by Wolf Richter‚ Wolf Street: Americans have changed how they watch movies. They watch more than ever‚ but at home. Only 852 million movie tickets were sold in 2023‚ down by 46% from the peak year 2002 (1.85 billion tickets)‚ so that was 21 years ago‚ and down by 31% from 2019 (1.23 billion tickets)‚ […]

As I’ve said before‚ George Soros has been on my radar for a long time because he continues to appear anti-democratic. As a quick refresher‚ Soros grew up in Hungary and was recruited into a Jewish council as a child. These councils were set up by Nazis to do their bidding against the Jews’ own people. Soros was assigned the job of confiscating Jewish property in his community. As an adult looking back on this time in his childhood‚ Soros has said the experience wasn’t difficult at all. His own father has indicated George seemed to have enjoyed working with the Nazis. As an adult‚ Soros is actively working to see the end of America‚ evidence which is namely in the form of his investments. He has funded electing liberal district attorneys into office while advocating for defunding the police. Yet he does this cunningly by giving to one cause to ensure it makes its way to another. His network of fact-checkers cover his tracks‚ and the CIA and FBI leave him alone. As I expected‚ out of his five children‚ his son Alexander is set to fill his father’s role. Alexander Soros was named “successor” to George in the Wall Street Journal in June‚ just before his father turned 93 in August. George‚ of course‚ has been implementing legacy plans for how his work will continue which the Wall Street Journal documented in their first interview with Alexander‚ who plans to continue to fund leftist initiatives. Alexander is now overseeing “the $25 billion empire” and nonprofit Open Society Foundations (OSF). Labeled an American philanthropist and a younger son of the five Soros children‚ 38-year-old Alexander is also one of the World Economic Forum’s young global leaders of 2018 and beyond.  WATCH: Candace Owens This year‚ he spoke on a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos. It was a rare opportunity to be able to hear him speak‚ but listening to him‚ I was genuinely shocked. He commented on technology‚ democracy‚ institutions‚ and Trump. At least‚ he said those words somewhere in his dialogue. He also said:  I don’t think that that’s the fundamental‚ I don’t think technology is fundamental issue in in democracy. Democracy is messy. I mean‚ you know‚ democracy is about contestation of ideas. It’s about plurality. It’s about people having different truths‚ actually. Now‚ fundamentally‚ how society lives together‚ civically‚ in those in those contestations is‚ you know‚ is obviously‚ is obviously‚ you know‚ quite‚ quite‚ you know‚ quite tricky. And: And‚ you know‚ you know‚ we just heard this this point about untrustworthy people and we talked about things in the United States like‚ you know‚ like checks and balances which aren’t written anywhere but are customs. And one man‚ Donald Trump‚ literally came in and just took that‚ you know‚ took that‚ took that all away‚ you know‚ so‚ you know‚ so‚ you know‚ but when I see this‚ you know‚ when I look at this‚ you know‚ you know‚ more globally regarding‚ regarding‚ you know‚ regarding democracy‚ I also say to myself‚ when was this great time that everybody got along so well and‚ you know‚ things were going so‚ so great?  I was shocked at what came out of his mouth — or rather‚ what didn’t. I never imagined that. He is one of the individuals who get up on stage at this forum — a forum built around people who think they are the brightest people in the world and everyone else is too stupid to know how to live their own lives. So they sit down‚ plot‚ and think about the future of the world together because they don’t think anyone is smart enough to know how to take care of themselves. To be sure‚ Alexander Soros is a trust fund baby. However‚ being a trust fund baby does not automatically equal stupidity. Coming from wealth also does not mean you did not earn some of your success. Yet Alexander Soros‚ the man who has just inherited billions of dollars and is going to represent the future‚ cannot so much as string together a sentence. Absolutely nothing he said made any sense. I have listened to the clip of his panel multiple times‚ but his words make no sense. They’re incoherent. I actually tried to figure out how he could say so much and absolutely nothing at all within a two minute span. Even someone on drugs or hungover could get a few sentences out. But not Alexander Soros. This would actually be hilarious if it wasn’t for the fact that Soros has inherited billions and is going to shape the future of this country. He has the ability to do that because of the wealth that his father earned‚ which I emphasize because he clearly isn’t capable of earning that sort of wealth on his own. Alexander Soros is a trust fund baby — and he’s not a bright one. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP So I will leave you with some final words from Alexander Soros: I mean‚ I think‚ you know‚ you know‚ the‚ you know‚ I think that we really have to be careful here. And‚ you know‚ in this nostalgia for a time‚ you know‚ for a time past‚ because a lot of the reactions we’re seeing in society are actually reactions to positive‚ positive things like‚ you know‚ like equality for women‚ you know‚ and‚ you know‚ and greater diversity‚ which comes with backlash. Who knows what he was trying to say.

An October Facebook post from Sergeant First Class Ahmad Abu Latif‚ a member of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF)‚ has resurfaced for fresh praise after he died in combat in the Gaza Strip on Monday. Abu Latif‚ from Rahat‚ left behind a wife and an 11-month-old daughter‚ as well as his parents and 11 brothers and sisters. As a Bedouin Arab and Israeli citizen‚ he served in the 8208th Battalion of the 261st Brigade. Abu Latif died in the single deadliest event for the IDF to date of its military campaign in Gaza. Abu Latif was helping to clear buildings in southern Gaza when an explosion brought two structures down on top of IDF soldiers inside. Twenty-one IDF soldiers died in the incident‚ including two who died in an Israeli tank‚ hit by an RPG‚ guarding the area nearby. In addition to being remembered for his service and sacrifice‚ the Bedouin soldier is also gaining praise again for a Facebook post from October to students at Ben-Gurion University‚ according to The Jerusalem Post. Abu Latif worked as security at the university before taking part in the Gaza military operations after the October 7 terror attack by Hamas. Abu Latif sought to reassure the university students of their safety following the deadliest day for Jews since World War II in which roughly 1‚200 Israelis were killed and hundreds more taken captive. “I am proud to be an Israeli Bedouin. As far as I am concerned‚ the people that I live with and work with are my brothers and sisters‚ and we all live together and respect one another in our land‚” Abu Latif wrote in the post‚ according to Israel National News. “I am proud to be a Bedouin who serves in the IDF as a combat soldier in a Bedouin battalion. I merited to protect and defend‚ in meaningful service that I will never forget. My service showed me my strengths and capabilities to deal with challenges and I met amazing people that became my lifelong friends.” He celebrated his chance to serve in the IDF and said the opportunities he received to connect with his fellow Israelis from different backgrounds‚ and opportunities for them to better understand him‚ were the moments he cherished the most. “I am so very happy that I have a chance to connect to people in our society‚ and to connect between cultures‚ I am happy that I can invite my friends to eat meat and maqluba in Rahat‚ and be their guests in the backyards of the kibbutz Shoval‚ where they play guitar and sing songs of by Yehudit Ravitz. I am happy that I can hike through the land with my friends and I am most happy when they learn Arabic‚ try to talk to me in Arabic‚ and ask me to help them‚” he wrote. Abu Latif also urged Israelis to unite against Hamas‚ writing that Gaza is “completely different” and controlled by “murderous terrorist organizations that make no distinction between Jew and Arab.” “The Bedouin community mourns the civilians killed despite having done no wrong‚ Jews‚ Christians‚ or Muslims. I would like to take this chance to wake up everyone who read this – we are all part of the same destiny‚ and we all need to be together and united‚” he wrote.

Universal Pictures has tapped the original screenwriter for the first two “Jurassic Park” movies to write the next “Jurassic World” movie‚ which is projected to hit theaters potentially as early as 2025. David Koepp‚ who wrote the original “Jurassic Park” in 1993 and “Jurassic Park: The Lost World” in 1997‚ is far along with the new script‚ according to The Hollywood Reporter. The movie will be executive produced by Steven Spielberg. The new movie for the franchise‚ which has brought in billions of dollars for Universal Pictures‚ is expected to usher in a “new Jurassic era‚” the report said‚ adding that it seemed as though Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard would not be involved. The report noted that Koepp is one of the top screenwriters in the industry and that his accolades include “the original Mission: Impossible (1996) film and the first Spider-Man movie (2002) to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) and last year’s Indy entry‚ Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Variety noted that franchise “mainstay Frank Marshall is coming back to produce‚ along with his regular producing partner Patrick Crowley.”
