“The 15:17 to Paris” and the critics
We talked about the latest Clint Eastwood film, “The 15:17 to Paris” last year. It’s about the three Americans, Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler, who thwarted a lone-wolf terrorist attack on a train from Brussels to Paris. The trio star as themselves in the movie which spends an inordinate amount of time telling […]
Peter Maass: It’s Time to Wage War Against War Movies That Glorify Outdated Models of Masculinity
So, I bothered to read this tripe from Peter Maass in the Intercept entitled It’s Time to Wage War Against War Movies That Glorify Outdated Models of Masculinity. Basically, Maass is angry because Hollywood has stopped making movies which have too much sexual content, for some reason. He wants more movies like “Thank you for […]
Hollywood and Harvey Weinstein
I hate Hollywood. The whole controversy over the Harvey Weinstein scandal is a perfect example why I hate Hollywood. A few dozen women have accused him of sexually assaulting them in various manners ranging from dirty talk to accusations of rape. None of them came forward over the years because they didn’t want their accusations […]
Trump blocks VoteVets on Twitter
I really don’t blame President Trump, VoteVets adds nothing to the discussion about veterans – they’re just a bunch of T-shirts that MoveOn puts in front of their protests. But VoteVets seem angry that the President has blocked them; The Commander in Chief can block @VoteVets, the voice of 500k military veterans and families, but […]

Pres. Trump Chooses Science Advisor
I’ve been waiting to find out who will be Pres. Trump’s science adviser. It appears to be physicist Dr. William Happer, a physicist currently teaching at Princeont University, and former Director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science from 1991–1993. He’s no slouch as a scientist. His work for the Air Force […]
Bad Santa?
We wrote the other day about Eric Schmitt-Matzen, a former Army Ranger dressed as Santa Clause who comforted a child as the child died in his arms. The Ranger Regiment verified his service with the 2d Battalion of the 75th Rangers in the earl 80s, but now the media is backtracking on his story of […]
