The Duke.
Duke Wayne died on this date in 1979, 44 years ago.
“Talk low," he said, "talk slow, and don't say too much.”
A man's man:
"I want to play a real man in all my films, and I define manhood simply: men should be tough, fair and courageous, never petty, never looking for a fight, but never backing down from one either."
He dominated cinema by innately knowing what was in American hearts:
God Bless John Wayne.
God Bless America.

Such a great tribute to one of the cinema’s greatest action heroes!
I loved the Duke! Big Jake, McClintock, Chisum, True Grit. Too many to mention but I’ll take break and watch any John Wayne movie.
Did you know John Wayne received the Best Actor Oscar for “True Grit”?
America and John Wayne used to teach masculinity, but in the early 70s the left and feminists started portraying American men as “macho”, and then immigration kicked in and we started importing millions of men not from the school of quiet masculinity, both gentle and strong, intelligent and thinking, brave and calm, but from “macho” cultures displaying the worst of the overt rooster type annoying, even fake male posturing and violent impulses, loud, brash, hiding fear with BS, lashing out, quick to anger and displays of power over the weak.
The Duke was a man. The bidens are the opposite of men. That is not women, that would be an insult. The bidens and the deep state are worse than prostitutes. Male prostitutes transmitting societal AIDS every which way.
Indeed.
You just described Arnold Schwarzenegger perfectly.
Wasn’t that his only one?
I may be thinking of someone else.
Once bought a 6’ canvas of him in ‘Hondo’. Visitors were more impressed with that than the ones of Marilyn Monroe.
Sigma Chi.
John Wayne beat out Jon Voight for best actor (Midnight Cowboy)and Barbara Streisand read the card and had to hand him the Oscar, which means she probably deserved an Oscar for pulling off that performance.

His finest movie was Marshall Rooster Cogburn with Katy Hepburn.
I can only imagine John Wayne’s reaction to Target and their tuck-friendly swimwear. That would be even better than “dial 1 for English”.
We saw the John Wayne museum in Fort Worth. It was phenominal, and I highly recommend it.
I once watched “The Sands of Iwo Jima” with my father, who was a WWII Marine veteran. He had fought on Guam and Okinawa but not Iwo Jima. He thought the movie was realistic.
He became a top rated movie star but never seem to forget the US made that possible and that the US was the greatest country in the world. Today’s Hollywood stars, top pro athletes and social media billionaires after they make a fortune appear to turn against the country that made their fortune possible.
Such a loss of a great actor and patriotic American.
