Yeah, Hulu & Cate Blanchett really tried to make Phyllis Schlafly look like a hapless but villainous victim.
Meanwhile, here's the real Mrs. Phyllis Schlafly shutting down an ignorant leftist.
There are a lot of great Schlafly clips, this one's easily top 3:
I have not seen anybody talking about what’s going on in Canada right now.
This man was pulled over and told by police that he had to come with them because a psychiatrist labeled him “certifiable.”
No paperwork, no rule of law, just a doctor saying that if he didn’t come with him right then and there that he would be arrested.
The fact that a government could do this is terrifying.
🚨 do you understand what happened to Stephen Colbert..
24 hours after his final Late Show, Colbert hijacked a tiny public access channel in Monroe, Michigan with Jack White, Eminem, Jeff Daniels and Steve Buscemi.
Now Paramount - the company that just cancelled his show - is mass-blocking every reupload worldwide via Content ID. And the deeper you dig, the worse it looks:
- The finale pulled 6.74M viewers - a weeknight record over 11 years
- Eminem cameoed as "Marshall, the fire marshal" to greenlight torching the set
- The same day Trump posted an AI video of throwing Colbert into a dumpster, Colbert aired footage of himself burning a real one
- Mayday Network and verified journalist Matthew Keys both got blocked globally - for sharing a community access show
Paramount cancelled his show to silence him. Instead they handed him a Streisand-effect comeback 10x bigger than the show ever was.
Actually this is also why we're stuck in remake/reboot hell, young people with new ideas aren't allowed into the industry anymore.
Japan constantly scouts new talent while in the US it's just nepotism now.
Thomas Massie: "I would have come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent to concede - and it took a while to find him in Tel Aviv."
Massie lost the election. But he just exposed the entire operation in one sentence.
The only guy to truly raise hell about the Epstein files, and a recent critic of Israel, and instantly loses after 14 years of near uncontested elections. Makes you fucking think
