The Biden administration put out a press release announcing that the $83 million in federal funds for the McCain Library were being drawn from the American Rescue Plan’s Capital Projects Fund. The full name of the fund is actually the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund. The Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund consisted of $10 billion that was supposed to “directly support recovery from the COVID-19 public health emergency” in response “to the public health emergency”. Now nearly 1% of that original $10 billion is being used to build a non-presidential library that will somehow help us “recover” from the pandemic. The McCain Library is getting nearly as much CCF cash as the total given to tribal governments. It appears to be one of the largest single beneficiaries of the coronavirus emergency fund. There is something appropriate in one career politician honoring another through a massive misappropriation of funds that were only allocated due to a national emergency. A politician’s library is not a response to a public health emergency. The Biden administration’s justification for the massive misappropriation of funds is the claim that the McCain Library will provide a space for health screenings and job fairs. There were far cheaper ways to provide a space for job fairs than an $83 million senatorial library. Arizona could host ten thousand job fairs for that kind of money and provide actual health resources to the people who really need them. The $83 million in misappropriated coronavirus emergency money had nothing to do with a public health emergency and everything to do with an urgent political emergency. Biden is underwater in the polls and the McCain family have become crucial allies against Republicans. The 2024 presidential candidate didn’t travel to Arizona to promote an $83 million space where someone might occasionally hold a job fair, but to use McCain to attack Republicans. In a speech with McCain family members and former Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who supervised the gubernatorial election that she claimed to have won, in attendance, Biden warned that Republicans represented an urgent threat to democracy. In his ‘democracy’ speech, Biden claimed that, “democracy means rule of the people, not rule of monarchs, not rule of the monied, not rule of the mighty.” If that’s what democracy means, what does it mean when a career politician takes $83 million in public health emergency funding to build an institution honoring another career politician that is backing his unpopular campaign? Biden wasn’t handing out that $83 million and delivering a speech about the importance of democracy to uphold it, but to undermine it. Faced with an unwinnable election, Biden is turning to Arizona as a model for his 2024 election strategy. The plan, there and everywhere, is to stigmatize his political opponents as dangerous extremists, to divide the GOP,  break off influential party interests, and encourage public officials to violate the law in managing the election and counting the votes by insisting that democracy will be destroyed if he loses. This isn’t democracy: it’s an end-run around democracy. The majority of Democrats and Americans don’t want Biden back in office. The polls have been crystal clear about that. But Biden isn’t interested in what the majority of his party and his country think. He’s not betting on democracy, but on a political establishment that bridges party differences. The $83 million in coronavirus recovery funding allocated to the McCain Library shows why Biden, like McCain, feared democracy and chose oligarchy over listening to the people. The real threat to democracy comes from established political interests subverting elections and the multi-trillion budgets they pass and then distribute shows how they subvert America.

Lindsey Graham (R-SC) United States Senator

Recently, I had a discussion about Lindsey and his relationship with John McCain. They were close friends for more than 10 years. Even traveling and vacationing together. 

A “friends with benefits” deal maybe. 

That or a unrequited kind of thing. Lindsey loving him from afar. 

Now that I think of it, during their time in the Senate together, McCain, Graham and former Sen. Joe Lieberman became close friends. So much so, they dubbed the "three amigos" to some.

I'm letting my imagination get away from me as they were all “just good friends.”

But... I prefer my sordid version where Joe and John were getting blow jobs and fucking Lindsey on a regular basis. Because you know that’s how Lindsey would prefer it.

Gremlins (1984)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Gremlins has one scene, taking place in a classroom and lasting about a minute, where a damaged projector creates an extreme strobe effect. This happens shortly after someone dies in the classroom. Other strobe effects happen in scenes involving a microwave, a bubbling pool, a hijacked snowplow, and in an electrical box on a traffic light pole.

All of the camera work in this film is either stationary or very smooth. Some still camera angles are tilted sideways.

Flashing Lights: 7/10. Motion Sickness: 1/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: This film has disturbing creature effects and violence, more intense than most other PG-rated films, which, along with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, famously led to the creation of the PG-13 rating.

This evaluation is posted in celebration of violent Christmas movies, the latest one being Violent Night, now in theaters. Our evaluation of Violent Night is now available on our Patreon page at Patreon.com/MovieHealth, and will be posted on our Facebook and Tumblr pages on Tuesday, December 6.

Mass Shootings, Empire, and Racist, Copaganda Dog Whistles

By Margaret Kimberley

Two mass shootings in quick succession brought out the worst in Americans. The anger and grief were followed by the usual lies and pretense that violence here is somehow mysterious. Political leaders advocate state violence all the time, calling for new victims to be created here and around the world.

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut won kudos for his particular act of pretense on the senate floor. Murphy’s performance was a bit over the top but that is probably why it garnered so much attention. The senator seemed to be on the verge of tears as he made an impassioned plea to his colleagues. “What are we doing? … Why are we here? …This only happens in this country and nowhere else. … Nowhere else do kids go to school thinking they might be shot that day. …  I’m here on this floor to beg - to literally get down on my hands and knees and beg my colleagues. Find a path forward here.”

Those are fine words from Murphy until one considers that on a regular basis he advocates U.S. violence all over the world. In December 2013 he joined his colleague John McCain in Ukraine. They attended a rally hosted by the neo-Nazi Svoboda party which was dedicated to overthrowing the elected president  (pictured above).  The ensuing violence after the coup killed 14,000 people in the region that opposed the U.S. backed government.

Gremlins (1984)

Dir. Joe Dante

A gadget salesman is looking for a special gift for his son and finds one at a store in Chinatown. The shopkeeper is reluctant to sell him the "mogwai" but sells it to him with the warning to never expose him to bright light, water, or to feed him after midnight. All of this happens and the result is a gang of gremlins that decide to tear up the town on Christmas Eve.

Jimmy Reed: On Joe Biden

Question: What are your thoughts on Joe Biden as the US President overall? Jimmy Reed: Well, to be honest, he definitely does have his flaws. At the same time, however, just about anyone is better than Donald Trump... or Ron DeSantis. Now, I'm not in the habit of disparaging other people - but there really is no way around it. These two individuals are known for their extremely divisive policies. I would've been fine with John McCain being the president in 2008, even though I'm happy that Barack Obama won - as, unlike Trump and DeSantis, McCain was known for being a respectful person who believed in unity over division. I was really upset when Trump bashed McCain for "being captured", when it's obvious that that happened due to McCain selflessly putting his life on the line. Also, Joe Biden is not widely regarded as a cult of personality in the way that Trump is. We don't need to broadcast our devotion to him, when we can simply go out and vote for him - which is what is most important.
