Schumer Shutdown, Day 26
The Hedgehog Report - Phoenix Edition 
85 responses to “Schumer Shutdown, Day 26”
Not surprised Bitter could sit through a movie about a rabid Marxist like Springsteen, I have always admired his cast iron stomach.
This article seems to acknowledge that politics (rightly so) might be the cause for the movie flopping.
“The first wave of reviews are far from glowing, witness the movie’s current 66 percent “fresh” rating at Rotten Tomatoes.
So will “Deliver Me from Nowhere” be the next “Rocketman?” Unlikely, to be kind.The Numbers Keep Falling.
A few weeks back, box office sites predicted the film could earn anywhere from $15 million to $25 million. And why not? Springsteen is a living legend, one of rock’s biggest stars whose fame hasn’t dimmed over the decades.
He’s an icon, full stop. And this is the first major, big-screen closeup of his creative process.
Yet Variety predicted the film would earn in the $10 million range just a few days ago. The competition isn’t particularly stiff, including the poorly reviewed “Regretting You” and the second week of the horror sequel “The Black Phone 2.”
Plus, Springsteen’s hard-left politics have been chipping away at his brand in recent years. His shocking defense of sky-high ticket prices shredded his blue-collar image. And his chronic attacks on President Donald Trump, while ignoring the serial miscues of his predecessor, likely chased some potential movie goers away.
A Springsteen movie should be a must-see event, even one that doesn’t rock the Oscar conversation.
Instead, the film could be out of theaters by Thanksgiving based on current tracking models.”

Another of Bitter’s famous false equivalencies.
Bob Dylan wrote some protest songs in the 60’s, and has since been apolitical for decades.
Recently he said:
Jan. ’25, Dylan speaks: “I’m not politically inclined,” he told one interviewer. “My talent isn’t in that area; it’s just to play music.”
As for “the ’60s” as a political thing, he was unforgiving: “I don’t care one bit about the ’60s. . . I know it was a time of great upheaval in the world, but still I don’t care about them.”
Springsteen never changed his politics is still spreading Marxist dogma into his 80’s.

Bitter’s claim that he only watches the woke NFL’s Marxist exhortations “for the football” and Springsteen’s Marxist propaganda “for the music” reminds me of the story of the hunter named Frank who shot a black bear.
Another huge black bear showed up and said “you killed my mate, unless you submit to some rough sex I will kill you”. Having no choice, he submitted and then spent 3 months in the hospital recovering.
Vowing revenge, he went back to the woods and managed to shoot the big black bear. But then a huge grizzly showed up and said “you killed my friend. If you don’t submit to some rough sex, I will maul you to death. This time it took six months in the hospital.
Determined to get revenge, he tracked down the big grizzly and killed him.
All of sudden, a monstrous polar bear appeared. He said “you don’t really come here for the hunting, do you Frank”

This is false. Bitter is not a “nobody”.
“New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen may have been “Born in the U.S.A.,” but nobody in America or anywhere else in the world wanted to watch the new biopic about his life, as it bombed worldwide over the weekend. This isn’t really surprising when you take into account that Springsteen hasn’t been relevant musically in ages, but toss in the anti-Trump, hard left-wing philosophy he spouts constantly, and it’s clear the rejection of the film shows people rejecting him and the overt politicization of every part of life.
When a musician does nothing but use their gift as a pulpit without seeking human connection with the audience, it’s just propaganda. There’s nothing to bring people together. And that’s why Springsteen is irrelevant, and why nobody gives a crap about his new movie.”

They deciphered two of the three coded Beale letters that described the treasure, etc. when they figured out that they were numbers that coincided to the first letter of words Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence. (Beale had apparently numbered each of the words in the Dec. of Ind. which coincided with the second of the three cipher letters he penned. The 3rd ciphered letter is supposedly the one that gives the exact location of the treasure.
I think the other number coded messages relate back to Jefferson’s Statue of Virginia for Religious Freedom and whatever document he wrote connected to being the Father of University of VA (perhaps some speech…)
Beale was someone who held Jefferson as his special hero. On TJ’s tomb, Jefferson wanted to be remembered as the author of the Dec. of Ind., the Statue of VA Religious Freedom and being father of University of VA.
