'American Sniper' tops $320M at US box-office

"American Sniper" took in another $10 million this weekend to being its total U.S. box-office to $320 million. The film has also grossed $108.5 million overseas. Wouldn't it be great if "American Sniper" scores an upset win for Best Picture tonight at the Academy Awards over the overrated "Boyhood" and the over-hyped "Birdman"?

'American Sniper' tops $300M at box-office

OK, so 'Fifty Shads of Grey' dominated the Valentine's Day weekend at the box-office, but 'American Sniper' continues to do well at the domestic box-office. With a $16.4 million haul over the Feb. 13-15 weekend, 'American Sniper' has now earned $304 million in the U.S.

The Clint Eastwood-directed tribute to Chris Kyle has also earned $85.7 million overseas, making it one of the most successful movies ever. It's already among the Top 50 highest-grossing films of all time and No. 3 of all films released in the past year. It also set the record for the biggest January opening of all time.

And next weekend is the Oscars, with 'American Sniper' nominated for 6 Academy Awards.

Hitler Finds Out About Brian Williams

PA Gov. Wolf imposes death penalty moratorium in state without the death penalty

Continuing his month-long 'If It's Not Broke, Fix It" agenda, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has ordered a moratorium on executions of death row inmates in a state that hasn't executed anyone since 1999.

From Melissa Daniels of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:
Though the state hasn't carried out an execution in 16 years, Pennsylvania's prison system houses 186 death row inmates.
Since the Legislature re- authorized capital punishment in 1978, governors have signed 434 death warrants. Three executions have happened since then.
Heckavu job, Tom.

Pa. guitar teacher facing lawsuit from mega star Taylor Swift

Pop superstar Taylor Swift has forgotten where she came from. The former Wyomissing, Berks County, resident is threatening to sue her former guitar teacher because the man is attempting to make a living by starting a website called ITaughtTaylorSwift.com

There's no dispute that Ronnie Cremer taught Swift how to "play" the guitar, so what's wrong with Mr. Cremer trying to make few bucks?

Forbes estimates Swift made $64 million last year (and that was before the release of her mega-hit album, "1989."

My advice to Swift: Be nice to people on your way up because you meet them on your way down.

Is your state conservative, liberal or moderate?

Gallup has released a new survey ranking the most conservative, most liberal and most moderate states. Three Southern states top the conservative list. The People's Republican of Massachusetts tops the liberal list and Delaware tops the moderate list.




Check out the full report here.

Perplexing: Pennsylvania leans conservative but keeps voting for Democrats

Interesting Gallup survey shows more residents consider themselves "conservative" than "liberal" in Pennsylvania, but how does that explain why the state tends to vote for liberal politicians like Tom Wolf, Kathleen Kane, Bob Casey Jr. and Barack Obama? I suspect people who call themselves "moderates" are really liberals too ashamed to admit it.

Poll: Sen. Toomey holds double-digit lead over Democratic rival Sestak

Some very good news for Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey, a first-term Republican being targeted by Democrats in 2016. A new Quinnipiac University Poll shows Toomey with a double-digit lead over former Congressman Joe Sestak, who has already announced he will run against Toomey.

(Toomey defeated liberal Sestak in 2010, but 2016 is a presidential-election year and Democrats have a way of turning out lots of voters (whether they're dead, alive or citizens of other countries.)
From the poll:
U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey leads possible Democratic challenger Joe Sestak 45 - 35 percent in an early look at a possible rematch in 2016. Toomey gets a 43 - 25 percent approval rating from Pennsylvania voters, who say 37 - 29 percent that he deserves reelection. His favorability rating is 37 - 21 percent.

For Sestak, 64 percent of voters don't know enough about him to form an opinion.

'SpongeBob' knocks 'American Sniper' from No. 1 at box-office

After three weeks at No. 1, "American Sniper" dropped to No. 2 in the domestic box-office this weekend, knocked from the top perch by ... SpongeBob SquarePants? Yes, "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water" was the No. 1 film in America this weekend, earning an estimated $56 million. "American Sniper" earned another $24.1 million - good for No. 2 - and brought its total gross to $282.2 million.

The other big news at the box-office is the titanic failure of sci-fi epic "Jupiter Ascending," which could only muster $19 million in its opening weekend. The film cost Warner Bros. $176 million to produce and will go down in history as one of the biggest flops of all time. It's a good thing "American Sniper" is also a Warner Bros. film or studio executives would be jumping out of windows tonight.

Good news: Obama is planning to do to the Internet what he's done to health care

Guest Column: The real ‘Dark Money’ in Pennsylvania politics

January marked the fifth anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s controversial Citizens United v. FEC decision, which lifted many restrictions on corporate spending in politics. President Obama highlighted the anniversary with a statement saying that “it has caused real harm to our democracy” and has opened politics up to a flood of “dark money.” Some of Obama’s biggest supporters — national and state teachers unions — also routinely condemn Citizens United as a threat to free speech.

But when confronted by a legal challenge to their own political “dark money” operation, it turns out those same unions are actually secret admirers of Citizens United.

The National Education Association (NEA) and its affiliate the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) haven’t been shy about their views — well, what they’d like you to think their views are — on Citizens United. As recently as 2013, the NEA sent a letter to the U.S. House warning that the decision was “drowning out the voices of ordinary Americans.” Also in 2013, an NEA spokesperson said it “has twisted and distorted our political system.”

The NEA is even a member of United for the People — a group calling for a constitutional amendment to override the Supreme Court decision. But now, in response to a legal action filed by PSEA member Mary Trometter and the Fairness Center late last year, the unions are hypocritically citing Citizens United to excuse the fact that they misused union members’ dues money on Pennsylvania elections.

Trometter’s legal charge stems from a campaign mailer her husband received from the PSEA just before the November 2014 election. The mailer used her name to urge her husband to vote for then-candidate Tom Wolf. It was paid for by the NEA Advocacy Fund, which itself is funded by union members’ dues.

The problem is, a 45-year-old Pennsylvania law says using dues money to support candidates is illegal.

In 1970, Pennsylvania enacted the Public Employe Relations Act — a law defining how state government would interact with public employees and the unions representing them. One portion of the Act prevents union dues money from being spent in “direct or indirect” support of candidates for political office, a measure that was intended to remove the temptation for government union leaders to influence the political process.

Why is this important? The conflict of interest Governor Wolf currently faces is a good example. He received millions in direct and indirect contributions from government unions whose contracts he is now negotiating. It’s hard to be impartial when you’re negotiating partner got you into office and could be funding your next campaign — that’s why Pennsylvania passed a blanket prohibition against using dues to support candidates.

But laws are worthless if no one is willing to enforce them, and this one hasn’t been enforced in more than four decades.

In response to Trometter’s charge, the PSEA and NEA themselves admit that the election mailer, which they say was sent to about 20,000 Pennsylvanians, was funded by members’ dues.  They also admit that their magazine The Voice, which has a circulation of about 180,000 and is available for free online, is funded by union dues, is made available to the public, and advocates for political candidates.

The admissions are notable because Pennsylvania law also says that if dues are used in support of political candidates — whether directly or indirectly — the incidents must be reported to the Labor Relations Board within 90 days. The Fairness Center found that no such reports were filed in 2014, a year when The Voice endorsed Gov. Wolf on its cover.

Worse, no reports were filed in any other year since this provision was enacted in 1970. Incredibly, these unions have been ignoring state political funding laws since their inception — that’s the real “dark money” in Pennsylvania politics.

The courts will eventually decide whether Citizens United excuses their actions — union leaders don’t get to arbitrarily choose which laws they will and will not follow.

Ultimately, the integrity of our legal system must be protected. A valid state law that was put in place to protect the public and educators like Mary Trometter cannot be ignored with impunity.
