Bette Midler has come under fire from both conservatives and liberals after she tweeted that Senator Joe Manchin ‘wants us all to be just like his state, West Virginia…poor, illiterate, and strung out.’
The First Wives Club actress infuriated thousands with her snobbish missive, which said: ‘What #JoeManchin, who represents a population smaller than Brooklyn, has done to the rest of America, who wants to move forward, not backward, like his state, is horrible.
Alec Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, were pulled over by police in the Hamptons Saturday — two days after investigators issued a search warrant for the embattled actor’s cellphone, photos show.
Baldwin, 63, was photographed sitting inside the car while Hilaria, 37, spoke with a cop on the side of the road before pulling out her phone and showing the screen.
All hope for Steven Spielberg’s racially divisive West Side Story remake died in week two, plummeting 68 percent with a humiliating take of just $3.4 million.
After ten days in release, which includes two weekends, this historic box office bomb has grossed just $17.9 million.
Review – ‘West Side Story’: The Music Survives Socialist Realism
The new film adaptation of the 1957 Broadway musical play “West Side Story” opened Dec. 10 to the conundrum of rave reviews and limp box office. Why director Steven Spielberg decided that the highly celebrated, Oscar-winning 1961 film of this musical needed remaking is anyone’s guess. If his purpose was to update the script to reflect current politically correct attitudes, he succeeded.
Tony Kushner’s screenplay includes several laughable interpolations of present cultural beliefs, including the pointless inclusion of the Puerto Rican national anthem sung with raised fists. Another is the evolution of tomboy character Anybody’s into a fully trans female-to-male whose monstrous physical strength somehow allows her/him to beat up a roomful of police officers.
That sounds like Oscar Bait. I’m not kidding.
Alec Baldwin has denied that he requested a larger Colt gun before the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust in a tweet today, sent after Sante Fe sheriffs in New Mexico issued a search warrant for his iPhone.
The 63-year-old actor tweeted an article from Newsweek which claimed that he had requested a bigger gun before the accidental shooting.
‘This, in fact is a lie,’ Baldwin wrote over the article link.
Police in New Mexico have issued a search warrant for Alec Baldwin’s phone, after the fatal October 21 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his film, Rust.
The search warrant, requested by Santa Fe sheriffs, authorizes police to review all text messages and photos on the actor’s iPhone, as well as any stored location data, as part of their investigation.
Judge David Segura, a magistrate in Santa Fe, approved the request on Thursday afternoon.
West Side Story star Rachel Zegler admonished Americans for not speaking Spanish in response to the controversy over the Steven Spielberg-directed film’s lack of subtitles.
Speaking with reporters on the red carpet of the film’s premiere, Zegler, who plays the titular character Maria, said Spielberg’s decision to eliminate subtitles from the Spanish-speaking scenes was an act of “respect” and an acknowledgment of the fact that English is not the “official language” of the United States.
She’s Polish-Colombian not Puerto-Rican, isn’t that cultural appropriation?
How #MeToo! Her co-star may be a sex fiend but they’re hushing it up.
West Side Story’s weekend box office collapse continues Woke’s 100 percent box office losing streak.
In interview after interview, director Steven Spielberg premised his rationale for remaking West Side Story on “correcting” it, which is simply the most woketard thing I’ve ever witnessed.
Apparently a lot of dialogue is in Spanish – without subtitles becuz racist.
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The assistant director who handed Alec Baldwin a prop gun that killed a cinematographer on a New Mexico film set must make himself available for an interview with state workplace safety regulators, a judge has decided.
… Safety officials tried twice since Nov. 2 to interview Halls for their investigation but he declined both times through his attorney and said he wouldn’t agree to an interview until a criminal investigation into the shooting is complete, a compliance officer wrote Wednesday in an affidavit in support of the subpoena request.
Right there on network television, under gentle questioning, Baldwin unwittingly confessed to involuntary manslaughter.
On October 21, 2021, actor Alec Baldwin shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal on the set of Rust, a western movie that was being filmed in New Mexico.
Recently George Stephanopoulos of ABC News interviewed Baldwin about the shooting. (You can view that interview in its entirety by clicking on this link. )
While Baldwin punctuated his answers with tears and expressions of anguish and sympathy for Hutchins’ family, from a legal standpoint, the interview was nothing short of disastrous. As explained below, Baldwin illogically and unconvincingly denied responsibility for the killing and lamely attempted to shift blame for Hutchins’ death to others including, stupefyingly enough, the victim herself. In the process, he effectively and unwittingly confessed to committing involuntary manslaughter.
Alec Baldwin asked for sympathy for himself and his colleagues on the set of Rust in a lengthy open letter, after Halyna Hutchins’ death.
The actor discharged a gun on set and accidentally shot the cinematographer during a rehearsal, and also injured director Joel Souza.
He later spoke of the incident in an emotional sit-down interview on ABC, vowing he doesn’t feel ‘guilt’ for what happened.
Addressing Hutchins’ shooting on Instagram, the 30 Rock star insisted that the descriptions of the working conditions as ‘chaotic and dangerous’ are false.
This seems a convenient effort to exonerate the producers of which Alec was one no?
The father of the young armorer from Alec Baldwin’s movie Rust says the gun that Alec Baldwin used to kill Halyna Hutchins was ‘sabotaged’ by a disgruntled crew member who wanted to cause a safety incident after having complaints ignored but never intended for anyone to die.
Hannah Gutierrez Reed, 24, was the armorer on the set of the movie on October 21. She says she handed the gun to Assistant Director Dave Halls after checking it, and that he gave it to Baldwin who then accidentally fired it at Hutchins while rehearsing a scene.
As the man who fired the shot he is ultimately responsible for the safety of the weapon and what he did with it.
It’s impossible to feel sorry for actor Alec Baldwin who killed one person and wounded another in a movie set gun accident on October 21. It’s impossible because, though he claims to feel great sadness and regret, Baldwin refuses to accept any responsibility for the shooting.
Though Baldwin is one of Hollywood’s louder bigmouths advocating gun control, those of us who seek to protect Americans’ Second Amendment rights can take no satisfaction from that incident.

Alec Baldwin’s main Twitter account has been deleted days after his first sit-down interview since the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Baldwin, 63, had two verified Twitter accounts, one of which he was particularly active on. It is that account, @AlecBaldwin, which has been shut down and deleted from the social media platform.
In November, the account switched its settings to ‘private’, meaning the only those users allowed to follow the account were able to see any new tweets or postings, but that account has now disappeared entirely.
I smell lawyers.
After listening to Alec Baldwin break his silence about shooting Halyna Hutchins, I am beginning to think there are two Americas. One America is populated by elites like Baldwin, so arrogant that he believes all he has to do is say the gun went off by itself and he will be absolved of all guilt in the death of Halyna Hutchins. The other America is composed of the little people he so despises, who know that a gun cannot fire a bullet without a human to manipulate it.
Actor Adam Baldwin is unsparing in his assessment of how fellow actor Alec Baldwin (no relation) shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a vintage gun on the set of his latest movie. And Alec Baldwin made it worse in his damage-control interview with ABC News this week when he blamed his victim for directing him to shoot her.
