From DC v Heller arguments, Justice Scalia gives his argument that the 2nd amendment protects an individual right, not associated with any militia.

Remembering William Holden (1918 ‑ 1981) on his birthday!

On Easter, this was Fox News . com headline. Fair and balanced 😏

Fox now says: don't listen to podcasters! They don't have fact-checking departments or any commitment to the truth and facts the way that we -- the professional journalists -- have. They all sound like Ursula von der Leyen, Rachel Maddow and EU censors now.

Hilarious that many conservatives heralded podcasts and independent media as the Nation's salvation: just a year ago when they helped Trump win. Now many of those podcasters criticize Israel and Trump's captivity to it, so now they're poison. Must trust corporate media again.

@ChrisMartzWX "twinkle twinkle little Earth" was overlooked by the Academy.

Think I hit the vinyl LP jackpot.

@emira_kasem @NancyMace Trump is doing the same thing with the Epstein files. He doesn't want innocent peoples' names made public because folks will automatically convict them. Taxpayers are paying the DOJ to protect them, especially Trump.

@IndyRedoubt @NancyMace Yes. They should want the public to know they were innocent. But settling isn’t innocence. It’s silencing. And using taxpayer dollars to settle allegations is unfair and should be unethical.

Been there. Done that. 357 members voted against exposing it.

@nicoledurmire @NancyMace You have just made my point. You will assume an innocent person is guilty before hearing any evidence. Try and keep up.

@IndyRedoubt @NancyMace If they “settled” with taxpayer money-you bet your sweet ass that the taxpayers have a right to know.

@GaPeachCDawn @NancyMace It's dummies like you who will automatically assume their guilt. There are women out there who will tell lies for a chance at a big money payout. How hard is that to understand?

@IndyRedoubt @NancyMace Yes and they should explain why they settled. No tax payer money period end of discussion... How hard is that to understand?

On this day in 1957, 12 ANGRY MEN was released in cinemas. It was the only film Henry Fonda produced, and it nearly broke him. And he never got paid. Here's the incredible story behind the all-time classic 👇 No Hollywood studio wanted to touch it. A serious, single-room drama about jury deliberation, released at a time when audiences craved colourful widescreen epics. When Fonda couldn't find a single producer willing to take the risk, he decided to do it himself - partnering with screenwriter Reginald Rose to form Orion-Nova Productions and bankrolling the picture on a shoestring budget of $340,000. Both men deferred their salaries just to get it made. Fonda hired 33-year-old Sidney Lumet to direct - a television veteran making his feature film debut. The reasoning was practical: Lumet was known for staying on schedule, on budget, and being extraordinary with actors. But Fonda's producing nightmare started before cameras even rolled. Walking onto the set for the first time, he took one look at the painted backdrop visible through the jury room windows and erupted. "They look like shit," he told Lumet. Fonda had just worked with the great Alfred Hitchcock on The Wrong Man and said "Hitch had great backdrops, you could walk right into them." Lumet assured him they had a plan. Fonda, though, wasn't convinced. Then came the dailies. As producer, Fonda was contractually obligated to attend at least one screening of each day's footage. The problem was that he couldn't stand watching himself on screen. After forcing himself into the projection room for the first day's rushes, he sat in the dark behind Lumet, watched in silence, then reached forward and squeezed the director's neck so hard Lumet thought his eyes would pop out. "It's magnificent, Sidney," Fonda whispered. Then he fled, never attending another screening for the rest of the production. Lumet completed the film in 19 days, finishing one day ahead of schedule and £1,000 under budget, and Fonda wanted a modest rollout, starting at a small art-house cinema and building on word of mouth - exactly as romantic drama hit Marty had done two years earlier. United Artists ignored him. They opened Easter Week at New York's Capitol Theatre, a venue seating 4,600 people. Fonda later recalled how the first audience "barely filled the first four or five rows." The theatre pulled the film after a single week. 12 Angry Men grossed just $1,000,000 - barely enough to cover production and marketing. Fonda and Rose, who had deferred their salaries to keep the film alive, never received them. A year and a half after release, they still hadn't been paid even half of what they were owed. Despite all of it - the stress, the financial loss, the distribution disaster - 12 Angry Men would go on to become an all-time Hollywood classic. As for Fonda, he always regarded it as one of the three finest films he ever made, alongside The Grapes of Wrath and The Ox-Bow Incident. He just never produced another one.

@IndyRedoubt You were never MAGA, you're not even from a specific real place and your opinion is as worthless as single digit follower anons.

INCREDIBLE! Former VP Mike Pence just endorsed Indiana State Sen. Jim Buck, who opposed mid-cycle congressional redistricting. His Trump-backed primary challenger is Tracey Powell. “I have known State Senator Jim Buck throughout my years serving Indiana from the State House to the White House and I have always seen him as a man of integrity and one of Indiana’s most conservative state legislators,” Pence said. “Jim Buck is a committed Christian who has championed faith, family and freedom throughout his long and distinguished career. Senator Jim Buck is a principled conservative whose unwavering stand for the Right to Life, Tax Cuts, Balanced Budgets and the 2nd Amendment have earned him the respect of conservatives across the country. Senator Jim Buck has always put Hoosier families, small businesses and family farms first throughout his many years serving Indiana and I know he always will.  “With gratitude for his longstanding commitment to conservative values and Indiana families, I am proud to endorse State Senator Jim Buck and urge Hoosiers in Senate District 21 to vote for State Senator Jim Buck in the May 5th Republican Primary!”

@TheHouzi @jstewartIndy @Mike_Pence Not an insurrection, just a bunch of m0rons rioting because of Trump lies.

@IndyRedoubt @jstewartIndy @Mike_Pence You mean the insurrection parade, yeah so scary

@daffypost Here's a post of mine from 2018 when I was MAGA. After your apology, you can go fck yourself m0ron.

@aelfred_D You just need more practice, that's all.

I’ve got a bandaid on my finger and while driving I noticed it’s fraying and the loose thread started to bug me. I very distinctly had the thought, hey, just pull your knife out, open it, and cut the thread off. While driving. I am not a smart man.

@RealHickory @LeaderJohnThune The filibuster is alive and well.

What about the SAVE America Act @LeaderJohnThune ????

@EliLake @IDF They've been having a lot of turnover lately.

If you want to follow personnel changes inside the IRGC senior command, I recommend giving @IDF a follow.

@MaxNordau Maybe so, but it's protected speech. Even mor0ns like this have free speech.

These accounts are why people are trying to shoot up synagogues.

@TonySeruga Trump was responsible for 1/6, full stop. If he had been man enough to accept defeat, those morons wouldn't have even been in DC on 1/6.

President Trump exposed Nancy Pelosi's crime family ordering the release of the classified FBI Pelosi crimes/secrets. It’s why J6 was needed to create a smokescreen and media distraction. DO NOT LET NANCY GET AWAY WITH IT!
