The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified.

Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

Heed my words: If you're doing it right, film criticism is a full-contact sport.

Let the professionals take this cinematic concussion for you. It's not worth it, I swear.

My review of MELANIA, the feature film version of that creepy obsessive wedding video from LOVE ACTUALLY, is at @thewrap.com.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

Journalists aren’t supposed to report “both sides.”
They are supposed to report the truth.

DHS is not telling the truth. Stop reporting their lies.

Alex Pretti was a 37 year old ICU nurse who put his body between ICE and a woman they were physically assaulting.

They sprayed chemical irritants into his face, beat him, and then shot him to death.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
