He'll probably cry and blame right wing cancel culture, in a way that kids fight when one says "that's MY toy, you're not allowed to play with it!!". I love that the right has decided that two can play at that game.

Why dont you try being funny Kimmel? People tune in to laugh, not be lectured to. He should also be reminded it wasn't that long ago he was what he preaches against, being a male chauvinist on "The Man Show" with Adam Corrola.

The reaction from the left the last time was insane. They blamed Trump, they blamed MAGA, they blamed everything but Kimmel's low ratings.

I suppose in a way blaming MAGA was correct. If all of the Trump supporters and any other conservative or libertarians who may not support Trump had watched Jimmy Kimmel's and Stephen Colbert's shows they wouldn't get cancelled.

But way would anyone want to watch a show where the host just belittled and made fun of you and the person you voted for nonstop? Who were the network idiots that decided to build a show that was only for liberals?

Even early on SNL was slightly biased to the left and it stayed that way up until the mid 2000's. About the same time that The Daily Show on Comedy Central stopped making fun of Democrats and only focused on Republicans. That's probably about the same time that SNL's Weekend Update segment went ultra leftist. And the rest of SNL soon followed.

I think there must have been some order given when Trump was elected that all networks focus on trashing Trump.

I think the only one who figured out that alienating his audience was a bad idea was Jimmy Fallon. After that order was given he began to push back on it and focus more on just trying to be funny. He still is on the left but conservatives can watch his show without being insulted for the entirety of the show.

I still don't watch Fallon because I mostly watch streaming shows and not network TV. Bur even most of those shows they shove liberalism down your throat. Some of those shows are just unwatchable.

There's some new Star Trek series that just came out and it is immediately crashing. I haven't seen it but I've heard it's woke just like Star Trek: Discovery was. Only 1,300 people watched the first episode with it's first airing. That's bad. They're just not learning their lessons. Go woke, go broke.

That's their stupid mindset. That's also why Angel Studios is doing so well now. Their Christian oriented but not all of their shows are Christian themed. They're just trying to make TV shows and movies that would appeal to everyone.

Libs probably won't ever watch anything Angel Studios produces because their extremely afraid to hear someone say Jesus' name with respect instead of it being used as a swear word. That's like sunlight to a vampire for them.

I find it very telling that all belief systems are supposed to be accepted and respected in America except for Christianity and Jesus who are to be mocked and ridiculed which tells me a lot about who should be worshipped, because when he comes back it's not going to be a nice guy and so the left should be afraid, very afraid.

The calamity that was supposed to happen was supposed to happen before that generation came to pass. It came to pass almost 2,000 years ago.

Rome has been long gone. Judea has never been liberated or revived by any Messiah, other than bar Kokhba in Jerusalem for a short while during that revolt before the final end of Judea.

"You're an atheist now?

I am a theist (without the a).

Jesus said he would return after a specific set of events would happen and those events have not all happened. It had nothing to do with Rome.

The Jews didn't return to Israel until 1947, that was just one of the prophecies about the last days. There's the wars and rumors of wars which started with the Civil War. Then there man's hearts would turn cold and that is happening now with the leftists around the world. The moon has not turned to blood.

And in the end, Jesus said no man knows, not even the angels knows when He is coming back, only His Father knows. So all of the signs and prophecies in the Bible said could have taken place. All of the prophecies in the Book of Mormon, all of Joseph Smith's and subsequent prophets prophesies, could all have been 100% been fulfilled years or decades ago, we still do not know when Jesus returns.

None of the prophesies were fulfilled before, during or after Rome. They didn't start being fulfilled until the Jews returned to Israel.

You said you are an atheist.

Jesus told his disciples he would return before their generation came to pass. I don't know, maybe there's some 2000 year old Apostles sitting around waiting for the second coming somewhere, but no. It didn't happen. He didn't do anything Messianic when he was alive, he hasn't done anything Messianic since.

The events are centered around Rome and its occupation of Judea. That's what Jesus was about, that's what Revelations was about later.

There was no Mormonism back then, and any attempts to verify anything ever stated in that book have failed. And I mean even simple things like places, rivers, animals, wheat. It's something Joseph Smith invented, and that's all it is. You can ask him yourself. What planet is he a god of? Surely there's some gold plates that the congregation is not allowed to see telling of his godhood.

You're exactly right. Also in 99.99999% of all TV shows and movies, if there is a Christian in the show, he's always the bad guy. The other common trope they put in movies these days are two guys talking in a stressful situation. One guy asks the other if he believes in God. The other one says No. And the first guy says, Ne neither. Sometimes they'll make some negative comment about God or people who believe in God.

That is not indicative of reality because the majority of people in this country and in the world believe in some type of supreme being and most believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, meaning they are either Jewish or Christian.

Better than that, pay attention to any war, scifi or any other kind of high stress movie with two (usually male) protagonists in a moment of resting between the stressful events of the movie, one will begin a dialogue about their belief in God.

If you can find a movie from the last 20 years with that common movie trope where one or the other says they believe in God, please let me know. That would be a shocker to me.

In 99.99999% of all TV shows and movies, if there is a Christian in the show, then they're in the majority because it is assumed that all characters are Christians, Christianity being the basic default religion.

The very few exceptions that are not Anglo Christians stick out and are otherwise pointed out if need be. Those exceptions are called "tokens." For obvious reasons.

You assume they are Christian, no one else does. Their actions in most movies are in opposition to God's commandments.

There is that one exception you mentioned. Black and sometime Hispanic Christians are allowed to be Christian in movies BUT they can only mention they are Christian or religious and they have to question their faith and most of the time they lose their faith.

I can't remember the movie but it was a historical movie about a man who motivation was based on his Christianity. The movie completely removed any reference to Christianity because Hollywood and the left HATES Christians, almost as much as they HATE Jews.

Father Gabriel. Was a priest. Who locked the doors. Of his church. While his parishioners. Banged on them. For him to let them. Inside. As they got eaten. Alive. By zombies.

And he still kept those doors locked while others also sought refuge or escape there. Lost his faith? He never had any.

But you are right, he was religious, as any Christian. That's the point of the character. His hypocrisy. His self-righteous hypocrisy.

"This is the Lord's house!"

"No, it's just four walls and a roof"

We're all Sheriff Rick Grimes, right? With Daryl Dixon skills to the rescue, right? We're never the Merle. Shane? Well maybe he went a little too far crossing lines, but Shane was badass, ooh, he was badass, he knew how to deal with this new world - so says the fandom.

That's how people saw the show. That's why so many liked Shane, because he is what they would do if that was the reality, a backstabbing self-serving murderer who left his dead friend alone in the hospital in a coma so he could go screw his wife. Most people are the Shane, because that is what they do, that is how they live, all the while wearing a deputy's badge.

Same thing with Father Gabriel, when it comes down to it, even the holy representative of God himself would betray his own flock just to preserve himself. That's the point of the show. The zombies aren't the monsters, the people are.

That's one single example.That he was black was just incidental. You said blackS and Hispanics.

Unbroken showed a guy getting cured of his PTSD at a Billy Graham Crusade and they left out the Christian part?

Sound about Freedom, where Tim Ballard goes Rambo and rescues 6,000 children? Too bad that never happened, even his company laid off that claim. Meanwhile, he sexually exploited women, trafficking them in order to rescue these 6,000 children that nobody else ever heard of while raking in tens of millions of dollars. Like something out of the 1980s with the Moral Majority pastors scandals.

You don't know about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion? How many times did I myself tell you about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion over the years? But you do remember that supposedly one time years ago I said I was messing with you, and you've been copping that line ever since. Yeah, sure.

A little refresher, according to the Protocols..., the Left are Zionist/Globalist proxies.

Yeah, lots. Like Woody Allen movies. And, um...

wha?
But hey, never mind my confusion, gimme some examples. I'll wait.

A historical movie about a man's Christianity which omits the Christian part of his Christianity. Sure, ok.
Just like you, I can't remember the movie either.
Neither can anyone else.

All the major studios had been started by Jews - and you can look this up - I mean, what part of Metro Goldwin Mayer do you not understand? In addition, there's 20th Century-Fox, Columbia, Paramount, Universal, Warner... Jews actually created Hollywood. Heck, they created the image of the white picket fence American home.

In addition to that, remember how Marlon Brando got blacklisted? Well the fact is, he was right. Name one negative stereotype of a Jewish person in the movies. And I don't mean the, aww, how sad, nerdy studious nebbish. They are negative stereotyped caricatures of just about every ethnicity in the movies. Except for Jews.

According to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as well as the Right Wing for over a century, the Left is a creation of Jewish Zionists. You even refer to it yourself all the time, how the Civil Rights Movement was a Communist one. That trope was a charge of it back then against it as a Zionist/Globalist vehicle. There's no way you can keep referencing that without knowing that.

Christian Science Network??? Is that such a thing?

"But hey, never mind my confusion, gimme some examples. I'll wait"

Did you ever watch The Walking Dead. Father Gabriel. Seth Gilliam is the actor who portrayed Father Gabriel. Gilliam is a black man. He was very religious when his character was 1st introduced. But it didn't take long into the series where he lost faith. The only thing he held on to was the tradition without the faith.

"A historical movie about a man's Christianity which omits the Christian part of his Christianity. Sure, ok.
Just like you"

It is just like me. I'm old. I can't remember crap. I can watch a movie I saw a year or more ago like it is the first time I ever saw the movie now. But I do have access to AI and I found it there. Actually there were two movies where that were based on a true story where the protagonist's religion was either never mentioned or it was mentioned in the end credits.

Unbroken. The story of WWII POW Louis Zamperini. It was directed by Angelina Jolie. The real like Zamperini converted to Christianity at a Billy Graham crusade in 1949. His Christianity helped him overcome his PTSD. Angelina Jolie said she took out his religion because she wanted to make it "universal".

The other was Sound of Freedom. Disney made the movie and shelved it for years. Then Angel Studios picked it up and aired it. It was about Tim Ballard (LDS) who rescued around 6,000 underaged sex slaves over the course of his years. Unfortunately the real Ballard was accused of sexually assaulting 6 women who were employees at his organization, Operation Underground Railroad. Ballard was never charged of anything but he has several civil lawsuits against him. I'm pretty sure that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has excommunicated him (i.e. kicked him out of the Church)

I know nothing about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

I know the studios were formed by people of Jewish ethnicity. My mom was a bit on the antisemitic side. However, I am not antisemitic. I don't care if Jews started the movie studios. My concern is that the left runs all of the studios now and their religion and/or ethnicity is of no concern. It is their political ideology, which clearly supersedes any religiosity they have.

There's a lot of comedies about Jews that are usually produced by people of Jewish ethnicity. They make fun of themselves. However, religious Jews are very very rarely even mentioned in movies.

A) It doesn't matter if they are famous or not.

B) The TV series, The Chosen. An exceptional movie that you probably missed called Truth & Treason. No one famous in it but the acting was very good. It is a true story about a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who was a German living in Nazi Germany. He posted anti-Nazi flyers all over the city he and his 3 LDS friends lived in. One of his friends was LDS and was also Jewish. The main character, Helmuth Hübener, who tried to start this movement was eventually captured and at 17 became the youngest person the Nazis ever executed. If you ever get a chance to see it is an excellent movie.

If Hollywood would have produced it, there would never have been any mention of his religion.

Movie/TV Star in Angel Studio movies are:
Neal McDonough, Kenneth Branagh, Oscar Isaac and Kelsey Grammer. There is a movie coming out this year called Solo Mio that has Kevin James, Kim Coates, Jonathan Roumie and Alyson Hannigan in it.

Angel Studios made Johnathan Roumie famous with his portrayal of Jesus in the series The Chosen. I am sure you have heard of The Chosen. It got ratings higher than nearly every other streaming series that Hollywood ever produced.

There's a lot more movies that Angel Studios streaming service shows that were produced by other movie production companies that have other famous actors.

WRONG. Do some research. It is NOT run by members of the LDS Church.

So when did you become Christian? What is the criteria for being a Christian? Who decided this criteria? The is no criteria mentioned in the Bible about what you must or must not believe, do or not do to be considered a Christian.

The Chosen is a TV series that started in 2017 on Angel Studios. But you know that because you're just messing with me.

I take it you weren't around in the 90s? The Bill Clinton '90s? Be thankful, the only good thing about that error (yes, error) was the comedy centered around Bill (that's Hillary's husband for the members of the viewing audience who do not know). Although it was pretty funny, so it almost made the politics of the decade worthwhile.

My nightly dose of Conan O'Brien thoroughly trashed the heck out of Clinton. Thursdays were the highlight of my week, particularly fabulous, with 'via satellite' interviews with the President. Fake of course, they had an actual picture of Bill superimposed on a pair of lips of someone else that moved, doing the talking.

You need to vary your sources. Your constant sticking into the Right side of this bogus Left/Right paradigm is a bit restricting. Starfleet Academy had a lot more viewers than that, and a majority of them were trashing it not because it was 'woke' (yeah I did see that article, I didn't bother reading it though), but because, first off, like the rest of the Paramount+ Star Treks, it sucks, and in this case it's like a high school kiddy drama, or like somebody put it and now I wish I had copied the whole quote to get the person's name to give him credit, "CW level interpersonal fluff drama drivel." I read an article the other day that said something to that effect as well.

I've heard previous Paramount+ Star Trek shows described as "Star Trek and name only," and besides that the plethora of them is doing wonders to wear their appeal out. Just what they did with Klingons and discovery was enough for them to not even bring them up again till Academy. They went from one extreme to another, and this one just totally cringe.

I didn't watch it, I don't watch any of these as I don't have Paramount+ nor do I intend to.

Another factor in dropping viewership is a lot of people canceling their subscriptions after what CBS did to Colbert..

Did you watch Starfleet Academy? It was pretty good, a lot better than I thought it would be. I wasn't one of the 1,300 who watched it when it was first available. I think too many people got burned by how lame Star Trek: Discovery was. Many of the same people that were in Discovery are in Starfleet Academy so I can see why they were concerned.

I do have Paramount+ and there is a Star Trek that is almost as good as the original and Next Generation. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is good most of the time. This Star Trek is a prequel to the original series. Captain Pike is the captain of the Enterprise. They introduced James Kirk as one of the characters later into the series but he is not in any leadership position. Spock is the first officer under Captain Pike. Spock is played by the grandson of the actor Gregory Peck who got famous in the 1940's or 50's.

It was not uncommon for comedians to make fun of Democrats and Republicans (mostly) equally. They still were more biased against the right but it was cool when they made fun of Democrats.

Then when John Kerry ran for president the word went out to stop making fun of Democrats. John Kerry was comedic gold. He was such a dufus that comedians could have made fun of him for years and not run out of material. That is about the time comedy died. If there was any kind of comedy it either had to lampoon Republicans or it had to be a black comedy. I don't mean a comedy about black people. Black comedies are dull and someone usually gets hurt or killed to be funny. I think they are comedies that people suffering from depression must like because they are depressing.

The ONLY one who was ever allowed to make fun of Democrats was Tim Allen. And ABC even threw his Last Man Standing show off the air because they had to control the narrative. Fox picked it up until it's popularity began to diminish. Now Disney owns Fox as well as ABC. And Disney stopped being about the family (all families) and begin to ONLY be about woke.

Colbert's problem was that his show was only for Democrats. If you cater so vocally to half the country, soon none of the country will watch the show. In addition, he's just not funny. He was marginally funny on Comedy Central but he wasn't so one sided.

So Starfleet Academy went from woke to pretty good. And all it took was one viewing. From you.

You act like nobody ever heard of Gregory Peck.

John Kerry? Are you kidding? Remember those 'via satellite' interviews I said that Conan O'Brien did with Bill Clinton? Check out the ones they did with John Kerry, look like his face was melting. Of course Kerry was a tad bit on the boring side, thus not as much fodder for comedy as Clinton. Didn't stop anybody from trying. Same with Al Gore. Perhaps you should I checked out other channels, as it seems you've put yourself in some sort of bubble and avoided them.

If it wasn't for you and an article I read sometime last year about Tim Allen, I would have never known anything about him and his political views. As I told you about that article before, it listed a bunch of stuff and described really nothing of significance indicating that he was maltreated and cancel culture because of his political stances. The fact that they were talking about the shows that he had them despite or regardless or who cares about whatever his party registration is. He had a TV show, 5 years later rating s slumped, it got canceled. It's not like the show's producers found out his deep dark secret that he was a Republican and therefore they nixed the show.

These things happen. He was in Galaxy Quest. I love that movie. I just passed an article the other day which I didn't get around to reading but which said that despite it bombing when it came out, it's developed a cult following and it's actually quite a good movie. It didn't fail because he was a Conservative. It just didn't do that well on the theaters. People like it now. I myself only got to watch it when it was on cable. Too late to make a sequel, but it has nothing to do with his personal political views. That's ridiculous. The guy wouldn't have a career if that was the case.

Good grief, he was doing stand-up in the 1980s. What other comedians for the 1980s are still around, Bill Maher and Joy Behar? Even the 1980s Queen of Comedy, Roseanne Barr, did a big whopping nothing in the decades between her show getting canceled and it getting revived again. Decades. And no, she was not a Conservative. She only went that route in more recent years just to get attention by riling people up as she always had done. Do you remember her antics during her decades off?
