Democratic presidential candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris used the word “freedom” 11 times in a campaign speech this week, emphasizing, as she does again and again, a woman’s “freedom to make decisions about her own body.”

According to ABC News and The New Yorker, it’s the latest example of Democrats trying to appropriate the word “freedom.” The New Yorker explains: “Democrats’ years-long effort to take back power is reaching a climax in this year’s presidential race.”

It really takes some courage for Democrats to try to turn their usual proposals into “freedom” not just on abortion and voting, but also on gun control, climate and LGBT issues. In reality, Democrats are aiming to restrict our First and Second Amendment rights and more.

CNN HOST KASIE HUNT SAYS HARRIS IS “REPUBLICAN” AND TRUMP IS “LIBERAL” IN THEIR ECONOMIC POLICIES

Harris has made “freedom” the theme of her campaign. She says the word often in her speeches. The song in their campaign is “Freedom” by Beyoncé. The word “freedom” appears 24 times in the topic section of her campaign website. In her first campaign video and in her speech at the Democratic National Convention, she emphasized freedom.

“Many fundamental freedoms are at stake in this election,” Harris’ campaign website says. Harris and his Minnesota lieutenant governor, Tim Walz, “will always fight for the freedom to breathe clean air, drink clean water and live free from the pollution that is fueling the climate crisis,” their campaign website says.

The political section of Harris’s presidential campaign website makes no mention of our most important freedoms enshrined in the First Amendment – the “free exercise” of religion, “freedom of speech or of the press” (former President Donald Trump’s campaign did). Someone should tell Democrats that these are the top bill of rights for a reason.

Walz said he sees “no guarantee of free speech” when it comes to misinformation and hate speech. However, such speech is constitutionally protected, otherwise the government would be able to regulate what is acceptable speech and could suppress dissent or label information it doesn’t like as “misinformation.”

The better approach is to allow freedom of expression but have open debate and condemn hate speech. We saw the alternative: The Biden-Harris White House pressured Big Tech companies to censor Americans over their views on COVID-19. In 2019, Harris called on then-Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to suspend Trump’s account.

If Harris wins the election, Americans likely won’t have the freedom to use correct pronouns. The Biden-Harris administration wants to make it a civil rights violation for someone to use scientifically accurate pronouns that conflict with the preferences of a gender-confusing person.

For Democrats, “reproductive freedom” is the freedom they most want to defend. The verbal forced marriage of “reproductivity” and “freedom” is another stretch. No matter how hard they try, reproduction, even through in vitro fertilization, cannot be separated from its many consequences – such as the conception of children. This is pure science.

In the presidential debate, Harris used the word “freedom” only in reference to abortion. “I will be a president who protects our fundamental rights and freedoms, including a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body and not have the government tell her what to do,” Harris said (she agrees). that the government tells you what to do). on a variety of other topics).

But the freedom to abort an unborn child is not real freedom. In a truly free society, one person cannot be free to take away another’s freedom. An unborn child is not a part of a woman’s body or property – it is an independent human being with its own rights. When a woman takes the life of an unborn child, she deprives her of the most basic of rights.

Harris twists the word even further, saying she wants to defend “freedom of choice.” But that doesn’t apply to Democrats any more than it does to Republicans. Both sides want to enact election laws that favor their party. But Republicans want to make our election system more secure.

In fact, the Democrats have taken away the freedom of their own voters in this presidential election. It is the Democratic Party that ousted its incumbent, prevented a real primary and fought every independent challenger. The Democrats also did not give the Republicans freedom of choice. Democrats, along with other lawmakers, have made claims to bar Trump from the vote.

Harris says she will also “defend the freedom to openly love who you love.” The reality is that she will exercise parental rights.

Her first campaign video shows crowds waving Pride flags as Harris says, “We choose freedom.” But the LGBT community is anything but closed – Pride parades often feature half-naked adults in public in front of children .

Conservatives want the freedom to protect their children from ideologies that contradict their beliefs, including sexually explicit books that are inappropriate for children. Democrats mistakenly refer to these efforts as “book bans,” but by that logic, movie ratings are “movie bans” because young children are not allowed to see R-rated films.

Under a Harris government, women will not be free. She will not defend women’s right to keep biological men out of their restrooms, locker rooms, sporting events, or sororities.

Harris would restrict the Second Amendment, yet her campaign puts gun control in the light of freedom: “As president, she will not stop fighting so that Americans have the freedom to live safely from gun violence in our schools, communities and places.” Adoration .”

If Harris wins the election, Americans likely won’t have the freedom to use correct pronouns. The Biden-Harris administration wants to make it a civil rights violation for someone to use scientifically accurate pronouns that conflict with the preferences of a gender-confusing person.

Harris’ promises of freedom and joy (another of her themes) sound as empty as former President Barack Obama’s campaign for “hope and change.” The Democrats want to impose more government control on Americans, including through expensive and ineffective economic and environmental policies.

Republicans also want clean air, but recognize that more environmental regulations cost Americans money in the form of higher energy, housing and other costs. Energy independence prevents funding of foreign authoritarian governments.

Yes, Democrats believe in the “freedoms” of abortion, LGBT existence, and voting without ID — but they don’t believe in First and Second Amendment rights, a woman’s right not to have men in women-only rooms , parental rights, etc. Energy independence.

How do businesses fail inspections?

Businesses fall out of compliance when they have too many violations, issues that can cause a foodborne illness, when a problem can’t be fixed right away, such as bug and rodent infestations, and more. But most violations are minor and are corrected while an inspection is taking place.

Typically, establishments are reinspected within 10 days to ensure they are following the rules.

It’s rare for a business to shut down over a failed inspection. But it can happen. Usually, closures are temporary, voluntary and due to major problems, such as sewage backups, pest infestations, and water or power outages.

As locals rallied to save a Wichita cafe, legal tensions were brewing between its owners

One of Old Town Square’s longest-running restaurants is leaving, bound for the west side

Shuttered Kansas truck stop restaurant revived by cook who dreamed of having his own place

Jeff Smith, author of “Film Criticism, the Cold War, and the Blacklist,” tells the BBC that Mozart’s fight against the status quo stemmed from Forman’s own frustration with Soviet censorship. “The Kaiser’s silly judgment on Mozart’s opera – “too many notes” – is precisely the kind of accusation that was used as a cudgel against avant-garde artists and thinkers, insinuating that their work was neither pleasing nor edifying to Soviet ears. Mozart’s angry incredulity in this scene must have reflected Forman’s own longstanding contempt for Soviet stagnation and oppression.

Amadeus behind the Iron Curtain

Filming took place over a six-month period in 1983 in Prague, which had the distinction of offering basilicas, palaces and cobbled squares virtually unchanged since the late 18th century. But even as Soviet power waned, Czechoslovakia remained part of the Eastern Bloc and Forman was still persona non grata. Therefore, an agreement was reached: the director would forego meetings with political dissidents and the regime would allow friends of Forman to visit their repatriated prodigal son.

Forman’s own memories of the shoot focused on the hardships of Soviet interference. His landlady warned that his phone was tapped. There were informants lurking in every room. Two unmarked cars followed him everywhere, which seemed unnecessary since his own driver was also a secret agent. In his autobiography “Turnaround,” Forman only briefly addresses the extent to which themes of Soviet oppression permeated Amadeus. “As it had to be in socialist Prague,” he wrote, “the spirit of Franz Kafka dominated our production.”

Perhaps even more telling is a story he tells about negotiations with the general director of Czechoslovak film, Jiří Purš, who, as Forman recounted, wanted absolute certainty that the Communist Party had nothing to fear: “I assume that “There’s nothing politically in it.” the script on which they could hang their hats?” Forman’s answer is an example of plausible deniability and biting irony: “See, it’s about Mozart!”

More like this:
• The classic film that made Clint Eastwood a star
• The real California scandal that led to Chinatown
• The D-Day film that changed the way we view war

F. Murray Abraham felt the strain of coercive control when he traveled to the United States to film his role in Scarface (1983) while Amadeus was being produced in Prague.

Abraham tells the BBC: “At the end of each day of filming I had to cross the border to get to the airport in Vienna and return to Hollywood. At the checkpoint, the Czechoslovak police left us sitting idly at the gate, just like a surveillance.”

These tensions between the U.S. crew and Soviet agents finally came to light on July 4th. The production was filming an opera scene, and the team arranged it so that when Forman called “Action,” a U.S. flag was unfurled and the national anthem was played instead of Mozart’s music. Around 500 Czech extras sang emotional songs and expressed their sympathy for the West. But not all.

Forman recalled, “Everyone stood up—except 30 men and women who looked at each other in panic.” [asking] what they should do. They were the secret police, distributed among the extras.

The No. 12 Michigan Wolverines (3-1) will look to build on their big win over the then-No. 11 USC when they host the Minnesota Golden Gophers (2-2) on Saturday afternoon. Michigan relied heavily on its rushing attack in its 27-24 win over the Trojans, posting 290 rushing yards. Minnesota will look to slow the Wolverines down after their 31-14 loss to Iowa last week. The Golden Gophers were badly outgunned last year as Michigan earned a 52-10 road win during its national title campaign.

Why Michigan Can Cover

While Michigan looks like an exploitable team due to its one-dimensional offense this season, this Minnesota squad isn’t built to take advantage. The Golden Gophers gave up a whopping 272 rushing yards in their 31-14 loss to Iowa last week, while the Hawkeyes finished with just 62 passing yards. Wolverines senior running back Kalel Mullings rushed for 159 yards and two touchdowns against the Trojans last week, while senior Donovan Edwards added 74 yards.

Both are poised for big performances against Minnesota’s poor defense on Saturday. The Golden Gophers have covered the spread just twice in the last 11 games of this straight series, and they have failed to cover the spread in five straight games against Big Ten opponents. Michigan is 10-5 in its last 15 games against the team and has won 18 of its last 19 games overall. See which team you should choose here.

Why Minnesota can cover

Michigan’s lack of passing threat almost came back to haunt the Wolverines, as they needed a big run in the final moments to set up the game-winning touchdown. They routinely struggled to record first downs in the second half, and Minnesota will be in position to take first place on Saturday. Michigan quarterback Alex Orji hasn’t established himself as a reliable passer, throwing just 12 passes last week.

Minnesota held a 14-7 halftime lead against Iowa last week before struggling in the second half. Quarterback Max Brosmer has thrown for 836 yards and five touchdowns, while running back Darius Taylor is averaging 6.3 yards per carry. The Golden Gophers are 8-3 in their last games played on September 11th. See which team you should choose here.

On movie trailers

“A trailer (also known as a preview or attraction video) is a commercial advertisement, originally for a feature film, to be shown in a cinema/cinema in the future. It is a product of creative and technical work. Trailers consist of a series of selected shots from the film being advertised.

Since the purpose of [this advertisement] When it comes to attracting an audience to the film, these excerpts are usually from the most exciting, funny, or otherwise notable parts of the film, but in an abridged form and usually without spoilers.

For this purpose, the scenes are not necessarily arranged in the order in which they appear in the film. [This type of ad] must accomplish this in less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the maximum length allowed by the MPA. Each studio or distributor may exceed this deadline once a year if it deems it necessary for a particular film.

There are dozens of companies in the United States, many in Los Angeles and New York City, that specialize in creating movie trailers. The trailer can be created at agencies (such as The Cimarron Group, MOJO, The Ant Farm, Ben Cain, Aspect Ratio, Flyer Entertainment, Trailer Park, Buddha Jones) while the film itself is edited in the studio.

Since the edited film does not yet exist at this point, the trailer editors work in breaking news or daily newspapers. Therefore, the trailer may contain footage that is not included in the final film, or the trailer editor and film editor may use different takes on a particular shot. Another common technique is to add music to the trailer that does not appear on the film’s soundtrack.

This is almost always a requirement, as trailers and teasers are created long before the composer is even hired to score the film – sometimes even a year before the film’s release date – while composers are usually the last creative people to be worked on film

Trailers tell the story of a film in a very condensed form for maximum appeal. In the decades since film marketing became a major industry, trailers have become highly polished advertising vehicles that can present even bad films in an attractive light.

The main goal when creating trailers is to convey a compelling story that emotionally engages the film audience.

Most trailers are structured in three acts, similar to a feature film. They begin with an opening (Act 1) that sets out the premise of the story. The middle (Act 2) moves the story forward and usually ends with a dramatic climax.

Act 3 usually contains a strong piece of “signature music” (either a recognizable song or a powerful, rousing orchestral piece). This final act often consists of a visual montage of powerful and emotional moments from the film and may also include a cast listing if there are any notable stars who could help sell the film.”

The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents voted unanimously Friday to fire a communications professor who wanted to keep his job after he was fired as chancellor of one of the system’s campuses for producing pornographic films.

Joe Gow, who served as UW-La Crosse’s chancellor for nearly 17 years, argued last week that he should retain a teaching position on campus. But the university’s lawyers argued that he behaved unethically, violated the terms of his employment contract, damaged the university’s reputation and compromised its mission.

The regents met in closed session Friday morning before publicly voting to fire Gow. There was no public discussion before the board vote.

Gow said he is considering filing a lawsuit to keep his teaching job. He did not immediately respond to a message Friday morning.

Gow has been on paid leave from his faculty position since the regents fired him as chancellor in 2023, shortly after university leadership became aware of the videos posted on pornographic websites.

The case has drawn national attention both for the salaciousness of a high-ranking university official making and speaking publicly about pornographic films and for the questions it raises about free speech rights.

Gow argued that his videos and two e-books that he and his wife Carmen published about their experiences in adult films were protected by the First Amendment. The university’s attorney argued that Gow’s videos themselves were legal, but that they were not protected by his employment contract.

Zach Greenberg, an attorney with the free speech advocacy group Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, called the regents’ decision “a major blow to academic freedom and the right to free expression.”

“FIRE has said time and time again: Public universities cannot sacrifice the First Amendment to protect their reputations,” Greenberg said. “We are disappointed that the UW has caved to donors and politicians by alienating a tenured professor.”

Republican lawmakers already view Wisconsin’s university system as a liberal incubator. Last year they forced the company to scale back its diversity initiatives. System President Jay Rothman has tried to avoid further angering conservatives as he seeks approval for an $855 million increase in the next state budget.

Gow’s hope of teaching in the classroom again was rejected by his department head, Linda Dickmeyer. She said that because Gow had not taught in 20 years, he would be assigned general education courses, but she declined to allow him to return to teaching in any capacity.

Gow was criticized in 2018 for inviting porn actress Nina Hartley to speak on campus. She received $5,000 from tuition fees for her performance. The university said he came up with the idea of ​​bringing her to campus after filming a pornographic video with her.

Gow and his wife’s e-books were written under the pseudonyms “Monogamy with Benefits: How Porn Enhances Our Relationships” and “Married with Benefits – Our Real Adventures in the Adult Industry.” But they also star in a YouTube channel called “Sexy Healthy Cooking,” in which the couple cooks meals with porn actors.
