'Sopranos' star says many celebs are against Biden agenda, but are 'petrified'

Emmy-winning actress Drea de Matteo told Donald Trump Jr. in a podcast interview that many prominent celebrities like herself are against Biden’s agenda but are afraid to speak out.

De Matteo, who rose to fame in HBO’s "The Sopranos" spoke with former President Donald Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. on a recent episode of his "Triggered" podcast. De Matteo has a history of slamming cancel culture, even starting a streetwear brand called "Ultrafree" that helps "promote free speech."

De Matteo spoke about how she has changed her opinions on certain issues such as illegal immigration, and that while she previously voted for Biden based on sympathy for illegal immigrants, the chaos at the border has changed her mind. After showing off a cap from her friends’ company, Sloppy Tease, that read "Close the border you moron," they discussed the mass illegal immigration of able-bodied, fighting-age men. "I just don’t know that they’re here to support the American people," de Matteo said.

Trump Jr. noted that he had met some of de Matteo’s former co-stars in New York and suggested, "I don’t feel like a lot of those guys were leftist liberals," yet even so, he did not want to out them as non-liberals until they wanted to come forward themselves. He then asked de Matteo if she had noticed other Hollywood actors also question modern leftist policy, but who don’t quite "have the guts to do what you’re doing."

While de Matteo still considers herself a liberal in a certain sense, she said that she has been against modern far-left trends for a long time, even if she has been open about it only recently. "I really did want to fight, but I didn’t think I had, A, the voice, B, the balls," but said everything changed once she "got thrown to the wolves."....................

All dogs have the natural instinct to chase prey. It’s up to the owner to train them

My bird dogs ignore everything but their target. None of them chase deer cause I break them from that

Years ago, we had somebody who shot a neighbor dog because it was chasing a deer. It turned out to be a very expensive decision for that person and rightly so

And 14 months is still considered a pup. Especially larger breeds. And a hunting dog is geared more towards chasing birds

I agree with the poster that stated it sounded like she didn’t even bother to train it and then was upset when the dog did what it naturally is supposed to do. Dogs don’t learn like we do. But they can learn

I had a labrador once that was so well trained against chasing livestock that you could take him to a city park where people were feeding ducks and he would ignore them. But my son would take him duck hunting and he would retrieve every bird

We’ve raised chickens and labradors, and only once had a problem that I fixed, and the dog never touched a chicken again but would hunt his ass off in the bird woods


I’ve always said there’s no such thing as a bad dog. It’s bad owners that are the problem

I'm well aware of gas operations in WV. I hear them at night. There are wells within just a few miles of our home. That said, natural gas is not enough without coal, and solar/wind will never make up for coal.

The US in 2022 gets more electrical power from renewables than coal.

"It used to be PUNK, R&R to vote Democrat. I fell for it," Currie said on X.

"But when your party demands you live in fear, squaller, beyond your means by just buying groceries, gasoline, disrespecting our veterans, our police, our elderly, supporting CRIMINALS, chaos, riots, Hamas, FAILING Israel, demeaning us at every turn! HURTING our CHILDREN! Wasting OUR MONEY."

"Ineptitude with every policy! Lies and more lies..  NO MORE!" she continued. "The Democrat Party can KISS MY A**.

US Officials Doubt China’s Stealth Bomber Can Rival American Designs
April 24, 2024 China, Troubled AreasDAVID CENCIOTTI
 
US intel confident that China’s forthcoming long-range stealth bomber, the Xian H-20, will not match up to American B-2 or B-21 designs.
According to a Department of Defense intelligence official who briefed reporters at the Pentagon on Apr. 22, the long awaited Xian H-20 stealth bomber design is considered inferior to advanced U.S. low observable (LO) platforms, such as the 35-year old B-2 or the more modern B-21, facing significant engineering challenges in achieving similar capabilities.

“The thing with the H-20 is when you actually look at the system design, it’s probably nowhere near as good as US LO [low observable] platforms, particularly more advanced ones that we have coming down,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity, according to a report by Breaking Defense‘s Michael Marrow.

While the H-20 is anticipated to serve as China’s response to American platforms like the 6th generation B-21 Raider, details about the Chinese program remain scarce due to intense state secrecy with lots of wild rumors and speculations spreading across the web.
