Smug Celebrities Like Ethan Hawke and Ellen DeGeneres Whine About America
[YouTube] Megyn Kelly is joined by Emily Jashinsky, host of "After Party," to discuss Ethan Hawke’s whining on the Sundance red carpet about being afraid to speak, tone-deaf commentary from celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres and Molly Ringwald, and more.

Megyn Kelly and Emily Jashinsky are having way too much fun

#3  Ethan Hawke.
You've maybe heard the name, now name a movie.

I gave up, checked the filmography, and without giving away the game I had to go back to 2001. Maybe that says something about me as well, but usually pretty good at that game.

#4  So his parents were from Austin, divorced when he was five, lived with mom the charity worker, who became a middle class transient for five years then re-married, and without any on-paper credentials somehow worked his way into the fast track for young male actors. Uh huh.

Here's you one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.

#5  You've maybe heard the name, now name a movie.

Predestination 2014.
To be fair, I remembered the title as "All You Zombies" which is the name of the Heinlein short story the movie was made from.

#6  He was OK in "Training Day", but Denzel made the movie, as usual

#7  I enjoyed Training Day, but I've only seen it once, and I had forgotten Hawke was the supporting actor.

Last time variance movie I watched and enjoyed was "The One", unless "Jean Claude van Johnson" counts.

#1  Based on the search results, here are resources for accessing lists of US government-registered NGOs:

## Major Databases

**GlobalGiving Atlas** - The largest database with **1,388,496 validated nonprofits** registered in the United States. This combines government data, public information, and other reliable sources to ensure each entry is a valid nonprofit. You can access the data through their standardized API, JSON, or CSV files.

**Union of International Associations** - Describes NGOs as legally constituted organizations created by private persons or organizations without government participation, which can be organized at any level from local to international.

## Notable US-Based NGOs

Some prominent examples of registered NGOs operating in the US include:
- American Civil Liberties Union
- Amnesty International
- Human Rights Watch
- Freedom House
- National Endowment for Democracy
- Committee to Protect Journalists
- National Urban League

## How to Access Complete Lists

The most comprehensive approach is through **GlobalGiving Atlas**, which provides frequently updated, verified information for all US nonprofits. You can also search development organizations through databases that cover over 53,000 organizations worldwide, searchable by country.

#2  The Norwegian resistance used clandestine on-line gaming programs to help defeat Russian forces in the television series Okkupert (Occupy). A very interesting series with numerous current political parallels.

* Contains Euro-Union betrayal and lesbian scenes.

#4  /\ "Russians, disguised as Muslims?"

No Grom, but you will be enthralled by the "Euro-Union betrayal and lesbian scenes."

#6  The market is down over 600 this morning. I have to wonder if that is a result of Trump's threat to "come to the aid" of the Iranians.

How about we just let those people handle their own problems and stay out of it ?

#8  Texas Gov Greg Abbott calls for CAIR to be stripped of non-profit status

"The spread of radical Islam in Texas must be stopped, and if school districts are continuing to promote or partner with organizations tied to an FTO, that ends now," said Attorney General Paxton. "I will ensure that taxpayers’ dollars are not materially supporting activities by Islamist terrorists in violation of Texas law."

Soros-linked ICE Protests

**Indivisible Twin Cities**, a left-wing activist group and local branch of the national **Indivisible Project**, is central to the organized protests against ICE in Minnesota, particularly following the January 2026 deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The group has received **close to $7.8 million between 2018 and 2023** from **George Soros’s Open Society Foundations**, either directly or through intermediary funders like the **Tides Foundation**.

These protests are described as highly coordinated, involving multiple activist coalitions, fiscal sponsorship mechanisms, and encrypted communications on platforms like **Signal**, where tactics for tracking and obstructing ICE agents have reportedly been shared. Investigative reports indicate that training materials, protest logistics, and even drumlines are pre-planned, suggesting a professionalized operation rather than spontaneous grassroots action.

Other groups tied to the movement include:
- **CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations)** Minnesota, which has played an active role in demonstrations.
- **Sunrise Movement**, which has released lists of hotels where ICE agents are staying, leading to targeted harassment.
- **ICE Out of MN**, a coalition operating under fiscal sponsorship that raises funds with limited public disclosure.

National figures such as **Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner**, known for his progressive policies and Soros backing, have echoed anti-ICE sentiments, vowing to “hunt down” agents. Meanwhile, figures like self-identified Antifa member **Kyle Wagner (KAOS)** have gained visibility for inciting protests online.

While some portray the unrest as a defense of immigrant rights, critics allege it is part of a broader strategy to destabilize federal law enforcement and advance an anti-Trump agenda, funded by deep-pocketed progressive networks linked to Soros. U.S. officials, including President Trump, have announced plans to investigate the financing of these groups.

#10  You need to follow Andy Ngo on Substack, he is all over this stuff.
Posted by: Jairong+Scourge+of+the+Gepids2435 || 01/29/2026 17:44 Comments || Top||

#11  If you'd been here for any length of time, you'd know we've been following Andy since BLM. Rookie
Posted by: Frank G || 01/29/2026 19:11 Comments || Top||

#12  We’ve had a number of posts from dear Mr. Ngo over the past few days.

Is he still reporting from England, whence he had fled because Antifa was hunting him in revenge for his reports on their shenanigans in [Portland or Seattle, I can’t remember which] during the CHAD period, or has he come back home? The poor man was so shocked that they turned on him, a gay, Asian liberal, just because he dared wander downtown to see what was going on, and shared his observations on Twitter. A quick search of Rantburg’s archives reveals that the last 100 articles containing Andy Ngo’s name takes us back only to March, 2024. link. Feel free to wander about the archive for anything that stirs your curiosity, Jairong. For those of us who take the Elephant’s Child as our spirit animal, indulging our ‘satiable curiosity there leads to quite an education — the thing goes back to 9/11/2001, over a quarter century of acerbic commentary on developments in the War of Terror and a number of other subjects.

#13  Well geez, no wonder Grok says this site only has a few dozen users if that's the insulting way people get treated.
Where's the link to the onboarding process?

#14  What’s an onboarding process?
Posted by: trailing wife || 01/29/2026 21:00 Comments || Top||

#15  That's when a bastard son who never participated before in the family decides a new turn is in order
Posted by: Frank G || 01/29/2026 21:21 Comments || Top||

#16  It's a damn shame the Interwebs have only so many tubes to use, "Jairong"? I agree with you that you could find/create your own. They're free...or, as Badanov noted they're not, for capacity. Yours prolly would be. Try OnlyFans
Posted by: Frank G || 01/29/2026 22:13 Comments || Top||

#17  It sounds like our on onboarding process is reading the articles and choosing to join the conversation. There is no registration, no fee, anyone can submit articles, and the archives are open to the public.

It sounds like Jairong is complaining that our people choose to be a bit rough around the edges instead of displaying the delicacy appropriate to tea with the general’s wife — which a number of them are quite able to do. I myself have never been hosted by anyone higher than a dowager Gräfin (a German countess), which is probably just as well.

#18  the insulting way people get treated

Be happy you are only insulted and found irrelevant.
