(Parody) Senator Mike Lee uses “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” poster to summarize the Green New Deal

Glamorous, but disappointing.

That’s how Utah Senator Mike Lee (Republican) describes the Green New Deal.

During deliberations this week when the U.S. Senate voted 57-0 against the Green New Deal, Senator Lee used a poster of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” to illustrate what the Green New Deal actually is.

“Like this poster here, the Green New Deal is meant to built up your hopes and dreams that everything in it is gonna be great,” Senator Lee said on the senate floor during his allotted debate time, motioning to the “Last Jedi” poster. “It may look awesome, but once you slog through it you realize it’s the worst deal ever to hit the big screen or the Senate floor,” he added.

Lee was joined by the other Republican Senators in striking down the Green New Deal, along with four Democrats (because there are no such thing as Independent senators). 

Surprisingly, 2020 Democrat Presidential candidates — including Democrat Senators Bernie Sanders, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, and Kirsten Gillibrand — voted “no” or “present” during the Green New Deal vote, despite pleading to push the Green New Deal through and pass it if they win in 2020. 

“Sure I like ‘The Last Jedi’ and the Green New Deal, but once it boils down to it, I can’t support it or condemn it,” Booker said. “I like having it both ways and making conservatives and liberals angry.”

Booker said he thinks the same thing about the SJWs ruining Star Wars movies and real Star Wars fans. 

Actor Mark Hamill, who played the iconic role of Luke Skywalker throughout the Star Wars franchise, immediately condemned Lee’s use of the poster to promote conservatives.

Hamill then retreated to his private island where he drank green milk and ate roasted Porg, abandoning everyone who depended on him.

Movie Review: The 5th Wave as Anti-Military propaganda

This article was originally published on June 9, 2017. Normally a story that involves humans fighting seemingly invincible aliens warrants a good story. You'd also think the military would be there to protect Americans. But before long, it becomes clear to the protagonists in “The 5th Wave (2016)” that Americans should resist the military, that the soldiers are the real enemy to humanity. "The 5th Wave," based on the Rick Yancey novel of the same name, follows a long line of Hollywood's assaults on the honor and integers of the brave men and women who fight for their country. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood hasn't limited their attacks to five. The film centers around a young girl who sets out to find her brother after their father is killed in a massacre carried out by military forces. Right after the parents do the natural thing and resist being separated from their children forever. This is the director's way of telli...

Life and Persecution: Some so-called Catholics that should be excommunicated

(This article was originally published on January 20, 2018) The Roman Catholic Church has seen its share of good and bad times. Yet the Catholic Church has survived for over 2,000 years, from the persecution by the Roman Empire to the rise and fall of Communism.  Yesterday, January 19, young Catholic men and women across the United States joined tens of thousands of other young adults in the 45th March for Life. Even those who were unable to march continue to support the pro-life cause and live their Catholic faith everyday of their lives. All of these men and women—Catholics, Christians, and non-Christians alike—showed our country that there are plenty of Millennials stand up for the unborn and want to end legalized abortion in the United States. Catholics should be proud of their heritage as Catholics and to call themselves Catholic. They are part of the majority of lay people who really do their best to live and practice their Catholic faith. But ...
