Jeebus. The right has made a fantasy "biographical" movie, purel pop-culture propaganda film, about Ronald Reagan, with a cast of MAGA has-beens, including Dennis Quaid, Kevin Sorbo, Jon Voight, etc.Bilge Ebiri of Vulture said the film was "pure hagiography, but it's not even one of those convincing hagiographies that pummel you into submission with compelling scenes that reinforce their subject's greatness.

Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Kyle Smith said, "Mannered acting, dismal cinematography, clunky attempts to enhance excitement via gimmicks such as slow motion, and a musical score like a fountain of goo all serve as flashbacks to Reagan-era network schlock." Nick Schager of The Daily Beast wrote, "Regardless of how you feel about Ronald Reagan the president, most will be united in finding this biopic a preachy, plodding, graceless groaner." #USPol .

Donald Trump’s campaign requested military aircraft for Trump to fly in during the final weeks of the campaign, expanded flight restrictions over his residences and rallies, ballistic glass pre-positioned in seven battleground states for the campaign’s use and an array of military vehicles to transport Trump, according to emails reviewed by The Washington Post and people familiar with the matter.

Kamala Harris’ Abortion Speech Broke New Ground

If you watch the video of Harris' speech, have some tissues handy.

But this wasn’t just any old campaign speech about abortion. Her remarks came on the heels of an event with Oprah, where Amber Nicole Thurman’s family spoke about her life and death, begging Americans to not see her a statistic. Harris speech today seemed determined to keep that promise—shining a light on who Thurman was, and why her life mattered so much.

Trump's rambling rants get a pass, but Biden was labeled 'too old'?

To the pundits and the Republicans who relentlessly decried President Joe Biden’s age, “cognitive decline” and “mental acuity” right up to the day he stepped aside in the presidential race, allow me to unspool a recent quote from 78-year-old GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. ...

Trump Judge Rules Deadnaming Trans Students Teaches "Tolerance" In Bizarre Opinion

To support this ruling, the judge issued unusual legal opinions, including the assertion that using students' preferred names and pronouns was not "pursuant to her official duties." The judge further argued that students' names "convey a message” and that it was not the teacher's responsibility to convey that message.
