Jake:
I was only 2/5’s listening to the critique but what i heard was shameful and lazy and BS.
Fret not. I Did the hard work of listening so that you and other thoughtful minds don’t have to. Only about 2/5s of the statements about New Atheism made sense.
Forget it, Jake. Great Britain and Continental Europe are Fishbowl World in a room full of Wokeist, Islamist, Christian Nationalist, and just plain Wanker cats, all with hooks baited and lines cast, waiting to catch any fishies who make Enlightenment gurglings.
With untold numbers of Brits getting arrested for social media postings, it shouldn’t be surprising that most Brits are intellectually subdued while online or on broadcast.
Here, Vice President J.D. Vance has a rare insight about the horrid record of free expression in Mediocre Britain and Incontinental Europe. However. with MAGA, every accusation is also a confession.
The Orange Emperor has threatened broadcast licenses and slowed down messages of Ukrainian freedom fighters, this means that what’s happening to free speech in Great Britain and Europe can also happen here or anywhere on Earth.
Speaking of broadcasting, I got a new TV that can pick up both HDTV broadcasts and multiple streaming services, all managed by remote control and without having to connect and disconnect antennae and streaming boxes. Ah, Progress!
One thing that is new and surprising to me from HDTV is a channel called JLTV–Jewish Life TV!
JLTV late at night shows Prisoners of War a drama about Israeli POWs who were held for 17 years and how they deal with their trauma now they are free.
JLTV also shows Fauda on a night I can’t watch which is a downer. They also have lots of documentaries on Jews going back to their Diaspora homelands. One on right now is Lubin’s Grodzka Gate. about the entrance to a Jewish Quarter in Poland from before World War II that is now an a education and cultural center. Strong and hard viewing!
The commercials are equally gut-wrenching and tear-jerking ones for some very worthy charities like Shriner’s Hospital for Children™, Make-A-Wish Foundation™, International Coalition of Christians and Jews™, Disabled American Veterans™, the Alzheimers Foundation™. An infomercial on Mercy Ships.™ Never have I seen so many back-to-back!
Fortunately, there is also lighter, happier viewing. There are Kosher cooking and travel shows, shows about fitness and meditation–complete with a Buddha statue, a show about Krav Maga,
There are also classic comedy shows featuring Soupy Sales, Jack Benny and Rochester, and I Love Jucy (“*Aha! Aha! Aha! Aha!* It’s just so Meshuggahnah, Lucy!”).
And The Beverly Hillbillies??? Huh???(Weeeell Doggies! Jed, Granny, Jethro, and Ellie Mae sure don’t look Jewish! 🤠👵🧑🏻👧🏼😉 And Flatt & Scruggs sure don’t sound like Klezmer!🪕🎻🎸)
To hear Antisemites talk, you’d think all TV channels were JLTV! This channel is decidedly unique and Antisemites are full of dreck! This channel is a definite Must-See!
