As the mercury rises during the height of summer Hallmark Channel gives fans a merry way to stay cool with its annual Christmas in July programming event. From Friday, June 26 – Friday, July 31, fans will be treated to a festive schedule of original movies from Christmases past to help them beat the summer heat. Beginning July 4, a new original movie will premiere every Saturday night for four consecutive weeks!

For a live Christmas special, they’re tasked with renovating a cozy New Hampshire cabin alongside a new duo, Cooper (Lissing) and Janice (Samantha Kendrick). But behind the festive cheer, Chelsea and Jake’s relationship is fading. As their latest project progresses, it becomes clear to Chelsea that she and Jake have different priorities in life and must decide if their relationship can be salvaged or if it’s time for a fresh start.

Cameron Mathison and Jill Wagner co-starred in A Merry Christmas Wish in 2022, and these fan-favorite actors are reuniting during Great American Christmas 2026 in a film executive produced by Candace Cameron Bure. Image: Great American Media What Is An Accidental Arctic Christmas About? An Accidental Arctic Christmas is about single dad, Jim (Mathison) and his spirited, science-minded 20-year-old daughter, Isla (Maya Rose Skabar), who share a tradition of alternating who decides how they spend Christmas each year. Jim, a former major league baseball player turned broadcaster, never misses hosting his annual Christmas Eve show from Times Square – until Isla persuades him to take a once-in-a-lifetime Arctic cruise, promising they will return in time for his broadcast. When a timing mix-up leaves them stranded in an arctic town after their ship departs without them, their carefully planned holiday quickly turns into an unforgettable adventure. With no planes, trains, or automobiles available, they must rely on wildlife conservationist Jane (Wagner) and her rugged tundra buggy to navigate the frozen wilderness. As they journey through the awe-inspiring Arctic – from the glow of the Aurora Borealis to the famed Polar Bear Capital of the World—Isla embraces the glory of nature, Jim wrestles with letting go of control, and Jane brings heart and charm to the path forward.

Great American Media   just announced the launch of The Golden Thread , a new genre of faith-driven storytelling centered on the ways everyday faith shapes the journey of life. This is exciting news for those who crave touching, inspirational movies that honor God and are watchable for the entire family! Image: Great American Media How Is The Golden Thread Different from Typical Faith-Based Movies? For generations, faith-based films have often focused on moments of hardship where belief suddenly appears during times of crisis. While those stories reflect an important part of human experience, The Golden Thread introduces a different kind of storytelling, where faith is a staple throughout the entire arc of life. The Golden Thread Defines Great American Media's Vision            More than a programming label or seasonal collection, The Golden Thread  represents a defining creative vision for Great American Media. These stories highlight how faith is present not only in life’s most difficult moments, but also in the small decisions, relationships, and acts of service that shape who we become. Like a thread woven through fabric, faith connects moments of joy, challenge, hope, and renewal. The Golden Thread reflects the belief that faith is often experienced in ordinary moments, guiding purpose and strengthening community along the way. Great American Media CEO, Bill Abbott, Weighs In “At Great American Media, we believe faith is not something that appears only in moments of crisis,” said Bill Abbott , President and CEO of Great American Media. “The Golden Thread reflects the reality that faith is part of the entire journey of life. It’s present in the joyful moments, the difficult seasons, and the everyday experiences in between. These stories will entertain while demonstrating that faith is the very fabric of our lives, and is woven throughout life’s journey, guiding decisions, relationships, and purpose along the way.”            The First Movie to Premiere Under The Golden Thread Banner Will Be... Blessings in Disguise , starring Shae Robins  ( A Christmas Prayer , Destined at Christmas ) and Casey Elliott  ( Destined at Christmas , Destined at Christmas Once More ), will premiere on Great American Family on March 28, 2026, and it's the first in what will hopefully be a long line of movies under The Golden Thread banner. In Blessings in Disguise , Robins portrays a talented fashion designer who thoughtfully stitches a line of scripture into every garment she creates, believing the wearer may receive more than beautiful clothing. Elliott plays a gifted woodworker who hopes to use his craft in service to others. When their paths cross, both discover that small acts of faith can lead to unexpected blessings, renewed purpose, and meaningful connection. Great American Media Is Unwavering in Its Commitment to Meaningful Entertainment Just as Christmas movies grew into a beloved genre of television storytelling, The Golden Thread introduces a new storytelling tradition centered on the everyday presence of faith .   While the genre is just now being formally introduced, the spirit of Golden Thread storytelling has already appeared in several Great American Media films, beginning with the 2022 original The Christmas…Present , starring and executive produced by Candace Cameron Bure . The film’s message, that faith quietly shapes the choices we make and the lives we touch, captured the essence of what Great American Media now defines as The Golden Thread storytelling. Image: Great American Media Through The Golden Thread , Great American Media continues its commitment to meaningful entertainment that celebrates and honors faith, family, and country.

Hallmark stars Sarah Drew , Nikki DeLoach , and Galadriel Stineman shatter their girl-next-door images and create a blight on the Hallmark brand by leveraging their social media platforms for political activism. Movie watchers who turn to Hallmark for an escape from reality (we get enough of that every day) are weary of tirades from clueless celebrities pushing falsehoods. Actors should stay in their lane and off the soap box. Sarah Drew Opposes Law & Order in Social Media Rants On January 27, Sarah Drew posted a political rant on Instagram, urging viewers to call their U.S. senators to defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Drew turned off commenting after stating, "I won't turn my platform into a place where people are screaming at each other." Her statement is an admission that her words would NOT be well-received, and turning off commenting insulated her from patriots pushing back on her uniformed and emotional tirade. This is typical, elitist mentality from the Left--push ideology on followers and shut down debate so they don't have to deal with inconvenient facts . Image: Sarah Drew's Instagram. Thanks for the phone number. We've been calling our senators and representatives daily to make sure they continue to support ICE and DHS. In a second chaotic Instagram reel from January 30, a crazy-eyed Drew psycho babbled, "The democracy is falling, and reporters are getting arrested, and children are getting kidnapped and put in concentration camps" before bursting into song with, "This is the reality of our world now!" Drew continues to overload her stories with left-wing, anti-Christian propaganda while deluding herself into thinking that she's on the side of righteousness. Patriots watching her feed no doubt feel second-hand embarrassment listening to Drew parrot talking points from the anti-American communists on the Left without vetting the information first. Oh, well, it's not like she has 3.9 million followers, so who will ever know that she is spreading fake news? Image: Sarah Drew's Instagram. Someone please get her help at 1-800-PSYCHO. Democracy is NOT falling, Sarah. It's being re-established. Democracy eroded under Barack Hussein Obama when his administration used the Russia-gate hoax to spy on Trump's campaign. Hillary Clinton and the DNC colluded in pushing the fake Steele dossier to apply for surveillance warrants against their political opposition. Plus, while Clinton was Secretary of State, senior officials in the Obama administration halted investigation into her corrupt pay-to-play schemes involving the Clinton Foundation. The Democrats impeached Trump twice in an attempt to overthrow a duly elected president--THAT was democracy in decline! Democracy took a historic nosedive under the Biden administration as multiple government agencies, such as the IRS, DOJ, FBI, and CDC were weaponized against the American people. Not only were false claims continuously brought against President Trump (all later debunked), but real criminals ran free while Christians, pro-lifers, and conservatives were targeted. Sarah Drew posted this attack against Christians in her Instagram stories. Persecution against Christians escalated under the Obama and Biden administrations as these regimes sought to replace God with government. Trump has taken action to protect religious liberty and oppose anti-Christian bias. Parents who spoke out against school boards for allowing DEI, CRT, and the LGBTQ agenda to overwhelm the curriculum in place of the 3-Rs were labeled "domestic terrorists." Parents revolted when Pride flags were raised in classrooms, children were asked by teachers for their "pronouns," sexualized content was added to elementary libraries, drag queen story hour was introduced, children were given puberty blockers and gender mutilation surgeries in the name of "gender-affirming care," and legislation was introduced to allow students to be socially transitioned without parental consent. In some instances, people who refused play along with the delusion that more than two genders existed lost their jobs for refusing to call mentally ill people by their "preferred pronouns." By the way, Drew includes she/her pronouns in her Instagram bio while simultaneously posting scriptures in her stories--the ultimate hypocrisy . There is no ambiguity in scripture on this topic--God created two genders, you don't get to pick them, and homosexuality is condemned as sin that separates the unrepentant from God for all eternity. The Left always attempts to shoe-horn scripture to fit their narrative while rejecting the parts they don't like. The TSA Quiet Skies program, an unconstitutional and dystopian front masquerading as a security tool, targeted veterans and lawmakers who spoke out against Biden and Kamala Harris along with citizens who protested mask mandates. The Democrats used COVID to further their authoritarian power grab. While the Left called abortion "reproductive freedom" and chanted, "My body my choice," anyone refusing the COVID shot was demonized, with some even losing their jobs for refusing the jab. Democrats shut down schools, churches, and businesses in the name of "safety," and it took a massive toll on society. Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz, enacted a curfew, and anyone caught on their porches or standing in their doorways was shot with paintballs by police. Where were you, Sarah, when that was happening? The Biden administration waged war on free speech comparable to "The Ministry of Truth" in George Orwell's novel 1984 . The censorship by Big Tech and other outlets was staggering. Anyone who dared push back against the Biden regime's Orwellian practices were called fascists, Nazis, deplorables, Hitler and deplatformed for spreading "misinformation" --dangerous rhetoric that fomented so much hatred that two attempts were made on Trump's life, Charlie Kirk was martyred, and violence against conservatives erupted on college campuses and in blue cities, proving the real fascists have been on the Left all along. The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability uncovered Biden's abuse of public office via corrupt influence peddling schemes that enriched his family, which is why, in the final hours of his presidency, Biden granted blanket pardons to his family. Massive voter fraud accounted for Biden's 2020 "win," and the Left used COVID and the staged January 6 theater to cover their cheating. (What is currently transpiring in Minneapolis is an actual insurrection). This is why Democrats oppose election integrity --it makes it harder for them to cheat. When the 2024 presidential debate confirmed what we knew all along--that Biden was a demented puppet who couldn't express a coherent thought--Democrats INSTALLED Kamala Harris as the nominee without offering voters a special primary to make their selection in what pundits called a "soft coup." Biden opened our borders and incentivized illegal entry . Not because Democrats care about humanity. The sole purpose is to seize power . By importing massive numbers of illegals, Democrats gain an advantage with the census head count, which affects their congressional apportionments and electoral college votes. Their ultimate goal is to award amnesty to illegals , who typically vote Democrat, so that their party can hold control forever and advance their communist agenda while snuffing out any resistance. When a load of illegals was dumped in Martha's Vineyard, the elitists couldn't get rid of them fast enough, proving they are mere pawns . With the immigration crisis created by the Biden-Harris regime (US entry of an estimated 20-30 million unvetted illegals), women and young children were trafficked across the border by violent smugglers, and drug cartels extorted, abused, and sometimes killed them. Deadly drugs like fentanyl surged into the US. Biden LOST over 300K children who crossed the border illegally. Because of Biden's policies, Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and Jocelyn Nungaray were brutally murdered while violent criminals, gang members, and terrorists remained loose in our neighborhoods. To this day, no one knows who actually was running the country while Biden was president. His administration was a clown show of incompetent, "woke" DEI hires, including men pretending to be women, and someone used the auto pen liberally without Biden being cognizant of it. America lost respect and standing on the world stage, and our enemies capitalized on it. Where was your voice then, Sarah? Books could be written about the gross incompetence of the Biden Administration and the vileness of the Democratic Party--a party that is no longer comprised of classic liberals but of communist radicals who push an evil agenda that is anti-thetical to the American values of Christianity, patriotism, family, and the freedoms enshrined in the Constitution. It's why Democrats target Christians so much--we trust in God, not government, and they hate it. President Trump's administration is draining the Washington swamp , re-establishing us as one nation under God, dismantling corruption, and restoring America to greatness. Thanks to Trump's immigration crackdown , Illegal border crossings have dropped 99%, murder rates have dropped to the lowest they've been since 1900, and 56% less fentanyl is pouring through our southern border. Trump is THE most consequential president in modern history with accomplishments too vast to list, but you can find them here . The devil is mad, and it's why chaos is breaking out in blue states and cities--these areas are Satan's playground. Drew's comment that "reporters are getting arrested" refers to the violent mob that stormed a Minnesota church that included a handful of journalists, most notably, Don Lemon . These so-called "journalists" violated the FACE Act that includes protections for people inside of places of worship who are exercising their right to religious freedom. Lemon withheld the fact that he had been involved in the planning of the protest. Lemon and others stood menacingly close to the pastor in an attempt to oppress and intimidate him while obstructing his movement. Lemon confronted other congregants and physically obstructed them from departing. Church members are STILL being harassed and heckled by the wicked leftist minions! Sarah, if you can't see that storming God's house to intimidate His people who are trying to worship freely is wrong, you are blinded by Satan. Meanwhile, the Left is employing the usual tactics to destroy Nick Shirley , the independent journalist who exposed Somali fraud in Minnesota, for speaking the truth because he's a conservative. The Left only cares about journalists when they are propaganda tools for their party. Comparing Trump's crackdown on immigration to "concentration camps" is a wildly inaccurate and baseless claim that Drew regurgitates, and it's an affront to anyone with ties to Holocaust victims. Drew's ignorance of history is astonishing. During the Holocaust, mothers and children were separated in concentration camps and on trains. When mothers are deported, they may take their children with them. There is no comparison. Immigrants are not gassed in chambers, baked in ovens, forced to drink their own urine, or endure any of the atrocities Jews suffered. Drew then implicated another Hallmark celebrity in her outlandish claims. She wrote, "Was just texting with my dear sister friend @nikdeloach [Nikki DeLoach] about all of this and she reminded me that joy is resistance. Continuing to do the things of life that feel normal and that bring us deep joy and laughter and celebration in the face of people in power doing deadly and evil things --this commitment to joy is resistance itself. " The only people doing deadly and evil things are the agitators and insurrectionists in blue cities . You never see anyone on the Right burning down businesses, looting, attacking police, menacing church goers, harboring law breakers, and assassinating the opposition. We just turn out on election day , and according to the latest two polls , there is overwhelming support for Trump's deportation agenda. The reason tensions reached a fever-pitch in Minnesota is due to sanctuary city politicians refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement. Now that DHS and Tom Homan have persuaded local officials to work with the Trump administration instead of against them, speedy arrests can be made at the jail rather than in communities. As a result, the number of ICE agents required for the job can be reduced. Drew then vows to pray for something "beautiful to happen" to anyone reading. Something beautiful IS happening. Trump is Making America Great Again! Thanks for your prayers. Quote scripture though she may, Drew's political stance isn't biblical. Where was she during the Biden years when people in power actually were doing evil things? Nothing Drew claims is accurate, she's on the wrong side of history, and her lack of discernment testifies that she is NOT cognizant of how God is moving in America, giving us a chance to return to Him and experience revival . The crash course America was on during the Obama and Biden years was paving the way to God's judgment . Nikki DeLoach's Big Heart Gets in the Way of Facts Reaching Her Brain Nikki DeLoach is a beloved Hallmark movie icon who is known for her loving and compassionate nature. She's a devoted advocate for Alzheimer's awareness and serves as a trustee on the Board at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Those who meet her at Hallmark events describe her as a "beautiful soul," making her uniformed and flawed commentary all the more disappointing. Image: Nikki DeLoach's Instagram Deloach piggy-backed onto Drew's post, affirming, " Love you so much, sister. Joy is resistance. Celebration is resistance. Love is resistance. Grateful I get to experience it all with you ❤️🔥" The only thing DeLoach is resisting is law and order. DeLoach shared two separate posts in her Instagram stories that featured Liam Conejo Ramos , buying into the false narrative that ICE is abusing children. Image from Nikki DeLoach's Instagram stories Liam's father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias was in the US illegally after the Biden administration released him into the country, with no record of CBP One app entry, as the family's attorney claimed. ICE agents approached the father, and the father ran and left his son in the frigid temperatures. The officers stayed with Liam and repeatedly tried to hand him to his mother, WHO REFUSED TO OPEN THE DOOR AND TAKE HIM BACK. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, "officers even assured her [Liam's mother] she would not be taken her into custody," but "the alleged mother refused to accept custody of the child. The father told officers he wanted the child to remain with him." DHS released a statement on X stating, "Following the mother’s abandonment of the child , officers abided by the father’s wishes to keep the child with him." The officers stayed with the boy, bought him McDonald's, and took care of him. Liam's family saw the young boy outside in arctic temperatures, and they refused to open the door and take him back. ICE officers did more for the boy than his own family! Here's what a horrible father looks like. An illegal runs from ICE. abandoning his son in arctic temperatures while the child's mother refuses to open the door and let her son inside, despite ICE's assurance that she wouldn't be deported. Corrupt Democrat politicians in Minnesota, like Ilhan Omar and Tim Walz (both of whom are implicated in rampant state fraud ) tried to spin the story to say that Liam was "kidnapped" and "arrested" coming home from preschool. Nothing could be further from the truth. DeLoach is pointing her finger at the wrong people. It's the PARENTS of illegal minors who are to blame for the predicaments in which they place their children. Anyone who wants to live in the USA should go through the process to come here LEGALLY. When would-be migrants deliberately choose to endanger their families by breaking US immigration law, they have no one to blame but themselves for the consequences. Even Obama's DHS secretary, Jeh C. Johnson, warned Central Americans of the dangers in a 2014 open letter, writing, " In the hands of smugglers, many children are traumatized and psychologically abused by their journey, or worse, beaten, starved, sexually assaulted or sold into the sex trade. … The desire to see a child have a better life in the United States is understandable. But, the risks of illegal migration by an unaccompanied child to achieve that dream are far too great.” Imagine knowing this and still risking your child's life! Another inconvenient fact: Obama deported more illegals than Trump, and there were ZERO protests. In fact, Obama awarded Tom Homan, current border czar, the Presidential Rank Award in 2015 for his deportation efforts! Jezebel herself, Hillary Clinton, admitted in 2014 during a CNN interview that immigration laws should be followed, " We have so to send a clear message, just because your child gets across the border, that doesn't mean the child gets to stay. So, we don't want to send a message that is contrary to our laws or will encourage more children to make that dangerous journey." On one hand, DeLoach claims to be a Christian who reads the Bible regularly. On the other, she admits that she has been able to see spirits and "ghosts" ever since she was a child, and she engages with the spirit beings she encounters, even when they aren't friendly and from the "other side." The Bible is very clear that we are NOT to entertain demonic spirits but to rebuke them in Jesus' name. How can she read her bible and not know this? She destroys her credibility. DeLoach has openly shared about her experience with sexual abuse as a child, so she should be directing her criticisms to the illegal immigrant parents who knowingly put their children in harm's way. DeLoach is not filtering her politics through truth. Her heart might be in the right place, but her mouth isn't. Galadriel Stineman Invokes Biblical Authority and Then Defies It You might be wondering, "Who's Galadriel Stineman ?" She has only headlined one Hallmark movie (Follow Your Heart ) and, more recently, a faith-infused Amish mystery series on UPtv. On June 14, 2025, Stineman proudly participated in a "No Kings Day" protest, an event organized by radical ideologues pretending Trump is an authoritarian when, in reality, they are having a hissy fit that Trump is working hard for the American people to reverse the unpopular policies that have brought the Democratic Party to all-time low favorability ratings. Lowering inflation and unemployment rates, growing wages, eliminating wasteful spending, reducing the national debt, deporting criminal invaders, exposing government fraud and corruption, supporting Israel, keeping men out of women's sports, eliminating mandates that dictate the car you drive the dishwasher you can buy, making streets safer, restoring free speech, protecting religious liberty--hardly the accomplishments of an authoritarian king. Stineman posted that it was easy for her to say she wasn't "political" or "religious." Well, THAT is crystal clear. If she researched her politics, she would see how absurd a No Kings protest is, and if she knew Jesus, she would understand how effortlessly the devil duped her! She had to turn to a pastor for scripture ideas, which means she has no understanding of the Word but is only interested in cherry-picking a few passages for Instagram posts. Image: Stineman's Instagram On January 30, Stineman tried to manipulate scripture by posting a reference to the second commandment before proceeding to justify lawlessness . She wrote, "We will NOT become a country our forefathers would have fled from. We will NOT become the bad guys the Bible warned about." Our forefathers established the Constitution to maintain a small government run by the people, and their biblical principles influenced how they structured it. This is the polar opposite of the Democratic party's platform. Under Biden, the federal bureaucracy surged to historic highs while religious liberty eroded. Here are a few things the bible warns followers about in the last days: Isaiah 5:20: Woe to those who call evil good and good evil. Who put darkness for light and light for darkness. This is what Stineman is doing. She is calling criminal invaders the good guys and those who enforce the law the bad guys. It's reminiscent of the predicament Pontius Pilot, governor of Judea, found himself in when Jewish custom dictated he release a prisoner at the Passover. Though he repeatedly pronounced Jesus' innocence, he feared a riot if he didn't cave to the priestly elite's demand to release Barabbas instead. Barabbas, mind you, was a robber, murderer, and insurrectionist--and the people defended HIM instead of Jesus! Sound familiar? 2 Timothy 3: 1-9 lays out how we can expect people to act in the last days before Christ's return. The list refers to those who are "despisers of good," who "resist the truth" due to their "corrupt minds," those who are "traitors," and those who " have a form of godliness but deny its power." The bible warns to turn away from such people. Stineman, DeLoach, and Drew ignore the facts because their minds are deceived, advocating for lawlessness makes them traitors, and they quote scripture like they know God and then do the opposite of what it says--they have a "form of godliness" but ignore the authority God. Matthew 24:12 says of the last days, "And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold." This signifies there will be widespread increase in moral decay, wickedness, and disregard of God's laws, leading to societal breakdown characterized by selfishness, rebellion against authority, and escalating sin. The Left is practically embodying the anti-Christ at this very moment! More chilling for people like Stineman who parrot choice biblical passages to further their agenda (just like Satan did when he temped Jesus in the wilderness) is Matthew 7:21-23: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness ." You know someone by their "fruit," and Stineman's fruit is ROTTEN. Stineman makes a sad attempt to claim the moral high ground when she calls for "due process" and implores ICE to stop "kidnapping my neighbors" and "killing my brothers and sisters." Illegals ARE given due process. Immigration judges issue deportation orders after determining that a noncitizen is removable from the US. The orders become final if the individual doesn't appeal the decision. ICE isn't seizing people willy-nilly. There is also a simple solution to keeping illegals and protestors safe from being shot--stop breaking the law and resisting arrest, and protest peacefully rather than rioting and attacking ICE officers. This Instagram post from Stineman brings to mind a quote from Senator John Kennedy: "Life's hard. It's even harder when you're stupid." After apparently receiving pushback on her cringy and uniformed social media posts, Stineman doubled down on her anti-American rhetoric with the above photo. It's filled with all the woke DEI diatribes and phony virtue signaling about her willingness to sacrifice her career for the cause. What a martyr. Notice how she's "inclusive" of homosexuality because it's a common practice for those on the Left to embrace what God says He hates (sin). The irony is that Stineman and her husband, Kevin Joy, film their Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries series in Sugarcreek, Ohio, and areas of surrounding Holmes County--a vibrant Amish community that would not take kindly to Stineman's anti-biblical and anti-American stance. While Amish are generally pacifists who avoid politics, an unprecedented number registered to vote to help elect President Trump. When the Amish vote, you know how evil the Left has become! If word spreads in the Amish community about Stineman's revolt against law and order and her unbiblical viewpoints, it would be a shame if she found herself shunned ! No One Wants Political Rampages from Celebrities Illegals are always compared to the immigrants who helped build our American society. They are NOT the same. Immigrants gratefully arrived in America ready to work hard, contribute to society, and assimilate. They were proud to be called Americans. Today, illegals sneak into the country, raise their country's flag, drain entitlements, commit violent crimes, and refuse to assimilate. Mass importing people who do not share our national values and who refuse to adopt our culture mores will only destroy Western civilization, not enrich it. As Charlie Kirk wisely stated, "Immigration without assimilation is an invasion." When celebrities like Sarah Drew, Nikki DeLoach, and Galadriel Stineman show their true colors by supporting illegals and anarchists, they aren't only encouraging the lawlessness the bible warns about, they become marionettes on the strings of our enemies who are funding protestors and riots. George Soros bankrolls many of the uprisings in America, but the Minnesota unrest has been traced to a man tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I hope Hallmark and UPtv are taking notice because the ravings of these women are damaging to their brands. People watch movies to tune out the real world after grappling with it all day. The last thing they want to learn is that their favorite stars suck in real life. Kamala Harris's disastrous presidential campaign should serve as a stark warning that political commentary from celebrities is largely ignored. Harris invested millions to secure celebrity endorsements, and she was backed by big names like Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio and more. Even Taylor Swift couldn't rally the Swifties to jump on the Harris bandwagon. Harris spent over a billion dollars on her campaign and suffered the most humiliating and crushing defeat of all time. If celebrities have zero impact on public opinion, why even mention Drew, DeLoach, and Stineman in an article? Because they are traitors , and you should know that so you can decide if you want to support their movies, buy from their brands, and follow them on social media. The "Budweiser treatment" is also an option.

As Derby Day approaches, Sadie meets Ash Taylor (Walker), the son of Churchill Downs’ CEO (Henry), who’s been asked to do an emergency repair on the iconic Twin Spires after a storm left one damaged. Both Sadie and Ash feel the weight of family legacy and the desire to carve out their own paths.
