Me slapping my forehead.

People looking for conspiracies.

CBS and Tic Tok and many other media properties have been purchased by Larry Ellison this year. He is bidding for Warner (includes CNN and other cable channels) as we speak.

Larry Ellison is the largest private funder of the Israel Defense Force that has been leveling GAZA for 2+ years and killing Women and Children, reporters and doctors. IDF also attacked Hamas negotiators in Qatar after deceptive abuse of negotiations. (They did the same thing before attacking Iran). Qatar hosts the largest American airbase in the middle east. How is attacking them in America’s interest?

Will the media Ellison now owns be America First or Israel First? How has the GAZA massacre benefited the US?

Turns out one of the victims of October 7th interviewed with a blood spattered face was also on Bondi beach being interviewed with a blood spattered face. Amazing isn’t it. Google shows that someone in Israel was looking up the names of the Perps on Bondi beach on Dec 9th. What a coincidence! Either way. False flag or pre-knowledge this is not good for America. Israel is already blaming Iran for Bondi beach. This is odd because Australia recognized Palestine earlier this year. Why would any Palestinian or Iran want to attack Oz? It is clear why Israel would.

Israel and its supporters think we are stupid and easily purchased. No more dual citizens and especially in politics. AIPAC and other such organizations need to register as foreign agents. Don’t vote for anyone who takes the ticket and bends the knee. Just the beginning of the steps that are needed.

wayne: I find your hostility to Bari Weiss’s effort at CBS News to be unseemly and misguided. Who cares that she happens to be a lesbian? It is irrelevant and inappropriate to bring it up.

Did you watch the townhall? Weiss conducted a remarkably open-minded and civilized discussion, allowing Erika Kirk to express her position without the typical modern news effort to attack emotionally on petty grounds. It is this kind of tv journalism we need, and if Weiss is leading the way I say all power to her.

Fortunately, she’s defending it despite Wayne’s displeasure.

Not my first choice to defend freedom of the press.

I also take note of Barri at CBS, and what she says she will do with the news franchise. I wish her well but Reagan’s words of TBV ring in my mind. Barri is a self-proclaimed liberal. How much of that is in the classical definition or the modern one will remain to be seen. Trust, once questioned, must be reliably, steadfastly, volitionally, thereafter verified.

That could also be spacecraft armor. I don’t just want fuel taken to Mars bound craft. I want Starship to carry tough cycler components.

I remember in the 1960s, every 5 years or so, the Soviet Union would “allow” some Jews to leave. I wondered why they couldn’t leave at other times. When I asked my dad, he kept it simple: “They are frakin communists.”

Dad had fought in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam as a pilot. Mom and dad never demonstrated or said a hateful word, but dad hated communists. He explained that the USSR was the prison camp, but no one could leave without permission.

Re: hatred of Jews. Haters are going to hate. Hatred of Jews is easy for those without a moral compass. They hate Jews because most Jews lead, or try to lead, a moral life. No, neither Jews nor Christians are perfect, but the love of God and of your fellow man get in the way of the those who follow the hateful path.

Rob Reiner guested in the 1976 ‘Rockford Files’ episode “The No-Cut Contract” on 16 January, along with Dick Butkus(!).

There is a website I visit daily, whose main focus is not politics. After the ’24 election, the site took a decided hard turn to the Left; every article was slanted against Trump. This is a site putatively focused on things, not people. One of the editors moved to England (and has since moved back), like a certain formerly famous ‘nice’ person. I stopped visiting, because it was just tiresome, and political rant had replaced information on the thing I was there for in the first place.

Apparently, I wasn’t the only one. This year, the site has mostly ditched the politics, and has made a show of providing useful, informative articles. The emigrant editor leading the political charge has been muffled. I visit the site daily, now, because it has things I want to see. This is far from the only example. Money talks; you know what walks.

Tucker should have the people needed to check out the rumors before repeating them.

Candice has always been an attention seeker. She is just getting worse now to the point of idiocy.

Maintaining them never pleasant…patrolling a border…or discipling a child. The longer you put it off, the worse it becomes when you do have to put your foot down.

–as this weekend’s horrors demonstrated.

Kyle: Anyone who sees nothing wrong with someone saying that Churchill was the real villain in World War II loses my respect. And that’s just one example of Carlson’s drift into madness.

And I have never in my life understood the hatred of the Jewish people. By anyone. None of their reasons are logical. We are supposedly a more educated and intelligent world than we were 3, 4 or even 5 hundred years ago. More advanced. More understanding.

I just don’t understand an Arabic hatred of Jews after 3 thousand years. Nor how it extends into Islam which is not even 1500 years old.

I also don’t understand racial supremacists. There is only one race, the human race.
And its all over the world in one form or another. Not just in America.

The Reiner deaths are a tragedy. I never liked the mans philosophy but his family should never have had to go through that.
If it was because of drugs the son will live with the guilt the rest of his days. If it was because of insanity maybe he will never understand why he did it or even remember he did it.
We need to lock up drug addicts until they are clean and we need to bring back insane asylums(mental facilities) to help cure the reason they do the drugs. Its better than leaving them homeless begging on the streets.

Oh, the piscatology! Have you seen Koi? I do not think overfeeding is possible.

CBS has always been a bit more sleepy on zealotry as compared to MSNBC…being almost as fossilized as I am :)

I seem to remember them being their nastiest back in the 1990s.

Say what you will of Robert Reiner’s politics, I don’t think there was a human being on the planet who was as friendly and ebullient–not even poor Robin Williams…the only other celebrity whose death crushed me like this has.

Oh, bloody period.

It’s that other Washington state billionaire, Jeff Bezos, who owns the WaPo.

Bill Gates, is, in all probability, hiding out in an undisclosed location to avoid vengeful Greens looking to punish his recent Climate Change[tm] apostasy. The Green Left takes a very Islamic view of apostasy.

And kudos to the free enterprise system. It was Paramount taking over CBS and forcing the hire of Weiss to try to get better ratings and therefore more ad revenue that made this happen. Any rational management would recognize that programming for only one part of their audience is a losing proposition. Bill Gates is reorganizing the WaPo for the same reason. The leftist staff at these outlets are not happy, but there are plenty of people to replace them if they leave.

Rush Limbaugh often asserted that the Drive-By Media drives the Democrat agenda.

Any novice, rookie democrat could just read the New York Times / Washington Post to “know what to think.”

I myself remember when there were “moderates” in the party.

No Mas

When Nancy Pelosi first became Speaker of the House, regular order (committees, subcommittees, carving out legislation) ceased. Pelosi closed her office door. She and her minions composed monstrous legislation (we have to pass the bill to know what is in it). The House of Representatives had, maybe, 36 hours to read the thousands of pages. Any democrat who did not vote for it would not receive any $$$ for their reelection.

What is different now is the access to all kinds of information (truth) that the Drive-By Media ignore or denigrate. That, and regular Americans just using common sense. That is why “What Is A Woman” became such a thing. The Leftist “leaders” no longer hide their insanity, or their hatred.

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

Dennis Prager, even after paralysis, still believes America is the last, best hope. We still can right this boat. If ever there was a place that embodies Hope Springs Eternal, it is here.

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW EVIL IN THE WORLD?

“I woke up this morning and the first thing I saw was this:

Rob Reiner’s son Nick in custody after horrifying murder of ‘Princess Bride’ director and wife

https://nypost.com/2025/12/15/us-news/rob-reiners-son-nick-in-custody-after-horrifying-murder-of-princess-bride-director-and-wife/

Now I am not a religious zealot nor am I a theologian but as I understand it God says that He / She / IT is with you in the darkest of times. You are not alone.

So, God in however you attempt to understand Him / Her / IT, and I do believe there is something rather than nothing. The human mind in my estimation is not able to fully and properly comprehend and understand exactly what that something is. And so, we / humanity fabricate rituals and symbolism in order to recognize and in some way connect with and honor Him / Her / IT / that Something.

The human animal is and can be very violent and evil and we must strive to in some way civilize ourselves in this dog-eat-dog reality that we find ourselves manifested in. This struggle and competition which defines existence insists that something must die in order that you continue to exist. And that existential violent tendency can and does bleed over (no pun intended) into how we struggle to civilize ourselves and move positively into the future.

And in that existential struggle God tells you I am with you, you are not alone.

Hearing that Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered this morning cuts across all political and philosophical differences, I felt their terror and fear. Terrible, horrific and very sad.

God says, I am with you.

There is an evil and a natural violent component in humanity which reflects the existential struggle of existence, and we must always be on guard to recognize it and handle it in equal terms when necessary so we can all live in relative security and peace. This evil quality related to humanity was long ago recognized specifically by the Founders of America and they attempted to create a governing theory that Objectively dealt with that reality. Humanity is not populated by angels, evil exists and God is with you when it rears its ugly head.

James Madison: “If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary”.
