Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Sequel' bombs at the box office

Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power” failed to resonate with many viewers.

The movie, which focuses on climate change, earned about $1 million. "An Inconvenient Truth" made nearly $50 million at the box office.

Earlier this year, the anti-Hillary Clinton documentary, "Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party," by Dinesh D'Souza, raked in more than $13 million at the box office, according to Box Office Mojo. It was initially only released in three theaters.

Despite the "Inconvenient Sequel" setback, Gore has more plans for his follow up flick.

He will never forget this. Never. No matter who obsequious, no matter how low you grovel, it will always be in his head that you are conniving behind his back.

Because you are. He knows it, you know it, we all know it:

White House senior adviser Stephen Miller famously used the adjective “cosmopolitan” to insult CNN’s Jim Acosta during an exchange in the White House briefing room last week, implying that the journalist somehow bore an air of swampy elitism.

But wait, what’s that expression about people in glass houses?

It turns out that Miller calls home a nearly $1 million condo in CityCenter, one of Washington’s poshest addresses and a complex that proudly offers residents an upscale, urbane lifestyle. With high-end international retailers such as Hermès and Gucci on the street level alongside fancy Italian, Asian and French eateries, the building is billed as “the new ideal for sophisticated, modern, urban living.” Also in the marketing materials is the slogan: “You are where you live.”

Which would make Miller … well, pretty cosmopolitan, in a city that is arguably among the most cosmopolitan in the world.

Sessions: Sanctuary city Chicago's hostility to law-enforcement protection 'astounding'

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired back Monday at the lawsuit filed by the city of Chicago over the Justice Department’s threat to withhold federal money from so-called sanctuary cities, saying “no amount” of money will help a city that won’t help its own residents."

“This administration will not simply give away grant dollars to city governments that proudly violate the rule of law and protect criminal aliens at the expense of public safety,” Sessions concluded. “So it’s this simple: Comply with the law or forego taxpayer dollars.”

"To a degree perhaps unsurpassed by any other jurisdiction, the political leadership of Chicago has chosen deliberately and intentionally to adopt a policy that obstructs this country’s lawful immigration system,” Sessions said in a statement.

The attorney general called the “open hostility” against protecting law enforcement -- while protecting criminal aliens -- “astounding” given the influx of Chicago’s violence crime.

"Chicago will not be blackmailed into changing our values, and we are and will remain a welcoming city,” Emanuel said.

Pat Robertson Says ‘Totally Bogus’ Fox News Scandals Are The Result Of A Conspiracy To Destroy The Network

Robertson's extensive business interests have earned him a net worth estimated between $200 million and $1 billion.

In his White House briefing, Miller did not highlight the cultural impact of nonwhite immigration, although he suggested that criticism of the proposal betrayed “a cosmopolitan bias.”

I'm not sure cosmopolitan was the best choice of words. Xenophobic or racist would likely be what the Left would have used if a white Fox reporter made the same idiotic comment.

Acosta: This whole notion, they have to learn English before they get to the United States—are we just going to bring in people from Great Britain and Australia?

Miller: Jim, actually, I have to honestly say: I am shocked at your statement, that you think only people from Great Britain and Australia would know English. It reveals your cosmopolitan bias to a shocking degree, that in your mind—this is an amazing moment—that you think only people from Great Britain and Australia would speak English is so insulting to millions of hard-working immigrants from all over the world.
