Actor Neal McDonough, known for his role in ‘Yellowstone,’ recently appeared on Fox News to discuss his new movie with Angel Studios and the evolving landscape of Hollywood. As a father of five, McDonough attributes much of his perseverance in the entertainment industry to his faith. He claims that after being blacklisted in 2010 for refusing on-screen sex scenes, it was his beliefs that helped him through challenging times.

In a conversation with Will Cain on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime,’ McDonough shared optimistic thoughts about changes occurring in Hollywood, particularly against what he describes as the “woke agenda.”

Hollywood veteran Neal McDonough tells me faith-based films ARE making a difference in Hollywood: “Never, ever, EVER have I seen before 4 or 5 [studios] saying, ‘oh by the way, if you have something of faith, we’re very interested this year.’ Something’s CHANGED.” pic.twitter.com/kQ6vFBDn5k

During their discussion, Will Cain expressed admiration for McDonough’s work and mentioned a scene from another Taylor Sheridan show, ‘Landman.’ This scene highlighted the significance of oil and gas compared to wind energy, underscoring how vital these resources are to our world. Neal McDonough praised Taylor Sheridan’s ability to create pro-American films and reminisced about watching Cain spar with Stephen A. Smith on ESPN.

McDonough also spoke passionately about his collaboration with Angel Studios alongside his wife Ruvé. Their film ‘Homestead’ recently premiered and has been well-received by audiences who appreciate family-oriented storytelling. He encouraged viewers to support similar projects by filmmakers like the Erwin Brothers, Kendricks, and Dallas Jenkins at Angel Studios. These films focus on themes that families can enjoy together and discuss afterward.

Will Cain noted how rich America’s cultural landscape is for storytelling, which aligns with the growing interest in faith-based content within Hollywood. According to McDonough, this shift is evident as networks increasingly seek out such projects due to their profitability and appeal among audiences.

🚨NEW: Neal McDonough was BLACKLISTED by Hollywood because of his conservative views and Christian faith.

But now he’s back, and his new movie Homestead shows that faith and principles are worth fighting for.

Angel Studios operates as a community-supported streaming platform offering various movies, shows, and documentaries suitable for all ages. The studio emphasizes meaningful storytelling designed to inspire and uplift viewers while uniting them through shared experiences. Each title is selected by the Angel Guild—a group of members who vote on which films should be distributed—allowing millions worldwide access to free entertainment.

One of the major promises that helped Donald Trump win the presidency was his commitment to securing America’s borders. Among the numerous issues linked to open borders, one of the most dangerous is the unchecked flow of deadly drugs into the country. A significant threat in this drug crisis is fentanyl.

According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, fentanyl is about 100 times more potent than morphine and is a leading cause of increasing drug overdose deaths in America.

A dangerous threat has emerged in the form of carfentanil, a synthetic opioid 100 times more potent than fentanyl. Originally developed as a large animal tranquilizer, just a few grains can be fatal to humans.

Fentanyl’s danger cannot be overstated, yet there’s an even deadlier substance making its way into the United States—carfentanil. Fox News reported that nearly 70% of all U.S. overdose deaths last year were due to illegally manufactured fentanyls (IMFs), with carfentanil being a particularly lethal variant, reportedly 100 times more potent than fentanyl itself. The CDC highlighted a troubling rise in carfentanil-related deaths, which increased by over 700% from January to June 2023 compared to the same period in 2024.

Carfentanil first appeared on the scene in 2016 but had gone relatively quiet until recently. Its resurgence can be attributed to how easily it can be mass-produced, making it a popular choice among illicit drug manufacturers and users alike. This complicates Trump’s challenging task of addressing America’s opioid crisis.

While current President Joe Biden has adopted an indirect strategy for dealing with this issue, Trump seems determined to confront it directly. As he searches for his ideal DEA leader, Trump has been vocal about needing to tackle both border security and drug trafficking head-on.

Carfentanil isn’t the only frightening development stemming from tampering with fentanyl pills. In May 2023, shocking videos emerged from cities like Philadelphia showing people affected by a new concoction known as “tranq.” This disturbing mixture combines fentanyl with an animal sedative, creating devastating effects on those who use it.

As Trump prepares for his inauguration on January 20, 2025, many Americans impacted by the opioid crisis are likely hopeful for change and solutions under his leadership. Please share your thoughts in the comment section below!

Scott Jennings has become a notable figure on CNN, often standing out as a voice for conservative principles amidst a predominantly liberal backdrop. His recent commentary was no exception, as he delivered a straightforward critique of President Joe Biden’s administration. Jennings didn’t hold back, suggesting that Biden’s presidency is ending in failure and disgrace.

He pointed to the tragic loss of 13 U.S. service members during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan as a significant mark against Biden’s leadership. Moreover, Jennings highlighted other controversial decisions by the president, such as the pardoning of his son, Hunter.

During a heated panel discussion, one liberal commentator attempted to redirect the conversation towards debunked criticisms of former President Trump during the Covid pandemic. However, Jennings dismissed these attempts with ease, maintaining focus on his points about Biden’s presidency. As detailed in an article from Townhall, Jennings echoed sentiments shared by Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), asserting that Biden should never have sought reelection. He expressed disappointment that Biden failed to express regret over the lives lost in Afghanistan—a decision that Jennings believes has not only hurt those families but also tarnished Biden’s presidency.

Jennings’ comments were captured in a video clip shared widely online. In it, he reiterates his stance that Biden’s inability to acknowledge his role in these events is both disgraceful and damaging to his legacy.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett recently made headlines with her remarks about former President Trump, suggesting that he might need things explained to him as if he were in elementary school. Her comments have sparked a conversation about the way political figures communicate and the level of discourse we expect from our leaders. In a somewhat ironic twist, Crockett herself stumbled over her words, which didn’t go unnoticed by those paying attention.

“I, I, I, I don’t know,” she began, “I mean, it is, it is, it is crazy that this guy is about to walk into the White House for a second time.” Her statement has been shared widely across social media platforms like Twitter and YouTube without any alterations. Many people are discussing whether such statements help or hinder political dialogue.

Ta, ta, ta – TODAY JUNIOR!

Crockett emphasized the importance of surrounding Trump with competent advisors. She expressed concern over his current choices, stating that “somebody needs to explain to him in a very elementary way why we don’t go after our friends.”

Roget Stone shot back, on X, “She’s lucky there isn’t an IQ requirement to be in the Congress. If her IQ was one point lower, you would have to water her like a plant.”

A group of teenagers in Houston, Texas, learned the hard way about the dangers of attempting to rob someone at gunpoint. The incident unfolded when these young individuals, aged between 12 and 14, confronted a man and brandished pistols – which turned out to be BB guns.

However, the situation quickly escalated as the intended victim revealed he was armed with a real firearm and responded by shooting them.

The aftermath saw three of the teens being rushed to the hospital. According to Major Suarez from the Harris Sheriff’s Office, two of these young individuals are currently in stable condition while another required surgery due to their injuries. This shocking event has sparked discussions about youth crime and self-defense laws.

The community is left grappling with questions about how such young children ended up in this dangerous situation and what measures can be taken to prevent similar incidents in the future. Where are their parents? Should they be held responsible for what their hooligan children were involved with??

Hopefully the teens all make a full recovery and carry this lesson with them throughout their life. Let this be the last time they attempt to rob someone!

South Korea is in mourning as the nation grapples with one of its most devastating aviation disasters. Acting President Choi Sang-mok has announced a week-long national mourning period following the tragic crash of a passenger plane at Muan International Airport. The incident, which occurred on Sunday morning, resulted in the loss of 179 lives, leaving only two survivors from the 181 passengers and crew on board.

The doomed flight, operated by Jeju Air, had been returning from Bangkok when disaster struck. Reports suggest that a malfunctioning landing gear caused the aircraft to skid off the runway and collide with a concrete fence before bursting into flames. Emergency services swiftly responded to the scene, deploying 32 fire trucks and several helicopters to contain the blaze. Despite their efforts, only two crew members were pulled from the wreckage alive, both remaining conscious according to local health officials.

Footage broadcasted by YTN television captured harrowing images of the plane skidding across the airstrip with its landing gear apparently still retracted, culminating in a head-on collision with a wall. Other TV stations showed thick black smoke billowing from the engulfed aircraft, painting a grim picture of chaos and destruction.

Lee Jeong-hyeon, chief of Muan’s fire station, provided updates during a televised briefing. He described how rescue workers continued their search amidst scattered debris for any remaining bodies—a task made all the more challenging by the complete destruction of the plane save for its tail assembly.

In light of this tragedy, Senior Transport Ministry official Joo Jong-wan confirmed that government investigators have arrived at Muan airport to determine what went wrong. Preliminary inquiries suggest that a bird strike warning was issued by the control tower shortly before impact; authorities are now examining whether this may have contributed to or caused the landing gear failure.

In a recent twist, former President Donald Trump has voiced his support for immigration visas, specifically the H-1B visas, which are often used by tech companies to bring in skilled workers from abroad. This comes as no surprise to those familiar with his business practices, as he mentioned having “many H-1B visas on my properties.” In an interview with the New York Post, Trump expressed his longstanding approval of the program, stating, “I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them.” His comments align with Elon Musk’s advocacy for these visas, highlighting a shared interest in attracting highly skilled talent to bolster industries like technology and hospitality.

He declared, “I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,”

Trump told the Post, referring to H-1B. “I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program.”

Trump’s endorsement of H-1B visas underscores their importance in maintaining a competitive edge globally. He emphasized that he’s been a believer in this system and has utilized it frequently across his businesses. During a conversation on the All In Podcast, Trump reiterated his stance on legal immigration for highly skilled workers, suggesting that such initiatives are crucial for economic growth and innovation.

The discussion around immigration continues to be a hot topic in political circles. Trump’s statements might surprise some of his supporters who hold more restrictive views on immigration policies. However, his business-centric approach reveals an understanding of how global talent can drive success in various sectors. By supporting programs like H-1B visas, Trump appears to advocate for a balanced approach—one that secures borders while also welcoming expertise from around the world.

A lot of people are going to be upset by this statement but this has always been Trump's stance.

He loves legal immigration, especially for highly skilled individuals

Two of his three wives were/are immigrants.

4 of his 5 kids are children of an immigrant.

— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) December 28, 2024

This SHOULD put an end to the bickering among the MAGA crowd over their disagreement with Elon Musk for supporting H-1B visas.

He declared on Friday, “The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B.”

Musk ended to his X post with a quote from Tropic Thunder, “Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.”
