News Osiris Linda Hamilton’s Next Role Involves Being Hunted by Aliens At least she’ll have Brianna Hildebrand and LaMonica Garrett around for company. By Molly Templeton | Published on February 6‚ 2024 icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed Terminators‚ aliens—there’s always something terrifying hunting Linda Hamilton‚ seems like. Along with Brianna Hildebrand (Deadpool)‚ LaMonica Garrett (1883)‚ and Max Martini (Pacific Rim)‚ Hamilton stars in the upcoming film Osiris‚ which Deadline describes as an “under-the-radar sci-fi action movie” in which a team of Special Forces commandos are abducted by aliens. “When they wake up aboard the ship‚ they quickly discover they are being hunted by a merciless alien race‚” Deadline explains. This sounds very relaxing and not at all like I will have to cover my eyes while watching at least forty percent of it. Hamilton is‚ of course‚ known for her role in the Terminator franchise‚ most recently Terminator: Dark Fate‚ pictured above‚ which brought back both Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger (for better or worse). More recently‚ she played General Eleanor Franklin on Resident Alien. Hildebrand was extremely memorable as Negasonic Teenage Warhead in Deadpool and its sequel; she will return to that role in this year’s Deadpool 3. On the smaller screen‚ she’s also appeared on Lucifer and The Exorcist. You have almost certainly seen LaMonica Garrett in something; his resume includes Designated Survivor‚ 1883‚ Sons of Anarchy‚ and several Arrowverse shows‚ on which he played The Monitor/The Anti-Monitor/Mar Novu (it’s complicated). Max Martini has the face of a man born to play military roles; he has been in an episode or two of everything from Walker‚ Texas Ranger to Castle to The Purge‚ and‚ like so many actors of his generation‚ was in Saving Private Ryan. Osiris comes from director William Kaufman‚ who also co-wrote the film’s screenplay with Paul Reichelt. Kaufman’s resume includes a solid number of action films‚ including The Channel‚ which also starred Max Martini and was co-written with Reichelt. Post-production on the movie is expected to wrap up later this year; no release date has been announced.

News Imaginary Imaginary Trailer Confirms That Teddy Bears and Nightlights Are (Obviously) Pure Evil Your teddy bear is supposed to protect you from the nightmares‚ not cause them. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on February 6‚ 2024 icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed Blumhouse has another horror film coming out‚ and this one‚ titled Imaginary‚ has a cute lil’ teddy bear that is (obviously) infused with a malevolent presence. The latest trailer for the movie‚ in fact‚ is to dissuade its viewers from thinking that teddy bears are sweet and carousel nightlights are adorable. We also see a young girl—the owner of that nice little teddy bear—sufficiently traumatized by her stuffy. According to writer-director Jeff Wadlow‚ that specific type of terror is intentional. “Not all imaginary friends are friendly… at least that’s what the characters at the heart of Imaginary are about to find out‚” Wadlow said in a statement. “I love making films that play with the audience’s perception of what is real and what is not‚ so a horror movie that explores the frightening possibilities of imaginary friends was the perfect sandbox for me to play in.” Here’s the official synopsis‚ which expands on what goes down in the film: When Jessica (DeWanda Wise) moves back into her childhood home with her family‚ her youngest stepdaughter Alice (Pyper Braun) develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey she finds in the basement. Alice starts playing games with Chauncey that begin playful and become increasingly sinister. As Alice’s behavior becomes more and more concerning‚ Jessica intervenes only to realize Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed him to be. Wadlow also promised that the movie is “filled with unexpected twists‚ big scares‚ and above all else‚ a ton of thrilling fun.” He added‚ “DeWanda‚ Pyper‚ and Taegen [Burns]‚ the characters at the center of our story‚ are not only believable as a blended family but a blast to watch as the tale unfolds. I think audiences are going to love watching them go toe to toe with Chauncey‚ our evil little bear. I promise‚ you’ll never look at a Teddy the same way again.” Imaginary premieres in theaters on March 8‚ 2024. Check out the trailer below‚ if you dare.

The Vikings had a very unique culture that could be harsh at times‚ but also emphasized practices in hygiene that many people might find surprising.

President Joe Biden recently took to a stage in North Carolina to tout his economic agenda‚ which includes bringing high-speed internet to rural America. But that’s hardly what Americans struggling with a cost-of-living crisis need to hear. Millions of Americans have been terribly frustrated with the economy over the last three years‚ as witnessed by countless economic polls. While several aggregate numbers like gross domestic product and its largest component‚ consumer spending‚ may paint a rosy picture‚ millions of Americans are economically worse off than they were three years ago. After annual inflation outpaced earnings growth for a record 26 consecutive months‚ real (inflation-adjusted) incomes are down about 4.5% compared to January 2021. Yet Biden claims “we’re doin’ pretty damn well economically.” While Biden claims that real earnings have risen for the bottom half of workers‚ data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics mere hours before Biden spoke show real earnings have fallen 1% for the bottom half of workers during his tenure. People are struggling to make ends meet‚ with credit card debt at a record $1.1 trillion while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. This is despite a record number of Americans having multiple jobs as they try to boost their lagging real incomes. Having maxed out their credit cards‚ Americans turned to alternative financing options‚ like buy-now-pay-later plans‚ to cover their holiday spending. Meanwhile‚ a quarter of Americans still haven’t even paid off their holiday debt from 2022. It’s no wonder that defaults and delinquencies on consumer debt like credit cards are rising at the fastest pace since the Global Financial Crisis. However‚ official inflation metrics like the consumer price index are understating the cost-of-living crisis by underestimating inflation‚ mostly because of methodological changes over the years. This is especially true for housing‚ which has seen affordability plummet over the past three years. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta‚ the median-priced home is affordable with the median income in only one metropolitan area (population of at least 500‚000) in the whole country. Families are maxing out credit cards just to pay their rent. This debt-fueled consumer spending binge of the past three years mirrors federal government spending. The national debt has breached $34 trillion‚ with another $1 trillion being added every 100 days or so. Interest on the debt is now $1 trillion annually‚ the third-largest budget item behind only the Social Security Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services. The explosions in government and consumer debt are related. Runaway federal spending prompted the Federal Reserve to create trillions of dollars for the Treasury Department to pay its bills. That drove inflation to 40-year highs‚ which robbed workers of their purchasing power‚ prompting them to take on debt to maintain their standard of living. Ironically‚ Biden cited his American Rescue Plan and the infrastructure bill he signed as two critical components of Bidenomics that have aided in his quest to expand high-speed internet access. Of course‚ these multitrillion-dollar spending packages also supercharged inflation. From his podium‚ Biden predicted that everyone in North Carolina would have high-speed internet access by the end of the decade. Unfortunately‚ because of the explosion in government spending‚ the federal debt will exceed $52 trillion by that time. The never-ending flood of government debt will bring more rounds of inflation and only worsen American families’ financial situations as prices and interest rates fluctuate violently. Americans’ main concern today is not their internet speed but their inability to afford necessities such as food and housing. The only way to reverse this cost-of-living crisis is to reverse what got us here: runaway government spending.

President Joe Biden’s State Department paid a public university to train a cohort of “master trainers” in India who will then go on to train more than 2‚000 people to become “LGBTQI+ allies‚” according to a government spending database. Washington State University received $15‚000 from the State Department in July 2023 to hold a three-day workshop aimed at training 30 individuals with the goal of them eventually training 2‚500 people to become “LGBTQI+ allies” and to develop a “better understanding of diversity and inclusion‚” according to a federal spending database. The trainings took place in India between Sept. 25 and Sept. 27‚ according to the university website. The State Department offered the grant under a program intended to “support the achievement of U.S. foreign policy goals and objectives‚ advance national interests and enhance national security‚” according to a federal spending database. The training sought to “increase the comfort levels of all participants regarding issues faced by members of the LGBTQI+ community‚” the university website read. Individuals participating in the training were instructed on how to properly use “LGBTQI+ language‚” taught about the intersection of LGBTQI+ identities and faith‚ instructed on LGBTQ+ history‚ and put through hours of allyship training‚ according to the workshop schedule. The State Department has distributed several grants under the Biden administration promoting LGBTQI+ ideology across the world. The State Department disbursed $4.6 million to groups in 55 different countries to fund LGBTQI+ activism as of June 30‚ according to The Washington Free Beacon. State Department grants have included supporting “queer” Muslim writers in India‚ providing classes for transgender “makeup entrepreneurs” in Nepal‚ and funding a LGBTQ+ film festival in Portugal that featured pedophilic and incestuous content. Conservative groups‚ including The Heritage Foundation and the Family Research Council‚ have argued that exporting LGBTQI+ ideology has been a priority at the State Department since Biden took office. “Attempting to export contentious current viewpoints held by slim and temporary political majorities does not advance U.S. national interests abroad and might very well induce opposition to them‚” the report from The Heritage Foundation reads. Washington State University and the State Department did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.
