They used to give us good thrillers and scary horrors at the movies for Halloween. No longer. There’s only one new movie at theaters today that I recommend. The rest are absolute dreck.

* “Nightcrawler“: I mostly liked this very creepy, true to life movie, which gives us a fantastic inside look at the agenda and lack of ethics in TV news. In this movie, it’s local TV news, but it definitely translates to the national level, including to FOX News, not just the others. My one reservation is that the movie goes out of its way to make the creepy anti-hero of the movie a Jew–his name is “Lou Bloom,” with an obviously Jewish surname (and he is played by a Jew). Was that really necessary? And on top of that, his loyal, decent, honest sidekick., “Rick”–whom he treats like crap, betrays, and sends to his end–is played by Riz Ahmed, a Pakistani Muslim who looks every bit of it (and who has played “wrongfully accused” Muslim terrorists in several movies, including “The Road to Guantanamo”). Hmmm . . .

The story: Jake Gyllenhaal is Bloom, a creepy, greasy, nerdy, low-rent liar and thief who resorts to scrapping and stealing to survive. One night, as he is driving down the freeway, he comes across police rescuing a woman from a burning car on the shoulder of the road. He sees a cameraman shooting footage, and learns that the cameraman finds out about the accidents from listening to a police scanner. So, he pawns a stolen bike in exchange for camera equipment, and thus, his career of “nightcrawling”–trolling for the “if it bleeds, it leads” footage to make a buck. Read the rest of this entry »

Happy Halloween. Do you know what a teal pumpkin means? Here’s a hint: it doesn’t mean you’re gay. But it does mean you are politically correct . . . as far as the food police and peanutzis are concerned. Apparently, teal is the new black. And the new color signifying we’re even more of a nation of wusses than we were last Halloween. Congrats, America.

This Halloween, Food Allergy Research & Education, a national nonprofit group, is encouraging communities to put teal-painted pumpkins or free printable signs in their front yards to alert trick-or-treaters they have nonfood offerings in addition to candy. “We’re hoping this becomes a tradition for years to come,” said Veronica LaFemina, FARE’s campaign spokeswoman. The Teal Pumpkin Project is not an effort to scrub Halloween of its traditional candy treats but instead an effort to help kids with food allergies, including those at risk of life-threatening anaphylaxis.

Never missing an opportunity to beat a dead horse, Hollywood is bringing you yet another “Rocky” sequel, and, yes, it will feature Sylvester Stallone . . . along with every politically correct minority on the planet. No word on whether or not it will feature a lesbian Islamic terrorist as a fighting opponent, but if not, that’s the only thing missing. Leave it to the far-left Weinstein Brothers, who are putting out this latest Rocky disaster.

When the sixth installment of the Rocky movie series, 2006’s “Rocky Balboa” (read my review), came out, star Stallone promised it would be the last. But he lied. In January, “Creed,” the latest in the Rocky movies, will begin shooting. And the storyline is stupid, featuring almost every politically correct storyline imaginable. The story is that the grandson of Rocky frenemy Apollo Creed (from “Rocky II”), Adonis Creed, is now a fighter. And who is his trainer? Rocky Balboa.

But that isn’t all:

Some of the characters include Adonis’s deaf half-sister, age 10, as well as a potential lady friend for Adonis who is a doctor of Indian descent; a guy named Joe who co-owns Mickey’s gym with Rocky; a former boxer named Pete, and a “Mickey-like” guy named Marcel, who’s Latino and assists with Adonis’s training.

Malala Yousafzai (also spelled Yousufzai), appointed a saint by the mainstream media and the left–all because she’s Muslim–donated $50,000 from her Nobel Peace Prize to HAMAS in Gaza. The money will be used to rebuild HAMAS-run schools where Palestinian Muslims are taught to hate Jews, Christians, and America. The money will be distributed via UNRWA, the UN agency devoted to Palestinian “refugees,” many of the employees of which double as HAMAS terrorists and all of whose schools feature anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, anti-American hate-filled textbooks. Yeah, that’s peace!

I’ve never ever fallen for the baloney surrounding Yousafzai, the Pakistani Muslim girl who’s been using her story to promote Islam around the world non-stop. She’s used her alleged story–that she was trying to get girls to go to school when Taliban terrorists shot her in the head and she survived–to say that, “this is not Islam,” when in fact that’s affirmatively, definitively Islam. And she’s used her story to promote Islam. I’m not surprised at all that she’s giving the money to HAMAS, as she and her extremist Muslim father, Ziauddin Yousafzai (who runs the show), are not new to their anti-Israel, pro-HAMAS views. The October issue of Glamour Magazine (which honored Malala as one of its 2013 Women of the Year) gushed over her and had this quote:

And no part of the world intimidates Malala. While prepping for her speech in Nigeria, she struggled with how to discuss recent fighting in the Middle East. At one point she looked up at her dad and said, “Father, I think we need to go to Gaza.” Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a very long time since I posted a video from “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” because the monologue part of the show and the skits have been lame and unfunny for a while. But, last night, a rare, brilliant, absolutely hilarious exception: the Kimmel show had two actors impersonate left-wing peanutzi (my name for the anti-peanut Nazis) activists, who are circulating a petition to remove the line “Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks” from “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” in order to help their peanut-allergic, non-existent son, Landon. The video has everything: bearded left-wing male activist . . . check, looks-challenged female left-wing activist complete with birth-control goggles . . . check, son with a pretentious name . . . check, BS about “inclusiveness” . . . check, advocating censorship . . . check, wanting everyone to change to cater to their selfishness . . . check, comparing their cause to slavery . . . check, check, check. I especially like this video because it isn’t far-fetched, as I know first-hand, after coming under non-stop, vicious assault from peanutzis after I ridiculed Northwestern University for making its football stadium peanut-free for a day.

Newly released details show Canadian Muslim jihadist Michael Zehaf-Bibeau wasn’t so crazy after all. Just “crazy” like a fox, like a clever jihadist. The same might be said for his parents, who look like they are practicing taqiyyah, the Muslim practice of deceiving the infidels in the name of jihad. They haven’t been too honest about the state of their marriage. They are still together, the Mrs.–a top immigration official–and the Mr.–a Libyan Muslim terrorist “rebel.” And why won’t Canadian authorities release his jihadist death video? Then, there are the questions about the involvement of his mosque in the whole plot, which appears to be a lot more than what mosque leaders would like you to believe.

Last week, I told you I didn’t think Zehaf-Bibeau’s actions were those of mentally ill person, but, rather, those of a cold, calculating Muslim. And, now, with more information coming out about Zehaf-Bibeau, including that he made a video declaring himself a mujahid (a jihadist), it’s looking more and more like I was right. It’s also looking more and more like the suspicions I had about Zehaf-Bibeau’s parents are well-founded.

Canadian authorities won’t release the video Zehaf-Bibeau made. First, they said they wouldn’t release it at all. Now, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commissioner Bob Paulson says he “would like to release the video.” What is on the video? All we know is that the video shows, according to Paulson, that Zehaf-Bibeau was “driven by political and ideological motives.” Um, no sh-t, Sherlock. Let’s see what he says on it. I’ll bet you it doesn’t show a mentally ill man . . . or even one who was slightly crazy. I’ll bet it shows a serious Muslim very committed to Islam and very much sane and in control of what he was doing.

And that goes to Zehaf-Bibeau’s finances. We’ve heard stories that he was a drifter with no money and so on. And, yet, on the Tuesday, October 21, the day before his attacks in Ottawa, he had enough money to purchase a car, a beige vehicle which he used in the course of his attacks.

How does a homeless drifter with no money afford a vehicle? Read the rest of this entry »

You gotta give it to the race merchants for being consistently inconsistent in their grievance theater. They scream “RAAAYYYYCISM!” when Whites use the the word “thug” to describe criminals, Black or White. And now they’re screaming “RAAAAYCISM!” because some White vegan chefs are calling themselves “thugs,” because Blacks say that the White chefs are “appropriating” “their” term. Huh?! Oh, and did I mention that the White chefs are also being accused of racism because they use four-letter words in their cookbook, and apparently swear words are now also the “property” of Black America, too?

It’s ridiculous. But such is the case with the book, “Thug Kitchen.” Over the weekend, I saw the book on the New York Times Best-Seller list and wanted to know what it was–a cookbook or a book about mobsters or something. In doing some research on this I discovered that it’s a cookbook by Michelle Davis and Matt Holloway, a couple of White chefs whose book is subtitled, “Eat Like You Give a F*ck.” They tried to keep their identities a secret, and now that people have discovered they aren’t Black, they’ve been accused of racism for “appropriating” the word “thug” and “swear words,” because apparently this image is the sole property of Blacks, and you dare not infringe, lest you be accused of stealing (kinda like Bo Derek was, when she wore cornrows in the 1979 movie, “10”).

The Root, a Black website, calls Thug Kitchen, “Recipes in Blackface.” Yes, all because they use swear-words and call themselves thugs. Oh, and because they’re White. The site accuses the White chefs of “swagger jacking” and “booty-bump[ing]” Blacks. Cool, two new terms to add to my ghetto appropriation vocabulary (and here’s a tip: Blacks, um, booty-jacked the term “ghetto” from my people–Jews were kept in the original ghettos, mostly not by choice).

And even the non-Black political correctness police are mad that the White authors “created a fake thug persona – vulgar, hyper-masculine, snarky and arrogant” and acted “badass in the kitchen.” Apparently, you are only allowed to do this if you are Black. Got that, White people? Not only can’t you jump, you can’t be “badass,” either.

It started off as a tongue-in-cheek vegan food blog, but “Thug Kitchen”, now a cookbook, has been slammed for negatively stereotyping African-Americans after the public discovered the authors were Caucasian. Read the rest of this entry »

Since I had five movies to review this weekend and a lot of catching up to do after the Jewish holidays, I didn’t finish my reviews in time before the Jewish Sabbath. That said, there’s very little to recommend:

* “John Wick“: This is Keanu Reeves’ latest attempt to get his movie career back on track. Sadly, for him, it fails. At age 50, Reeves looks all of 30. He’s in great shape, looks very good, and makes a terrific action hero. But this action movie, while starting out with intrigue, quickly becomes a silly, stupid mess. It was incredibly violent and bloody for no reason, and it’s hard to root for a former hit man (Reeves).

The story: Reeves is a former hitman for a Russian mob boss. He’s been outta the biz for a while, and his wife just died of a chronic illness. His late wife sent him a cute dog, and he drives a very cool 1969 Mustang Mach 1. The Russian mob boss’ spoiled thug son sees Reeves at a gas station and wants to buy the Mustang, not knowing that Reeves used to work for his father. When Reeves tells him it’s not for sale, the mobster prince and his fellow mobsters break in to Reeves’ house, kill his dog, and steal his car. Read the rest of this entry »

You can write the script about the reaction to Muslim Zale Thompson’s hatchet jihad against New York police. The media is telling us he was deranged, mentally ill, and that his anti-American posts online were “rantings.” But his “mentally ill rantings” are the same as you hear at most American mosques, the same comments Muslim imams make publicly in op-ed pieces, the same as those made by officials of HAMAS CAIR–the largest Muslim organization in America.

THIS. IS. ISLAM. . . .

Some other things investigators found on the Navy vet’s computer, like a picture of him wearing a keffiyeh and a disturbing conversation with a Facebook friend, suggest possible links to terrorism. “He says American needs to be punished, from within, and he talks about Middle East issues,” the source said. “He says American is oppressing people overseas and that its military is too strong.”

Um, how are any of these statements different than those regularly whined from the mouths of Muslim leaders and adherents throughout America? They aren’t. They are exactly the same. And, in fact, they are not “insane” statements. They are the statements of those who are clever and collected and seek to take over America from within through immigration, birthrate, and constant demands, whines, and grievances. (And Thompson quoted from the koran on his Facebook profile. Is that insane, too? If, yes, then all Muslims who believe in the koran must be insane also, right?) If Thompson’s statements about America and the Middle East are “insane” and “mentally ill,” then why does America constantly cower to an entire religious cult that constantly makes these statements and, therefore, by definition must be inherently insane and mentally ill?

Where is Bulgasem Zehaf a/k/a Belgasem Zahef, Libyan jihadist father of Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, and why haven’t we heard from him in a lip service condemnation of his son’s jihad? Did Canadian officials question him about his role in his son’s recent activities or his own ties to Al-Qaeda in Libya? And there are many other questions, which I’ve raised below about this guy, none of them answered.

Yes, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the Islamic terrorist murderer in yesterday’s attacks in Ottawa wasn’t just any old “White convert to Islam.” His father, Bulgasem Zehaf, was a Libyan mujahideen–a Muslim immigrant from Libya to Canada who left North America to return to his native Libya to fight with the Libyan “resistance” which is now Al-Qaeda and basically the Libyan version of ISIS (which was originally Al-Qaeda in Iraq). And it appears that his mother, Susan Bibeau, is yet another zaftig White chick who put her vagina first (I’ve written about so many of them who populate the West and are partly to blame for jihad and its infiltration). While she may not have converted to Islam, she did marry a Muslim who ended up returning to Africa to wage jihad, had sex with him, and bore his son. And she bears responsibility for how that son turned out. And the murder he committed in the name of jihad.

It appears that Zehaf-Bibeau’s behavior–his “reversion” to Islam, his attempts to go to Syria to fight for ISIS, and his attack yesterday, in which he murdered Canadian Cpl. Nathan Cirillo–was an attempt to return to his Arab Muslim roots and be “just like dad.” Born Michael Joseph Hall, I wonder if his mother did anything to educate him about her original religion, Christianity. I doubt it. She cared about her own sexual needs with a Libyan Muslim future jihadist. But I’ll bet she didn’t school him in Western values or Christianity. Islam filled the void, and he was obviously swayed toward Islam in part because it’s the faith of this father, jihadist Bulgasem Zehaf.

If Canada (and America) actually did something to stop Muslim immigration–which they’ll never do–the terrorist’s jihadist dad might still be living in Libya, and there might not be a Zehaf-Bibeau. And I have a question about the dad: we’ve heard the condemnations of yesterday’s attacks from the mom. Um, where is Mr. Zehaf? Where are his lip service condemnations of his son’s behavior? Where is the guy, jihadist wardaddy? And since the son, Michael, had a number of drug convictions and was in and out of court, who paid for Michael’s lawyers? Did his parents help on that front, too? Instead of looking into this and actually doing something to stop Muslim immigration, the Canadian Parliament sang their national anthem, just like Congress and G-d Bless America and the American national anthem. And what did that do? Nothin’. But, don’t worry, some day you’ll all be singing it in Arabic.

Check out this 2011 report on Belgasem from the jihad front:

Rebels succeeded in clearing the city of pro-Gadhafi snipers, some of whom had been holed up in a hospital in the southeastern part of the city. Most of the snipers were believed to be black African mercenaries loyal to the regime. “There is a disaster in Zawiyah. All the buildings have been damaged; residents have been killed in their homes,” said Belgasem Zahef, a Zawiyah native who recently returned to his home in Montreal after spending over a month in detention. He was arrested in Zawiyah where he had gone to fight alongside the rebels. Mr. Zahaf said the main prison in the city was overflowing with inmates who were forced to live in sub-human conditions and routinely tortured by their captors.

Hmmm . . . why didn’t Canadian authorities keep tabs on this guy and his family afterward, once he returned to Canada? His father is a jihadist and then he became one, and you’re telling me there’s no connection? What was the nature of Zehaf-Bibeau’s communication and relationship with Al-Daddy Dearest? And more questions about Zehaf-Bibeau: Read the rest of this entry »
