Check out Hollywood in Toto!
Most Hollywood news sites either ignore or malign readers who crave more freedom, less regulation, and a smaller government footprint.You won’t find that at Hollywood in Toto.Christian Toto is an award-winning journalist, film critic, and podcaster with more than 20 years of experience covering Hollywood. Toto is a Rotten Tomatoes certified reviewer and belongs to both the Critics’ Choice Association and the Denver Film Critics Society. Most importantly? He loves movies. What he doesn’t love is how both Hollywood and the media can’t stop trashing people that don’t agree with their point of view. AKA Conservatives.Toto has worked in media long enough to know the vast majority of entertainment coverage leans to the left. And it’s getting even more imbalanced. That’s why he created Hollywood in Toto in 2014 – to give fellow conservatives a place where they can discover the latest news and reviews without insults.HiT also cheers when Hollywood gets it right, no pun intended (this time). Stars giving ’til it hurts. Movies celebrating freedom and liberty. Actors using their platforms for unabashedly good causes. -
Jim is back just in time to discuss the fallout from Thursday's verdict, as a Manhattan jury convicted Donald Trump on all 34 counts of falsifying his campaign expenditures in 2016.
First, they dissect the many different ways this case was twisted to target Trump - from the creative dating on the statute of limitations, to the unprecedented contortions needed to turn it into a felony, to a judge who seemed partial throughout the trial to the basic fact that no one other than Trump would likely have faced these charges. And they note that a lot of legal experts who openly don't like Trump are highly critical of the case being brought and the way it was conducted.
Next, they assess the contention of many on the right that this case and this verdict are clear evidence that the left is openly using the justice system for political ends and that the rule of law itself is in danger of collapse. Jim offers a simple but powerful explanation of what justice should be and why we fell short of that standard in this case.
Finally, they conclude that the Biden team made the right call in sending the president out for an on-camera victory lap on Thursday. They suspect it might have something to do with the disastrous De Niro PR stunt this week - and because Trump may not be the only convicted felon in Biden's orbit within the next few weeks. -

Today, Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in again for Jim. Join Greg and Inez as they discuss Justice Alito rejecting demands from Democrats to recuse himself on certain cases, a hilariously dumb attack from Rolling Stone designed to discredit Justice Barrett, plus Inez's latest observations from the Trump trial.
First, they are pleased, though not surprised, to hear that Justice Samuel Alito refuses to recuse himself from the Trump immunity case (or other possible January 6-related lawsuits), a request made by Senate Democrats on the absurd grounds that his wife flew an upside-down American flag outside their home after a dispute with the neighbors and the Appeal to Heaven flag outside of their beach home.
Next, they shake their heads as Rolling Stone tries to smear Justice Amy Coney Barrett simply due to her husband representing the parent company of Fox News in a defamation lawsuit. They explain why the left is trying to manufacture outrage against the right-leaning justices and they also make the obvious point that spouses of Supreme Court justices are still allowed to have jobs and still allowed to exercise free speech rights.
Finally, they weigh in on Donald Trump's hush money trial, in which jurors are not provided with written instructions from the judge. They also note the judge's guidance that jurors need to agree that at least one of the charges against Trump is valid to have a unanimous verdict - but they don't have to agree on which of those charges he's guilty of. Inez also laments the way in which the justice system has been politicized and weaponized, which this trial has made clear. -
Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Join Greg and Inez as they discuss Harvard's new "Institutional Voice Working Group" report, Biden's attempts to explain away high oil prices with pre-election pandering, and the fast-approaching denouement of the Trump trial, along with all the implications associated with the verdict.
First, they raise their eyebrows at Harvard's professed commitment to upholding free speech and open inquiry. They point out that Harvard's Institutional Voice Working Group is only making such statements to appease both angry donors and radical students, and that they will, in all likelihood, proceed with anti-speech policies when it comes to conservative voices.
Next, they dissect President Biden's deceptive attempts to use Russia as the reason for high gas prices and to fashion a scapegoat out of oil companies and corporate greed. They also shake their heads at his inappropriate use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to essentially pander to voters. And they shake their heads at the counterproductive impact California Democrats may inflict with their new law that's supposedly designed to prevent gas price gouging.
Finally, they wonder why the Biden-Harris campaign chose Robert DeNiro, of all people, to make a statement of endorsement outside of the Trump trial proceedings. They also consider the possible impacts, positive and negative, of the trial on Trump's popularity, as well as his chances of acquittal.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss Florida's rising enrollment numbers in public school alternatives, the disastrous situation on the Gaza pier, and Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg's lackluster explanation for the mere seven EV charging stations that took a $7.5 billion in taxpayer investment to produce.
First, they take time to appreciate the fruits of Florida's school choice policies, as more and more parents choose charter schools, private schools, or homeschooling for their children. They point out that this will force public schools to up their game in order to compete, as many Florida public schools face the threat of closure.
Next, they lament the collapse of the Gaza Pier. They also discuss how this policy always seemed doomed from the moment it was announced. Scot notes that there are still five Americans held hostage by Hamas, and they examine the failure of the Biden administration's foreign policy in the Middle East.
Finally, they laugh right alongside Margaret Brennan at Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg's verbose yet milquetoast response to her question about the $7.5 billion spent on the production of EV charging stations, an effort which has produced a grand total of seven charging stations across the country. They observe that consumers are not rushing to buy EV's, and that the government, along with automobile producers, will have to reckon with that. -
Today, Greg and Jim take time to honor those who gave their lives for our great country. They also give you a look behind the scenes of the Three Martini Lunch podcast.
First, they pay tribute to the heroic men and women who paid the ultimate price to defend our liberty throughout our history.
Next, they pull back the curtain to show you how they plan each episode of the Three Martini lunch and select their stories.
Finally, they discuss how each episode organically unfolds. -
Today, Greg and Jim dissect the positive trend of Republican voters registering in encouraging numbers in several key battleground states, the concerning impingement of Russia on the Estonian border, and a reality at the border that's so alarming that even illegal immigrants are concerned about it. Plus, some fun with outgoing New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu's unvarnished opinions of other governors.
First, they analyze the data showing that Republicans are registering voters in higher numbers in battleground states. They consider what the causes of this trend might be, pointing out how anti-establishment young voters might be rebelling against the left, which they see as the establishment.
Next, they raise their eyebrows at the news that Russia has moved buoys along the Narva River that distinguish its territory from Estonia. They wonder why the US has so far refrained from commenting on the situation, though Estonia and NATO seem to be on high alert at this encroachment.
Then they highlight the testimony of an illegal immigrant from Turkey, who expresses shock at the lack of security at the U.S. Border.
Finally, they wrap up the episode with a good laugh courtesy of Gov. Sununu, who does not mince words about the two governors that no one likes.

In this episode of the Three Martini Lunch, Greg and Jim have trouble separating the good, the bad, and the crazy from each martini as more details come out about John Kerry blocking the FBI from arresting terrorists, the NIH evading FOIA requests during the pandemic, and Hunter Biden lying under oath three separate times.
First, they slam former Secretary of State John Kerry for running interference for Iranian terrorists, as FBI whistleblowers have brought to light. They also note the positive aspects of having a Republican House which can investigate such shady dealings in the State Department.
Next, they are exasperated with the testimony of former NIH official Dr. David Morens, as he plays dumb about what it means to delete federal records and insists that his references to communicating with Dr. Anthony Fauci through "back channels" were intended as jokes. They observe that you know the situation is dire when even Democratic Rep. Kweisi Mfume takes Morens to task for his behavior during the testimony.
Finally, they find themselves not so shocked to learn that Hunter Biden has lied under oath three separate times about matters such as his communications with a Chinese Communist Party official and his involvement with procuring visas for foreign nationals. They wonder whether Hunter will face jail time for his refusal to cooperate with the subpoena, the way that former Trump advisor Peter Navarro did.

Greg and Jim dive into the latest conservative victories in the justice system, the Michigan GOP's latest trouble with accusations of fraudulent signatures, and the rise of college students' mulish insistence on not completing assigned reading.
First, they kick off the episode with a double fisted martini: woke Portland DA Mike Schmidt looks like he will be ousted from office for his soft-on-crime policies. Additionally, Georgia Supreme Court Justice Andrew Pinson successfully fended off the challenge of former Rep. John Barrow, who campaigned primarily on a pro-abortion platform.
Next, they sigh and shake their heads at the Michigan GOP, which never seems to learn its lesson, as candidates are coming under fire for allegedly committing ballot signature fraud once again. They examine the poor condition that much of state-level GOP management has fallen into, in Michigan and beyond, and why gathering petition signatures is one of the most basic parts of politics.
Finally, they find themselves bewildered by the latest trend among college students, who are constantly demanding that professors lower coursework expectations and workload. They point out the paradox that, while Ivy League schools are getting more and more selective, college students across the board are learning less and show poorer work ethic than past generations.

Greg and Jim have a lot to discuss as they unpack the stellar work that Trump's defense attorneys did as they cross-examined former Trump loyalist Michael Cohen, the disastrous looting of U.S. aid being sent to the Gaza strip, and the latest cringeworthy Biden gaffe.
First, they praise Donald Trump's lawyers for being on their A-game while handling Michael Cohen's cross-examination and examining the final witnesses. They observe that the prosecution's case has been badly damaged at this point, but that we still cannot be certain of what the final verdict will be.
Next, they criticize the U.N's poor handling of the transportation of relief supplies in Gaza, as looters are scrambling for the aid that the U.S. has sent over. They contemplate whether these looters might have an association with Hamas, and note that the officials who are transporting the aid must provide armed security if they hope to secure their supplies.
Finally, they roll their eyes as Biden puts his senility into full view once again, introducing an American hostage...who is still being held by Hamas. They speculate on whether the Democratic Party might swap Biden for another candidate before this year's election, depending on whether he can pull it together for the upcoming debate with Trump.

Greg is back on a busy news day, as he and Jim discuss the death of Iran's president, Biden's disgustingly divisive commencement speech, and the GOP latching on to a loser in the Arizona U.S Senate race.
First, they shed zero tears upon the death of radical Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and three other officials in a helicopter crash on Sunday. They document Raisi's murderous record and why his death is not worth mourning, but they also note that not much will change anytime soon for the Iranian people eager to be free.
Next, they hammer President Biden for his racially divisive demagoguery in his commencement address at Morehouse College in Georgia. They not only dissect the appalling lies in the speech but also what it tells us about how Biden and his advisers see the state of the 2024 campaign.
Finally, they groan as a new poll shows Democrat Ruben Gallego leading Republican Kari Lake by a wide margin in the Arizona Senate race. They see Lake as a surefire loser with way too much political baggage and urge GOP voters there to pick a nominee who would be far better at the job and would actually have a chance at winning in November.

Chad is still in for Greg, and he and Jim warn that Donald Trump may have agreed to a bad deal on the debate schedule, and marvel that a Democratic congressman is so worried about 1968-style violence outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago that he wants the whole convention canceled.

GOOD: Well, for what it's worth, Biden says he wants to do debates. I'll believe it when I see it.
BAD: I'm a cheap date when it comes to any policy that aims to hurt the Chinese government, but these tariffs are window-dressing that are a favor to labor unions, not a real effort to hit China.
CRAZY: So when Biden says twice in five days that inflation was 9 percent when he took office, is that a deliberate lie, a sign he doesn't remember being corrected, or evidence no one around him bothered to correct him?

Chad Benson is in for Greg Corombos today; Chad and Jim note that the Biden and his campaign insist that all of the polls are wrong, and that's he actually ahead of Trump. Feeling good, Democrats? Meanwhile, an unnerving observation is that if Democrats keep control of the Senate after this year's elections, there won't be a Joe Manchin or a Kyrsten Sinema around to constrain them. Meanwhile, Jen Psaki's new autobiography includes an error so glaring that even Kristi Noem exclaimed, "Wow, you need to hire a proofreader."

The mainstream media have never been friends of conservatives, but their approach to news - and political news in particular - is far different than it was just a few decades ago. But the media landscape is also very different than it was a generation ago. In today's special edition, Jim and Greg assess the good, the bad, and the crazy of today's media.
Some conservatives may wonder what's good about the media. The simple answer is we have exponentially more options today to seek out and discover the news. Not that long ago, a few different news organizations dictated which stories you would hear about. That's not true anymore. Jim and Greg discuss the challenges that brings but also the opportunity for Americans to have a far more comprehensive idea of what is really happening.
Then, they dive into the biggest problem in our political media - the glaring shift from a leftward bias to leftward partisanship. They explain the difference, how quickly that evolution happened, and why it's such a significant and damaging change to our news and our politics.
Finally, they discuss an inevitable consequence of a never-ending news cycle - media burnout. With an avalanche of stories in our news feeds every day, many people are getting exhausted by it and simply don't pay attention anymore. Is that a good trend or will it lead to a more uninformed public?

Chicks on the Right is hosted by Miriam Weaver (Mock) and Amy Jo Clark (Daisy) of the top-rated Chicks on the Right radio show on WIBC-FM in Indianapolis. Each day on their blended Facebook LIVE, YouTube and podcast, the duo delivers a funny, engaging and informative commentary alternative to the traditional news outlets, as well as a safe space to poke fun at our country’s leaders, policies, and political and cultural direction -
Join Jim and Greg as they sort out three more crazy martinis from the Middle East to political conventions to brain worms.
First, they're furious but not at all surprised by Hamas announcing it is no longer interested in negotiating the release of hostages outside of its offer to hand over dead ones if Israel permanently halts military action in Gaza. President Biden's actions have clearly emboldened the terrorists.
Next, they get a kick out of Democrats fearing their August convention in Chicago will fall victim to huge anti-Israel protests from far-left activists. It's a problem completely of the Dems' own making - not only for encouraging extremist thinking in colleges and beyond but also for picking the crime-ridden city of Chicago for the convention in the first place.
Finally, they discuss the revelation that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was diagnosed with a brain worm more than a decade ago and use that as a launching pad to explain why major presidential candidates should be required to release a lot of health information. -
Join Jim and Greg as they discuss a much needed history lesson from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, President Biden providing cover for Hamas, and Biden offering a big fat le about inflation.
First, they applaud Gov. DeSantis for supporting the effective & sane campus protest policies at the University of Florida and also explaining to demonstrators that there never was a Palestinian state.
Then they hammer President Biden for turning his back on Israel and saying he will cut off more weapons for Israel if Israeli Defense Forces take the fight to Hamas in Rafah. He's essentially doing everything he can to save Hamas.
Finally, they call out Biden again for telling CNN's Erin Burnett that the inflation rate was nine percent when he took office. It was actually 1.4 percent. Jim rips the president for concocting this fantasy world where he blatantly lies about reality and always tries to make himself out to be the hero.

It's an all-crazy day as Jim and Greg discuss the unhinged political intolerance of a former mainstream media reporter, professors withholding grades over the consequences for anti-Israel protests, & tortured language and logic at the Pentagon over our policy in Gaza.
First, they sigh as former NBC News and CNN reporter Michelle Kosinski goes on a Twitter rant about how she is "haunted" by a dinner she had with people she refers to as "closeted MAGAts." Why? Because some were Ivy League grads who didn't want to send their kids there and others disagreed with the left's climate change narrative.
Next, they rip the faculty members at the University of North Carolina who are threatening not to turn in end-of-semester grades for any of their students unless the school reverses the suspensions of 15 students for breaking the law during the anti-Israel demonstrations. The UNC provost recommends sanctions against any instructor who does not turn in grades on time. Which side will blink?
Finally, they unload on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and the Biden administration for torturing language and logic, as Austin claims the 1,000 U.S. military personnel who will be constructing a pier on the Gaza coast will not be considered "boots on the ground." - Visa fler
