Moustapha Akkad, Producer of Halloween Franchise, Killed In Jordanian Bombings

He was attending a wedding with his daughter.

It's possible his killing will further alienate moderate Muslims:

Akkad also produced and directed "The Message" (1976), a film about Islam's prophet, Mohammed, and "Lion of the Desert" (1981), which tells the story of a Muslim rebel who fought against the Italy's World War II conquest of Libya. Both starred Anthony Quinn.

Then again, black Muslims protested the showing of The Message in America, so maybe not.

Thanks to Salomeh.

Just curious, 'black muslims' or friendly chaps from the Nation of Islam?

"Lion of the Desert" is a way cool movie. Oliver Reed plays General Graziani who Mussolini (Rod Steiger) sends to Lybia to put down an Arab rebellion led by Anthony Quinn. Khadaffi funded it, so there was a lot of money for detailed Italian armored cars and proto-tanks and a cast of thousands for huge battle scenes. Great stuff, although long and preachy. Still, can't beat armored columns having it out with Arab nomads.

A shame about Akkad, who directed the movie, too. There's a tribute to his daughter who doed in the blast as well over at Roger Simon's place:

That's okay.

When nobody's looking, he'll just sit up, grab the nearest machete, and start strangling coeds.

Can't vouch for this website's accuracy, but it is consistent with half-remembered stuff from some bad movie book I read once. I don't think I'd mourn for Akkad too much, assuming it's correct.

Stephen Miller: The courts are attempting to unconstitutionally enshrine open borders into law by imposing an "infinite process" on deportations.
They're too cowardly to admit what they're doing and just say, "We don't like the way they people voted and who they voted for, so we're deposing the president through a judicial coup." Instead, they're just making it so that we can have a nominal law that allows the deportations of foreign criminals and gang members, but we're also going to impose "due process" requirements that will guarantee all illegals a lifetime residency in the US.

George Clooney now looks like Bela Lugosi from Ed Wood
In this "interview," Jake Tapper claims that Clooney writing an op-ed at the instigation of Barack Obama was "brave," and Clooney returns the favor by telling Jake Tapper that "journalists" are brave and irreplaceable. It's the world's least enticing gay porn.
Prepare for a shock: Former (?) Handgun Control, Inc. spokesman Jake Tapper lies about the background of his hard-left political agitator guest, presenting him as merely an "FSU student" and allowing him to claim Republicans have blood on their hands for the recent school shooting
However, D'Onofrio isn't some dispassionate observer. He's not just some random FSU student. It doesn't sound like he was anywhere in the neighborhood of the shooting, either. He was brought on primarily to talk about the politics, but was presented as an FSU student to try and leverage sympathy for his position.

But let's also remember, once again, that the alleged killer was prohibited from buying any kind of firearm in the state of Florida. He stole a firearm owned by his police officer mother. He carried a firearm into a gun-free zone. Florida's permitless carry only applies to people over 21, so he wasn't covered by that. No one used a red flag law to disarm him.

At every level, he broke the law. None of the laws sold to the people of Florida as necessary to prevent a tragedy worked to prevent this tragedy, and yet it's somehow the fault of people who recognize that?

The price of eggs has dropped from an average of $8/dozen to $3.13/dozen but Democrats are claiming Easter eggs prices are up. I guess all of the non- or anti-Christian "fact" checkers in the media are taking the day off, for some reason.
Trump offers Easter wishes
Happy Easter!
BTW, I read that this is the first time in years the White House website has offered an Easter prayer. Every other religion and fake religion got promoted by Biden, but not Christianity.
Oh, and NPR's Easter story is that "Trump seeks corporate sponsors for Easter egg roll." Obviously every president does this, but this communist propaganda organization only points it out now, after having denied the Biden's family influence-farming operations for a decade.
