Prolific actor Tom Wilkinson, who you might have seen in films like The Patriot, Michael Clayton, The Full Monty, and In the Bedroom, which earned him an Oscar nomination, has passed away. Wilkinson has over 100 television and film credits in his long career, being featured in various genres. If you go through his body of work, there is no role he couldn’t do (via Washington Post): Mr. Wilkinson died suddenly at home, according to a statement his representative Nancy Selzer shared on behalf of his family. “It is with great sadness that the family of Tom Wilkinson announce that he died suddenly at home on December 30.

Think you've heard it all concerning Critical Race Theory? Take a seat.
If you thought Marxist-derived CRT was only related to the behavior, attitudes, and actions of white people against people of color, you were sorely mistaken. Turns out, the interiors of the homes of white people are likely "racist" as well. The solution? "Decolonization" of interior spaces. No, really.
Enter: "interior race theory."
Here's architecture author Aaron Betsky, who's written more than 20 books on the subject and believes architecture should be taught through the lens of CRT:

2023 Sucked

If you thought 2022 was bad, 2023 kicked you in the groin while pouring sugar into your gas tank. The only way it could have gone worse is if Joe Biden suddenly because coherent.
I realize that’s unlikely to happen, dementia doesn’t reverse itself, but even the reality of his decline and the failures of his policies have only driven his 2024 prospects down to the low end of the margin of error. While there will be plenty of time to look forward to the election, this is a look back at what got us to the end of the year about to be consigned to voiding checks
Now they're coming for New Years Eve. Pro-Nazi, pro-Hamas protesters say that on New Year's Eve they'll sack Seattle's iconic Space Needle, the scene of one of the largest and most-watched New Year's Eve celebrations in the country.

A fireworks extravaganza and 16-minute show featuring 500 drones are planned for New Year's Eve starting at seven minutes till midnight, with other light shows throughout the late night starting on the half-hour at 10 PM. That is unless the protesters "shut it down."
The same protesters have shut down streets, highways, and the annual city Christmas tree lighting ceremony. [Video]
Now the Nazis want the Needle.
I'm disappointed in myself for not predicting this one.
One day the leftoids are uprooting Confederate statues like ingrown hairs before prom night, ostensibly because all things antebellum are a sign of white supremacy. But then they turn around and try to boot their boogeyman, Trump, off the ballot, just like ten out of 11 Confederate states did with that rascally, slave-savin' Republican Abe Lincoln in the weeks before the 1860 election.
FACT-O-RAMA! The only Southern state that did not remove Trump -- oops, I mean Abraham Lincoln -- from the ballot was Virginia.
The real punchline here is that the Marxists controlling the Democrat Party have tripped over their Crocs
This week, Bill and Hillary Clinton were spotted in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for a surprise visit.

“Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton are set to spend their year-end holidays in Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic. The couple arrived in the country on Thursday and plans to stay in the renowned tourist destination until the early days of 2024. According to sources confirmed to arecoa.com, the Clintons’ visit to the Dominican Republic is a testament to their preference for the region, especially for year-end celebrations.” – Dominican Today reported.

Maine’s Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has been under scrutiny ever since she decided to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot as part of a national effort to influence the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. She has been the subject of criticism from folks on both the left and the right. As I wrote earlier, she already faces impeachment proceedings, which Republican state Rep. John Andrews announced on Friday evening.
Now, Bellows is facing a lawsuit contesting her effort to skew the results of the upcoming election in President Joe Biden’s favor by using the 14th Amendment, according to a Daily Caller exclusive.
On Saturday, a coalition of Muslim leaders in swing states announced they are stepping up their efforts to make sure Joe Biden (assuming he's the Democrat candidate, which is anything but certain) loses the 2024 presidential election. Why? Because he supports Israel.
The #AbandonBiden campaign officially began earlier in December, led by Muslim leaders in swing states like Michigan, Minnesota and Arizona, who disapproved of Biden’s support for Israel’s counterattacks against Hamas. The counterattacks have come at the cost of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian lives.
Now, the coalition intends to expand the pressure campaign to all 50 states.

I doubt the writers at NBC News want this, or maybe they do because Joe Biden seems stuck in political purgatory. Joe’s approvals are in the toilet, hovering in the low 30s. There is no indication that a comeback of epic proportions is on the horizon for the rapidly decaying Biden. Besides lacking the elite political and communications skills required to complete such a feat, Joe lacks the energy. This turnaround takes much work, which Joe isn’t familiar with concerning his time in the White House. Though Republicans only control the House by a hair—literally—they’re not going to pass anything to help this administration, especially come springtime.

In Jacksonville, Florida’s Springfield Park, a statue called “Tribute to the Women of the Confederacy” has stood for 108 years. But no more: on Wednesday morning, the statue was uprooted and carted away on the order of Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan, who justified her action by proclaiming that “symbols matter.” Yes, they do. And that’s why she should have left the statue where it was.
USA Today reported that Deegan “said the monument was a divisive presence that had no place in a city park.” She added: “Symbols matter. They tell the world what we stand for and what we aspire to be. By removing the Confederate monument from Springfield Park,
You’ve got to say one thing about the left’s New Rules, which kicked into high gear under President Obama and have metastasized throughout our rotten establishment ever since: they certainly are expedient.
Leftists want Trump gone. They didn’t want him to win the white house in 2016, so they set up their infamous "insurance policy" to cut his administration off at the knees.
Under the old rules — the American social contract of fair play and integrity — there was a major problem with this strategy: Trump had done nothing wrong. But those who play by the New Rule never take “No” for an answer.
The media has driven itself into a tizzy in recent days, claiming that despite serving as president of the United States (and being poised to reclaim that office in less than a year’s time), Donald Trump should not be granted the same kinds of immunity and executive privilege that every other chief magistrate enjoyed before him. Showcasing their ignorance of both the Constitution and history, the mainstream media has framed the concept as something of a novel innovation for President Trump’s lawyers, who are advocating for “broad immunity,” implying that no other presidential officeholder has ever made that claim. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Three women who served in former President Donald Trump's White House are now warning against a possible second Trump term, with one of them saying it could mean "the end of American democracy as we know it."
For the first time, former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin, former White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews, and former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson sat down together with ABC News "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl to discuss their roles in speaking out against Trump in the wake of Jan. 6.
"Fundamentally, a second Trump term could mean the end of American democracy as we know it, and I don't say that lightly,"

Why are Joe Biden’s dogs so bad?

After Joe Biden was purportedly elected president of the United States, he moved into the White House and still spends a good – some would say bad – 60% of his time living and “working” there. It’s convenient because it’s also the preferred residence of his make-shift physician, make-shift policy advisor, make-shift stair-assister and make-shift stage-navigator, “doctor” Jill.
The White House has also been the dog house of several canine companions of Joe. The first First Dog went by the name of Champ, until he lost his title. He died and went to the White Dog House in the sky.
It was the best thing any Biden dog has ever done.
Former president Bill Clinton will be named in the Jeffrey Epstein court documents set to be unsealed this coming week.
Bill Clinton was good friends with Epstein and traveled on his private jet dubbed ‘Lolita Express’ over two dozen times and according to pilot logs, underage teenagers were on the flights with Clinton. (Photo) Earlier this month, it was reported that dozens of Jeffrey Epstein’s high-profile associates are in for a New Year’s surprise as they may be named in court documents set to be released in the first days of 2024.

Red Voice Media posted a video that we had not seen before from the January 6 protest at the US Capitol.
In the video, Jacob Chansley, later dubbed the “Q Shaman,” reads a tweet from President Trump to the crowd outside the US Capitol and tells them to go home. Chansley added, “We are peaceful… We are not Antifa.”
Q Shaman Jacob Chansley: “We’re going to throw up the tweet. Donald Trump has asked everybody to go home. Okay? – This is America. You guys want to stay, that’s fine. Donald Trump has asked everybody to go home.”
Fellow Protester: “Wait, read this.”
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley flubbed the name of a local college basketball star in Iowa on Saturday, in another embarrassing gaffe on the campaign trail.
Speaking at the Iowa Athletic Club in Coralville, Haley accidentally referred to Iowa Hawkeyes superstar Caitlin Clark as 'Kaitlan Collins', the name of the rising-star CNN anchor.
'We're excited to see the Lady Hawkeyes team. What a great coach they have. Kaitlan Collins is phenomenal,' said Haley, drawing confused looks from several members of the crowd.
Tesla Inc. is expected to say on Tuesday it had another record delivery year in 2023, in large part due to die-hard Elon Musk fans and tech-savvy early adopters. Now the company is working to widen its appeal.
The Austin-based EV maker is estimated to have handed over almost 483,200 vehicles in the fourth quarter, according to analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. That means Tesla probably exceeded its goal to deliver 1.8 million cars last year, an all-time high for the company but just a fraction of what Toyota Motor Corp. or General Motors Co. normally sell. For its next phase of growth, Tesla has to win over everyday buyers,
Presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis has announced his intent to pardon Donald Trump should he be convicted on any of the dozens of charges he faces.
The Florida Governor made the declaration Friday when confronted by a reporter in Jasper County. DeSantis told NBC News he had 'already [promised a Trump pardon] long ago.'
He then compared the situation to the one seen nearly a half-century ago between Richard Nixon and replacement Gerald Ford - who pardoned his predecessor in 1974 for crimes he may have committed to serve the country’s best interests.
A recent Gateway Pundit report by investigator Brian Lupo is making the rounds on social media this weekend.
There is currently no evidence that there was ever a voting machine election audit performed in Georgia following the 2020 election.
On November 17, 2020, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger made an announcement that an audit “using forensic techniques” was completed with “no sign of foul play” in the 2020 election. The statement previously appeared on the Secretary of State’s webpage and is still available via the Wayback Machine here.

Glenn Reynolds quotes some of the same accounts of rape and sexual mutilation of Israeli girls and women by Gazans that I wrote about here. What the Arab Muslims did on October 7 isn’t just unspeakable, it is almost unimaginable. Glenn comments:
"It’s as if these people are a bunch of degenerate animals, which is because that’s what they are. Hamas and the — majority — of Palestinians who support them. And their western supporters — including the Western feminists who went crazy about a fictional frat-house rape that left its “victim” alive and unscarred — are utterly complicit as well.
And we’re supposed to pretend somehow that these degenerate animals
