News Josh Hartnett Josh Hartnett to Star in Sea Creature Series Heading to Netflix No news yet on whether Hartnett will be playing said sea creature. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on May 22, 2025 Screenshot: Miramax Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Miramax Josh Hartnett will be playing the lead role in a six-episode limited series that will be shot in Newfoundland. There isn’t an official title yet for the show, but here’s the logline, per Variety: When a mysterious sea creature terrorizes a remote Newfoundland town, a hard-bitten fisherman must fight to protect his family, his community and his vanishing way of life. With Hartnett taking on the lead role, he’ll either be playing the “hard-bitten fisherman“ or the “mysterious sea creature.” Or perhaps both! Or probably not; odds are more than good that he’ll be that rugged fisherman, and will likely sport a beard for the part. Hartnett has recently starred in the movie Trap, [ed note: I think you mean “the stone-cold MASTERPIECE Trap”] and he’s also known for his roles on Penny Dreadful, Oppenheimer, and several films of the ‘90s and ‘00s including The Faculty, Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbor, and Lucky Number Slevin. He’s also an American treasure. Hartnett will also serve as executive producer along with Jessica Rhoades, a producer who also worked on Sharp Objects, Station Eleven, and Black Mirror. The sea creature series comes from Jesse McKeown, who will serve as executive producer and showrunner, and whose previous credits include writing on The Umbrella Academy, Letterkenny, and The Sinner. No news on when the series will go in production or when it will make its way to Netflix.

Five inmates who escaped a New Orleans jail Friday remained at large Thursday, and Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry has repeatedly suggested that Hungarian American billionaire George Soros is at least partly to blame. Ten inmates escaped, five have been captured, and five remain at large, Louisiana State Police confirmed to The Daily Signal Thursday afternoon. A multistate manhunt is ongoing after the inmates escaped after midnight Friday from Orleans Parish Prison, the city jail for New Orleans. A technician at the jail faces charges for allegedly assisting the escape. Landry, a Republican, pointed the finger at Soros, who supported the campaigns of local law enforcement, in one case indirectly. (The Open Society Foundations, which Soros founded and which often speaks for him, did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment.) “This is what happens when George Soros funds New Orleans elections,” Landry said of the jailbreak on X. 10 violent criminals escape Orleans Parish Prison.

Landry said the jail falls under Sheriff Susan Hutson’s jurisdiction, and he blamed Hutson and District Attorney Justin Williams for allowing the jail to become overcrowded. He said Hutson and Williams delay sentencing inmates, holding them longer in the jail before they can be transferred to state prison. “George Soros came over the last decade or so and spent a ton of money in the city of New Orleans, electing these progressive people,” Landry said. “It’s like he came [as] Santa Claus, and inside his sack, he put out a DA [district attorney], a sheriff, and I think about six judges, and we have been having problems in that city ever since.” ?5 inmates are on the loose due to George Soros' funding, says @LAGovJeffLandry Soros helped get the New Orleans DA (directly) and sheriff (indirectly) elected, and Landry says his soft-on-crime approach contributed to a jailbreak Friday.https://t.co/GAJfLlDlaE pic.twitter.com/PEFrNVMa7H— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) May 22, 2025 Soros personally contributed $220,000 to the Louisiana Justice & Public Safety PAC, which supported Williams’ campaign in 2020, according to public records. PAC for Justice, which supported Hutson’s 2021 campaign, received $150,000 from the Sixteen Thirty Fund, according to public records. The Open Society Policy Center gave Sixteen Thirty Fund $23.8 million in 2021, according to IRS records. While donors besides Soros contribute to Open Society and donors besides Open Society contribute to Sixteen Thirty Fund, Soros does influence Sixteen Thirty Fund’s philanthropy. Neither the Open Society Foundations nor Sixteen Thirty Fund responded to The Daily Signal’s request for comment. Soros’ Prosecutors Soros has spent money propping up local district attorneys across the country who champion a form of criminal justice reform that critics say goes soft on criminals and allows crime to fester. “Unfortunately, George Soros and other liberal billionaires have focused on electing to office prosecutors who are committed to not prosecuting entire categories of crimes and not seeking appropriate punishments for those who are convicted of committing even violent crimes,” Zack Smith, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal. He co-authored the book “Rogue Prosecutors: How Radical Soros Lawyers Are Destroying America’s Communities.” “This push to implement a radical ideological agenda has come at the expense of doing the basic blocking-and-tackling needed to keep communities safe, and, unfortunately, this appears to be yet another manifestation of that phenomenon,” Smith added. Soros’s Open Society Foundations, now run by his son, Alex Soros, has bankrolled a broad swath of left-leaning organizations. It and Sixteen Thirty Fund form part of what I describe as the Left’s dark money network in my book, “The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.” Neither Williams nor Hutson responded to The Daily Signal’s request for comment. The Jailbreak and the Manhunt Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, a Republican, is investigating the jailbreak, while the Louisiana State Police head up the effort to recapture the inmates. State Police Lt. Jared Sandifer confirmed to The Daily Signal that the police arrested 32-year-old Cortnie Harris and 38-year-old Corvanntay Baptiste, who are the girlfriends of two escapees, according to Fox News Digital. Sandifer confirmed that Leo Tate (Harris’ boyfriend, according to Fox) remains at large while police captured Corey Boyd (Baptiste’s boyfriend, according to Fox) Tuesday. Murrill’s office arrested 33-year-old Sterling Williams, a technician at the jail, on Tuesday, charging him with abetting the escape. Inmates tampered with a cell door and sneaked out through a hole in the wall behind a metal toilet while Williams had stepped away for food after midnight. One of the inmates asked Williams to turn the water off in the cell from which the inmates later escaped. Rather than reporting the inmate, Williams turned the water off, “allowing the inmates to carry out their scheme to successfully escape,” according to Murrill’s office. ATF is offering a $5,000 reward, in addition to the $5,000 reward from Crimestoppers and the $10,000 reward from the FBI.If you have any info on the location of the fugitives, contact:LSP Fusion Center: 225-925-4192Crimestoppers: 504-822-1111FBI – New Orleans: 1-800-CALL pic.twitter.com/5HkyS8XNQv— LA State Police (@LAStatePolice) May 22, 2025 Williams, the district attorney, called the escape “a complete failure of the most basic responsibilities entrusted to a sheriff or jail administrator,” CNN reported. Hutson has suspended her reelection campaign in the jailbreak’s aftermath. Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office Maj. Silas Phipps Jr. said the department was “underfunded, understaffed, underpaid.” Murrill said, “Someone clearly dropped the ball, and there’s no excuse for this.” When the inmates escaped, they left a message on the wall above the hole reading, “To Easy LoL.” The inmates were in the jail on a variety of charges, including murder, aggravated assault with a firearm, and domestic abuse battery.

Yes, There Definitely Was a Cover Up of Biden's Decline

Despite admitting that white people were having their land taken by the South African government as racial retribution, the leftist extremists of ABC’s The View opened Thursday’s show by arguing that not enough white people had been killed fast enough for it to be considered a “genocide” as President Trump said. According to their ghoulish hate, any suggestion otherwise was “false conspiracy theory.” “THERE IS NO GENOCIDE!” moderator and racist, Whoopi Goldberg yelled as co-host Sara Haines suggested that over 1,300 targeted killings of white farmers were not enough to care about: It was false conspiracy theory. The fact that the president was -- the president of South Africa was trying to share was that data collected by white farmers themselves, these are the white farmers, has counted 1,363 white farmers murdered since 1990, which is an average of 40 a year. Far less than one percent of total murders. The rest are all black people! So, there's no genocide going on. She followed up by admitting that the lands owned by whites was indeed being taken away from them as a form of racial retribution, but it supposedly didn’t happen often and they were supposedly offered money. “The government will occasionally come to remedy some of the problems with apartheid that happened for 50 years in that country, they will come and with compensation,” she argued. “They will take the land occasionally back. So, what he did was took two little seeds and just like did his own thing with that. He was completely false and wrong!” Haines never addressed the question of ‘what if the farmer didn’t accept the compensation and didn’t want to leave?’ And despite showing clips of Trump interacting with South African president Cyril Ramaphosa, they never showed the video Trump played of rally goers chanting “kill the boer, killer the farmer.”     Perhaps The View should be confronted with the fact that they’re trying to make a distinction that didn’t really have a difference. Taking the lands from one ethnic group to give to another actually had a definition: ethnic cleansing. Encyclopedia Britannica’s definition of ethnic cleansing, which it notes as a war crime: “the attempt to create ethnically homogeneous geographic areas through the deportation or forcible displacement of persons belonging to particular ethnic groups.” Britannica even offered a synopsis of the debate regarding if it should lumped in with genocide: Ethnic cleansing as a concept has generated considerable controversy. Some critics see little difference between it and genocide. Defenders, however, argue that ethnic cleansing and genocide can be distinguished by the intent of the perpetrator: whereas the primary goal of genocide is the destruction of an ethnic, racial, or religious group, the main purpose of ethnic cleansing is the establishment of ethnically homogeneous lands, which may be achieved by any of a number of methods including genocide. Back on The View, Goldberg was shouting about how there couldn’t be a white genocide because she and Sunny Hostin’s son had been there over the years: GOLDBERG: Yeah, it just -- Look, I'll just say it like this, I made movies in South Africa. I've been to South Africa. I sent your son – HOSTIN: You sent my son to South Africa. GOLDBERG: - to South Africa to talk to people that I know who still live there. There's no white genocide. Okay? They're not -- there's not a genocide happening. There is crime as there is all over the world. Faux conservative Alyssa Farah Griffin whined that Trump had given refugee status to white South Africans and made it into a zero sum game with American allies from Afghanistan. “I think what frustrates me with this is, so he's prioritizing giving refugee status to these people,” she decried. “I've always believed America should prioritize the most in need refugees…” Joyless Joy Behar suggested that by allowing “white Africans in,” Trump was somehow “giving the middle finger to the black community? My god!” Goldberg disagreed because “that finger has never gone down!” “The fact is that he's bringing white people in here against the better judgment about all of the nonwhite people who need it,” Behar whined.

Because this is what they're going to deal you. It was false conspiracy theory. The fact that the president was -- the president of South Africa was trying to share was that data collected by white farmers themselves, these are the white farmers, has counted 1,363 white farmers murdered since 1990, which is an average of 40 a year.

HAINES: But the thing he's talking about – usually all conspiracy is taking bits of fact and choosing your own adventure is, the government will occasionally come to remedy some of the problems with apartheid that happened for 50 years in that country, they will come and with compensation – GOLDBERG: And return. HAINES: - they will take the land occasionally back. So, what he did was took two little seeds and just like did his own thing with that. He was completely false and wrong!

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: I think what frustrates me with this is, so he's prioritizing giving refugee status to these people. GOLDBERG: Yes. HOSTIN: Yeah. FARAH GRIFFIN: There's crime in South Africa but these are -- I've always believed America should prioritize the most in need refugees and right now, it's set to later this year – Afghan -- Afghan refugees who are here are going to be sent back to Afghanistan. And we know they'll be subject to beatings, to jailing and even to killing and some of those are people who served alongside U.S. forces as translators and interpreters.

Wesley Lowery is a lot of things: a former Washington Post reporter, 60 Minutes correspondent, CNN contributor, author, Pulitzer Prize winner, “Mr. BLM,” and now, an alleged sexual harasser and assaulter. On Wednesday, the Columbia Journalism Review published a detailed account that cited multiple women, including some who went on the record, detailing how they were victimized by “Mr. BLM.” Betsy Morais writes, “Among young reporters, he is perhaps best known for questioning traditional journalistic objectivity, noting its failures to reckon with racism. But for some women in journalism, his standing is more complicated.”  In addition to that crusade against journalistic objectivity, he has cast the American founding as a “racialized caste system” and claimed that opposition to the Obama administration was part of a “whitelash.” Meanwhile, the media held him up as a man who had profoundly important things to say about race when he was actually just a far-left, mudslinging activist. Morais reports that the stories of everyone she talked to involved in-person meetings and alcohol, and “in each case, these women wound up leaving with Lowery, who they said then sexually assaulted them.” She goes on to recall, “[Barber Wire editor-in-chief Olivia] Messer recalled that she tried to educate Lowery about consent. On another occasion, she said, she woke up unsure of what had happened, and he told her that he remembered they’d had sex. The woman from Bumble also blacked out; [Wall Street Journal reporter Imani] Moise felt powerless to stop him. The fourth—the writer-researcher—remained conscious; she felt pressure from Lowery to let him up to her apartment, where he tried to pull off her clothes, she said, until she pretended to fall asleep, and eventually, he left.” Messer added: I know from our decade of friendship that when he interacts with women, he pushes sexuality and romance into the conversation, even when they make it clear that they aren’t interested in more than friendship. Even when they put up a boundary. Even when they say no. His perspective may truly be that every woman in his life has a romantic or sexual interest in him, but that doesn’t make it true. His inability to see the damage he’s caused—much less change his behavior—makes me gravely concerned for all young women around him.” As for Lowery, Morais detailed his response, which was not great: ‘I have far more at stake and to lose than any other source in this piece,’ he told me in an email. He declined to speak with me, and instead sent a statement. ‘CJR’s portrayal of these periods in my personal life is incomplete and includes false insinuations about complicated dynamics,’ he said. ‘Still, I respect the women who have shared their experiences and take their perspectives seriously. As a young professional, I did not always recognize the power imbalances that surfaced as personal relationships evolved into professional ones, and vice versa. I should have better upheld boundaries that would have protected myself and others, particularly during interactions impaired by mutual intoxication. I have committed to sobriety, now approaching one year, and continue to work with professionals on my understanding of the power dynamics that accompany race, gender, and my professional success.’ The report comes amid Washington Post reports that he left his professorship at American University following a “series of encounters detailed to American’s Title IX office concerning sexual harassment and other misconduct.” Later, Morais gave details of Moise’s allegations: ‘He said, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll pay for your cab,’ she recalled. He made a point, she said, of ordering an Uber Black. ‘He puts me in the car. At this point I was sloppy drunk. Then he gets in. I was pretty drunk, but I was perceptive enough to know what was happening. I said, ‘Where are we going?’ He said, ‘My apartment.’ Moise suddenly had the sense that she had lost control of the situation. ‘I felt really powerless,’ she remembered. That night, what she experienced ‘was a full-blown assault,’ she said. ‘I was way too drunk to give consent.’ The Bumble match recalled how “after that third drink, I do not remember anything until I woke up in his bed in his house and we were having sex. I mean, I can’t say we were having sex, because I was unconscious. He was inside of me.” Even before the sexual misconduct allegations, it was hard to see Lowery as a positive influence on American politics. He saw racism in everything and therefore immediately assumed the worst in people. Now it has been reported that he used his ill-gotten fame to prey on women who looked up to him. With any justice, that will be the end of his career.
