Dick Atkins

@elonmusk Where are the smart, moderate Democrats (I'm looking at you @MarkWarner - the only sitting Senator I've actually known, he financed a movie I produced in VA)? How could you oppose this?

Failing to pass SAVE is an act of high treason against the people of America

@RealKidPoker @RealDeanCain Right on, @RealKidPoker.

If I had the power to free 90 million people from an evil regime killing 40,000 protesters in the street with no end in sight, and those very people pleaded for my help, and I could take their oppressors out with precision the world has never seen before- I’d do it. Would you? I don’t care where you stand politically, Iranians suffered for 47 years under brutal tyranny and are now dancing in the streets with joy and gratitude for the US and Israel. Put your whataboutism aside and focus on just this very question: Is it a good thing that Iranians are dancing in the streets all across the globe, happy to be freed from Islamic Oppression? Does their opinion count to you? The ones that suffered through it? To the “What’s in it for us” crowd, this regime is also the number one funder of global terrorism and responsible for infecting the minds of the next generation with anti Western propaganda. To the “They aren’t doing it because they want to help the people” crowd- who cares. If a guy donates $100k to sick children because he wants to feed his ego, the sick children still benefit. It’s still a good thing regardless of his intentions. This rescue mission was a GOOD THING. A side benefit, once Iran started flailing with a response hitting UAE, Kuwait, and several other neutral sovereign nations, it creates the potential for new alliances with Muslim led countries that now have a common enemy. This was a chess like masterpiece of a mission. Long live the people of 🇮🇷 May the Lion Roar once again. 🙏

@elonmusk Unfortunately it seems time to revamp (or ignore) federal District Court judges, who believe it's in their purview to claim ultimate authority over the other branches of govt. Never meant to be this way. The courts are running the country @theblaze theblaze.com/columns/opinio…

If the American public is unable to influence the outcome, we do not live in a democracy. The House, Senate and Presidency are Republican and yet a single activist masquerading as a judge is able to force massive fraud to continue …

@marcmalkin Re your interesting column today w/ Richard Gere & The Dalai Lama. I, along with my associate at the time Ray Errol Fox, spent a month in Mongolia w/ Gere & The Dalai Lama in 1995 filming documentary footage, incl. private half hour interviews w/ both men. Brought there and organized by our friend @Jalsa Urubshurow, owner of Nomadic Expeditions, who also made Gere's arrangements. Fascinating time. variety.com/2025/film/news…

Very sad, but true. O for the good ol’ days when just producers produced… variety.com/2025/film/feat…

Great thanks to Market Rebellion @MarketRebels for a terrific #RebelCon2025 in Vegas this weekend. What a privilege to spend some time w/ the incomparable @jonnajarian & @petenajarian, 2 of the most genuine, fine men you’d ever want to meet. Marc LoPresti @MXLESQ & their whole team was so welcoming & approachable while sharing invaluable knowledge of the markets.

It is very, very sad & ironic that the legendary Dick Button, the first American figure skater to win Olympic gold, would pass away a day after the tragedy over the Potomac where figure skaters died. Dick Button & I (2 D*cks I guess) had a deal years ago to make a TV movie about the similar tragedy when the entire US Figure Skating team died in a plane crash on the way to the 1961 World Championships. Don't even remember why we didn't ultimately get it done, but Dick was a wonderful man. RIP to him & all lost this week. @DickButton #figureskating #tragedy #planecrash hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/dic…

@RealKidPoker Exactly, Daniel. Couldn't agree more. I've seen it happen even in the family, & it's sad. Great to see you voice common sense. (from your LLV neighbor - we chatted in the Lake Club parking lot few months ago.)

I understood this far too late in life, but better late than never. Excluding people from your life because you have different political views only hurts you. I truly do not care who you vote for, I would love to see all Americans root for each other again like they used to.

@RealKiefer So sorry to hear it, Kiefer. He was absolutely wonderful. Missing our time together on Trapped in Silence, my old friend. All good thoughts are with you.

With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.

If you could only watch one Christmas movie for the rest of your life, what would it be?

@elonmusk @elonmusk On my desk too... Dorje "thunderbolt" - Dalai Lama held one as I filmed him in Mongolia.
