‘Reagan’ Biopic Reminds Us Of The Moral Clarity It Took To Defeat The Soviet Union

Published

on

Many Americans aren’t old enough to have adult memories of President Ronald Reagan. Fewer still have a personal understanding of the nature and origins of the Cold War — a great power competition between the free West, led by America, and the Soviet bloc that had both a military and an ideological component. 

Reagan,” starring a comfortably convincing Dennis Quaid in the title role, shines as a biopic and a valuable lesson in evil as an organizing principle. The genius of “Reagan” the film and Reagan the man is that both grasp the elemental nature of evil and the moral courage and clarity required to confront it if there is to be any hope of victory. 

This is especially true today as history did not end with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Rather, history took a nasty turn down the bloody lane of radical Islamic terror, distracting us from a new evil, organized along Nazi lines in its lust for control on a core of racial superiority in the form of the Chinese Communist Party. 

In the film, major players in Reagan’s life are a veritable who’s who of non-leftist Hollywood: Kevin Sorbo as Reagan’s childhood pastor; Robert Davi as Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev (the prosthetic eyebrows must have weighed a pound); Nick Searcy as James Baker; and Jon Voight as old KGB analyst Viktor Petrovich. 

Voight’s Russian character is essential to the telling of the story, and Voight brings everything to the effort. Voight’s analyst sees in Reagan

Trump Becomes First GOP Presidential Candidate To Win Nevada Since 2004

Published

on

President-elect Donald Trump is projected to win Nevada’s six electoral votes, becoming the first GOP presidential candidate to win the state since 2004.

According to The New York Times, preliminary results show the soon-to-be 47th president leading Kamala Harris in the Silver State by 3.3 points, with more than 95 percent of votes tabulated. The projection was made early Saturday morning, days after Trump officially secured the minimum 270 electoral votes necessary to win the White House.

In a statement provided to The Federalist, Chuck Muth, president of the Nevada-based Citizen Outreach Foundation, attributed Trump’s victory in the Silver State to men who “saw a clear and present danger in putting Kamala Harris in the Oval Office.”

“They did what traditional men do when confronted with a serious threat — they showed up and voted for Trump,” Muth said. “Traditional men, with ample support from strong, intelligent women, saved America.”

The Associated Press projected that incumbent Democrat Sen. Jacky Rosen defeated Republican Sam Brown in the Silver State’s Senate race. As of this article’s publication, Rosen leads Brown by 1.4 points, with more than 95 percent of votes tabulated.

While often used to shape public opinion rather than gauge it, polling showed Rosen with a comfortable lead heading into Election Day. According to the RealClearPolitics average, the incumbent Democrat was estimated to defeat her GOP opponent by 4.9 points.

In addition to Trump’s victory, Republicans experienced success in state legislature races.

According to the Las Vegas Sun, the

Stop Crying On The Internet. It’s Embarrassing And Pathetic

Published

on

President-elect Donald Trump’s White House win this week was his first electoral victory in the TikTok era. Liberal tears might have flowed across the internet eight years ago, but that was nothing compared to the flooding that overtook the left’s favorite video platform after Trump triumphed for a second time.

The online teardrops started tumbling even before the former president reclaimed the title earlier this week.

“I hate you, you f-ck-ng orange pumpkin,” said one sobbing woman. “You just cost me one of the most important people in my life, my dad.”

Because only a totally normal and healthy person would post a sob story about disavowing family members over political differences on the internet.

Of course, plenty more tears from random leftists infected with Trump derangement syndrome followed once these individuals’ declared antichrist sailed to re-election. Here are some of the worst clips (or best, depending on the viewer’s perspective) circulating the internet:

Leftists constantly publishing videos of themselves crying on camera isn’t just incredibility cringe, the behavior is conclusive evidence of extreme narcissism, and it happens all the time — even when there’s no election to cry about.

Whether they’re complaining about being “misgendered” or working too hard, TikTok has way too many young people sobbing about their lives openly online as if the world were ending. The tragic reality is that these people are obviously lacking when it comes to forming genuine relationships with others beyond social media followers. The

‘A Real Mess’: Milwaukee Again Delivers An Election Night Debacle

Published

on

Having lived through the shenanigans of the 2020 election, Brian Schimming and Ron Johnson, Wisconsin’s senior senator, weren’t about to take any chances in Milwaukee. 

Schimming, chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, got word that there was a problem with tabulators at Milwaukee’s Central Count on Election Day. It was a big problem. 

As The Federalist reported, the seals on 13 vote tabulation machines appeared to have been tampered with. The doors on the tabulators were not secured. Thankfully, Republican observers noticed the problem and called GOP officials. 

‘Human Error’

Schimming and Johnson arrived at Milwaukee’s Baird Center (a downtown convention hall and site of Central Count operations) at around 7 p.m. on Tuesday and were confronted by a mob of reporters and cameras, Schimming told me in an interview. The top Republicans took a tour of the massive, multi-gymnasium-style floor. They were joined by the party’s election integrity team. Milwaukee Election administrator Paula Gutiérrez guided them to the tabulators. 

“Ron had some pointed questions for her. He said, ‘Oh, by the way, is the video available?’” Schimming said. Video surveillance of the machines and the Central Count operations is required, and, yes, the video must be made available for public inspection. “It got a little chippy. [Gutiérrez] did not appear to be happy there. I wasn’t going to lose any sleep over that.”

Gutiérrez, who replaced controversial Milwaukee elections chief Claire Woodall-Vogg after she was fired in May, told the press that it was all a matter of
