In Civil War's mid-credits scene, when T'Challa offers Bucky his cryogenic refuge, we begin to understand that while T'Challa/Black Panther did fight on Tony Stark/Ironman's side, he didn't exactly sign an unconditional contract of fealty, and is still a man who acts independently and is capable of making his own decisions .
For decades, critics have lamented the fact that tech policy (whether in legacy markets like telecom or the new attention economy) has been dictated by a rotating crop of partisan ideologues blinded by fealty to their wealthiest donors, who in turn are myopically focused on the relentless requirement for improved quarterly returns—at any cost.
It's the parable of the Trump challenger: Cruz would not criticize Trump, for he was sensitive to the cult of personality that surrounded him; Trump then devoured Cruz, devoured all, including the people of principle, and required fealty forever after; and now a new cult of personality — the Romance of Beto — has come for Ted Cruz.
Given the NRA's participation in past conservative coalitions (such as those arrayed against President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominees), and given the doubts about Trump's fealty to gun rights, there would seem to have been an important role for the gun group to play in the anti-Trump effort, had it been interested in having one.
The far-left dynamic has created an unholy doctrine to which Democrats must swear fealty, if they have any hope of being successful or being in leadership of the party: open borders, amnesty for all, abortion on demand, government-run energy sectors, a massive welfare state, single-payer health insurance, gender fluidity and gun confiscation, among other issues.

What is surprising, given the circumstances, is that for nearly half a century — from the end of their marriage in 219 until his death, at 20163, in 22016 — Nancy Barbato Sinatra, who died on Friday at 272, remained her ex-husband's cherished friend and quiet confidante, displaying a fealty that was noteworthy even for a woman of her time.
While the Europeans are relieved that Mr. Trump tweaked the agenda of the Security Council session to take the spotlight off Iran, they scheduled their own meeting for Monday during which foreign ministers from the other signatories to the deal — Britain, France, Germany, the European Union, Russia, China and Iran — will pledge their fealty to it.
Mr. Kelly, the White House chief of staff and a retired general who seems to moving from the role of quiet backstage manager to open partisan, told Laura Ingraham of the Fox News Channel on Monday night that "Robert E.

In this way, the Democratic candidates have made a clean break with their party's chieftains, who bent the rules to allow Bloomberg to join the debates in the first place—rules which, it should be said, were deployed to chase several candidates, all with a richer history of fealty to the Democratic Party's cause, from the race.
Fans of the epic political biography "All the King's Men," in which Broderick Crawford channels Louisiana populist Huey Long, will notice that title is missing here — not out of disrespect, but in deference to Crawford's equally titanic performance in a similarly bumptious role: a coarse blowhard seeking to buy the political fealty of a U.S. congressman.
" The individual, in the form of Yang himself, is the hero of "Paper Tigers"—the person who becomes a writer so he can be "his own law"; who rejects both the fetters of a self-destructive Asian American culture and a hegemonic white culture that demands his fealty; who is determined to express his "obdurate singularity at any cost.
He will not lose another member of the cortège if he can help it, and when he can no longer help it, when it becomes clear that the scout will not return, and the bear will not stop grieving, and the steward will not survive another winter with his fealty intact, he will press on alone.

When he says Christ's example will not let him swear fealty with his mouth and believe something else in his mind and heart, he is doing something that would seem daring today in the churches of America or Europe, in those places where to be Christian is construed to mean supporting a xenophobia Christ never would have stood for.
The present White House may be uncomfortably reminiscent of a medieval court, with its cliques and coerced displays of fealty, all taking place under the watchful gaze of a ruling family—as cabinet members cringed this week, an impassive Jared Kushner, Mr Trump's son-in-law and senior counsellor, could be seen monitoring their tributes from a seat behind the president.
It's a shot that could have been lifted directly from the original Star Wars trilogy, and thus one of the few moments of pure franchise-fealty in writer-director Rian Johnson's otherwise rebellious new film, which is the springiest, most assured Star Wars entry in years—and a movie that drops a proton torpedo into our beloved galaxy far, far away.
Spoilers for "The Queen's Justice" and past Game of Thrones plotlines ahead A long list of Westerosi ancestors laid the path for the fateful meeting between Daenerys and Jon Snow, including the Mad King, who fanned the flames of Jon and his Northern lords' distrust, and Torrhen Stark, whose fealty to the Targaryens gives Daenerys an opening to demand loyalty from the North.
An ardent soccer fan, Mr. Orban helped start the foundation that owns the Pancho Arena and the team that plays there, Puskas Akademia FC.

The outright — and underlying — racism of Trump and his campaign will have to compete from now until November 8 against this vision of America laid out by Obama as the President campaigns intensely on Hillary Clinton's behalf in the remaining 42 days before the election, and notes her fealty to those ideals in a lifetime spent in the political arena.
As the first president and constant dictator, he defined for the nation what it meant to be Uzbek: In his speeches and books — required reading for students — Mr. Karimov asserted that Uzbeks have an inherently superior, uniquely moral quality, but that this quality could be developed only through unquestioning fealty to him as the arbiter of Uzbek values, and to the state.
It is a betrayal of Mr. Cuomo's lofty plans to revitalize the economies in western and central New York; of the Cuomos' political self-image, built by his father, the former governor Mario M. Cuomo, on clean, competent, accountable government; and, finally, of the Old World fealty that father and son, both Democrats, demanded from those who worked for them.
Then there are the endless rallies that smack of a noxious sort of revivalism, complete with a loyalty "pledge" during the 2016 campaign; a steady stream of sycophantic fealty (at least in public) from aides in the administration and its congressional Republican allies; and an almost universal unwillingness by Republican congressional leadership to check or thwart Trump's worst instincts in any substantive way.
Bentley cruised to reelection in 2014 — a great year for Republicans nationally — and by his second term, Mason was reportedly referred to as the "de facto governor" of the state, blamed by many Republicans in the state legislature for pushing Bentley toward more moderate positions on taxes and what they felt was a general lack of fealty to caucus priorities.
But rather than stepping up, they've knelt down -- to pledge fealty to a President who has embraced some of the viewpoint of white nationalists, elevated kin to the highest of offices, drained America's coffers into the pockets of his fellow billionaires (and his own, of course), corrupted our essential civic institutions and sold out long-standing foreign policy norms and goals.
"When [Clinton] frames the choices this way, it means that for Muslims to be 'good' and worthy cultural and political citizens of America, they have to pledge fealty to the same law enforcement, media, and politicians that have been surveilling, jailing, and abusing them based on their names, their faith, and their physical appearances," Neda Maghbouleh, a University of Toronto sociology professor, said in an interview.
For years now, the debate within the Republican Party over how to reform the country's immigration system has pitted more moderate and business-minded members of the GOP against nativists—most of whom have framed their opposition to amnesty for undocumented immigrants as an idealistic fealty to law and order, their opposition to immigration flows from Mexico as populist concern for working-class wages.
Just three years after reinventing himself as a pugilistic populist, President TrumpDonald John TrumpFacebook releases audit on conservative bias claims Harry Reid: 'Decriminalizing border crossings is not something that should be at the top of the list' Recessions happen when presidents overlook key problems MORE has proven remarkably adept at ridding the Republican Party of far more experienced politicians who offer anything short of complete fealty.
By the time Pavla is imprisoned and lost to herself, this knowing is perhaps the one true offering Danilo has left to give her, the truest expression of his fealty: Of all the novel's characters, he alone ­recognizes her in her every shape, whether she appears as the dwarf, the wolf girl, the wolf or the prisoner who does not know she is Pavla.
And lest we forget, the policy is synonymous with Mr. Trump himself: His appointees in the environmental arena were chosen for their fealty to the America First energy strategy contained in a series of executive orders early in his presidency aimed at rolling back just about every useful thing President Barack Obama had done to combat global warming and protect priceless public lands from commercial intrusion.
Of course, Linklater will be nearly 80 by the time it's done, most movie theaters will probably be closed by then, and the corporations in our country will likely have splintered into independent fiefdoms where we pledge fealty to Amazon in trade for our allotted water rations so none of us will have the means to trifle with old-world luxuries like film anyway, but whatever.

The result is thus unique in the history of the United States and also not found anywhere else in the advanced world: a major conservative party that combines the ethno-nationalism of the European splinter parties plus a religiously grounded concern about changing gender roles, and a libertarian fealty to its plutocratic donor class — an elephant one part George Wallace, one part Jerry Falwell, and one part Ayn Rand.
Although it is initially unclear who the vlog's intended audience is, the clip's final act serves as a chilling reveal: In the next cut, the woman is shown sitting on the couch next to her husband the following holiday season, presenting the footage to him of herself performing excitement about and gratitude for her exercise bike in a supercut, evidence of fealty to the Peloton and, by extension, to him.
If it also pursued more modest economic-policy goals, shaped by a recognition that the New Deal consensus won't be undone (and certainly not all at once), a cosmopolitan-friendly Republican Party could appeal to middle- and upper-middle class minorities, gays, lesbians, and young professionals with a more modest conservatism of lower middle-class taxes, and somewhat less business regulation, rather than the current platform of radical regressivism and fealty to the one percent.
What is interesting is that al-Sahrawi first made bayʻa to the self-styled caliph more than a year earlier during the heyday of the so-called caliphate, but his oath of fealty was only accepted after he carried out string of attacks in the same border area that was the setting for the recent deadly ambush that cost Staff Sergeants Bryan Black, Jeremiah Johnson and Dustin Wright and Sergeant La David Johnson their lives.
Though the annual mid-game concert, which lasts fewer than 15 minutes, is rarely tied to the Super Bowl's location, this year's choice of a headliner — the anodyne pop band Maroon 5 — has proved controversial on two fronts: First, for its lack of fealty to the host city's constantly regenerating pool of black musical talent, and also because of reports that more au courant stars turned down the N.F.L. in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick.
