@Lordoftheringsu Completely lost the whole meaning of the book. Hobbits being trained to stand alone.

Peter Jackson removed Tolkien’s "Scouring of the Shire" from The Return of the King because he believed it would feel anti-climactic after the destruction of the Ring, destroying the film's pacing. Jackson felt the emotional peak was already achieved at Mount Doom and that a lengthy final battle would "sour" the experience.
Do you think Peter Jackson made the right decision by removing The Scouring of the Shire from The Lord of the Rings?

George R.R. Martin on the brilliance of The Lord of the Rings: "As I read Return of the King, I didn’t want it to be over. That last book blew my mind, particularly the scouring of the Shire. I didn’t like that when I was in high school. The story’s over, and they destroyed the ring — but he didn’t write 'and now they lived happily ever after.' Instead, they went home and home was all [expletive] up. The evil guys had burned down some of the woods; a fascist-like tyranny had taken over. That seemed anticlimactic to me. Frodo didn’t live happily ever after or marry a nice girl hobbit. He was permanently wounded; he was damaged. As a 13 year old, I couldn’t grasp that. Now, every time I re-read The Lord of the Rings — which I do, every few years — I appreciate the brilliance of the scouring of the Shire. That’s part of what lifts the book from all its imitators. There was a real cost to Tolkien’s world. There’s a tremendous sadness at the end of Lord of the Rings, and it has a power. I think that’s partly why people are still reading and re-reading these books." Was it a mistake to not include the scouring in Peter Jackson's films?

Watch Stephen A. Smith win over Bill Maher’s audience with a brutal response to the Olympics banning trans athletes from women’s sports.
MAHER: “I imagine this is going to be… another [issue] where you can make Democrats die on the hill that they died on last time.”
SMITH: “If it’s an issue within the Democratic Party, that’s their own damn problem.”
“Biological men should not be competing against biological girls in sports, PERIOD.”
“I don’t want to get in the way of anybody’s civil rights, civil liberties, or anything like that. But what about protecting the young ladies? Young ladies going up against men, you know, biological men. There is no excuse for that.”
“And by the way… Lia Thomas (the swimmer) was ranked over 400th in the world.”
“And then he became a she… and NUMBER ONE!”
“Well, damn it. Does it really take an Einstein to realize that there’s something wrong with that picture?!”
[Bill Maher and the room break out in laughter]
“I mean, are we kidding ourselves?!”

In the comments people are saying that everyone gets the same amount of time for the speech.
I am 100% sure if I put this video next to one of the same length, I’ll see a big difference.

Trumps response to The United Kingdom finally thinking about sending aircraft carriers to the Persian Gulf is basically thanks but no thanks we don’t need them. The sun is setting on the Empire quickly.

It’s a constant reminder that our government is in control and will never do anything about issues like this where a large portion of people would like it gone.

@SenateDems are you guys really going to go down this road? Go Iran? It’s bad enough you’re still holding up funding for Homeland security which god help you if that leads to an attack against our country. I’ve never seen a more miserable and misguided group of people in my lifetime and I’m 69…#fdemsenators

@RepJeffries you need to control your members. Not showing is bad enough but to show up and disrupt is classless you and they deserve all the scorn you are seeing like below. By all means keep it up 👍

Not to be forgotten was Team USA’a women’s celebration of the Anthem.
It’s not complicated. If you want your country to support you, support your country. We want to win, but win with patriots.
