Government Shutdown on the way? Horrors!

Image
  Not everything Hollywood does is racial and sexual propaganda F or once it’s the Democrats who are threatening to shut down the Government. Having learned nothing from their 2024 electoral loss, they think the public will turn against the Republicans is the world as they know it comes to an end. Refusing to vote in favor of a GOP Continuing Resolution needed to keep all the agencies and departments and bureaus and NGOs running is an option they believe will paralyze the nation until Trump can be made to see sense. Which could take a long time, because he never has seen sense yet. Brilliant, eh? As we all know, Government Shutdowns don’t stop the checks from going out to recipients of Social Security and Medicare payments, and the troops will still get paid.

I remember Immaculata from my Mercersburg days. Now you’ll remember them too.

MOVIE: The Highwaymen

Two old hands get it done. Yes, there are good movies out there. Not all of them in English. A couple of the best slam bang action thrillers are in Korean and Russian. We’ll get to those shortly because we don’t have the time for half measures, what with the world about to come to an end and all, but today we’ll start you off easy. With an actually good movie made in America. Surprised? Of course you are. Available right now at Netflix. P.S. Yeah, Bonnie and Clyde were gunned down with extreme violence. By guns. By two old white men. Who killed a woman, back when we knew what a woman was. No wonder the critics yawned at this movie. Don’t believe them.
