Despite Matt Walsh’s documentary “Am I Racist?” being the number four film at the box office over its opening weekend and outperforming major Hollywood productions, mainstream critics have completely ignored its existence.  Reviewer Jeremy Jahns, who has almost 2 million YouTube subscribers, was accused of being racist and attacked on social media after daring to post his reaction to his channel. “The Left has labeled Jeremy Jahns a racist and a sell out simply for reviewing my film,” Walsh posted to X on Monday.  “This is how they play the game. Viciously denounce anyone who positively acknowledges the existence of the film so that other critics will be too afraid to follow suit.

It’s amazing people valued his opinion at all. Him being a racist and a centrist coward is not surprising in the slightest,” another said. “Confirmed racist,” a third person agreed. “I can’t think for the life of me why Jeremy Jahns would shine a light on a person like Matt Walsh and ‘give him a shake’ except that Jahns got a juicy offer from the Daily Wire in the form of connections or payments or some other form of transaction,” a fourth wrote.  Jahn’s review of “Am I Racist?” on YouTube has more than 400,000 views. He starts off the video saying he intitally thought, “Maybe I should just skip this one,” but ultimately decided to see and review the movie. “The fact that that entered my mind is kind of one of the points this movie makes,” he explained. The critic said he had heard “Am I Racist?” being described as a “Conservative Borat” and decided to watch it because the movie was available in theaters. He said he appreciated Walsh’s method of asking a lot of questions in the film. “Matt Walsh is surprisingly funny,” Jahns added. The reviewer said the movie made him laugh and it made him think, especially during scenes of regular people not living in the bubble who had no idea what Walsh was talking about when he started using terminology that’s common among DEI activists and allies.  “I thought, interesting questions or counter examples worth asking or presenting were presented,” Jahns said. “Are these experts with their workshops and their books really trying to heal the world, make it a better place, or are they perpetuating the problem, keeping it around, because they found something to monetize?” Jahns concluded to say that all in all, he had a “good time and some good laughs” while watching “Am I Racist?” The film currently has a 99% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and no critic’s score. “Am I Racist?” is now playing at theaters nationwide.

Delivering remarks in Georgia on Monday, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) shared details about what he said was the moment former President Donald Trump told his running mate that he had just survived a second assassination attempt. Trump was frustrated that the scare on Sunday — which resulted in Secret Service agents opening fire on a gunman poking a rifle through the fence at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida — disrupted his game, Vance told the audience. .@JDVance shares the moment President Trump told him yesterday that he was nearly assassinated again: "I said 'are you okay' — He said 'I'm a little mad because I was about to make a birdie putt on the 6th hole and they wouldn't let me finish' — That is kind of the guy you… pic.twitter.com/ybh8ZQ7w7O — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) September 16, 2024 Vance said he was at home in Cincinnati with his 7-year-old child when Trump called and said, “JD, you’re not going to believe this, but they tried to do it again.’ And I said, ‘No they didn’t. You’re joshing me. What’s going on here sir?'” Over the phone, Trump explained, “‘No, I was playing golf and the Secret Service found somebody who was trying to shoot me,'” to which Vance said he replied, ‘Oh my lord, sir, I’m so glad you’re okay. I mean, are you doing okay?…'” Trump insisted he was “fine,” per Vance, who then got a laugh from the audience, saying, “This is just who Donald Trump is: He said, ‘I’m a little mad because I was about to make a birdie putt on the 6th hole and they wouldn’t let me finish.'” Vance emphasized how Trump was “pissed off” his birdie putt had been disrupted — just 10 minutes after the Secret Service warded off a threat. The gunman fled, but law enforcement later detained a suspect and he was charged on Monday.

Who is phased by nothing, who is telling jokes afterwards. I think I was without a question bothered by it more than he was.” Vance then declared that he wanted to “take this opportunity to call for a reduction in the ridiculous and inflammatory political rhetoric coming from too many quarters of our politics,” eliciting yet another round of applause from the audience.

Even though life continues to become increasingly expensive, some companies are doing their best to keep prices down. Remember when you could buy a meal for $5? It seems like a lifetime ago, but McDonald’s remembers. The Golden Arches have been running a $5 meal deal special since June, and the company announced that the pricing is here to stay until at least December. The franchise’s Free Fries Friday will also stick around through the end of the year. View this post on Instagram A post shared by McDonald’s (@mcdonalds) Franchisees are Lovin’ It According to CNBC, many McDonald’s franchises have voted to extend their budget-friendly pricing, and 80% of United States markets have opted in. There are more vote extensions happening, so additional markets may continue the promotion. The $5 value meal offers a McDouble or McChicken sandwich, small fries, four-piece Chicken McNuggets, and a small drink. McDonald’s will also continue to offer local promotions, and customers will have access to deals through the mobile app. “Together with our franchisees, we’re committed to keeping our prices as affordable as possible, which is why we’re doubling down with even more ways to save,” McDonald’s U.S. President Joe Erlinger said in a statement obtained by CNBC. McDonald’s shared the deal on Instagram, and fans were so glad to see it. This person is heading to McDonald’s now, “using this as an excuse to get a mcdouble today .” This person loves a deal with sweet tea. “Perfect! Aaaayyeee! I just went to McDonald’s and you guys did give me my sweet tea.” Plenty appreciated McDonald’s giving a bit of relief to their bank accounts. Like this person, “Literally me someone who don’t have money like that, thank you.” And this one. “We absolutely love this deal.

When people think of the term “greatest guitarist of all time,” it often sparks a range of subjective opinions. Many will name legends like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Page, B.B. King, Gilmour, Duane Allman, and Santana, while others might cite more underrated and lesser-known guitarists. Stevie Ray Vaughan, however, is firmly in the former category. His influence and legacy were already cemented in 1983 when he appeared on David Bowie’s hit album Let’s Dance. His ferocious blend of potent blues and emotive Texas swing was groundbreaking in the eighties, primarily because he single-handedly revived blues music and brought it back into The post Top 10 Stevie Ray Vaughan Songs appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

God may have allowed Donald Trump to survive two assassination attempts so that he could be president again, the former president said in an X Space interview on Monday night. “There’s something going on,” said Trump, the Republican nominee for president. “I mean, perhaps it’s God wanting me to be president, to save this country. Nobody knows.” This was Trump’s first public event since a gunman attempted to assassinate him as he golfed Sunday at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. “It was quite something, but it worked out well, and Secret Service did an excellent job, and they have the man behind bars, and hopefully, he’s going to be there for a long time,” Trump said. “Dangerous person, very, very dangerous person.” 1) Trump Thanks Secret Service, Police, Alert Citizen Trump said he was playing golf with some friends on a peaceful Sunday morning when he heard gunfire. “Everything was beautiful, nice place to be, and all of a sudden we heard shots being fired in the air, and I guess probably four or five, and it sounded like bullets,” he said. A Secret Service agent then “did a fantastic job” getting Trump and his friend off the course. Secret Service members fired at the gunman, who has now been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, but he fled in his vehicle. “Amazingly, a civilian in that area saw something, and it looked very suspicious, and in the car, drove their car to the back of his truck of some kind, and took pictures of the license plate, and gave them to the sheriff’s office,” the former president said. Police were able to use a license-plate reader to find the gunman’s plate to pinpoint his location on the highway. “Within a fairly short period of time, they tracked him down on the highways, pretty high-speed chase, and they ended up getting them,” Trump said. “So, the agent did a fantastic job,” he continued. “The civilian did a phenomenal job.” “I would have loved to have sank that last putt, but we decided, let’s get out of here,” Trump joked. 2) Trump Faults Democrats’ Violent Rhetoric for Attacks Trump said Democrats’ “rhetoric” calling him “a threat to democracy” and other epithets likely contributed to the assassination attempts. Both shooters were members of the radical Left, according to Trump. Trump recalled the first assassination attempt on July 13 at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He praised the people at the rally—especially volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore, who was killed—for their bravery that day. “I love the people of this country, people like Corey, who was just this massive Trump fan, and he got hit,” the former president said. “But people like that, they’re in love with the country, and they hate seeing what’s happened to the country.” 3) Trump Warns Against a Harris Presidency “You have 21 million people pouring in from all countries all over the world, from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums,” Trump said. “They’re coming in as terrorists, and they’re coming into our country at levels that nobody’s ever seen,” he continued. “And they’re taking over our towns, and they’re taking over small cities and big cities.” Trump referenced New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, as well as Aurora, Colorado, where Venezuelan gangs have taken over apartment buildings. “The border is in much worse shape than it’s ever been,” he said. “There’s the worst border there’s ever been in any country.” Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her management of the border crisis. “You have Kamala. She was the border czar,” the 45th president said. “I call her the comrade because she’s a Marxist. She wants to tax everybody out of business.” 4) ‘The World is a Nasty Place’ The world is a “nasty place,” Trump said, but he doesn’t view Russia and China as enemies. “I think we’ll get along great with China,” he said. “I think we’ll get along with great with Russia. I want to get Russia to settle up with Ukraine, and stop this. Millions of people being killed, far greater than the number you read about, but I want to get that done. Before I even take office, I want to get that done as president elect, because it has to be solved.” The world would not be on the brink of war if he had remained in office, he said. “There wouldn’t have been an Oct. 7,” he said, referring to Hamas’ invasion of Israel, the massacre of some 1,200 people, and the war that has raged since. “There wouldn’t have been Russia attacking Ukraine. There wouldn’t be inflation, all this inflation, which has hurt people so badly. You wouldn’t have had that horrible type of withdrawal where we were getting out of Afghanistan.” He said President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan three years ago “was the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country,” Trump said. “And frankly, Russia would have never gone into Ukraine if it weren’t for that,” he said. “They looked at that, and they said, this country is no longer run by Trump. This country is run by stupid, stupid people.” He said American military is great, but needs the right leadership. “The bottom line is that it can be nasty, but it’s only going to get worse,” he said. “It’s going to get really bad. We’ll end up being Venezuela on steroids.” Harris’ replacing Biden as the Democratic nominee was an “overthrow of a president,” Trump said. “That literally was a coup,” he said. “The first coup of an American president.” Trump emphasized the urgency of electing him as president in November. “I love the country,” he said. “We’re going to make America great again, and we’ll be able to do it. We did it once, and we’ll do it again, and much easier this time.” The post ‘Maybe God Wants Me to Be President’: 4 Takeaways From Trump’s Remarks on Surviving 2nd Assassination Bid appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Monday's Final Word

Georgia police say a homeless man was arrested for exposing himself to two children and an adult at a children's park in Marietta. A Cobb County arrest warrant says that Matthew Justin Bishop pulled his pants down to expose himself to a 7-year-old, a 9-year-old, and a parent at Victory Park on Sunday just before 5:30 p.m. He also allegedly referred to a female juvenile as "beautiful" while he was partially exposed. 'I’m very disturbed. It’s very alarming to say the least.' The man was charged with child felony molestation, second-degree cruelty to children, and public indecency. Parents who visit the park told WANF-TV that the incident was extremely disturbing but said they were not surprised because of the growing presence of homeless people. “I’m very disturbed. It’s very alarming to say the least,” said Tracy Murray, a mom who goes to the park with her daughters. “It’s a children’s park and just to know that it could’ve been us here in that situation, it’s quite alarming." She says she's seen a lot of illegal and inappropriate behavior at the park. “Sexual activity. Condoms discarded. Liquor bottles discarded. Activity coming in and out of the restroom,” Murray added. “I’m just hoping they pick up patrol a bit and start cleaning up the park.”Bishop was booked into the Cobb County Jail. Video from the children's park can be seen at WANF's news report on YouTube. Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
