Nolte: Taylor Swift Humiliates Hollywood Again — Trounces Leo’s ‘Flower Moon’
John Nolte — 21 Oct 2023
*** begin quote ***
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour was produced by … Taylor Swift and her team. It was also distributed by … Taylor Swift and her team. Swift Inc. froze Hollywood out and went straight to the theater chains. The result has been a box office triumph. In its first weekend, The Eras Tour grossed $93 million domestic and $124 million worldwide. After only three days, Swift already had the highest-grossing concert film in history. Moreover, she enjoyed the second biggest October opening weekend ever. Only Joker (2019) topped her, and…
Hollywood had nothing to do with any of it.
Hollywood did not make one penny off of it.
And…
This so terrifies Hollywood that Hollywood’s palace guards at the far-left Hollywood Reporter spent 1,500 words last week spinning Swift’s box office triumph into a mistake. And what was the mistake? She didn’t distribute The Eras Tour through the same studios that advertise at the far-left Hollywood Reporter.

Hamas Massacres: The New Face of Gun Control
By Hank Vanderbeek
*** begin quote ***
Blizovsky told the Times he believes the atrocities committed by Hamas could have been avoided if more Israeli civilians had firearms.
Never ever give up your guns, because the minute you do you become a helpless victim. You never know when something like an inhumane attack on the homeland will happen. We have open borders through which illegal immigrants pour in from the entire world. We are not just talking about refugees from Central America and Mexico. Deranged Middle Easterners are entering unfettered. What are their plans? Entire terror cells could be walking across the borders.
Don’t believe someone who tells you to give up your guns to make society safe. The Second Amendment allows us to keep and bears arms to keep us safe, not to take our arms to keep us safe.
In the end, Stern said the Israeli government’s restriction on civilian firearms ownership cost hundreds of civilian lives. That grave injustice should never be forgotten.

Sorry, but the Gooferment is the “gang that can’t shoot straight” and can’t protect its citizens. The police come after the fact and draw chalk lines around the dead victims.

ECONOMICS: Companies shouldnt’t change the Customer’s experience without very careful consideration
Delta Air Lines backtracks changes to its SkyMiles program after customer revolt
By Associated Press
Published Oct. 18, 2023, 6:36 p.m. ET

Henry Harteveldt, a travel analyst at Atmosphere Research Group, said some SkyMiles members will still be unhappy about Delta moving to an entirely spending-based program, and will view even the reduced requirements as too rich.
“I don’t think these concessions are going to go far enough to placate the disgruntled Medallions,” he said. “Given the mercenary mindset that many travelers have, they will fly other airlines and not look back.”
Less than two weeks after Delta announced the SkyMiles overhaul, Bastian announced that the Atlanta-based airline was taking another look at the matter. He said Delta “probably went too far” with the proposed changes.

POLITICAL: Universities should be silently neutral in all debates
https://mailchi.mp/tomwoods/universitiesandissues?e=39307912ab
FROM TOM WOODS EMAIL NEWSLETTER
*** begin quote ***
It so happens that the University of Chicago adopted precisely the correct position all the way back in 1967, in what became known as the Kalven Report.
The answer: the university itself remains neutral, but the professors themselves are free to do and say as they like.
The university, the statement said, had “a great and unique role to play in fostering the development of social and political values in a society,” but that role is one “for the long term.” Day-to-day debates were not matters for solemn and official statements by the university per se.”
“There is no mechanism by which it can reach a collective position without inhibiting that full freedom of dissent on which it thrives. It cannot insist that all of its members favor a given view of social policy; if it takes collective action, therefore, it does so at the price of censuring any minority who do not agree with the view adopted.”
It is the professors themselves who are to carry out the debate. The university is “the home and sponsor of critics; it is not itself the critic.”
This, it seems to me, is the correct approach. No more writing to express your outrage that University X hasn’t yet issued a statement on Issue Y. Its opinion on Issue Y is moronic and worthless anyway. These “statements” by university presidents are better left unwritten. I promise you, dear reader, the world will be a better place without them.

Certainly seems like a good policy for ALL corporations too.

I was sending the information to my nephew via text, and I noticed the pin number was already scratched off. They gave me my money back. But I was told by the manager that what is happening is someone is taking a picture of the card number & pin, and when WE buy the card and activate it, the scammers are able to retrieve the gift card funds.

It’s The Border, Stupid!
By Brian C. Joondeph
*** begin quote ***
As the 2024 presidential election nears with the world on the brink of, or already in, World War Three, America must make a serious choice in 13 months. Will America course correctly or slide into bankruptcy and irrelevancy on the world stage? Perhaps the feckless Republicans need a rallying cry.
Bill Clinton had one when he ran against ruling class scion George HW Bush. “It’s the economy stupid” was a phrase James Carville coined in 1992 when he was advising Bill Clinton in his successful run for the White House.
In 2023, it’s the economy again, but not only the economy. Our national debt is over $33 trillion, growing by $5 billion a day, with interest payments costing taxpayers almost $2 billion each day. Much of it is or was going to one of the most corrupt countries in the world, holding no vital US interest, or spent on the nonsensical “Green New Deal,” while most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

HISTORICAL: ‘if you save one life you save the world’
BRIAN VINER: In a week of horror, the hero who saved hundreds of Jewish children is the best of humanity
By Brian Viner
Published: 20:18 EDT, 13 October 2023 | Updated: 20:30 EDT, 13 October 2023
*** begin quote ***
The European premiere of One Life at the London Film Festival this week felt remarkably timely.
James Hawes’s drama is about the best of humanity, which arrives as we continue to digest news about the worst of humanity.
More specifically, in a week in which hundreds of Jewish children have been massacred, here is a tale about hundreds of Jewish children being saved, thanks to the tireless efforts of numerous people, but above all a London stockbroker called Nicholas Winton, played in old age by Sir Anthony Hopkins and as a young man by Johnny Flynn.
The film’s title is lifted from an old Hebrew proverb which suggests that ‘if you save one life you save the world’.
Its narrative flits back and forth between the late 1930s and the late 1980s. In 1938 and 1939, we see Winton spearheading British attempts to extract children from the Czech capital Prague ahead of a German invasion that everyone knew was imminent.
*** end quote ***
There are a number of people who stepped up at tremendous personal cost to save Jews from the Nazis prior to and during WW2.
The comparison between this week’s murders by Hamas and the actions of the Nazis makes the Nazis look “better”. The Nazis kept their actions secret because they knew that they were wrong. By comparison, the Hamas terrorists claim that they are doing Allah’s work without shame.
Now let’s compare all the folks before, during, and after WW2 who were willfully ignorant or down right obstructive of saving their fellow humans to the people today who are doing something similar.
IMHO, there is NO possible excuse for what Hamas did to all these victims. Especially the babies and children.
While I have very little power and influence, I pray for their safety and well-being and have no difficulty expression my revulsion for Hamas sympathizers.

She was lucky at the time to have “good benefits” from her job. But she had to “tin cup” the family to to pay the bill initially. AND everyone in the family looked over the bill. They even asked me what I was given to eat because it was separately charged. Laugh! Then, Mom’s insurance paid 95% of the bill and she was stuck for the balance. Of course, she paid everyone back from the 95%, and she scrimped to cover the difference. The point of the story was that the consumer has to have skin in the game to prevent fraud and abuse.

Although the CDC has reviewed the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports of inflammatory heart conditions in order to meet with advisors about updates to the product, the agency refused to share the data with members of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which met on Sept. 12, 2023 to discuss Covid booster recommendations.

The Seven Dirty Secrets of Solar Energy
By Lorraine Miles

Secret number seven involves energy security: the protection of a nation’s citizens depends upon a secure and permanent domestic energy supply. Once again, Germany is the example. By decommissioning all its nuclear plants with no backup plan in sight, it trapped itself. Almost immediately, starved for electricity, it built a pipeline to — of all nations — Russia. And Putin, seeing that he had Germany under his thumb (and enjoying his war chest being filled daily with millions of Euros from Germany), invaded Ukraine. Was this a cause-and-effect event, a total surprise? Hardly, at least for a number of geopolitical critics at the time. But Germany’s leadership was apparently blind.
