Ted Cruz Introduces Bill That Would Ban Pentagon From Helping Hollywood Censor Films To Appease China

Sen. Ted Cruz ( R-TX ) has just introduced a new piece of legislation targeting Hollywood after accusing the entertainment world of being “ complicit in China ’ s censorship and propaganda in the name of bigger profits.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has just introduced a new piece of legislation targeting Hollywood after accusing the entertainment world of being “complicit in China’s censorship and propaganda in the name of bigger profits.”
Cruz’s new bill would stop the Pentagon from teaming up with Hollywood studios to help them censor films to appease the demands of communist China. Known as “The Stopping Censorship, Restoring Integrity, Protecting Talkies Act” (SCRIPT Act), the bill specifically bans the Department of Defense from coordinating with film studios to please the Chinese Communist Party.
“The SCRIPT Act will serve as a wake-up call by forcing Hollywood studios to choose between the assistance they need from the American government and the dollars they want from China,” Cruz explained.
Though it has not been highly publicized, the DOD and Hollywood have been working together for a hundred years, as the Pentagon often provides Hollywood with access to military facilities and equipment. The U.K. Independent reported that the DOD has had a hand in over 800 movies since 1917, including such blockbusters as Iron Man and The Terminator.
Cruz’s bill comes as various Washington lawmakers are trying to cut American ties with China in the wake of the communist nation unleashing the coronavirus upon the globe, killing hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Hollywood’s cozy relationship with China goes back a long way as well, as film studios make lots of money off releasing blockbusters in particular in China. That’s why they are willing to censor their movies to meet communist China’s demands, just so they can make more money.
Examples of Hollywood censoring movies to appease China include editing the film adaptation of the book World War Z to make it so that the zombie outbreak did not begin in China. Perhaps the most egregious example of censorship for China came with the 2012 remake of Red Dawn, when producers digitally removed each and every reference to the Chinese as the villains, replacing them with North Koreans.
Liberals will undoubtedly decry Cruz’s bill as “racist” because Democrats have effectively gotten in bed with the Chinese, but we fully support this legislation. It’s time to cut China off once and for all, and to no longer appease the communist state in any way.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-05-01--Jane Fonda Calls For COVID-19 Recovery Money To Be Used To Fight Climate Change

Hollywood actress Jane Fonda used her weekly “ Fire Drill Friday ” protest , which has been moved to the Internet because of the coronavirus pandemic , to outrageously call for COVID-19 recovery money to be used to fight climate change .
During the protest , Fonda ranted against corporate bailouts during the coronavirus crisis , instead demanding that the federal government allocate recovery money to green or sustainable energy as well as to efforts that create a “ level playing field ” for workers .
“ These historic sums of stimulus money aren ’ t going to happen again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And where they go and how they are spent will determine so much about what kind of future we have , ” said Fonda , 82 , according to Breitbart News .
“ So while we insist on more funding to heal the effects of this pandemic , we must also insist that the money is used to lay the foundation for a clean , sustainable energy future as well as justice and dignity and a level playing field for all workers.
” Fonda kicked off today ’ s rally by bashing President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stifling working Americans by trying “ to ram through bail outs for the already privileged and the powerful.
” She then praised Democrats , who she claims “ have fought to include financial aid for workers and small businesses , hospitals…but more , much more needs to be done.
” Of course , this is a blatant lie , as it was congressional Democrats who just blocked aid for small businesses in a Republican-backed initiative that would have created $ 250 billion in coronavirus-related small-business loans .
Moving on from there , Fonda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaders .
“ We have to say ‘ no ’ to bailouts for corporate executives and oil billionaires and ‘ yes ’ to immediately protecting the most vulnerable among us , ” she said .
“ Fossil fuel executives don ’ t give a fuzzy rat ’ s ass about workers or communities ’ well being.
” “ Now ’ s the time to invest in economic relief and stimulus measures that put all workers and families first , not big corporations , ” she added .
Fonda has been known for her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the way back to her anti-American protests during the Vietnam War , when she was nicknamed “ Hanoi Jane.
” It seems that some things never change , as she is now gleefully trying to use a pandemic that has killed over 60,000 Americans to force her radical liberal agenda down all of our throats .

During the protest, Fonda ranted against corporate bailouts during the coronavirus crisis, instead demanding that the federal government allocate recovery money to green or sustainable energy as well as to efforts that create a “level playing field” for workers.
“These historic sums of stimulus money aren’t going to happen again, maybe even during our lifetimes. And where they go and how they are spent will determine so much about what kind of future we have,” said Fonda, 82, according to Breitbart News. “So while we insist on more funding to heal the effects of this pandemic, we must also insist that the money is used to lay the foundation for a clean, sustainable energy future as well as justice and dignity and a level playing field for all workers.”

“Now’s the time to invest in economic relief and stimulus measures that put all workers and families first, not big corporations,” she added.
Fonda has been known for her crazed left-wing activism for decades, going all the way back to her anti-American protests during the Vietnam War, when she was nicknamed “Hanoi Jane.” It seems that some things never change, as she is now gleefully trying to use a pandemic that has killed over 60,000 Americans to force her radical liberal agenda down all of our throats.

Maine Restaurant Owner Defies Democratic Governor To Announce He’s Reopening A Month Early – ‘We’ve Had Enough Of It’

A restaurant owner from Maine is defying his state ’ s Democratic governor , announcing that he is reopening his establishment to dine-in customers a month early despite lockdown orders amidst the coronavirus pandemic .
Democratic Governor Janet Mills had previously announced that businesses like hair salons and other personal service facilities could reopen today , according to Bangor Daily News .
Restaurants , however , are part of stage two , which gives a tentative June 1 reopening date .
Rick Savage , owner of the Sunday River Brewing Co. , was so infuriated by this that he has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his restaurant a month early .
A post on Sunday River ’ s Facebook page revealed that the restaurant would open at 4 p.m. today with a limited number of seats available per social distancing guidelines .
As word of this spread , people began lining up outside the restaurant around lunch time .
As the line got longer and longer , one reporter commented that patrons viewed it as “ much more than a lunch rush , it ’ s a protest.
” Savage told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ consequences for defying Mills ’ order “ because she ’ s over her head .
She ’ s not consulting the experts ; she ’ s just doing this to break our state more than we already are.
” He went on to say that he ’ s “ gon na challenge the state ” to come and see for themselves what the Sunday River Brewing Co. is doing , and “ if you don ’ t like it , take me to court .
And then if they do take me to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tax money that I collect this month , and I ’ ll use that to fund a lawyer.
” Savage then directly accused Mills of being unresponsive to him and trying to bankrupt the state so it can acquire federal funds .
“ We ’ ve tried to call the governor ; you can ’ t even get ahold of them .
The lawmakers are left in the dark , both Republicans and Democrats , ” he explained .
“ She ’ s doing this all rogue on her own , so we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We ’ re encouraging all businesses in Maine to open up .
We should have never been shut down in the first place.
” Not stopping there , Savage read what he claimed was Mills ’ personal cellphone number on live television so people could contact her to blast her over the shutdown .
This patriot really is a force to be reckoned with !
As shutdowns continue all over the country , an increasing number of Americans are starting to feel just like Savage does .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-05-01--Biden Worried Over Jewish Vote, As Trump May Surge

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden has reversed course and is now saying that if he is elected president he will leave the U.S. Israeli embassy in Jerusalem , where President Donald Trump moved it .
That will not go over well with the anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli wing of his party , led by Rep. Ilhan Omar ( D-MN ) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib ( D-MI ) .
They are against any aid to Israel and advocate for a U.S. sponsorship of radical Islamist regimes and terror groups .
But Biden is trying to have it both ways .
He wants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and people like Omar .
Good luck with that .
“ I ’ ve been a proud supporter of a secure , democratic Jewish state of Israel my entire life , ” Biden said on Tuesday .
However , “ My administration will urge both sides to take steps to keep the prospect of a two-state solution alive.
” To some Israelis and American Jews the two-state solution is a dog whistle to the hard left that actually means slicing and dicing the state of Israel to the point it can not defend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of heart is a sop to those who recognize this .
Biden is trying to placate the Left by saying , “ Moving the embassy when we did without the conditions having been met was short-sighted and frivolous .
It should have happened in the context of a larger deal to help us achieve important concessions for peace in the process.
” Though illogically Biden now advocates the same course he still criticizes .
The reason for the two-state two-step is that Biden knows that President Trump has gained with the Jewish vote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ near a majority .
But he could cut into Biden ’ s strength there by 5 % -10 % .
That could make a difference in some vital states like Florida .
Trump ’ s Israeli policy is looked upon favorably by many American Jews .
Is his increased support from them going to put him over the top ?
Not likely .
However , it doesn ’ t have to if it keeps Florida away from the Democrats .
That in itself is reason enough for Biden to worry .

Nikki Haley slammed the FBI for their handling of the case against General Mike Flynn , after documents revealed questionable conduct was involved .
Haley : “ Can ’ t Believe This Happened In The US ” Recent documents leaked to the press show there was a severe mishandling by the FBI with their case prosecuting Mike Flynn .
“ What is our goal ?

“ Truth/Admission or to get him to lie , so we can prosecute him or get him fired ?
” It ’ s also clear that Peter Strzok , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keep the case going .
“ Hey if you haven ’ t closed RAZOR [ the investigation against Flynn , don ’ t do so yet , ” Strzok texted an unknown individual in January 2017 .
Speaking to Laura Ingraham on Fox News , the former South Carolina Governor says the case upset her “ so much , ” because during her tenure as Ambassador to the United Nations , “ this is what we looked at other countries doing … corrupt measures to frame people and to hide things , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believe this happened in the United States of America.
” “ This should send a chill up every American spine , whether you ’ re Republican or Democrat , ” Haley continued .

Nikki Haley slammed the FBI for their handling of the case against General Mike Flynn, after documents revealed questionable conduct was involved.
Haley: “Can’t Believe This Happened In The US”
Recent documents leaked to the press show there was a severe mishandling by the FBI with their case prosecuting Mike Flynn. “What is our goal?” the handwritten notes read. “Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?”
It’s also clear that Peter Strzok, the disgraced FBI agent, intervened to keep the case going.
“Hey if you haven’t closed RAZOR [the investigation against Flynn, don’t do so yet,” Strzok texted an unknown individual in January 2017.
Speaking to Laura Ingraham on Fox News, the former South Carolina Governor says the case upset her “so much,” because during her tenure as Ambassador to the United Nations, “this is what we looked at other countries doing … corrupt measures to frame people and to hide things,” adding that she couldn’t “believe this happened in the United States of America.”
“This should send a chill up every American spine, whether you’re Republican or Democrat,” Haley continued. “The idea that here was a man who was in transition with a new administration and the FBI didn’t follow protocols and went so far as to go and question him with a motive in mind, the idea that you would do that to an innocent American is terrible.”

This Federal Bureau Needs Someone Else To Investigate It!
Haley told Ingraham that “questions need to be asked” about the FBI regarding the Flynn case.
“The FBI needs to step up and let us know how the American people will ever trust them again that this won’t happen,” she added. “Everybody that was involved from top to bottom should have to pay, because I’m looking at James Comey. He has made millions over this time that General Flynn has literally lost everything. It’s wrong. It’s corrupt and someone needs to pay.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-05-01--Senator Duckworth Defies Obama To Break Ranks With Party On Biden Rape Charges

Decorated U.S. Army combat vet Senator Tammy Duckworth ( D-IL ) has just made some enemies .
But if DC rumoris correct , she already had those enemies , and her breaking ranks with fellow Democrats on the Biden rape charges may be her first move against them .
Duckworth said Thursday , “ Any woman who brings , or any man for that matter , who brings forward allegations of abuse , especially in the workplace , deserve to be listened to , and I certainly think that we need to thoroughly look at these allegations.
” The source @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in an election year this is a heck of a thing to do to your own party ’ s presumptive nominee .
As many other elected and non-elected Democrats ( not to mention the majority of the media ) line up to smear Tara Reade and defend Joe Biden from charges they salivated over when it came to Brett Kavanaugh , Duckworth stuck to her guns and kept her own counsel .
Why ?
Well , if DC players of both parties at makeshift happy hours are to be believed , Duckworth hit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eyes of the Obamas .
You see , Duckworth is from Illinois .
The state is a political fiefdom of the Obamas .
Michelle Obama wants Duckworth ’ s Senate seat .
Obama recently endorsed Biden and Biden was his vice president .
Duckworth may have fired a warning shot across the bow of the political ambitions of Michelle Obama , seemingly telling her to look elsewhere for a springboard to the White House .
Now , of course you may think What if Duckworth just did it because she is a standup @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , she ’ s Army so that could be a factor .
But she can also read a scenario and hears the same rumors other DC political types do .
If the rumor is true , then hopefully in the Army she learned proper defensive tactics .
She ’ s going to need them .

In a sad and unconvincing attempt at deflection and spin , Joe Biden sent a statement to MSNBC ‘ s “ Morning Joe ” before his Friday morning appearance on the show .
The statement made a contrived hash of defending himself against serious rape charges made by his former Senate staffer Tara Reade .
In the interview with show anchor Mika Brzezinski he regurgitated , like a broken automaton , the same points in a continuous loop .
“ No , it is not true .
I ’ m saying unequivocally it never , never happened and it didn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” said Biden on the show , in likely contravention of the facts .
Biden said in the prior statement , “ I am requesting that the Secretary of the Senate ask the Archives to identify any record of the complaint she alleges she filed and make available to the press any such document .
If there was ever any such complaint , the record will be there.
” Notice no mention of the University of Delaware archives where the real info is located .
Brzezinski asked the rape question at the beginning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on as quickly as possible to the usual Trump-bashing .
Biden vaguely further responded as best his limited abilities could permit , “ I recognize my responsibility to be a voice , an advocate , and a leader for the change in culture that has begun but is nowhere near finished .
So I want to address allegations by a former staffer that I engaged in misconduct 27 years ago.
” Then he dodged the issue .
Biden went on with his preprogrammed spin , “ She has said she raised some of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ staffers from my office at the time .
They — both men and a woman — have said , unequivocally , that she never came to them and complained or raised issues .

Hollywood Legend Robert Redford Says ‘Pleasant Surprise’ Of Coronavirus Could Be That It Helps The Environment

Hollywood legend Robert Redford just became the latest celebrity to claim that the coronavirus pandemic , which has killed over 61,000 Americans at the time of this writing and left 26 million unemployed , could be a good thing because it will allegedly help the environment .
The 83-year-old actor and his filmmaker son James Redford wrote an op-ed for NBC News in which they had the nerve to write that one of the “ pleasant surprises ” of the COVID-19 lockdown is that it has presented a means for “ potential environmental repair.
” “ As many of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have reduced operations , there has been a remarkable decline in global levels of carbon dioxide emissions , ” the Redfords wrote .

Hollywood legend Robert Redford just became the latest celebrity to claim that the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed over 61,000 Americans at the time of this writing and left 26 million unemployed, could be a good thing because it will allegedly help the environment.
The 83-year-old actor and his filmmaker son James Redford wrote an op-ed for NBC News in which they had the nerve to write that one of the “pleasant surprises” of the COVID-19 lockdown is that it has presented a means for “potential environmental repair.”
“As many of the world’s transportation and industrial sectors have reduced operations, there has been a remarkable decline in global levels of carbon dioxide emissions,” the Redfords wrote. They went on to suggest that while “the cost in life and livelihood negates any celebration,” the results of coronavirus have nonetheless given us “a very real glimpse of the potential for global environmental repair.”
The father and son duo also called on governments to step in and “protect” the people from “climate change” much like they have taken action against COVID-19. The Redfords essentially would like governments to fight climate change with the same draconian measures that have destroyed our economy and left millions unemployed.
“The incremental and sporadic nature of climate change has not thus far motivated the sort of rapid response we have seen with COVID-19,” they stated, noting their dismay, adding that “inertia is unacceptable.”
The Redfords went on to warn Americans to prepare for “the worst of the climate change curve” much like they are bracing themselves for the worst of the COVID-19 curve.
“We’ve been fortunate to witness the inspiring power of people doing the right thing,” they wrote. “Millions of Americans have willingly sheltered in place to protect their families and communities.”
In the end, the Redfords clearly see the coronavirus as a positive thing, which isn’t hard for them as they worked on this op-ed comfortably secluded in their Hollywood mansions.
“Big cultural shifts do not begin with treaties, laws and policies,” the father and son wrote. “They start on the ground and in the hearts of people. It is often said that if you capture hearts, minds will follow.”
“In this way, stories and narrative strategies can be uniquely powerful,” they added. “We hope to further this goal by making and supporting film and media projects that highlight stories of good citizenship and strong leadership.”
While the Redfords preach about the positives of coronavirus, the pandemic continues to kill hundreds of thousands of people all over the globe. This is a prime example of just how out of touch with reality the liberal elites of Hollywood have become. Only they are deranged enough to actually spin a deadly pandemic such as this one in a positive way.

Whether they made a mistake or whether it started off as a mistake and then they made another one or did somebody do something on purpose.”
Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell said Thursday that a probe is ongoing into Chinese actions related to the virus, “The entire Intelligence Community has been consistently providing critical support to U.S. policymakers and those responding to the COVID-19 virus, which originated in China. The Intelligence Community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not man-made or genetically modified.”
Not man-made. That means not a bioweapon gone awry. Yes, this is not a movie.
Said Grenell, “As we do in all crises, the Community’s experts respond by surging resources and producing critical intelligence on issues vital to U.S. national security. The IC will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.”
In related news, China’s economy contracted by 6.8 percent in the first quarter of 2020. That’s 2% higher than U.S. economic damage from the virus. The first quarter U.S. economic contraction stands at a serious 4.8%.

Fox News reports , “ In pursuit of information on Flynn , the ‘ Crossfire Hurricane ’ team investigating the Trump team ‘ conducted a check of logical databases for any derogatory information ’ on Flynn .

But Strzok had other plans .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-04-30--Biden VP-Vetting Group Full Of Hollywood And China

The group of Democrat players who have been chosen by Joe Biden to present him with viable choices for a running mate include a former senator who is now a Hollywood lobbyist and a member of Congress who has years of personal ties to China .
So much for the common touch .
In this time of Chinese perfidy over the coronavirus and the loathing of Hollywood by Middle America , Biden may rue their counsel .
The group includes former Senator Chris Dodd ( D-CT ) , Rep. Lisa Rochester ( D-DE ) , Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Said a Biden staffer , “ Selecting a vice presidential candidate is one of the most important decisions in a presidential campaign and no one knows this more than Joe Biden .
These four co-chairs reflect the strength and diversity of our party , and will provide tremendous insight and expertise to what will be a rigorous selection and vetting process .
We are grateful for their service to the campaign and for their leadership.
” Dodd left the Senate and became the CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America ( lobbyists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Rochester spent years in China , her husband worked there , and returned to this nation in 2012 .
Garcetti is a second generation high level member of L.A. politics .
Apparently the city government there is run on the hereditary system .
He is a Navy vet .
Hogan was an Obama assistant , then was handed off to Biden , then to Apple , then to the NFL , then back to Biden .
The process will be interesting , as many Democrat female pols want the job , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over crisis response and the economy .
Full well knowing of Biden ’ s issues on mental clarity and alleged sexual assault , some of them still likely think the VP slot is a fast ticket to the Oval Office .
It is reminiscent of the scenario behind the 1944 Democrat choice of Harry Truman as the VP nominee for F.D .
Roosevelt ’ s fourth term .
Roosevelt won , was inaugurated in January of 1945 , and died in April .
Truman then became president .

In this time of Chinese perfidy over the coronavirus and the loathing of Hollywood by Middle America, Biden may rue their counsel.

“Strength and diversity”? Translation: Quota system and aggrieved party festival.
Dodd left the Senate and became the CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America (lobbyists for Hollywood and the film industry). Rochester spent years in China, her husband worked there, and returned to this nation in 2012. Garcetti is a second generation high level member of L.A. politics. Apparently the city government there is run on the hereditary system. He is a Navy vet.
Hogan was an Obama assistant, then was handed off to Biden, then to Apple, then to the NFL, then back to Biden.
The process will be interesting, as many Democrat female pols want the job, as they assume they can beat the president over crisis response and the economy. Full well knowing of Biden’s issues on mental clarity and alleged sexual assault, some of them still likely think the VP slot is a fast ticket to the Oval Office. It is reminiscent of the scenario behind the 1944 Democrat choice of Harry Truman as the VP nominee for F.D. Roosevelt’s fourth term. Roosevelt won, was inaugurated in January of 1945, and died in April. Truman then became president.
