The Glaring Omission From Marianne Williamson's 2024 Campaign Website

By

 Here's a screen shot of the "Issues" page:





"What's missing?," you may ask. Easy: anything about foreign policy. It's kinda important for a presidential candidate to have one because the US President is the Commander and Chief of the US military and is directly responsible for America's foreign excursions. 

In addition, this is surprising considering that Williamson didn't shy away from addressing foreign policy issues in her previous run for office. For 2020, she stared off with a "peace-building" philosophy that became a little more detailed over time and then began to include solid views on China, the Middle East, North Korea, Russia, and the Global South.  (Williamson also mentioned free college, but it's not clear if she's aware that the US Military depends on people being broke/poor in order to replenish their ranks, and that higher education plays a part in that).

It should not have been difficult to do a "cut & paste" of 2020 with some tweaks, but to be foreign-policy deficient make one wonder if (1) Williamson is serious about running and (2) if she's worried that her current foreign policy views would do more harm than good.  

UPDATE: It looks like a "Department of Peace" section was added. Nothing addressing specific countries or conflicts, but it's something.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
