'Star Wars' show ‘The Acolyte’ can’t even do left-wing propaganda right: ‘It still FAILS’



"Star Wars" show "The Acolyte" cost $180 million to produce, and it’s finally over.

But after the season finale, Lauren Chen is wondering where the money went — or whether the writers of the show are even sane.

“I’m beginning to think that the writers behind ‘The Acolyte,’ they’re just bad people. Maybe even psychopaths,” Chen says, adding, “Overall, where this money went, I have no idea.”

In the finale, the protagonist of the show kills her old Jedi master, Sol, in cold blood, and it's presented as being “what’s right.”

“Is she really the protagonist? Like, I’m sorry, am I still supposed to like or relate to this character in any way, shape, or form?” Chen asks.

“Not only does basically the only good character in this show get murdered in the finale by the little girl that he helped raise and that he did rescue from these weird space witches, but on top of that, his memory and his legacy are completely dragged through the mud,” she adds.

The show itself was supposed to revolve around the theme of ambiguous morality, Chen doesn’t think it did a good job of that at all.

“Such disappointing stuff. And here’s the thing: The entire morality of this show essentially hinges on the fact that the writers believe that Sol was in the wrong, but they didn’t really do a good job convincing the audience otherwise,” Chen says.

While Chen doesn’t believe the show is the “worst thing” she’s ever seen, she says it’s up there.

“It’s terrible. It’s not good as a piece of "Star Wars" fiction, and it’s just not good as a show standing on its own. Like, it’s one thing if there were a show that kind of poked holes into "Star Wars" lore and canon, but at least it was entertaining to watch and decent,” she says.

“This is just not good as a piece of media. It’s not very interesting, it’s not every entertaining, and heck, even if we just look at it purely as a form of propaganda to push a social message, which it seems like is really all that the creators were interested in doing, it still fails, because the message it pushes is terrible,” she continues.

“It justifies murder, tries to add moral ambiguity into something that’s unambiguously bad, like having a temper or no control over your feelings. It’s just a failure all around,” she adds.

'Patriot Act 2.0' — Lindsey Graham's DANGEROUS plan after Trump shooting



FBI whistleblower Steve Friend has a warning in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Trump — and it’s not for former President Trump.

“There was an exchange between deputy director Paul Abbate and Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, where to the layperson it seems reasonable the FBI wants to open up all avenues, remove the blindfold, have no blinders on, consider the fact that this could be assassination, this could be domestic terrorism,” Friend tells Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight.”

However, to the non-layperson — this could mean something more sinister.

“When you designate something as a domestic terrorist investigation, that enables you to make it classified, and when you have a classification code on there, you have to have a need to know in a security clearance,” Friend explains.

Because of that, the FBI can withhold information.

“The American people are not going to have the transparency that we ultimately need for this investigation,” he says.

While the FBI’s actions are concerning, that’s not Savage’s only concern.

“Lindsey Graham had a very concerning solution for the issues with the investigation,” Savage tells Friend.

“We have encrypted apps of an assassin, a murderer, and we can’t get into them all these days after,” Graham said. “That needs to be fixed folks. I’m all for privacy, but to a point.”

“What if, in the future, somebody’s using these apps to communicate with a foreign power. I think we need to know these things. We need to know them in real time,” he added.

Friend says that Graham’s suggestion would effectively render the Fourth Amendment a “dead letter, at that point.”

Graham’s use of the phrase “real time” is also concerning.

“Real time, which means continually monitoring it,” Friend explains.

“This is the government assuming that a tool will be used for ill, when it is just a tool. Because we don’t trust the government in this country. The job of law enforcement is not supposed to be easy. You’re supposed to have reasonable suspicion, probable cause, the burden is supposed to be there,” he adds.

Is 'white women for Kamala' Zoom call an example of REAL white supremacy?



Kamala Harris’ campaign is attempting to target every group – the youth, the LGBTQ+ crowd (obviously), white men, and now also white women.

In a Zoom call of nearly 170,000 people, including certain celebrities, Kamala Harris hosted a discussion about how white women could best support the vice president in her 2024 presidential campaign.

The call was as cringey as it was glitchy.

Try Not to Cringe! | Liberal "White Women" have 'Pro-Kamala Zoom Call'www.youtube.com

As the online discussion cut in and out, white women checked all the woke boxes: They owned their inherent white privilege, they paid homage to the feminist movement, they pointed to the white men who instilled their privilege, and they thanked women of color for their courage to strive for equality.

“As white women, we are the ones that have the privilege, of course, and we too have had to fight and continue to fight for our equality, our selfhood, our freedom, but we have whatever privileges our male white male counterparts have had the mercy and good sense to bestow on us and then whatever else of it we have managed to take for ourselves, often being led by … our sisters of color, who have fought and fought and continue to fight for their righteous place on God's green earth,” actress Connie Britton said, ticking off every leftist talking point.

An influencer by the name of Arielle Fodor also made sure that the right precedent was set prior to opening the floor for speakers: “If you find yourself talking over or speaking for BIPOC [black, indigenous, and people of color] individuals or, God forbid, correcting them – just take a beat and instead we can put our listening ears on. So do learn from and amplify the voices of those who have been historically marginalized and use the privilege you have in order to push for systemic change. As white people we have a lot to learn and unlearn, so do check your blind spots.”

Are you cringing yet?

Glenn Beck and guest Bridget Phetasy certainly are.

“It is actually white supremacy,” Phetasy says of the white women on Kamala’s call. “You have to believe you are better than everyone else and that it is up to you to lift up all of these people – these poor people who can't help themselves – and speak to everybody like they’re toddlers.”

However contradictory the idea is, Phetasy can’t deny that it’s an effective way to rally the people.

“What is more important than saving the world while also somehow humbling yourself and recognizing your privilege?” she asks.

“Is this going to work?” asks Glenn.

Alex Jones REVEALS the secret to making shockingly accurate predictions



If you’ve ever delved into conspiracy theories concerning the past, future, and present, you’ve likely heard the phrase — or repeated it yourself: “Alex Jones was right.”

And that’s because Alex Jones has been right. Over and over again.

“You predicted COVID, exactly how the Deep State, the globalist Deep State, was going to use a virus that they engineered to unleash tyranny on us,” Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” tells Jones.

“You predicted,” she continues, “the fluoride turning frogs gay, and people made so much fun of you, and it turns out the studies actually show that’s true.”

“You also, on a more somber note, predicted 9/11, the 9/11 attacks, almost exactly how they happened. Airliners being hijacked into the World Trade Center,” she adds.

But how exactly does the famous conspiracy theorist get it right so often?

“I set out decades ago to learn who runs things,” Jones explains, noting that those people — the globalist elites — talk about their plans “like we’re children, or they’re speaking another language and we don’t hear it.”

“I’d love to say ‘Oh, I’m so incredibly smart.’ No, in the full report, I’m reading the Rockefeller Operation Lockstep plan,” he explains. “What stops the tyranny is people learning the documents, and it’s been the same basically on every major issue.”

Jones also correctly predicted when Biden was going to step down, but he claims it’s just “learning the rhythms of politics.”

“So a lot of us like sitting at the beach for hours,” he says. “You’re watching the waves come in, and your kids are building sand castles. You just kind of learn, like, ‘Oh, it seems every 20th wave is really big. And they get smaller, and they get bigger.'”

“So 95% of what I do is just their own admissions. You just have to actually believe what they’re saying. And then the rest of it is just picking up the rhythm,” he adds.

Glenn Beck recaps the MOST INSANE month in US political history



It’s been a long, treacherous month — especially if you love your country.

To kick it off, President Joe Biden shocked half of the nation at the presidential debate by confirming what the other half — conservatives — have been saying all along. That of course is that his apparent mental decline.

“It was a frightening moment for many Americans. Not because ‘Oh my gosh he’s going to lose to Donald Trump’ but because that guy is the guy who’s running the country,” Glenn Beck says.

Shortly after, former President Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“So we don’t know who’s in charge, and then a week later the guy running against him is gunned down on live television, and we really don’t know what happened,” Glenn continues, noting that we then were faced with the realization that the Secret Service director was a DEI hire.

“The head of security of the Security Service, we all figured out and found out, was hired by the first lady. Not the president. The first lady was the one who pushed for her DEI hire at the Secret Service. And she was protecting PepsiCo and now the most important leaders of the world,” Glenn says in disbelief.

When the now-former Secret Service director — who just resigned — gave her testimony on what happened on July 13, her lack of ability to answer questions had Americans everywhere asking a new question.

“Wait a minute, was this a setup?” Glenn asks, recalling the testimony. “What are they covering up? If they’re not covering something up, why wouldn’t they just be honest and open and transparent?”

And of course, there’s Biden’s resignation from the 2024 presidential race.

“I think he should have resigned, not just from the candidacy but from the presidency of the United States,” Glenn says. “He’s not okay to run a campaign, but he’s okay to run the country?”

Then Vice President Kamala Harris stepped in to replace him as the Democratic candidate for 2024.

“The party elites picked her, and then they had a coup and picked her again,” Glenn says.

“I just want you to recognize why you might be on edge. Why you might be so tired right now. A lot has happened to your country that you love.”

“Your country has taken a beating over just the last three weeks,” he adds.

Alex Jones’ ‘eerily accurate’ prediction on Biden leaving the race — and what may happen next



President Joe Biden ended his campaign this week, and to no one's surprise, Alex Jones was right again.

“Your prediction was eerily accurate to the day on which he would step down,” Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” tells Jones. “Who’s behind that? Who made him step down? I have a very hard time believing that it was him.”

“We know the answer to that,” Jones says confidently. “The question is: What are the specifics?”

“It’s a big deal,” he continues. “Biden’s been out of his mind for years, the perfect puppet, and now they know that one’s going to buy a new election steal if it’s him. So, they want Kamala or Newsom or Hillary or ‘Big Mike’ Michelle Obama or Kamala. Anybody but him.”

“That’s why I’ve been predicting they would remove Biden imminently. Which they did,” he adds.

While no one knows exactly what has happened to the president, there are theories swirling. And Jones has his own.

“The point is that Biden was refusing to step down, and I said last week, I said, ‘He will have a medical emergency,’” Jones says. “They just tried to kill Trump, that's failed. Biden’s refusing to step down. It’s the same Deep State that wants full control and people that follow their orders.”

Now that Biden’s out, Americans have been left wondering who the Democratic nominee will be. While it seems that Kamala Harris will step into Biden’s shoes, Jones isn’t so sure.

“It needs to be Kamala on paper under the law to get the 198 million as of yesterday — it’s probably up now,” he tells Wheeler.

“But the Democrats have said that they want to have kind of a weird snap primary where the delegates or the donors with the delegates decide who’s there to at least act like it’s Democratic,” he continues.

“I mean, the sky’s the limit. They already tried to kill Trump, in my view. They already tried to take Trump off the ballot. They’ve already done all this, so we’re really seeing the desperate coup of the Democrat-controlled Deep State out in the open right now,” he adds.

Secret Service scandal: MORE shocking security failures exposed by expert



In less than a week, analysis of the near-assassination of Donald Trump has exposed a number of failures on the part of the Secret Service team that was assigned to secure the rally and protect the former president from danger.

Glenn Beck’s head researcher and writer Jason Buttrill, who’s also a former Department of Defense intelligence analyst and one who’s “[worked] side by side with the Secret Service,” sheds light on the glaring holes in the failed protective operation.

Secret Service SCANDAL: Shocking Security Failures EXPOSED by Expertyoutu.be

“It should be almost impossible to pull off what happened on Saturday,” Jason tells Glenn.

Per standard protocol, “Secret Service [goes] out weeks in advance” in order to “set up a multi-tiered security plan.” Part of that plan involves fully vetting the first three tiers of people in front of where the protectee stands.

“They also identify further out threats,” says Jason. “They identify ... potential sniper positions going all the way to a thousand yards.”

Thomas Matthew Crooks fired, however, from “130 yards” out – a position Jason assures “would have been identified” prior to the rally.

Further, for each potential sniper position, “They would have local law enforcement guarding those areas to make sure no one would gain access.”

“There’s multiple questions here that need to be asked,” says Jason.

“Knowing this entire complex plan, did the Secret Service designate those sniper positions?”

Assuming they did secure potential sniper positions, “Did law enforcement adequately man those positions?”

To that question, Jason says, “It does not appear so on the videos that we've seen,” adding that it was “tailgaters” who spotted the shooter and informed law enforcement of his whereabouts.

Glenn then brings up the fact that the Secret Service team in charge at the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally has repeatedly stated that the roof from where the shooter fired “wasn't part of the secure perimeter.”

“To say as an excuse that it was outside the secured perimeter is absolutely ridiculous,” says Jason, adding that he’s personally witnessed the extreme lengths Secret Service will go to to ensure protection.

But there’s one more question that begs answering — a question Jason says is “the scariest.”

“Was there help given to the shooter?”

Jason isn’t the first to ask this question. Dallas Alexander, the world record holder for the longest confirmed sniper kill, has actually openly stated his belief that this was an “inside job.”

“Do you believe that is a realistic possibility?” Glenn asks Jason.

Trump needs to say THIS in his RNC speech after assassination attempt



Former President Donald Trump has demonstrated serious heroism in the wake of the attempt on his life.

Not only did he stand up after the bullet grazed his ear, pump his fist, and make sure he made contact with his supporters while telling them to keep fighting — but he has already completely changed his RNC 2024 speech to allegedly focus on unity instead of political jabs.

Glenn Beck is thoroughly impressed and has an idea of what he hopes Trump will tell the nation in his speech.

“I would hope the president will come out and say something along the lines of ‘We’re standing here today because America is resilient. A few days ago, somebody tried to kill me, but by God’s grace that bullet only grazed me,’” Glenn says.

“When you have a bullet whiz by your head, there’s two ways to go. One is vengeance and the other is unity. And our nation is divided. Trust is low in our neighborhoods, in the media, everywhere,” he continues.

Despite knowing exactly what Trump meant, Glenn also believes he needs to address his use of the word “fight” that he yelled while pumping his fist.

“When I say ‘fight,’ what I mean is the little guy needs to rise up. Make sure your voice is heard, to be not afraid. We need to fight, but not with violence. We fight with our words, we fight on the streets with our words and with our actions,” he explains.

“Let’s show the rest of the world what it means to be American,” he continues. “Every voice matters, every citizen matters. Stand up for the principles in our Bill of Rights. Defend the truth with integrity and courage. Forgive others without compromising our values.”

Glenn leaves one parting message for Trump.

“It is important today that we all reach out to somebody that doesn’t agree with us, that is a friend. Just say, ‘How you doing today? Yeah, I know our guy was shot, but I want you to know I don’t hold you responsible for that, I’m sure you were just as offended as I was,’” he says.

“If they weren’t, move on. But most likely, any decent American was horrified by what they saw.”
