Australian lawmakers have approved a ban on social media for children under the age of 16-years-old. 

Catch Up posted an absurd post by Alexander Vindman. In it, he accused Elon Musk of sharing state secrets with Putin upon Putin’s command. Vindman also accused Donald Trump without any evidence. The entire statement is baseless and vicious. What isn’t baseless is Musk’s response. The corrupt media is running with it but only reporting […] The post Musk Calls Out the Vindmans’ Enron-Style Scheme appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and a lot of downtime, inevitably leading to spending more hours in front of a screen. That can be a good thing when you’re tuning in to classic holiday movies. Not only are they (mostly) devoid of the Leftist propaganda that’s taken over Hollywood lately, but they’re also a surefire way to put you in the holiday spirit during the most wonderful time of the year. Just like with Christmas songs, there aren’t nearly as many Thanksgiving-themed movies. But there are some truly great options that capture the feeling of gratitude. From heartwarming classics to laugh-out-loud comedies, these are the best Thanksgiving movies to watch this holiday season. Any best-of Thanksgiving movie list absolutely must include “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” an animated classic that has warmed the hearts of both young and old since 1973. This beloved Peanuts special follows Charlie Brown’s well-intentioned but hilariously disastrous attempt to host Thanksgiving dinner for his friends after Peppermint Patty invites everyone to his house. Using a toaster and a ping-pong table, Charlie and Snoopy create a meal that becomes a memorable lesson in friendship and gratitude.  A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973). IIMDB. This heartwarming movie is only 25 minutes long, making it the perfect option to view between your turkey dinner and pumpkin pie. It’s also great for kids and adults to watch together.  “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” (1987) is the quintessential Thanksgiving comedy, traditionally viewed on Thanksgiving Eve or Thanksgiving day. Steve Martin and John Candy star as two strangers, advertising executive Neal Page (Martin) and shower curtain ring salesman Del Griffith (Candy), who get stranded during holiday travel, often with over-the-top disastrous results. This John Hughes production was released to critical acclaim and still holds a 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The story is a comedy, but it also has a meaningful message at its heart.  “Home for the Holidays” (1995), directed by Jodie Foster, also explores family dynamics during Thanksgiving. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Holly Hunter and other celebrities, including Robert Downey Jr., Anne Bancroft, Charles Durning, Dylan McDermott, and others. This holiday option includes awkward moments and the often dysfunctional yet loving family dynamic present at many holiday gatherings. It’s a relatable film that captures real life so well. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “Grumpy Old Men” (1993) is about next-door neighbors John Gustafson (Jack Lemmon) and Max Goldman (Walter Matthau), who have a long-running rivalry. Everything comes to a head when a new neighbor named Ariel Truax (Ann-Margaret) moves in, leading to funny antics and romantic hijinks as they compete for her affection. Things really take a turn when they realize a mutual friend already had Thanksgiving dinner with the object of their affection. Ann-Margret, Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau. “Grumpy Old Men.” IMDB. Finally, “Scent of a Woman” (1992), starring Al Pacino and Chris O’Donnell, is a drama about a prep school student who takes a short-term job around Thanksgiving to work as a companion and assistant to a blind retired Army lieutenant colonel who is depressed and abusing alcohol. For his performance, Pacino won the Academy Award for Best Actor, and the movie was nominated for Best Director, Best Picture, and Best Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published. It’s Thanksgiving Day – settle back with a movie, digest your turkey, and enjoy.

President-elect Donald Trump posted his Thanksgiving Day message early Thursday morning on Truth Social and X, celebrating “the great people of our Nation” who just gave him a “landslide victory.” Trump also called out “Radical Left Lunatics” in his post, saying they “have miserably failed.” The Thanksgiving Day message comes as Trump prepares for a second term in the White House, which will commence in less than two months. “Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide victory to those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Don’t worry, our Country will soon be respected, productive, fair, and strong, and you will be, more than ever before, proud to be an American!” Trump wrote.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 28, 2024 Trump’s post takes on a similar tone as his 2023 Thanksgiving Day message when he also slammed “Radical Left Lunatics” and railed against New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought civil fraud charges against him. Trump also blasted President Joe Biden, who he said “allowed our Country to go to HELL,” and at the end of his message, Trump added, “Have no fear, however, we will WIN the Presidential Election of 2024, & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Following his election victory, Trump also celebrated the dismissal of charges related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents and federal election charges, which were brought by special counsel Jack Smith. “These cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought,” Trump said. “Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME.” Trump will likely spend the Thanksgiving holiday at his Mar-a-Lago estate in South Florida, USA Today reported. The president-elect met with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg for dinner at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday evening.
