It’s that time of year again when the movie industry heaps tons of praise on itself via award shows. Here is my take on what I’ve seen lately:
Uncharted
Uncharted, starring Mark Wahlberg and Tom Holland is an ultra-light “Indiana Jones meets Pirates of the Caribbean.” Unfortunately, there’s not enough here to merit your attention unless you’re watching with your 12 to 16 year-old son.
6 Minutes to Midnight
Minutes to Midnight, starring Eddie Izzard and the normally reliable Judi Dench has a decent enough plot: 20 German girls, all daughters of German officers or dignitaries are students at a finishing school in England. In the late summer of 1939, they become potential political pawns as Hitler’s designs on Poland become clear to the world.

The Fabelmans
The Fabelmans, with Michelle Williams, Gabriel LaBelle, and a personal best by Paul Dano, is an overly long semi-biographical depiction of Steven Spielberg’s upbringing and artistic origins. It’s fine in some spots, tedious in others. The overall question is, if it wasn’t about Spielberg would you watch for two and a half hours? Would any anybody care? Possibly.
The Banshees Of Inisherin
Reuniting Irish actors Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges), this flick is a reasonably fine character study, one-third of the way. Then it enters the theater of the absurd, with a warped plot and premise like you might encounter in a John Irving novel made into a movie. Mixing the ridiculous with the horrible, this flick is not worth watching. Nevermind the rave reviews that it’s receiving worldwide, you don’t want to see this and you don’t need to see this.

Guinness World Record for U.S. Presidential Lies

In its non-stop attempt to portray Donald Trump as the most despicable person ever, the Left slanders him daily in ways unprecedented in American history. If Trump makes an exaggeration, which he is prone to do, he’s called a liar. In office, when Trump achieved anything of note, the Left cherry-picked minor aspects that could be criticized and elevated beyond their stature.

Those on the Right recognize the deeper, universal truths that Trump espouses. Hence, they attend his rallies by the tens of thousands. Hardly anyone is eager to attend a Joe Biden rally. Why?
All Built on Lies
Joe Biden, beyond his word salad bumbling, is an incredible liar, covering for Barack Obama, his master. Virtually everything that Biden and his press secretary say is a lie. Unsurprisingly, public confidence in the presidency and today’s sycophant journalism is at an all-time low.
His agency heads consistently lie: Merrick Garland, Alejandro Mayorkas, Christopher Wray, Pete Buttigieg, and Antony Blinken, among many others. Take your pick.
The precedent for the Biden Administration’s lies is the administration of Barack Obama, for whom Biden served as vice president. Obama taught Biden the best of lying techniques.
To Lie and To Swerve
Lies are sometimes necessary, but some are gross manipulations of reality. A brief look at presidential lies since 1968 puts Obama’s lies in context.
LBJ said that none of our boys would die in foreign soil, and 54,000 Americans died in Vietnam. Nixon made many statements, most memorably, “I’m not a crook,” yet he sought to steal the private records of enemies and was exposed by the Watergate scandal.
George Bush senior said, “Read my lips, no new taxes.” Then in office, he raised taxes which, rolling over in his grave, he likely regrets. Bill Clinton told so many lies, you’d need a book to catalog them all. Among his most famous is “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”
George W. Bush, faultily advised, made concerning statements about Iraq. Barack Obama, Joe Biden’s handler, said he’d have the most transparent administration in history. Alas, his was the most secretive: spying on enemies, journalists, political opponents, and everyday American citizens.
The Grand Wizard of Big Lies
Obama touted that he’d restore trust in government. Instead, he opened the doors to the opposite. Obama said the stimulus will fund shovel-ready jobs. It did not. He said, “I am focused like a laser on creating jobs.” The jobs he created were low-wage and low-level. Obama told hardworking entrepreneurs, “You didn’t build that,” which offended business owners everywhere.
Obama weaponized federal agencies to persecute and prosecute Conservatives, so it was hardly a transparent administration. He insisted the IRS was not targeting anyone, but under his henchwoman, Lois Learner, the IRS targeted the Tea Party and Conservatives in general. Lerner’s department harassed, intimidated, and fined them, and diminished their impact on voters in the 2012 election.
Obama proclaimed that a spontaneous riot based on a movie sparked the attack on the Benghazi consulate, which he knew was completely untrue. The attack was well coordinated and planned in advance.
No Stopping Him
Obama announced that the public will have five days to review every bill which lands on his desk. Then, he hustled through some of the most expensive boondoggles in U.S. history. With the introduction of Obamacare, Obama said that you can keep your family doctor and that premiums will be lowered by $2,500. This was utterly false.
Obama stated that whistleblowers would be protected in his administration. Then, he offered no protection. Obama said we’ll get back every dime we use to rescue the banks and auto companies, with interest. This did not happen.
He emphasized that, if elected, he would end the war in Iraq and Afghanistan within nine months. He did not. He claimed he would close Guantanamo within six months. It did not happen. He claimed ignorance about the “fast and furious” gun-running scheme to arm Mexican drug cartels. He knew. Obama proclaimed that he would bridge the gap between black and white Americans. Actually, he increased it in ways that set racial relations back 50 years.
The Biggest Lie of All
The biggest lie that Obama ever uttered occurred on January 20th, 2009, when he said, “I, Barack Hussein Obama, pledge to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.” Twelve years later, Biden did the same.
