‘Dukes of Hazzard’ star John Schneider explains why Hollywood won’t make patriotic films
The actor is starring in a new film titled ‘To Die For,’ which he said has been resonating with veterans feeling overlooked in America.


John Schneider refuses to back down.

The actor, who famously played Bo Duke in the hit sitcom “Dukes of Hazzard,” is starring in a new patriotic film titled “To Die For,” which was directed and produced independently without major studio backing.

The storyline follows reclusive veteran Quint North (Schneider), who takes a public stand for his personal freedoms after receiving a court order to keep his American flag-flying El Camino truck away from a local high school. The 62-year-old told Fox News Digital the film defends patriotism, freedom of speech and the American flag.

“I had been made aware of an article where a man had been put in jail because he refused to take the flag off the back of his truck,” said Schneider. “I read the article, and it said he had a restraining order against him, so he couldn’t drive within a certain distance from the [local] high school with the flag on his truck… [My wife and I] are big supporters of our military and our law enforcement. And I thought, now is the time to make a movie about this guy. I don’t know about you, but as I drive around the country, I see more and more people with the American flag flying from the back of… their pickup trucks.”

“I wanted to make a movie not about that individual guy, but that kind of guy who is willing to go to jail in order to continue to express his First Amendment right of free speech,” Schneider continued. “The second notion was this movie has got to come out before the midterm elections in 2022… so that it will urge people who are, for some reason, timid or quiet to speak their mind… No matter what, the movie had to come out on Oct. 20 to give enough lead time so that people could see it before voting in November.”

Schneider, a proud conservative and Trump supporter, shared that the film has already made a bold statement among viewers.

“A friend of mine said all the right people are aggravated,” he chuckled. “But all the right people are also encouraged and enthused and invigorated by it. So as we say in the car business, ‘It’s firing on all eight.’”

According to the star, “To Die For” was made with a crew of under 10 people over the last 10 months. He also never approached Hollywood directors with the script.

FIRST ON FOX: Crist claims he’s ‘trustworthy’ after his former staff, colleagues endorse DeSantis

Fox News Digital spoke with Crist following his heated debate with DeSantis

By Brandon Gillespie , Andrew Murray | Fox News

Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist on Tuesday described himself as “a trustworthy person” despite a number of his former staffers and colleagues announcing they would be supporting his opponent, incumbent Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, for re-election.

In an interview with Fox News Digital just one day following his fiery debate with DeSantis, the former Republican governor pushed back on the notion that he was untrustworthy for changing his political party affiliation multiple times, arguing that the GOP had left him rather than the other way around.

Crist was a Republican until 2010 before unsuccessfully running for Senate that year as an independent, and then ultimately winning election to Congress in 2016 as a Democrat. He resigned his congressional seat in August after winning the Democratic gubernatorial primary.

“I am a trustworthy person. I follow my heart,” Crist told Fox when asked if his shifting alliances were evidence of political opportunism.

“I did change political parties, because my party left me. I didn’t leave it. It started with the rise of the Tea Party, and then it metastasized under Trump, and here’s where we are today, where you got people who are denying elections getting nominated by the Republican Party for offices all over America. It’s a mess,” he added.

In a letter released Tuesday, a number of Crist’s former staffers and colleagues, including his ex-chief of staff George LeMieux and his former lieutenant governor, Jeff Kottkamp, wrote that DeSantis was the “clear” choice for governor.

“The undersigned represent former colleagues and staff of Charlie Crist. Together, we have known Charlie in virtually all phases of his career and public life,” the letter read. 

“The choice this November could not be more clear: we unanimously endorse Governor Ron DeSantis for re-election,” it read.

“Governor DeSantis has delivered for Florida. He has led our state with courage and conviction. He has demonstrated his ability to lead us through difficult times. We stand with Governor DeSantis because the stakes are too high,” it added.

OPEN LETTER TO THE RADICAL LIBS

by

by Carrie K. Hutchens

Dear Radical Lib,

You annoy me and that is saying it politely and mildly. Actually, in truth, you spend a great deal of time making me furious and regretting that I saw or heard what you falsely claim. You see, I have no tolerance for gaslighters or indoctrinated puppets that are so vicious and willing to spread lies about others. BAMN is not a righteous cause. It is anything but. And if you have difficulty comprehending that to be true, perhaps you should spend some time asking yourself how you would feel if someone disagreed with you and, for no other reason than disagreeing, decided they should destroy you by any means necessary. Yes, ask yourself how you would feel if you were wrongly on the other end of it all? And while you ask yourself that question, don’t be smug and think it can’t ever happen to you, because… actually… it could.

I have come to not like a great many people, but I would NEVER lie about any of them. Nor would I stand by and let a lie about them pass, if I knew about it and had chance (means) to respond and set the record straight. That’s how it should be. A disagreement should never be won by lie and neither should an election, court case or any other situation.

Truth and honor should matter to everyone, including the radical lib, but it doesn’t seem to.

Likewise, truth and honor should definitely matter to the media that was once anointed as a special, and honored, group entrusted to hold the government accountable. However, that concept has become a joke as it – the MSM – appears to be little more than a propaganda mill for the Democrats and radical libs.

What a shame when such trusted groups become the distrusted.

To say the very least, I’m tired of the liars and especially tired of the liars calling the truth-tellers liars and trying to wrongly destroy them. It’s old. It’s time it is stopped. It’s time you, the radical libs, are held accountable for your wrongful behavior. With that said, I don’t believe you should be held accountable in a wrongful manner. I don’t suggest you should be doxxed or be cancelled or lied about to get back at you for what you have done. On the contrary, I suggest that only the truth be used to identify your wrongs and that you are treated justly.

It’s more than you have given others, but what should be given to all, including you.

May today be the day you wake up and take steps to be the honorable person you have the ability to become.

Sincerely,
Carrie

Apartments owned by Warnock’s church evict ‘homeless’ tenants while senator receives hefty housing stipend

By Jon Brown | Fox News

A downtown Atlanta apartment building mostly owned by the church of Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., has reportedly been evicting disadvantaged tenants while the church pays the senator a hefty monthly housing stipend.

Ebenezer Baptist Church, which pays Warnock a sizable $7,417 monthly housing allowance as its senior pastor, is 99% owner of the Columbia Tower at MLK Village, where residents have received eviction notices for owing as little as $25.88 in past-due rent, according to documents obtained by The Washington Free Beacon.

Eight tenants at Columbia Tower, which is also run by Columbia Residential and described as a haven for the “chronically homeless” and those afflicted with “mental disabilities,” have been issued eviction notices since early 2020 for owing an average of $125 in rent.

Five cases were related to rent less than one month late, and two led to court-ordered evictions carried out by the Fulton County Marshal’s Department. Six of them were dismissed, and four remain open.

As a charitable organization, Columbia Tower has paid $77.77 in property taxes during the past seven years and has received more than $15 million in taxpayer-funded assistance since 2005, according to tax records obtained by the Free Beacon.

“They treat me like a piece of s—. They’re not compassionate at all,” one 69-year-old Black resident who is a Vietnam veteran told the Free Beacon. He explained how he was issued an eviction notice last month for $192 in past-due rent. He told the outlet he was almost evicted last year over $179, but he was allowed to stay after he paid an addition $325 in fees.

“It’s disheartening. It’s horrible. It’s actually horrifying,” another resident told the outlet. “We need the help. I understand churches take care of their pastors, but the excess, it’s not good. Not when you have people that need help here.”

The anonymous resident, who also paid hundreds in fees, said she was threatened with eviction after being one day late on her rent. (Click to continue reading)

St. Louis man convicted in David Dorn’s murder sentenced to life in prison without parole

by

Stephan Cannon, 26, was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of former St. Louis Police Capt. David Dorn after a Missouri jury convicted him in July, according to reports.

Cannon was convicted of shooting and killing Dorn during a night of looting and rioting in June 2020 in the wake of the death of George Floyd in Minnesota.

Dorn, 77, was responding to a burglary alarm at a friend’s pawn shop when he encountered a group of looters. He was struck four times and died from his injuries.

Dorn and four officers were struck by bullets, while other officers were pelted with rocks and fireworks and 55 businesses were burglarized or damaged across St. Louis during the protests.

The septuagenarian had served 38 years on the St. Louis police force before working six years as police chief in Moline Acres. He had retired from the Moline Acres department in 2014.

Cannon was convicted of first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, stealing $750 or more, unlawful possession of a firearm and three counts of armed criminal action — all felonies.

According to KSDK’s Christine Byers, Cannon was sentenced to life without parole on the first-degree murder charge. (Continue Reading)
