“Shazam!” star Zachary Levi torched an entertainment outlet that attacked him for his support of President-elect Donald Trump following Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat in the election. In a lengthy X post on Wednesday, the 44-year-old actor hit back against the Hollywood entertainment outlet Showbiz 411 — run by Roger Friedman — after it said the “only consolation” in Trump’s victory is that Levi “will never be part of mainstream Hollywood after this. You can make movies with Mel Gibson and Dennis Quaid.” “Oh, it’s all gravy, Roger!” the actor replied. “My goal has always been to leave it at some point anyway, and build a better system that actually values and compensates the artists more than enriching far too many executives that, by and large, compromise the creative integrity of the art whilst taking the lion share of the proceeds, which they don’t deserve.” “In addition, I plan on creating a studio that protects and promotes certified organic, human-made content, while mainstream Hollywood continues to replace all of its workforce with AI, simply to maximize their dwindling profits,” he added. “Enjoy reporting on the sidelines of the Hollywood apocalypse!” Oh, it’s all gravy, Roger! My goal has always been to leave it at some point anyway, and build a better system that actually values and compensates the artists more than enriching far too many executives that, by and large, compromise the creative integrity of the art whilst… https://t.co/T7Y74RccTJ — Zachary Levi (@ZacharyLevi) November 6, 2024 Speaking on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the actor said he hadn’t voted for Trump in the last two elections, but noted that the former president did a “good job” — despite what Trump’s opponents said. “For four years, the world didn’t blow up,” Levi said. “He didn’t turn into the Nazi fascist that everybody [said] he was going to be the first time around. We entered no more wars. Our economy was better. Our border was better.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “Even if I don’t like all of his Trumpiness,” Levi said, that doesn’t change the fact that Vice President Kamala Harris “is not qualified in any way shape or form to be the Commander in Chief, the leader of the free world. Absolutely not.” Levi said he wasn’t just voting for Trump — rather, he was “voting for Donald Trump, Bobby Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Elon Musk, JD Vance, and everyone else that they’re going to bring in this team, this Avengers.” “They’re going to get in there and actually do what Donald Trump said he was going to do the first time, which was drain the swamp,” he added. Levi made headlines in September when he became one of the rare voices in Hollywood to endorse Trump, saying he believed the former president would “take back this country” and “make it great again,” as The Daily Wire reported.

During her illustrious career, which spans more than 40 years, Dolly Parton has had much to be proud of. She came from very humble beginnings in rural Tennessee to become one of the greatest country singers of all time. Dolly Parton’s kind heart is as recognizable as her beautiful voice, and fans love her for it. She’s composed thousands of songs, but Dolly Parton has her favorites. One of Dolly Parton’s Most Favorite Songs Was One Of Her First Hits She recently told The Guardian that while she loves “all of them”, a few of her songs are particularly meaningful. “I think the one that’s most personal to me is the lil’ Coat of Many Colors because it talks about my mom, my parents, and kind of gives you an insight. It also covers bullying, acceptance, and all that,” she said. “Of course, the one that’s most recorded is Jolene. That seems to be the favorite—do you know that song has been recorded, somebody told me, 450 times in the last 52 years? I’m so proud of it.” Another incredible artist, Whitney Houston, covered one of Dolly Parton’s other favorite songs. She recorded I Will Always Love You in 1973. It became a smash hit for Whitney nearly 20 years later when she recorded a cover for The Bodyguard soundtrack. At 78, Dolly isn’t slowing down quite yet. She’s ready to share a unique experience with fans in Dolly Parton’s Threads: My Songs in Symphony. The brand-new symphonic experience will be at the Nashville Symphony on March 20, 2025. She’ll have stops across the country where Dilly Parton’s fans will see her come to life on screen and learn the stories behind her favorite songs. “The threads of my life are woven together through my songs,” Dolly said of the project. “That’s why this project, Threads: My Songs In Symphony, is so special to me. It’s all about sharing my music and my musical journey with audiences in a new way. I’m really excited for fans to experience it for the first time with the Nashville Symphony!” This story’s featured image is by Carl Beust via Shutterstock.

'We obviously have to make the border strong'

'Too much money flows in the shadows to influence our elections'

American corporate media suffered a monumental rebuke Tuesday as Americans ignored them and elected Donald Trump as the nation’s next president. How have the outlets responded? By calling for the government to censor their opposition, of course, and whining about how people aren’t listening to them anymore. That’s been the theme on major network television shows as the dust settles on President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, which will send him back to the White House on Jan. 20. Here’s PBS’ White House news correspondent, Laura Barrón-López, saying on CNN that the reason Democrats lost so badly is in part because “there is an entire right-wing media ecosystem that doesn’t exist on the left and it does not exist in the center or mainstream.” No self awareness! @lbarronlopez, a correspondent for PBS, while on CNN, blamed Kamala Harris loss on how “there is an entire right wing media ecosystem that doesn’t exist on the left and it does not exist in the center or mainstream.” pic.twitter.com/QKPjTGHhvO— Brent Baker ?? ?? (@BrentHBaker) November 7, 2024 Wait, who is mainstream? Wouldn’t that be the guy who won one of the largest landslide victories in a presidential race in 40 years, Barrón-López? Barrón-López also complained that these new media platforms were “reaching Americans where they are, regardless of age and demographic … whether it was misinformation or disinformation or propaganda.” Oh, how terrible: reaching people where they are, regardless of their demographic. It was notable that the CNN analysts and hosts in the segment all nodded along with her. It gets worse. CNN commentator Van Jones called for “regulation” of social media platforms. CNN host Van Jones calls for social media regulations over Elon Musks close relationship with Trump. “I think in a normal country we would say, hold on a second, we need to have a different set of regulations for social media platforms.” pic.twitter.com/hxt0zXPIAo— Oli London (@OliLondonTV) November 7, 2024 How many CNN program hosts and hosts on other networks have worked directly for Democrat presidential administrations? They don’t seem to have a problem with that. MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle delivered a salty monologue about how awful it is that Americans now get their information on the social media platform X rather than accept whatever narrative the traditional networks force-feed viewers. “We have now let misinformation become the accepted information,” Rhule said, angrily. “It is washed over us. Elon Musk buys Twitter and then uses it almost exclusively to be a propaganda machine. And we’ve accepted it.” Musk renamed Twitter as X in July 2023. Using extremely online lingo, Rhule then said: “America has just decided that we’re going to f**k around and find out.” For the most hysterical and tyrannical take of all, we turn to ABC’s “The View” co-host Sarah Haines, who said the real lesson of the election is that Congress should have stepped in and censored information on social media. Harris would’ve won “if we could regulate social media.”pic.twitter.com/Xfm9537W1F— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) November 6, 2024 The first thing I’d like to note here is the tone of this message. According to the ladies of “The View” and much of the left-wing commentariat, Trump and his Republican Party are literal fascists who want to end democracy. That was the last-minute pitch by the Harris-Walz campaign, which many in the media happily echoed and promoted—as they have for basically the last decade. Here’s media darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., saying that we’ are’re entering an era of “authoritarianism and fascism.” AOC: "We are about to enter a period of fascism and authoritarianism" pic.twitter.com/VDkyeB99zz— End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) November 7, 2024 If Democrat politicians and their media allies truly believe that, one would think they’d all avoid saying right now on public platforms, “You know, the real problem is the government isn’t censoring people into silence.” Maybe they’d even say, “Hey, it’s really important to protect the freedom of speech for all Americans, even the ones who disagree with us.” But nope. Instead, they continue to demand that the government step in and make their opponents shut up. What this says to me is that they don’t actually believe their nonsense about Trump being the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler. Even after this election, they don’t actually think Trump or his supporters will step in and silence them, as they want to silence others. Clearly, left-wing cultural elites have a kind of general comfort that in the end, they control government and institutions. What they apparently define as “fascism” is being prevented from using their power to control society. Fascism is simply saying “Don’t tread on me” and meaning it. My second big takeaway is that the Left’s post-election calls to “censor them, censor the fascists!” is a good indicator of what was at stake in this election and how much has changed since 2020. Musk’s decision to acquire Twitter has been entirely justified. Until quite recently the Left didn’t just control the corporate, legacy media. They owned social media too. As the “Twitter Files” exposed, social media platforms coordinated with government agencies and corporate entities to censor and manipulate information. Remember, in the weeks before the 2020 election, Twitter and Facebook literally suppressed and even blocked links to the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story, which turned out to be true. Then something incredible happened. Musk stepped in and bought Twitter, now X. I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that Musk made a world-changing decision. It’s clear that many on the left knew this would begin a sea change. By losing control of X to someone who merely wouldn’t censor the opposition, the Left lost the ability to control most of the information that reaches not just Americans but people the world over. The remaining left-wing governments clearly see this as a threat and in many cases have tried to limit and in some cases outright shut down X or any platform that could be used to promote a message they don’t like. Fortunately, here in America we have something called the First Amendment that protects the God-given right to free speech. But don’t think that will prevent leftist leaders from playing their hand to try to circumvent the Constitution. With the results of Tuesday’s election, that effort—at least here in the United States—is far more likely to be derailed. It was a stunning and total rebuke to any kind of censorship regime taking hold in America. Perhaps now media across the board will have to go to the American people “where they are,” and won’t be able to pin their hopes on having the government swoop in and regulate the competition out of existence. Maybe now some genuine confidence can be restored in journalism, albeit in a media landscape that looks far different from the one that’s hit a historic low point in trust. The legacy media’s time has come. A new age is set to begin, and that’s a great thing for genuine democracy.
