Mattacritic Podcast

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Spider-Man the 2002 version that starred Tobey Maguire, Wilem Dafoe, and Kirsten Dunst. Tobey Maguire played Spider-Man in that movie. Why do this review? I figure I might give it a new perspective since people would have seen it all those years ago. When Spider-Man: No Way Home came out in 2021, it brought back Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield and they both worked together with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man to fight the villains from the universes of both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. This means since all the movies from the Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are on Disney+, people can watch them. There is no rule that a person cannot watch any of those movies. Without this movie, there would be no MCU. When this movie was released, it broke a record for box office receipts. Iron Man would have not come out in 2008, 6 years after this movie was released. This movie showed people that you can make money from a comic book/superhero movie. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I will use images and have the video clips in the description below if you are watching the video on YouTube or it will be in the blog post on Patreon and my website. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn. Thank you.

Rest of the Review and Rating for Spider-Man (2002) Movie

Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker narrates the movie and tells the story that this story is not for the faint of heart. Peter Parker tells the story that if anyone tells you, this is a happy little tale; someone lied. Like any story this story is about a girl. He tells the viewer that it is about Mary Jane Watson played by Kirsten Dunst. Peter Parker is chasing the bus, and everyone is laughing at him for missing the bus. The bus driver is also enjoying it, which tells me how much of immature a******s they are. How can you take joy in watching someone chasing a bus? Mary Jane Watson tells the bus driver to stop the bus. He does. It is unfortunate that it took her to tell the bus driver to do the right thing. Peter Parker gets on the bus, and no one would let them sit with them. The first person who is a girl who looks like a geek would not let Peter Parker sit with her. The guy who sat behind her would not do it either. Believe me, I was a nerd like Peter Parker and since I am an introvert, it is hard for me to talk to people. At times, I will freeze and not know what to say. When I worked at the movie theater all those years ago, I could talk to people. My confidence got shaken after my automobile accident. I was told I was getting too close after my accident even though I was broken from it, so I chose to isolate myself from people. Peter Parker gets tripped by a person who is part of Flash Thompson’s crew.

Peter Parker will meet up with Harry Osborne and will be at the Columbia University’s display of the new species of spiders they have created. Peter Parker will meet Harry Osborne’s dad Norman Osborne. Norman Osborne is impressed with how Peter Parker can understand the nano technology that he created. Peter Parker will be at the demonstration and during it Flash Thompson and his crew are picking on Peter Parker. Harry Osborne tells them to leave Peter Parker alone. Flash Thompson says, “his father will fire your father. What is daddy going do, sue me?” This shows that Flash Thompson and his friends are a bunch of immature a******s. People like these are weak people and are insecure. They always must pick on those who cannot defend themselves. Picking on someone that cannot defend themselves is not strength, it is weakness. It shows that you are a coward. For example, when you hear about the ICE raids that are going on and people getting picked up for no reason. A lot of these people are not criminals, they are small children, sick people, or single mothers. They are also people who were working at a construction site here in my home of Charotte, NC. His daughter spoke out against this. These are not criminals; these are good people wanting to make it in this world. It is wrong and I do not care if it is legal, it does not make it right. You can go to this Instagram link to learn more. Their behavior is like what one would see in how these kids in high school behave like. Peter Parker will later get bitten by the spider when was taking pictures of Mary Jane Watson. He will get sick and must sleep. It will transform him into Spider-Man.

Here is a clip from the opening scene.

Peter told his aunt and uncle that he needed to sleep. Peter Parker will later have a fight with Flash Thompson which he will win. He runs away after that. He later finds out he has superpowers.

Here is the clip of the fight scene with Flash Thompson.

Peter will climb a wall after the fight with Flash Thompson and one of the words he says is Shazam which is a DC comic book character. Here is a clip from that scene.

Peter does not decide to fight crime or help people with them; he decides to use it for himself. He will become a wrestler. He wanted to buy a car so he can impress Mary Jane Watson. Uncle Ben will tell him that with “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.” He also told Peter that just because you can beat him up does not give you the right to. I understand that principle since I took Tae Kwon Do. Just because I can beat someone up doesn’t mean I should beat someone up. It is for defensive reasons not offensive reasons.

Here is a clip of Uncle Ben talking to Peter before the fight with Bone Saw MacGraw.

Peter Parker will win the match against Bone Saw MacGraw and the owner of the fight only pays him $100.00. Here is a clip from the wrestling match.

Peter Parker is mad and after the owner gets robbed, he lets the robber escape. Peter Parker will later learn that his uncle Ben was murdered, and he goes after the killer. Here is a clip of Peter watching his Uncle Ben die.

Peter chases the killer and finds out that it was the same man that he let escape after robbing the owner of the wrestling match. Peter Parker must break his wrist after he put a gun on him, and he trips out the window and the robber ends up dying because of the fall. Peter Parker escapes.

Here is the clip of Peter Parker getting revenge for Uncle Ben’s murder.

Peter Parker will meet with his Aunt May, and she cries in his arms after they both knew that Uncle Ben was murdered. It is sad to say the least.

Norman Osborne will blow up the Quest Aerospace testing site as the Green Goblin and here is that clip.

Peter Parker, Harry Osborne, and Mary Jane Watson graduate from high school. Mary Jane Watson will break up with Flash Thompson. Harry Osborne will make his move. Norman Osborne tells Peter Parker if he needs him just give him a call. Here is that clip of the graduation.

The movie will progress with Norman Osborne deciding to kill the board members after they decide to sell OsCorp to Quest Aerospace. Norman Osborne will do this as the Green Goblin at the OsCorp Unity Festival. Peter Parker is there to take pictures of the festival. He was hired by the Daily Bugle to take pictures of Spider-Man earlier in the movie. This means that he is taking pictures of himself. The Board members see the Green Goblin and one of them will say that is our glider. The Green Goblin throws the grenade, and it explodes with the board members on along with Mary Jane Watson. Peter Parker must become Spider-Man to keep more people from being hurt. The Green Goblin kills the board members so that Norman Osborne can keep his company. Spider-Man stops the Green Goblin from hurting more people and he rescues Mary Jane Watson.

Here is a clip of the Green Goblin murdering the board members, and Spider-Man saving a kid from getting hurt and saving Mary Jane Watson.

The movie will progress with Norman Osborne meeting his dual personality in the mirror. When he became the Green Goblin, it created another personality. This means that he has multiple personality disorder. I mentioned this disorder when I did the Moon Knight reviews. I also mentioned when I did Gotham Knight reviews. Both Marc Specter and Harvey Dent have multiple personality disorder. The side that is dark tells him, “Do you think it was coincidence, all these good things happening for you.” Norman says, “What do you want?” “To do what you can’t, to remove those who stand in your way.” “The Board members, you killed them.” “We killed, them, remember your little accident.” “The Performance enhancers.” “Me, your greatest creation, giving you what you always wanted, power, beyond your wildest dreams. There is only one that can stop us but imagined if he joined us.”

This will progress to the Green Goblin attacking the Daily Bugle and Spider-Man must come to stop him. Green Goblin will knock him out with sleeping gas. Green Goblin offers Spider-Man to join him. He leaves him with that decision. Here is a clip of that attack. It will also have the trailer that was seen in Final Fantasy.

Spider-Man will save Mary Jane Watson from a bunch of rapists and will have the upside-down kiss which is cool. Here is a clip from that rescue.

Spider-Man will later have to save a baby from a burning building. A police officer goes to arrest him after he does that. Spider-Man will go back in the building when he thought there was another person who needed his help. Green Goblin will want to know if he wants to join him. Spider-Man tells him no and Green Goblin will release the grenades that have blades on them. One of them cuts Spider-Man and Spider-Man kicks the Green Goblin. Green Goblin will say, “No one says no to me.” Powerful people like him hate when you say no to them or do not bend the knee to them. Please click here to watch the clip of that rescue and Spider-Man saying no to the Green Goblin.

Norman Osborne will later learn that Peter Parker is Spider-Man and will target those who Peter Parker cares about as the Green Goblin. This is an example of weakness not strength. Going after people who cannot defend themselves is weakness not strength. I will leave you with this. What happens at the end of the film? Please leave a comment below. Thank you.

I give Spider-Man (2002) movie, a 10 out of 10. It is exactly how you do an origin story. It gives you the feel what it is like to be a nerd like Peter Parker and suddenly you are given a big responsibility of having to protect those who cannot protect themselves. He is only a kid when he gets his powers. It shows the viewer how Norman Osborne is corrupt and does not care about who he hurts if he gets what he wants. There are those in life who will do whatever it takes to get money and power. Both money and power are addictive and corrosive. That is why there needs to be a check on both. Too much money and power will corrupt people, and it shows what happens and what people will do to get it.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. I hope you are doing well.

Rest of my thoughts on the Heroes Convention on June 13, 2026, in Chalotte, NC at the Charlotte Convention Center

As I told you, I will have pictures of the Heroes Convention and a video of the event. I took the light rail up to the Charlotte Convention Center when I went there on Saturday, June 13, 2026, which is the second day of the event. As I told you before, the event for the Heroes Convention took place from June 12 to June 14, 2026. The one for next year will take place from June 11 to June 13, 2027. You can go to https://www.heroesonline.com/heroescon/ and learn more about this event if you want to go next year. I am giving you my assessment and my opinion on this, but this is worth going. I will leave a link to my experience of going last year and I will tell you that it is worth going.

Here are a couple of videos at the Heroes convention.

Please click this https://youtube.com/shorts/Oh-WxE-L01k to view the short for part one.

Please click this

to view the short for part two.

I ran into people with costumes that are fascinating to say the least.

As you can see from the outside of the Charlotte Convention Center with the Heroes Convention displayed across the Entrance of the building. There is a woman walking with a staff. A woman wears a purple cape that is interesting to say the least.

I saw someone where there was a rebel pilot’s uniform from Star Wars Universe. I saw the Ant-Eater creature that was in Episode IV of Star Wars. That is the first film that came out in 1977. Here are the dates for what happened in 2026, and it tells you the one that will happen in 2027.

There is an information booth where you can learn information for the event, and it was there last year as well.

There were several people in the pictures below I saw dressed as Superman which was cool and he reminded me of Henry Cavill Superman.

There was someone dressed as Spiderman which was cool to say the least.

Cyclops was there as well, and I talked to him as well as my brother Mark.

This young woman in the Superman shirt told me that I met that she liked the new Superman that came out in 2025. She told me the reason for that is that she liked how kind he was. That is true. The world could use more kindness and not all this hate that the world is seeing.

I met a man who wore the original movie image for Star Wars Episode IV who grew up the prequels. His shirt is cool, but his first movies were Star Wars prequels. When there is 49 years’ worth of content for Star Wars, this makes sense that people could have been introduced to the original trilogy, the prequels, or the sequel trilogy.

There was a guy who wore a Doctor Doom shirt, and he said that he had been disappointed by the Fantastic Four films. He just told me he would rather read the comics instead.

I met woman named Sarah who was dressed as Miss America. I first thought it was Captain America, but it was America Chavez. She told me that she liked her and I can understand that. I told her that I watched Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness. I told her America Chavez was good in that film and that it was the perfect follow-up to Spider-Man: No Way Home. She agreed with me on that, and we had a very nice conversation to say the least.

There was a woman who wore a Loki shirt and said the 2 seasons of Loki were excellent to say the least. She agreed with me when I told her about the Moon Knight series that they were good. Moon Knight only had one season so far on Disney+.

I met a guy named Gary who you can see right here in this picture who told me and my brother Mark about how the comics were written. Gary told us that his favorite Star Wars film is the Empire Strikes Back. That is not unusual as that tends to be a lot of people’s answers. I happen to like all 3 movies of the original trilogy as they all work as they connect the larger story to each other.

Gary told my brother and me that if Jack Kirby did not have an editor would be going crazy. Stan Lee helped him to polish his ideas. Steve Ditko was a guy who drew and created comics. He was recluse according to Gary and wanted to be left alone. He did one comic book convention back in 1964, and that was too much. He said no to that. He answered fan letters. He sounded like me in a nutshell. I sometimes have a hard time dealing with people. I do not hate people; I struggle with talking to people unless I have a role to play or something interesting to talk about. I can do it.

Gary told me what brought him back to the comics was in 1997 when DC comics killed Superman and had a comic series where Bane broke Batman’s back. As you are aware, I talked about how the Dark Knight rises, and you can click on this link to learn more. There was a scene in the film where the Dark Knight rises where it was in the tunnels under Gotham where Bane breaks Batman’s back. Please click this link to watch the video of that happening. Here is an image of Bane breaking Batman’s back, and you can click this link to watch a video on that.

Gary also told me that the characters do need to get older. It made sense that Dick Grayson would eventually become Night Wing. You could not expect him to run as Robin forever.

That makes sense. Peter Parker needs to get older. It would be cool to see an older Spider-Man. It is possible to do an older Spider-Man like Peter Parker having a family or dealing with suddenly being older.

I told my brother Mark that Marvel did have a comic where they killed Spider-Man off. Spider-Man was shot while taking a bullet for Captain America. I told him it was the sinister six that killed him and that was true as had to fight them wounded after being shot to protect Captain America. It drained him to say the least. Here are two videos that are on YouTube for you to watch that explain that. You can click this link here to watch the first part and this link to watch the second part. It will be in the description below to watch it if you are watching it on YouTube or listening to the audio. Thank you.

There was a guy dressed as The Rocketeer. If you are wandering, yes, The Rocketeer is a comic. It was done as a movie back in 1991. I loved the film, the idea of this guy stopping nazis was cool. I told him that I watched that film as a kid. He let me take his picture and I appreciated that. You can watch the movie on Disney+.

I met these guys who were dressed as video game characters. These guys are cool to say the least. The Left one is Halo and others I do not know. If you guys know, please let me know in the comments below. Thank you. My brother and I had very interesting conversations with them to say the least.

I met a woman who was dressed as Mysterio. She tells me that she loved Mysterio and that she liked the films Spider-Man: Far from Home and Spider-Man: No Way Home. She told my brother and I that she and her friend were meeting other people and that is cool.

The mystery machine and the ghostbuster car were back. I will have pictures come up for you to look at in this slide presentation. Thank you.

Thank you for being followers of my channel or my blog.

The rest of Remembering James Earl Jones and my analysis of his great Career

James Earl Jones is amazing as he had to overcome so much. He had a stutter like President Joe Biden does. Both men had to overcome so much. Once James Earl Jones overcame that, he became one of the best actors ever. In my mind, his best role is Darth Vader. His voice is golden and if he could do the voice, he should do it. It is amazing, if you compare his voice to A New Hope and the Obi Wan Kenobi series, it sounds the same. I will want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch the 2 clips that I found on YouTube as I do not want to risk a backlash. Here is the Scene for Star Wars: A New Hope where, Darth Vader will encounter the Millenium Falcon. If you are reading this on my blog, it is

The other clip is from the Obi Kenobi series where Darth Vader is fighting 3rd sister. It is

One of the other roles I enjoy, James Earl Jones is the Lion King. When he plays the voice of Mufasa, it is brilliant. Mufasa was the benevolent king of the Pride Land, and his brother Scar is jealous of him. Scar kills Mufasa because he wanted power. In both the remake and the original, there is no difference in this voice. You want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch a couple of clips that I found on YouTube to prove my point. Here is the clip from the 1994 version, it is

Here is a clip from the 2019 version, please watch below

One of the other roles that deserves mentioning is James Earl Jones playing James Greer. He is great at this role. In both Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, he shows how strong he is in this role. Especially in Clear and Present Danger, he tells Jack Ryan to watch Ritter like a hawk. You need to watch the movie to see that as I do not have access to a video or a photo on that. The link to the movie is here to click. I read one of the Tom Clancy books back in 2021 and that is the same Ritter we see in this movie. You can go to this link and read or listen to Without Remorse. You want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch the clip of James Greer in the White House situation room with Jack Ryan; it is

. You want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch the clip of Jack Ryan taking the oath to the people of the United States, it is

This scene is important because this will show what is the most important oath. It is to the people of the United States. Everything that happens now makes sense. With Donald Trump out there, we need a President that will stand up for the people of this great county. Remember, the President works for the American people. Jack Ryan who works for the CIA remembers from what James Greer tells him, you work for the American people.

One of the other roles that deserves mentioning is James Earl Jones playing Terrence Man who is a writer in the Field of Dreams. The scene at the baseball game where he claims he did not see what the character Ray Kinsella saw at the Botson Red Sox game. When Ray Kinsella is fixing to leave Boston, Terrence Man tells him that he saw it. You want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch the clip for you to watch. It is

One of the other roles that deserves mentioning is James Earl Jones playing in Sneakers. He will play Crease, and he is great in this role. He told one of the people that we are the U.S. Government, world peace is not our goal. The character Robert Redford played before told him, “I want my life back.” You want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch the clip. It is

One of the other roles that deserves mentioning is James Earl Jones playing in Coming to America. He is great in the original Coming to America and the sequel. He is great in these two movies. You want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch the couple of clips from both films for you to watch. From the first Coming to America, it is

From the second Coming to America, it is

The actors that worked with him like Mark Hamill and Kevin Costner love working with James Earl Jones. James Earl Jones was born in Arkabutla, Mississippi and moved to Michigan later to grow up. Like I mentioned before, he had to overcome a stutter before landing on Broadway. He played roles in plays such as King Lear and Driving Miss Daisy. Jon Favreau who worked with James Earl Jones said that when James Earl Jones asked him a question about what to do in the remake of the Lion King, he told him, do what you do. This is something that I read when I looked at it in USA Today. If I worked with James Earl Jones, I would have loved to work with him. It sounds like who was a good guy to have a good relationship with. The link to the USA Today article is https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2024/09/09/james-earl-jones-dead-star-wars-lion-king/75149628007/. I will read the article on the USA Today website.

If a person thought another person could do Darth Vader justice with the voice, I do not see anyone right now that could do the voice like James Earl James. I will give you an example of any actor who has been the voice of a popular character for a long time. My answer is Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime. I will play James Earl Jones voice playing Darth Vader and Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime to make my point. I will pull from a New Hope as Darth Vader and have you watch a clip James Earl Jones voice as Darth Vader from the Obi Wan Kenobi series. For Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, you will want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch two clips, one from the original 1986 Transformers movie based on the 1984 Transformers series, and the other from the recent film that came out last year which is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts that came out in 2023. I hope you enjoy watching those clips. I know I covered and talked about these clips before, but here they are and will be on my blog and my Patreon Page. Here is the Scene for Star Wars: A New Hope where, Darth Vader will encounter the Millenium Falcon. If you are reading this on my blog, it is

The other clip is from the Obi Kenobi series where Darth Vader is fighting 3rd sister. It is

Here is the clip with Peter Cullen playing Optimus Prime in the 1986 Transformers film based on the 1984 Transformers Cartoon, it is

Here is the other clip with Peter Cullen playing Optimus Prime in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, it is

Before I end this video and article, my recommendation for you to vote for Governor of NC is Josh Stein. Josh Stein is qualified to be Governor, and I am endorsing and voting for Josh Stein. Mark Robinson is not qualified as he wants to have a total abortion ban and slash public school funding. Anyone saying he or she wants to slash public school funding has no business to be Governor of NC as well as not having women have say about her own body and not having the Government telling her what to do. The current state of the Republican Party is about being big brother and interfering with our lives. I say no more to that. As I said before, vote for Democracy and decency. There is nothing decent about MAGA. Please vote blue up and down the ballot and make sure you vote early as well as you are registered. I will leave useful links in the description below to be sure you are registered and how you can help as well. Have the courage to stand up for this great county of the United States of America. Thank you.

In this episode of the Mattacritic and welcome to this live video presentation, I will be reviewing and reacting to the Apprentice Movie trailer that dropped on September 9, 2024. This is very critical they are doing this movie. When you have a person running for President of the United States of America promising to be a dictator, this is dangerous and unqualifying. I will play the trailer for you to watch. I will give you my analysis of the trailer after we watch it together.

My Review and Reaction and Analysis of the Apprentice Trailer

What we see when watching this trailer of the Apprentice, Donald Trump is going to an apartment in New York City telling a person he is there on the behalf of Roy Cohn. This movie takes place in the 1970’s people are dressing in the movie and that is what the cars and buildings look like. The person says, “Donald Who?” That is good. Donald Trump is being played in the movie by Sebastin Stan. Why does Sebastin Stan sound familiar? He should because he played the Winter Solider in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Here is a photo of Sebastin Stan playing the Winter Solider. If you are reading this on my blog, it is https://wegeekgirls.com/2014/03/13/16-minutes-of-behind-the-scenes-footage-from-captain-america-the-winter-soldier/

His real name is James Buchanan Barnes. The Winter Solider was manipulated by Hydra. Hydra means when you cut off one head two more heads grow back. Hydra had a manipulation of Hydra agents in the United States Government. Does that sound familiar? It should, the Russians infiltrated the United States Government by influencing elections and making sure Donald Trump got elected. The smart scientist was in a computer in Captain America: The Winter Solider influencing our society in that film. It is happening now, and it is sad.

Sebastin Stan looks like the younger version of Donald Trump. I will bring up an image of Donald Trump when he looks younger. This image is perfect as it compares Sebastin Stan playing Donald Trump, if you are reading this on my blog, it is https://images.app.goo.gl/ryjGbsKcJoB4X6Uv6. In the trailer, they make fun of Donald Trump’s ass. Roy Kohn says he has a big ass. If you see Donald Trump’s ass, he does have a big ass even today. His diet of fast food and he has done drugs is why this has happened to him.

In the trailer, Roy Cohn tells him there are rules. Before Roy Cohn tells him the rules, Donald Trump tells him, “You are ruthless”. The first rule is to attack, attack, attack. The second rule, admit nothing, deny everything. The third rule is to say; no matter what happens, you claim victory, and never admit defeat. Roy Cohn tells Donald Trump; you must do anything to anyone to win. His first wife Ivanna tells Donald Trump in the trailer, “Your face looks like an orange”.

At the end of the trailer, a reporter asks Donald Trump, what if you lost your fortune. I don’t know, maybe I will run for President. Earlier in the trailer, he saw the campaign slogan for Ronald Reagan where it said, Make America Great Again. He is a grifter. As it showed earlier in the trailer how he was inflating how big his buildings were. You see that now, how claims how big his crowds are and the day of 9/11/2001, he was bragging he has the biggest building after the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed after terrorists crashed two Seven Forty-Seven in the two buildings of the World Trade Center. That was a lie as it suddenly was the Empire State Building at the time. This guy is a horrible person, and this trailer showed it very well.

I will do a live video of remembering James Earl Jones and doing an analysis of his great acting career. As you all heard, he died on Monday, September 9, 2024. It was a great loss and in my mind; he will go down as one of the great actors of our time. I hope to have it on Monday September 16, 2024. You want to be on the lookout. I will post the read of his great career on my Patreon Page. You will need to sign up for Patreon to read it if you do not want to wait for the video. Thank you.

Before I finish this video and blog post, I would normally not do this. I will tell you who I am endorsing for President of the United States, I will be endorsing and voting for Kamala Harris. If you are reading this on my blog, the image of Kamala Harris is https://images.app.goo.gl/BGGpgpqgqEhkcjon6

Donald Trump is a horrible person who deserves never to be in the Oval Office ever again. I will not bring up any more images of Donald Trump as you can find his images on Google. I feel that you do not want to get sick and do not want to feel like you are going to puke. This is not about liberal or conservative or right or left. This must deal with right and wrong. As Taylor Swift said the night on the debate on September 10, 2024. If you are reading this on my blog, the image of Taylor Swift is https://www.teenvogue.com/story/taylor-swift-melbourne-eras-show-folklore-lonely to look at this photo.

I looked at the data between the two and made my choice. I have done the same thing. Both Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney are voting for Kamala Harris. The image for Liz Cheney is https://images.app.goo.gl/wXrdB1bFQbHPtqtw8 and for Dick Cheney is https://images.app.goo.gl/sLNx1yn51fpXQemT6 if you are reading this on my blog.

When Taylor Swift, Liz Cheney, and Dick Cheney are voting for Kamala Harris. You know this is bigger than any party affiliation you may have. Vote for Democracy, decency, and just have a person who is a good person to be in the Oval Office. I will be making my recommendations and endorsements in other races of this election in the year of 2024. The next one will be in a video post for the Governor of NC. Thank you.
