I wonder how many Americans remember the COLD WAR? How many remember President Reagan? I always loved how much in love President Reagan and Nancy were. It has been a long time since I have seen that kind of love and care in the White House! How many remember President Reagan stating, “Tear down this wall!” Reagan called on Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin wall! It happened! One of the greatest moments in world history!

Dennis Quaid’s “Reagan” outperformed expectations, earning an estimated $9 million during its opening weekend — nearly doubling projections of $5 million. The film finished third at the box office, trailing behind “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “Alien” and secured the No. 3 per-screen average.

Audiences awarded the film an A CinemaScore and a 98% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a stark contrast to the 18% score from critics. This 80-point disparity is the largest gap between critics and audiences in Hollywood history, according to a media release. It surpasses the previous record of 65% held by “The Boondock Saints,” which had a 91% audience approval and a 26% critic score.

“We are thrilled to be sitting in the top 5 with our first movie in a competitive market over this holiday weekend. We expect the film will continue to grow in the weeks ahead, especially in the South and Midwest,” said exhibition veteran Kevin Mitchell, president of the newly launched Showbiz Direct, which released the film on 2,750 screens.  More Here

Back at the news desk this morning! Glory! We love serving you and God! No surprise here from Lifeway Research: Currently, half of Americans (49%) say they would rate the overall state of moral values in the country as poor. A third (34%) say they’re fair, 14% rate them as good, and just 1% say they’re excellent, according to Gallup. JESUS is the answer not more dirty politics! JESUS! The GOP caves on abortion! EVIL! Going against GOD is never a good idea, and that is exactly what the GOP is now doing. Makes me sick they are playing political football with GOD’S BABIES!

The dumbing down of America continues…..
