'Passion of the Christ' Actor Jim Caviezel Sounds Off on Hollywood Blackballing

MRC   "At some point, everyone will have to answer for what they have done.”

Those are the words of actor Jim Caviezel, most famous for his portrayal of Jesus Christ in the 2004 blockbuster “The Passion of the Christ.”

"Caviezel is referring to sinners having to account to God for their actions. To him this includes the Hollywood producers who allegedly shunned Caviezel after he took on the role of Jesus in the film, “The Passion of the Christ.”

" 'The Passion of the Christ,” directed by Mel Gibson, earned $612 million worldwide on a $30 million production budget, making it the highest grossing religious film in history.

"Caviezel made his remarks to Polish journalist and film critic Lukasz Adamski for the website wpolityce.pl.

"An excerpt:

“ 'You will not work here [in Hollywood] anymore.” Mel Gibson told you that when you took up the role in his film. To what extent was he right?

"All of the sudden I stopped being one of five most popular actors in the studio and I haven’t done anything wrong. I just played Jesus. Was I personally touched by this rejection? Well, everyone has their cross to bear. The world changes in the particular direction but after all, I will not be in this world forever. Neither will the producers from Hollywood. At some point, everyone will have to answer for what they have done.

"Where do you think this reaction come from? Are people afraid of such films? Of evocative picture of Jesus on the screen? People really stood for it. Over half a billion dollars income is a great success. There are even reports on conversions after watching the film!" . . .

No shortage of discussion on James Comey

First this, earlier in the day:
James Comey just stepped in it, big time

. . . "The Post's Devlin Barrett has confirmed ProPublica's reporting that Comey misstated key details of an investigation into Hillary Clinton at a hearing last week.

"Specifically at issue are Comey's statements that:

1. Top Clinton aide Huma Abedin “forwarded hundreds and thousands of emails” from Clinton's private email server to her husband, former congressman Anthony Weiner, as part of a “regular practice” of forwarding emails for Weiner to print out for Clinton, and …
2. These emails contained classified information.

Followed with this by Jonah Goldberg:

The Comey Firing
. . . "There’s much we don’t know. Much we need to know. Much we may never know. But my initial reactions to the news of the James Comey firings are: 

1) I disagree with many of my friends who say this termination was a long time in coming. I think many of Comey’s decisions are easily criticized. But when you look back at the decisions he made — when he made them — I believe Comey was put in one no-win situation after another, and he made defensible decisions. Hillary Clinton tested the limits of what the system would allow and she put people and institutions in an untenable position. I don’t think Comey should have been fired, but I can see the argument going the other way. 2) That said, I simply don’t buy the case made in the letter from President Trump. I am very skeptical that Attorney General Jeff Sessions was the chief driver of, or lobbyist for, this decision.

" I’m also skeptical that Deputy AG Rod Rosentein — on the job for two weeks — pulled the trigger on the firing of the FBI director." . . .Read more:

ACLU lawyer admits Trump travel ban would be constitutional if Hillary had issued it

It was thoughtcrime

Rick Moran  "An ACLU lawyer arguing against the Trump travel ban in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday told a federal judge that the executive order initiating the ban would have been constitutional if a President Hillary Clinton had issued it.

"The lawyer cited Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric as demonstrating "animus" thus delegitimizing the order. The judge was understandably perplexed.

NTK Network:

Jadwat argued that Trump’s campaign animus motivated the order, making it illegitimate. This claim was challenged by the Fourth Circuit’s Judge Paul Niemeyer.

“If a different candidate had won the election and then issued this order, I gather you wouldn’t have any problem with that?” Niemeyer asked.

Jadwat dodged on directly answering the question at first, but Niemeyer persisted, asking the question again.

Jadwat again tried to avoid the question, asking for clarification on the hypothetical, but Niemeyer once again demanded an answer.

“We have a candidate who won the presidency, some candidate other than President Trump won the presidency and then chose to issue this particular order, with whatever counsel he took,” Niemeyer said. “Do I understand that just in that circumstance, the executive order should be honored?”. . . 

 ACLU Makes It Official: The Only Thing Wrong With Trump's Travel Order Is Trump  . . . "It may be absurd, but it is what the Democrats believe. ACLU lawyer Omar Jadwat, arguing today before the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, told the court that President Trump’s travel order “could be constitutional” if it had been written by Hillary Clinton. Here is a portion of the audio from today’s hearing:" . . .

ISIS Fighters Tried to Trick U.S-Backed Forces Into Killing Mosul Civilians

Reuters

"Fighters from the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) herded a group of civilians into a house in the city of Mosul and locked them inside as Iraqi forces advanced. Moments later, the militants entered through a window, lay low for a few minutes, then fired their weapons.

"The plan was simple. They would draw attention to the house by firing from the windows, then move to an adjacent building through a hole in the wall, in hope of goading coalition jets flying above to strike the house.

"What the militants did not realise was that U.S. advisers partnered with Iraqi troops were watching the whole thing on an aerial drone feed. No air strike was called—and the propaganda coup ISIS would have reaped from the deaths of innocent people was averted." . . .
