Barack and Michelle Obama Secure Netflix Deal: Why This Should Scare You
In a multi-year deal with Netflix, Michelle and Barak Obama are taking on a series of both scripted and documentary productions.
While the tide has been turning as of late for conservatives in the culture, the left had, for the last few decades, truly won the culture war. If there’s one thing the left has down, using the news and entertainment media to blatantly push their narratives.
Now, Obama, the first true “pop culture” President, has secured his role in continuing to indoctrinate future generations for many, many years.
In a multi-year deal with Netflix, Michelle and Barak Obama are taking on a series of both scripted and documentary productions to no doubt perpetuate every pervasive leftist narrative of our time from the LGBTQ agenda to gun control to the destruction of sovereign borders.

The deal was announced via Twitter on Monday, The Hill reports.
President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have entered into a multi-year agreement to produce films and series for Netflix, potentially including scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries, and features.

“President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have entered into a multi-year agreement to produce films and series for Netflix, potentially including scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries, and features,” Netflix wrote.
The Hill notes that neither Netflix nor the Obamas had any further details on the deal, but that the New York Times had initially reported on the inception of the agreement back in March.
“President and Mrs. Obama have always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire,” Eric Schultz, an Obama senior adviser, told the NYT at the time.
“Throughout their lives, they have lifted up stories of people whose efforts to make a difference are quietly changing the world for the better. As they consider their future personal plans, they continue to explore new ways to help others tell and share their stories,” he continued.
Read: storytelling would be a fantastic way for the Obamas to continue to push the virtue-signaling, emotionally-driven identity politics that is the leftist narrative in 2018.
Before Obama even left office, there was discussion of his getting involved in media or digital communications when his time at the White House was through.
“That’s a media that connects us with people and stories we might otherwise never know,” he said of filmmaking in 2016. “And it puts us in the shoes of people potentially on the other side of the world or the neighborhood very different than the one we grew up in.”
The Daily Wire’s Emily Zanotti notes this is quite fitting for the former POTUS.
“Obama has…always wanted to be a Hollywood power player,” she says,” and this is his shot. Netflix has 125 million subscribers, and some of those are bound to be such die-hard Obama fans they’d watch anything he’d produce.”

Hollywood Steps Up To Defend Antisemitic Democrat
Are these Hollywood actors so blinded by their “resistance” that they are willing to become antisemite-sympathizers?
There are so many different anecdotes about history and its reputation for repetition that I’ll allow you, dear reader, to fill in your own right here.
…
We look to the past to ensure our future, because it is a far more sturdy indicator of the way the world works than any social science of our modern age. We see populations rise and fall, along with their governments, all in a quest for freedom and happiness.
It is when we feel shame looking back that we have to be the most cognizant. We can’t shy away from the ugly, hateful truths of humanity.
The Holocaust is a near perfect example, although I despise the idea of situating the word “perfect” anywhere near the atrocity that I am describing.
Liberating troops in the waning days of World War II, as instructed to do so by the governments to which they took oath, led mandatory guided tours of the Nazi concentration camps for citizens living in the areas surrounding them. This was not a punishment, although the misery and sorrow certainly weighed upon these people in the same way that guilt does.
No, this was an opportunity for education; an opportunity to say, “don’t turn your back on your leaders for one minute”.
It was antisemitic hatred, driven by leftwing socialists, that caused the Holocaust, and today, here in America, we have liberals in our Congress who have expressed prejudice against the Jewish people.
What’s worse? Hollywood is siding with the antisemite.
Hollywood celebrities concerned about bigotry in America made one big exception this week to defend Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after she was accused of anti-Semitism for remarks she made about the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
“It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” Rep. Ilhan Omar said in a social media post about GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy defending Israel.
The deplorable diatribe was lambasted by the sane among us, but, for some reason, Hollywood just couldn’t let this discriminatory democrat face the music.
Trump’s criticism of Omar is ironic given how many times he has made anti-Semitic comments or hesitated to denounce such rhetoric. Here are some of the most egregious examples. https://t.co/1YT7P0uKhK # via @HuffPostPol

And then this, from Jewish comedian Sarah Silverman who has already apologized for a stunt in which she dressed like Adolf Hitler while appearing on Conan O’Brien’s late night talk show.
“we must be careful that we do not allow the justifiable aspects of the critique against Rep. Omar to lead to a reflexive position where we silence active criticism of the Israeli government, or the worst actions of the State of Israel.”⬇️ https://t.co/SHVVh9v9IW

Are these Hollywood actors so blinded by their “resistance” that they are willing to become antisemite-sympathizers?
As close to our heart as many well-loved movie franchises are, we can often forget that for the actors that bring the characters to life, the characters are that much more important to them.
Time Allen recently told Entertainment Tonight that while he and co-star Tom Hanks were filming the “Toy Story 4” script that they could barely hold it together while recording the final scenes.
“Both Tom and I, who met yesterday for our little guy’s lunch, we were both very very affected by the end of the movie,” Allen said. “So much so that he had turn around. He couldn’t even deliver his end of it, [and] I couldn’t deliver my end of it.”
“This has been over 20 years of he and I doing this, and it’s made an impact on both of our lives our families lives,” he added.
It’s amazing to think the Toy Story series has spanned two decades and that the once-fresh Pixar blockbuster has now become a well-loved classic.
The story is far from over though—Allen teased the next installment of the series.
“It’s a love story between Tom and his love interest… and then Buzz has to make a decision on how to move on with his life cause Woody’s making some different decisions…” he shared. “It’s so funny and so bright and so interesting and so affecting, towards the end.”
Allen also said there’s a good chance it will just keep on going.
“Once you’ve gotten to four, you’re passed that trilogy [point], so I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t do it, certainly,” Allen shared. “If you ask me, I’d say do five.”
