Today’s classic cartoon is another Warner Brothers’ Merrie Melodies, directed by Tex Avery, and featuring Egghead, the forerunner to Elmer Fudd. Made in 1939, A Day At the Zoo is chalkful of corny puns and homespun humor that still works because it’s fast-paced and fairly breezy. Here, we’re entertained by two bucks (deer) and five scents (skunks)! The pack of camels are smoking, of course. Egghead tests his luck with a lion. More from the OldHorseman.
The California Raisins along with assorted other stop-action characters sing Christmas music, hosted by Siskel & Ebert dinosaurs. The ’80s were kinda’ weird, man.
This special originally aired on CBS in 1987. Directed by Will Vinton, who also did the claymation in The Return to Oz. Thanks to the OldHorseman on Bitchute.
It’s Christmas Eve. We celebrate with a little Tom and Jerry in their 1941 short The Night Before Christmas. Co-directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, The Night Before Christmas was nominated for the Oscar for best short animation of 1941. It lost to Disney’s Lend A Paw, starring Mickey Mouse.
Outdoor photographer Kenneth Frantz, who has crisscrossed our land filming America the Beautiful by drone, has turned his attention to President’s Trump’s border wall, perhaps the largest construction project in the world. Frantz says he stumbled across construction of the wall by accident, while filming the majestic national parks in the Southwest and thought it would be an interesting project to drone. So he filmed the entire 950-mile border with Mexico, putting 3,000 miles on his Hertz rental truck in 10 days, then spent another eight days editing the film. The video went 1 million-plus viral. Says Frantz, “The purpose of doing so was to show the immensity of this undertaking, the pride that comes when watching American ingenuity in its full glory and the utter lack of imagination and truth-telling displayed by our media.” Here’s his story.

Perceived as an outsider in 1861, Abraham Lincoln shocked the nation by unexpectedly winning the presidency for the Republican Party and the Democrats went absolutely berserk. Fast forward 155 years to the 2016 election and another outsider, Donald J. Trump, stunned the world by winning the White House. And, yes, the Democrats were beside themselves. And nearly three years later, they’re still nuts.
The two elections are eerily similar and begs the question: What gives the Democrat Party the license to trump an electoral election in a Democratic Society? Conservative pundit and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza explores the analogy and the explosive truths in his new film Death of a Nation. “The movie looks at the themes of fascism and racism, which are the two incendiary bombs that the left are using to try to delegitimize Trump,” D’Souza says. Learn more as he joins Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro on “Justice With Judge Jeanine.”
