On Tuesday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee held a hearing on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Former U.S. Central Command Commander General Kenneth McKenzie and former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair General Mark Milley both testified that there was a severe lack of coordination. Gen.

Obaid-Chinoy said that her goal as a filmmaker has been to “make men uncomfortable,” but aren’t most Star Wars fans just looking for an enjoyable two-hour movie? Is Disney destroying the Star Wars franchise?
