Hollywood, CA —I salute every performer or artist in the world for his or her contributions both big and small.   What a horrible world we’d be living in without the art, music, films, plays, dance and comedy. We all have our favorites celebrities.   Sometimes we are disappointed or shocked upon learning their personal politics or attitudes.   Sean Penn, Jane Fonda and Barbara Streisand immediately come to mind. After Hollywood's Blacklisting of Leftist artists in the 1950's it's now those artists on the Right getting the treatment.   Mel Gibson and James Woods are two of today's examples. I’m perhaps overly tolerant all people when in comes to those whose views are totally opposite of mine.   Sometimes those people have been indoctrinated their entire lives and believe every lie ever broadcast or published.   My job is to lead them by tolerance, kindness and example. I’m a really Conservative Libertarian.   In Hollywood I’ve m...

I plan on winning this award on my latest project! Los Angeles, CA —Let me say I’m excited to   announce my lofty but very reachable plans to make some filmmaking history!   I’m going to take crowd-funding to its maximum limits for filmmaking.   I have agreed to take on an unusual documentary film challenge. I’ve taken a crash course in crowd funding and will soon impose on everyone I possibly can to make my film possible. Every penny counts! I won’t reveal the subject matter beyond that it will be cutting edge and raise lots of eyebrows around the globe. There are just a few people that know about the project right now but once my video pitch is ready I will quickly post it here first.   I hope to take a few people with me to the Oscar stage in Hollywood and we have confidence that we can bring home the Gold! Stay tuned in coming weeks…

Los Angeles, CA —Free speech is dead in America.   Political correctness has an evil twin.   It’s call deception.   It’s one thing to hide your feelings about religion, cultures, politics or sexual preferences.   It’s another to pretend you don’t have some negative thoughts. Fear of being hated and attacked drives Americans to deceive as they lie to each other about their true feelings.   We will never come together as a nation if we can’t truthfully express ourselves.   It’s far better that people control offensive culturally based conduct than their feelings. There are stereotypes everywhere in reality.   Most are not offensive and others are downright evil.   It’s not about skin color but culture.   Some cultures are bankrupt, destructive and even violent. If refined, educated and law abiding people pretend to accept bad behavior, rudeness and excuse others for culturally based evil deeds nobody is being served. Children learn...
