  1. https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/clooney-trump-lawsuit-20240309.php President Donald Trump has skewered George Clooney’s acting career once again after the star critiqued his administration’s treatment of journalists. Clooney called out the Trump administration’s lawsuits against ABC and CBS News’ “60 Minutes” during an appearance on the program over the weekend. The ABC lawsuit was provoked by an anchor inaccurately stating that Trump was liable for rape, and was settled in December for $15 million, while the CBS suit is ongoing and based off Trump’s allegations that the program misled voters ahead of the election. “When the other three estates fail, when the judiciary and the executive and the legislative branches fail us, the fourth estate has to succeed,” Clooney said while promoting the Broadway production of his 2005 film “Good Night, and Good Luck,” in which he plays a CBS broadcast journalist. “We’re seeing this idea of using government to scare or fine or use corporations — to make journalists smaller. “Governments don’t like the freedom of the press. They never have,” he continued. “And that goes for whether you are a conservative or a liberal or whatever side you’re on. They don’t like the press.” Trump wasted no time clapping back at Clooney, taking to his social media platform Truth Social to complain about the episode. “Why would the now highly discredited 60 Minutes be doing a total ‘puff piece’ on George Clooney, a second rate movie ‘star,’ and failed political pundit,” he wrote. “He fought hard for Sleepy Joe’s election and then, right after the Debate, dumped him like a dog. Later, I assume under orders from the Obama camp, pushed all out for ‘Kamala,’ only to soon realize that was not going to work out too well.” “Clooney should get out of politics and go back to television,” he wrote. “Movies never really worked for him!!!”
  2. https://www.foxnews.com/media/kamala-harris-says-i-told-you-so-while-slamming-president-trumps-second-term-latest-public-appearance Former Vice President Kamala Harris had her "I told ya so" moment at a speech in California Thursday. We're seeing people stay quiet. We are seeing organizations stay quiet. We are seeing those who are capitulating to clearly unconstitutional threats. And these are the things we are witnessing. Each day in the last few months in our country. And it understandably creates a great sense of fear. Because you know there were many things we knew would happen," Harris said at the Leading Women Defined Summit in Dana Point, California. "I’m not here to say I told you so," Harris said, breaking into laughter with the audience. "I swear, I wasn’t going to say that." Harris’ comments were the first time she took a victory lap of sorts after her crushing defeat in the presidential election. Several of Trump's initiatives are tied up in the courts and stocks plunged this week as his tariffs rocked global markets.
  3. Good. Bring back Chris Matthews to reclaim his 7pm timeslot. Knows his politics. Solid commentary. MSNBC pushed him out for Reid.
  4. https://deadline.com/2025/02/richard-gere-donald-trump-goya-awards-speech-1236283411/ Accepting a lifetime achievement honor at Spain’s Goya Awards this weekend, Richard Gere had some choice words about the state of things in the U.S. amid Donald Trump‘s second term in office. “We’re in a very dark place in America where we have a bully and a thug who’s the President of the United States,” the actor and producer said from the stage inside Granada’s Palacio de Congresos. He’d begun his acknowledgements expressing gratitude for being a part of the “world of telling stories” and recognizing the “thousands of people it takes to make a movie.” The Officer and a Gentleman, Pretty Woman and Chicago star then continued, “We’re all part of a universe of overlapping pain and sadness and joy and expectations and dreams and hopes and visions. And I see this world that we’re in now forgetting that, and this kind of very foolish tribalism is starting to take us over, where we think we’re all separate from each other, and we have unfortunately elected officials that don’t inspire us in the way we want to be inspired.”

  9. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-rips-mental-midget-robert-de-niro-he-has-become-a-total-loser/ar-AA1kZzg5 Former President Donald Trump raged against Robert De Niro after the Oscar-winning actor used an award speech last month to bash the Republican presidential front-runner. On Sunday evening, the 77-year-old Trump mocked the 80-year-old thespian, “whose acting talents have greatly diminished,” for using “a teleprompter for his foul and disgusting language, so disrespectful to our Country. “He has become unwatchable,” the former president added on Truth Social, adding that De Niro “should focus on his life, which is a mess, rather than the lives of others. He has become a total loser, as the World watches, waits, and laughs!” Trump then went back for more Monday morning, writing: “Robert De Niro is a ‘mental midget’ whose mind is shot, and whose life is a total train wreck. Very much like Crooked Joe Biden, he can’t put two sentences together. The good news is that this crude and very stupid ‘animal’ has lost all credibility!” Robert De Niro called Donald Trump a “wannabe dictator.” De Niro, who won Academy Awards for his roles in “The Godfather Part II” and “Raging Bull,” tore into Trump at the Nov. 27 Gotham Awards after accusing organizers of editing his speech to cut out remarks trashing the 45th president. “The beginning of my speech was edited, cut out, I didn’t know about it. And I want to read it,” De Niro said before pulling out his phone and reading his remarks as prepared for delivery. “History isn’t history anymore,” De Niro complained. “Truth is not truth. Even facts are being replaced by alternative facts and driven by conspiracy theories and ugliness.”

    Trump rips Bill Barr

    Former President Trump lashed out Sunday at his former attorney general, Bill Barr, who had criticized Trump’s verbal skills in a public forum Friday. In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump suggested Barr was trying to “get even” with him for being tough on him while in office. “I called Bill Barr Dumb, Weak, Slow Moving, Lethargic, Gutless, and Lazy, a RINO WHO COULDN’T DO THE JOB,” he wrote, using the term meaning “Republican in Name Only.” “He just didn’t want to be Impeached, which the Radical Left Lunatics were preparing to do.” “I was tough on him in the White House, for good reason, so now this Moron says about me, to get even, ‘his verbal skills are limited,’” the former president continued. “Well, that’s one I haven’t heard before. Tell that to the biggest political crowds in the history of politics, by far. Bill Barr is a LOSER!” Barr, who resigned in late 2020 after Trump refused to concede the election, had knocked the former president’s “verbal skills” at an event at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics.

    Your Halloween Movie rankings

    Original Series 1. Halloween 4 (1988) My personal fav. Most entertaining from start to finish. Highest rewatch factor. Fast paced action that has best scares and kills. Michael's hunt for Jamie and Rachel was intense and relentless. It's the Roadhouse to Dirty Dancing and Ghost. Not the best movie but the most fun to watch. 2. Halloween (1978) Legendary. Great horror movie. One of a kind. 3. Halloween 2 (1981) Good sequel. Kept the continuity of orginal. 4. Halloween 5 (1989) Dropoff from 4. Still better than next three installments. 5. H20 (1998) Laurie's return. First half was too slow. Final 25 minutes saved it with a badass ending. 6. Halloween 6 (1995) It's not horrible. Watchable in parts. Hated the storyline. 7. Halloween Resurrection (2002) Piece of crap. Should've never been made. Ruined the incredible climax of H20. 8. Halloween 3 (1982) No Michael? No Loomis? No Laurie? Fock this movie. I don't consider it a part of the series.

    Trump slams Mitt Romney

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-claims-mitt-romney-begged-to-be-secretary-of-state/ar-AA1iIelW Former President Donald Trump is claiming that Senator Mitt Romney "begged" to join his administration as U.S. secretary of state. Trump endorsed Romney's run as the 2012 GOP nominee for president. However, the pair have had a contentious relationship for most of the time since Trump became the 2016 nominee, often engaging in a war of words that has included a number of personal insults. In a scathing Truth Social post on Monday, Trump lashed out at Romney as "a total loser" and celebrated his recent announcement that he would not seek reelection in 2024. The former president boasted that he had "forced" Romney out of politics. "Mitt Romney, a total loser that only a mother could love, just wrote a book which is, much like him, boring, horrible, and totally predictable," Trump wrote. "I am very proud to be the one who forced this Left Leaning RINO ['Republican in name only'] out of politics." Trump complained that Romney's "crummy book says nothing good about anybody" except for former GOP House speaker and 2012 running mate Paul Ryan, whom the former president also denounced as a "RINO." Romney has not recently authored a book. However, he is quoted extensively in author McKay Coppins' forthcoming biography Romney: A Reckoning. The book features the Utah senator lashing out at the current state of the Republican Party, including strong criticism for Trump. Trump suggested that the book should have mentioned Romney allegedly begging him for a Cabinet position following his surprise 2016 election victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "Does he mention his late night dinner with me at Trump International Hotel when he begged to be Secretary of State, then giving GLOWING COMMENTS about DJT at a follow up News Conference?" wrote Trump. "I didn't give him the job, NOR DID I EVER INTEND TO," he added. "I JUST WANTED TO PROVE A POINT, THAT MITT ROMNEY IS, & ALWAYS HAS BEEN, A LIGHTWEIGHT JOKE!" Newsweek reached out for comment to Romney's office via email on Monday.
  13. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-slams-john-kelly/ Donald Trump on Wednesday kept up his theme of insulting his own former military personnel, this time unloading on John Kelly. Trump has been in the news lately for his attacks on Mark Milley, another retired military officer, but recently Kelly has spoken out to confirm numerous stories shared about Trump's alleged disrespect for the military. Now, Trump is striking back at Kelly. "John Kelly, by far the dumbest of my Military people, just picked up the theme of the Radical Left’s lying about Gold Star Families and Soldiers, in his hatred of me. He was incapable of doing a good job, it was too much for him, and I couldn’t stand the guy, so I fired him like a 'dog,'" Trump said on social media. "He had no heart or respect for people, so I hit him hard—Made no difference to me. He’s already on record defending me all over the place. Nobody loves the Military like I do! Now he finally speaks back by making up fake stories, or confirming the made up stories of the Dems and Radical Left…" Trump went on to say of Kelly: "He’s a Lowlife with a very small brain and a very big mouth. Interestingly, before firing him, his wife, who suffered a lot, told me he would never speak badly about 'President Trump.' Wrong! Did he totally lie about another Lowlife, Congresswoman Frederica Wilson? Let them fight that one out themselves. Numerous people are angry and upset because they know they will never be in a new Trump Administration, but only for one reason, they’re not nearly good enough. Kelly would be among those at the top of the list!"
  14. https://news.yahoo.com/trump-mocks-hammer-attack-pelosi-005943115.html Former President Donald Trump made heartless comments about the brutal hammer attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, during a bizarre pitch to California voters Friday. Paul Pelosi was violently attacked with a hammer last year during a home break-in by David DePape, and underwent surgery for a fractured skull. “How’s her husband doing?” Trump said, jeeringly, adding, “She’s against having a wall at our border even though she has a wall around her house—which obviously didn’t do a very good job.”
