The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl also offers a fun spin on what it means to be a hero. Max didn't need physical powers to aid in the defeat of Mr. Electric, and he returns from his fantastical journey left him ready to face the issues in his own life — or at least make peace with them. In this way, the film includes a dose of truth to go with its candy-colored reverie.
This isn't to say that Sharkboy and Lavagirl is the best you’ll find on Netflix — it’s not. However, its visuals look a whole lot better without the 3D glasses that were all the rage back then. The film is also unabashedly mushy and boosted by some decent performances, valuable life lessons, and a theatrical adventure that is well worth the watch despite some questionable special effects.
Explosive new litigation filed in federal district court on Nov. 21 details and documents a wide variety of illegal practices that were used to inflate the number of votes received by Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden, including disparate treatment of voters based on where they live and outright manipulation of Pennsylvania’s voter registration system by partisan activists. //
Boockvar also exceeded her authority by granting private, partisan organizations—including the notoriously pro-Democrat group “Rock the Vote”—access to the Commonwealth’s Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE).
“Rock the Vote’s web tool was connected to our system, making the process of registering voters through their online programs, and those of their partners, seamless for voters across Pennsylvania,” the lawsuit quotes Boockvar as saying.
That’s not supposed to happen. It’s one thing for outside groups to submit registration applications to the state on behalf of would-be voters, but election clerks are the only ones who are supposed to enter this sort of information directly into the records.
It’s easy to see why by inspecting post-election voter lists, which contain names such as “Mary April Smith,” followed by “Mary May Smith,” “Mary June Smith,” “Mary July Smith,” and so forth through the rest of the calendar. When the same voter lists were purchased just a week later, however, those suspicious names had mysteriously disappeared from the rolls.
Noncitizens likely voted at a high enough rate to alter the 2020 Electoral College tally, potentially flipping the states of Arizona and Georgia in the presidential election, according to an analysis by Just Facts, a research group.
The future of the United States depends on our ability to meet the military challenges coming from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran in this turbulent 21st century.
According to The Heritage Foundation’s recently published 2021 Index of U.S. Military Strength, the U.S. military is only marginally able to meet the demands of defending America’s vital national interests.
Over the last four years, Trump has broken through wall after wall of impossibility according to the left. First, the Dow broke 20,000, then 25,000. //
As SARS-CoV-2 spread across the globe and the American economy took a dive, the left practically had a collective orgasm as a result of the tumble of the market. When the market dipped below 19,000 in March 2020, they all crowed about how it was Trump’s economic policies that put us there. There were predictions that the economy would take years to recover to the point it was before the virus and placed the blame at the feet of Trump.
Now here we are, celebrating the DJIA breaking 30,000, again a feat we were told was not possible. Remember, in March when the Dow fell from 29,551 to 18,591 erasing all of Trump’s stock market gains since 2017, the left was convinced that they had proven Trump’s economy to be a myth. Not only did the stock market recover, but it also recovered in just 8 months. That wasn’t Joe Biden. That wasn’t the Democrats. That was President Trump’s doing. For comparison, it took Obama over 4 years to recover 7,000 points in loss from 2008, or roughly 50% of the market.
Vichy Republican Robert Gates famously described Joe Biden as someone who “has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” I think Gates was being kind. Whenever you find a national security debacle or foreign policy disaster in the past 40 years you will find the grinning Rain Man face of Joe Biden at the epicenter. He is a man whose Midas touch for disaster is only matched by his willingness to turn his official position into hard cash in the pockets of friends and family…with a 10% cut for “the big guy,” of course.
So while the media and official Washington were all ecstatically, in the words of the poet, “amusing themselves, abusing themselves, and rubbing it in their hair” at the thought of Joe Biden’s announcement that he’d chosen gray, establishment man Anthony Blinken as his Secretary of State, should he eventually be determined to be president (see Biden Reveals His Secretary of State Pick, and the Swooning Begins), David Harsanyi, writing at National Review takes a look at Blinken’s record and it looks like Blinken would be a perfect match for a Joe Biden administration. By the way, I’m cutting Harsanyi some slack here. It is pretty obvious that most of National Review’s staff was either actively fluffing for Biden or giving him aid and comfort by the direction of their coverage. //
Blinken was wrong about Israel, the Palestinians, and the prospects of peace. He was wrong about Iraq. Wrong on Iran. Wrong on Syria. Wrong on Russia. Wrong on Libya. Wrong on China. If you ever failed as much at your job, you wouldn’t have one. In Washington, you get to run the place. //

Biden’s cabinet picks went to Ivy League schools,have strong resumes,attend all the right conferences & will be polite & orderly caretakers of America’s decline
I support American greatness
And I have no interest in returning to the “normal” that left us dependent on China. //
These people can’t represent America because they don’t understand America and they don’t like America and real Americans.
Biden voters were asked if they were aware of issues like Kamala Harris’s liberal voting record, Trump Middle East peace deals, Hunter Biden’s scandals and more. //
A new report from the Media Research Center shows that the media’s lack of coverage and big tech’s suppression of certain issues and scandals surrounding Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden could have cost President Donald Trump the election.
The survey results report that 17 percent of Biden voters would not have voted for the Biden-Harris presidential ticket if they had known about at least one of the eight news stories that were suppressed by big tech and mainstream media outlets. //
Some of these topics include former Biden staffer Tara Reade and her sexual assault allegations against Biden, the Hunter Biden scandal, VP Nominee Kamala Harris’s extreme liberal voting record in the Senate, the U.S.’s economic jump in the third quarter, millions of jobs added, America’s energy independence, Operation Warp Speed successes, and Trump’s facilitation of multiple peace deals in the Middle East. //
nearly half of all Biden voters polled, 49 percent, said they were unaware of the U.S.’s remarkable economic recovery in the third quarter, doubling the previous record.
One in six Biden voters polled, 17 percent, said they would have changed their vote had they been aware of these stories. The report also found that without even voting for Trump and simply refusing to vote for Biden, “these voters would have handed all six of these states, and a second term, to the president if the news media had properly informed them about the two candidates.”
Just as the case is with all the articles touting the coronavirus vaccine’s reported effectiveness, we’re finding out the truth about the lack of a factual basis for indoor gathering limits because it would appear that it would take a miracle for Trump to win the election at this point.
Now that it looks all but impossible for him to do that, the media are doing all the pillow plumping they can for the Biden campaign (and Democrats in general) by making it so by the time Biden-Harris take office – assuming they are certified next month – the media can paint them as the heroes of the pandemic, make it appear as though we’ve turned the corner in January, things can get back to normal soon, yada yada – just as they’ve (baselessly) done with NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Though this is some stellar reporting from the NY Times, they don’t get a cookie here for telling us what most of us have long suspected. People should be infuriated over how they didn’t bother to dig into the data on small gatherings until after the election. Was it purely coincidental? Don’t count on it.
The country continues to balance on a knife’s edge as we await the outcome of the presidential election (and a few down-ballot races, too). What the Democrat-media complex would have us believe is that the absentee candidate Joe Biden received more votes for president than anyone in American history, including millions more than either Hussein Obama (twice) and Hillary Clinton. And Biden supposedly also turned American political history on its head by defeating an incumbent president while his Democrat Party lost seats in the US House of Representatives (not to mention other down-ballot disasters for Democrats in state and local elections).
The current Democrat-media narrative avoids any discussion of those anomalies, as well as that of “The Great Pause” for 3-4 hours on Election Day night when Biden supposedly made up deficits of hundreds of thousands votes in key swing states while most Americans went to bed believing that President Trump had been easily reelected. Their narrative is that “the election is over, Biden has been ‘declared’ the winner, and President Trump must concede and initiate an orderly transition to the inevitable Biden-Harris regime.”
Or, the alternate view is that the Democrats stole the election through massive and blatant voter fraud using every trick in the book: ballot harvesting, fraudulent/machine-printed and stamped mail-in ballots, tossing ballots marked for President Trump, automated vote-switching by Democrat-controlled ballot marking devices in wide use in swing states, etc. That view has been fortified by hundreds of personal affidavits detailing observed instances of voter fraud, statistical data analysis of “The Great Pause” that exposed the virtual impossibility of Biden’s late-night vote gains (for example, in Pennsylvania as reported here), much reporting about potential fraud through use of Dominion Voting systems in key states, and even complete denials of voter fraud by the Democrat-media complex despite significant circumstantial evidence that continues to be made public (possibly
Ocean waves that grow especially tall a few times during the year, rumbling against the California coast and offering a glimpse into future sea level rise and a reshaping shoreline, according to state coastal regulators.
Those tides rolled up to San Onofre last weekend, where a sea wall stands to protect what nearby communities fear is a man-made disaster in waiting: the decommissioned but still radioactive San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS).
Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of Christianity knows that it is not “extreme” to spread the Gospel. One can’t say the same for those who single out Jews as being bestowed with the uniquely “evil” ability to hypnotize the world or to buy off Christians with their “Benjamins.”
Apologists for Rep. Ilhan Omar, for Hamas, for the Holocaust-denying Iranian terror regime that targets Jews around the world whether they are Israelis or not—those who dishonestly single out the Jewish state as a cancerous presence on the world while ignoring others—are, at best, functionally anti-Semitic. “Anti-Zionism,” not belief in the Trinity, is the predominant justification for violence against Jews around the world.
Yes, I understand that many evangelicals support Israel, in part, because they believe it is necessary for the fulfillment of end-times prophecy. Since I do not share their theology, I am completely unbothered by this position. Indeed, I strongly prefer their support to the antagonism of progressives who want to see Israel destroyed for far more nefarious reasons.
Those about to fire off emails with refresher courses on the history of European Jewry, please save your efforts. For more than a century now, attacks on Jews have predominantly emanated from secular fascists and leftists, Arab nationalists, and Islamists—not Christians spreading the good word.
