Young audiences turned out in droves to movie theaters around the country this weekend. It wasn’t for the big budget “Star Wars” movie, “The Mandalorian and Grogu, ” which fell sharply in its second weekend, however, but for a small budget horror from a 20-year-old first-time filmmaker that began on the internet. “Backrooms,” released by A24 in 3,442 locations in the U.S. and Canada, made an astonishing $81.5 million in its first three days in theaters, according to studio estimates on Sunday. That’s just a few hundred thousand dollars shy of what “The Mandalorian and Grogu” earned in its first…

Retailers still remembering the backlash from the corporate queering scandals of 2023 under the Biden administration and are scaling back their “pride” month offerings for children this year. The Biden administration made a huge deal out of pride month every year during his four-year term, promoting the twisted agenda on children, and retailers followed suit. It escalated to a shocking level in 2023 as retailers offered pride month apparel designed for young children. In some cases, it went beyond a rainbow-themed shirt or socks. Target, for instance, engaged in overt corporate queering, pushing the transgender agenda on children. At the time, the retailer offered…

On Saturday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” co-host Eugene Daniels stated that he’s concerned that things outside New Jersey’s Delaney Hall immigration facility will “escalate” “on the police side, because, yes, like, you don’t want people shooting things at police officers,” but sometimes what officials ask police to do and what actually happens aren’t the same thing.

The outgoing president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, published a rant on social media on Sunday night in which he declared that he would not respect the results of the first round of the presidential election which showed his protege Iván Cepeda in second place.

Thune said he is in talks with the Trump administration about securing those assurances. “We’re in discussions and have been with them for a while now, so hope to have more on that soon,” Thune said when asked if he had gotten any indication the administration was going to propose changes…
