As we edge ever closer to possibly the most important presidential election in most of our lifetimes, there is so much to grab our attention: polls, interviews, debates, town halls, campaign statements, social media posts, etc., etc.
All of them are constantly trying to contend for our interest, as both teams frantically try to get our vote—even if most people made up their minds some time ago. Those pesky independents and “undecideds” could very well tip the scales to one side or the other.
My phone blows up daily with an endless stream of fundraising calls and text messages from candidates, and my email is flooded with spam. I don’t know about you, but most of this nonsense doesn’t sway me in the slightest, and the countless glossy, oversized mailers hit the recycling box posthaste while the emails get the immediate “delete” button.
I can’t lie, though, it’s exhausting.
There’s another influence at play, however, that the lamestream media ignores as much as possible: conservative movies. Yes, Hollywood is dominated by rabid Hollywood leftists who seemingly hate the country that has enabled them to enjoy so much success, but there are other voices out there too—and they’ve been using their creativity to speak out.
I speak of three recent films in particular: "REAGAN," a biopic of the Gipper starring Dennis Quaid, “Am I Racist?” featuring Daily Wire provocateur Matt Walsh, and “Line in the Sand,” delivered to you by investigative journalist James O’Keefe.
We’ve been there for all three.

Each film has many positive things going for it, and I encourage you to see each one. "REAGAN" is a moving, if imperfect, tribute to one of the most consequential presidents in modern history and effectively takes us back in time to a place where progressive extremists met their match in the Great Communicator. “Am I Racist?” brilliantly exposes the DEI race-hustling industry that has overtaken so many of our corporations and universities, while “Line In the Sand” is a powerful exposé of the Biden-Harris regime’s utter failure to secure our border—and how many people are profiting off that failure.
I would bring up another film, “Sound of Freedom,” but one has to ask, why was a movie portraying the sex trafficking of kids labeled a conservative film by the progressive elite? Shouldn’t that be an issue that concerns us all?
“These movies won’t move the needle,” some will say. The leftist press buries them, tries to invalidate them, and they just get lost. But the audience reviews of "REAGAN" are off-the-charts, and the movie has pulled in almost $30 million as of this writing. That’s not pocket change.

Hollywood doesn't exist to produce entertainment; they exist to produce propaganda, and when a film doesn't fit into that mold, they attempt to destroy it with poor ratings… pic.twitter.com/mPRW4FG9Wh
“Am I Racist?” meanwhile, has garnered over $12 million despite lacking the emotional pull of a movie about Ronald Reagan. “Line in the Sand” was just released on October 10 on the Tucker Carlson network, and while the number of viewers is currently unavailable, I saw it and can tell you that anyone who views it will think long and hard about voting for a Harris-Walz ticket that would continue the abject cruelty and grift that Biden has endorsed at our southern border.
It’s unclear how much these movies will make a difference to voters, but I can report that all of them are worthy of your attention. Anyone who watches any one of the three will be reminded of just how badly the Biden-Harris regime has failed us and how our status as a great nation is in jeopardy under these buffoons.
In this perilous era, we need a leader like Reagan, not a fraud like Kamala. I hope multitudes see these movies and vote accordingly. Andrew Breitbart was right when he said, "politics is downstream from culture."
