The beloved Christmas classic film “It’s a Wonderful Life” was the movie that brought a beleaguered and combat-weary actor James “Jimmy” Stewart back to fans after the war — but it may have also been the movie that brought a desperate man back from the brink. James Maitland Stewart was preparing to go to war for several years before he was drafted in 1941. He earned a civilian pilot’s license in the hopes that the Army would let him fly — and he even took a trip to Europe in 1939 to get a feel for the landscape‚ knowing that it was likely he would end up there at some point. By the time the Empire of Japan launched its surprise attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor‚ Hawaii‚ Stewart had already attempted to join the Army. Rejected once in 1940 because he was underweight‚ the always-slim actor attempted to pack on a few pounds and ultimately turned to a doctor for a note explaining that he was just genetically predisposed to be thin. Biographer Robert Matzen — who wrote “Mission: Jimmy Stewart and the Fight for Europe” — explained‚ “Step by step‚ he set himself up to end up in England in a bomb group. One of those steps was taken years before he was drafted‚ and that was when he became a star in Hollywood and bought a plane that was an army trainer and proceeded to learn to fly and train‚ and log hours on that plane so that he could be a pilot when the war came.” Portrait of American actor lieutenant colonel James Stewart (1908 – 1997)‚ 1944. US Army/PhotoQuest/Getty Images. Stewart’s determination — and his pre-war preparations — did not pay off immediately‚ however. The actor‚ who was fresh off his Best Actor win in 1940’s “The Philadelphia Story‚” was initially drafted to appear in film reels and enlistment propaganda films — but eventually he demanded to see combat alongside his other draftees. Stewart eventually got what he asked for‚ rising through the ranks from buck private to major in just four years and earning a spot in the cockpit of a B-24 Liberator heavy bomber known as Dixie Flyer. He flew dozens of missions over Germany‚ some as command pilot‚ and earned both a Distinguished Service Medal and a Distinguished Flying Cross. But toward the end of the 8th Air Force’s Big Week in early 1944 — a six-day mission in late February originally named Operation Argument and designed to decimate the German Luftwaffe in preparation for the D-Day invasion — things went sideways. Stewart was on his 10th mission as a leader and serving as co-pilot when his plane was hit. The German flak left a sizable hole in the fuselage of his plane — just inches from his feet. And while he and his pilot were able to recover‚ when the smoke cleared from the cockpit‚ they had to watch as another in their squadron took a similar strike‚ lost a wing‚ and plummeted toward the ground. Stewart was not the same after that and was eventually grounded. At the time‚ his condition was referred to as “flak-happy‚” “shell-shock‚” or “combat fatigue” — but today’s doctors might have diagnosed the decorated pilot with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. “He wasn’t afraid of bombs or bullets. He was afraid of making a mistake and causing someone to die. That was his endless stress‚ and that’s what ended up grounding him‚” Matzen wrote.

Getty Images. He returned home to his proud parents in Pennsylvania. On the outside‚ he was a war hero; on the inside‚ he was nearly broken. Surviving on little more than peanut butter and ice cream — he struggled to keep any solid foods down — Stewart’s already thin frame became painfully so. Still‚ he decided after a short time at home that what he really needed was to get back to work. “I have to go back and face Hollywood. I’ve been away for five years‚ other people are taking my roles‚” he said — but when he got there‚ he quickly realized that the landscape had changed and so had he. Stewart ended up sharing an apartment with fellow actor Henry Fonda‚ who had also recently returned after serving in the Pacific. Lt. Henry Fonda (1905 – 1982) during his military service on board the USS Bearss‚ summer 1945. (Photo by PhotoQuest/Getty Images) “I had been away from the film business‚ my MGM contract had run out and‚ frankly‚ not knowing how to get started again‚ I was just a little bit scared‚” Stewart described the precarious nature of his situation in a 1987 interview with Guideposts. “Hank Fonda was in the same boat‚ and we sort of wandered around together‚ talking‚ flying kites and stuff. But nothing much was happening.” Stewart got only one offer in those early weeks. His former boss and MGM exec Louis B. Mayer proposed a biopic capitalizing on the star’s military service. “Let’s do ‘The Jimmy Stewart Story’ — we can show you flying over Frankfurt‚ we can show you as a military hero‚” Mayer said. Stewart’s answer was an unequivocal “No‚” and he flatly refused to discuss the matter further. Director Frank Capra‚ an Italian immigrant who had been naturalized after serving in World War I‚ had also spent time away from Hollywood during the war. As soon as Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Marshall got wind of Capra’s enlistment‚ he had him commissioned as a major and assigned to report to him personally.

(Photo by Keystone/Hulton Archive/Getty Images) “To win this war we must win the battle for men’s minds‚” Marshall told Capra in one of their early meetings. “I want to nail down with you a plan to make a series of documented‚ factual-information films – the first in our history – that will explain to our boys in the Army why we are fighting‚ and the principles for which we are fighting.” Capra protested‚ explaining that he had never made any film that could be considered a “documentary.” Marshall responded with the gruff bluster that he was known for‚ saying‚ “Capra‚ I have never been chief of staff before. Thousands of young Americans have never had their legs shot off before. Boys are commanding ships today‚ who a year ago had never seen the ocean before.” “I’m sorry‚ sir. I’ll make you the best damned documentary films ever made‚” was Capra’s reply. But when it was all over‚ Capra returned to Hollywood in much the same state as Stewart: adrift‚ and wondering if he still had what it took to deliver what the fans wanted.

A Democrat running against President Joe Biden in 2024 criticized the court ruling that kicked former President Donald Trump off the ballot in Colorado. In a post to X on Wednesday‚ Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) rejected the Colorado Supreme Court majority’s decision the night before to disqualify Trump from the state’s presidential primary on the view that he engaged in an insurrection on January 6‚ 2021‚ using Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. “Do I believe Trump is guilty of inspiring an insurrection and doing nothing to stop it? I was there. Absolutely‚” Phillips said in a post to his campaign X account. “Do I believe it’s wrong to ban him from the ballot in Colorado without a conviction? Absolutely. Do I believe the [U.S. Supreme Court] must opine immediately? Absolutely.” Do I believe Trump is guilty of inspiring an insurrection and doing nothing to stop it? I was there. Absolutely. Do I believe it’s wrong to ban him from the ballot in Colorado without a conviction? Absolutely. Do I believe the SCOTUS must opine immediately? Absolutely. — Dean Phillips (@deanbphillips) December 20‚ 2023 Phillips‚ who trails the incumbent by a wide margin in polls‚ spoke out shortly after Biden commented on the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling. While addressing reporters‚ Biden similarly asserted the opinion that Trump “supported” an insurrection‚ but cast doubt on the 14th Amendment case. He did not go as far as Phillips in calling for the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the ruling. “It’s self-evident‚” Biden said to someone who asked if Trump is an “insurrectionist.” He continued‚ “You saw it all. Now whether the 14th Amendment applies‚ I’ll let the court make that decision. But he certainly supported an insurrection. There’s no question about it. None. Zero.” Reporter: “Is Trump an insurrectionist‚ sir?” President Biden: "It's self-evident. You saw it all. Now whether the 14th Amendment applies‚ I'll let the court make that decision. But he certainly supported an insurrection. There's no question about it. None. Zero." pic.twitter.com/SlWwQ5TtJs — The Recount (@therecount) December 20‚ 2023 In a statement‚ Trump’s campaign vowed to appeal the 4-3 decision in Colorado‚ which was designed to be placed on hold until January 4 or until the Supreme Court rules on the case‚ and other GOP candidates for president and officials have criticized the ruling. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Trump himself decried “ELECTION INTERFERENCE!” in all-caps posts to his Truth Social account while also calling for other legal matters he faces to be dropped. He additionally said‚ “A SAD DAY IN AMERICA!!!” Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‚ another presidential candidate whose independent bid is surging among key groups‚ slammed the Colorado ruling‚ too. “Trump blocked from the ballot in Colorado. When a court in another country disqualifies an opposition candidate from running‚ we say‚ ‘That’s not a real democracy.’ Now it’s happening here‚” Kennedy said on X. “I’m not a Trump supporter (if I were‚ I wouldn’t be running against him!) But I want to beat him in a fair election‚ not because he was kicked off the ballot. Let the voters choose‚ not the courts!” Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur‚ who is running campaign for president despite being an immigrant from Turkey in defiance of the U.S. Constitution’s “natural born citizen” clause‚ voiced support for the 14th Amendment case against Trump‚ but also chastised the Democratic Party’s handling of the election process. “While people are outraged that Trump has been taken off the ballot in Colorado‚ at the same time‚ the Democratic Party has taken all of Biden’s opponents off the ballot in Florida‚ Tennessee and North Carolina primaries‚” he said on X. “Democracy is on the line in a lot of ways in this election.”

Daily Wire co-founders Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing landed at spot number 18 on Mediaite’s 2023 “Most Influential in News Media” list. Shapiro and Boreing eclipsed big names in media‚ such as Piers Morgan‚ Fox News “Fox &; Friends” team‚ Joe Rogan‚ Tucker Carlson‚ and Anderson Cooper. “Less than a decade into its existence‚ Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing’s Daily Wire has become one of the most influential media organizations in the country. Period‚” Mediaite said of the duo. “With Shapiro as the face of the Daily Wire and Boreing as the man behind the curtain‚ it has by sheer force of will made itself ubiquitous.” “The Daily Wire isn’t just one of the most popular outlets on Facebook‚ it’s also built a massive audience on YouTube and beyond‚” the blurb continued. “The true tell of the pair’s growing influence is the fact that the Daily Wire is no longer fighting for its slice of the pie within conservative media‚ but doling out slices of its own to its various high-profile personalities.” Boreing has led the way in expanding The Daily Wire’s reach in entertainment ventures. Already this year‚ The Daily Wire launched Bentkey‚ a kids entertainment company‚ following an announcement of a $100 million investment. Take a look at all Bentkey has to offer: pic.twitter.com/f23Imva5ZA — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) October 16‚ 2023 In October‚ The Daily Wire announced that it’s creating its own live-action adaptation of the “Snow White” fairytale‚ “Snow White and the Evil Queen‚” starring actress and Daily Wire host Brett Cooper. A teaser clip for the film‚ which is set for release in 2024‚ was posted to social media as Disney battles tumultuous times with its “Snow White” film‚ starring radical feminist actress Rachel Zegler‚ who publicly disparaged the classic story. Announcing Bentkey's first live-action feature film: Snow White and the Evil Queen starring @imbrettcooper pic.twitter.com/HpYoskemAG — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) October 16‚ 2023 In a quick release‚ The Daily Wire also dropped a comedy about a down-and-out basketball coach (played by Boreing) who would do anything to win — including getting his old guys team to play against ladies‚ in “Lady Ballers.” The film dropped to rave reviews from viewers‚ though most mainstream critics tried to ignore the popular comedy. Also in production from The Daily Wire is The Pendragon Cycle‚ which is currently being shot in Europe. Shapiro‚ for his part‚ continues to be one of the most influential and popular media figures. Following the horrific attacks from terror group Hamas on 10/7‚ Shapiro quickly became a leading voice on the issue. The Daily Wire news team‚ under both Shapiro and Boreing‚ continue to break consequential news stories‚ from immigration‚ to public school scandal‚ to foreign affairs. Moreover‚ The Daily Wire has been behind numerous lawsuits against the federal government‚ including a COVID vaccine mandate and apparent government censorship of Right-leaning media‚ including The Daily Wire. Mediaite rounded out its list with Bill Maher‚ Matt Drudge‚ Megyn Kelly‚ the MSNBC “Morning Joe” squad‚ and Sean Hannity. In the very top spot is the “Dominion Voting Systems.” Mediaite said that the defamation lawsuit against Fox News “towered over the others” in media. “In the end‚ a voting technology company slayed and humbled an American media titan‚” the media outlet said.
