Woke filmmaker shares bizarre reason he thinks Trump will ban Wicked movie By MELISSA KOENIG FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 17:42 EST, 27 December 2024 | Updated: 18:00 EST, 27 December 2024 e-mail View comments Woke filmmaker Adam McKay has speculated that President-Elect Donald Trump will ban the widely popular Wicked film when he is in office. The Big Short director wrote on X Monday that the film starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo was released at a time when the United States 'has never been more right wing and propagandized.' 'On a pure storytelling level Wicked Part 1 is right up there as one of the most radical big studio Hollywood movies ever made,' he wrote, before naming other films he placed into that category like Bridge on the River Kwai, The Sound of Music and The Hunger Games. 'I know Part 2 swings back to the center a bit, but Part 1 is nakedly about radicalization in the face of careerism, fascism, propaganda,' McKay said of the film about the Wicked Witch of the West. 'What's really striking about Wicked Part 1 is that it's coming out NOW when America has never been more right wing and propagandized,' he continued. 'And yes, I know the theatrical production and the book are much older so part of the timing is a coincidence, but still...' It has been a major box office success, easily surpassing its $145million budget. The first installment of the two-part film has already made over $500million. Woke filmmaker Adam McKay has speculated that President-Elect Donald Trump may ban the Wicked film after he takes office The film starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo has been a major box office hit Yet McKay seemed to think its success will eventually draw the ire of Trump. He shared that belief after another X user thanked him for the 'alternative perspective.' 'Really? Wow! I'm sorry I didn't even think of seeing it when it was showing here in Dublin,' the X user replied. 'It just looked like more American fantasy, franchise-wringing and CGI fare to me. 'I'll have to see it when it gets to streaming. Thanks for the alternative perspective,' he wrote. McKay then replied that he thinks the X user will 'be shocked.' 'If America keeps going on the track it is, I wouldn't be surprised to see the movie will be banned in three to five years,' he wrote. McKay claimed Trump is already considering shutting down nonprofits, noting: 'Things [are] changing fast' The second installment of the film is due to be released in theaters in November 2025, and the first part is likely to be available to stream on Peacock early into the new year Then, when another X user asked McKay for clarification, he seemed to take aim at the future president. 'You really think I'm 100 percent saying the movie will for sure be banned to the point where no one can ever see it?' he asked, rhetorically. 'The idea of shutting down nonprofits at the President's discretion is in motion,' he claimed. 'Things [are] changing fast.' Despite McKay's fears, the second installment of the film is due to be released in theaters in November 2025, and the first part is likely to be available to stream on Peacock early into the new year.

Trade Setup For Dec. 30: Nifty Holds Key Support At 23,500, Eyes Breakout Above 23,860 ResistanceCOIMBATORE : The Coimbatore city police booked All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretary ‘Mayura’ Jayakumar and two others for issuing threats to party functionaries. A group of party functionaries complained against Jayakumar to Congress general secretary KC Venugopal, who arrived at Coimbatore International Airport by road from Palakkad in Kerala to take a flight to New Delhi last Sunday night. It is alleged that Jayakumar and INTUC president ‘Kovai’ Selvan entered into a wordy duel at the airport on Sunday night. As tension prevailed, the CISF sleuths intervened and persuaded the two factions to leave the spot. The video of the incident went viral on social media causing embarrassment to party functionaries. Selvan lodged a complaint the next day against Jayakumar. Based on his complaint, the Coimbatore city police booked Jayakumar and two others (Tamil Selvan and Krishnamurthy) on charges of verbally abusing and issuing death threats. Further inquiries are on. Tension has been up in the party after some members of the District Congress Committee passed a resolution to remove Jayakumar from his post alleging that he misused his position.

1 2 3 4 5 6 Guwahati: Wives of veteran politicians excelled in the byelections while some family legacies were questioned, as the results yielded a decisive mandate in favour of the ruling NDA alliance in Assam and Meghalaya. Wife of eight-time AGP MLA and Barpeta MP Phani Bhusan Choudhury, Diptimoyee Choudhury , who is a former teacher, secured victory from Assam's Bongaigaon. In Meghalaya's Gambegre seat, chief minister Conrad Sangma's wife, Mehtab Chandee of NPP, a physician, achieved a decisive triumph. Conversely, in Assam's Samaguri seat, Dhubri MP Rakibul Hussain's son, Tanzil, who aspired to become a third-generation MLA from his family, encountered defeat. Renowned for their simplicity and mingling with commoners in public places, Diptimoyee stated she would remain accessible to her constituents as before. Though Phani Bhusan initially hesitated to support his wife's candidature to avoid the blame of encouraging family politics, which Diptimoyee also acknowledged, she mentioned that in the electoral battle, Phani Bhusan ultimately endeavoured extensively to ensure her victory. "It's a jugalbandi now," Diptimoyee told reporters after her emphatic win. The byelection was necessitated in Bongaigaon as the seat became vacant after Phani Bhusan won as MP from the Barpeta seat. "I contested on public demand. Particularly, the women and youth wing of AGP desired my candidature. He had to support me to ensure the victory of our alliance," she elaborated. Diptimoyee surpassed her closest rival, Brajenjit Sinha of Congress, a former IPS officer, with a substantial margin exceeding 35,000 votes.

Like Diptimoyee, Mehtab Chandee excelled in her inaugural major election. The Gambegre seat, predominantly inhabited by tribals and lacking in infrastructure, education, and other essential amenities, presents substantial challenges. However, representing the ruling NPP, she believed her victory would benefit the populace. Mehtab Chandee Sangma encountered a triangular contest with TMC and Congress nominees, yet prevailed over her nearest rival, Sadhiarani M Sangma, another woman candidate, with a margin of 4,594 votes. A novice in politics and a physician by profession, she had limited opportunity to practise in Shillong. Her schedule remained occupied assisting Conrad, tending to children, and managing personal business. Only last year, she became directly involved in politics after being appointed treasurer of NPP and received the ticket. Chandee previously informed TOI that her political journey commenced inadvertently and she hadn't planned to contest. However, she couldn't decline persistent requests from party workers. "Following demands from the public and party workers, Conrad was compelled to choose me for Gambegre," she said. "The message is unequivocal. People have voted for change, for development," she told mediapersons after her win. "Previously, we never secured this seat, but the people of Gambegre have voted for change. The entire Garo Hills and Meghalaya are experiencing that presently with NPP in govt, and we can do our best for the people," she added. In Assam's Samaguri seat, however, it proved a significant setback for Tanzil, a national secretary of NSUI, who secured the ticket despite being a student leader. From senior Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi to numerous Congress MLAs, all campaigned extensively for the young candidate's victory, yet he faced defeat. Tanzil expressed reluctance to accept the results. "Legal recourse remains available," he stated briefly before a news channel. Rakibul said, "This wasn't an election but vote capturing. The returning officer was notified about poll code violations since morning on the voting day, but everyone remained helpless."

In his second term, he became minister in the Congress govt in the state in the early 1990s.MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow is reportedly taking a significant pay cut as the network’s viewers appear to be feeling blue after President-elect Donald Trump’s comeback victory. Not long before parent company Comcast said it was making the network a separate entity, “Maddow reportedly agreed to reduce her annual salary from $30 million to $25 million over the next three years,” the Washington Free Beacon reported on Friday. The article continued: Some would argue Maddow is still grossly overpaid considering she only hosts her MSNBC show one night per week, but the substantial pay cut, first reported by the Ankler on Thursday, is almost certainly a sign of things to come for Maddow’s increasingly deranged colleagues at MSNBC, who will soon be at the mercy of new management eager to “right-size” their ridiculous salaries. The news comes as MSNBC’s viewership saw a 50 percent drop after Trump won reelection, moving 48 states to the right, Breitbart News reported November 12. “Journalist Mark Halperin told Tucker Carlson in October that no matter who won the election, it could be the cause of the ‘greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country,'” the outlet said. The day after Trump’s massive victory, Breitbart News’s John Nolte highlighted the fact that the political process does not depend on the mainstream media anymore. “The Road to the White House no longer goes through 60 Minutes , CNN, Fox News, Meet the Press , the New York Times editorial board, or the cover of Time Magazine,” he wrote. “That road now runs through the Joe Rogan Experience , Breitbart News, New Media, podcasts, talk radio, and social media. In other words, the Road to the White House now goes through We the People.” In October, Gallup polling found that Americans’ trust in the establishment media to report current events “fully, accurately, and fairly” dropped to a record low over the past year, according to Breitbart News. “Americans’ trust in the media has not always been low, but since the rise of social media and various platforms that undercut the media elites’ former control over narratives broadcast on the big three networks and several nationally read papers,” Breitbart News’s Wendell Husebo wrote, “Americans’ trust plummeted.”
SAN DIEGO (AP) — With his stellar America’s Cup career behind him, Jimmy Spithill introduced his new Red Bull Italy SailGP Team on Thursday in Dubai just ahead of the opening regatta of the global league’s fifth season. Spithill, the team’s CEO and founder, pulled a major coup by hiring his old America’s Cup crewmate and fellow Australian, wing trimmer Kyle Langford, from the Australian team that dominated SailGP for the first three seasons.

(AP) — An online spat between factions of Donald Trump’s supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in his political movement into public display, previewing the fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House. The rift laid bare the tensions between the newest flank of Trump’s movement — wealthy members of the tech world including billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and their call for more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump’s Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. The debate touched off this week when Laura Loomer , a right-wing provocateur with a history of racist and conspiratorial comments, criticized Trump’s selection of Sriram Krishnan as an adviser on artificial intelligence policy in his coming administration. Krishnan favors the ability to bring more skilled immigrants into the U.S. Loomer declared the stance to be “not America First policy” and said the tech executives who have aligned themselves with Trump were doing so to enrich themselves. Much of the debate played out on the social media network X, which Musk owns. Loomer’s comments sparked a back-and-forth with venture capitalist and former PayPal executive David Sacks , whom Trump has tapped to be the “White House A.I. & Crypto Czar.” Musk and Ramaswamy, whom Trump has tasked with finding ways to cut the federal government , weighed in, defending the tech industry’s need to bring in foreign workers. It bloomed into a larger debate with more figures from the hard-right weighing in about the need to hire U.S. workers, whether values in American culture can produce the best engineers, free speech on the internet, the newfound influence tech figures have in Trump’s world and what his political movement stands for. Trump has not yet weighed in on the rift. His presidential transition team did not respond to questions about positions on visas for highly skilled workers or the debate between his supporters online. Instead, his team instead sent a link to a post on X by longtime adviser and immigration hard-liner Stephen Miller that was a transcript of a speech Trump gave in 2020 at Mount Rushmore in which he praised figures and moments from American history. Musk, the world’s richest man who has grown remarkably close to the president-elect , was a central figure in the debate, not only for his stature in Trump’s movement but his stance on the tech industry’s hiring of foreign workers. Technology companies say H-1B visas for skilled workers, used by software engineers and others in the tech industry, are critical for hard-to-fill positions. But critics have said they undercut U.S. citizens who could take those jobs. Some on the right have called for the program to be eliminated, not expanded. Born in South Africa, Musk was once on an a H-1B visa himself and defended the industry’s need to bring in foreign workers. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent,” he said in a post. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.” Trump’s own positions over the years have reflected the divide in his movement.

He has focused on immigrants who come into the U.S. illegally but he has also sought curbs on legal immigration , including family-based visas. As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump called the H-1B visa program “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers. After he became president, Trump in 2017 issued a “Buy American and Hire American” executive order , which directed Cabinet members to suggest changes to ensure H-1B visas were awarded to the highest-paid or most-skilled applicants to protect American workers. Trump’s businesses, however, have hired foreign workers, including waiters and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago club , and his social media company behind his Truth Social app has used the the H-1B program for highly skilled workers. During his 2024 campaign for president, as he made immigration his signature issue, Trump said immigrants in the country illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country” and promised to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. But in a sharp departure from his usual alarmist message around immigration generally, Trump told a podcast this year that he wants to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from U.S. colleges. “I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country,” he told the “All-In” podcast with people from the venture capital and technology world. Those comments came on the cusp of Trump’s budding alliance with tech industry figures, but he did not make the idea a regular part of his campaign message or detail any plans to pursue such changes.
