George Noory: Gunning For America And Spreading False Facts

George Noory:  Gunning For America And Spreading False Facts


In spite of the fact that we had the same boring callers, George actually had a good show last evening with his guest Marc Zicree, writer and director, talking about his Twilight Zone Project and writing for Sci-Fi television.

Later in the night, chatting about the current state of COVID, George said, as if it was a fact, that the vaccine was not working.

At one point in the evening when asked if he had watched a particular television show he said that he had not because he spends most of his time listening to all of the news stations in preparation for his show.

So now we have it--he clearly included CNN in all of the news stations he listens to on a regular basis.

CNN is constantly having the experts on to explain that the vaccine is working very well but the issue is the folks that are choosing not to get the vaccine.

They go into detail often, several times a day to talk about the problems with COVID, the current state of the disease around the world and how to counteract this problem.

CNN has many experts on their shows to explain everything.

Why did George Noory say the vaccine is not working?

Does he have a hearing issue?

Maybe he does not want to hear the facts.

Is he promoting the ultra right wing agenda in order to pay the bills?

The ‘Meltdown’ Over Ben & Jerry’s from J Street

The ‘Meltdown’ Over Ben & Jerry’s


I’m a simple guy with simple likes and dislikes.

I’m a huge fan of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. Anything with chocolate.

I’ve had a lifelong love affair with Israel. My family’s from there. I’ve lived there. I’m proud of so much of what the country has accomplished.

And I can’t stand the occupation. It's just not right for Israel to rule over millions of Palestinians without full rights while it moves its own citizens onto land that one day must and should become the state of the Palestinian people.

My fondest hope is that Israel will be a secure, just, democratic national home for the Jewish people, something it can never be if it permanently holds the territory it occupied in 1967 without providing the people who live there with full and equal rights.

So when Ben & Jerry’s says it wants to sell ice cream in Israel but not in the settlements, that seems -- to me -- a rational and principled, even pro-Israel, position.

Click here to say American officials should protect -- not punish -- Ben & Jerry’s right to differentiate between Israel and the territory it occupies.

I’m blown away by the overreaction of those calling this decision “antisemitic.” Antisemitism is brutal and real. My family lost lives because of it. Jews around the world fear it on a daily basis.

Calling this decision “antisemitic” is absurd; in fact, it undermines and trivializes the critical fight against real antisemitism around the world.

And it’s equally inconceivable to me that people are calling for the company to face governmental retaliation for this decision.

J Street and I oppose the Global BDS Movement, which doesn’t recognize the state of Israel or the Jewish people’s right to a national homeland. But when a company says it will do business in Israel -- that’s not a boycott of Israel. 

Sharon, the over-the-top response to this decision (you might call it a 'meltdown’) is unwarrented and harmful.

Ben & Jerry’s decision is a legitimate, peaceful protest against the systemic injustice of occupation and a reminder that the settlements are, in fact, illegal under international law.

It’s a line in the sand between Israel and the occupation that ought to make sense to the overwhelming majority of Jewish Americans who support a two-state solution and oppose settlement expansion.

Our work at J Street is to make sure that the voice of this majority is heard loud and clear in moments like this.

That’s why we’d be grateful if you added your name to our petition.

And, by the way, if you’re going to buy a pint of Ben & Jerry’s, try my two favorite flavors together: Netflix & Chilled combined with Chunky Monkey.

Thank you for all you do,

Jeremy

The Owl: Discovery Park Seattle

 Walking at Discovery Park yesterday.......





Wondering if there was a youngster nearby.



A fellow walker recently spoke of being attacked by an owl at Discovery on more than one occasion.


About 20 feet from this imposing individual, thank you for the photo op, we will be on our way.
