News 100 Nights of Hero 100 Nights of Hero Trailer Offers a Surreal and Seductive Fairy Tale Story The movie is based on the graphic novel by Isabel Greenberg. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on November 3, 2025 Photo: Independent Film Company. An Independent Film Company Release. Comment 0 Share New Share Photo: Independent Film Company. An Independent Film Company Release. Writer-director Julia Jackman’s upcoming film 100 Nights of Hero has been described as a fairy tale romance. In it, a newly wedded woman with a bit too-on-the-nose name of Cherry (played by Longlegs star Maika Monroe) finds herself at the end of a dark wager when her husband—who has yet to touch Cherry in any romantic way—bets Manfred, a house guest played by Nicholas Galitzine (The Idea of You), that he can’t bed his wife in 100 days. Involved in this unexpected love (lust?) triangle is Cherry’s maid, Hero, played by Emma Corrin, whose previous credits include Nosferatu. The movie is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Isabel Greenberg, and Jackman said in a statement that “making this film has been a longtime dream” ever since she first read the story years ago. “It’s been a joy to shape its world and characters into something new, and I’m thrilled it found a home at Independent Film Compareny,” Jackman added in a statement announcing that the film was picked up by IFC for distribution in the U.S. “I cannot wait to share it with a broader audience—led by the extraordinary talents of our brilliant ensemble cast.” That ensemble cast includes Amir El-Masry (Limbo), Charli XCX (I Want Your Sex), Richard E. Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), and Felicity Jones (The Brutalist). The trailer, released today, sets up the premise well, and also gives off some surreal vibes as Corrin’s Hero aims to tell a story each night to keep Galitzine’s character from winning the bet. (Yes, the nod toward The Arabian Nights is intentional.) How the tale plays out remains unclear, especially since the trailer shows Cherry in partially naked entanglements with Manfred. You can watch the story unfold yourself when 100 Nights of Hero premieres in theaters on December 5, 2025. Check the trailer out below while you wait.

The great Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda once said, “There are three kinds of people in this world: people who make it happen, people who watch what happens, and people who wonder what happened.” Jack Ciattarelli makes things happen. He’s a doer. Jack is an amazing leader, with a bold and achievable vision to revitalize New Jersey after eight long years of chaos and misrule. He is honest, dynamic, and absolutely committed to each and every one of you. Jack will: end the lawlessness of Gov. Phil Murphy and Rep. Mikie Sherrill‘s sanctuary state; make New Jersey affordable; fight to lower the unconscionable high tax burden on everyone living in our great state; support both private and public education without imposing the woke agenda on our kids; lower energy costs; end the misguided ocean wind experiment that not only will drive up energy costs to every consumer, kill whales, and eviscerate our ocean environment, but is extremely dangerous because it degrades and distorts marine and aviation radar; and strongly support law enforcement. Like President Donald Trump, both Jack and his running mate for lieutenant governor, Sheriff Jim Gannon, will always have the backs of those women and men in uniform who put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities. The fact that Sherrill voted to end qualified immunity is outrageous and puts every cop on the beat at risk. The fact that Sherrill refuses to release her records from the infamous 1994 Annapolis cheating scandal—and my House colleagues Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., Rep. Tom Kean, D-N.J., and I have publicly called on her to do so—begs the question: What is she hiding? Sherrill is AWOL in Washington and failed to vote on the most important national security legislation—the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). As Ronald Reagan succinctly put it—it’s time for a change. Jack Ciattarelli for Governor! It’s time. We publish a variety of perspectives.

Election Day is upon us. Though we are still a year away from the vital 2026 midterm congressional elections, there are still a number of races garnering national attention for one reason or another. Will President Donald Trump’s 2024 red shift in blue states continue? Will the Democratic Party lurch further to the Left? Here is a quick preview of what races to watch on Tuesday. Minneapolis Mayor Race Two mayor races have become prominent in this election cycle. While Minneapolis perhaps doesn’t quite reach the level of attention of a New York City, it has its own version of Zohran Mamdani who looks to pull the Democratic Party even further to the Left. The city’s ranked-choice voting system has ensured that the top two candidates will be Democrats. The first is incumbent Mayor Jacob Frey, a man who already veers far to the Left and was an enthusiastic supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement when the city was hit by riots in the summer of 2020. Challenging him is democratic socialist Omar Fateh, the son of Somali immigrants who became the first Muslim to serve in the Minnesota Senate after his victory in the 2020 election. My colleague, Tyler O’Neil, wrote about Fateh in his preview of the mayor’s race: A self-declared democratic socialist and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, Fateh is running on a platform of raising taxes “to ensure the wealthy pay their fair share.” He champions “environmental justice.” … The state senator seems to be leveraging the influence of the small but influential Somali Muslim community in Minneapolis. The Minnesota insider described the Somali community as a “very important voting bloc” that is “not the majority” of the city but extremely influential. Members of this community reportedly went to train with the terrorist group al Shabaab in Somalia and the Islamic State, but law enforcement has partnered with the community to oppose radicalism. NYC Mayor Race It’s rare that a mayor’s race garners so much national attention, but this is a big one in the Big Apple. In one corner, you have 34-year-old New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America who ran a successful insurgent campaign in the Democrat primary. He’s been the frontrunner since his June victory. In the other corners are Andrew Coumo, the former governor of New York who was defeated in the Democrat primary and now is running an independent campaign, and Curtis Sliwa, the Republican. Sliwa is the founder of the Guardian Angels, an anti-crime organization started in the late 1970s. Mamdani staked out a position of resistance to President Donald Trump and federal immigration law enforcement. His platform leads with his message about housing being too expensive and offers mostly government solutions to the problem which boils down to tax the rich, tax the whites in a city held to be the financial capital of the United States. Not only that, but he’s also made himself cozy with radical Islamists and refused to condemn the phrase, “globalize the Intifada.” Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., who has entered what’s looking like a close race for New York governor in 2026 commented on Mamdani’s unseemly connections. This is who the Worst Governor in America @KathyHochul is proud to endorse:"He looks pretty happy to be there. Zohran Mamdani wants to be the next Mayor of New York City…Who is he with? He's with an Imam who once urged for jihad on the Big Apple, and he is smiling. This is an… pic.twitter.com/7WxPJmAl3K— Elise Stefanik (@EliseStefanik) October 26, 2025 Cuomo has taken up the position as the experienced choice who knows how to govern and has condemned Mamdani’s radicalism. Sliva has maintained that he is the true anti-Mamdani choice and is the only candidate who has been consistently serious about stopping and preventing crime in the city. Recent polls show that the race may be tightening, though many polls also showed Cuomo winning the primary. One way or another, what happens in the New York mayor’s race will have repercussions not just for the city but the country. New Jersey Governor Race Few states shifted more dramatically to the right in 2024 than New Jersey. While the Garden State still ended up casting its electoral college votes for former Vice President Kamala Harris, the dramatic voter shift was notable. Is New Jersey a purple state now? Is it maybe even leaning red? Those are the questions looking to be answered in the New Jersey governor’s race where Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli face off to replace Gov. Phil Murphy who is being term-limited out of office. Ciattarelli came close to beating Murphy in the last election. Most polls show that Sherrill leads Ciattarelli, but the race has tightened considerably since it began. According to RealClearPolling, Sherrill began with a 21-point lead in June, but current polling averages show an under four-point separation between the candidates. The race has been close enough that even former President Barack Obama went on the campaign trail to help Sherrill over the finish line. Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy came out to help Ciattarelli. ? ? https://t.co/QFSzyYSrKC— Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) October 16, 2025 “New Jersey is a state with a lot of Republicans who just don’t know yet that they’re actually Republicans,” Ramaswamy said when visiting in mid-October.  Virginia AG Race The Virginia attorney general race has become one of national importance not just because Virginia is a key electoral battleground, but because of a singular issue that has changed the race. Democrat Jay Jones, who is challenging incumbent Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares, came under scrutiny after a series of his texts were published by National Review where he said he wanted the former Republican speaker of the Virginia House and his children to be shot. The texts were from 2022 but surfaced not long after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Despite calls for Jones to leave the race, he apologized and decided to continue his campaign. Virginia Democrats have refused to call for Jones to abandon the race. According to polls, Miyares opened up a significant lead over Jones after the texts surfaced and maintains that lead into election day. There are two major questions about this race heading into election day. What can be expected of an elected official who has wished violent death on his opponents once he’s in office? That Jones trails badly in the race may resolve that issue, but another question is whether his comments will drag down the rest of the Democrat ticket. Virginia Governor Race The race for Virginia governor is shaping up to be a possible bellwether for the 2026 midterms, so it’s received a great deal of attention. Republican Gov. Glenn Younkin was ineligible to run due to Virginia’s unique ban on consecutive terms for governor. Set to replace him are his Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears or Democrat candidate Abigail Spanberger. Spanberger is a congresswoman and a former CIA agent. She’s been leading in the polls throughout the race, but her lead has narrowed in recent days. This is likely in part due to the aforementioned attorney general race. Spanberger has run as a defender of federal employees, an issue particularly salient in the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington. But she’s been unwilling to address major issues that Earle-Sears has campaigned on. The first is the issue of transgender ideology, which in part vaulted Youngkin to office in 2021. Spanberger has essentially punted on the issue and refuses to address it. The second issue is the comments by Jones. Not only has she continued to support Jones, but she refused to engage Earle-Sears on the issue when it came up during their October debate. Virginia’s @WinsomeSears asks @SpanbergerForVA why she won’t condemn Dem AG candidate Jay Jones for calling for the kids of a political opponent to die while Spanberger refuses to even look at her in their debate. This is powerful. pic.twitter.com/KTGsNAd67L— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) October 10, 2025 The post Here Are 5 Elections to Watch on Election Day appeared first on The Daily Signal.

On Tuesday, Pennsylvania voters will decide whether they want to retain the Democrat majority on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Three Democrat justices of the seven-person court are up for a retention vote, and the results could impact the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election in the Keystone State, which could be a cause for concern for potential 2028 Democrat presidential candidate Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro. If all three justices are not retained, then the court will have an even split between Republican and Democrat justices until the 2027 elections, and a chance for a Republican majority if those following elections go the GOP’s way. The election provides Republicans a chance at redemption because Republicans lost all three state Supreme Court seats by about 3 to 4 points in the last election that was held in 2015. Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices serve for 10-year terms and can hold office until the mandatory retirement age of 75. One of the three justices up for retention, Christine Donohue, would reach mandatory retirement in 2027. Pennsylvania Is Becoming More Red “Pennsylvania has been trending more and more red over the past decade with a nearly equal split now between registered Democrat and Republican voters,” Vince Benedetto, the founder and president of Bold Gold Media Group, which broadcasts political commentary throughout Pennsylvania and New York, told The Daily Signal. Benedetto said to “expect extremely close races where a relatively small number of votes will decide major election outcomes and could decide national balance of power.” And, for Pennsylvania voters, election integrity remains top of mind: “How those votes are counted will be watched very closely!” the broadcaster said. Election Integrity Remains a Priority Matthew Brouillett, president and CEO of the Commonwealth Partners Chamber of Entrepreneurs, a 501c6 membership organization that supports free-market principles, expressed discontent with The Daily Signal over some of the past decisions by the state justices up for retention—especially those involving election integrity. “Over the past 10 years, Justices Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht have ignored clearly-written laws to issue orders that contradict these laws. For example, on gerrymandering, the law is clear that it’s the legislature’s job to draw maps. But in 2018, the court said it wanted to draw its own map, which benefitted Democrats,” Brouillett said. He also criticized the court’s decision regarding late ballots for the 2020 general elections in Pennsylvania. “On mail-in ballots, the law is clear that ballots must arrive by 8:00 pm on Election Day. But in 2020, the court told counties to ignore this law,” Brouillett continued. “Also on mail-in ballots, the law is clear that ballots must be dated, but in 2020, the court said undated ballots in Allegheny County would count just this once, even though Justice Donohue literally said that the decision allowed ‘technical violations of the Election Code.’” When asked about what the impact on perceived election integrity, Benedetto “If those justices are retained, it will almost certainly keep fueling doubts on Pennsylvania election integrity while also allowing past, rather extraordinary judicial intervention in matters historically left to the state legislature, to become precedent.” Ken Martin, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, told The Pennsylvania Capital Star that he viewed the stakes as, “Everything from redistricting and education funding and everything else that comes before the courts,” among other issues. “What you want is fair-minded independent judges on the bench who are going to take their job seriously, which is to not legislate or push an agenda, but actually base their decisions on the rule of law and base their decision on legal precedent, not on politics,” Martin added. Conservatives’ Chance of Victory? Benedetto also said that “From an historical perspective in PA, the odds generally favor judges being retained.” Since 1968, only one statewide judge has lost their retention race. That was Democrat Justice Russell Nigro, who lost retention in 2005 by a slim margin of 49% to 51%. He blamed voter anger over pay raises for Pennsylvania government officials as a reason for his loss. Nigro’s colleague, however, Justice Sandra Schultz Newman won retention that same year by vote of 54% to 46%. Still there a variety of one-off factors this year that could make Pennsylvania history. “Polling-wise, it’s a mixed bag and very unpredictable this year, thanks to all the national noise, government shutdown drama and influx of spending into the races by both parties,” Benedetto noted. A Franklin & Marshall College poll conducted in late September and early October found that 43%, 51%, and 55% of registered Pennsylvania voters did not know if they were going to vote to retain Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht, respectively. “Polling shows a very large numbers of undecideds, with ‘No’ votes polling higher than usual, but it’s tight. Also, retention votes are often more complex to message to voters, which often leads to a lot of undecideds in the data,” he concluded.

BBC Caught Doctoring Video of Trump

Over the weekend, President Trump made it clear that he is strongly considering sending U.S. troops into Nigeria, to stop the killings of Christians by Muslim groups, killings he says are permitted by Nigeria's government. You would think that most people, especially people of faith, would be outraged by what's taking place in Nigeria, and welcome Trump's words. Not so for Reverend Al Sharpton, who made that clear on the Sunday edition of MSNBC's Politics Nation.  Sharpton's guest was the House Democrat Whip, Congresswoman Katherine Clark of Massachusetts. He led off the interview by talking to her about the government shutdown, but before he let her go, he weighed in on the situation in Nigeria.  SHARPTON: Trump has threatened military action in Nigeria...He has directed the Pentagon to draw up plans to go in, quote, "guns a-blazing," if the country doesn't do more to address alleged mass killings of thousands of Christians by Islamic extremists. Trump of course offered no details or facts, or things that we could really lock down and say this is what we see happening. "Alleged" massacre of Christians? This isn't fake news, like Tawana Brawley's claims. Take the European Parliament, which reported "Between 2019 and 2023, nearly 17,000 Christians were killed in targeted attacks because of their faith. In just the first seven months of 2025, more than 7,000 victims were reported." As if that wasn't bad enough, Reverend Al the alleged Christian took it a step further. SHARPTON: But he's threatened to deny all aid to Nigeria if it doesn't comply. He's also reclassified Nigeria as a country of concern, as he had during his first term. I have to point out like Venezuela, Nigeria is a top oil producer, and it's interesting, he's only choosing non-white countries, where in Ukraine and other places, he seems to be a lot more -- less aggressive with his language, in terms of coming in with guns blazing at Russia. I'm sorry, did I miss Sharpton's concern, any concern, one bit of concern, for the Christians who are, even allegedly, being killed by Muslims in Nigeria? And he wasn't about to ask the Congresswoman what she might know about it. Instead, he wanted to know when Congress will "reclaim its war powers" from Trump. And Clark was more than happy to comply. Her answer made no mention of the Christians, but attacked Trump for "acting like a King" and for the hits on ships out of Venezuela, that are allegedly making drug runs.  Earlier in the interview, Sharpton did asked her about her comments made on October 16th to Fox News's Chad Pergram, in response to a question about the risk that the Democrats could get blamed for the government shutdown, for failing to pass the bill to open the government in the Senate.    Sharpton said "Last month you said the shutdown would hurt the American people, but you were criticized by Republicans for calling it as a leverage point for Democrats." Clark didn't seem thrilled but get a load of her response: "Well out of respect for you Rev, I will address the argument of Republicans from  that I did a while ago, and just say that it is BS. It is a highly edited clip." Whoa! A highly edited clip. I think not. I recently watched the whole 28 minute interview. Here's the Q and A, unedited that made news.  PERGRAM: I understand the math in the Senate. I understand the  healthcare position for the Democrats. No responsibility on the Democrats? You don't think that the public will perceive that the Democrats are responsible. CLARK: I mean shutdowns are terrible. And of course there will be you know, families that are going to suffer, we take that responsibility very seriously. But it is one of the few leverage times we have. It is an inflection point in this budget process..." She then immediately went back to Dem talking points. That answer was not edited. She said what she said. All in all, it was quite a show. But let none of us lose sight of the fact that neither Reverend Al, nor the second ranking Democrat in the House, uttered one word of concern about the Christians of Nigeria. Sadly, going after "King" Trump trumped that horror.
