December 4, 2024
Disney’s new retelling of Snow White is set to release in March of 2025. The family-friendly movie has been fraught with reshoots and a ballooning budget. Some of this is because real actors were jettisoned for CG (computer generated) ones. Today, we got a full look at these dwarvish creations and it’s the stuff of nightmares. Check them out. The Seven Dwarfs in the live-action ‘SNOW WHITE’ remake. pic.twitter.com/Cvkvs5JaP6 — DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) December 3, 2024 The movie has been touted as a live-action retelling of the classic animated film. But, the live-action got replaced with CG ‘dwarfs’ when actor Peter Dinklage complained that the casting was ‘backwards’ and exploited little people.

‘A Press Release Is Not A Pardon’: Judge Shreds Biden’s Hunter Move, Calls President A Liar
December 4, 2024
Trump-appointed Judge Mark C. Scarsi ripped into President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden on Tuesday in a filing, saying that while the president has broad authority, he cannot “rewrite history.” Biden released a statement Sunday evening announcing his pardon of Hunter Biden’s cases, claiming that any “reasonable” person reviewing the facts in the case would conclude that his son was being targeted because of his connection to the president. In a filing on Tuesday evening, Scarsi, who presided over Hunter’s federal tax case in California, criticized the president for misrepresenting the facts in his statement. (RELATED: Fmr Obama Aide Slams Biden As ‘A Tragic Figure,’ Says His Ego Keeps Getting ‘In The Way’) “According to the President, ‘[n]o reasonable person who looks at the facts of [Mr. Biden’s] cases can reach any other conclusion than [Mr. Biden] was singled out only because he is [the President’s] son.’ But two federal judges expressly rejected Mr. Biden’s arguments that the Government prosecuted Mr. Biden because of his familial relation to the President,” Scarsi wrote.

CBS News Hack Norah O’Donnell Smears Pete Hegseth: ‘Nomination is in Serious Jeopardy’ (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit
December 4, 2024
Norah O’Donnell of CBS News is the latest legacy media hack to try to smear Trump DoD pick Pete Hegseth with ridiculous allegations. NBC News has been doing the same. If this sounds familiar, it’s because it is. This is the same playbook that Democrats and the media used against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings. They think nothing of dragging people through the mud and ruining lives in the process. They simply don’t want the changes that the American people voted for and they’ll do or say anything to prevent Trump from having the team he wants. Partial transcript by Curtis Houck on Twitter/X: “We begin with new reporting by CBS News. The highest priority of the president of the United States is the safety and security of the American people. As the commander-in-chief, presidents rely on their defense secretaries to help carry out that solemn task. President-Elect Donald Trump wanted a Fox News weekend host to hold that post. The 44-year-old combat veteran, Pete Hegseth. Tonight, that nomination appears to be on the rocks. Hegseth is facing new allegations of sexual misconduct and excessive drinking. Tonight, CBS News has… Read the full article here […]

The First Critical Biography of Led Zeppelin Finally Available on the Kindle – PJ Media
December 4, 2024
Jimmy sat in his darkened suite as Neal Preston, the tour photographer, clicked through tray after tray of Zeppelin concert slides. Jimmy was looking for a certain picture of himself, but every time a new slide of him came up, Jimmy would be dissatisfied, pointing out some flaw in his physique—“Belly! Crow’s feet!”—that the camera had captured. Finally Jimmy was asked what exactly he wanted. Without missing a beat, Jimmy Page answered what he was looking for: “Power, mystery, and the hammer of the Gods.” —From Stephen Davis’ 1985 history of Led Zeppelin, and the source of its title. Watching the Balloon Go Up ‎ In 1968, life was changing rapidly for former top London session guitarist Jimmy Page, who was just 24. Just two years prior, he became burned out from the mechanical repetition of session work and took a flyer to join his buddy Jeff Beck in the Yardbirds when their bassist quit. Page first subbed on the bass, then had a brief stint with Beck on dueling lead guitars for a few months. Frustrated by the nightly onstage competition with Page, Beck eventually quit the group to pursue a solo career. The Yardbirds would soldier on… Read the full article here […]

December 4, 2024
On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN NewsNight,” host Abby Phillip openly wondered what President Joe Biden is doing since “he’s still the President right now. And there’s a lot going on in the world” and yet Biden seems to be absent. While discussing the many crises around the world, Phillip stated, [relevant remarks begin around 31:20] “[C]an I ask a question? Where is President Biden?” CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Bush official Scott Jennings responded, “Great question.” She added, “I know, like, physically, he is on the continent of Africa. But where is he? And let me just play, he was asked about South Korea today by reporters while he was traveling. This is what he said.” She then played video of Biden responding to a question on South Korea by stating, “I’m just getting briefed on it.” Later in the segment, Phillip said that “It’s not unusual…for the lame-duck presidents, they have to kind of play that game. But he’s still the President right now. And there’s a lot going on in the world.” She further stated that “it has been so notable that the President has not been out front, speaking to the American… Read the full article here […]
Longtime CNN Host Calls On Biden To Pardon Trump
December 4, 2024
NewsNation host Chris Cuomo and ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith made a bold suggestion Monday night. The two iconic personalities urged President Joe Biden to pardon his political rival, President-elect Donald Trump. The suggestion, which aired during Cuomo’s show, came in the wake of Biden’s controversial pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, a decision that has ignited widespread debate. “You know what else Biden should do? And I know people are going to get upset about this, but just think about it before you go crazy on me,” Cuomo said. “If I were he, I would pardon Trump.” Smith, known for his fiery takes on sports but no stranger to political commentary, quickly backed Cuomo’s proposition. “Honestly, as crazy as this sounds, Chris, that’s exactly what I would do. Enough’s enough,” Smith said. “You’re the Democrats, you lost the election, you got your butt whipped… It’s time to move forward,” he said. The ESPN analyst drew comparisons to historical moments of political reconciliation, such as Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon after Watergate and Al Gore’s decision not to prolong the legal battle over the 2000 presidential… […]
Daystar Christian television network embroiled in major scandal over alleged sexual abuse of founder’s grandchild
December 4, 2024
Evangelical Christian television network Daystar is currently embroiled in a scandal of the nastiest kind: the alleged sexual abuse of a child and the attempt to cover it up. Founded by the late Marcus Lamb, Daystar is a family-run organization. Following Lamb’s tragic death in 2021, his widow and the co-founder of Daystar, Joni Lamb, assumed the role of president. Her son, Jonathan Lamb, served as the vice president up until recently when he was fired for failing to meet performance standards and refusing to participate in remedial protocols. Since Jonathan’s termination, allegations from the past have resurfaced. Jonathan and his wife, Suzy, are now claiming that Marcus and Joni buried the sexual abuse of their daughter back in 2021. Joni claims that this is a blackmail campaign by Jonathan against her and her late husband for leadership changes at Daystar that barred Jonathan from serving in the role of president. So who’s lying? Did Marcus and Joni really try to cover up the sexual abuse of their granddaughter to protect Daystar’s image? Or is Jonathan Lamb attempting to blackmail his parents for barring him from the role of Daystar president and then… Read the full article here […]

Visualizing Global Rare Earth Metals Production Over The Past 30 Years
December 4, 2024
Rare earth metals are a set of 17 chemically similar elements which are integral for modern technologies. From neodymium, used in powerful magnets that can withstand extreme temperatures, to beryllium, which is used to manufacture lightweight materials for fighter jets, these elements have a variety of crucial technological uses. While rare earth metals are not particularly rare, they are seldom found in pure form and are often mixed with other minerals, making them costly to mine. This graphic, via Visual Capitalist’s Kayla Zhu, visualizes rare earth metals production (in kilotonnes) of the eight leading countries from 1995 to 2023, using figures from the Energy Institute’s Statistical Review of World Energy 2024 report. China Is Dominating Rare Earth Metals Production Global rare earth metals production has surged the past three decades, increasing from 75.7 kilotonnes in 1995 to over 350 kilotonnes in 2023, reflecting growing demand for these metals in high-tech applications.
