Christopher Nolan does something extraordinarily nervy in his overwhelming new film, The Odyssey. He has made as faithful a version of Homer’s poem as could possibly be made in the course of a three-hour running time—all while turning its worldview inside out.

An activist group in South Florida that has launched a campaign against the expansion of charter schools in Miami-Dade County and bills itself as a group of Miami moms fighting for your child’s right to read and learn is led by a disgraced Democratic operative with a rap sheet that includes shoplifting from a local Target store and a lengthy history of civil judgments. The post ‘Grassroots’ Organization Fighting Miami Charter School Expansion Is Led by Democratic Operative Arrested for Stealing From Target, Pocketing Proceeds of GoFundMe Campaign, and Stiffing Mom’s Nursing Home appeared first on .
Documentaries produced by California's first partner, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, promoting fringe views on gender have been shown to over 2.5 million K-12 students, with an accompanying lesson plan that forces teens to publicly disclose their sexual orientation to their peers and identify which of their classmates violate gender norms and may be labeled fags, pussies and nasty butches.

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D.) is distancing himself from the Democratic Socialists of America, insisting he is not technically or practically a member of the radical group. But El-Sayed has been a markedly enthusiastic DSA supporter for years as he rose through Michigan's progressive political scene, repeatedly appearing at socialist events, including headlining a 2019 DSA fundraiser at which the group's Detroit chapter called him a longtime friend.

Forget Lucy yanking the football out from under Charlie Brown. No matter how many times Jews are betrayed by their neighbors, they never cease to be surprised by those who turn against them.

Our country's long fascination with the Weather Underground—the terrorist group that came out of the New Left radical group, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)—evidently continues. Hollywood has been obsessed. In 1988 Sidney Lumet's Running on Empty—whose lead characters were based on the WU leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn—earned Naomi Foner an Oscar nomination for best screenplay. Then in 2012, director Robert Redford directed and acted in The Company You Keep. In press tours, Redford described the real WU as only a passionate anti-Vietnam war group. Finally, 2025's Academy Award for best feature film went to One Battle After Another, which depicts the remnants of a WU-type group, and whose title was taken from an actual WU communique issued by Bernardine Dohrn to its members.

The British obsession with the spies who worked for the Soviet Union from the 1930s until the early 1950s rivals the American fascination with the case of Alger Hiss. Recruited from Cambridge University, Kim Philby, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, and John Cairncross have been analyzed, interpreted, and puzzled over in scores of books and articles. How had Soviet intelligence agencies managed to suborn members of the country's elite, educated at its finest universities and entrusted with positions of power and influence? For years they betrayed their country, the organizations in which they worked, and many of their friends by transmitting secrets and confidential information to Joseph Stalin's totalitarian regime.

During the opening credits of About Last Night, we hear before we see two men having a conversation about a one-night stand. F-bombs proliferate, there is a crude, offhand discussion of female body parts, and a considerable amount of speculation about whether the female in question might, in fact, be a prostitute. Was she a pro? one man asks. You think she hadn’t been around? Hadn’t done the route? the other responds. The post REVIEW: ‘About Last Night’ appeared first on .
