S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y — tabs …





Ed: Obama miscalculated the moment. Instead of sounding like an eminence grise, he came across like a petty jerk — so much so that even the Protection Racket Media took notice. It comes across even worse with the context of the Biden Regency, which was in truth Obama’s third term, exercised through the ‘politburo’ of Obamaites making the decisions in Joe Biden’s name.

Batya Ungar-Sargon in The Free Press: Some have noted that the deadline for Nobel Peace Prize nominations is January 31, meaning that Trump’s accomplishments were not eligible for consideration. Even if we assume that’s the case, the last American president to win the prize was Barack Obama in 2009, who had barely assumed office before the deadline. And if it was really the deadline that prevented Trump from winning, what will be the prize committee’s excuse when they don’t give it to him next year?

We should take pride as Americans over what our president has accomplished for the world. This is a transformational leader the likes of which we haven’t seen since Franklin Roosevelt.

And in the end, that’s the real prize, not some silly European award. Trump never needed the Nobel. But the jurors have still disgraced themselves by not acknowledging him.

Ed: I wrote about this yesterday, and included the flimsy rationalization for awarding that prize in 2009. Batya and I come to the same conclusion, but it’s very clear that the committee could have considered Trump if they really wanted to do so. The “deadline” is an alibi rather than an explanation.

Ed: Out of a 19-year habit? Because they are fully invested in equating a liberal democracy like Israel with a network of terrorist psychopaths like Hamas (or Hezbollah, for that matter)? Because they hate the Jooos but also don’t really care about Palestinians other than to use them as an effigy for their occupier/occupied framework of history? All of the above?

John Hinderaker at Power Line: School boards aren’t what they used to be. During a school board meeting in Marlboro, New Jersey, liberal board candidates had a group chat titled “This Bitch Needs to Die.” It isn’t clear whether that group formed spontaneously during the meeting, or had been in existence for some time.

In any event, the “bitch” in question was Danielle Bellomo, a conservative member of the school board. …

In writing about the Jay Jones scandal, I commented that I think liberals talk this way among themselves all the time. Jones’s mistake was texting his desire to murder Virginia’s House Speaker and his children to a Republican. Here, too, God only knows what these liberals have been saying among themselves all along. Their conduct became public only because someone took a picture and gave it to a conservative news outlet. I assume a liberal news outlet would have buried the story.





Ed: Exactly. Click the link to take a look at the picture of texts in which Scott Semaya also commented on Bellomo’s nipples. If that sounds like an objectifying comment, just remember that progressives have absolved them of the rules they like to impose on everyone else. This is the latent violence inherent in the progressive system, and of late, the ‘latent’ qualifier can be discarded.  

===

Ed: I’m a journalist too, but if police catch me breaking into someone’s home, that’s not going to get me off the hook. Does WGN know that their “journalist” spends her off time assaulting and battering law enforcement officers? This is yet another example of the violence inherent in the progressive system.

Variety: “It’s kind of shocking to see these kind of accolades for — I’m sorry, it’s not a very good movie — because of its political ideology, and it’s so obvious that’s what they’re responding to,” Ellis said on “The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast” (via MovieMaker) about the critical reaction to Anderson’s latest. “Why it’s considered a masterpiece, the greatest film of the decade, the greatest film ever made [is] because it really aligns with this kind of leftist sensibility.”

Ellis predicted the movie will soon be seen as “a kind of musty relic of the post-Kamala Harris era — that thing everyone gathers around and pretends is so fantastic and so great when it really isn’t, just to make a point… There’s a liberal mustiness to this movie that already feels very dated by October 2025. Very dated. And it just doesn’t read the room. You know, it reads a tiny corner of the room, but it does not read what is going on in America.”





Responding to one film critic who called “One Battle After Another” an “important” movie, Ellise responded: “No, it is not. It has really not read the room. It has not read the room at all about what’s going on in America.”

Ed: This is the exact arc taken by supposed great films like “American Beauty” and especially “The Shape of Water,” both of which were manipulative pieces of dreck that Hollywood celebrated for a hot second and no one will defend now. Both of those films were didactics that consisted of clichés lumped together and handled so clumsily that one might have mistaken both films for a hard-Left struggle session. “One Battle After Another” will end up occupying the same lane, and Ellis will be proven right in the long run … but don’t be surprised if the Academy tries to cover it with a few Oscars first.

The Hollywood Reporter: Jim Caviezel will not return to play Jesus Christ for director Mel Gibson‘s forthcoming follow-ups to the smash hit The Passion of the Christ, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Lionsgate is set to release the two-film project The Resurrection of the Christ theatrically in 2027, with the production aiming to begin soon in Rome. Key roles will be recast for the new movies, as Caviezel will not reprise the titular part of Jesus, while Monica Bellucci also won’t return as Mary Magdalene.

Ed: Understandable, but I am sorry to hear that for both actors. More than two decades have passed since Gibson made the original, and that makes continuity difficult in casting. Gibson could have used “de-aging” CGI/AI to overcome the difference in ages, but it would be (a) expensive and (b) unconvincing. Of course, the film will have its own continuity issues with new actors in those roles too. I wonder if Gibson will be able to get this project off the ground at all. 

===

Ed: Despicable. This man needs Jesus — and some meds. Or maybe just a kick in the butt and 90 days of mop duty under close supervision. I hear Jim Caviezel may be available for both.
