TV & Reality

Posted in Abuse of Power, Cancel Culture, Cheating, Christian values, Climate Change, Crazy Nuts, Gambling, Liberals, Truth by

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.

The Logical Conclusion About Gambling & Corruption

Posted in Abuse of Power, Advertising, Christian values, Gambling, Politally Correct, responsibility & irresponsibility by

Throughout my exploration of gambling’s complex landscape, I have critically examined numerous perspectives surrounding its societal implications. While my previous writings have unequivocally demonstrated my stance against gambling, this particular analysis focuses narrowly on its profound impact on governmental structures and fiscal policies.

The pervasive nature of gambling’s influence is evident through a systematic pattern of suppression and tacit acceptance. Political figures who might challenge its prevalence either remain silent or quickly find themselves marginalized. Those rare individuals who vocally oppose gambling often experience swift political consequences, effectively neutralizing potential resistance. Even passionate private citizens who attempt to combat gambling’s spread typically abandon their efforts after encountering significant obstacles. The entrenched system seems designed to discourage meaningful opposition, creating an environment where challenging gambling’s expansion becomes increasingly difficult and personally risky.

In the wake of recent gambling scandals permeating professional sports, particularly basketball and baseball, a troubling pattern emerges. The initial public outcry and media frenzy will inevitably subside, leaving no substantive legal or regulatory reforms in their wake. As public attention wanes, the gambling industry will continue its unchecked influence, revealing a stark reality: gambling interests wield significant power over both governmental institutions and media narratives.

And they do have help, those who refuse to vote against these gambling interests. Instead, they encourage it by their participation. If everyone refused to take part in it, there would be no need for a vote. There would be no need for a law. It would simply go away.

I Should’ve Known

A startling car theft method unfolded on Inside Edition, revealing a sophisticated crime technique that bypasses traditional security measures. Criminals are now intercepting wireless key fob signals, enabling them to steal vehicles directly from owners’ driveways without breaking a window or hotwiring the car. This alarming trend demands increased awareness about modern automotive security vulnerabilities.

In my professional domain, I should have anticipated this vulnerability, and the sophisticated engineering team should have recognized it as well. Initially, I believed a simple power switch could resolve the issue. Deactivating the FOB would prevent signal transmission. Also prolonged inactivity might trigger a sleep mode. Ultimately, the program producers proposed an elegant solution: storing the FOB in a signal-blocking bag or wrapping it in aluminum foil when not in use.

I recommend sharing this important information with vehicle owners and potential buyers who use key fobs. Spreading awareness could help prevent potential issues. To manufacturers and designers of key fob systems, consider implementing user-friendly improvements that enhance security while maintaining the convenience. If this should frustrate a few car thieves, well good.

Two Questions I’d Like the Answers to Before my Death

Posted in Abuse of Power, Deceit, FOC, January 6, law enforcement, Memories, Socialists, Uncategorized by

Who is Ray Epps, and who has been issuing his paychecks for the last 20 years? All those people in or around the Capitol were thrown into various prison cells on the slimmest of evidence for over four years. Not Ray. He will serve 100 hours of community service after waving and encouraging people into the Capitol Building. I am not sure he will serve that. If he does, it will be under the best conditions.

I figure he had a part in the conspiracy or he knows someone who knows someone. I mean there were people who went to prison for being in the vicinity. He stands outside the building and directs traffic, and he was sentenced to a hand slap, which he never receives.

Even now, after the change of administration, he remains in Arizona in that wonderful weather, apparently totally immune to being touched by anyone. And now, who is it that he works for? Does he work at all, or does he draw some kind of FBI paycheck through back channels?

Do you suppose they would give me an hour or three in an interrogation room with Epps, where he would be required to answer my two questions honestly? It is a cover-up that makes anything done by President Nixon or anyone around him look minor. It is far worse than VP Spiro Agnew ever thought about doing.

I THINK NOT!! I will die not knowing, as the rest of us.

Thank the Lord for Discipline

Posted in Christian values, News Anchors, News media, Uncategorized by

It is a difficult thing for a child to be thankful when his hand is being slapped but he should be. That slap on the hand is far less harmful and painful than that jolt of electricity from that wall socket.

Okay. I agree. The socket should be covered. Still, a little slap on the wrist is in order when a child starts trying to put his fingers in the socket, covered or not.

To be sure, I believe there is a big difference between discipline and punishment. The object behind punishment is justice; whereas, the object behind discipline is, or at least should be love. We as parents, from time to time, cause a little harmless pain to avoid the larger pain, or perhaps harm. As parents, we need to remember that, regardless of any anger.

When God disciplines us, it is in love and we should remember that. We should always learn from it as well as be reassured. After all, in general, people normally don’t discipline the strange child in love. When God disciplines us, it is a strong indicator that He is our Father and we are His child. It tells us we are saved and we are forever his. No one can ever take us from Him, ever.

Believe me, I have felt the hand of His discipline all too often. I didn’t like it. I am sure, I have asked why me? But He was always right and I was always wrong. And I learned and I continue to learn today, to my dismay.

How-some-ever, let me say this now before the whole world, I am so very grateful to my God that he disciplines me. It is because He loves me and that is very reassuring.

God disciplines nations too. Then, you know that. Repeatedly, he disciplined Judah when they strayed. Then, they repented and God rewarded them. The last time, God disciplined them several times and Judah turned their back on God. They called the chastising a coincidence and continued in their disobedience.

So, God increased the levels. He told them in advance and raised up the nation of Babylon. As predicted, they went into captivity and to this day, they have not returned to their former greatness.

As with Israel, I believe that the US has found favour with God. How else could we get where we are. However, if we keep turning our back to God, I have to believe that the Same thing will happen to us as Judah. If we keep writing off the warnings as coincidence, or weather change! He can raise up a nation and destroy us, as he destroyed Judah. What does makes me wonder, why has He already done it. By the way, He need not raise up another nation. He can use natural disasters, or a few terrorists with a big bomb.

As I write this, I remain in hope while I can’t help but fear. I know what it is like to feel His discipline. I do have something of an idea of what can happen, faster than anyone can imagine.

If you doubt any of this read the books of kings and chronicles in the Bible. The books, true, are religious. However, they are also very accurate history books.

Regardless; with all the blessings we have received as a nation from God, why in the world would anyone want to turn our backs on Him now? Better to receive His blessings than His discipline; or worse, His judgement.

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.

Not in the News

Posted in Important things, Lawyers and Representation, News media by

You can determine a lot of bias in the news, TV, Radio or printed by what is not being reported. My example which calls out loud to one and to all. A rare hurricane hit North Carolina and devastated the area. Huge sections of interstate 40 have been washed away. Power stations have been destroyed and people are living in tents. Yet, do you hear any news on it.

Naturally, if it were in California, as some disasters have occurred, or in New York… Yes it would be plastered all over the front page and it would be the leading stories on TV and radio. Indeed, the last hurricane to hit NY, NY carried front page news for weeks. Moreover, the government funds were rushed in there before the first 24 hours.

Recovery in the mountains of N. C. will take years. The support for the highways and bridges will have to be made before they actually start on the roadways and bridges. Just getting to these places is going to be a challenge. I would guess roads will have to be built to let the builders get to the sites.

I would guess that most of the power will be restored in most places in a month or two from now. I would suspect it will be longer to restore the houses. I mean these people did not build near the coast where they might expect a hurricane. They worst they are supposed to have is a snow storm or an occasional landslide from a rainstorm. Their insurance on the homes and businesses will likely not pay for much of it. I mean, who in N. C. would carry hurricane insurance.

The people in NY, NY built where they should expect storms, right on the coast. Moreover they did not need to deal with having to move megatons of dirt to rebuild the roads.

The people in NY, NY are pretty well back to normal thanks to moneys coming from Kansas and Oregon and the OK state. Pretty much from the rest of the country.

It is obvious why the news media pays so much attention to NY, NY instead of N. C. NY, NY is not only in their back yard, but they share common politics. I mean, do you suppose that the NY Times would have covered the Damage in NY, NY if it were a thousand miles away? Do you suppose they would have covered it if the area was solid red?

The proof is in the action. They spent a lot of news print on NY, NY and hardly a thing on N. C.

Well there is one other thing that might explain it. They might have had a problem getting the reporters into N. C. The reporters might have a problem phoning in the story. Also, they might have a problem finding a hotel room, or, for that matter a hotel.

A Question of Degree

Posted in Advertising, Cancel Culture, Cheating, Deceit, Elections, FOC, Kamala, Lawyers and Representation, Our Legal Systems by

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.

The Truth comes Out!!

Well some of it does. They say that 24 (or was it 26?) men were among those in the group that went into the capitol building, were FBI informants. It was just almost implied that they got their marching orders from the FBI. Therefore, I will infer that they did. It does make me wonder if Ray Epps was among the 24… informants. It does make me suspect that Epps was carrying a radio on him from which he received his instructions. Likely, a quarter mile away, an FBI agent was speaking the orders into a transmitter. Who knows, maybe it was Wray himself. If not, maybe by relay.

It does maybe make me suspect that Trump had proof and he told Wray about it. Well, I do suppose a bluff was enough. It sure would explain why he decided to get out of Dodge, er, D.C. for quickly. I don’t think he would mind being fired. On the other hand, being charged with inciting a riot might be a little too much. Oh. And did I mention a few hundred cases of false arrest.

Understand. I am not saying that that is what happened. However, it does fit so very well. It’s sort of like that missing piece to that 1500 piece jig-saw puzzle we’ve been looking for. You know, once we find it, the whole puzzle fits together so quickly and so well.

CNN beat by the Food Channel

Posted in News media by

Just reported by Mark Levin. I can’t think of a reason he would have to lie. about it.

The thing is, it is kind of a double meaning. Not only is it sad for CNN but it is also somewhat sad for the Food Channel that they should serve as the comparison. I mean, who wants it said that so-and-so is worse than such-and-such? It sort of makes such-and-such look bad too.
