NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! You know it tells you a lot about the priorities of a ruling class that the rest of us are getting yet another lecture about January 6th tonight from our moral inferiors, no less. An outbreak of mob violence, a forgettably minor outbreak by recent standards, that took place more than a year and a half ago, but they've never stopped talking about it. In the meantime, in the 18 months since January 6 , gas prices have doubled. Drug ODs have reached their highest point ever. The U.S. economy is now careening toward a devastating recession at best and scariest and least noted of all, this country has never in its history been closer to a nuclear war.

Alec Baldwin’s fatal ‘Rust’ case has ‘strong arguments’ on both sides, ‘The Crow’ producers’ lawyer says
close Video Alec Baldwin 'put himself in a box' claiming he didn't pull the trigger: Mark Geragos Criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos discusses the charges filed against Alec Baldwin in the shooting of Halyna Hutchins on 'The Story.' Alec Baldwin's defense attorneys and prosecutors will both have persuasive arguments in the fatal "Rust" shooting case if it goes to trial, according to lawyer James Brosnahan. Last month, the 64-year-old actor and film armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed were charged by New Mexico prosecutors with involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Hutchins, 42, was killed by a live round from a gun that Baldwin was holding while rehearsing a scene for the Western movie. Comparisons have been made between the "Rust" shooting and another high-profile on-set tragedy in which 28-year-old actor Brandon Lee was killed by a dummy round from a prop gun while filming a scene for the 1994 fantasy … [Read more...] about Alec Baldwin’s fatal ‘Rust’ case has ‘strong arguments’ on both sides, ‘The Crow’ producers’ lawyer says
With ‘The Visit,’ M. Night Shyamalan Returns to His Filmmaking Roots
LOS ANGELES — “I don’t know, bro. I was screwed up in the head.” M. Night Shyamalan, ruminating last month about career choices gone wrong, spoke those words and then burst into a giddy giggle. Just kidding! But the tenderness in his eyes betrayed him: There was some truth in that tease. In contrast to his first four studio movies, which were all substantial hits, starting with “The Sixth Sense” in 1999, Mr. Shyamalan’s last four films have been a series of misfires. “Lady in the Water,” “The Happening,” “The Last Airbender” and “ After Earth ” severely tarnished his reputation among moviegoers. The guy who brought us those clunkers — and, yes, we know, “The Sixth Sense” — wants us to buy tickets again? Pass. But here comes a hairpin twist nobody anticipated: Mr. Shyamalan, 45, seemingly humbled and more mature, took a hard look at his professional life, made a course correction, and the result, a quirky comedic thriller called “ The Visit ,” may well deliver a surprise … [Read more...] about With ‘The Visit,’ M.
