💭 Hollywood Actor Mark Wahlberg joined NBC’s Today Show to discuss what his faith means to him.
On Ash Wednesday, Mark Wahlberg opens up about why faith is important to him, and working with the Catholic prayer app Hallow. He also shares if he still wakes up in the middle of the night and why he moved with his family to Nevada.Some of those in Hollywood do respect faith.
During the interview, the actor said, “you know it’s not popular in my industry but you know I can not deny my faith.”
💭 Academy Award-winning actor Tim Robbins recently joined Russell Brand’s podcast to explain his personal transformation over the course of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) plandemic. In the beginning of the mass hysteria, Robbins bought into every COVID-19 narrative that was offered up by the corporate media and the government of California.
Tim Robbins admits to being played and used
Living in Los Angeles at the time, Robbins complied with strict government edicts, home arrest, isolation orders, contact tracing, and the dehumanization and mental illness that came along with social distancing and gathering restrictions. When the government discriminated against people of faith and shut down churches and small businesses, he complied. When the government wanted to mock family sovereignty with insidious mask mandates, he complied.
“I bought into it. I was masking everywhere. I was keeping my social distance. I was adhering to the requests made of me, and I felt angry at people that didn’t do that,” Robbins told Brand.
Robbins believed that locking the population down for so-called vaccines was virtuous, and he expressed hatred toward anyone who didn’t submit to the jabs and all the mandates. When a so-called vaccine was unleashed, he got on board with vaccine mandates, vaccine passports and the segregation of those who didn’t consent.
He is publicly apologizing for his actions, now. Today, he regrets complying with lockdowns, forced masks, vaccine mandates, segregation and all the other dehumanizing acts that were carried out in the name of public health and safety. Robbins said his personal experiences were at odds with what he was being told by the media and the government. His eyes were finally opened when he traveled to Britain. There, he “noticed a lot of people were not adhering again to these requests made by their government.”
“I thought, well, they’re going to have a hard day coming up, that there will be some serious death here,” Robbins said. “When I saw that there wasn’t a huge death rate [in Britain], after I witnessed personally what was happening, I started to wonder more and more about what we were being told and whether it was true or not.” Those who fought for freedom ultimately changed his mind.
Lockdown-loving elites and force-vaccine tyrants FAIL to apologize and repent
California is led by a petty tyrant – Gavin Newsom – who suspended the rule of law in 2020 and dictated via executive order. Newsom used terror to shut down small businesses and churches, while demanding all residents of California abide by stay-at-home orders. The Hollywood elite promoted the lockdowns and vaccine passports, while people’s livelihoods, careers and education hung in the balance. Newsom shut down schools and abused kids with mask mandates, subverting the will of the parents and mocking the sovereignty of the family unit. The California government and county leadership threatened the medical privacy and body autonomy rights of individuals, while subjecting their minds to mental illness and compliant group-think that perpetuated government tyranny, child abuse and spiritual oppression. California continued to threaten pastors, restaurant owners and parents, while Republican state leaders around the country fought for freedom and human dignity.
Newsom went on to mock the “unvaccinated” as “drunk drivers” while promoting vaccine passports that locked them out of society. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti targeted the unvaccinated and told them they would lose their jobs.
“I heard people saying [during the pandemic], ‘If you didn’t take the vaccine and you get sick, you don’t have a right to a hospital bed,’” Robbins told Brand. “It made me think about returning to a society where we care about each other. Your neighbor would be sick, and you’d bring over some soup. It didn’t matter what their politics were, you’re their f—ing neighbor.”
He continued: “You go from someone that is inclusive, altruistic, generous, empathetic, to a monster, where you want to freeze people’s bank accounts because they disagree with you. That’s a dangerous thing. That’s a dangerous world that we’ve created. And I say ‘we,’ because I was part of that. I bought into that whole idea early on.”
When will more Hollywood elites come forward and apologize for their cruel hatred toward the healthy, the free, the brave, the “unvaccinated?” When will the elites repent for supporting the destruction of society, of humanity? Those who complied early on gave power to these monsters, and those who refuse to speak up and hold these abusers accountable today continue to give power to these monsters.
💭 Hollywood actor Jim Caviezel, who played the role of Jesus in Mel Gibson’s epic The Passion of The Christ, has admitted that children are being kidnapped and trafficked by Hollywood elites.
Caviezel appeared at the Clay Clark’s Health and Freedom Conference near Tulsa, Oklahoma this week and he addressed the issue of child trafficking in Hollywood, revealing that the entertainment industry elite are abusing children for adrenochrome.
According to Caviezel, who was promoting new movie Sound of Freedom, Hollywood elites are addicted to adrenochrome.
Sound of Freedom tells the story of Tim Ballard, a former CIA operative, who quits his job as a Special Agent with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Early reports indicate the film exposes VIP pedophilia and child trafficking.
Jim Caviezal not the only one who is coming forward and exposing the elites. Mel Gibson, who directed Caviezal in The Passion of the Christ, has also gone on record denouncing Hollywood as a “den of parasites” who “feast on the blood of kids.”
During a “controversial” appearance on the Graham Norton Show on the BBC in 2017, Gibson educated shocked guests about the real nature of Hollywood elites in the green room backstage after his appearance.
Hollywood studios are “drenched in the blood of innocent children” according to Mel Gibson who claimed the consumption of “baby blood is so popular in Hollywood that it basically operates as a currency of its own.”
Hollywood elites are an “enemy of mankind continually acting contrary to our best interests” and “breaking every God given taboo known to man, including the sanctity of children,” Gibson continued.
“It’s an open secret in Hollywood,” he said. These people have their own religious and spiritual teachings and their own social and moral frameworks. They have their sacred texts – they are sick, believe me – and they couldn’t be more at odds with what America stands for.”
The mainstream media quickly pounced on Gibson’s revelations, deployed fact checkers including Snopes to declare the comments fake news, and proceeded to delete every video and article from the internet. In short, the mainstream media memory-holed them. Mel Gibson’s voice was silenced.
A celebrity cannot speak out against the system without being silenced and punished. Gibson’s career has not been the same since.
That’s why it’s so important as many people as possible get to hear Jim Caviezal’s words before the mainstream media cancel him and destroy the evidence.
We have seen it happen so many times before. In recent times, Nicole Kidman and Lindsay Lohan also spoke out about pedophilia in Hollywood, before backtracking, attempting to cover their tracks, and pretending they never said what they did. Lohan and Kidman understand the nature of the consequences for those who bite the hand that feeds them.
Close friends of Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, Coolio and Anne Heche have come forward with remarkably similar stories, revealing the stars were working on exposing the pedophile ring at the heart of the music industry – and it cost them their lives.
These are dark times and bravery is required to live with eyes wide open.
It’s vital that Jim Caviezel’s revelations about pedophilia among the elite is heard by as many people as possible before mainstream media and the tech giants censor and silence him, as they did to his friend and mentor Mel Gibson.
No doubt the fact checkers are planning to delete his words from the internet and declare them fake news. That’s how they continue to keep the majority in the dark about the nature of the globalist elite who control the media and entertainment industries.

My Note: I personally stopped going to the movies, already seven years ago. I never liked those demonic Weinstein-related movies, like Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Scary Movies, The Lord of the Rings, Dracula 2000, Halloween II,, Gangs of New York etc. I felt the wickedness the moment I begun watching them – very dark and sinister! I never liked Harvey Weinstein, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino Ridley Scott or their likes. I think Holywood, The Music Industry, The Medias should be closed as soon as possible so that their wicked makers could be able to do some serious and deep soul searching.
The Perverted Left: #RAPECULTURE, Cover-ups, and Hypocrisy from Weiner to Weinstein
The growing number of sexual harassment and assault allegations against Democratic uber-donor and self-described “male feminist” Harvey Weinstein raise the question of why the same Democratic politicians and liberal activists consistently cling on to similar allegations against President Trump and other prominent Conservatives while tolerating a culture of silence and denial regarding the epidemic of sexual misconduct — which runs the gamut from workplace harassment to rape and pedophilia — being committed by their associates.
While there’s no denying that perversion and depravity exist across the entire political spectrum, the difference on this issue between the Right and Left in America is that based on the Left’s response to Weinstein’s downfall, Democrats appear to have a standard playbook for bending over backwards to defend against even the most shocking allegations when made against nearly anyone that calls themselves “progressive.
First, they’ll deny or downplay the significance of the accusations — no matter how serious — and show no compunctions about making light of any allegations against one of their own “male feminists.”
Then, when there’s simply too much evidence to deny that one of their own appears to have spent years as a sexual predator, they’ll go radio silent or offer empty platitudes about “due process.” This is always a stark contrast to the celebrations, denunciations, and pronouncements of guilt that take place when there is even a hint of accusations against anyone on the Right (instead of opening the floodgates when someone is found to be guilty, at which point all decent people should agree such condemnation is well-deserved).
And in the end, no matter how horrible the accusations against any of their donors, activists, or elected officials, nothing will change. Progressives will move on, learn nothing, and then continue to use (largely false) accusations against men of the Right like Bill O’Reilly, the late Roger Ailes, former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, and President Trump (whether proven or not) as evidence that Conservatives hold a monopoly on sexual misconduct and perversions, regardless of how many predators are exposed among their ranks. Many of the accusations do make sense from the standpoint of projection, the pot calling the kettle black, as the real “rape culture” runs rampant and largely unchecked among the left’s establishment.
It’s no surprise that the existence of “rape culture” continues to be an article of faith among American liberals when one considers how hard the Democratic establishment and its allies in Hollywood and the news media have worked to conceal what so many knew about that when it came to Harvey Weinstein it was considered “open secret” — that some of the worst examples of what they routinely rail against come from people on their own side.
But such hypocrisy is par for the course on the American left, which so often projects their own moral failures onto the Conservative movement that Sigmund Freud himself would have no trouble diagnosing them. Whether it’s slavery (opposed by the Party of Lincoln and protected by Southern Democrats), the horrors of the Jim Crow South (kept in place by the filibusters of Strom Thurmond and the rest of the Democratic “solid South” until Republican votes passed the Civil Rights Act), or the wink-wink attitudes towards eugenics of Margaret Sanger (whose organization remains funded despite the best efforts of Congressional Republicans thanks to unyielding Democratic support), the Left continues to ignore its own history and blame all the problems it caused on Conservatives.But nowhere is the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party more readily evident than in the never-ending list of sexual deviates that populate their ranks whose stories go unreported and whose names hardly ever pass the lips of the mainstream media. While the list we at The Gateway Pundit have compiled is by no means exhaustive, rest assured that we will add any that we may have overlooked, and will undoubtedly add more as their monstrous behavior is exposed.
No tour through the annals of liberal sexual perversions would be complete without including thrice-disgraced ex-Congressman with the most topically-appropriate name in the history of sex scandals: Anthony Weiner.
Weiner’s wiener first came to prominence in mid-2011 when a picture of a man’s underwear-clad crotch appeared — then disappeared — on the New York liberal firebrand’s Twitter account. Pressed by Andrew Breitbart (who first broke the story, which the mainstream media largely ignored at first) to explain the “brief” appearance of such an image on his timeline, he first claimed he’d been hacked, calling it “a prank and not a terribly creative one” before admitting the image was his, and after TMZ published more racy photos of the Congressman, whose rise was fueled in part by his marriage to Hillary Clinton aide and “surrogate daughter” Huma Abedin, resigned from the House.
Unfortunately, despite plans to get help for his addiction, Weiner didn’t stop sexting women, and when yet more pictures and racy chat logs scuttled his “comeback” campaign to by elected Mayor of New York City, it looked like that was the last we’d hear from Weiner — or his wiener.
But the most destructive crotch in the history of American politics wasn’t done yet. Not only did Anthony Weiner keep sexting, but he did so with underage girls on a computer he shared with his wife, who was then a senior aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. When FBI agents investigating more sexting allegations looked at the laptop, they discovered yet more emails from Clinton, then-FBI Director James Comey took up his pen, and the rest is MAGA history. Later on, Weiner would plead guilty to solicitation of a minor, be sentenced to prison, and will be required to register as a sex offender.
Jacob Schwartz, who was a rising Democratic star and de Blasio administration employee, was found to have over 3,000 images and 89 videos of “kiddie porn” on his laptop with content involving baby girls as young as 6 months old.
Eliot Spitzer, the former governor of New York, resigned in utter disgrace following the news of a prostitution scandal that showed that Spitzer had paid up to $80,000 for prostitutes over a multi-year period.
Roman Polanski, the famous film director and friend of Meryl Streep (the most feminist of the feminists, if you didn’t know) was arrested and charged with five offenses against a 13-year-old girl, wherein he raped her by use of drugs, sodomy, and perversion.
Matt Hickey, a former freelance tech journalist who railed against the #GamerGate crowd in 2014 plead guilty to “four charges of second-degree rape.”
Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire friend of the liberal elite, is a known pedophile and has been consistent in his pedophiliac endeavors over the years.
Jamie Kilstein, a “male feminist” said in 2014 that “#GamerGate is about sexism, not ethics,” and was forced to leave his post at “Citizen Radio” after multiple sexual misconduct claims.
Christopher Goldberg, a “male feminist” and anti-#GamerGate reporter was convicted for downloading child pornography in order to allegedly, “entertain issues he needed to suppress.”
Jimmy Savile, a BBC contributor for decades, known for his charitable work, committed various levels of sexual abuse against “prepubescent girls and boys” all the way up to adults during his “prolific” career. The BBC seems to be cool with pedophiles in their ranks . . .
Woody Allen, the famous film director and screenplay writer, and a hero of the left’s, has been accused of numerous pedophilia based sexual assault and abuse allegations.
Andy Signore, the creator of “Honest Trailers” was accused of sexual abuse not long after tweeting, back in 2016, “This character in ‘Wreck It Ralph’ is #GamerGate’s worst nightmare,” another male feminist, posturing on the surface while actually abusing women in private.
Bill Clinton, the former President and the husband to feminist extraordinaire Hillary Clinton, has been accused of rape and other sexual violence and misconduct, from Juanita Broaddrick to Kathleen Willey, Clinton has quite the track record – and everyone on the left still kisses the ground he walks on.
Michael Hafford, a former “male feminist” writer for VICE’s sub-site Broadly, has been a serial rapist and woman-beater for multiple years . . .
How Does The Sexual Predator Choose Who to Terrorize?
The answer can be found in looking at Weinstein’s victims did not have, and what I did not have. Some lone voices on Twitter have demanded: Why hasn’t Gwyneth Paltrow spoken up?
Because she was never sized up as prey. She is protected. Globally powerful men surround Paltrow. Her godfather is Stephen Spielberg. Her deceased father was movie director. She dated Brad Pitt. She married and divorced a rock star. The girl has alpha men protecting her back.
And his victims? Ashley Judd. I have read Ashley Judd’s biography. Nary a male in sight to protect her. Not a male with any clout, when she was finding her place as an actress. Likewise, if my father had been a Platinum Donor to the UNC Alumni Fund, those fat cats that fly into the games on private jets, would these Professors have believed it was an acceptable risk to threaten me with harm if I did not have sex with them, and risk their joke, cushy jobs? Not a chance.
Predators have a preternatural sense of the vulnerable. They know when a female has no male to turn to when another male attempts to harm her. If there is no powerful, moneyed alpha male to rain down an ungodly firestorm on their heads, it’s a green light to lunge for whatever they desire.
The dreadful truth is that we have not moved that far from the cave and the campfire. We are still negotiating with Og and his club. And to beat Og, you need a bigger, meaner Og, ready to bash his brains out, or least the resources to pay a cold-eyed proxy (a lawyer these days) to gut him.
Women need powerful men to protect them from other men. For the celebrities who are feigning shock and dismay at this male abuse, they are as believable as an addict rummaging through your bathroom declaring she is looking for aspirin. The idea that this errant male behavior is systemic, and perhaps genetic, is heresy to feminists, the Left, and even people who believe that we live in a world where fairness and civility rule gender relations most days. It doesn’t.
The poor souls who have their faces melted with acid in the meaner parts of the world don’t come from the upper castes. They never have a rich father or a bevy of strong brothers to protect them. In the numerous documentaries I have watched, it is always a lone girl and her mother, trudging to a dusty court with half of her face ruined like a Dali painting, in hopes that someone cares that her life was obliterated by a man who was jealous or pissed off because he was rejected.
Our politically-correctness drenched world does not allow the thought to even bubble: that men are different — as Fitzgerald told us the rich are. Men who have unchecked power, as Weinstein did, will use it to get what they want, and very often, they want sex with young, powerless females. And all the women reporting on sports that they have never played, or a sprinkling of women CEOs in Silicon Valley, or men acting cool with unshaved legs and armpits will not change this. (They actually are not cool with it).
If a woman had an influential, heavy hitting male in her corner, would she have been safe from Weinstein? Would I have been safe? Yes. And yes.
That is why Malia Obama, working her internship at Weinstein’s Miramax, was as clueless and protected as the Queen’s jewels, and why Lauren Sivan was forced to watch Weinsten masturbate over a potted plan and told to shut up, was unequivocally not.

New Year’s Eve personality Kathy Griffin has a message for Donald Trump: she wants to hold his bloody severed head in her hands.
Griffin’s hyperviolent “art” photography holding the simulated Trump head will rightfully put a spotlight on the culture of violence leftists have cultivated in America follow the President’s electoral victory. But it should also serve as a reminder that Griffin is not alone on Hollywood’s female comedy A-list in feeling comfortable using the suffering of non-white people around the world to make money and generate headlines. Too many of Hollywood’s liberal white female comedians see their suffering as joke fodder for new movies, sketches, or stand-up routines.
Griffin’s “beheading” photo plagiarizes an aesthetic popularized by the Islamic State, in which jihadis hold up photos of severed heads and smile into the camera, beaming with their trophies. Toddlers in terrorist training camps start off with dolls or teddy bears before graduating to human heads. The most aggressive jihadi teachers have their children holding up bloody heads before age 10.
These children are taught that beheadings are proper punishment for kuffar (unbelievers) and Muslim traitors who do not adhere to the Islamic State’s version of Sunni Islam. Christians, Jews, Shiite Muslims, and anyone believed to have violated Sharia law, often on video as a threat to the rest of the world. The Islamic State has singled out President Donald Trump for such a fate, but most of its actual victims are not American. They are Syrian, Iraqi, Libyan, Jordanian, Afghan, Pakistani, Nigerian, Bengali, Filipino, and Kurdish of all nationalities – citizens of the countries where ISIS has established a presence.
Whether Griffin meant to elicit laughs with her cultural appropriation of Islamic State-style beheading propaganda remains unclear. On Twitter Tuesday, she alleged she was attempting to “mock” Trump. What she clearly did not intend was to highlight the suffering of the victims of this sort of violence with any dignity, earning this episode a place in the greater narrative affirmed by the likes of Chelsea Handler, Amy Schumer, and Tina Fey that the very real violence people of color face around the world is fertile ground for new material.
Handler, for instance, has notched several offenses against Africans and black Americans under her belt. In a book and subsequent television special, titled Uganda Be Kidding Me, she jokes that she and a friend believed simply being in Africa would lead to her rape. The analysis of Uganda does not go much deeper than that – the modern history of the nation’s fight against the Lord’s Resistance Army and its leader, Joseph Kony, becomes a throwaway rape joke to sell to American audiences (no thanks to the American liberals who raised money off of his name, Uganda gave up its search for Kony in April despite the terrorist’s unknown whereabouts).
During the promotional period for that special, Handler used slavery and rampant violence in eastern Africa to generate joke tweets insulting, among others, Angelina Jolie and Lupita N’yongo. While Handler has dismissed all criticism of her racial invective by claiming to be open to romantic relationships with black men, her tweets branded her a false liberal in the eyes of leftist outlets like Salon.
Actors like Amy Schumer and Tina Fey have, in much more egregious fashion, rewritten the suffering of thousands as profitable comedies. In Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Fey took on the true story of journalist Kim Barker, on assigning in Afghanistan to cover the Taliban. Barker’s book The Taliban Shuffle, on which the film is based, is written with the suffering of the subjects in mind, while also acknowledging the dark humor of taking on as dangerous a job as a war correspondent in Pakistan and Afghanistan. As Barker herself notes in an interview, the film “Hollywoodizes” her story, adding a romantic side plot, and stripping it of the foreign policy depth her book provides (Barker says in the interview she was comfortable with this). As one review observes, the film rapidly gets glib:
A joke about Afghan men thinking that Kim “would make a handsome boy.” A joke about burqas. (Donning one for the first time, Kim exclaims, “It’s so pretty I don’t even want to vote!”) A joke about the many challenges and ironies of a Western woman navigating a Muslim country.
Another review identifies the film as outright racist, depending on “the buffoonery of Afghans” for many of its jokes.
While Whiskey Tango Foxtrot at least boasted the endorsement of the book’s author and, one could argue, was an attempt at a heartfelt statement on the absurdities of war, Amy Schumer’s recent FARC parodySnatched clearly makes no attempt to identify with the hundreds of thousands of victims of South America’s most formidable terrorist organization, the Marxist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – guilty of innumerable kidnappings, rapes, forced abortions, and murders. In the film, Schumer convinces her worrywart mother, played by Goldie Hawn, to travel to Ecuador, where they are soon abducted by a guerrilla and whisked into the jungles of Colombia.
Despite the liberal hero status Schumer brings to the film, critics pilloried it as racist, milking the outrageous stereotypes Colombians have been striving to shake off for the past 30 years for laughs. While Schumer did not write the film, her presence in it – as a comedian who has gone on the record calling Latin American men rapists – only exacerbates the outrage of mocking as delicate a situation as the 50+-year-old FARC conflict. The timing of the film, in the middle of Colombian leftists imposing on their people a peace deal that will turn the FARC into the wealthiest political party in Latin America, didn’t help, either.
In every one of these cases, the stars in question proceeded under the assumption that their status as feminist heroes would shield the American public from the racist opportunism present in their work. Though some leftists did condemn these works, showing ideological consistency, none of these women saw their profiles in Hollywood shrink because of their work. No mainstream director, studio, or artist has refused to work with them until they cease exploiting the suffering of non-white people to line their pockets.
ISIS is the manifestation of the violent left.Obama and Hillary got them started. They ARE beheading people and now they’re laughing about it.
Democrats have more in common with ISIS terrorists then they do the average American.
Nobody hates like a liberal…
I honestly, don’t know what they’re capable of anymore…
Bunch of rabid extremists. If you think they wouldn’t come after you and your family think again. We all remember Bill Aryes.
The most ironic thing about this whole incident is that as soon as the islamists get control of a leftist society, the first heads they start to chop off are the leftists! I’m sure that Kathy Griffin will be one of the first heads to roll when the doo doo hits the fan
Feminists emulating people who oppress Women and Christians.
It makes sense if you understand the COGNITIVE DISSONANCE THAT MAKES UP. THE FEMININE BRAIN. ITS BORDER LINE SOCIOPATHIC.
Are these people sick? Feminists? Nothing feminine about them from what I can see.
The white libtard, especially old white Libtards secretly hate dark people. When I venture to the black and Mexican Parks around here, there’s one person you will not find hanging there with them – yes, that old white libtard.. They stay in whiteyland where they feel safe from the darks. True story.. Shhh.. Don’t tell anyone.. It’s their secret.
Kathy Griffin should partake in another muslim tradition, she should strap a bomb vest on her go out in an open field and blow herself up. Actually she should do it a Hollywood party surrounded by her like minded friends.
Sounds like a Muslim, act like a Muslim. It is an act of treason for someone planning to plot an assassination attempt against our president. Indict her & Hilldabeast.

As the weeks march on in the Donald Trump presidency, the rhetoric of the Left, the Democratic Party, and the Hollywood elites has continued to plumb new depths in crassness and incivility, with far too many in a mad dash to outdo the other in being as outrageous as possible. Those vehemently opposed to Donald Trump are apparently incapable of voicing coherent and compelling criticism. Via the constant drumbeat of insinuation (or at times explicitly), far too many cannot seem to get beyond comparing Trump to the brutal despots of the past century, as well as indiscriminately tossing around Fascism in their disparagement of the conservative movement and all on the right side of the political spectrum.
It has become increasingly a staple of left-wing political bombast to compare one’s adversaries to the primary villains of World War II. Today, about 5% of the U.S. population has any recollection of those years. It has, therefore, become far too easy to demean and diminish the genesis and consequences of that fateful period as the education establishment, dominated by the Left, deliberately avoids teaching the realities of that era. Thus, opening the door for the demagogues to miscast those years for their own ends.
The compulsion to compare, either directly or deviously, one’s political opponent to Fascists, Nazis, Hitler, or Mussolini is indicative of the so-called Progressives’ inability to present a coherent argument in support of their policies. The mindless references to the World War II period (including the 1930’s) are an affront to and a denigration of the memory of nearly 60 million people who died in the War and the countless millions who suffered and were displaced. Far too many on the left side of the political spectrum, who so glibly throw around these comparisons, apparently do not know, or do not care to acknowledge, the socialist underpinning of Nazism and its parent Fascism and do not have the slightest concept of the real-life experiences of those who were there.
For many, their frame of reference for the War is perhaps a grainy, yet impersonal, black and white film of ashen faces staring into a camera; or a faded photograph of emaciated children begging for food; or a newsreel of lifeless bodies strewn across a field. To others, it is sitting in a movie theatre being entertained for two hours watching either a fictionalized Hollywood portrayal of the War or a cartoonish depiction of the villains of that era. These photographic images are quickly forgotten and the celluloid depictions are praised or panned for their entertainment value and box office. But to those of us who lived through those days and the aftermath do not have the luxury of forgetting or being entertained. Our experiences haunt us every hour, day and night.
Therefore, as a displaced war orphan and a wounded survivor of World War II, I must speak out on behalf of those who cannot and say that those who traffic in these invidious comparisons are beneath contempt. This mindlessness is now totally out of control as I was recently accused of being a Fascist because I support a freeze in all immigration from those nations overtly sympathetic to Islamic radicalism.
Conservatism and adherence to the Constitution is not, by any stretch of the imagination, akin to Fascism. Nor is Donald Trump remotely close to being the next Hitler or Stalin or Mao Tse-Tung. Further, the people of this nation will never willingly go down the disastrous path these despots of the Twentieth Century laid out for their countries.
During the primary season, I was not a supporter of Donald Trump; in fact I was a vociferous opponent and openly endorsed and financially supported Ted Cruz. While I applaud much of what he has done to date, I still view Trump with some degree of skepticism and wish he would tone down some of his over the top rhetoric. I acknowledge that he does possess narcissistic and authoritarian tendencies; however, so do nearly all overly-ambitious men and women. As compared to the mindset of his predecessor, Barack Obama, Donald Trump has an affection for this nation and its people. He is not someone bent on domination, destruction or violent transformation of this nation.
Those who are mindlessly opposed to Trump and the conservative movement only demean themselves by making odious comparisons, either directly or by insinuation, to those in the pantheon of the most vile and evil men to ever walk the face of the earth. The various factions of the Left that traffic in this demagoguery succeed only in being complete incoherent fools — not in convincing others of their viewpoints.
It is an admission that the Left knows it cannot compete in the larger arena of ideas. They know the only means they have to accumulate power and win elections is by:
Destroying the opposition through vile personal attacks,
Organizing and pre-planning demonstrations to appear spontaneous,
Orchestrating occasional violence at marches to ensure media coverage,
Utilizing their allies in the mainstream media to propagate false and misleading stories, and
Accelerating the spread of outright socialist anti-American propaganda through their fellow travelers in the education and entertainment establishment.
These are, in fact, some of the same strategies utilized by the despots of recent history in their seizure of power. If there is any group in the United States today that could be truthfully compared to the Fascists, it is the current iteration of the American Left.
Recently a friend of mine in Israel, who as a child survived Auschwitz, passed away. Last year we had a discussion about the worsening crisis in the Middle East and what it portends. Among the points of conversation was the fact that mankind never learns one very important lesson from the past: a significant portion of the human race has an insatiable appetite for power and control and will do literally anything to achieve it. The lessons of the 1930’s and 40’s will be lost in the mists of time if the people and events of those years continue to be diminished by exploiting them for meaningless political fodder and to vanquish one’s political foes as the contemptible Left, including Hollywood, is attempting to do today.

Hollywood and organized religion seem to be in a perpetual game of whack-a-mole. Just when the ire generated by one film has died down, anger from a different denomination flames up for a different studio.

Jennifer Lopez
Jenny, from the block, is a diva on the red carpet and wherever she shows up, everyone notices. But she needs to thank her stylist, because without any makeup, she looks extremely pale and quite different from the artist so many girls want to imitate and boys wanna meet. We share the same star!
Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore was named one of the most beautiful people on Earth by PEOPLE magazine; she even graced the cover. In fact, to prove her beauty they published pictures of her without any makeup. They “only” applied base to cover her imperfections and to add a little color. Ohh, noo!
Alicia Silverstone
After appearing in several music videos with rock band Aerosmith, the cute actress instantly made her way into the dreams of thousand of men everywhere and even won the award for ‘Most Desirable Female’ at the MTV Movie Awards. Well, we’re sorry to turn those dreams into nightmares, but this is how her face looks without makeup. Still one of my favorites!
Jessica Alba
She’s one of the most desired women according to AskMen.com. Yes, Jessica Alba has a spectacular body, and also great fashion taste. But we wonder if they ever saw her with no makeup. For the record, we only recommend light makeup for her. She’s a nice and humble person. That’s all what matters!
Salma Hayek
Yes, that’s Salma Hayek without makeup on a typical beach day. What a difference! It’s a rather drastic change. We hope she doesn’t go out like that again, otherwise many will be disappointed. Not my type!
Cameron Diaz
With no makeup Cameron Diaz shows the world her acne. Also, her blue eyes are less noticeable, her skin color very pale, and her nose looks wider. Oh … the magic of the shades and shadows! Not my kind of girl either!
Eva Mendes
As you can see, Eva Mendes knows how not to abuse herself with makeup, although she loves to look tanned. Mendes’ makeup gives her that bronze glow. Neee!
Halle Berry
Change that little face Halle Berry, because we already saw your natural look and we do see the difference. The sexy actress, also considered one of the most desirable, knows how to take advantage of makeup. I liked her better when she was shy and interoverted, like in “Boomerang”.
Hilary Duff
We know her as the pretty young singer, actress and entrepreneur. Her image, until now, has been radiant. But Hilary Duff’s natural look tells us how miraculous makeup can be. At least we can tell many girls that with well-applied color, many flaws can be covered. Nothing special!
Britney Spears
Britney Spears not only doesn’t have makeup, she’s also pretty untidy. The “Pop Princess” needs to improve her look now! Poor girl!
