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.

Data shows that “more than 60 percent of the people detained in at-large arrests since June did not have criminal convictions or pending charges.”
Right-wing media have relentlessly pushed the false claim that ICE is going after the “worst of the worst”
As Immigration and Customs Enforcement has expanded operations in major cities, right-wing media have falsely claimed their enforcement actions are focused on apprehending “the worst of the worst” cri...

Well, I heard on the Bulwark that the Network News and a cable news station blew a report on Davos. Lets see, that goes with Project 2025, Ukraine, Israel, ACA, Fake Border Videos, 2024 election coverage, and non compete agreements. Yes, lets have another celebrity interview. Happy I'm boycotting

I am listening to the audio book. This is amazing. I see how our President has turned back the clock over 100 years sending us to this dark time in our history. We can also thank Rush Limbaugh, Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, and crew at Fox News & Newsmax.

Moving on to another great book. So many great recommendations in the book review sections of newspapers and online publications. I just keep track of all this in Storygraph. Yes, I don't even bother with those TV book clubs.

Robert Crais is known for the Movie Hostage. After reading this book, I would say that I enjoyed it. Memorable characters like Joe Pike who seems like an assassin who was trained in the army along with the Elvis Cole who isn't afraid to mix it up against the bad guys with some martial arts.

I never work on Martin Luther King day and I'm not sorry that I missed the parade today because it's on one of the Networks. I am still reading Parting the Waters so I respect Martin Luther King Jr. He was a genius and a hero to me and this nation.

I saw these two in a movie theater commercial trying to be funny by giving reasons why people shouldn't see the movie. How about telling the truth: the other 6 movies were horrible and this one will be even worse if that is possible.

Also wondering where Trump derives the legal authority to impose tariffs on US allies because one of them is not willing to let the US steal its territory? Supreme Court is about to rule on tariffs. Will they sanction the use of tariffs as tools of territorial aggression?
Apparently the “survival of our planet” rests on whether Trump can annex a frostbitten island with 57,000 inhabitants that has been part of Denmark for hundreds of years.
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

So I'm watching the hockey game between the Blues and the Panthers and the announcer quoted Ric Flair by saying to be the man, you gotta beat the man. That's what this hockey game is about tonight. I feel the need to say something further.

Department of Justice officials resign because leadership refused to investigate the murder of Renee Good www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...
A new spate of Justice Department officials quit because their section didn't want to probe Renee Good's shooting
At least four leaders of the Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good.

It seems important to say that in this country, free speech has been challenged for decades but the garbage that is coming out of news stations like Fox news is beyond belief. Maybe they don't like women who have a mind of their own or anyone else for that matter.

Been thinking about looking out at swerve combat for bare knuckles fighting and mixed martial arts on Roku. I have thought about taking an interest in NASCAR and Soccer but the President likes them so no on that as well as the Olympics. Maybe I will watch Soccer when the Olympics are over with.

My night reading includes this book. Seems good although I'm not a Joseph Wambaugh fan. Maybe I will try him again. Elvis Cole seems like he has a wry sense of humor. I happen to like John Corey's sense of humor better in Nelson Demille novels although my wife gets mad when I use his jokes.

Another great show on Hulu. Much better than the free shows on the Networks.

"ICE is different. It needs to be abolished because the agency is rogue, and, more pointedly, because it’d be exceedingly difficult to design an agency like ICE that wouldn’t go rogue eventually." Strong @brianbeutler.bsky.social take. www.offmessage.net/p/abolish-ic...

So let's see, Monday night Raw or the Football Playoffs. NOT. I already saw the Wild beat the Oilers. So now I will watch HBO Boxing: Robert Guerre on vs Andre Berto. By the way, I don't subscribe to HBO. This is through Roku.

Avengers Doomsday. Really. It's no wonder that we ignore great books that can be a movie. Hey, I enjoyed the Avengers as much as anyone else but I was done after the last one. I don't even subscribe to Disney. Hope you enjoy it.

Since the TV Networks have horrible news coverage - along with the cable Networks - and poor television programs, it's time for me to watch alternative TV Shows: Episode 2 of Lowlifes.

@canuckfan16.bsky.social Saw the Canucks beat the Islanders. They also beat the Rangers and Devils. I never do a thumbs up so I say nice.

@canuckfan16.bsky.social Thanks. I'm watching the Canucks now. I hope they win this one.

I see all these previews of the NFL playoffs while I'm watching Hockey & Boxing. I don't miss it. Maybe I can think about the days of Joe Montana and John Brodie with my father. It doesn't happen that much. Back then, we didn't mix politics with sports like Football.

I have been reading this book. James Rollins at his best in 2007 with a great story about the potential of a pandemic. There is a lot of historical reference as well. And you have action and suspense with the Sigma team.
