TV & Reality

As my wife’s illness progresses, she has more difficulty with TV. I keep telling her the shows aren’t real. It angers her, accusing me of not knowing.

Reality television has increasingly blurred the lines between authenticity and scripted entertainment. Take, for instance, the popular storage auction shows that once seemed genuine. Initially, I believed in their raw, unscripted nature, much like how professional wrestling was once perceived as a legitimate sport. However, as I continued watching, the interactions became noticeably more choreographed. The verbal exchanges began to feel less spontaneous and more like carefully crafted dialogue, revealing the manufactured drama behind the scenes. This realization prompted me to question the credibility of reality programming and the extent to which these shows are actually “real.”

In contemporary television, scripted dialogue has evolved from polished, rehearsed exchanges to more spontaneous narratives that draw inspiration from current events, challenging viewers to engage more critically with the storytelling.

In our increasingly complex media landscape, discerning truth from fabrication has become a challenging endeavor. News programs, despite their polished studios and professional veneer, often present conflicting narratives that shift with alarming frequency. While these broadcasts remain our primary source of information, critical viewers must carefully navigate the terrain of reporting, constantly evaluating the credibility of each statement. The more inconsistencies and retractions emerge, the more skeptical audiences become, eroding trust in traditional media platforms and challenging our understanding of objective reality.

As I confide in my wife, professional football stands as our sole bastion of authenticity in a world of manufactured narratives. The raw intensity of athletes competing for championship glory seems unparalleled, a genuine spectacle of human determination. Yet, with recent gambling controversies casting long shadows across the sport, I find myself questioning its integrity. Perhaps the gridiron is slowly transforming into just another scripted performance, trading genuine athletic passion for manufactured drama.

Revisiting Jan 6

It’s been 4 years. I don’t know, but I suspect that some that were imprisoned have not been charged. No one, but no one did anything worthy of imprisoning past 4 years.

My suggestion to President Trump is to commute the sentences of all those arrested in conjunction with Jan 6. Then allow each to present reason for pardons. Some will be obvious and can quickly be pardoned. For instance, those who never went inside the building.

On the other hand, I think Ray Epps should be chased down by the Marshal service and investigated. Not by the FBI. They likely have a bias in the matter. Moreover, an agent should be selected away from the DC area to keep him from being tainted as well.

Finally, a special investigator should be selected to interview each of the ones who were arrested. If they were denied their rights, those responsible should, at the least be given the opportunity to resign without benefits.

When the rest see what happens, it will be less likely to happen again.

Unique Idea

Posted in Cancel Culture, Elections, FOC, gun control, Lawyers and Representation, Our Legal Systems, Politcal Opinion by

For years, I have been writing posts suggesting that a good way to cut back on crime is to keep the criminals in prison.

Surprise. I just heard an official in Memphis suggest the same thing when he was addressing a problem with repeat offenders. Maybe he is a little slow on the uptake, but he just might have finally figured it out.

Now, he needs to spread the word to all the other cities. Rare as the idea is, it is a proven method.

Of course, it does have a downside for me. If the crime rate in Memphis goes down, it might not help my property values as much.

A Question of Degree

The question has been asked why the dems lost if they cheated. They really should rather ask how much more Trump would have won had they not cheated.

If nothing else, Kamala should have claimed all the free campaigning she received from the media, you know, like the so-called comedy shows they put on late at night. You note that in at least one case, they were forced to provide equal time by the FCC. How many such cases were never uncovered though they were frequently as blatant, even in cases of so-called straight news.

Also, there were some cases that the dems were caught and there was retribution. How many such cases were not caught.

Kamala outright paid over a billion for the presidency. It wasn’t enough, even when you include the in-kind contributions. All in in all, it was likely double that, at least. By the way, in-kind contributions are considered illegal, that is to say cheating.

Who Do You Trust?

Actually, it was a title of an old TV show, 1957-1963. Yes, I used to watch it. I enjoyed it, far more than the game shows of today. It would seem, today they might name a show, how far can we push it until the FCC pulls the figurative plug.

The title of the show was brought to mind recently as someone used the phrase in an attempt to push Kamala for president. It seemed a good line to build a post around. I mean, the US voters put Old Joe in the Oval Office for four years. It was close in that he almost didn’t get elected and he almost got another four years.

But then something happened to put a stop to it all, almost instantly. Today, almost everyone in this country will admit the man has really lost it. He could never have done it. There is no telling what the plan was in the dem hierarchy but, for the short term, they were going to ask the voters to put our trust in who just might get lost crossing the street.

Some might be wondering what my point is. Others might already have figured it out. I have not concealed it well. I mean, just who is going to trust a woman who was going to ask us to trust Old Joe, when she knew what might very well have happened as a result.

However, she was not nearly the only one. The entirety of the leadership of the Democrat party was asking us to vote for a man who could hardly find his way to or from a podium. To think, that we trusted him to carry the codes to a nuclear war. Yeah, that’s right, he still has them until January, no matter who wins in November. I don’t know about you but that scares me.

Going back to the title of my post, who do you trust? Do you really trust a party that put our country in that much danger for four years, yes, for a while, they wanted us to give him four more years to endanger, not just the country, but the entire planet in so much danger.

As an aside, you might ask those folks worshiping our planet, nature and all the trees, “What would have happened if Old Joe decided to call an end to mankind and to all that lives on planet earth?”

Maybe it is time to take those codes away from him now. Maybe it is time to invoke the 25th amendment. Better yet, Maybe it is time to remove them both from office, Old Joe and the woman that aided and abetted the danger the dems put us in.

Won’t ever happen, of course. The dems would rather risk total annihilation than let the Speaker ascend to the presidency. With that in mind, can you ever trust a dem again, ever.

Take Care, Things Are Not Always as They Appear

The prompt about making food reminded me of something that happened a very long time ago. Well, maybe not so long geologically speaking. Let’s put it this way. I am now 76 and it happened when I was yet in high school. That would make it early 60s. I am sure to some of my readers, that is ancient.

Regardless, I had made a yellow cake. While it was cooling, I started on the frosting, chocolate. I had made a syrup of coco, water, a little salt, vanilla and water. My younger sister had entered the kitchen and I could see she was eyeing the my little mixture. I warned her that she wouldn’t like it if she got any of it. I turned to prepare the confection sugar and out of the corner of my eye I saw my sister move suddenly. Yup, from the expression on her face, I could see she tried to raid the syrup.

I got a pretty good laugh and my sister got a long drink of water. She didn’t even bother with a glass. She drank it right out of the faucet. I am sure if she could, she would have liked to be able to undo that function. I suspect she wished she had a backspace key. Fortunately, five minutes later, it was just a bad memory.

I must admit, I would have been tempted too. That little mixture I made up really looks good. But it is the ultimate in bitterness. The chocolate frosting that I put on that cake was mixed with sugar. In fact, it was mostly sugar. It wasn’t truly chocolate, but chocolate flavored.

You know, a lot of life is like that. It looks so-o-o good, but, in the end, it is very bitter. I don’t know about you, but it seems I need to learn that lesson over and over again. The sweetness of chocolate is only there after the sugar is added. Somethings in life remain bitter, regardless of how much sugar is added.

Think Maybe the Blue States Would Fuss, Just a Little?

Let’s say Trump wins. That in itself would create an uproar. However, let’s take it on stage farther and deport only the illegal aliens from red states. After all, the blue states don’t want to deport anyone, including murderers and rapists.

The problem for the blue states… all the illegal aliens would rush to the blue states. That would be California, NY, NJ, ETC. The citizens in the blue states would have a run on U-Hauls. Then I would guess we would find out just what the PEOPLE in the blue states think about opening borders and illegal aliens.

Why Can’t My Son Go to the 4 Grade

WRONG QUESTION!!

I was watching news last night and I heard a woman complaining, Why can’t my son go to the 4th grade?

I understand her grief. I understand her desires. My older son spent time in a California school. He also spent some time in a Memphis school. It is the primary reason we moved to Desoto County.

My advice to that woman or to anyone who has his child in Shelby County schools, get them out! just as fast as they can.

Many things can be done to improve the schools, but that would take time. You don’t have time. Besides, I don’t think they want to improve the schools. Their purpose is to take your money and gain power. Some teachers try, but, for them, they are swimming upstream. When they make the other teachers look bad, the union reps have words with them.

At this point, I’m not sure Desoto County schools are that good. I saw signs of degrading the last few years my sons were there, decades ago. Today, I would do what I could to keep my dependents out of any public schools completely.

Moreover, my advice to this and all parents in Shelby County is to ask the right questions. My question, above all, is why is it that OUR children can’t read. I emphasize OUR, because we aren’t talking 2 or 3, or 5 or 6. We are talking thousands. Shelby County schools are some of the worst performing in Tennessee and the US.

If it were individuals, we could say the child is the problem. The fact is, it isn’t the failure of the students I’m concerned with. It is the failure of the system, one which has money flooding in, and failure flowing out.

The long term solution, vote Republican. Get those dems out of there just as fast as you can. Fire teachers who can’t or won’t teach. Better to have 8th graders who can teach than a PhD who can’t.

Finally, minimize control by teachers unions.They have no business at all in the control of the schools, teaching methods or what is being taught.

Not a Drill Instructor

Posted in Abuse of Power, Cancel Culture, Going Green, Liberals, Politally Correct, Socialists by

Even before I started Marine boot camp, I knew better than to call my D.I. a D.I. Others made that mistake, which raised the DI’s anger. Although everyone knows D.I. stands for Drill Instructor, the DI quickly reminds one and all that D.I. can also stand for Dumb Idiot. So, should you go into the Marines, you just might want to remember not to call your D.I. a D.I. He just might hit you.

Now just why would I bring this up?

Recently the dems brought a skier in front of a senate committee as an “expert” about carbon dioxide and climate change. Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana commenced to asking him questions on his so-called expertise. In less than 3 minutes, it was clear he lacked any expertise, on air, carbon dioxide, climate change, or for that matter anything. In essence, he admitted it.

He did not know what carbon dioxide was. He had no idea that it is less than 1 percent of the atmosphere. I am not sure, but I doubt he knew that carbon dioxide is a necessity for plant life.

It was obvious the guy WAS a D.I.; and I don’t mean drill instructor.

By the way, it does make the dems look like D.I.s too. They must have been dumb idiots for putting their D.I. before the committee without at least a little prep.

Rare Agreement

Posted in Abuse of Power, Biden, Cancel Culture, Christian values, Collusion, Controllers, Deceit, Elections, FOC, Going Green, Important things, January 6, Politcal Opinion, Socialists by

I rarely agree with any said by Old Joe. However, in this case I must. In the state of the union address, Old Joe said, “Freedom and Democracy are under assault.” I agree. It is casual to the most obvious observer that freedom and democracy are in substantial danger. Moreover, so are the Constitution and Bill of Rights. This is especially true for freedom of speech, freedom of religion and right to bear arms.

The dems are doing their best to destroy every bit of it.
