Un film cu patru Oscaruri: pentru cel mai bun film, cea mai bună regie, cel mai bun scenariu adaptat după romanul lui Cormac McCarthy și cea mai bună interpretare în rol secundar de Javier Bardem. Este un film foarte aproape de realitate, cu un casting surprinzător și cu o serie de personaje foarte bine dezvoltate.

President Trump's campaign ended July with $120 million, about three times more than the roughly $39 million it reported at this point in 2016. This doesn't cost Trump's campaign anything but helps get his message to voters. In addition to the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee and several pro-Trump super PACs have planned heavy spending before Election Day. The Trump campaign ended July with more than $120 million, compared with about $99 million for Biden. Some areas of Trump campaign spending have even dropped from 2016 to 2020.

☆ Overlooked No More: Roland Johnson, Who Fought to Shut Down Institutions for the Disabled

Roland Johnson was born in Philadelphia on Sept. 14, 1945, to Grace and Roy Johnson. But Roland’s parents refused to do that and tried to raise him at home. In his book, Johnson describes himself as having had an insatiable appetite and a penchant for stealing food from stores and running away. His mother, he wrote, “didn’t know how to handle me.”To punish him, he said, she’d first heat a knife on a stove. My mother tried but she couldn’t take it anymore.”
