FEDERAL JUDGE RULES: IF MEN ARE SUBJECT TO MILITARY DRAFT, WOMEN MUST BE TOO
by Kevin Ryan

A federal judge has ruled that the all-male military draft is unconstitutional. The case was brought by the National Coalition For Men, a men’s rights group, and two men who argued the all-male draft was unfair.

U.S. District Judge Gray Miller agreed, saying that while historical restrictions on women serving in combat may have justified past exclusion of women from the draft, men and women are now both able to serve in combat rolls.

'Captain Marvel' Review Bombing: Rotten Tomatoes Removes Toxic "Reviews"

The "review bombing" of Brie Larson's new movie is just the latest in a ongoing trend.

Three weeks before the release of Captain Marvel, the film’s Rotten Tomatoes page was carpet-bombed with negative user reviews that drove down the movie’s score on the premier website for deciding which movies are worth seeing.
Some cited “comic book movie fatigue” or critiqued early trailers, but others targeted the film’s star, Brie Larson, and its presumed message of female empowerment. Several even implicated violence.

“You could not pay me to see this SJW laden white male hating worthless POS movie,” commented one user. “I am sick of this identity politics taking over pop culture. Brie Larson could get hit by a bus and I would not shed a tear.”

This comment, and others like it, have already been removed by Rotten Tomatoes, which has made a practice of removing offensive user reviews since at least as far back as Marvel’s Black Panther. But the site’s Captain Marvel page remains a battleground in the ongoing online culture war between progressives and conservatives, and the latest example of a growing tactic referred to as “review bombing.”

Captain Marvel won’t be released theatrically until March 8, but users on Rotten Tomatoes, which received 83 million views in January according to industry tracker Comscore, have already added their negative impressions, arguing that the film’s progressive “agenda” is a reason they don’t want to see it.

These impressions are literally some the first things people see when they visit a movie’s index page on Rotten Tomatoes. For every movie, the site measures “Critics’ Scores” — the average of positive/negative reviews written by professional critics at established outlets — and “Audience Scores” with Rotten Tomatoes’ user community. Creating an account on Rotten Tomatoes only takes seconds, faster if you use a Facebook login.

For movies not yet released, such as Captain Marvel, the only metric is Rotten Tomatoes surveying its users if they’re going to see it at all. As of this writing, the audience “score” for Captain Marvel is 53 percent “Want to See.” Had this been the actual audience score, Captain Marvel would be “rotten,” meaning the movie is “bad” in terms of the site’s binary “fresh/rotten” metric.

25 MS-13 gang members deported from migrant caravan in Mexico, officials say

I don’t care anymore because, again, I’m at least trying and they’re not. So, the power is in the person who’s trying, regardless of the success.

If you’re trying, you’ve got all the power, you’re driving the agenda, you’re doing all this stuff. I just introduced Green New Deal two weeks ago and it’s creating all this conversation. Why? Because no one else has even tried.

So, people are like “oh, it’s unrealistic, oh it’s vague, oh it doesn’t address this little minute thing” and I’m like YOU TRY! You do it. Cuz you’re not. Cuz you’re not.

So, until you do it, I’m the boss. How ’bout that?
