I only watch Baseball and Hockey. Go Giants and Sharks. I'm still a voracious reader of mysteries and literary books. Boycotting the news networks and cable networks due to poor news coverage in 2024.
Mike Johnson & Gavin Newsom, do you know who these people are? I will give you a hint. They were tarred and feathered before WWI for their views. Yes, this was over 100 years ago. Are you shocked?

It's great to see the posts from people who enjoy AEW. Don't listen to the celebrity journalists who shame people who watch wrestling as well as the athletes who participate in it. Terry Funk was in Hollywood because of his matches and interviews in Florida Championship Wrestling.

"Part of what they need to be loud about is changing the economic story of America. It would be undermining that idea that private wealth generates wealth for all of us, that the government has no role in ensuring your economic security," says @monicapotts.bsky.social.

I thought I would bring back this video for the Mets fans and the players. The key here is the comments of how wonderful Dave Kingman was. Human nature is a funny thing especially after what he did to that female reporter.

Just wanted to mark the Equalizer as the last show I watched before my boycott of Network TV programming. Great show. Thanks for the memories. Queen Latifah, next time you think of a retread, remember Human Target. That was the show for you. It's on Tubi.

Jane Harman: Two resolutions asserting Congress’s constitutional authority to decide when the United States goes to war were defeated, largely along party-line votes.

As far as Woke programming is concerned, I have no interest in Rush Limbaugh since he created Woke. I'm still boycotting the network and cable networks over poor news and TV programs. This also includes Football & Basketball. In any case, I'm enjoying Hockey. Hulu is the best for it.

I am getting a lot of likes on my posting Tar Baby by Toni Morrison. Well, she deserves it. She is a legend. I read Jazz twice and picked up my copy of Tar Baby to read next year along with Beloved from Libby. Anyway, I will continue to post important non fiction books and great music.

It appears that even (some of) Fox News has lost their patience with Trump's trolling: "If [Trump] is going to do it outdoors, just put the profiles up there. I am not for dispelling or saying anything bad."

Many years ago, my wife and I went to a museum. The speaker came out and said, you know, Jay Leno was right with street walking. We did the surveys and found that people do not know their history in the US so I wrote this book. To me, this is the tip of the iceberg.

NBC. You spent too much time parading celebrities and Taylor Swift instead of educating the public especially when you allow the remake of the Morton Downey show playing political theater and indoctrinating the public with lies. In other words, your commercials are annoying. They don't work.

I was surprised about the Mets. I'm not a fan but the truth is that we tend to watch the game so we don't have to think about the political theater with Rush Limbaugh rants from the President. Compared to the 49ers, I was a big fan for at least 20 years. I still remember Joe Montana & John Brodie

December 18, 2025 at 2:27 AM
So the political theater begins at 9:30 today? Nothing the President says has any credibility so why bother. I will read about it afterwards as long as the TV stations aren't used as a source. I hope he gets a loud run of boos. BOO. BOO. I Will play the national anthem at 9:30 and take a knee

Not that surprising once you think about it- who better to write great fiction than people who lived double lives for real? When authors were actual spies, the tension and detail hit different. #SpyHistory #Espionage #Writers #AuthorsOfTwitter #books #spythrillers
