After forty years in front of the camera, I’ll be directing my first feature film, SO HELP ME GOD: a Civil War epic about a Union soldier named Albert Townsend, who should have received the Medal of Honor but didn’t.
Clerical error.
I learned of Albert through his descendants’ archival research. What I found was more than an injustice waiting to be corrected. It was a story of friendship and extraordinary courage: an unassuming young man becoming a soldier who held his ground, and his principles, under fire.
That’s a story worth telling on the largest possible scale. And we’re inviting the people who want to see it told to help bring it to the screen, as investors in the film through Republic.
We intend to do it justice: real cannons, one hundred horses, and the cast in period-accurate uniforms. We’ve brought on Mark Huffam, whose work includes Saving Private Ryan, Game of Thrones, and The Martian, to produce it. He knows what it takes to make an epic, and how much depends on the human story at its heart.
At the Medal of Honor Heritage Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, I introduced the project alongside Civil War historian Brad Quinlin, members of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, and representatives of Civil War Roundtables. We’re also supporting the campaign for Albert’s posthumous Medal of Honor. His descendants are still fighting to see his courage properly recognized.
This picture is about friendship, love, and honor — and common people rising to accomplish extraordinary things. I want to give that story everything it deserves.
I hope you will lift the banner with us.

A user on X has filed a police report against Green Party leader Emily Lowan for her hateful comments towards Conservatives on election night
She said Conservatives should not even exist
Do you think the Sannich police will take this complaint seriously?
🚨 NOW: First Lady Melania Trump OFFICIALLY announces that the humanitarian ceasefire she brokered between Russia and Ukraine has taken effect, and has been EXPANDED across the Kherson Region
The greatest First Lady ever 🙏🏻
"THE CEASEFIRE HAS COMMENCED. The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4:00am Moscow time on October 27, 2026."
"Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys."
"General Valery Gerasimov, Joint Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has confirmed."
After personally appealing to Vladimir Putin to save thousands of starving civilians trapped in Oleshky, our First Lady just delivered an expanded ceasefire corridor with Russian military confirmation
She is THAT effective. 47 has even said she's better than some of the professionals 😅
The First Couple of PEACE
🚨 4 YEARS. 3 MONTHS. STILL NO MEDICAL REVIEW.
I woke up paralyzed on February 22, 2022, following my Moderna COVID vaccine.
I applied to Canada’s Vaccine Injury Support Program in July 2022.
It’s now October 2026.
I’m living with quadriplegia. I’ve undergone years of neurological testing, MRIs, spinal taps and hospitalizations.
Despite countless follow ups, my claim STILL hasn’t received a medical assessment.
I haven’t been approved. I haven’t been denied. I haven’t even been medically reviewed.
Canada created a program to support people with serious vaccine injuries.
So why am I still waiting more than FOUR YEARS just to have my case examined?
How many more years are people with permanent disabilities supposed to wait?
My name is already on my gravestone. Is that what they are hoping?

PLEASE REPOST. Canadians deserve answers.
Richard Wagner described the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa as the "start of anarchy," where participants took residents "hostage" and acted with a "bad understanding" of Canadian law.
A Supreme Court of Canada justice does not have the right to express negative public views about an active case they are hearing. Doing so violates core constitutional principles and ethical duties governing the Canadian judiciary.

Not so fast.
Section 10.1 of the Alberta Human Rights Act allows for preferential hiring based on race, etc. Bill 33 does not repeal Section 10.1. Instead, the Bill adds a bunch of weasily prohibitions and exceptions for provincial bodies.
If they meant it, they could just repeal section 10.1. And they should have invoked the Notwithstanding Clause (section 33) of the Charter. They haven't, so provincial bodies in Alberta will still be subject to section 15(1) and (2) of the Charter, which allow (and sometimes may require) reverse discrimination.
