News From Things Still Scary AF in From Season 3 Trailer, and We Now Have a Release Date A few of the stars were on hand at SDCC to give details about the upcoming season. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on July 26, 2024 Credit: MGM+ Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: MGM+ The creepy MGM+ series From made their San Diego Comic-Con debut this year. And cast members Harold Perrineau, Elizabeth Saunders, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Eion Bailey, and David Alpay took to the IMDboat today to share a premiere date, a new trailer for season three, and that some additional actors have joined the show. The trailer confirms that the horrors people faced at the end of season two haven’t broken their desire to escape from the hellish town where people can enter but never leave. (It starts, in fact, with a certain character outside that town!) The vibes in the video are rife with creepiness and existential dread, however, so that motif appears to continue in the upcoming episodes. Here’s the official synopsis for season three of the show: From unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter. As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest—including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down. In the wake of Season Two’s epic cliffhanger, escape will become a tantalizing and very real possibility as the true nature of the town comes into focus, and the townspeople go on offense against the myriad horrors surrounding them. In addition to Perrineau (Lost) leading an ensemble cast, the show stars Moreno (Maria Full of Grace, The Affair), Bailey (Band of Brothers, Once Upon a Time), Hannah Cheramy (Under Wraps, Van Helsing), Simon Webster (Strays), Ricky He (The Good Doctor), Chloe Van Landschoot (Charity, Skin), Corteon Moore (Utopia Falls), Pegah Ghafoori (The Perfect Wedding), Alpay (Castle Rock), Saunders (Clarice), Elizabeth Moy and Avery Konrad (Honor Society). Season two added new series regulars including Scott McCord (East of Middle West), Nathan D. Simmons (Diggstown, This Hour Has 22 Minutes), Kaelen Ohm (Hit & Run, Eumenides Falls), Angela Moore (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Maid), AJ Simmons (Reacher), and Deborah Grover (My Next Door Nightmare, Jann). Season three will also see at least two new characters join the fold: Robert Joy (CSI: NY) and Samantha Brown (Y: The Last Man). Joy will play Henry, a curmudgeon to whom the years have not been kind, while Brown will play Acosta, a new-to-the-force police officer who is in over her head. Season three of From premieres on MGM+ on September 22, 2024. If you want to (re)watch the first two seasons before then, those episodes are available on MGM+ and Prime Video. Check out the season three trailer below. [end-mark] The post Things Still Scary AF in From Season 3 Trailer, and We Now Have a Release Date appeared first on Reactor.

House Republicans are promoting a bill that would make foreign students who support terrorist organizations ineligible to remain in the U.S., a response to pro-Hamas protesters who brought chaos to Washington, D.C., this week.  Rep. Nick Langworthy, R-N.Y., introduced a bill Thursday directing U.S. officials to deport any foreigner on a student visa who “has participated in activity in support of, or as an endorsement of, a foreign terrorist organization.”  The legislation came in response to crowds of people around Washington, D.C., who burned an American flag, vandalized monuments, and praised anti-Israel terrorists on Wednesday to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress.  Authorities ordered protesters to disperse later in the afternoon and arrested almost two dozen.  U.S. Park Police arrest protestors as pro-Palestine protestors lower U.S. flag outside Union Station.

Randy Weber, R-Texas; Cory Mills, R-Fla.; and Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., are co-sponsors of the bill.  “If you are in America on a visa and you’re supporting a terrorist organization, we don’t want you here,” Weber remarked. “This is the greatest country on earth, and if you’re protesting on behalf of a bunch of thugs who kill, rape, and torment their own people, you can take that protest right back to where you came from.” Veto Your Visas Bill TextDownload Support for Middle Eastern terrorist groups was abundant at Wednesday’s demonstrations.

The Democratic Party ruling class’ bloodless coup of their own democratically elected presidential nominee, who also happens to be the nominal sitting president of the United States, is one of the most astonishing political developments of my lifetime. Joe Biden, though clearly physically and mentally impaired, has sought the presidency for quite literally longer than I have been alive. Biden had been defiant ever since the June 27 presidential debate debacle that he was not going anywhere, despite overwhelming pressure from party elites and sycophantic media lap dogs demanding he do precisely that. He has a Lady Macbeth-like wife who craves power and he has a felonious son in desperate need of a presidential pardon. Yet the coup succeeded. Biden became the first incumbent president to not seek reelection after his first term since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. Biden made the much-anticipated announcement not with a solemn Oval Office address—that came three days later, and he didn’t even explain his decision. Rather, he issued a bedridden tweet—from a personal, not even official, account. It’s the equivalent of divorcing your wife over text message. As if that weren’t crazy enough, the announcement came smack in the middle of a five-day period in which Biden was not publicly seen, and during which he apparently experienced an unspecified medical emergency. Suspicious much? The Democrats’ decision to coup their own president is a curious one on the political merits. Hold aside the galling hypocrisy of the purported party of “democracy” trying to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot under an outlandish constitutional theory while simultaneously attempting to bankrupt, prosecute, and incarcerate him on equally spurious grounds. Hold aside the self-proclaimed party of “democracy” feigning ignorance over how its overheated rhetoric laid the seeds for their political opponent’s recent near-assassination and its continuing to depict that opponent as an existential threat to the American constitutional order. And hold aside that purportedly “democratic” party deposing its own presumptive elected nominee—a stark reversal from its presidential primary, when party pooh-bahs worked hard to shut out all viable competition. Somewhere in Minnesota, Dean Phillips would like a word. Hold all that aside. Because even on its own terms, the coup of Biden for cackler-in-chief Kamala Harris is going to spectacularly backfire on the Democrats. Already, Democrats and the corporate media have been working hard to “define” Harris for the American people. At times, this has included some rather dubious retconning, such as magically pretending she wasn’t the Biden administration’s appointed “border czar.” (She was.) But the even bigger problem for Democrats is that Harris is not an unknown commodity. On the contrary, she is a very well-known commodity—one who just happens to be about as popular with the American public as venereal disease. Harris’ current average approval rating is under 38%, and an NBC News poll last June found her to be the single least popular vice president in American history—only 32% of Americans had a positive view of her, putting her 17 points underwater. Harris’ 2020 presidential campaign was an absolute dud, self-imploding well before the first primary votes were cast. And as recently as a month or two ago, Democratic elites were openly discussing whether she could still be dropped as Biden’s 2024 running mate. Funny how quickly one can go from weakest link to great savior of “Our Democracy.” Practically, the path to winning 270 Electoral College votes still runs through the Rust Belt states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. It is frankly bizarre for Democrats to swap out the man who talks ceaselessly about his hardscrabble Scranton, Pennsylvania, upbringing for a Californian who boasts the most left-wing voting record of any presidential nominee in modern history. Do Democrats really think Harris’ support for the Green New Deal and a national fracking ban will play well in the Marcellus Shale of Pennsylvania, or in the auto factories of Detroit? Will white working- and middle-class voters concerned about skyrocketing crime look favorably upon Harris’ enthusiastic support for the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots, which racked up $2 billion worth of property damage? It’s not that Uncle Joe, seemingly about to keel over and die at any moment, found himself in much better political shape. But in addition to the gross hypocrisy of their coup that has dealt yet another fatal blow to their specious claim to “defend democracy,” Democrats have also set themselves up for political failure. They would have been better off trying to limp across the finish line with their grievously wounded incumbent of a nominee rather than changing horses midrace. The 14 million people who voted for Biden in the Democratic primaries ought to be livid. Rust Belt voters ought to be bemused. But Trump and running mate JD Vance ought to be ecstatic.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, a former White House physician with direct knowledge of Donald Trump’s wounded right ear, disputes FBI Director Christopher Wray‘s questioning of whether a bullet struck the former president in the assassination attempt. Wray said that “there’s some question” whether Trump got hit by “a bullet or shrapnel” during the July 13 assassination attempt in testimony Wednesday to the House Judiciary Committee about the FBI’s investigation of the shooting at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Jackson released a statement Friday saying there is “absolutely no evidence” anything other than a bullet injured Trump’s upper right ear. “During the Congressional Hearing two days ago, FBI Director Christopher Wray suggested that it could be a bullet, shrapnel, or glass,” Jackson wrote. “There is absolutely no evidence that it was anything other than a bullet. Congress should correct the record as confirmed by both the hospital and myself. Director Wray is wrong and inappropriate to suggest anything else.” Update on President Trump’s recovery from the bullet wound to his ear. pic.twitter.com/zLQuvk5cnQ— Ronny Jackson (@RepRonnyJackson) July 26, 2024 Jackson said he has treated many gunshot wounds throughout his 20-year career as an emergency medicine physician in the Navy and as a combat physician in Iraq. He wrote that he can “completely concur” with the initial assessment and treatment provided to Trump at Butler Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for a gunshot wound to the ear. Wray testified to the House Judiciary Committee that Trump’s would-be assassin, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, used a semiautomatic AR-15-style rifle with a collapsible stock during the shooting. Trump, surrounded by Secret Service agents, exited the rally with blood dripping down his face. “I think with respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that, you know, that hit his ear,” Wray testified Wednesday. “As I sit here right now, I don’t know if that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, also could have landed somewhere else.” A photograph taken during the shooting by The New York Times’ Doug Mills shows a bullet flying directly by the right side of Trump’s head just moments before he began bleeding. Absolutely unreal photo taken by @dougmillsnyt reportedly shows a bullet flying by President Trump's head pic.twitter.com/3K8fsGAVWV— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) July 14, 2024 Crooks fired eight rounds, killing former volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore and wounding two other rally attendees, authorities said. The gunman climbed onto the roof of a building unoccupied by authorities and 130 feet away from the rally stage. The Secret Service and the FBI told lawmakers Wednesday that authorities noticed Crooks approximately 50 minutes before Trump came onstage. One source told senators that Crooks was spotted with a rangefinder, while others said they saw him standing on the rooftop with a firearm about 20 minutes before bullets were fired. Bipartisan questions about how the incident occurred led former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign from the agency Tuesday following a tense hearing Monday before the House Oversight Committee. Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and ranking member Jamie Raskin,D-Md., issued a joint statement Monday following the hearing calling for Cheatle’s resignation and stating that she “failed to provide answers” about the “stunning operational failure” during the rally. MSNBC’s Michael Steele and Ari Melber both raised questions about the details of Trump’s wounded ear. Steele said July 16 that “a lot of questions” surround Trump’s injury, while Melber suggested the bandage on the ear was a “political quest” to gain sympathy and clout. In a July 17 post on Threads, MSNBC anchor Joy Reid suggested that flying glass may have injured Trump. The FBI didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

With some hard work, pluck, the right boyfriend, and a bit of genetic luck, Vice President Kamala Harris has found her way onto the presidential ballot without having to secure a single primary vote. Don’t tell me the American dream is dead. Sure, Harris is a demagogue who speaks in cringy, swirling, impenetrable platitudes. And sure, according to President Joe Biden, Harris was an identity hire. But “Morning Joe” says we’re not supposed to talk about any of that. So, let’s discuss her record and stated positions. It seems like a lifetime ago that Biden named Harris his running mate. What you may not recall is that the media tried to gaslight us into believing the California senator was another apolitical dealmaker. Former Clinton fixer George Stephanopoulos said Harris was “the middle-of-the-road, moderate wing of the Democratic Party.” The New York Times called her a “pragmatic moderate,” while The Associated Press focused on her “centrist record.” And so on. A “small-c conservative,” one Washington Post columnist wrote. The only problem was, according to GovTrack, Harris’ record in the Senate was to the left of red-diaper baby Bernie Sanders. She was least likely of any senator to join in any bipartisan bills. That’s fine. Bipartisan bills are the pits. Harris wasn’t handed a Senate seat by her former beau and California political kingpin Willie Brown to waste her time legislating with a bunch of pinheads. She was there to run for the presidency. In her truncated first term, few excelled more at smearing their political opponents. Remember when Harris moderately accused Brett Kavanaugh of gang rape? This false perception of moderation stems from Harris’ time as prosecutor and attorney general. Harris liked to brag about using “a huge stick” as a prosecutor in San Francisco, where she regularly threatened poor parents with jail time in her efforts to craft social policy—which wasn’t her job. It’s true that Harris threw a lot of people in jail to bolster her political fortunes. Some of them likely innocent. And judging from her disposition, she would throw a lot more people into jail, if she could. When pro-life journalist David Daleiden published videos of Planned Parenthood executives nonchalantly discussing the selling of body parts, Harris had his home raided, seized evidence, and then tried to throw him in prison. She later teamed up with the abortion mill to write legislation that would squash the free speech rights of other pro-lifers. Like any good authoritarian, Harris enforces whatever laws she sees fit to enforce whenever she sees fit. One of the reasons Harris allegedly opposed the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch was that the judge “consistently valued narrow legalisms”—which is to say, respected the Constitution—”over real lives.” Harris was never one for legalism. When candidate Biden argued that Harris’ promise to issue an executive order unilaterally banning access to certain guns would be unconstitutional, she retorted: “I would just say: Hey, Joe, instead of saying ‘No, we can’t,’ let’s say, ‘Yes, we can,'” before cackling at the very notion that presidents couldn’t do whatever they wanted. As a national candidate, Harris said she believed immigration laws should be treated as civil, rather than criminal, offenses. As a candidate, Harris supported abolishing private health insurance—”Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on,” she told CNN. In addition to nationalizing health care and education, Harris wants the government to control the manufacturing sector, the auto industry, food … and any industry that emits carbon. Harris was in favor of getting rid of the filibuster to overturn state voting laws, nationalizing abortion on demand until birth, and passing the Green New Deal—an authoritarian takeover of the economy written by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., which would ban all fossil fuels, force Americans to retrofit every building in the country, eliminate air travel and meat, and create government-guaranteed jobs, among many other authoritarian measures. On foreign policy, we don’t really know, though we can guess. This week, Harris wouldn’t even greet Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the only liberal democracy in the Middle East. She didn’t sit behind him during his speech to Congress. A few weeks ago, the same Harris said antisemitic, pro-Hamas campus protesters showed “exactly what the human emotion should be.” In the past, she has openly protested with Islamic Republic propagandists from the National Iranian American Council. To be fair, in some ways her disposition comports more with the latter than the former. When I say Harris is an authoritarian, I’m not contending she’s Hitler. I am saying she is a fan of obedience to authority, especially of Democrat-run government, at the expense of personal freedom in ways that are deeply un-American. That’s a bad trend in politics, in general, but it’s difficult to think of many politicians more wedded to the idea than Kamala Harris.

A group of Democrat and Independent senators are pressuring the company that makes ChatGPT to promise the government pre-deployment access to any future model. Pro-censorship Democrat lawmakers have found yet another angle for government-tech collusion and interference, according to a July 22 letter to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Besides insisting upon extensive information about the artificial intelligence (AI) company’s safety features and policies, the senators asked for privileged government access to review and assess a potential future model. The letter focused on alleged safety concerns and the company's employment practices. The senators then included a lengthy list of questions largely related to OpenAI’s safety policies and employees’ ability to sound the alarm about safety concerns. In a somewhat lengthy list of questions about OpenAI’s safety policies and practices, the senators pressed: “Will OpenAI commit to making its next foundation model available to U.S. Government agencies for a pre-deployment testing, review, analysis, and assessment?” This bold question seems to indicate a new method of government-tech collusion may be on the rise. In the past, such collusion has led to a vast censorship industrial complex.  But even before senators asked for a first look at OpenAI’s technology, they reminded the company of their pre-existing partnership.“OpenAI is now partnering with the U.S. government and national security and defense agencies to develop cybersecurity tools to protect our nation’s critical infrastructure.”  Other questions asked in the letter included requests about penalizing concerned employees who raise issues, a Supplier Code of Conduct and post-release AI monitoring practices.  The senators who signed the letter include Brian Schatz (D-HI), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), Peter Welch (D-VT), Mark Warner (D-VA) and Angus S. King (I-ME; previously D).  Significantly, Warner pressured Big Tech to crackdown on supposed “Russia-linked” content in 2017 and again in 2022. Luján co-sponsored2021 legislation to revoke liability protections for tech companies if alleged “health misinformation” was algorithmically amplified by the platform during a health crisis.

An Alabama pastor delivered a powerful sermon detailing how he wrestled a gun away from his grandson. The struggle over the gun happened just moments after the tragic murders of a woman and four children. Brandon Allan Kendrick II was arrested last week and charged with four counts of capital murder of a child under the age of 14 and one count of capital murder in the slayings of two or more people in one act, according to AL.com.'Don’t you think that if you don’t have Jesus, you’re going to walk out of here, and everything’s going to be cool because you ain’t no match for the devil.'Kendrick, 32, is accused of shooting to death Kelse Kendrick — his 24-year-old wife of six years. Kendrick also is accused of murdering the couple's two children: 6-year-old Kaleb Kendrick and 2-year-old Kynli Kendrick. Also murdered in the bloodbath were the couple’s niece and nephew: Haley Daniels, 6, and Colton Daniels, who would have turned 9 on Tuesday.Kendrick's grandfather, Rev. Allan Kendrick, described the events leading up to and after the horrific quintuple homicide during his sermon Sunday at the Oasis of Praise church in McCalla. Kendrick said that 10 minutes before the unimaginable shootings, his grandson was "laughing, talking" in a bedroom with him and his wife Gay."We talked about the first time we ever took him to a restaurant for his 13th birthday. He'd never been in a restaurant," Pastor Kendrick recalled. "All he'd ever known for 12 years was abuse — physical, sexual, mental, drug," Kendrick said of his grandson. "When I got him at 12 years old, he weighed 58 pounds. He was on nine different psychotic medicines."The pastor said that the system had failed Brandon once he turned 18 years old because his disability and Medicaid were canceled. The family couldn't afford his medication. "Gay and I watched him all these years try so hard," Kendrick said. "We talked to every agency, we talked to everybody, we tried everything. We had him institutionalized in hospitals only to have him discharged with no medication, no follow up, no doctor."Kendrick said Brandon called 911 around 1 a.m. on the day of the murders, but he was "turned down."Kendrick said Kelse Kendrick came home and also was in the bedroom with the family and was in good spirits that day. “[Brandon] got up, 10 minutes later, ‘Pow,’’' Pastor Kendrick told his congregation just days after five members of his family were slain in his home.Kendrick continued, "I told Gay, 'That’s a gunshot.' She said it was."Moments later, Brandon walked into the bedroom with a gun in his hand and Gay was in close proximity to him. "She grabbed the gun. It went off. I don’t know how it kept from hitting her," Kendrick said before crediting the prayers from an hour earlier."Yeah, yeah, I do know. Because our prayer time that night, about an hour before this incident, our prayer team stood here and joined hands and prayed for [my] and Gay’s safety," he said. "I had reached out to several of the church members; they were helping me, trying to get some kind of help. So, they prayed for us."Kendrick said he wrestled his armed grandson to the floor.“I was able to subdue him. And once that happened, he didn’t know where he was at," he noted.The pastor said, "He didn’t know where he was at. He started asking me and Gay, saying, 'No, where am I at? Where’s Kelse? Poppy, why, why are you angry? What did I do wrong?'"Kendrick remembered, "Ten minutes before that he’s laughing, talking and having a pretty good time. Don’t you think that if you don’t have Jesus, you’re going to walk out of here and everything’s going to be cool because you ain’t no match for the devil."He told his congregation, "Do you think you’re strong enough to resist the devil if he were to possess you? You better get your heart right with God, because you may be the next one on national news."Kendrick also addressed concerns that he shouldn't deliver a sermon just days after his family's ghastly tragedy. "I've had a few people call [and say], 'Pastor, you can’t preach Sunday. You can’t get up and preach Sunday with what you’ve been through and what’s going on with you. It’s going to be too hard,'" he recounted to his congregation. He added, "What I’m doing right now, I’ll get criticized for. I'm supposed to be mourning. I’m supposed to be grieving. I’m supposed to be incapable of doing anything. I should be at home with my blinds pulled."But Kendrick declared, "No, when heard this, 'I will look into the hills from which cometh my help.' My help cometh from the Lord."A GoFundMe has been launched to help pay for the estimated $50,000 in funeral costs for the five slain family members. At the time of publication, the crowdsourcing campaign had raised over $31,000. You can watch Kendrick tell his tragic story to his congregation here. Like Blaze News?
