As I’ve mentioned before, there’s a guy in my neighborhood who owns one of the few original “General Lee” cars driven on “The Dukes of Hazzard.” I wondered, this week, if he’ll be allowed to drive it around town, now that we’ve ascribed all kinds of evil to a flag, rather than a sick, murderous evildoer. After all, the car has a Confederate rebel flag on top of the cab. And then I remembered all of those mass murders of Blacks that occurred at the hands of those of us who saw the rebel flag while suffering through Jessica Simpson’s horrible “Dukes” movie (read my review) and those who watched the original “Hazzard” on TV in the ’70s and ’80s (I was not a fan of the show). “Gone With the Wind” features a Confederate flag, too. Should that be cinema non grata, too? Read the rest of this entry »

Host, commentator, and 4-time “Jeopardy” champ Adam Taxin and I made this video/audio about three weeks ago, but it’s so appropriate today, given that it’s Father’s Day. We discussed actress Zoe Saldana’s hubby, Marco Perego, and his decision to change his surname to hers. We also discussed the general chickification of American society and men who take hyphenated last names – what could go wrong? Watch/listen . . . Read the rest of this entry »

Every year I write about Father’s Day, and the great influence my own terrific father, H.L. Schlussel, MD, Of Blessed Memory, had on me. Today would also have been his 78th birthday. Sadly, today is not a day most Americans honestly celebrate dear old dad. After all 364 other days of the year America celebrates “trans-fathers,” the reason we are sinking as a nation. We have trans-gender, trans-racial, and, now, trans-father figures, including soon to be on the $10 bill. Read the rest of this entry »

Tomorrow (Saturday) is the 40th anniversary of the movie, “Jaws.” On June 20, 1975, the scary shark movie debuted in theaters. Normally, I laugh at the silly marking the anniversaries of movies and other pop culture (unless it’s an exceptional, important movie, like “Death Wish”). Pop culture isn’t history and shouldn’t be elevated to it. That said, last year, I heard this very funny (and non-political) interview, below, with star Richard Dreyfuss’ (of whom I’m NOT a fan) uber-lefty kids, Ben and Emily Dreyfuss, regarding the movie and what people say to them.

It’s mediocrity city among the new movie releases in theaters today (I did not see “Dope”): Read the rest of this entry »

To all of my friends and readers who’ve inquired and expressed concern, yes, I’m okay, thank G-d. The bad guys haven’t gotten me yet. But an alignment (or misalignment) of the stars kept me from posting anything this week until today because of a combination of things. Part of the time, I was very sick from working hard and staying up all night to get something I’m working on done. One of the days, I was also in court all day. And I am desperately, hurriedly trying to finish a couple of projects I’m very excited about and which I’ll be announcing soon. It kills me that I was away this long, which I rarely or never am. And I never want to do that again. My movie reviews will go up soon along with one or two other things. Read the rest of this entry »

Though my reviews are late in being posted as I wasn’t able to finish them before the Jewish Sabbath began, you aren’t missing much. The relative highlight–with “relative” being very much the key word here–is the remake/reboot “Jurassic World,” but even that is just okay. Not bad, but not great. Read the rest of this entry »

Apparently, actor Matt Dillon thinks hooking up with HAMAS/ISIS jihadists will revive his acting career . . . or something. While he was once a big deal in Hollywood decades ago, today the 51-year-old is a has-been. He hasn’t done anything in years, and his one decent gig, “Wayward Pines” on FOX, is designated low-ratings summer fare. So, now, Dillon is hanging out with the jihadists from the HAMAS co-conspirator CAIR and decrying the treatment of Muslims. Read the rest of this entry »

You must watch this video below of Taylor Johnson, a heroic and courageous Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent and investigator, testifying before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Wednesday. I am limited in what I can say because I previously represented Taylor in this case. Taylor discovered that Homeland Security’s Citizenship and Immigration Services was rubber stamping citizenship for many aliens from China and Muslim countries without doing adequate background checks. And she was persecuted for doing the investigation, for doing her job. Who was doing the persecuting? Although she doesn’t say so in the video, it was Harry Reid, whose lawyer son represents one of those involved. I’m not disclosing anything confidential by saying so, as this was made public in several reports issued by House and Senate committee investigations and is in the public domain.

As you probably know, the European Union is stepping up the anti-Semitic Arab Muslim boycott of Israel, requiring many products made in Israel to be labeled as produced in “Occupied Palestine.” At the same time, the EU continues–as I’ve reported on this site–to buy Hezbollah products which fund Islamic terrorism. Many of you want to do something to help Israel and Israelis beat this boycott, and I have some details of at least one way. Read the rest of this entry »
