Walz is a knucklehead and Vance is a less crazy Trump
Share: In a rather refreshing turn of events, the vice presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz showed a display of professionalism and civility that has unfortunately become something of a rarity in political debates. Instead of spending most of the debate attacking one another’s character, the two Vice Presidential candidates focused on discussing policies and addressing the concerns of American citizens. This is exactly how a vice presidential debate should be conducted, as the main purpose of a vice presidential candidate during a …

“Folie à Deux”: A Franchise’s Killing Joke
Share: “Folie à Deux”, the sequel to the hit movie “Joker”, released in the United States this weekend. The sequel stars Joaquin Phoenix returning as Joker and newcomer Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, the eccentric girlfriend and partner in crime of the Joker, in a film that feels as dark and depressing as the original, and that seems to many fans an attempted money grab that no one asked for. When “Folie à Deux” was announced, the first idea discussed was the Joker meeting Quinn. …
