President Donald Trump has gone increasingly public with his faith, even mentioning the left's dreaded J-word — Jesus — for all the world to hear. This is good for all of America because when there's a White House that recognizes and respects the Christian founding of the country, the concept of God-given rights and liberties shines brightly. But it's not just in the political circles that Christianity is coming alive. The culture — the world of entertainment — is striking back at the darkness and evil that's crept into movies, into games, into videos over the years. Bill Abbott, CEO of Great American Media, talks about the more godly times we're seeing in America.
On today's program: Mark Harris, U.S. Representative for North Carolina's 8th District, explains a rare weapon the president is using to roll back spending and comments on the closure of the State Department's office of disinformation. Bill

Bill Abbott, President and CEO of Great American Media, joins the Moms for America Podcast to discuss his company's vision for family-friendly television. Bill worked for years to develop the Hallmark Channel into a network of wholesome, patriotic shows and made-for-TV movies. As so much of corporate America has gone woke and abandoned the values of everyday Americans, Hallmark abandoned its original vision. That's when Bill founded Great American Media to offer the classic, family-friendly television and streaming that we love. Like, subscribe and share.

After only a few years, Great American Media has made a noticeable splash. Their Great American Family Channel is one of the fastest growing TV networks. And there's a good reason. They focus on “quality star appeal” and giving “viewers an alternative and a place to go,” that offers relief from shows on other networks that “are uncomfortable and very difficult to watch,” explains CEO Bill Abbott.
The Lady Hosts on MSNBC laughed and mocked Virginia voters who said illegal immigration was their top concern. The family of a 14-year-old Virginia girl who was sexually assaulted by an illegal is not laughing. Gov. Mike Huckabee, Jeffrey Lord, Rep. Mike Collins, Monica Crowley, and Bill Abbott join the conversation!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've been listening to Girls Gone Hallmark for a while, you'll know that Wendy was not a fan of "A New Year's Resolution" from 2021. But hold onto your popcorn, because now, after watching nearly 200 Hallmark Channel flicks, Megan and Wendy decided to give this movie another chance. Could it be that the tides have turned, and "A New Year's Resolution" is actually not that bad after all? Time to find out! Tell us what your favorite Countdown to Christmas movie from 2023! Email us at meganandwendy@gmail.com and be sure to check out the 2nd Annual Girls Gone Hallmark Best Christmas Movie bracket beginning on January 6, 2024 exclusively on our Instagram.

About "A New Year's Resolution" The movie was originally titled “New Year, New Me.” Filming locations included Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and St. Ambroise Beach Provincial Park in Canada. It was reportedly filmed in October and November 2019. Aimee Teegarden plays Kelly. She currently has 38 acting credits according to IMDB. Aimee is probably most known as angsty Texas teenager Julie Taylor from “Friday Night Lights.” Since the conclusion of FNL she went on to star in “Once Upon a Christmas Miracle,” “My Christmas Family Tree,” “Heart of the Matter,” “Autumn in the City,” and “Christmas Class Reunion” for Hallmark Channel. Michael Rady plays Tom. He currently has 55 acting credits. We most recently saw Michael in this “Where Are You, Christmas?” Other Hallmark movies of his include: “Unexpected Grace,” “The Christmas Bow,” “You're Bacon Me Crazy” as well as fan-favorite “Love to the Rescue.” Kelly's friend group was played by Elise Bauman (AJ), Patricia Issac (Lisa) and Devon Alexander (Jackson). Devon Alexander is one of those faces that shows up a lot in our Hallmark movies yet he's never had a lead role. We last saw him in “Love in Glacier National,” “Where Your Heart Belongs,” “The Santa Stakeout” and “Chasing Waterfalls.” Sarah Montana is the writer of the movie. Most recently she wrote “Rescuing Christmas” which premiered exclusively on HMN on Dec 7th. She's also previously penned “If I Only Had Christmas,” “Two Turtle Doves,” and “Love to the Rescue.” Lesley Demetriades directed. She has 11 directing credits, but only one since this movie and it was the CCB movie “A Christmas…Present” for GAF. Why Was "A New Year's Resolution" Pulled From the Hallmark Schedule - A New Year's Resolution was to air originally on December 28, 2019 as part of that year's Countdown to Christmas. However, on December 16, 2019 a tweet from @HotlineHallmark revealed that the movie had been pulled from the schedule. A few articles I found didn't have many details as why the movie was pulled. Coincidence or not, but the movie's producer Kevin Duda also had another movie pulled from the Hallmark schedule earlier that year. A recent conversation with some peers in the industry mentioned that this movie was pulled because Bill Abbott - the head of Hallmark at the time - simply didn't like the movie.

The “stripping amendment” from Rep. Raney, putative Republican, was nothing but a prop-up of the Left-leaning and overspending government school lobby. It passed to kill school choice 84 to 63.

These two have written a lot for Hallmark Channel including “Love Strikes Twice,” “You Had me at Aloha,” several episodes of “When Calls the Heart.” In 2020, they had written their 30th movie for Hallmark called “The Christmas Doctor” starring Holly Robinson Peete. Fun fact: In 2021 they co-wrote the first original holiday movie for Peacock along with their son Spyder Dobrofsky. It was called “The Real Housewives of the North Pole” and starred Kyle Richards. There hasn't been anything new from the Dobrofskys since then. Related: Listen to our review of "Love on the Air" Stars Hilarie Burton (Josie) who is probably best known as playing Peyton Sawyer on One Tree Hill. Previous Hallmark movies include: "Summer Villa" and "Naughty or Nice." Back in 2019 it's reported that Burton was “let go” from a Hallmark movie after she made requests for a more diverse cast. She was very outspoken about the bigotry from then head Bill Abbott. With all that said, we haven't seen Burton in a Hallmark joint since 2016. Paul Campbell (Gridley). Last seen in "The Cases of Mystery Lane" and last year's "Three Wise Men and a Baby." Tim Conway played Josie's grandfather. Conway passed in 2017.

Marvin and Rebecca's first two flights of the day were cancelled due to high winds at Newark so they both waited in the crew room until their company dispatch released them for flight 3407 at 6pm, 4 and a half hours after their initial report time. Certainly for Rebecca, it had been a long time since she had done more than nap in a chair. Their flight to Buffalo was due to take 53 minutes and they were carrying 45 passengers which, along with their two cabin attendants meant that they had 49 souls onboard their Q400 aircraft. The pilots' performance was likely impaired because of fatigue but to what extent could not be conclusively determined. However, they boiled down to the flight crew's failure to monitor airspeed, the flight crew's failure to adhere to sterile cockpit procedures, the Captain's failure to effectively manage the flight and Colgan Air's inadequate procedures for airspeed selection, management during approaches in icing conditions and training. This is the story of Colgan Air Flight 3407.

Not Well: Gay Podcast / Comedy In this episode, we're talking about a variety of topics including Donald Trump, Candace Cameron Bure, Soaking, Bagels, Grindr, Bear face, Conservative Dating App (The Right Stuff), Church Songs, and Songs from our Past. Let's get started!Mormons are known for their tight-knit community and adherence to religious values. But did you know that they soak during sexual activity? Here's why and how it works.'Soaking' is basically penetrative sex without the movement and hip thrusting.Here's how it works: you've got a couple, the guy inserts his penis into the vagina and... just lies there. It's basically a way to get around pre-marital sex, something that is considered sinful within the Mormon religion. Grindr has gone mainstream and we don't' think the straights are ready for this. Find out why its bad nad what are the possible bad outcomes. Candace Cameron Bure is problematic this past week. She caused quite the stir on social media. The key quote that Candace Cameron Bure said that sparked outrage was “I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.” CEO Bill Abbott followed up those comments by saying that he and GAF are aware of the 2022 trends and “there's no whiteboard” that says they will and won't go to certain places with their content.

Magicians are “wired” to perform. We want the microphone. We love the bright lights, the sound of applause and especially laughter…at the right time and place. This week’s guest, Bill Abbott, is a comedy magician who understands comedy and knows how to perfectly blend it with magic. Indeed it is a fine balance because in the end, we want our audiences to remember us but also to have had a good time. So there should be mystery and humor. If you are going to be a magician, then there should be mystery that fools people. If you are going to be a comedian, then you will be telling a series of jokes. But to blend the two together, you shouldn’t be a “prop comic” relying on your props for laughs, but rather, the emphasis should be on the overall experience your audience will take home with them.

A company boss is hoping to take his firm to new heights after bouncing back from serious health problems to return to the hot seat. Bill Abbott set up Hydrochem back in 1987 having spent many years working as a chemical engineer across the Middle East.bHaving worked in Saudi Arabia, Oman and Libya as well as Russia, Bill moved into a manager role with a UK water company in Saudi Arabia where he played a key role in helping raise turnover from £100,000 with just two staff on board to an £8m business with a 30-strong team inside two years. Armed with a wealth of experience, North East-born Bill returned home in 1987 to set up Hydrochem, firstly into a British Steel owned workshop and then into the firm’s current base in Graythorp Industrial Estate, Hartlepool, which lies just a stone’s throw from Teesside’s industrial heartland. The business, which specialises in water treatment and boasts the likes of Bannatyne’s, Bourne Leisure and Marriott Hotels on its client list, has had an impressive year so far and has been forced to increase the workforce to reflect a busy order book. Bill is delighted to see the business progressing so well, not least after facing a personal fight of his own after he was struck down with bowel cancer two years ago. http://www.hydrochemgroup.co.uk/
