On my tv 'current affairs' program 'The Bolt Report 'on Sky News now:

SuperBowl goes woke with two anthems

#####

One the "unofficial Black anthem" sung by the lovely Black lady in red.

Native Americans are 'First Peoples', they should get their own anthem and flag, and demand they take pride of place too...well everybody else is doing it!

I have a Black friend who worked the sound at Universal Studios for the theme park shows, his name is Keith Evans, and he helped to do the sound on the movie "Jurassic Park" and he worked with Spielberg. When I first started on my project and when it looked like Hugh Hefner was going to put up the money to make my movie, I contacted Keith Evans to see if he would do the Sound on my movie, my movie is a movie with a lot of music and having a great Sound Engineer is very important, and so I contacted Keith Evans. Keith thanked me for remembering him, and he said that he would love to do the Sound on my movie. Unfortunately I could not follow through on getting my movie made, it got stuck trying to get the Director, after Hef was already going to put up the money, then Hef backed out. But, I still have the script.

Anyhow, if you want to support Black people in the movie industry, then hire Keith Evans to do the Sound on your movie, he is a cool guy, and he is a Pro who worked with Spielberg. And he lives local here in Hollywood.

Salute,

Tony V.

Norfolk Southern has a history of lobbying against safety regulations. The publicly traded company, which has a market value of $55 billion, fought the Federal Railroad Administrations push to upgrade the Civil War era brake system that remains widely used in American trains, and against stricter rules on the transport of hazardous materials. (Meanwhile, its employees still lack guaranteed sick leave.)

Israel is "the Jews' last stand".
After the murderous horrors, barbaric torture etc of Jews in WW2...they've obviously decided to look after themselves first in this world. because nobody else will.
Which is all fair enough.
Israel decided long ago that it would build "fortress Israel".
Good move.

Something tells me Jesus would Not  spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benign.



Alexandria Ocasio Cortez criticizing  2023 Super Bowl ads from a non profit group called He Gets Us a movement to reintroduce people to the Jesus of the Bible and his  love and forgiveness.
The ads ask

What if we tried to love our enemies the way Jesus loved his? How would it change the tenor of our conflicts and our conversations?

AOC never explains  what the link is to fascism(if any).
But she does show total ignorance of Capitalism.
The ad cost $7 million and reached a Super Bowl audience of 113 million.
Ergo the cost per  thousand people who saw it was about 62$. Well within the range of any Super Bowl ad.
But.
Thanks to AOC running her mouth the ad will live on via YouTube, Twitter,. et al infinitum making the ad even more economical.

LOL!

Jesus is tearing down the temple of you white Christian nationalists. That is why he so abundantly blesses President Biden in all his efforts along with democracy, equality and liberation movements both in the United States and around the world.

You're welcome to your non White-majority run countries...like in Africa, Middle East, Mexico, Central America, South America, India/Pakistan, Asia etc.
When you rid the world of White people, best of luck with your massively overpopulated etc globe.
Luckily, I won't be around to suffer it.

White is an artificial tool of oppression.

Any religion that puts any people anointed above another is false.

Liar. The "movement" is an ad campaign. It is funded by the most reactionary, least loving and least forgiving elements of the Christian right. The "movement" funding the ads is the same "movement" that funds anti-LGBTQ movements.

In a tweet. Perhaps she trusted us to be smart enough to figure it out. I mean, not you, but us.
