D.C. Theatre Cancels Performance of Strzok/Page Anti-Trump Texts Project Over Threats of Violence

Conservative Irish filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney are known for their documentaries FrackNation, Not Evil Just Wrong, Mine Your Own Business and The Search For Tristan's Mum.  Their New York Times and Amazon Best Seller Gosnell: The Untold Story of America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer was made into a feature film. Since the film deals with the infamous physician abortionist Kermit Gosnell who was jailed for life without the possibility of parole for the first-degree murder of three aborted babies born alive- among other horrors including performing numerous illegal late-term abortions over three decades- they had to fund the movie through crowdsourcing. The film stars conservative actors Dean Cain and Nick Searcy- who also directed. Not surprisingly they had a challenging time getting the film distributed or reviewed. Liberals don't cotton to the anti-abortion issue, as we are witnessing today.

McAleer is again dealing with censorship of sorts. A staged reading of FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers set to be performed on June 13 has been canceled by Washington D.C. Mead Theatre because of "threats of violence".  Apparently, threats were posted on Kristy Swanson's Twitter page. She stars with fellow conservative Dean Cain in the project which is based on the entire anti-Trump texts between senior FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page.

According to Deadline:
McAleer, in a statement, condemned the cancellation at the Mead Theatre as censorship and pledged “that the show will go on despite the left’s attempts to sabotage it by forcing the venue’s withdrawal so close to the event date.”

“We will get a venue,” said McAleer. “The staged reading will go ahead. It will be filmed and released online and everyone will get to see the truth about how the upper echelons of the FBI tried to subvert democracy. This censorship will not succeed.”

Yahoo Entertainment quotes:

“We are appalled,” they said in another statement. “The Mead Theater withdrew the event, citing ‘threats of violence.’ In actuality, this is an attempt to squash the content of FBI Lovebirds: UnderCovers and what it reveals about the anti-Trump forces in the government. They knew we are filming the play and planning to release it online. That’s why they banned us. They just don’t want the truth out there.”

The statement continued: “In fact, the theatrical establishment is really afraid of the way we are using Verbatim Theater, which utilizes only the actual words and texts from Strzok and Page. ... The intolerant left can’t challenge the actual, verbatim text.”
Whether the theatre legitimately canceled over security concerns or not- it's still censorship!

Conservative Actor Nick Searcy's Advice To His Adopted Black Son Regarding #HandsUpDon'tShoot

Conservative actor Nick Searcy (of "Justified" fame) has an adopted black son. After reading an article on Yahoo by the father of a bi-racial son titled "7 Things I can Do That My Black Son Can't" Searcy penned the following, and posted it on his Facebook page.

My friend Tony Katz sent me this article today, and I found it tremendously disturbing. For one thing, this is not really about this man’s son. It is about this man’s politics. It is a defense of every leftist lie from ‪#‎WhitePrivilege‬ to ‪#‎HandsUpDontShoot‬ to ‪#‎IcantBreathe‬, all of which are simply poison.

I do not teach my son that he is a perpetual victim, and that he is hated. He is not. He is loved and admired by all who come in contact with him, because he is a wonderful person.

I teach him that there is evil in the world, and it comes in all colors, creeds, religions and genders, but that it is never an excuse for him not to do the right thing. I teach him to take responsibility for what he does, and to make sure his side of the street is clean.

I teach him that police officers have a difficult and dangerous job, and they face potential death every time they enter even the most routine traffic stop or random encounter. I tell him 1) do not break the law, and 2) if you accidentally do, by speeding or even a careless mistake, if an officer approaches you, you treat them with the utmost respect, and do not give them ANY reason, even if you feel you have been stopped unfairly, to think that you are a threat to them, or that you are not willing to cooperate them in every way. That is what they deserve, and that behavior will protect you as well.

We have talked extensively of the Civil Rights movement in the 60s, and of slavery. There is no question in his or my mind that it was a horrible chapter in our country’s history, and and a terrible wrong that had to be righted — and it was, through a bloody Civil War, and a terrifying period of civil unrest, which required incredible bravery and resolve. But I also make sure that he knows that America did not invent slavery and racism. Both have been around for thousands of years, and have been practiced by individuals of all races. The history of humanity is filled with evil, oppression, tyranny, and racism. It is a crime that is not inherent in one race or another, or one country or another. I teach him not to blame America, the bravest, freest country for individuals in all of history, for sins and wrongs that were pervasive throughout the world at its founding.

And I try to teach him that he can become whatever he wants to be, and the world is not conspiring to destroy him because of his skin color. I tell him that the most serious problems he will face will be those within himself, and frankly, that personal failings and limitations, not the evil of others, prevent most people from achieving their dreams. I teach him to not blame others for a bad grade or a failed enterprise, and that while unfairness often exists and must be addressed, most of the time the problem is within his control.

I hesitate to criticize another parent. There are problems that arise when you are a transracial parent, and all parents deal with them in their own ways. And God knows, I am not perfect.

But what kind of man teaches his son that the world is out to get him, the police want to kill him simply because he is black or white or whatever, and he will always be despised because of something he has no control over whatsoever? That the deck is unfairly stacked against him, and he should always be suspicious of white people because they are racist even when they don’t act like they are, because #WhitePrivilege means they can’t even know that they are racist because they’re too dumb to see it?

I pray for this man’s family, and I wish them well, but I think he is doing his son a grave disservice. His son lives in a country where he can become whatever he wants be, within the limitations of his abilities and his willingness to work to achieve his dreams.

That’s what I tried to teach my “white” daughter, and that’s what I try to teach my “black” son.
Wise words of advice for anyone.

Chuck Norris On Obama's Class Warfare

Not all actors are idiots, and the conservative ones seem to have a few more smarts than liberal ones. Here's another anti-Obama commentary from Chuck Norris. I'll forgive him for initially supporting Ron Paul, but he now firmly backs Mitt Romney, as we all should.

In case you missed it he also produced the "Dire Warning For America" video he put together with his wife Gina.

In a post on Townhall.com, Norris talks about Obama's class warfare:

In 2008, Obama famously told Joe the Plumber of his plans to confiscate money from small businesses: "It's not that I want to punish your success; I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you -- that they've got a chance at success, too. ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

In 2010, he arrogantly remarked, "I do think at a certain point, you've made enough money."

In July, Obama attacked business again, saying, "If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." (As I explained in an earlier column, that "somebody" to whom Obama referred was in fact the federal government.)

In other acts of class warfare, the president embraced the anarchist Occupy movement, pitted labor unions that heavily fund his campaign against the private sector and blatantly condemned capitalism.

Meanwhile, Obama likes to say his tax increases would affect only "millionaires" and "billionaires," but the actual hikes would hit couples with incomes of $250,000 or higher.

The president claims to want to raise taxes on the rich, but he'd be raising taxes on many of our nation's job producers. He's using his class warfare rhetoric to fool voters.

What do business-savvy employers do when burdened by crushing tax hikes? They look for options to reduce their taxable income.

Facing the increased cost burden of Obamacare, businesses are looking for ways to avoid dealing with the soaring costs associated with the president's health care takeover -- including potential layoffs and slashing employee hours.

Obamacare is the very definition of a class warfare ploy because it drains the lifeblood from America's producers to subsidize the uninsured. Though "free" insurance may sound like a good idea in theory, increasing the burden on companies will force them to cut employees and their benefits to stay in business.

When businesses shed employees, revenue collected by federal and state governments as payroll taxes declines, as well. That's a lose-lose situation for our nation. The best way to get Americans back to work is to grow our economy and reduce tax burdens on our nation's job creators.

When it comes to raising taxes and increasing regulations, there's no limit to what Washington will impose. Where does it end?

What exactly does Obama consider "fair"?
