Tyler Perry’s The Gospel of Christmas review – Netflix unloads more slapdash festive fare

Incompetent direction almost kills the Christmas spirit but American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino Taylor brings down the house Thanksgiving is right around the corner, which means Christmas creep is in full effect and the floodgates holding back the seasonal tide of holiday movies have opened to fully drown yuletide junkies in cheer. Among the first out of the gates is Netflix’s The Gospel of Christmas, brought to you by the maker of A Madea Christmas. Instead of Tyler Perry in drag, reluctantly upholding the role of family linchpin, this time it’s Durrell Babbs – AKA the R&B stalwart Tank – playing Isaac, a secular musician who is forced into ministry when his pastor father charges him with resurrecting a sister congregation that’s become a blight in a New York neighborhood defined by immorality and anomie. ( East New York, maybe.) The 103-minute feature is both a ploy to horn in on Hallmark’s well-established territory and a proper return to Perry’s roots in gospel musical theater – but with considerably more money behind it and greater latitude to bend the usual chestnuts on faith and family toward his Old Testament-facing sermons.

Why does Pete Hegseth call himself secretary of war? ‘Dopey but dangerous’ wouldn’t fit on a badge | Emma Brockes

He has survived blame for the US midterms disaster and dodged an impeachment vote, but it will be one battle after another now – and he can’t win them all Like the brief, wondrous cycle of the mayfly, we may come to look back on the career of Pete Hegseth, the US secretary of defence who cheekily rebranded himself secretary of war , as the defining appointment of the Trump era: that is, one in which extraordinary power was handed to a man of cartoonish inappropriateness and which, despite this week’s shelved attempt to impeach him, may still turn out to have been luminously short-lived. In January, the Democrats will assume a majority in both chambers and are likely to have another crack at impeaching Hegseth. In the meantime, we can only look on and wonder at his meaning. It is quite something, in the context of Trump cabinet appointments that have included Robert F Kennedy Jr and Kristi Noem , to be the most glaringly underqualified person in the West Wing, but since being sworn in almost two years ago, Hegseth has comfortably seen off any rivals to his crown. This week, eight articles of impeachment, or “high crimes and misdemeanours” as the official rubric has it, were levied against him by Thomas Massie , an outgoing Republican congressman from Kentucky, who accused Hegseth of illegal acts including violating the constitution by conducting an unauthorised war with Iran and effecting regime change in Venezuela.

GOP branded ‘sinking ship’ as Republicans block efforts to impeach Hegseth – US politics live

Trump hails ‘exoneration of a Great American Patriot’ as moves against his defense secretary fail for now House Republicans block effort to impeach Hegseth Sign up for the US Breaking News email Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog. Republican representative Thomas Massie compared the GOP with passengers content to go down with the Titanic after colleagues thwarted his effort to impeach defense secretary Pete Hegseth. Congressman Jim Jordan, a Republican hardliner from Ohio, won the election to become the next House minority leader in Congress. Jordan beat Representative Steve Scalise , the current majority leader, by 106-73 in a closed-door vote to lead Republicans from January. He replaces the current House speaker, Mike Jonson, who said he would not run when the GOP cedes control to Democrats in the new year. Meanwhile, Republicans in the upper chamber, re-elected John Thune to serve as Senate minority leader in the next Congress. The GOP senator from North Dakota didn’t face a challenger in the closed-door vote, as Democrats prepare for at least a 10-seat majority in the new year. Nine members of the Kennedy family sued the Trump administration in an effort to block its construction of a 250-foot triumphal arch. The family’s complaint states that the arch, which is planned for near Arlington national cemetery, would obstruct the Kennedy gravesites, the JFK Eternal Flame and the sightlines of the cemetery, “permanently diminishing these memorials.” A federal judge has allowed Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the BBC to proceed. Trump is suing Britain’s publicly funded broadcaster for $10bn over an edited clip that made it appear that Trump told his supporters to storm the US Capitol on 6 January 2021. Continue reading...
