American Thinker: Donald Trump: Action Hero?
Clear and Present Danger, a political thriller from 1994, details the Deep State's conspiracy to wage an illegal war in Colombia and cover up their tracks. The film portrays the swamp's corrupt and self-serving mentality, as well as their disdain for well-intentioned outsiders, such as Jack Ryan. The similarities between Ryan's circumstances and President Trump's are impossible to ignore. This film, which was a massive summer blockbuster at the time, probably wouldn't be made today due to its contrary narrative. It remains one of the finest political thrillers ever made.

Wendy, a homeless woman, shared how easy it is to be homeless in Portland because the city provides three meals a day and allows people to squat in a tent and smoke their rent. She believes they are "loving us to death." Homeless expert Kevin Dahlgren agrees that woke towns are not helping the problem and believes that homelessness is mostly an addiction issue .
Dahlgren helped Wendy buy new dentures with a fundraiser and his video of Wendy's story went viral, leading to her family reaching out to him. Wendy is now living at home in Utah and in treatment. Dahlgren believes the West Coast's response to homelessness is letting addicts do what they want, resulting in an influx of what officials call "homelessness." He also believes there is a dark political angle in the response to homelessness and that politicians want to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to solve a problem that isn't what they think it is .
