Netflix Review: ‘The Highwaymen’ Starring Kevin Costner

Content consumers wary of any film or TV series branded as a Netflix original may understandably hesitate about adding The Highwaymen to their watch list. The Highwaymen chronicles the events after the government hires legendary retired Texas Ranger Frank Hamer (Kevin Costner) in 1934 to essentially do an OO7 on violent celebrity gangsters/folk heroes Bonnie and Clyde. The no-nonsense Hamer brings another Ranger colleague out of retirement for the road trip pursuit. read more

Kate Smith ‘God Bless America’ Controversy Sounds a Sour Note

The notice by the prosecutors office seems like an attempt to intimidate or strong-arm Kraft into dropping his not-guilty plea and request for a jury trial and instead plead out. It’s interesting that liberal mainstream news media/sports media — which is intent on getting its hands on the footage — has abandoned its traditional professed concern for civil liberties when it comes to Mr. Kraft, 77. Despite all the initial spiking of the football, so to speak, Florida authorities have abandoned claims that human trafficking was in play at the spa. read more
