‘Dukes of Hazzard’ star John Schneider explains why Hollywood won’t make patriotic films
The actor is starring in a new film titled ‘To Die For,’ which he said has been resonating with veterans feeling overlooked in America.


John Schneider refuses to back down.

The actor, who famously played Bo Duke in the hit sitcom “Dukes of Hazzard,” is starring in a new patriotic film titled “To Die For,” which was directed and produced independently without major studio backing.

The storyline follows reclusive veteran Quint North (Schneider), who takes a public stand for his personal freedoms after receiving a court order to keep his American flag-flying El Camino truck away from a local high school. The 62-year-old told Fox News Digital the film defends patriotism, freedom of speech and the American flag.

“I had been made aware of an article where a man had been put in jail because he refused to take the flag off the back of his truck,” said Schneider. “I read the article, and it said he had a restraining order against him, so he couldn’t drive within a certain distance from the [local] high school with the flag on his truck… [My wife and I] are big supporters of our military and our law enforcement. And I thought, now is the time to make a movie about this guy. I don’t know about you, but as I drive around the country, I see more and more people with the American flag flying from the back of… their pickup trucks.”

“I wanted to make a movie not about that individual guy, but that kind of guy who is willing to go to jail in order to continue to express his First Amendment right of free speech,” Schneider continued. “The second notion was this movie has got to come out before the midterm elections in 2022… so that it will urge people who are, for some reason, timid or quiet to speak their mind… No matter what, the movie had to come out on Oct. 20 to give enough lead time so that people could see it before voting in November.”

Schneider, a proud conservative and Trump supporter, shared that the film has already made a bold statement among viewers.

“A friend of mine said all the right people are aggravated,” he chuckled. “But all the right people are also encouraged and enthused and invigorated by it. So as we say in the car business, ‘It’s firing on all eight.’”

According to the star, “To Die For” was made with a crew of under 10 people over the last 10 months. He also never approached Hollywood directors with the script.

FIRST ON FOX: Crist claims he’s ‘trustworthy’ after his former staff, colleagues endorse DeSantis

Fox News Digital spoke with Crist following his heated debate with DeSantis

By Brandon Gillespie , Andrew Murray | Fox News

Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist on Tuesday described himself as “a trustworthy person” despite a number of his former staffers and colleagues announcing they would be supporting his opponent, incumbent Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, for re-election.

In an interview with Fox News Digital just one day following his fiery debate with DeSantis, the former Republican governor pushed back on the notion that he was untrustworthy for changing his political party affiliation multiple times, arguing that the GOP had left him rather than the other way around.

Crist was a Republican until 2010 before unsuccessfully running for Senate that year as an independent, and then ultimately winning election to Congress in 2016 as a Democrat. He resigned his congressional seat in August after winning the Democratic gubernatorial primary.

“I am a trustworthy person. I follow my heart,” Crist told Fox when asked if his shifting alliances were evidence of political opportunism.

“I did change political parties, because my party left me. I didn’t leave it. It started with the rise of the Tea Party, and then it metastasized under Trump, and here’s where we are today, where you got people who are denying elections getting nominated by the Republican Party for offices all over America. It’s a mess,” he added.

In a letter released Tuesday, a number of Crist’s former staffers and colleagues, including his ex-chief of staff George LeMieux and his former lieutenant governor, Jeff Kottkamp, wrote that DeSantis was the “clear” choice for governor.

“The undersigned represent former colleagues and staff of Charlie Crist. Together, we have known Charlie in virtually all phases of his career and public life,” the letter read. 

“The choice this November could not be more clear: we unanimously endorse Governor Ron DeSantis for re-election,” it read.

“Governor DeSantis has delivered for Florida. He has led our state with courage and conviction. He has demonstrated his ability to lead us through difficult times. We stand with Governor DeSantis because the stakes are too high,” it added.

EXCLUSIVE: GOP Gov. Kristi Noem announces ‘largest tax cut in South Dakota history’

By Aubrie Spady

FIRST ON FOX: Gov. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., who is seeking re-election in the midterms this November, announced that she will eliminate the sales tax on all grocery purchases in South Dakota, the governor’s office told Fox News Digital.

“I have seen families across South Dakota struggling to make ends meet with rising inflation because of President Biden’s policies. His failed liberal agenda has caused the cost of food to skyrocket, and family budgets are being stretched thin,” said Noem while announcing the new tax cut in Rapid City, South Dakota, on Wednesday. 

“This permanent tax cut will put hundreds of dollars in the pockets of the average South Dakota family,” Noem said.  (Click to Continue Reading)

WaPo gives Sen. Patty Murray ‘Four Pinocchios’ for saying Republicans plan to ‘end’ Social Security, Medicare

By Joseph A. Wulfsohn

The Washington Post handed down four “Pinocchios” to Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., for her claim warning of the “end” Social Security and Medicare if Republicans take control of Congress.

Murray, who is fighting in a tightening reelection battle against GOP challenger Tiffany Smiley, tweeted on Sunday, “Republicans plan to end Social Security and Medicare if they take back the Senate.”

Glenn Kessler, the Post’s fact-checker, characterized Murray’s tweet as a “‘Medicare’ attack” to win over senior voters.

“Don’t worry, seniors: There is no such plan,” Kessler assured elderly readers. (Click to continue reading)

North Dakota man free after admitting he mowed down ‘Republican’ teen over politics, records show

By Stephanie Pagones

The North Dakota man who allegedly admitted to fatally striking a teenage pedestrian with his car because the pair had “a political argument” was released from jail on Tuesday after posting $50,000 bond, records show.

Shannon Brandt, 41, spent just days in a Stutsman County Jail on criminal charges related to the death of 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson before he posted his $50,000 and was released, according to county jail records. Brandt’s listed attorney could not be reached by phone and did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s email inquiry.

Brandt, a Glenfield resident, was arrested in the early morning hours of Sunday after he told the state first responders’ radio that “he struck the pedestrian because the pedestrian was threatening him,” according to a probable-cause affidavit provided to Fox News Digital on Wednesday morning.

“Brandt stated that the pedestrian called some people and Brandt was afraid they were coming to get him,” the document continues. “Brandt admitted to State Radio that he hit the pedestrian and that the pedestrian was part of a Republican extremist group.”

Shannon Brandt, 41, is charged in the vehicular death of a North Dakota teenage boy he claimed occurred after a political argument.   (Foster County Sheriff)

North Dakota Highway Patrol reported on Sunday that there was a “street dance” on Jones Street near Hohneck Street in McHenry when Brandt struck Ellingson and then fled the scene.

Ellingson was rushed to a local hospital with serious injuries, but could not be saved.  (Click to continue reading)

Testimony wraps in trial of former professional guardian accused of elderly abuse

By: Adam Walser

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — On Thursday, the trial continued in the case of former professional guardian Rebecca Fierle, who was accused of contributing to the death of a man under her care.

Testimony wrapped up and both sides rested after the jury heard from more than a dozen total witnesses. Fierle did not take the stand in her own defense.

She is charged with felony, aggravated abuse of an elderly person, and neglect of an elderly person. Fierle was appointed by a judge to be Steven Stryker‘s guardian in 2018 after Stryker was baker acted and ended up in an Orlando hospital.

Investigators said Fierle allegedly ordered his feeding tube to be capped and requested a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order against his wishes while he was a patient at Saint Joseph’s hospital in May 2019. The record showed that he choked to death five days later.  (Click to continue reading)

Martha’s Vineyard residents lament lack of resources, even as island is flush with cash and beds

Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. – Playground of the powerful Martha’s Vineyard lacked the resources to care for the 50 migrants who landed there unexpectedly on Wednesday, local residents told Fox News Digital this weekend.

But real estate data and Massachusetts state resources show otherwise: island towns are flush with cash and plenty of extra beds to help needy people.

Edgartown, for example, boasts $9.8 million in free cash — budget surplus — according to the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. It would have cost only $9.1 million to give all 50 migrants their own room for an entire year at Edgartown’s swanky $500-per-night Harbor View Hotel.  (Click to continue reading)

Media lead charge to smear Rockies fan they falsely accused of using racial slur toward Marlins outfielder

By Charles Creitz

Several media figures and others in the baseball establishment are being slammed for hastily and ultimately falsely accusing a Colorado Rockies fan of repeatedly yelling a racial slur at a Miami Marlins player who is Black, with some later making an about-face on the matter.

When the Marlins’ Lewis Brinson, 27, was at the plate in the ninth inning on Sunday, microphones at Coors Field in Denver picked up the fan repeatedly yelling something many critics immediately declared to be the n-word, ostensibly directed at the opposing team’s batter.

A review of the situation found that the fan, who has not been identified, was in fact shouting “Dinger!” at the Rockies’ purple triceratops mascot. The man was reportedly trying to get Dinger’s attention so that it could take a photograph with his grandchildren.

But many on social media circulated video of the incident assuming that the man was yelling a racial epithet.  (Click to continue reading how an innocent man was wrongly attacked)

Disney Grandson Languishes in the “Unhappiest Place on Earth”

by Downey Brand LLP

While Disneyland may be the “Happiest Place on Earth,” a California probate court may be the opposite for a Disney heir, mused the U.S. Court of Appeals in Lund v. Cowan (9th Cir. 2021) ___ F.3d ___. Bradford Lund, a 50 year-old grandson of Walt Disney, sued the probate judge who rejected a settlement agreement that would have allowed him to access his approximately $200 million inheritance, and the federal appellate court affirmed the dismissal of the suit.

The real drama has played out in the probate department of the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Litigation there has spanned 15 years with no FASTPASS or end in sight. Bradford’s story is unlike any Disney movie we have seen, but equally entertaining.  (Click to continue)

I HATE GASLIGHTERS & THEIR LITTLE INDOCTRINATED PUPPETS

Still image from – “Hello Baltimore by Lloyd Marcus the Unhyphenated American” video – 2015

By Carrie K. Hutchens

I’ve met some gaslighters throughout my life-time, but never in the abundance found in present day society.  It’s overwhelming.  It’s maddening.  It’s enough to make a pacifist go ballistic and not so gently put some faces (along with the bodies) in a corner for a major forced time-out.

Oh, and those little indoctrinated puppets that think they are so very smart and righteous make a polite person want to scream all those words we thought we would never use. 

Who raised those brats who have no impulse control and think they have some special right to kick people in the head (attempted murder in my book) and not have anyone fight back?  Who taught them that it was pure and good to run in packs in search of a helpless victim to viciously beat, stomp and kick without mercy?

The feral monsters roaming the streets looking for prey have lost their way – if ever they had it to begin with.  They are nothing more than a plague the masters have released upon society to cause a chaos they blame on the opposition… a chaos they claim they can save us from.

It’s all a game.

A dirty game.

A game only the dishonest and vicious would instigate.

The masters have no conscience, as they seek power and more power and even that isn’t enough – they must have the ultimate power to control all people and all things at all times.

The indoctrinated have no clue.

It’s said quite frequently that Trump supporters are a cult, which would suggest that they mindlessly follow him with no thought of their own.   How wrong those are who say it and those who believe it.  Trump supporters are not of “one mind” or “one thought” and definitely not into “talking points” such as seen on MSM, where it seems everyone is following the same script hour after hour, day after day.

Nope!  You aren’t going to see Trump supporters parroting talking points like good little puppets.  They think and talk for themselves – obviously so.

I’ve never seen or heard of Trump supporters stopping traffic, pulling someone out of the vehicle, beating the heck out of them and kicking the person in the head for the heck of it, but I have seen the feral monsters of the Left do so and so have you, if you follow the chaos on the internet.

All that violence is from the Left… allowed by the Left… and protected by the Left.

(Who encourages them… allows them to do… and bails them out after they have?)

MSM spews the lie that the rioters are the victims (or champions of same) and we are all to blame, and therefore, by insinuation, if not direct claim, that we deserve the violence, destruction, injury and even death at the hands of these so-called victims, aka champions.

BS

Yes, that is right.

I call BS, as you should.

I call it as I should, as you should, as every normal and law-abiding person should.

The feral monsters are obviously physically dangerous and meant to terrify the population.  There seems to be no reasoning with them, once they have their sights on a chosen victim.

Then there are the indoctrinated puppets that get on Twitter, for example, and proclaim they are all knowledgeable and everyone else that doesn’t agree with them are ignorant racist Trump-supporting Walmart shoppers who probably live in trailers and don’t have degrees, because after all, that is what they are told the opposition either is or to accuse them of that anyways.  Alinsky tactics come to mind, as well they should.

The latter indoctrinated puppets are quite dangerous in their own way.

While the feral monsters are meant to gain power and conquer the population by fear, the latter indoctrinated puppets are used for mind control, so to speak.

They sound smart and in control.

They lie.

They say lies well.

They toy with peoples’ minds.

They are gaslighters-in-waiting.

They may not even have a clue they were gaslighted.

Maybe they do.

What they don’t do is refer to history or even current events about how this story has played out elsewhere and will play out here, if they win the game.

They “think” they will be the winners.

Wrong!

They are only tools… only a means.  They are/were never meant to be anything more, should the Left win this battle of the souls.  After all, there are only a few slots at the top of the power grab and only a select few were ever intended to occupy them.

Think a puppet would be given one of those precious slots?

I hate gaslighters and indoctrinated puppets.

(Did I say that already?)

Both try to convince you truth is a lie and lie is a truth.

One is trying to redefine truth into what they say it is for the purpose of taking control.  The other is a fool that has fallen for all the gaslighting and is nothing more than a tool to be tossed aside, should the gaslighter win the game.

The irony…

Only a few slots exist in a realm of dictatorship.

(Did I say that already?)

Not all gaslighters get a slot either, but I guess they haven’t figured that out yet.

I enjoy knowing that I am far smarter than the puppet, since I think for myself, rather than think what someone feeds me to think.

I enjoy being smarter than a gaslighter as well.  I don’t need to make others think they are crazy, so I can win by forcing wrongful thoughts and illusions upon them.

I enjoy not having to chase people down and beat them to death, or near death, for the lack of impulse control and whatever else creates such feral monsters that I am not.

I hate gaslighters and indoctrinated puppets.

Oh yes, I do.

I’m ready for sanity and law and order to return and put them out of business.

It’s time.

Video captures Oklahoma airman’s kind act after seeing woman in need

OKLAHOMA CITY — A random act of kindness caught on video shows Airman Jibril Jennings pulling over to help an elderly woman walking with her groceries along a busy Oklahoma road.

The viral video is already getting millions of views and has more than 40,000 shares.

Jennings doesn’t believe he did anything heroic, he said he just stopped to help a neighbor in need.

With her walker full of grocery bags, Janice Hall still had more than 2 miles to go in the blistering heat when Tinker Airman Jibril Jennings happened to drive by.

“There was a human being in the middle of the road that obviously needed help, and everyone was just driving past,” Jennings said.

“I went from the post office to Walmart, then from Walmart to my bank,” Hall said.

After pulling over and loading his car up with Hall’s groceries, the two took off, making their way toward Janice’s home and sparking a friendship that would touch thousands of strangers.

“I could tell it meant so much to her someone was helping out,” Jennings said.

What they didn’t know was that somebody else saw Jennings’s act of kindness. That person recorded the entire thing and posted it online, where it was soon shared and seen by millions.

“I told him he deserved a hug. I just gave him a great big old hug and thanked him. Then he went on his way,” Hall said.

But, true to how most heroes often react, Jibril said it was all in a day’s work, and that he was simply doing his job.

“I don’t think this is a hero’s moment. I think this is something anybody should be able to do. If this qualifies for a hero, anybody could be a hero,” he said.

Jibril and Janice said they plan to remain lifelong friends. He has even organized a group of airmen to come and help with repairs to her home.

Let’s Say a Reporter (Real One) was Subpoenaed by Left-Leaning Committee

I was reading, “Barr spars with Nadler, threatens to skip testimony after dispute over hearing format” and became both agitated and amused.  This is some crazy stuff we are witnessing and I felt an overwhelming need to share the analogy that immediately came to mind.

Let’s say a reporter (real one) read the police report of a robbery & reported on it.  Reported strictly on what the report itself said.  No opinion.  No assumption.  Simply reported what was reported to law enforcement.

A suspect was arrested.

The reporter (real one) simply reported a suspect was arrested.

The suspect appeared at a hearing.

The D.A. stepped forward & asked that the suspect be released and all charges dismissed.  D.A. stated evidence had been found that this person was not guilty of the robbery after all.  The judge agreed & charges were dismissed.

The reporter (real one) reports:

“The D.A. stepped forward & asked that the suspect be released and all charges dismissed.  D.A. stated evidence had been found that this person was not guilty of the robbery after all.  The judge agreed & charges were dismissed.”

The left-leaning Committee becomes outraged. 

How dare the D.A. state there was evidence the suspect was not guilty?

How dare the D.A. ask for a dismissal of charges?

How dare the judge agree?

How dare the reporter (real one) report what transpired?

The Committee, after all, knows the suspect must be guilty.  It’s declared that the evidence is in plain-sight.  Some say they have seen it.  Many declare the suspect and reporter must be removed from their jobs.  There must be transparency – they will have a hearing and call the reporter (real one).  Yes, they are sure, they claim, they will expose the reporter’s (real one’s) attempted cover-up, find a way to make the suspect guilty and thereby over-ride the D.A. and judge.

The reporter (real one) was subpoenaed to the hearing.

It was obvious the Committee was hostile and determined to challenge the reporter’s (real one’s) integrity and right to continue in their position.

The reporter (real one) states upfront that they have no idea why they were asked to appear before the committee.  They weren’t involved in the crime, the reporting of it to the police, the investigation, the outcome of that investigation, the D.A. deciding to request a dismissal or what evidence he was talking about, nor the judge’s decision.  All they – the reporter (real one) – had done was to report what had transpired with nothing added or deleted, including personal commentary, especially regarding the evidence, individuals involved, or results thereof.

A robbery happened.

It was investigated.

A suspect was arrested.

A suspect went to court.

The D.A. stated further evidence proved they had the wrong person.

The D.A. asked for dismissal.

The judge agreed to the dismissal.

What part of that was the reporter (real one) responsible for? 

What part did the reporter (real one) influence in some way?

How is the reporter (real one) lacking in integrity?

How is the reporter (real one) being dishonest?

All of that being irrelevant to the Committee, they demanded the reporter (real one) present everything involved in the incident, investigation & conclusions to them.  The reporter (real one) reminded them that they already had access to all that information, excluding anything by law the officers & D.A. were not allowed to share.

Committee members, as often seen, postured during the hearing and afterwards rushed to appear in front of the cameras.  The reporter (real one), they claim with such righteous indignation, hadn’t been forthcoming with them and denied them the reports they needed to fully investigate the case and provide the public with the facts.

Okay.

The reporter (real one) – whose only part in this entire situation was to report on the actions and findings of others – is suddenly not forthcoming and hiding information from the Committee?  Information that they already have or can readily obtain?

Insanity comes to mind.

Attorney General Barr, did not hire the team to investigate the Russian interference, nor did he prepare the investigation summary and conclusion.  That was Mueller & Team.

(The reporter (real one) reporting the actions and conclusion of those handling the case.)

Attorney General Barr, did not alter anything.  He presented the report “AS IS” with only redaction of information not allowed to be readily shared.

(The reporter (real one) reporting the actions and conclusion of those handling the case.)

Attorney General Barr, was left to conclude one aspect.  Did anything the President do appear to actually be obstruction?  No.  It didn’t.  (A conclusion based on the information the Mueller Team presented.)

(The judge agreeing with the D.A.’s findings.)

The left-leaning Committees apparently don’t like Mueller & Team’s conclusions that President Trump neither engaged in collusion nor obstruction, so they are going to proceed with further investigation, until they can find something… anything… to blame him for?  And, part of their plan is to take down Barr for daring to report what transpired and what Mueller concluded as a result thereof?

Yes, insanity, or perhaps corruption and lack of actual integrity on the part of those participating in the dishonesty, crazy behavior and out-in-left field allegations are possibilities we should wonder about, shouldn’t we?  It matters not which.  What is transpiring is not what we should expect from rational adults, especially ones in control of the lives of others and our country.

A.G. Barr is guilty of nothing.

The left-leaning Committees, on the other hand, have much to answer for.

The Truth Behind Democrats’ Election Bill, H.R. 1

Kevin McCarthy – Published on Mar 6, 2019

There is a new majority in the House of Representatives, and guess what? They want the government to interfere in our free and fair elections.

It’s Nancy Pelosi’s number one priority. In fact, the legislation is called “H.R. 1.” Here’s what it would do:

First: the bill sends your taxpayer dollars to fund political campaigns. Not to build roads or bridges but to add 600 percent of taxpayer money to every small dollar donated by Americans. So let’s say Mary from Michigan donates $200 to her preferred candidate. Well, now you—the taxpayer—have just chipped in another 1,200 bucks.

Second: H.R. 1 would legalize voting for convicted felons all over the country…even if they were convicted of election fraud. Does that make sense to you? Not only is this dangerous…it’s unconstitutional.

Third: H.R. 1 would weaken the security of our elections and make it harder to protect against voter fraud. Here’s how: It would automatically register voters from DMV and other government databases. Voting is a right, not a mandate. In most cases, this legislation would actually prevent officials from removing ineligible voters from the rolls and would make it much more difficult to verify the accuracy of voter information. So future voters might be underage or dead or illegal immigrants, or registered two or three times….Democrats just don’t care.

Democrats call H.R. 1 the “For the People Act.” But it’s really a “For the Politicians Act.” It’s not designed to protect your vote. It’s designed to put a thumb on the scale of every election in America and keep the swamp swampy.
