50 years ago, Schoolhouse Rock produced this video called "No More Kings" to teach children about how the United States was founded and became a free country.

This has never been more relevant than today.

Not my opinion. Just something he said. Most of us know that these are BRILLIANT women he's talking about.

#kirk #racism #whitesupremacy

"[Black women like] Joy Reid, Ketaniji Brown Jackson, Shiela Jackson Lee, and Michelle Obama... used affirmative action because they do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously... so they had to steal a white person’s slot."
THIS IS WHO TRUMP ORDERED THE FLAGS FLOWN AT HALF MAST FOR. LET THAT SINK IN.

Tonight's movie in my October Scary Movie Marathon is The Wailing (2016).

This is a long Korean movie with English subtitles. It's not quite a zombie movie, but there's a sickness and possession involved.

Really unique -- I've never seen a movie like this before.

The Wailing (2016)

A policeman races against time to save his daughter from a mysterious sickness spreading through a small village.
