The Interview: Juvenile Crap w/ Some Funny Lines

By Debbie Schlussel

Reader I Am Me warned me it was bad. “It’s AWFUL. It may be the worst movie I have ever seen,” he wrote me. He paid to watch the controversial “The Interview” online, “out of some probably misplaced sense of patriotism.” I went to a theater to see it, last night.

theinterview







It’s not a great movie. In fact, I agree with him that it’s somewhat crappy, although I’ve seen many far worse movies just this year, and I didn’t hate it as much as he did. It’s a low-rent movie with a lot of silliness and juvenile, crass, gross humor–the kind that appeals to teens and 20-somethings raised on a steady diet of MTV’s “Teen Moms” and assorted Kardashian Kartrashian. I’m surprised it actually cost $40 million to make because it looks more like a $4 million (or less) budget movie.

But I thought it was very funny. I will be the first to admit that I went to the movie ready to laugh, and that makes a huge difference. I laughed a lot, especially during the first third or half of the movie, probably more than anyone else in the theater where I saw it.

But the movie isn’t just a crude, low-humor vehicle for Seth Rogen and James Franco. It made a lot of good points about the low taste of America, these days. Rogen plays a serious journalist stuck producing Franco’s celebrity-culture interview show. Rogen longs to do serious stuff and be taken seriously by his colleagues at other journalism outlets. But Franco argues with him that Americans want this kind of low-brow celebrity culture. He says that the American TV-viewing public is constantly saying, “Gimme s–t, gimme s–t!” To me, that’s spot on. If it weren’t, TMZ wouldn’t have soared to become THE influential “news” source in America in just a few years. And if it weren’t true, the Kardashians would be working minimum wage jobs sweeping up hair at a salon, instead of multi-million dollar annual earners, famous for being famous.

Christmas Box Office: Unbroken, The Imitation Game, Big Eyes, Into the Woods, The Gambler

By Debbie Schlussel

And the end of a bad year in new movies goes out with a whimper. The only one of the movies, new in theaters yesterday, that I liked was the gay WWII hero movie. And even that was all relative in a year of really shabby movies. Oh, and by the way, those who claim “patriotism” got snubbed because neither “Unbroken” nor “American Sniper” got nominated for any awards–well, they are dead wrong. I myself did not vote for either of these in any category, as a member of the Detroit Film Critics Society, and–at least with regard to “Unbroken”–here’s why:

unbrokenimitationgame

bigeyesintothewoods

thegambler

* “Unbroken“: You would think that a movie about an American World War II hero and patriot would be right up my alley (you would be right about that) and that I would love this movie, but you would be wrong. It would be very difficult for any director to screw up a movie about the inspiring, incredible life story of Louis Zamperini. But Angelina Jolie managed to bleep it up. Gone is the amazing, uplifting story depicted in the book of the same name. In its place, Jolie produces a long, boring, formulaic, stilted, distracting mess. I received the DVD screener for this movie a month ago. I was excited to watch it, but it was so slow and herky-jerky that I had to watch it in 15 minute installments, since it didn’t keep my attention. Read the rest of this entry »

Merry Christmas 2014 to My Christian Friends & Readers

By Debbie Schlussel

Merry Christmas to all of my Christian readers and friends. I wish you a very joyous and merry Christmas with family, friends, and everything that you wish for. I hope you are enjoying the holiday.

rabbisantatogether.jpg

Even though I believe very strongly in my own religion and I am not Christian (nor do I believe in Christ), I am thankful that, for now, America’s strong Christian tradition remains. With G-d’s* help and prerogative, it is the only thing that keeps us from becoming a Muslim nation. Like you, I want to continue to practice my religion freely and for that to be the case for my fellow co-religionists and yours. As I’ve said so many times before on this site, even though I do not espouse Christianity and am a proud, observant Jew, I do believe that America has resisted becoming a Muslim nation thus far because of its strong Christian heritage and the fact that the majority of Americans still identify as Christians. That is and has always been the backbone and at the forefront of America’s traditional values. People like Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, and the supporters of Hezbollah (and HAMAS) in Dearbornistan, Minneapolistan, and elsewhere on our soil have one thing in common: they do not go to church and they do not believe in our common Judeo-Christian values, traditions, and heritage. And those of them who do “celebrate” Christmas do so in commercialism and going-through-the-motions only. Not in faith.

Most of my Christian friends–even if they do not attend Church regularly but do believe in certain tenets of faith and morality–are supporters of Israel and see jihad all over the world for what it is: Islamic evil (redundant phrase) torturing, raping, mass-murdering, and wiping out Christians and Jews (and others) all over the world. It doesn’t matter if it is Shi’ite Islam via Iran and Hezbollah or Sunni Islam via ISIS or Al-Shabaab or Boko Haram. It is all Islam. Not radical Islam. Just Islam (which is inherently radical by definition). And Islam and Muslims have destroyed and wiped out Christianity and more Christians around the world than they have Jews and Judaism. A lot more. Lebanon, for example, is on this particular Christmas day, filled with thousands of sad Christians who fled there to escape ISIS in Iraq.

The St. Raphael Cathedral near the Lebanese capital has added more than 1,400 Iraqi refugee families from Mosul alone to its aid rosters since July, all of them having fled the city now occupied by Islamic State fighters. On Tuesday, several of the uprooted families stood in line at the cathedral in Baabda southeast of Beirut—the seat of the Chaldean Catholic Church in Lebanon—waiting for a food handout. As Rev. Youssef Denha —himself a refugee from Iraq—flipped through the pages of the ledger where he tracked each handout, he set aside any pretense of seasonal optimism. Read the rest of this entry »

This is What Happens When You Have a Baby w/ a Muslim

By Debbie Schlussel

No tears from me for Lidia Herrera, a former Cuban, who married a Bosnian Muslim. She’s whining that her young boy is now an ISIS terrorist, courtesy of her husband who joined the jihad. You would think a woman who escaped Cuban subjugation and tyranny would decline to choose yet more subjugation and tyranny that is inherent in Islam. But you would be wrong.

Marry a Muslim & This Could Be Your Kid’s Future (& Present) . . .

Lidia Herrera’s ISIS Prodigy Son Attends the Kids Jihad University for the Gifted

The last time Lidia Herrera saw her son was in November last year when she gave him to his father before leaving home in Italy and going to visit relatives in Cuba. But instead of babysitting the boy, her estranged husband Ismar Mesinovic instead took his son to Syria where he signed up to fight for ISIS. And now, a year after the pair went missing, Miss Herrera has seen her son again for the first time as part of an online propaganda campaign for the terror group. Read the rest of this entry »

Ismaaiyl Brinsley: Avowed Muslim Executed 2 NYPD Cops in Latest Jihad; Rand Paul Cozies to Sharpton; Racist Sickos Cheer Murders

By Debbie Schlussel

You can blame Al Sharpton and New York Marxist Mayor Warren Wilhelm, Jr. a/k/a “Bill de Blasio,” for the executions of two NYPD police officers, yesterday. They threw the cops under the bus and incited the violence against them. You can also blame Islam and its jihadist bent. The cops were executed by Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley, an avowed Muslim who bragged that he speaks Arabic and showed pages of the koran on his now-deleted Facebook profile.

brimsleyjihad

deblasiosharptoncopkillers

twitternypdcops8

A number of people asked me what his being a Muslim had to do with his anti-police jihad. It has everything to do with it because, as I’ve told you repeatedly on this site, HAMAS CAIR and other Muslim groups are proudly announcing they are stoking the violent protests (and they are working overtime to superimpose their anti-police BS against Israel and Jews). This is what Muslims do in every other country. Now, they are doing it here, in the hopes of converting more Blacks and White liberal nutjobs.

Also ask yourself why Rand Paul broke bread with Sharpton and posed for pics with him. Ask yourself why this pompous schmuck from Kentucky blasted police, including in Fergustan. He’s as bad as Sharpton, regardless of the “R” after his name. There’s a reason NYPD cops turned their backs to Wilhelm/de Blasio when he appeared for a press conference on the assassinations, and they should turn their backs (as should the entire GOP) on Paul, too. Sadly, many so-called “conservatives” are Paulistinians and refuse to wake up to the fact that their empty hero is a whack job like Sharpton who speaks slightly better English. If you are on cop-hater Rand Paul’s side, you are on racist Al Sharpton’s side. Got that? Read the rest of this entry »

Wknd Box Office: Foxcatcher (Anti-American), Annie (Anniecide via Jay-Z), Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

By Debbie Schlussel

Two okay new movies in theaters, this weekend, but nothin’ to write home about.

foxcatcherannie

nightatthemuseum3hobbitfivearmies

* “Foxcatcher“: I’m not surprised that mainstream (liberal) movie critics are in love with this anti-gun, anti-American movie and Steve Carell’s one-dimensional portrayal of the late billionaire John du Pont. The movie mocks American patriots, American patriotism, conservatism, support for America’s military and police, and gun ownership and superimposes all of those concepts onto craziness, nuttery, and murder. On top of that, the movie is weird, creepy, pointless, and very slow.

“Based on true events,” the film is supposed to portray the relationships and events that led up to du Pont’s real-life murder of Olympic wrestling coach David Schultz. But it’s hard to tell what is accurate and what isn’t, regardless of the participation of brother Mark Schultz in the making of the movie. There is a clear agenda to attack conservatives, patriots, and gun owners, so blatant that it’s over the top. There is also more than a sub rosa indication that du Pont was gay, with several very homoerotic scenes. You know the typical narrative: “patriotic, rich conservatives are really closet flaming gays.” And the filmmakers also want you to know that patriots are hypocrites in other ways, too, as du Pont is shown as a regular coke snorter, including on his private plane on the way to a conservative banquet event.

Sony Wimps Emblematic of Obamerica; Hollywood Gave in to Muslim Terrorists Many Times w/Out Uproar

By Debbie Schlussel

Last week, Obama told military veterans not to be open about their military service online. And now a movie studio is afraid to show a movie because of threats. Welcome to the United Wimpy States of Obamerica. A nation of sheep told to be cowards instead of the proud Americans we once were and still should be. This is supposed to be America. But tell it to Sony and Barack, since they seem not to know.

theinterview

Tonight at 8:00 p.m. was supposed to be the Detroit film critics screening of “The Interview.” (I’ve been largely off-line because I’ve been working hard on a number of cases, but I’m back now.) I was really looking forward to it because it’s been a long year, I’m a little burnt out, and I wanted to laugh at what would have been the last critics’ screening of the year. But, as you know, Sony gave in to terrorists. Sony caved. It sickened me that Sony would do this, but Hollywood has done this many times before without any hoopla, outrage, or commotion.

And that’s because Hollywood studios caved to Muslims and Islamic terrorists, and when the studios give in to Muslims, nobody cares (and everybody in the entertainment biz and the media approves of it). As I’ve noted on this site many, many times before, various studios have canceled movies and TV shows because of Muslim whining, threats, and other grievances, usually coming from HAMAS terrorist group CAIR. Publishers have canceled books because of it. And none of those morally outraged today get equally exercised when that happens. Read the rest of this entry »

Man Haron Monis: The Sydney Siege, the Religion of Peace, Starbucks Gun Control & Michelle Malkin’s Islam Flag

By Debbie Schlussel

*** UPDATE: The siege is over with two of the innocent hostages dead in the jihad of Iranian Muslim immigrant, ex-wife murderer, and sheikh/cleric Man Haron Monis. Of course, the Muslim community is insisting that this isn’t Islam (and yet they cheer it when Muslims do this in Israel or to Israeli embassies and Jewish synagogues). So, I’ve coined a new term for these Muslims, whose very Muslim behavior and acts the Muslim community insists are “unIslamic.” “Undocumented” Muslim. Man Haron Monis, the West’s latest “undocumented” Muslim terrorist. G-d bless his poor victims and their families. ***

When I first heard news, yesterday, of hostage taking at a Lindt cafe in Sydney, Australia, I wondered, “Hmmm . . . is Lindt chocolate halal?” Yup, I wondered, probably like you, if the gunman is Muslim. And sure enough, he is. Or he’s a guy who has a lot of sympathy for Islam and jihad, since he made the hostages inside the Lindt cafe hold up a flag bearing the Shehadah, the Islamic oath of martyrdom, the statement all Muslim converts make which instantly makes them members of the Religion of Peace and Chocolate Cafe Hostage Taking (and 9/11 3,000-Mass Murdering and Fort Hood Shooting and Worldwide Beheading, etc., etc., etc. ad absurdum). So, whether or not Lindt chocolate is halal (it is), we know that Muslim taking of infidel hostages has always been and always will be halal. And that’s exactly the problem.

sydneysiege

Praise allah! Lindt Chocolate & Hostage-Taking at its Cafe Are Halal.

And, so, given that the hostages were forced to hold up the jihadist shehadah flag, one has to laugh at Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, leader of the Liberal Party, since yesterday he told the media that he and the Aussie government were unaware of what the motive of the hostage taker might be. Uh, Islam, moron.

It’s also funny to hear various Muslim leaders throughout Australia condemning the hostage-taking siege and claiming it has nothing to do with Islam. Um, it has EVERYTHING to do with Islam. Cute how every single beheading around the world in the name of Islam, every single rape and torture of women in the name of Islam, every single hijacking or shooting massacre in the name of Islam, and now this cafe siege in the name of Islam, has “nothing to do with Islam,” according to the leaders of Islam who every day condone and sermonize in favor of this behavior and sanction it from Ramallah to Riyadh to Tehran.

If you think this can’t or won’t happen here, think again. We are all Israel. We are all Sydney. And with imbecilic establishments like Starbucks decrying Americans bringing arms into their places of business, it will be much easier for this to happen here. It WILL happen here. Not if, but when. And when is coming soon. There’s nothing unique about an Australian chocolate store that makes a jihadist siege possible. Nothing that can’t or won’t be replicated and translated onto a Tim Horton’s in Livonia, Michigan, or a McDonald’s in Nashville, Tennessee. Um, maybe it’s time for Starbucks and company to rethink their idiocy and encourage, rather than attack, law-abiding gun owners who could easily take this jihadist out with a single bullet. If this kind of siege happens in a Starbucks, it’s easy to predict the rightful barista lawsuits over Starbucks’ warnings to customers not to bring their guns–guns that would save lives in a Lindt-cafe-like siege.

And then there is faux-“conservative” Michelle Malkin, who praised and made excuses for the words on the Islamic flag the hostages were forced to raise up in the window. When I posted a story on this site about One Direction singer Zayn Malik’s non-stop jihad to proselytize to his gullible female fans and how he tweeted to them the exact words on that Lindt siege flag, the ISIS/Al-Qaeda flag–the words of the Shehadah–Malkin and her employees attacked me and praised Malik’s jihad on Malkin’s self-masturbation site, Twitchy. Malkin and company defended Malik for telling his fans that allah is the only god and that mohammed is his only messenger and then, like a child molester, she swooned over the then-teen Malik as “dreamy.” She repeated with approval the Shehada oath of martyrdom, also repeating the claim that allah is the only deity and mohammed god’s only messenger, and calling me a “troll” for exposing and talking truth to power about Malik. If you are a fan of Fraudkin, then you are a fan of her endless excuses for jihadism (all while she pretends to be against it, John-Kerry-style). Read the rest of this entry »

Bill Bonds–Nazi Lover, Jew-Hater, Drunk Driver, Liberal Newscaster–Buh-Bye

By Debbie Schlussel

Bill Bonds, who dominated Detroit television news in the ’70s and ’80s, is being mourned throughout Southeastern Michigan as some sort of great journalistic icon and saint. But Bonds, who died yesterday at age 82, was an open Nazi-lover, Jew-hater, serial drunk driver, shameless liberal news anchor, and all-around hypocrite, who should not be missed. He definitely won’t be missed by me. Cue the music for “Only the Good Die Young, #751,283,977.”

billbonds

Before cable TV, there were only three major broadcast television stations in most major cities. And their newscasts were dominated by liberal liars and propagandists. At Detroit’s ABC affiliate, WXYZ-TV a/k/a Channel 7, the newscasts were dominated by Bill Bonds. He is Exhibit A of why it’s a good thing TV news is no longer as influential and dominant as it once was. Back in those days of dominant local TV news, Bonds regularly gave us his unwanted, unsolicited commentary and fake grandstanding parading as a newscast. And his commentary and grandstanding included lots of anti-Israel, pro-Nazi, and anti-conservative rhetoric.

Whenever Bonds read news stories about Israel under attack or spurred to war by its brutally vicious Arab Muslim neighbors, Bonds would regularly make anti-Israel comments. When the INS arrested and deported Valerian Trifa–a Romanian Orthodox priest who was a Nazi, member of Romania’s Iron Guard (the Romanian version of the SS), and led pogroms against the Jews of Romania which killed thousands–Bonds let his audience know how upset he was. “Why don’t they just leave that poor man alone?!” Bonds exclaimed on his newscast about this Nazi who lied on his immigration documents. (Trifa lived a long life in the U.S., despite Romanian-Jewish dentist and immigrant Charles Kremer’s fight to have him brought to justice since 1957, and he finally got the U.S. government to do something.) I was just a kid when Bonds did this, but I’ll never forget how angry my parents were, because we had the Channel 7 newscast on at our house when he said those words. Read the rest of this entry »

Immigration Agency ICE Ranks LOWEST of Govt Agencies: WORST Place to Work Under Obama, Say Employees

By Debbie Schlussel

What’s the worst government agency to work for under Barack Obama? Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

ICE agents rank their agencies as THE WORST place to work in the U.S. government. Morale at the agency ranks lower than at any other government agency, according to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, where ICE ranks 314th out of 314 agencies. That’s because of Barack Obama’s de facto immigration amnesty policy and the soon-to-get-worse de jure immigration amnesty policy.

iceheadingsiceheadings2

ice314part1ice314part2

icebadgeupsidedown.jpgobamasmiling.jpg

illegalalienssmaller2.jpgmuslimgivingthefinger.jpg

Many times over the years, I’ve written about the low morale at ICE. It was low and got lower each year under President Bush. But it was far lower under each year so far of President Obama, and it’s gotten to the lowest point possible. When your agency ranks 314th out of 314 government agencies, you know things are very bad and, in this case, about to get even worse. Yes, with ICE, this really isn’t rock bottom. It’s false rock bottom because once the Obama amnesty policy is in full effect, things will get even worse. Clearly, the Obama proposed pay raise to ICE agents to silence them isn’t making them happier about what’s going on with U.S. immigration policy. Note that ICE is the largest sub-agency in the Department of Homeland Security.

And e-mail being sent around between ICE agents says this: Read the rest of this entry »
