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation. He did not act alone, but he was held accountable
On May 27th, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the COVID-19 vaccine would no longer be recommended for healthy children and pregnant women in the United States.
The very next day, a story appeared simultaneously across all major Canadian news networks, including CTV News, the Toronto Star, and The Globe and Mail, insisting that “COVID-19 vaccination ‘remains safe and strongly recommended’ during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.”
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the removal of Harvey Milk's name from a Navy replenishment ship, and the move stirred up the inevitable controversy.
It was intended to, just as the original naming of the ship was meant to be a poke in the eye of opponents of DEI. The choice to name the ship after Milk was meant to send a signal that the Navy was honoring Harvey Milk for being a gay rights icon, and the choice to remove it was meant to tell people that Trump's Navy doesn't honor people for how they deploy their genitals.
I have to admit that the
