Rockwell’s son and other descendants wrote that the paintings had been used without the family’s authorization and that the artist would be “devastated” to see his work “marshalled for the cause of persecution toward immigrant communities and people of color.”

Le cinéaste britannique avait reçu un Oscar en 1967. Lassé par les attaques contre ses films, ce pourfendeur de dogmes avait quitté son pays natal puis cessé de tourner. Il s’est éteint, vendredi 31 octobre, à 90 ans.

Saint-Nicolas Sarkozy, son faux martyre et ses mauvais disciples
Les lamentations déplacées et comparaisons grotesques qui entourent la future incarcération de l’ex-président ont plus à voir avec une allégeance clanique qu’avec le souci de la justice.

Good grief…

Trump said: “It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it—and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of. It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

No one’s waiting for Hollywood to grow a pair and grab Trump back… but a little integrity and pushback from the place that once managed to keep a moral compass and make money wouldn’t hurt. They owe us that much. Somewhere between Capra and Kimmel, the courage got outsourced.
