Terry McAuliffe is in trouble. His campaign has been in free fall ever since he told Virginia parents he doesn't think they should have a say in their kids' education. In the past twenty-four hours, Fox News has released a poll that has Glenn Youngkin, the Republican challenger, up eight points. WaPo released a poll that says education is the #1 issue for voters, and they swung to Youngkin in the past month FORTY-FOUR POINTS. So, the Macker has to resort to dirty tricks--like this photo op that was obviously staged by his campaign.
It starts with a tweet from a local reporter:
These men approached @GlennYoungkin's bus as it pulled up saying what sounded like, “We're all in for Glenn." Here they are standing in front of the bus as his campaign event at Guadalajara started.@NBC29pic.twitter.com/l681ejyBjc

That got amplified by Terry McAuliffe's campaign twenty minutes later:

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer from the movie Rust has had her name in the news. As an armorer, when an actor accidentally shoots someone dead with what was supposed to be a prop, how closely you followed OSHA standards is going to come up. So far, articles have been about her utter inexperience as an armorer and the snazzy dance skills she showed off before deleting her social media. Gutierrez-Reed has broken her silence in the matter. Well, her attorneys broke her silence on her behalf.
Her attorneys issued a statement (via Fox News). Some notes:
"Safety is Hannah's number one priority on set."
That is not clear from the (alleged) incident in her first movie with Nicholas Cage. She's reported to have given an unchecked gun to an eleven-year-old, and Cage flipped out on her when she fired a gun without warning people. I get everyone on Rust is trying to cover their ass. Just saying, though.
"Ultimately this set would never have been compromised if live ammo were not introduced. Hannah has no idea where the live rounds came from."
Understatement of the year.
"Hannah was hired on two positions on this film, which made it extremely difficult to focus on her job as an armorer."
"She fought for training, days to maintain weapons and proper time to prepare for gunfire but ultimately was overruled by production and her department."
We'll find out what's true or not after an investigation. Right now, everyone involved is saying they aren't the one to blame. Everyone by this point has their own attorneys issuing statements about how their clients aren't the ones to blame. At this point, it's anyone's guess who is at fault. Other than Alec Baldwin who a) was the producer and therefore the boss, and b) killed someone.
However, it needs to be reported over and over again. If Hollywood spent less time attacking gun-rights activists and more time taking their safety training classes, a cinematographer would be alive right now.
We here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website know you lead busy lives providing for your families, raising your kids, and otherwise being productive members of society. Some days, you might miss a post or two. It's okay. No one here holds it against you. But there were three this week we feel deserve a second looksie just in case you missed them.
James Kilcer was photographed accepting his award--the highest one for citizens--while wearing a MAGA hat and a "Let's Go Brandon" shirt. He had to look his best for this moment, and what could be better than a "Let's Go Brandon" shirt. That photograph was then posted on the official Yuma County Sheriff's Office Page as part of an official release announcing Kilcer's receiving the award. An award that Kilcer accepted in a "Let's Go Brandon" shirt. Because James Kilcer is a f*cking legend, and that's what legend's do.
If the last guy, or any Republican, said the same to a classroom, the media would have a coronary. Brian Stelter would cry into his breakfast cheesecake. But Joe Biden, while he may not know much, knows that, as a Democrat, he can say whatever he wants about the media. All he has to do is continue to not be Donald Trump and leave the money on the nightstand, and Biden can get away with anything.
Finally, America's Governor Ron DeSantis called on Anthony Fauci to be fired. Not for the pandemic thing. For the torturing puppies thing:
"You can't have mad scientists running around playing God like this. And then come to find out what else is Fauci and NIH doing? They're doing cruel experiments on puppies. What they were doing with those puppies is flat-out disgusting. It's despicable. That needs to stop. I can't believe American tax dollars would go to treat those dogs or be treated. I really think Fauci needs to be held accountable."
It got spooky out in America this week. Between Joe Biden doing Joe Biden things and all reminders from public schools to homeschool your children, the past few days felt like one giant trick. The treat is that now you get to tell us what YOU thought of it all! Take our Friday survey to opine on such vital issues as: "Who ripped Merrick Garland a bigger new one?"
In today's episode of "Find Something Harmless and Destroy It," Native American groups have come together to whine about the "tomahawk chop", a gesture performed by Braves fans in support of the team since 1991. They say it's "dehumanizing", "racist", and a "caricature" that plays into negative stereotypes of Native Americans.
I wonder if the Braves began their games with scalping an opposing player if the Native American community would be more comfortable with it. They would probably have trouble finding volunteers, but maybe they could add kidnapping the player before they do it.
Seriously, though. They are upset about their culture being made into a caricature? What about the Dallas Cowboys? The Notre Dame Fighting Irish? Should Texans and Irish people start raising hell about these? Well, no. You see, these claims only work for people of color… Racism only works one way.
You can have Elizabeth Warren claim status as a Native American for decades to further her career, and after just a harshly worded letter, everyone just seems to forget about it. But God forbid Native Americans are celebrated in the world of sports. We can't have thousands of fans rallying behind a team that's adopted elements of Native American culture. This crap is getting old.
For now, the Braves are sticking to their guns:
"[…] Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred defended the Braves' name and symbol saying the Native American community in the Atlanta region is 'wholly supportive of the Braves program, including the chop. For me, that's the end of the story.'"
But we all know how this will turn out in the end. They'll end up folding like a cheap suit, just like the Washington Redskins. If they manage to fight the woke hordes off—and I hope they do—maybe they'll have laid down a model for other teams to follow.
I wonder what will happen after all sports teams are nothing but animals and mascots based on white culture. Mark my words, if this happens, the sports teams will be called racist for not having any teams representing POCs. It'll happen. Just you wait.
Halloween is the perfect time to release a new horror film, and boy, do we have the perfect film for the season! You're not going to want to miss the release of this twisted thriller.
Over at Louder with Crowder dot com, we know what keeps our viewers up at night: feelings of dread and anxiety over the leftist media narrative. Well, prepare to realize the worst elements of that nightmare in CANDYASS.
Dave Landau stars as CNN's resident super-straight, totally-not-light-in-the-loafers talking potato, Brian Stelter. And he's after only one thing. You! Unless you're a girl. In which case, well, he's not interested. Not even a little.
Don't say his name, or you'll be next! Check out the trailer! That is, if you think you can handle it.
Chief District Court Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee to the District Court in Washington, D.C., is not pleased with the treatment of Jan 6 rioters by the DOJ.
Unlike the judge who was concerned about civil rights violations, Howell is concerned with the rioters getting off too easy. She's definitely been reading every headline about the events of Jan 6 because she finds there's a severe disconnect between the "extreme terms" with which the DOJ describes the event and the plea agreements being made with rioters for second-tier misdemeanors.
Howell says the treatment is "almost schizophrenic". "This is a muddled approach by the government […] I'm trying to make sense of the government's position here."
Howell would probably rather the charges aligned with the rhetoric surrounding Jan 6, but that's not all. It's her position that all participants, even those who never stepped foot into the capitol building, should be considered "enablers of an assault against the republic." What would one expect from an Obama judicial appointee?
For her part, Howell has pressed prosecutors "to consider the broader threat to democracy" those charged with trespassing represent. She sounds like one who has been gulping down the media Kool-Aid. But even with her huffing and puffing, most people charged have been pleaded out, receiving relatively modest fines or probation.
As most of us knew in the beginning, little was done in the way of violence by the rioters, nor was there much in the way of additional crimes committed past trespassing. The rhetoric may be something one might hear from the soapbox of a doomsday prophet on a street corner, but the reality is quite different, and the charges being handed out seem to coincide with the reality, much to the consternation of those like Judge Howell.
