Enco,

I don’t think Netflix’ tends to promote its content so that you would encounter it organically.

Well, normally. I’ll see streaming movies and series like the Yellowstone franchises and the Oppenheimer or Wicked movies cross-promoted and co-branded on boxes for different TVs.

Enco,

Fauda is a good series. Another one in that genre is Lioness. I am really enjoying that one. I think it is just Paramount though with a few episodes on Prime.

That’s a pity. Paramount has a great line-up, including every Star Trek series and every Star Trek movie, but I had too many technical problems with the service to justify…[Read more]

‘m kind of wondering: Could the fact that I had not heard of this series mean that Netflix is scared to promote it in the present zeitgeist?

Or could it mean that Wokeists/Palestinianists/Islamists/Toadies in the theater/critical journalist realm don’t want to review it?

Fauda is a good series. Another one in that genre is Lioness. I am really enjoying that one. I think it is just Paramount though with a few episodes on Prime.

I’m going to say something that’s gonna floor you!: I never heard of the series Fauda until now, much less that it had 5 seasons!

Netflix has had problem of affordability since even before Trump. It doubled in price when I had to drop it a few years ago (that’s a 100% rise in price translated to MAGA mathematicians.). The quality…[Read more]

Hamas has “achieved” nothing but repression and destruction and the only way to “Free Palestine” is to free it from Hamas as well as their Palestinian Authority rival Fatah.

BTW Enco i was ridiculing my own confirmation bias. It is nearly impossible to kill all of the time. We are human.

I was asking AI whether there was any intelligence. Not restricted to US intelligence. It seems AI interpreted my question that way or CHOSE to limit its answer that way. It would be nails in the coffin if we had knowledge of the documents/conversations among the high mucky much of terrorists. (Recently read about library of…[Read more]

Recall though, that U.S. Intelligence Community, didn’t foresee either the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993 or 9/11/2001, (not to mention Tiananmen Square, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the fall of The Berlin Wall, the end of Communism in the Eastern Bloc, the end of Apartheid in South Africa, etc. ad nauseum). So again,…[Read more]

United States intelligence assessments indicate that the main global core of the Muslim Brotherhood is not currently trying to orchestrate major…[Read more]

Yes, I doubt if Mr. Gray is ever the most colorful actor on the party scene. He probably belongs to some branch of the ‘reality based community’.

Ron Suskind would have really been the life of the party if he’d have just named the name of the one who made the quote, and he would have been really ‘reality based.’

The idea of progress is a dangerous lie.

Phew! Bet John Gray’s the life of the party!

Sunday Book Club: When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows by Steven Pinker.

Cue the Leonard Cohen, who, according to Neal from The Young Ones, is both alive and yet dead:

2026 is the year of saying two things at once that seem contradictory at first blush but really aren’t.

It has to be a bubble burster filled with excrement to believe so fervently in the German master race or in the living god Hirohito and then be crushed like an organ grinder monkey among killer chimps. I think that sentiment hits much harder when the counterpunch involves more than just Dear John letters. On other hand it can be done…[Read more]

The purpose however is at least in part to terrorize the populace. And listen it worked. Those groups changed for the better. Correlation or cause and effect? I have already indicated my opinion. Just like the counter terrorism measures applied in the USA ya have to ask whether those have been difference makers.

What I think worked was…[Read more]

War on drugs was misguided. War on terror is not. And again killing the terrorists is insufficient. Islam will continue to indoctrinate little ones into lives of terrorism. To see the acts of terror by Muslims as simply a reaction to western colonialism or…[Read more]

Glad to see that I am not the only one to acknowledge that The War on Terror is not over. Also glad you acknowledge that inhuman ideas such as those of Islam are the root of terrorism. I just wish the influencer set would put down the toys and albums on their shelves and get back in the intellectual fight.

To put it succinctly, if Jihadis are attacking the U.S. and our allies, and if we are fighting back, The War On Terror is not over and we haven’t won.

No matter what accomplishments we made against the Jihadis, nothing less than total victory is acceptable against Jihadis seeking totalitarian rule of the entire Planet.

The Biocharger looks like it would make a great improvement design on the roller grill at the Quik Trip gas stations.

Well, I found video of Tod Lindberg with Jon Podhoretz and Abe Greenwald on this very article above. No signs of distress, just a bunch of oblivious drivel with the sense of awareness and urgency of chitter-chatter about schmatta, schmatta. Schmatta like you find over the corned beef at a deli.

He contradicts himself. Can’t forget the “con” part. Someone at the Editor’s office of Commentary must be asleep. That, or maybe the office is being held hostage by Antisemitic activists and somebody’s trying to “blink” a distress signal.

Problem is, The New York Times is so concerned about it’s paywall while shilling for Mamdani and not wanting anyone else to make money. Kinda undermines any talk of ethics and morality, especially the Reciprocity Ethic.
