Reviews of Alien: Earth are chock full of jokes about the endless Peter Pan references from Boy Kavalier, so it occurred to me that I hadn’t posted anything about silent movies in a while. In honor of the forced references in Alien: Earth here are a few movie posters from 1924’s very FIRST big screen adaptation of the James Barrie tale, starring Betty Bronson as Peter.

No mere words will suffice to mark the passing of Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA hero who never hesitated to set up a chair inside the lion’s mouth and try to talk sense to political zealots. This husband and father was always thought of by me as “the amiable firebrand” because of the way he combined political passion with a willingness to engage with opponents he surely knew harbored hatred toward him.
This assassination by forces that still dominate college campuses across America highlights the way that university administrators have been paving the way for such violence for decades now. Those administrators were often 1960s generation leftists or had the misfortune of being “educated” by 1960s leftists.
Remember that self-confessed school bomber Bill “Guilty as sin, free as a bird” Ayers, the embodiment of the most hate-filled elements of the 1960s left, not only became a “teacher” himself but also influenced the politically intolerant approach to “education.”
For decades now, the intolerant Democrats and other leftists who run America’s colleges and universities have done everything they could to show hostility toward any speakers to the right of Lenin or Mao. Heckler’s vetoes and the violence toward opposing opinions were spitefully ignored by the politically biased professors and administrators.
The murder of Charlie Kirk was not a bug to those intolerant political robots. Such killing was the intention all along. May Charlie Kirk’s name live forever, and the names of Bill Ayers and his ilk return to the sewage from which their bearers came.

Several years ago a big deal was made over whether or not the 9-11 attacks could have been prevented by greater coordination between elements of the forever corrupt intelligence community. Amid the predictable partisan bickering and childish finger- pointing that characterized the 9-11 Commission and its findings an important consideration was overlooked.
That consideration was how events would have unfolded if the attacks had actually been thwarted. Let’s take a quick look at the idiocy that might have followed. Continue reading

DEMOCRAT COMPLICITY IN THE IRYNA ZARUTSKA MURDER. They also tried to censor the part of the tape where the killer says “I got that white girl.” NEW YORK TIMES SAYS ONLY “THE RIGHT” IS UPSET ABOUT THE MURDER.

MICHIGAN JUDGE CORRECTLY DISMISSES THE CHARGES AGAINST FIFTEEN PEOPLE FOR THE PERFECTLY LEGAL ACT OF SELECTING ALTERNATE ELECTORS YEARS AGO. More HERE.

IN DEMOCRAT-RUN MINNESOTA, ICE HAS ARRESTED AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PREVIOUSLY CONVICTED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT WHO WAS EMPLOYED WITH MINNESOTA’S DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. Let me emphasize that for overseas readers – A CONVICTED SEXUAL ASSAILANT WHO IS ALSO IN THE U.S. ILLEGALLY WAS EMPLOYED BY DEMOCRAT-RUN MINNESOTA’S DEPARTMENT OF “EDUCATION.”
So, did this Kenyan’s fellow employees know they were working alongside such a figure? Was he employed with full awareness of his past or did Democrat delusions that doing background checks is a “racist” activity mean that nobody even looked into his past or his immigration status?

So, with Buford Pusser being exposed very recently and the Warrens being exposed long ago, yet movies still being made that depict the latter two figures in a positive light, watching any of the many movies about all of them seems in bad taste now.
Y’know?
Seriously, their movies individually are cringe-inducing these days.
I can’t imagine how it would feel watching multiple movies about any of the three.
What an ugly state of affairs this has turned into. Continue reading

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION MAKES LARGEST EVER SEIZURE OF METHAMPHETAMINE CHEMICALS. More HERE. It was headed from China to the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico. Any bets on when Democrat judges try blocking such crime fighting efforts?

DEMOCRAT COUNTY COMMISSIONER IN PENNSYLVANIA ARRESTED IN MAJOR DRUG BUST.
DEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN ILHAN OMAR’S NET WORTH JUMPED FROM FIFTY-ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS IN JUST ONE YEAR. More HERE. And HERE. Looks like she’s using the Pelosi Method of throwing a spouse into the mix. Remember all the uproar years ago about having Trump reveal several years’ worth of tax returns? How about such scrutiny regarding ALL elected officials?
CORRUPT AND BIASED ANTI-TRUMP “JUDGE” JAMES BOASBERG BLATANTLY RELEASES THE FIGURE ARRESTED FOR TRAVELING TO WASHINGTON DC TO – AS THEY BOASTED – KILL TRUMP. More HERE. Boasberg represents everything wrong with judicial prejudice and abuse.

DEMOCRAT CONGRESSWOMAN ANSARI CALLS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HER “CONSTITUENTS.” Look, we all know Democrats have been letting illegal immigrants vote in violation of the law, but Ansari has provided a real “mask off” moment. Continue reading
DEADBEAT AT DAWN (1988) – Four years in the making, Deadbeat at Dawn is rightfully called America’s Street Fighter – as in the 1974 Sonny Chiba movie, NOT the later video game. Writer and director Jim Van Bebber also starred in this 81-minute film as street gang leader Goose.
That antihero wields a self-taught bone-crushing, blood-spurting, throat-ripping mongrelized form of martial arts that makes Sonny Chiba’s beatdowns in Street Fighter look almost gentle by comparison.
Audiences not only wince at the violence in Deadbeat at Dawn, they thrill to the stunts that Van Bebber and his collaborators were able to pull off without the benefit of professional stuntmen or fight choreographers.
The risks taken by our auteur and his cast embody the ballsy guerilla filmmaking spirit as surely as Jorg Buttgereit’s efforts on both sides of the Berlin Wall in the early 1980s. The makeup and special effects for the butcher’s shop of injuries and dismemberments suffered by various characters are more like horror films than action flicks. Continue reading
