News Transformers One Transformers One Trailer: What if that Robot Is Really An Enemy in Disguise? Since Josh Cooley’s directing, can we get a Forky cameo? If you think about, Forky is kind of a Transformer… By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on July 25, 2024 Credit: Paramount Pictures Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Paramount Pictures Did you know that, way back when, Transformers and Decepticons used to be best friends?! That’s the premise of the animated feature Transformers One, an origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron who, before they were sworn enemies, were best buds on the planet of Cybertron. The trailer first shown in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con today gives us another glimpse of how these alien robots gained the ability to turn into cars and stuff. The panel also showcased the star-studded cast, which includes Chris Hemsworth as Orion Pax/Optimus Prime,  Brian Tyree Henry as D-16/Megatron, Scarlett Johansson as Elita-1, and Keegan Michael-Key as B-127/Bumblebee before he lost his voice.

In President Joe Biden‘s announcement on social media of his decision not to run for reelection, he ticked off the many wonderful achievements during his three and a half years in the nation’s highest office. But if things are so great, as Biden seems to think, why are Americans so dispirited? Biden’s polling is horrible. General polling shows an American public in a sour state of mind. Per Gallup of a few weeks ago, only 41% say they are “extremely proud” to be an American, compared to 70% only 20 years ago. In Biden’s own Democratic Party, only 34% say they are “extremely proud” to be an American. America’s first president, George Washington, was urged to run again after serving two terms. He declined, motivated by the ideals of America’s founding that the nation would be about individual freedom informed by moral ideals, not by government and politics. Washington feared the politicization of the nation, that it would become everything that Joe Biden now represents. Washington expressed this concern in his farewell address in 1796, warning that “unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government.” This, of course, is exactly what has happened. We know that Biden did not quit voluntarily. His overriding motivation, clearly, has been the retention of power and glory. He is leaving only because he has been pushed out by party leaders and major donors. What are the chances that a major corporation would leave in control a chief executive officer in Biden’s physical state? The answer, of course, is zero. Further, as Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance has pointed out, “If Joe Biden doesn’t have the cognitive function to run for re-election, then he certainly doesn’t have the cognitive function to remain as commander in chief.” Worse, it’s not just about Biden. Those who pushed him out the door did so not because of their concern that he isn’t fit to govern. Their concern was the polls show he can’t win. The Wall Street Journal reports that in October 2021, Biden went to Capitol Hill to lobby congressional Democrats to pass the trillion-dollar infrastructure legislation. Per the Journal: “According to Democrats in the room,” Biden spoke “disjointedly” for 30 minutes “and failed to make a concrete ask of lawmakers.” Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., noted, also per the Journal: “It was the first time I remember people pretty jarred by what they had seen.” That was three years ago. Clearly, it has been well known for a considerable amount of time, by a considerable number of individuals in the president’s party, that the man sitting in the most powerful office in the world isn’t capable of doing his job. George Washington’s concerns two and a quarter centuries ago were well founded. A powerful political class has arisen in Washington that exists to further its own interests at the expense of the welfare of our nation’s citizens. This, of course, follows the dramatic expansion of government. The federal government now takes some 25% of gross domestic product, compared to a little over 14% in 1950. My own first exposure to Joe Biden came in 1991 when, as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he presided over the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Biden permitted a circus by allowing the airing, with live national press coverage, of the unsubstantiated, pornographic allegations of one woman, Anita Hill, to besmirch the character of a man of who would become one of the nation’s great and most articulate defenders of our Constitution. Biden’s behavior then, as now, was motivated by calculations, first and foremost, of personal political interests. Let’s hope and pray that, somehow, America finds its way back to the ideals of the founders and George Washington. COPYRIGHT 2024 CREATORS.COM We publish a variety of perspectives.

Now that Joe Biden is out, the race to replace him in the election is in full motion. However, Democrats – the champions of “democracy” – are once again conducting themselves in a manner that is the antithesis of democratic. The party is practically coronating Vice President Kamala Harris to be the presidential nominee without so much as a thought about what Democrat voters actually want. Former Democratic presidential candidate turned independent Tulsi Gabbard joins Glenn Beck to explain the Harris hype. Tulsi Gabbard: Why "Anti-Democracy” Elites Are FORCING Kamala Harris on Voters www.youtube.com “Even as the Democrats have changed their horse in this race, the substance, the policies, and, quite frankly, the real decision-makers behind the scenes, who have been pulling the strings” will not change, “which means we can expect the same disastrous policies that we've seen and worse” if Kamala wins, Gabbard explains. Glenn agrees, asking, “Who is this cabal? Shouldn't we be asking that question and getting that answer?” “Ultimately, it's those whose power relies on having a figurehead that they can control,” says Gabbard. But who are these puppeteers in the shadows? According to Gabbard, they are “Hillary Clinton's lackeys, President Obama's lackeys, people who have been with President Biden for a long time, the military-industrial complex that profits from our country being in a constant state of war … the unelected people in the national security state whose ability to control and take more of our liberties relies on us being in a constant state of war, their friends in Big Tech and propaganda media who benefit from them having access to that power and that information, and the big-money billionaires.” “Fundamentally what is at the heart of this, of all of these different people that make up this cabal of woke warmongers … [is] people who don't care about our country,” “don't believe in the Constitution,” and “are trying to remake this country into something that is their utopia of some sort but that defies the very foundation of what our country was founded upon,” she explains, adding that “Hillary Clinton is the lead.” Given the push for Kamala Harris, it stands to reason that the cabal believes she will be easy to control and will serve as a fine face – or in Gabbard’s words “figurehead” – for the cabal's mission to dismantle and recreate the country. In other words, she will be a Biden 2.0. Perhaps this is why they’re raising the banners behind her? But again, do the people want Kamala Harris as their nominee? Her popularity rating would suggest no. “[Democrats] believe that Donald Trump is the threat to democracy, and they don't see what their own party is doing,” says Glenn. “How is it they can go out and vote and then have these delegates and these superdelegates disregard that vote entirely and say, ‘No, this is who you get’?” To hear Gabbard’s response, watch the clip above.

President Joe Biden met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a bilateral meeting on Thursday.The first face-to-face meeting between the two leaders since Biden's trip to Israel shortly after the horrific Oct. 7 attack, Biden and Netanyahu shook hands and spoke briefly before reporters were kicked out of the Oval Office.A White House reporter shouted a poignant question at the president: Did you drop out of the 2024 election because of your health?"From a proud Jewish Zionist to a proud Irish-American Zionist, I want to thank you for 50 years of public service and 50 years of support for the State of Israel. And I look forward to discussing with you today and working with you in the months ahead on the great issues before us," Netanyahu said.Biden, meanwhile, recounted his personal history of engaging in diplomacy with Israeli leaders as far back as Golda Meir a half-century ago.After reporters were booted from the Oval Office, a bilateral meeting between Biden, Netanyahu, an American delegation, and an Israeli delegation commenced. A senior administration official who previewed the meeting said the discussion would focus on the Middle East and, specifically, the Israel-Hamas war. After the public meeting — which lasted only 134 seconds, according to this C-SPAN video — both leaders and their delegations planned to meet with families of American hostages held by Hamas. Perhaps the most significant news item extracted from the brief public meeting is a question that Biden responded to using his body language.After Biden and Netanyahu gave their brief remarks and posed for a photo op, a White House reporter shouted a poignant question at the president: Did you drop out of the 2024 election because of your health?It's an important question because Biden's letter announcing his decision to step aside and his Oval Office address on Wednesday did not specify why he chose to leave the race. But on Thursday, Biden appeared to answer the question — finally."President Biden shook his head no when I asked him in the Oval Office if he dropped out of the race for health reasons," reported Reagan Reese. — (@) A second reporter, Nadia Bilbassy-Charters, corroborated Reese's report."Journalists shouted many questions, he didn't take any, and seems to shake his head when asked if he dropped out of the race due to health issues," wrote Bilbassy-Charters in a pool report.The bilateral meeting came one day after Netanyahu delivered a speech to Congress. His presence in Washington set off violence in the nation's capital from pro-Hamas, far-left protesters who burned American flags and waved the Hamas flag.Like Blaze News?
