It’s the ultimate virtue signal, and that’s saying something by Hollywood standards.
If Donald Trump wins on Election Day <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/20-stars-who-pledged-flee-country-trump-was-elected-are-they-945888/amy-schumer-9/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">I’m leaving</a> the country! That was the 2016 rally cry echoed by stars like Samuel L. Jackson, Cher, Amy Schumer, Lena Dunham, Whoopi Goldberg, Miley Cyrus and Snoop Dogg just before Trump&#8217;s improbable first term.
Spoiler alert. They stayed put. Or, as Schumer inelegantly put it, “just kidding!”
It quickly became a way to mock Celebrity Nation. Oh, you’re leaving if your preferred candidate doesn’t win on Election Day? Don’t let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you!
Mockery aside, the notion of a second Trump term coaxed some stars to make very similar complaints. The stars apparently either didn’t hear the ribbing that ensued the first time around or they didn’t care. Emotions run hot in Hollywood, so the latest election cycle found more celebrities vowing to flee should Kamala Harris’ word salad campaign fail to launch.

She told The Daily Mail in July she was planning a possible exit in a worst-case scenario.
&#8220;I am certainly considering a house in Italy…I think that’s an intelligent construct at this time. This is one of the first times in my life that I’ve actually seen anyone running for office on a platform of hate and oppression.&#8221;
We haven’t heard an update on her plans as of yet.

Barbra Streisand hedged her bets when she shared her post-election plans with “The Late Show” on CBS. She told far-Left host Stephen Colbert that she couldn’t keep living in America under a second Trump term, eyeing England as a possible destination.
We’re waiting for the moving trucks to circle her palatial estate.
Last year, Cher said this time she was seriously about leaving the USA should Trump defeat then-candidate President Joe Biden.
&#8220;I almost got an ulcer the last time. If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave [the country].&#8221;
He’s in. Again. We’ll have to wait and see if Cher’s word is her bond.

The second round of, “I’m leaving the country if Trump wins (again)” is less boisterous than the first. Plus, a tiny number of stars actually followed up on their pledge.
Sort of. To be fair, it’s … complicated.
Ellen DeGeneres, whose behind-the-scenes cruelty crushed her once-popular TV talk show, followed up on the generic, I’m gonna leave threat. She and her wife, “Arrested Development” alum Portia de Rossi, are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ellen-degeneres-reportedly-moves-to-england-after-trump-victory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moving to</a> England.

The press insinuated “Desperate Housewives” alum Eva Longoria also pulled up her stakes and moved following Trump’s victory. She could have leaned into the false narrative, gaining hipster points within her Hollywood community.
Longoria, to her credit, shared <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-a-proud-american-eva-longoria-strikes-new-tone-says-she-didnt-leave-country-over-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the real story</a> behind her move.
“I’ve been in Europe for almost three years… By the way, the article says that. People just grabbed some clickbait stuff to be divisive, which makes me so sad. Everything you say is just meant to be divisive when we can’t be that way right now.”
She <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14107845/Back-soon-Eva-Actress-returns-dystopian-Hollywood-party-moving-abroad-following-Donald-Trumps-election-victory.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also flew back</a> to California in recent days for an industry party.
Ironically, Longoria blasted <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/20/opinion/eva-longoria-moves-to-mexico-and-spain-but-us-will-be-ok/">California’s homeless issues and high taxes</a> as key reasons for her initial departure. Both fall heavily on the state’s one-party rule, not any Trump decisions.

Some stars are making good on their plans to leave, but it doesn’t mean their nation of origin. <a href="https://deadline.com/gallery/celebrities-who-have-left-x-twitter-election/filming-of-netflixs-upcoming-frankenstein-film-takes-place-in-edinburgh/">They’re fleeing X</a>, the Elon Musk platform which embraced free speech in recent years. It’s far easier to switch to a competing, albeit infinitely smaller, platform than actually selling one’s home and giving up what America offers the very rich and famous.
That ex-X list includes Stephen King, Bette Midler, Rob Reiner, Jamie Lee Curtis, Matthew Lillard, Alyssa Milano, Mark Hamill and Gabrielle Union. More may follow, including far-Left journalists like Jennifer Rubin of The Washington Post fame.

Most have settled into Bluesky, a newer platform that offers an X-like experience.
That <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2024/11/21/liberal-bluesky-social-media-platform-trump-era-x/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transition has been far from smooth</a>.
They, too, may eventually come back to the platform formally known as Twitter. Stars often threaten to leave or quit the social media giant before coming back sooner or later. <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/alec-baldwin-twitter-30-rock-nbc-american-airlines-280126/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alec Baldwin is a classic example.</a>
Newer platforms like Threads, dubbed the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/10/twitter-killer-threads-app-meta-mark-zuckerberg-elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter killer</a> in its early days, haven’t caught up with Musk’s digital baby. <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/10/04/metas-twitter-killer-brands-shun-threads-traffic-plunges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">That’s being kind.</a>
Then again, leaving X wasn’t healing enough for actor/auteur Rob Reiner. The “Misery” director left X, joined Bluesky but says he’s still so crushed by Trump’s victory that he’s <a href="https://thatparkplace.com/rob-reiner-checks-himself-into-a-facility-over-trump-election/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">checked into a “facility” for his mental health.</a>
The actor formerly known as Meathead may have found the smartest way to process Trump 2.0 for Hollywood progressives.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rob-reiner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rob Reiner</a> said he’s checking into a facility to find “peace and relaxation” after he left X for the Bluesky social media platform following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.
In a series of posts on Wednesday on <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:abhklfdwf5hfnjachaad5ugk/post/3lbgl4jfvsc2k?ref_src=embed&amp;ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.thewrap.com%252Frob-reiner-bluesky-maga-scum%252F">Bluesky</a>, the 77-year-old director accused what he called “MAGA scum” of coming over to the platform and ruining it after he and other Hollywood stars announced they had left Elon Musk’s X for the platform after Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris, <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/rob-reiner-bluesky-maga-scum/">the Wrap</a> reported.
“This platform is vile, racist and evil,” Reiner wrote. “It did not take long for MAGA scum to come spread their lies.”
“I have made the decision to take the next few days to check into a facility for peace and relaxation,” he <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:abhklfdwf5hfnjachaad5ugk/post/3lbgpvwshl22e?ref_src=embed&amp;ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.thewrap.com%252Frob-reiner-bluesky-maga-scum%252F">added</a> in a second post a short time later. “No phones, social media , no trolls, just calmness to heal my pain.”

Following the election, Reiner had celebrated making his new move to the platform after Trump won both the Electoral College and popular vote.
“I have decided to move here for a less hateful experience,” Reiner&#8217;s post read at the time.
The platform has seen a bump in users with many celebrities and members of the legacy media announcing their grand departure from X over Musk’s support of Trump in the election.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/msnbc-host-joy-reid-becomes-latest-lib-to-quit-x-following-trumps-triumph">MSNBC’s Joy Reid</a> recently wrote, “Hey guys, today I did something I&#8217;ve been meaning to do for a while.

“But, just having it there &#8211; I was only holding onto it because, I, you know, really didn&#8217;t want someone trying to take over that name and use it for nefarious purposes,” she added. “I was a little bit worried about that.”
“And also, every so often, I was just using it to look at news that was trending, what&#8217;s happening, and I just sort of used it as an aggregator,” Reid continued. “But I just realized it&#8217;s not really worth it. Because in order to do the news aggregation and just look at all, you have to wade through a lot of dreck and a lot of, just, abuse, and a lot of just, negativity. And it&#8217;s just not worth it.”
Former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/don-lemon-jamie-lee-curtis-announce-they-are-leaving-x-following-trump-victory">CNN host Don Lemon</a> and actress Jamie Lee Curtis also made the announcement about leaving X after the election.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/don-lemon">Lemon</a> claimed it’s no longer a place for “honest” debate after Trump won and wrote that he has “loved connecting with all of you on Twitter and then on X for all of these years, but it’s time for me to leave the platform.”
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/don-lemon-jamie-lee-curtis-announce-they-are-leaving-x-following-trump-victory">The Hollywood actress</a> joined him in announcing on Instagram that she had left the X platform, without giving a specific reason why she made the decision, following Trump’s victory.
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,” Curtis wrote on Instagram. “Courage to change the things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference.”

U.S.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rob-reiner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rob Reiner</a> got torched for claiming that it’s the &#8220;end of the rule of law&#8221; after a judge dismissed former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case.
On Monday, District Court Judge Aileen Cannon, who was nominated to her position by Trump, <a href="https://x.com/alexsalvinews/status/1812849238142808471">said</a> Special Counsel Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel of the case was unconstitutional, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-dismisses-trump-classified-documents-case">reported</a>.
Following the decision, the 77-year-old Hollywood filmmaker and actor took to <a href="https://x.com/robreiner/status/1812857003443957835">X</a> and wrote, “With Judge Cannon’s dismissal of the Trump stolen documents case, we’re seeing the beginning of the end of the Rule of Law in America.”

In response, social media followers had a field day reacting to his post. 
“No, we saw the end of the rule of law when they raided a former president’s private residence with clearance to use deadly force,” one person <a href="https://x.com/DefiyantlyFree/status/1812883903465591012">wrote</a>.
“We saw the rule of law end when Jack Smith admitted in a court filing to tampering with evidence and the FBI admitted to staging a photo opportunity, they then leaked to the press,” the person added.
Another person <a href="https://x.com/Jerry__Grey/status/1812867696674918503">wrote</a> sarcastically, “It is the &#8216;end of the Rule of Law in America&#8217; if a judge rules in a way Rob Reiner disagrees with.”
One follower <a href="https://x.com/saveurskinRF/status/1812891080251109509">suggested</a> that the judge’s decision is not an example of the “beginning of the end of The Rule of Law in America” but was instead “The Rule of Law in action in America.”
Another person <a href="https://x.com/KeithBurgin/status/1812858123830575338">replied</a> to the actor and wrote, “Rob Reiner on how upholding the Constitution is a threat to &#8230; the, uh, Constitution.”
While a third person <a href="https://x.com/russ62960450/status/1812915929455657228">wrote</a> sarcastically, “Replace “Rule of Law” with politically motivated lawfare with the intent to bankrupt” and I’m totally with you, Buddy.  So close!! I feel unity in the air.”
Following Cannon’s decision, Trump took to Truth Social and <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112791026080012056">declared,</a> “this dismissal of the Lawless Indictment in Florida should be just the first step, followed quickly by the dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts.”
The dismissal comes less than 48 hours after a shooter attempted to assassinate the former president on Saturday during his rally in Pennsylvania. The shooting injured Trump and left one of his supporters dead along with injuring two others.

Rob Reiner Torched For Saying It’s The ‘End Of The Rule Of Law’ After Trump Classified Docs Case Is Dismissed

Rob Reiner Torched After Saying ‘It’s End Of Rule Of Law’ After Trump Classified Doc Case Dismissed

Courts

Politics

It would be easy enough to dismiss the actions and opinions of Hollywood stars, especially when it comes to politics. But doing so ignores the enormous influence celebrities have over a shocking number of voters. And it completely ignores the deep pockets of multi-millionaire movie stars. These people – who overwhelmingly vote Democrat – host fundraisers, hype fans, and hold sway especially over their young adult fans.
Like it or not, Hollywood’s opinion can affect an election. The latest twist in this saga is that many A-listers are turning on President Biden, demanding that he end his reelection bid or even resign as president right now.
This idea has been gaining traction ever since Biden’s disastrous debate performance against rival candidate Donald Trump last month. Now Left-leaning mainstream media outlets are openly questioning Biden’s ability to perform. Many Democrat politicians are also sounding the alarm.
One of the most shocking “et tu, Brute?” moments comes courtesy of major Dem donor George Clooney. Just weeks after headlining a major fundraiser for Biden’s campaign, the “Ocean’s 11” star published an op-ed in The New York Times detailing how even though he “love[s]” Biden, he believes it’s time for a replacement candidate.
<div id="attachment_762691" style="width: 942px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-762691" class="size-large wp-image-762691" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/07/GettyImages-1841169298-932x576.jpg" alt="US actor George Clooney attends the LA premiere of Amazon MGM Studios' &quot;The Boys in the boat&quot; at the Samuel Goldwyn theatre in Beverly Hills, California, December 11, 2023.

“I love Joe Biden,” Clooney wrote in the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/10/opinion/joe-biden-democratic-nominee.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">piece</a> published on July 10. “As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals. In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced.”
He continued, “But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can. It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal‘ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”
Clooney went on to highlight the debate performance as a major turning point.
“Was he tired? Yes. A cold? Maybe. But our party leaders need to stop telling us that 51 million people didn’t see what we just saw,” the Hollywood A-lister shared. “We’re all so terrified by the prospect of a second Trump term that we’ve opted to ignore every warning sign.”
The actor insisted that his decision to stop backing Biden is “about age” and “nothing more.”
“We are not going to win in November with this president,” Clooney wrote. “On top of that, we won’t win the House, and we’re going to lose the Senate…We love to talk about how the Republican Party has ceded all power, and all of the traits that made it so formidable with Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, to a single person who seeks to hold on to the presidency, and yet most of our members of Congress are opting to wait and see if the dam breaks.”
“But the dam has broken,” he went on. “We can put our heads in the sand and pray for a miracle in November, or we can speak the truth.”
Clooney isn’t the only Hollywood star openly demanding that Biden bow out.

“It’s time to stop f***ing around. If the Convicted Felon wins, we lose our Democracy. Joe Biden has effectively served US with honor, decency, and dignity. It’s time for Joe Biden to step down,” he wrote.
“Say Anything” actor John Cusack chimed in with his reply, agreeing with the Hollywood director. “There has been no bigger supporter of Biden’s domestic policy than Rob &#8211; he’s right,” he <a href="https://x.com/johncusack/status/1810286638477586528?prefetchTimestamp=1720640647514" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.
According to a CNN report, Reiner attended a debate watch party in Los Angeles and was “screaming about losing” while fellow leftist Jane Fonda “had tears in her eyes.”
Avowed Left-wing author Stephen King is another person publicly calling on Biden to step aside and allow someone else to become the nominee.
“Joe Biden has been a fine president, but it’s time for him—in the interests of the America he so clearly loves—to announce he will not run for re-election,” King <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leftist-author-stephen-king-says-biden-should-bow-out-of-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> on X.
“Even Stephen King is voting for Donald Trump!” Elon Musk joked in a reply.
Actor Michael Douglas didn’t specifically ask for Biden to bow out, but he did tell the audience of “The View” that he’s &#8220;deeply, deeply concerned.&#8221; The two-time Academy Award winner also hosted a fundraiser for Biden earlier this year.
Progressive filmmaker Michael Moore published his thoughts on his website, advising the current president not to “let your enablers hound you into doing what your body is begging you not to do.”

Moore further <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/07/michael-moore-calls-for-joe-biden-to-step-aside-1236003910/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expanded on</a> his opinion during an episode of his podcast, saying Biden’s participation in the debate was “the cruelest form of elder abuse I’ve ever been forced to watch…Who would send an 81-year-old out onto any stage to debate a living monster at nine o’clock at night for a brawl that would not end until 10:42 p.m.?”
The “Sicko” filmmaker took it one step further, offering his suggestion for a replacement: Vice President Kamala Harris. 
“Be the one who not only stopped Trump, but also the brave man who gave us our first woman in the Oval Office,” he said on the show. “She will complete your mission — and we will stand beside her.”
It’s not just celebrities saying it. Other members of the Hollywood community, like Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, are echoing that idea.
&#8220;Biden needs to step aside to allow a vigorous Democratic leader to beat Trump and keep us safe and prosperous,&#8221; he wrote in an email to The New York Times.
Abigail Disney, heiress to the Disney fortune, said the same. &#8220;This is realism, not disrespect,&#8221; Disney said during an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-heiress-other-major-dem-donors-dump-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with CNBC</a> earlier this month. &#8220;Biden is a good man and has served his country admirably, but the stakes are far too high.&#8221;
Critically, the heiress said she would withhold further donations to the Democratic party until Biden is replaced.

Readers Pass

Outspoken Democrat donor and leftist activist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rob-reiner">Rob Reiner</a> said he’s ready for President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a> to step aside. 
The 77-year-old actor and filmmaker shared his thoughts in an X <a href="https://x.com/robreiner/status/1809982004479533307">post</a> on Sunday afternoon. “It’s time to stop f***ing around. If the Convicted Felon wins, we lose our Democracy. Joe Biden has effectively served US with honor, decency, and dignity. It’s time for Joe Biden to step down,” he wrote.
Reiner did not specify if he wants Biden to resign immediately or to end his bid for re-election. 
This course reversal comes after the Hollywood activist spent years championing Biden as an excellent president and hosting fundraisers to help his campaign. “Screw politics. Screw poll numbers. Joe Biden has a record of accomplishments in the first two years of his Presidency that has gone unmatched for almost 60 years,” Reiner <a href="https://x.com/robreiner/status/1553037632778690563">tweeted</a> in 2022.
The change seems to stem from Biden’s abysmal debate performance last month. According to a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/30/politics/democratic-party-replacement-worries-joe-biden/index.html">CNN</a> report, the Hollywood director attended a watch party in Los Angeles and was “screaming about losing” while fellow leftist Jane Fonda &#8220;had tears in her eyes.&#8221; 
Even so, Reiner <a href="https://x.com/robreiner/status/1806818548976889974">posted</a> on June 28 that he was still in Biden&#8217;s corner. “Last night’s debate was a disaster for President Biden. But the choice is still crystal clear: We either can choose a good decent man who cares about his fellow citizens and knows how to govern, or a Convicted Felon who will destroy our Democracy. Not a tough choice.” 
Reiner is perhaps best known for his role as Mike Stivic in the classic sitcom All in the Family. Throughout the series, Reiner&#8217;s character was called &#8220;meathead&#8221; by his father-in-law, Archie Bunker.
Many Hollywood donors have also abandoned the campaign, vowing to stop sending money to the Democrats if Biden refuses to withdraw from the race.
“With all the text chains I’m on, people are basically like, ‘If he doesn’t drop out, we’re not giving any more money to Democrats or the Democratic Party.’ It’s like super intense,” one donor told <a href="https://variety.com/2024/biz/news/hollywood-democrats-panic-biden-debate-1236056752/">Variety</a> shortly after the disastrous debate.
As of this morning, Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-tells-congressional-dems-he-is-firmly-committed-to-staying-in-this-race">sent a letter</a> to Democratic lawmakers reasserting that he is “firmly committed to staying in this race.&#8221;

Even ‘Meathead’ Rob Reiner Says ‘It’s Time For Joe Biden To Step Down’

Major Dem Donor Rob Reiner Says 'It's Time For Joe Biden To Step Down'

Democrat

A publication (which will remain nameless) that used to cover me quite frequently recently and abruptly stopped. After looking into it, I found out that there had effectively been a ban put on my name — an internal embargo of sorts. Of course, I was curious as to why? What exactly did I do to, all of a sudden, deserve a ban? As I came to find out, they claim that I am a “Christian nationalist.”
Now, I am a proud Christian, but I thought it was a bit strange that a media hit was put on me for the sole reason of being a Christian — because my show is not overtly Christian. There would be nothing wrong with that, but we&#8217;re not exactly praying on the show (though maybe we should be, considering everything that&#8217;s happening in society).
Regardless, I’m not sure I have any problem with either of those terms. I definitely consider myself to be a nationalist, and I am also a Christian. However, they’re saying it in a much more sinister way. If you’re paying attention, “Christian nationalist” is everywhere as of late. Suddenly, Christianity is being smeared, libeled, and attacked. It is being presented in the same vein as white supremacy.
In February alone, major media outlets published numerous headlines about Christian nationalism. <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/what-is-christian-nationalism-and-why-it-raises-concerns-about-threats-to-democracy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PBS</a> published “What is Christian nationalism and why it raises concerns about threats to democracy,” <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/02/28/poll-christian-nationalism-americans-reject" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Axios</a> published “Poll: Most Americans cool to Christian nationalism as its influence grows” (apparently we’re now conducting polls and saying Christian nationalism is influential), <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/02/28/1234304058/christian-nationalism-survey#:~:text=Christian%20nationalism's%20support%20is%20strongest%20in%20rural%20states%20A%20new,as%20Alabama%20and%20West%20Virginia." target="_blank" rel="noopener">NPR</a> published “Christian nationalism’ support is strongest in rural, conservative states,” and the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/01/opinion/christian-nationalism.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a> published “Four Ways of Looking at Christian Nationalism.”
Those all came out within just the last month.
This topic is also getting the Hollywood spin, so, now, it will be pumped through our television screens. After all, once the propaganda goes out, it must get the Hollywood treatment. Apparently, the man for that job is Rob Reiner. Reiner is directing a new documentary titled “God and Country,” which puts Christian nationalism in America under the spotlight. On his press tour, one of his stops was CNN, and in <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2024/01/30/exp-amanpour-rob-reiner-god--country-intw-013001pseg2-cnni-world.cnn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his interview</a>, Christiane Amanpour asked Reiner why he selected Christian nationalism as his next film topic. He responded saying that over time, he has come to see how powerful and well-organized the movement has become: “I then realized that this [movement] has taken root far more and far more deeply than I had ever thought.” Reiner believes Christian nationalism is deeply embedded in society — and believes that’s a problem.
Now, I’m sure when you consider the myriad of issues facing our country today, what you’re really concerned about is that there might be some Christians who are also in love with our country. They are Christian nationalists. When you see drug dealers, illegal immigrants, crime rates, gang violence, I’m sure you’re thinking, it’s the Christians we should be afraid of. It’s an absurd idea.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-296-holy-smokes-the-media-just-put-a-hit-on-me" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h4>
I believe this is a further attempt to divide and brainwash Christians, which is something that has gone on for decades.
Once upon a time, the Bible was taught in classrooms all across the United States, and teachers and students prayed in school. Then lawsuits were filed and all that went away, beginning in the 1960s. Since then, there has been a concerted effort to divide Christians, to make them feel embarrassed about their religion. That push just continues with more force; that is exactly what is happening again with the topic of Christian nationalism.
Hollywood is notorious for supporting initiatives like this. Believe it or not, they’re even going after Justin Bieber. Bieber, as we all know, was young and innocent when he came onto the scene, so he had much potential to be a victim of evil in the industry. Granted, he went through an intense period of partying, but in 2018, he married Hailey Baldwin — and his world completely changed. He dropped the party-boy reputation, changed his ways, and started attending church. This was and still is not the kind of story that usually circulates in Hollywood.
Hollywood has never been a fan of Christianity, so church-going people in the industry simply cannot be allowed. That makes Justin’s pastor’s post on the internet no surprise. Victor Marx took to social media to make a somewhat unusual, though understandable, request, asking for Christians to pray for wisdom and protection for Justin and Hailey, for them to draw close to the Lord, because people in the limelight often face “spiritual warfare.” Hailey’s dad, Stephen, shared the post which caused more questions in the comments. He has since deleted the post, and though we don’t know more details, it is obvious that there is some kind of spiritual battle happening.
It seems that every time we get a glimpse of truth, forces unite and more evil occurs. I cannot imagine the pressure Justin is facing, and I am sure that the evil he has experienced and witnessed in the industry is weighing heavier and heavier on his heart, especially since he has strengthened his relationship with God over the years.
So, to any person going through this type of conflict, know that Christians will stand by you if and when you are ready to share the truth. We will be there with you. We will pray for you — and the entire world. Plus, people who are not Christians will thank you, even if silently, because they know that if Christians are being considered evil, something very sinister is going on.
Pay attention, pray, and encourage each other. If we can unite in our faith, we can conquer more evil together than we can alone.

Critics slammed actor and director Rob Reiner after he announced his newest project — a film called &#8220;God &amp; Country&#8221; — decrying the alleged clear and present &#8220;danger&#8221; presented by Christian Nationalism.
Reiner shared the trailer for the film, which &#8220;explores right-wing religious extremism and the danger it poses to both the United States and Christianity itself,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/rob-reiner-christian-nationalism-god-country-trailer-1235728186/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a>.
&#8220;Christian Nationalism is not only a danger to our Country, it’s a danger to Christianity itself. Our film will be coming to theaters In February. Watch the trailer here,&#8221; Reiner posted via X.
https://twitter.com/robreiner/status/1732884566879461422
But critics viewed the film as proof that Reiner &#8220;doth protest too much,&#8221; arguing that the &#8220;documentary&#8221; was just a convenient excuse for him to attack both Christians and conservatives in one fell swoop.
&#8220;Is this like a funny Spinal Tap mockumentary? If so it&#8217;s brilliant,&#8221; The Babylon Bee&#8217;s Kyle Mann posted on X.

Director <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rob-reiner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rob Reiner</a> got destroyed on Twitter over a viral tweet about gun control following two <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ca-gov-gavin-newsom-the-second-amendment-is-becoming-a-suicide-pact-amid-two-mass-shootings-in-his-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mass shootings</a> in California.

&#8220;The only way to stop a bad person with a gun is to stop bad gun industry loving lawmakers at the ballot box,&#8221; Reiner tweeted.

At the time of his publication, his post has been viewed 2 million times.
Many commenters had a field day with the director, noting that California is one of the strictest states when it comes to gun control, and that didn&#8217;t stop the shootings.
&#8220;I know it&#8217;s about time California passed some gun laws,&#8221; one person wrote.

66th Annual Directors Guild Of America Awards – Show

Rob Reiner Gets Destroyed Over Viral Tweet About How To ‘Stop A Bad Person With A Gun’

Gun Control

Celebrities have been political for decades.
Remember when Marlon Brando sent Native American Sacheen Littlefeather to decline his Oscar for “The Godfather?” How about when Michael Moore used his Best Documentary Oscar speech to blast President George W. Bush in 2003?
That was just a taste of the New Normal. Today’s stars are hyper-political, almost always in unison with the progressive playbook. They vent on social media, in magazine profiles, and, of course, from awards show stages.
A few stars go beyond those virtue signals. They seemingly live and breathe political banter, using every opportunity to rage against the GOP. And you can blame some, if not most, of it on a certain real estate mogul.
<h3>Rob Reiner </h3>
The man affectionately known as Meathead from “All in the Family” became one of Hollywood’s best directors after leaving the CBS sitcom.
“This Is Spinal Tap.” “Stand By Me.” “The Princess Bride.” “Misery.” “A Few Good Men.” “When Harry Met Sally.”
Few modern directors can match that resume.
These days, he directs flops (“Shock and Awe;” “And So It Goes”) in between having raging fits against former President Donald Trump on every platform possible. His most embarrassing moment? He used the death of his father, comedy icon Carl Reiner, <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/rob-reiner-father-hoped-live-205216941.html">to target Trump</a>.
His August appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” found him <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/08/29/maher_media_buried_the_hunter_biden_story_because_they_couldnt_risk_having_trump_win_the_election.html">unable to answer a direct question</a> from the affable host about the media burying the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. He couldn’t abandon his progressive talking points and looked foolish in the process.
His next project could, in theory, put an end to his cinematic cold streak. He’s directing a sequel to the classic mockumentary “This Is Spinal Tap.” Will his Trump derangement enter the frame? Would anyone bet against it?
<h3>Chelsea Handler</h3>
The former E! superstar left the channel to join Netflix’s team, but she eventually decided to become a full-time activist. Why? Politics gnawed at her, and she figured she’d be more effective as an activist than a talk show host.
Or, perhaps, her Netflix series drew terrible ratings, and she left before she got canned.
Either way, she’s transformed her shtick from bawdy blasts from her boudoir to lectures about so-called <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chelsea-handler-donald-trump-white-privilege_n_5d8301e8e4b0957256b11476">white privilege</a>. She even said white males are the <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/chelsea-handler-white-men-woke-comedy/">only “approved” target</a> for comedians today.
She did much more than overhaul her act, though. She sauntered in several women’s marches, ignored politicians accused of sexual misconduct if they had a “D” in front of their names, and demanded racially-charged jokes become illegal in the U.S. &#8211; while ignoring <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/chelsea-handler-ripped-hypocrite-condemning-jokes-racism-153019877.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall">her own “criminal” past</a> on the matter.
In between political broadsides, Handler discusses the progress <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/chelsea-handler-47-says-therapy-gave-her-the-self-awareness-she-needed-to-fall-in-love-with-jo-koy-145856232.html">she’s made in therapy</a> following the Trump era.
<h3>Ron Perlman</h3>
The character actor landed the role of a lifetime as Clay, the head of the “Sons of Anarchy” motorcycle club. That FX series showcased Perlman’s range and ability to project anger on screen.
Over and again.
We’ve gotten a taste of that off-screen, too, ever since Trump took office. Perlman became obsessed with the 45th president, turning his Twitter feed into a round-the-clock, anti-Trump showcase.
His most embarrassing Tweet? He said he’d <a href="https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/ron-perlman-trump-twitter-resistance/">risk death to dethrone Trump.</a>
Perlman never stops working – his IMDB page is chock-full of soon-to-be released titles. His political fires still burn, however, despite a new president inhabiting the White House. Trump Derangement is a permanent part of his psyche, alas, and chances are his TV is permanently set to MSNBC.
<h3>Alyssa Milano</h3>
The 40-something actress landed not one but two beloved shows – “Who’s the Boss” and “Charmed.” These days, she’s more activist than actor. Her podcast, “Sorry, Not Sorry,” lets her weigh in on the latest political headlines, and she’s equally vocal with social media, particularly her 3.6 million strong Twitter account.
Her cause celebre? Women’s rights … except when they overlap with her progressive pals. She became one of Hollywood’s #MeToo warriors, but she initially laid low when former Biden staffer Tara Reade accused the now-president of sexually molesting her in 1993.
Milano finally commented on the ugly charge, saying her “Believe All Women” mantra came with an asterisk.
She similarly softened her hard-charging approach when 11 women charged New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexually inappropriate behavior as well as when the group Time’s Up, which was established to protect women, couldn’t rally on their behalf.
Fellow “Charmed” alum <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/rose-mcgowan-slams-alyssa-milano-joe-biden-times-up-ceo-cuomo-sex-scandal">Rose McGowan called Milano’s blazing hypocrisy</a> out on the matter, &#8220;Milano, TimesUp, fake performatives and profiteers. Alyssa&#8217;s statement at the time was gaslighting in full effect. She said of my truth telling ‘Hurt people hurt people.’ No, Alyssa, it&#8217;s lizard people like you, SDK Knickerbocker, Gov Cuomo, the Pres, Tina Chen who hurt people. Your time is up. Exit stage left.”
<h3>Jennifer Lawrence</h3>
What’s a sure sign you’ve let politics get the best of you? You throw your immediate family under the bus in a fawning magazine profile.
That’s exactly what this “Hunger Games” star did when talking up her next movie at Vogue Magazine. Lawrence said she tried and tried to forgive her right-leaning family for not aligning with her progressive views.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-shapiro-reads-vogues-jennifer-lawrence-interview-and-it-makes-him-jealous-of-tucker-carlson">She just couldn’t do it.</a>
Even more alarming? She admitted to having nightmares about Tucker Carlson, the Fox News superstar.
<h3>Amy Schumer</h3>
Schumer took a page out of Handler’s woke playbook in transforming her once-blazing career. Now, her movies do little damage at the box office, and she’s relegated to small screen gigs like “Life &amp; Beth,” which barely moved the pop culture needle.
Why? She used her “Inside Amy Schumer” showcase to promote <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amy-schumer-drops-new-anti-gun-sketch-chase-stephens">progressive causes like gun control</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amy-schumer-protesting-nfl-says-she-wont-do-any-emily-zanotti">got herself arrested</a> for protesting Supreme Court justices under the flimsiest of sex abuse allegations, and then boycotted the NFL for not employing failed quarterback Colin Kaepernick. She essentially cut her potential audience in half with her hard-left politics, and she’s no longer the industry’s go-to comedienne.
Her tepid co-hosting gig at the recent Oscars ceremony showed anew her best comic days are behind her. That won’t stop her activism, though.

Over The Edge: Six Stars Swallowed Whole By Politics (And You Can Blame Trump)

Amy Schumer

Jennifer Lawrence

Leftism

The liberal press buried the Hunter Biden laptop story in late 2020 to help get President Biden elected, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bill-maher" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bill Maher</a> told a skeptical fellow liberal Friday on his “Real Time” show.
Maher, who has increasingly been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-maher-gives-unexpected-defense-of-florida-governor-ron-desantis-from-left-wing-political-attacks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling out the Left</a> for hypocrisy, told liberal actor and director <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-rich-torches-rob-reiner-after-actor-worries-who-musk-will-allow-back-on-twitter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rob Reiner</a> that not only was the laptop the genuine article, but it showed that the soon-to-be president’s son was selling influence to foreign governments. The mainstream press took part in a plot to hide the story from the public, he said.
&#8220;Is it okay to have a conspiracy to get rid of Trump?&#8221; Maher said. &#8220;They were talking about Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop, which was a story and now all the mainstream press has finally admitted it was a real story. It was a real laptop.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Outlets like The Washington Post and CNN initially dismissed the story as Russian disinformation only to acknowledge the laptop’s authenticity well after the election. The New York Post, which broke the story, was vilified and locked off of Twitter, and Facebook boss <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mark-zuckerberg">Mark Zuckerberg</a> admitted this week that his company suppressed the story at the behest of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi">FBI</a>.
&#8220;Let’s not pussyfoot around this; he was selling the influence of his father, Joe Biden,” Maher said. “Most political sons do, but let&#8217;s not pretend at least that was going on. Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop was buried by the press.”
Photos, videos, emails, and text messages on the abandoned laptop paint the president’s son as a drug-addled, venal degenerate and raise troubling questions about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-spoke-with-hunter-about-dealings-with-chinese-oil-tycoon-voicemail-reveals">President Joe Biden’s own role in his son’s corrupt dealings</a>.

Ron Johnson telling DOJ officials multiple <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/evidence-of-fbi-meddling-in-2020-election-mounts-after-zuckerbergs-hunter-biden-laptop-revelation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FBI whistleblowers have come forward</a> to say bureau brass barred them from investigating the laptop, which the FBI had had for nearly a year before the election.
Maher noted influential Leftist atheist author <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/author-admits-hed-ignore-hunter-biden-having-corpses-of-children-in-his-basement-to-keep-trump-from-winning" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sam Harris’s recent declaration</a> that ignoring stories that could have hurt Biden was justified in order to prevent Trump from being re-elected.
“Sam Harris says it was appropriate for Twitter, and the heads of Big Tech, and the heads of journalistic organizations to feel that they were in the presence of something that is a once-in-a-lifetime moral emergency, meaning Trump,” Maher said. “So he&#8217;s saying it&#8217;s okay to have a conspiracy, to get rid of somebody as bad as Trump.&#8221;
A flummoxed Reiner, who famously played Archie Bunker’s liberal foil “Meathead” on the 1970s sitcom “All in the Family,” tried to change the subject to the January 6 riots.
&#8220;You know what&#8217;s not justified?” Reiner demanded. “Using armed violence to try to kill people in the Capitol. That&#8217;s not justified.&#8221;
&#8220;Answer this question!&#8221; Maher replied. &#8220;The question is, was it appropriate to bury the Hunter Biden [laptop story]?&#8221;
&#8220;And we know for a fact that that&#8217;s what they did?&#8221; Reiner shot back.
&#8220;Of course!&#8221; Maher said. &#8220;You don&#8217;t follow this?&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what they did,&#8221; Reiner replied.
&#8220;I know because you only watch MSNBC,&#8221; Maher said.

Media Bias

Hollywood and political commentators took to Twitter on Wednesday to react to Rep. Liz Cheney&#8217;s (R-WY) loss Tuesday night in the state&#8217;s GOP congressional primary.
Stars and personalities like Rob Reiner, Patricia Arquette, Dan Rather and more suggested in their tweets that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/liz-cheney">Cheney&#8217;s loss</a> to the candidate backed by former President Donald Trump, Harriet Hageman, signals trouble for Republican Party and the country.
&#8220;Liz Cheney&#8217;s overwhelming loss makes it abjectly clear,&#8221; Reiner&#8217;s message read. &#8220;The Republican Party has abandoned American Democracy in fealty to a Sociopathic Criminal.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;The fact that Liz Cheney got 35 percent of the vote should scare the [crap] out of Republicans who think Trump would have a chance in 2024,&#8221; Arquette tweeted to her millions of followers.

Disgraced former CBS News anchor Dan Rather tweeted that, &#8220;If Liz Cheney is defeated today, as expected, I would not frame it as her losing. It is a loss for Wyoming, the Republican Party, and the nation.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
On Tuesday, Meghan McCain said that Cheney &#8220;should be commended no matter what happens today.&#8221;
Actor Alec Baldwin went so far as to label Cheney the &#8220;American Navalny,&#8221; referencing jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, calling her a &#8220;hero&#8221; in a video he shared on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ChVA22JuBuM/">Instagram</a> before the loss was officially declared.
&#8220;Who is the American Navalny,&#8221; Baldwin asked, before answering his own question. &#8220;Liz Cheney reminds me of Navalny.&#8221; He also said she did what she had to do because &#8220;morally&#8221; she risked &#8220;it all&#8221; career wise to &#8220;tell the truth.&#8221;
He captioned his post, &#8220;Liz Cheney is a bipartisan hero…&#8221;
However, not every star and political commentator felt the same.
Fox News&#8217; Brit Hume made a case that Cheney is not clearly understanding her loss, suggesting it wasn&#8217;t all about the former president.
&#8220;I wonder if things might have turned out differently for Liz Cheney if she&#8217;d used her seat on the 1/6 committee to insist on cross-examination of witnesses and a chance for the defense to present its side,&#8221; Hume tweeted to his million plus followers.

&#8220;Instead she led the charge for an utterly one-sided presentation,&#8221; he added.
<a href="https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1559858424963366912">Daily Wire&#8217;s Ben Shapiro tweeted</a> that the representative &#8220;fundamentally misunderstands&#8221; why people are &#8220;so passionately angry at her inside the GOP base.&#8221;
&#8220;She said last night that winning &#8216;would&#8217;ve required that I go along with President Trump’s lie about the 2020 election. It would&#8217;ve required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic,'&#8221; Shapiro wrote. &#8220;That&#8217;s not true.&#8221;
&#8220;Winning simply would have required her not to act as a front person for a Democratic committee dedicated to lumping together all Republicans and conservatives with January 6 rioters, and suggesting that anyone who would consider voting Trump 2024 is an incipient fascist,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;Did Glenn Youngkin go along with the idea that Trump won the 2020 election?&#8221; Shapiro continued. &#8220;Did he &#8216;go along with ongoing efforts&#8217; to undermine the republic? How about Dan Crenshaw in Texas? What they didn&#8217;t do is act as enthusiastic participants in a broader Democratic and media agenda.&#8221;
Actor Kevin Sorbo told his followers that, &#8220;Honestly, [Liz Cheney] and [Beto O&#8217;Rourke] 
should team up in 2024 so they can lose together and save voters the time.&#8221;

Liz Cheney just lost her Wyoming congressional seat by nearly 40 points and compared herself to Abraham Lincoln in her concession speech. She’s truly gone insane. <a href="https://t.co/T0DlPBsF2K">pic.twitter.com/T0DlPBsF2K</a>
