If he upset the left, what he said must be true. He must be mellowing with age. Incidentally, I think he was terrific in Jaws.

The current kerfuffle aside, FTA: 'As far back as 2006 he launched The Dreyfuss Civics Initiative to promote civics education from the fourth grade, and has called the failure to teach the U.S. Constitution, “suicidal.” And I thought that Robert Shaw was the real man in 'Jaws' This took courage! Hollyweirdos drop you like a rock if you step off the plantation.

I formulated a theory during the Harrison Butker "controversy," which is that the more sensible, All-American the "remarks" are, the fewer of them will be quoted in "news" stories about the "blowback," or whatever other incendiary term is applied. The stories will be about the outrage from the Usual Snowflakes, not any truly offensive comments, because to the majority of readers, there aren't any such. The libs aren't so out of touch as to not recognize that what "offends" Hollywood will invigorate Flyover Country. Notice that of Dreyfuss's words are quoted in this story.

What EXACTLY did he say? I know I am asking a lot of today's media but normally when reporting what someone said especially if it is considered controversial you actually QUOTE the person.

Richard Dreyfuss is an odd duck. He is a democrat through and through, but still has common sense and actually loves and respects his country, as it was founded. More like a JFK democrat. A lot of union people are like that, as well. They vote democrat because that’s what they’re supposed to do. But, Mr. Dreyfus’s wrote a very touching and respectful eulogy of Charleton Heston when he died, even though he vehemently disagreed with him politically. I guess he had met him and worked with him.

so what!! he has an opinion and doesn't care who likes it or doesn't like it but as Anne Elk would say "this is my theory - all Brontosauruses are thin at one end, much, much larger in the middle and thin on the other end, this is my theory, it is mine" and Richard Dreyfuss should be praised for having the courage to make a statement that he most likely knew would draw a whole lot of criticism but he did it and said it anyway

The California Senate passed a bill that would ban parental notification for gender changes in public TK-12 and provide more resources to increase parental support of LGBTQ pupils. While parents broadly support disclosure rules and have approved them in many school districts, state leaders, including the attorney general — who has supported lawsuits against districts with disclosure rules — say these efforts harm transgender children. In the past year, school districts across California have adopted measures requiring parents to be notified if their children request to officially change their pronouns, go by a different name, or use facilities or school programs for children of the opposite gender.

In a memo published on May 8th, Xavier Becerra, Biden’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, announced a new plan to address “racial inequities” in the organ transplant industry. The plan, which covers 90 of the 257 transplant hospitals in the U.S., proposes a points system to grade the included hospitals. Under this points system, a hospital earns a point for any successful kidney transplant, but 1.2 points for a kidney transplant with a low-income recipient as part of a “health equity performance adjustment.” While the system is ostensibly colorblind, the Biden administration’s announcement gives race as a motivating factor: Becerra stated that the policy represents the Biden administration

But De Niro managed the seemingly impossible by stooping deeper into the bowels of self-humiliation that made Dirty Grandpa seem like Citizen Kane. This is when he had myriad unhinged foulmouthed public outbursts and made violent threats at various events. His target was democratically-elected President Donald Trump. De Niro’s utterances once again proved that profanity is the last resort of the vacuous. As expected, the madness was cheered in the liberal echo chambers of Hollywood and D.C.
