Distributed by Universal Pictures. 94 minutes. Rated PG.

When walking into another sequel from a long running movie franchise, I try to hold a certain expectation. Usually the expectation is that a new unforeseen villain just appears without much rhythm or reason. There have not been many times that I have seen this pulled off in a way that is cohesive to the overarching story. However, I was pleasantly surprised this week by the newest chapter in the Kung Fu Panda series. While I have a couple of notes of things I would like to have seen done differently, I found the concepts interesting.

The newest villain, The Chameleon (Viola Davis), was wonderful from a design standpoint, but unfortunately bland from a characteristic standpoint. I had hoped to see more of a story or motive behind her actions. In the film it was stated that she was rejected by mentors, and she grew bitter from that as a result.

What the villain lacked in a strong motive; she made up for in plan execution. Personally, I was excited to see the former villains of the past movies brought back for this story. As this movie served as the passing of the torch in our main character Po's (Jack Black) journey, it was fulfilling to see him display his growth for his past foes. I especially was glad to see the role of Tai Lung being reprised by Ian McShane.

With this being said, I wished that there was more interaction between Po and Tai Lung. The rivalry they had in the first movie was memorable enough for me to suddenly think about it, even after not having seen a movie from this franchise for a very long time. Considering that Tai Lung's exit from the movie was the moment that he gave Po his respect, I hoped that it would have been more sincere than it came across.

This goes for the entire final battle of the movie as well. The concept of bringing back the spirits of the past villains could have made an incredible battle sequence that tied up loose ends between our hero and his former foes. Since Po has truly embodied the importance of forgiveness and striving to do the right thing, it would have been a great moment of character growth for him to make up with the villains he once fought.

However, despite the faults in the story's execution, this was a nice watch. I thoroughly enjoyed the art style and performances given by the cast. Overall this was another high-quality movie from DreamWorks, and I look forward to the next chapter.

Kung Fu Panda 4

** DERNIÈRE MISE À JOUR : 27 mars 2024 **

Synopsis Après trois aventures dans lesquelles le guerrier dragon Po a combattu les maîtres du mal les plus redoutables grâce à un courage et des compétences en arts martiaux inégalés, le destin va de nouveau frapper à sa porte pour … l’inviter à enfin se reposer. Plus précisément, pour être nommé chef spirituel de la vallée de la Paix. Cela pose quelques problèmes évidents. Premièrement, Po maîtrise aussi bien le leadership spirituel que les régimes, et deuxièmement, il doit rapidement trouver et entraîner un nouveau guerrier dragon avant de pouvoir profiter des avantages de sa prestigieuse promotion. Pire encore, il est question de l’apparition récente d’une sorcière aussi mal intentionnée que puissante, Caméléone, une lézarde minuscule qui peut se métamorphoser en n'importe quelle créature, et ce sans distinction de taille. Or Caméléone lorgne de ses petits yeux avides et perçants sur le bâton de sagesse de Po, à l’aide duquel elle espère bien pouvoir réinvoquer du royaume des esprits tous les maîtres maléfiques que notre guerrier dragon a vaincu. Po va devoir trouver de l’aide. Il va en trouver (ou pas ?) auprès de Zhen, une renarde corsac, voleuse aussi rusée que vive d'esprit, qui a le don d’irriter Po mais dont les compétences vont s’avérer précieuses. Afin de réussir à protéger la Vallée de la Paix des griffes reptiliennes de Caméléone, ce drôle de duo va devoir trouver un terrain d’entente. Ce sera l’occasion pour Po de découvrir que les héros ne sont pas toujours là où on les attend.

Republicans racked up big wins in more than a dozen state legislatures this fall — and now they’re planning to use their expanded power to crack down on abortions come January.

With sweeping abortion legislation having little chance in a divided Congress, conservative state legislators are stepping into the void, proposing to limit when the procedure can take place, enact new regulations on abortion pills and strengthen penalties for doctors who break the law. Taken together, the legislation could make it harder for tens of millions of people to obtain abortions — particularly in Southern states that still permit most abortions, like Florida, North Carolina and Virginia, which have become havens for access since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

The actions in state capitols come as most national-level Republicans have eschewed talking about abortion, a reticence that some in the anti-abortion movement say explains the party’s underwhelming performance in the midterm elections.

Many GOP lawmakers who sailed to victory in states with anti-abortion laws balk at the idea that Democrats’ focus on abortion rights is evidence the left’s message resonated with voters. Instead, they’re taking their electoral victories as a mandate to pass additional abortion restrictions.

“South Carolina had a huge red tidal wave in this election. We flipped eight seats in the South Carolina House of Representatives … We all ran on pro-life,” said South Carolina Republican Rep. John McCravy, who spearheaded efforts this summer to prohibit abortion in most cases starting at conception. “If anything, we need to ramp our efforts up.”

In North Carolina, GOP Senate leader Phil Berger said in an interview he believes a bill limiting abortion to 12 or 13 weeks with exceptions for rape, incest, life of the pregnant person and in cases where the fetus won’t survive is the “sweet spot as far as where the public would be.”

In Virginia, Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin backs banning most abortions at 15 weeks with exceptions in cases of rape, incest or if the pregnant person’s life is at risk, and tasked a panel of Republican legislators to draft a bill for consideration next year. And in Nebraska, lawmakers are expected to again take up abortion restrictions after failing to limit access to the procedure to 12 weeks this summer.

“The truth is, Virginians want fewer abortions, not more abortions,” Youngkin said in a statement. “We can build a bipartisan consensus on protecting the life of unborn children, especially when they begin to feel pain in the womb, and importantly supporting mothers and families who choose life.”

At the same time, Republican lawmakers are backing policies that would expand government support for families and children, such as providing housing to pregnant people, extending Medicaid postpartum coverage, and offering tax exemptions on household goods for babies and toddlers. In Florida, for instance, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has proposed a permanent tax exemption for diapers, baby wipes, clothing, cribs, strollers and other necessities for children under five.

While GOP lawmakers have pushed these kinds of policies in the past, they believe they need to do a better job about telegraphing them to the public to demonstrate to voters a positive agenda — not just what they’re against.

“It’s critical because the only way you’re really going to move people’s emotions and temperaments for having abortion as a first option is to change hearts and minds,” said Indiana Republican state Sen. Liz Brown. “This is winning the hearts and minds of women, saying, ‘They’re not your friends, they’re not on your side. They want you to be able to have an abortion up until the birth of the baby, but they walk away from you, and we are there to help you.’”

But the coming flurry of anti-abortion legislation also risks dividing the Republican Party as some state lawmakers take a no-compromises approach to new abortion restrictions, while others remain willing to negotiate to put a bill on their governor’s desk.

Those divisions played out during special sessions this summer in Indiana, South Carolina and West Virginia, where some anti-abortion Republicans were accused of being insufficiently “pro-life” because they supported exceptions for rape or incest, or were willing to compromise on prohibiting abortion after the detection of fetal cardiac activity, around six weeks into a pregnancy, instead of at conception.

“Now, could somebody demagogue that as insufficiently pro-choice or overly pro-choice, or insufficiently pro-life or overly pro-life? I think folks at the extremes will do that,” Berger, the North Carolina Senate leader, said of his support for a 12- or 13-week limit. “We just need to be careful how we approach this, and we need to be mindful of how personal some of the positions that members will take on this issue might be and be respectful of that.”

Abortion-rights proponents, however, argue that Republican electoral victories should be seen as no more than a byproduct of newly redrawn district lines — not as a mandate to enact anti-abortion policies.

“They’ve shown regardless that even when they do have majorities, they’re never satisfied with just one more abortion ban,” said Andrea Miller, president of the National Institute for Reproductive Health. “They keep doubling and tripling and quadrupling down, trying to find new ways to further punish and threaten those who provide and seek abortion care.”

Florida, Nebraska, North Carolina and Virginia — four states where there is a Republican governor or at least one GOP-controlled legislative chamber — are anti-abortion groups’ top targets for new limits on how far into a pregnancy someone can access the procedure. Abortion is currently legal until 15 weeks in Florida, 20 weeks in Nebraska and North Carolina and the third trimester in Virginia.

“You’re going to have to make a run for what you can get with the caucuses that you have. The other side has spent nearly 50 years trying to change our culture,” said Sue Swayze Liebel with Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America at a recent gathering of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers. “We have to work hard to get back hearts and minds, including in your own caucus.”

In North Carolina, for instance, Republicans secured a veto-proof supermajority this year in the Senate but fell one seat short of a supermajority in the House. Legislative leaders are hoping they’ll be able to get at least one Democrat to sign onto new abortion restrictions that would allow them to override an expected veto from Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper, who opposes any changes to the state’s abortion law.

According to a report from the Society of Family Planning, North Carolina saw a 37% uptick in abortions between April and August, the largest of any state, which means a new abortion ban stands to have a significant impact not only on North Carolinians’ ability to access the procedure, but those in surrounding states as well.

“I believe that all of the Democrats elected in the statehouse believe that reproductive freedom is important, and I look forward to working with them to hold the line,” Cooper told POLITICO. “This is important in the southeastern United States. North Carolina has become an access point for many women throughout the Southeast.”

In South Carolina, lawmakers plan to try again to amend the state’s six-week ban and prohibit abortions starting at conception after legislators failed to agree on a path forward during the summer.

“I do think it’s possible,” said South Carolina Republican state Sen. Richard Cash. “If we get another bill through committee, the hope would be there would be enough grassroots pressure in the state to persuade the Senate leadership to put it on the floor and see if there aren’t a few votes that would be changed as a result of people having had time to reflect on everything that’s happened.”

Students for Life, another anti-abortion group, is encouraging lawmakers not to give in.

“Even if you’re against the exceptions for abortion in cases of rape — which we are, your parentage doesn’t determine your value — your constituents are actually much more in line — or closer in line — with your position than the Democrats’ position,” said Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life.

The group is also pushing state lawmakers to introduce bills requiring doctors who prescribe abortion pills to collect and treat fetal tissue as medical waste, part of a broader strategy to use concerns around the environment to restrict access to medication abortion. They’re also encouraging red state attorneys general to prosecute doctors and abortion pill manufacturers.

In other states, lawmakers are eyeing legislation to support pregnant people, families and babies — proposals they believe will not only dissuade people from seeking abortions in the first place but could improve their standing with moderate voters who view their movement as more punitive than compassionate.

“We’re looking in a post-Roe world how can government be best optimized to allow families to flourish,” said Wyoming Republican state Rep. Rachel Rodriguez-Williams, who sponsored the state’s near-total abortion ban. “That’s why we’re looking at legislation that’s more pro-life family policies versus just independently pro-life.”

Abortion-rights proponents, however, argue that much of red-state spending on this issue has gone toward crisis pregnancy centers, which they say use deceptive and misleading tactics to encourage people to carry their pregnancies to term. Miller said funding such facilities “does not address the crisis in prenatal care.”

“The policymakes and advocates who have moved the ball forward on affordable housing, on prenatal care, on child care, on investments in education, on Medicaid expansion, on all of the policies that we know are part and parcel of reproductive freedom and reproductive justice have been moved forward by elected officials and advocates who support abortion care,” Miller said. “Do I want to see policies like that move forward? Absolutely. Do I question the motives? Absolutely.”

In Indiana, lawmakers allocated $75 million to support social services for families — including $45 million to establish a “Hoosier Families First Fund” that will allow the state to award grants to support families and $10 million in child care vouchers — at the same time they passed a bill prohibiting abortion except in cases of rape, incest and life endangerment this summer.

In Mississippi, where abortion is banned except to save the life of the pregnant person or in cases where a rape is reported to the police, Republican Gov. Tate Reeves recently announced a plan for “advancing the new pro-life agenda” that includes establishing a child care tax credit, removing the five-child cap on child support and allocating $3 million to hire more attorneys to clear the state’s adoption backlog.

In a statement, Reeves said he was hopeful the state would “make serious progress in advancing sound policies that strengthen families and simultaneously lay out a policy roadmap for other states to follow” next year.

And in Wyoming, lawmakers are eyeing expanding postpartum Medicaid coverage.

“We know that just because there’s no legal abortion in a state, that doesn’t mean there won’t be women who need help, who need support,” said Katie Glenn, state policy director for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.

Dr. John Chesney House

225 E. Mansfield St.

Bucyrus, OH

Dr. John M. Chesney was born in Mercer County, PA, on May 31, 1825, and he was almost 57 at his death. He was raised on a farm and was educated in a district school. When he was 16, he entered an academy at Jamestown, Pa., and after some time, he taught two terms of school. He then began the study of medicine at his brother’s office at Shelocta and commenced his practice when he was 22. He moved to Ohio in 1847 and settled with his brother at Marseilles, Wyandot County, for six months and located at Huntersville, Hardin County. In the spring of 1851, he moved to Kenton for two years, then returned to Marseilles until 1876 when he moved to Bucyrus for business as a druggist until his death. He married Julia Thompson and had five children.

His successor was Dr. Wilbur Glenn Carlisle, one of Bucyrus’ best known physicians. He was a native of Hillsboro, born April 6, 1888, the son of James and Martha Glenn Carlisle. Dr. Carlisle married Miss Edith Chesney on Sept. 8, 1914, in Toledo and brought her back to her childhood home. They were both graduates of Ohio Wesleyan University. He completed his medical training and internship at John’s Hopkins University and Hospital in Baltimore, Md., where he was third in the class of 77. He opened his office here in the basement of the home of the late Dr. John A. Chesney, 255 E. Mansfield St. The building had been empty since his death in 1912, when his daughter, Edith, left to live in Toledo. One year after he opened his office in Bucyrus, he moved it to the first floor of the East Mansfield Street home where it remained.

The Chesney-Carlisle House at 225 E. Mansfield St. in Bucyrus was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 24, 1980. Today it is also known as the Garner, Berger, Kimerline, Flegnand and Kennedy Law Offices.

I am kinda disappointed that they revealed Oogway chose Po in the first movie cos he knew Po was special, after being rescued and taught by pandas long ago. The original point of Po was that an ordinary guy could be special if he tried hard enough. Now, to be special, you had to destined to be.
