Chuck Baker is Right! Well, I am. What I mean is that my friends always joke that I’m always right (or at least I think I am). The thing is I don’t say anything, unless I know I’m right. So it's not that I’m right about everything, but usually when I speak I know what I’m talking about. My dad always said, “Don’t speak unless you know your right.” This blog includes many subjects like religion, politics, business, movies, sports, and more.

Cabrini

This is a powerful movie that is raw and emotional.   This is a great movie that actually shows what a strong woman can do.  If you aren't religious you will still enjoy the movie, because at no time does to try to preach about Christianity.  If you are a Christian you will and notice moments that are profoundly Biblical. Overall it tells a powerful story of determination, love for your fellow man, and how one person can accomplish great things.  The story is well done.  The actress was amazing.  Just a really great movie.  And stay through the credits for a special original song sung by Andre Bocelli.

The Expendables 4

The Expendables 4 might be the worst Stallone movie I've ever seen.   To be fair it isn't really a Stallone movie as he is only in about 20% of the movie. And really isn't even an Expendables movie as the Expendables team is hardly used.   It is a Jason Statham movie and a bad one.  Instead of practical effects it was obvious that they entire movie was on a green screen.   It was extremely cheap and poor quality CGI.  At no point did I believe the action was real.  The acting was poor and Megan Fox was absolutely terrible.  The story is also just ridiculous and felt pointless.  I love The Expendables franchise, but they should have stopped at 3.

Top Ten Greatest Movies of All Time

2.  Casablanca 
3.  Rocky 
4.  It's a Wonderful Life 
5.  The Shawshank Redemption 
6.  To Kill a Mockingbird 
7.  Gone With the Wind

9.  The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
10. Titanic 

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning part 1

Tom Cruise proves again that he is currently the biggest and best action star.  This Mission Impossible is likely the best and funniest in the series.  The car chase is both action packed and hilarious.  Mt wife and I were watching it and thinking this is us driving together.   The big stunt was amazing.   The entire audience was holding their breath.  What is great about this movie is that it both has a satisfying ending and a cliffhanger to make you excited for part 2.  Overall this is why you go theaters.  It felt real and not like watching a CGI video game.   And at almost 3 hours it didn't feel like it at all.

Sound of Freedom

This is a true story that is both amazing and heartbreaking.   It tells the story of a DHS agent who catches Pedophiles, but decides to quit his job to find children that are being sex trafficked.   You watch the movie and you are angry, then sad, then angry, then sad, scared, happy, and so much more.  The acting is top notch especially the star Jim Caviezel and the young boy.  The action is very good and so is the drama.  It is one of the best movies I've seen and it is what Hollywood is lacking in their films.  

The Flash

The Flash is absolutely amazing.   Michael Keaton is Batman and does a great job.  I really like the young lady that played Supergirl.  I would watch a movie with her.  And while Ezra Miller is a crazy SOB, he did a great job.  His relationship with his mother really got to me.  This is not only one of the best DCEU movies, but also one of the best overall superhero movies. The story movies well with great action, humor, and acting.

How Can Trump Win?

Trump Supporters please tell me how Trump is going to win the general election?

I am not voting for Trump in the Republican Primary, because I know he has no chance to win the general election.   I think Trump was a great president, but he can't win the general election.   Hillary got 3 million more votes than Trump.  Biden got 7 million more votes than Trump.  Hillary was one of the worst candidates for president ever and Biden was living in his basement.   

And look at the states that Trump will need to win the electoral college.  Pennsylvania voted for a guy with brain damage over a Trump guy.  Georgia voted for a governor by a wide margin that Trump was against, then voted for 2 Democrat Senators.  And one of those Senators won twice beating Trump's guy.  Arizona is now a blue state.  Both Trump picks for Senator and governor lost. In 2016, Trump pulled out a victory by winning Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.  Those states have gone more Democrat since 2016.  Trump can't win those states.  In 2020, he not only lost those states, but lost red states like Arizona and Georgia. 

For those that say the 2020 election was stolen.  Okay, so how will it be different in 2024?  What has changed since 2020, that will keep the election from being stolen?  Nothing has changed.  If anything it will be even more likely that the Democrats could do underhanded things.   So how do we overcome this?  We need a candidate that can win more than 47% of the popular vote.

Trump got less than 47% of the popular vote in 2016 and 2020.  Hillary got 48% and Biden over 51%.  Trump will likely get only 45% of the vote in 2024.  To win the Republicans will need someone that can get 51% of the popular vote.  A Republican that gets 51%, can't lose even if there is corruption in the election.  

So Trump Supporters again, how is Trump going to win?
