Hillary Clinton's Feminist Musical ‘Suffs' Bombs, Will Close After 8 Months on Broadway
[Breitbart] Suffs, the feminist Broadway musical that counts Hillary Clinton as one of its main producers, is officially a box-office bomb, with the show announcing a closing date after reportedly failing to turn a profit after nearly six months.

The musical — a nearly three-hour celebration of the suffragette movement, featuring a cast comprised entirely of women and gender "non-binary" performers — cost $19 million to produce, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing reviewed by the New York Times. That money has not been recouped, with ticket revenue failing to cover the weekly cost of operations.

Producers announced Friday that Suffs will close January 5 — only running for eight full months since its opening on April 18, 2024. Among the show’s other producers is Meena Harris, the niece of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

Clinton aggressively promoted Suffs ahead of its highly touted opening in April, appearing on late-night talk shows and even holding a Democratic fundraiser tied to the show. But her efforts, as well as reams of favorable coverage by the media, failed to juice ticket sales.

#3  'Suffs' Snuffed. Feminists Chuffed.

Maybe it is time to pitch my spec script "So What and the Seven Creatures of Indeterminate Species and Gender". If we can't get Hillary herself as So What, maybe Weta could do her as CGI. They did a great job with Gollum in "Lord of the Rings".

Joe's 2024 Exit Results in Hunter Biden's 'Art' to Face Value Plunge
[TH] Now that President Joe Biden’s political career is officially over, Hunter Biden must find a new way to profit himself, given that his family can no longer peddle money from shady foreign businesses and his so-called "art" deals.

According to experts in the art industry, Hunter Biden’s art career is a thing of the past. Now that the president’s time in the District of Corruption is over, so is his son’s shady art business.

"His father is no longer relevant in the maelstrom, which is politics," Charlie Horne, president of Gurr Johns, an art valuation and advisory firm, told the outlet. He predicted that over time, Hunter Biden’s art market will be "wash[ed] away."

"His cachet will be short-lived. I don’t think he’s ever gotten real traction," he continued.

Critics say Hunter Biden’s short-lived art "career" was boosted solely by his father’s influence in Washington—and that may be true because only ten people bought his paintings for $1.5 million.

Last year, the GOP-controlled House Oversight and Accountability Committee investigated the Biden family to learn more about the anonymous individuals who purchased Hunter Biden's "art" at exorbitant prices. Some of his paintings, which look like a third-grader spilled paint on a canvas, were reportedly worth between $75,000 and $500,000— sold through Georges Bergès Gallery. However, there has been a lack of transparency about who is buying his pieces.

Chairwoman of art market studies at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Natasha Degen, pointed out that the value that Hunter Biden’s art sold does not match the value of the work itself.

The Biden family has a history of using their family name for financial or political gain, and Hunter’s art dealings were no exception. Perhaps the first son sold his paintings at an inflated price so that buyers could have access to then-Vice President Biden or meetings in the Oval Office.

At one point, Hunter Biden claimed art would be his full-time career. However, now that he has been convicted of gun crimes, he has more to worry about than whether he will use red or yellow paint to blow through a straw and onto a piece of paper and call it "art."

#1  Surely, Hunter knew his father’s condition and planned wisely for the day when the grift would end. Yeah right, he’s going to jail or a trailer park.

Chip Roy: Nearly 3 million non-citizens have Texas driver's licenses that SOS allows as voter ID
[JustTheNews] "BREAKING: according to [Texas Department of Public Safety] - 2,824,613 non-citizens have DL’s, CDL’s, or ID," Rep. Chip Roy said.

Texas GOP Rep. Chip Roy and state Rep. Brian Harrison, R, said that the Texas Department of Public Safety has confirmed there are nearly 3 million non-citizens with driver's licenses in the state that secretary of state has allowed for use as voter ID.

The announcement on Thursday came after an Tuesday advisory by the Texas secretary of state's elections director, Christina Worrell Adkins, which states that while non-citizen driver's licenses are not acceptable as voter ID, they can be used if the person is already a registered voter.

"BREAKING: according to [Texas Department of Public Safety] - 2,824,613 non-citizens have DL’s, CDL’s, or ID - after working with my friend [Brian Harrison] to run this to ground. That’s why this matters - a lot," Roy posted on X on Thursday as he shared his earlier post with a Texas Scorecard article about non-citizens using driver's licenses as voter ID.

"Almost 3 million non-citizens have been issued driver licenses, CDLs, or IDs in Texas," Harrison wrote Thursday as he shared Roy's post on X. "The Secretary of State's office is instructing poll workers to give ballots to people with non-citizen driver licenses. [Chip Roy] is right: 'this matters a lot.' Developing.."

The secretary of state's advisory explains that only U.S. citizens are permitted to register to vote and cast ballots in Texas. However, the guidance also states that a person with a non-citizen driver’s license or identification card can vote if they are listed on the voter rolls. If the person is not on the voter rolls and has a non-citizen driver's license or ID, then they may still vote by provisional ballot.

#7  I think you load this one shell at a time. Also, seems to me you should be pointing it down while loading. Finally, I think it is best to not talk while loading so you can concentrate on loading.

#11  Tim Spaz again.

Nothing about that is right. At all. I'm surprised he didn't manage a discharge holding the shotgun upright, using his booger hook on the bang guard to make that position.

Out here, when doing trap, we don't load until it is our turn, and we would be expected to competently load in a reasonable amount of time. This is like that asshole your threesome gets put with at the golf course who takes 8 practice swings every time and then duffs the shot.

Like, game warden should check his hunter safety certification bad.

#12  Hey, at least he didn't look down the barrel...at least not in this clip.

#13  "I bought this expensive high quality shotgun because it came with a recoil cushion."

He needs an Elmore Fudd hat.

#14  #12, yes, or scratch his head with the barrel. Again, not in that clip.
Posted by: Jack Salami || 10/13/2024 17:06 Comments || Top||

#15  He claims he bought it some time ago. Walz has no idea what to call the stock recoil pad.

If if you were group hunting and saw some idiot struggling to load a gun like that what would you do? I'd leave.

The basturd is a complete fraud and a compulsive liar. Honestly everyone here hates him. On my lake there are about 700 homes/cabins. Only 2 of properties have Cameltoes and Tampon signs. 2!
