Regrets, Jerry Seinfeld has a few. No, he isn’t apologizing for skewering pro-Palestinian protesters at his comedy appearances earlier this year. 'Maybe this election, maybe you don’t have a candidate that you love, but you have to have an issue that you, maybe the somebody you love is you.' He’d do that again in a heartbeat. He wants to take back his thoughts on the “extreme left” crushing comedy. Et tu, Jerry? In an interview published in Variety yesterday, the "Seinfeld" alum mused: Does culture change and are there things that I used to say that [I can’t because] people are always moving [the gate]? Yes, but that’s the biggest and easiest target. You can’t say certain words about groups. So what? The accuracy of your observation has to be 100 times finer than that just to be a comedian. ... So I don’t think, as I said, the "extreme left" has done anything to inhibit the art of comedy. Did Seinfeld catch holy heck in the comedy community for that initial opinion? The backpedal here is Tim Walz-weird, Jerry! And he was right the first time, of course. 'Joker's' home invasion The movie that scared Warner Bros. executives silly is coming home for Halloween. “Joker: Folie a Deux,” which may lose the studio up to $200 million, will be out on VOD Oct. 29. It opened Oct. 4, crashed at the box office, and then plummeted an astonishing 80% in week two. Who could have predicted a film that ditched everything that made the first “Joker” click and added musical numbers might disappoint at the box office? The film feels like an elaborate trick from director Todd Phillips. Guess he loved that ”Joker burns money” meme so much he brought it to life. Hathaway's hash Word salad. It’s catchy and delicious! Consider Oscar winner Anne Hathaway. She dropped in on a Broadway fundraiser for Vice President Kamala Harris earlier this week. The “Les Miserables” star assumed the best way to honor the presidential candidate was to talk just like Harris. “We got a big choice to make, America, you have to make a choice, you do have to vote. Maybe this election, maybe you don’t have a candidate that you love, but you have to have an issue that you, maybe the somebody you love is you. You gotta vote for yourself, America,” she said. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, no? No ha-has from Harris hacks We knew late-night hosts have no shame, but this is getting absurd. Both Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert shifted from partisan hacks to literal cogs in the DNC machine earlier this year. They hosted Democratic fundraisers for President Joe Biden before the not-so-active senior’s cognitive decline made its national debut June 27 at the presidential debate. The comedians covered up that open secret for three-plus years. And happily so! Now they’re pouncing and seizing on a generic medical report from Harris that says she’s in excellent health. “This weekend, Harris released her latest medical report, which states that she's ‘in excellent health.’ It's great that just the words ‘excellent health’ kinda feel like a dig at Donald Trump. They should follow that up with ‘can walk up stairs’ and ‘is potty trained.’” Satire needs a kernel of truth to be funny. Break out a magnifying glass, and you still won’t find anything funny there. Sad? Yes. Funny? Not so much. 'Saturday Night' dies “Saturday Night” is dying at the box office. The film capturing the chaotic moments from “Saturday Night Live’s” first episode earned mostly positive reviews and solid box office results from its New York/L.A. debut. The film opened wider over the weekend, and audiences mostly stayed away. The film earned $3.9 million on 2,300 screens. Maybe we don’t want to be reminded of a time when SNL delivered smart, irreverent comedy without an agenda. For longtime fans, that’s a jagged little pill to swallow. At any rate, "Saturday Night" is notable for at least one reason. After decades of box-office flops based on SNL characters, this is the first bomb based on the show itself.

Aurora, Colorado, has finally started cracking down on crime. No, not the violent Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes, terrorizing tenants, and beating property managers to a bloody pulp. 'My wife is a migrant. I must have paid over $10,000 to get her here legally. ... I ... don’t have a problem with immigration; I have a problem with unchecked illegal immigration.'We're sure Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser will get to that eventually. In the meantime, the intrepid lawman has cracked the case of his career: nabbing the maniac behind the street art protesting the town's mass immigration-induced mayhem.That's right: After two decades of risking life, limb, and liberty to bring truly provocative and countercultural art to the public, Sabo has been busted.As the Gateway Pundit's Patty McMurray reports, the formally trained former Marine was hauled before a judge last week for sentencing. Unable to afford a lawyer and unwilling to trust one supplied by the state, the based Banksy represented himself — offering this stirring statement to judge deciding his fate:My wife is a migrant. I must have paid over $10,000 to get her here legally. I paid for expensive biometric scans twice, a health screening, background check. Documents had to be signed stating that she would not be a burden to the taxpayers. She’s never spent a day worried about having a roof over her head or where our next meal was coming from, this because we did it the right way. I, like most, don’t have a problem with immigration; I have a problem with unchecked illegal immigration.I’m a self-employed artist who’s educated at one of the top art colleges in the world. I know my country; I speak its language. I’m familiar with the marketplace of my chosen profession, and with all this, I can no longer afford to live in my own country. How do these migrants have any hope to to make it here, at least not without financially bankrupting our communities while at the same time overlooking America’s forgotten poor, including veterans who live out on the street?These newcomers, some of whom are extremely violent, are always dumped in underrepresented communities, making an already bad situation worse. Last winter, tens of thousands of improperly vetted migrants, many illegally in the country, were dropped off in Denver in -12 degree weather. Many forced to brave the cold in tents. It was reported that some were forced to prostitute their wives, daughters, and girlfriends simply to keep from starving or freezing to death. Politicians from both sides of the political aisle should be ashamed of themselves for what they put the poorest from around the world through by conning them to come here — especially in the middle of winter.I pray we still have a First Amendment to help protect political art, which is its intended purpose. Nothing was destroyed or permanently damaged, except maybe for the feelings of some local politicians for pointing out the mess they’ve made of things.Now Sabo must pay a fine and perform community service — all while continuing to support himself and his work on a shoestring budget. In an email to Align, Sabo emphasized that he's not the only one sticking his neck out to spread the truth. "My main assistant is about to pull the plug on his mother, and I'd like to spend some time with him as well," he writes. "And I'm not rich, so this would help. That guy has [done more to help] us putting up art than anyone I know."In other words, if you're already a Sabo fan, now would be a good time to express your support. Go to his website and buy some original art — perhaps his new Vote Wisely poster. Or contribute to the GiveSendGo he's set up to help pay his legal fees. And if you're not a Sabo fan yet, check out Align's coverage of his previous missions here.

A new poll from the U.S. Senate race in Ohio may have dashed Democrats' hopes to keep their tenuous control of the upper chamber of the Congress. 'Sherrod Brown has been a rubber stamp for the radical left.' The Morning Consult poll released Thursday found that the Republican challenger Bernie Moreno had taken the lead over the incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown by 1%. A second poll by Fabrizio Lee for the Moreno campaign found the Republican had surpassed Brown by three percentage points, from 47% to 44%. The error margin for the poll was. 3.1%. Axios pointed out that Democrats are more likely to vote early, but the early voting results were dead even, which was a positive sign for the likelihood of a Republican victory. "Sherrod Brown has been a rubber stamp for the radical left, only cares about keeping his tax payer funded salary, and sold out Ohio to San Francisco liberals like Kamala Harris," said Moreno on social media. The race is the most expensive congressional race with $483 million already spent. The campaign for the Republican has been bolstered by his support for cryptocurrency, as one crypto PAC has donated $40 million to change the owner of the Senate seat. Brown, as the chair of the banking committee, is one of the top opponents of cryptocurrency. “The FTX collapse showed how dangerous crypto can be,” said Brown at a Banking Committee hearing in 2023. “But FTX wasn't the only bad apple. It was just the most explosive example of the problems in crypto: failure to provide real disclosure, the conflicts of interest, the risky bets with customer money that was supposed to be safe," he added. "For consumers, it adds up to billions of dollars.” Moreno has criticized Brown on cryptocurrency and accused him of not knowing the "difference between blockchain and a chainsaw." The Senate can flip to Republican control with just one seat change from Democrats or if Republicans win the presidency and control the tie-breaker between the two sides. Like Blaze News?

Outspoken Florida sheriff Grady Judd blasted the open border of the Biden-Harris administration after a human trafficking crackdown led to the arrests of 25 illegal aliens as well as a Disney employee.The operation netted 157 arrestees, and Judd — who heads up the Polk County Sheriff's Office — emphasized how the border crisis has substantially exacerbated human trafficking crimes in the United States.The sheriff's office held a press conference Thursday announcing the results of a multi-agency operation titled "Operation Autumn Sweep." 'When are we going to get tired of this? When have we had enough? When are we going to say, "The hardworking people of the United States are who we need to be taking care of."'The five-day undercover investigation went after suspects who solicited prostitutes, offered to commit prostitution, and other suspects who committed crimes related to prostitution and other sex crimes. "Three additional suspects were arrested for soliciting who they thought were children online, and charged with traveling to meet a minor, attempted lewd and lascivious battery on a minor, and use of a computer to seduce a child," the sheriff's office said in a press release, One of those suspects accused of child sex crimes works at Disney World. WTVT-TV reported that the Disney World employee was out on bond for the same charges in another state — soliciting a child online.As a result of the operation, four human trafficking victims were rescued.According to the sheriff's office, 47 arrestees were prostitutes, 96 were johns, and one was a human trafficker. The oldest suspect was 61, and the youngest was 15. In addition, 26 arrestees were married. Judd said of those arrested that there were 327 prior felony charges and 400 prior misdemeanor charges.Judd noted that 25 individuals arrested in the operation were illegal immigrants.During the press conference, Judd emphasized the border crisis led to these criminal activities in Florida. Two of the human trafficking victims told sheriff's investigators that they had to pay off coyote debts of $6,000.Judd pointed out that the human trafficking victims who were in the country illegally had to turn 20 "tricks" a day to pay off the coyote who brought them into the U.S. illegally. The sheriff said the victims were physically abused by their human trafficker to compel them to work as prostitutes. Judd added that one of the female suspects from Venezuela entered the U.S. in El Paso, Texas, and said she was "greeted by the Border Patrol." "She simply walked across the open border," the sheriff continued before stressing that "there is no border security at the southern border. Zero. It doesn't exist." The suspect allegedly said Border Patrol processed her in one day and then told her "all about the benefits" for which she would be eligible, including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, free housing, free travel to Chicago, and free travel to Florida.Judd also ripped the Biden-Harris administration over the border crisis: "Make no mistake about it, the government is complicit, and is aiding and abetting human trafficking in the United States."Judd pointed out that illegal immigrants are receiving federal assistance while Americans suffering from recent hurricanes in Florida and North Carolina are struggling."When are we going to get tired of this? When have we had enough? When are we going to say, 'The hardworking people of the United States are who we need to be taking care of?'" Judd asked.This isn't the first time a Disney employee has been arrested for sex crimes.As Blaze News previously reported in 2022, a construction subcontractor building a new roller coaster at Walt Disney World in Orlando was arrested in another Polk County Sheriff's Office sex sting. Another Polk County Sheriff's Office undercover operation resulted in the arrest of a Disney World employee in 2022.
