Blue Bloods vs. Woke Culture

Original Article

Posted By: DVC, 5/1/2021 11:35:12 AM

Blue Bloods (BB) is a drama program on CBS that is in its 11th season and has been contracted to run for at least a 12th year. It is also doing very well in syndication. The star of BB is Tom Selleck, who plays New York City police commissioner Frank Reagan. The show centers on a family of New York City cops. But it is much more than just a multi-generational Irish family of cops saga. The BB faithful audience feels as if every BB show does not challenge their own beliefs, does not mock their values, and actually encourages and supports

Comments:

We have watched Blue Bloods from the beginning, maybe missed a couple of the first shows. It's always been pretty well done.
And I loved it when Frank was there when Erin was being held at knife point by a crazed killer. With his .38 snub nose, he helt the guy at gunpoint....the usual TV standoff where the good guy always gives up his gun.
Frank took the shot, right between the eyes. A great show in many ways, lots of great performances.

Never heard of this show, but not surprising considering I never watch the alphabet networks. Guess I'll give it a try.

Blue Bloods has a great storyline, which is much more realistic than any other alphabet show. Alphabet dramas are nothing more than lefty hollyweird propganda recycled ad nauseam. Blue Bloods has exceptional writers and is fresh in every episode. And, of course, there's Tom Selleck, a national treasure.

We always record it and watch it on the weekends, without the commercials. If you like good writing and acting, this is your show. It’s comfortable, challenging and exciting. It’s a glimpse into the real life of a good family.

Being a Tom S. fan I've watched it from the beginning. The only think I didn't like was when they killed off the son's wife over summer break. I suspect she wanted too much money for her role.

Blue Bloods is such a quality show. I agree with all the other fans here. Men act like MEN and I love Mr. Selleck.

#4, the actress who played Linda, Danny's wife decided she wanted to leave the show and told them at the end of season 7. The writers were stuck with a missing character....and wrote in her off-screen death as a bandaid to the story line at the beginning of season 8. Blame the actress, Amy Carlson.

Been a BB fan for years, really enjoy the show. Started watching because, hello, it's Tom Selleck 😏 , then realized the values presented & storylines are really good. We LOVE the family dinner scene, all together, saying Grace, having sometimes really heated disagreements avout timely topics. They never stop loving / caring / being a family. It's always heartwarming, educational & wonderful to see. "These characters always get to speak their point of view and are never silent." NOR are they silenceD - except for the episode when Frank went to speak at Nicki's college. That made my blood boil as it does when it happens to conservative voices in real life. "BB would seem more in place in the 1980s, ..." Actually the values presented are timeless & desperately needed in today's America. Sometimes the show gets close to indoctrination, but so far they've managed to keep it balanced. If it starts to go left I'll bid the Reagan family a fond farewell.

Blue Bloods is about the best show on TV, in my opinion. Tom Selleck is the perfect police commissioner. I’ve stopped watching other shows lately because they seem to be trying to force all kinds of weirdos down my throat and they don’t seem to represent most people in the USA. Please, Blue Bloods writers, keep up the good work.

I love this show, started watching from the beginning. The characters are very well done, well scripted and well acted. I worry that Tom Selleck will want to retire and that will be the end of the show. As a Catholic I am pleased that they use the official Catholic grace before meals.

Mask Rebellion at the Kentucky Derby 2 replies

The first Saturday in May has become a holiday of sorts to me. Every year, I make it a point to attend the running of the Kentucky Derby at beautiful Churchill Downs in Louisville. It’s a spectacle with all my favorite ingredients: family, friends, food, mint juleps, and classic Southern charm, all wrapped around the most exciting two minutes in sports. The people in the stands look gorgeous, dressed to the nines. The weather this year was 70 degrees and sunny. Right before the big race, the University of Louisville marching band played the time-honored classic “My Old Kentucky Home,” as they have since the 1920s.
The Democrats in the Era of Joe Crow 10 replies

The Democratic Party has always been a racist party. Any interested person who has studied the internal workings of this duplicitous faction is aware of its racist history, its elitist framework, its systemic arrogance, hypocrisy, and intellectual dishonesty -- and, more disturbingly, of its brightly lit scaffold of democratic pretensions. But the most disheartening effect of its propaganda is that millions are drawn to its superficial rhetoric of "social justice" in the hope of finding moral certainty in the sewers and waste pits of a despotic ideology of power. Racism is a structural injustice deeply embedded within the politics and language of the Democratic Party.

Long gone are the days when “politics as usual” meant Democrats and Republicans quibbling over policy preferences. Today’s divide is more existential than political, between two sides -- left versus right, progressives versus conservatives, statists versus classical liberals, however you want to phrase it -- who see the world in fundamentally different terms, almost as if they live in two separate realities. Okay, never mind the “almost.” Since a good pocket definition of “insanity” is “out of touch with reality,” each side thus thinks the other is literally insane.

Those who feel that “systemic racism” still exists in the U.S.A. today cannot give convincing examples of it and completely ignore the undeniable success of the South’s black civil rights movement. This struggle can be traced back to December 1955 when Rosa Parks, a black woman member of the NAACP, sat down in the “For whites only” area of a segregated public bus and refused to give up her seat. This spontaneous act sparked the growth of a massive movement within the black Christian churches to eliminate all forms of racial segregation laws in America. In time, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a black Baptist minister
Elon Musk's racket 4 replies

The big automotive news is that Elon Musk's Tesla reported record earnings of $438 million for the past quarter. This translates to 93 cents per share on $10.39 billion in revenue. Tesla did this despite a semiconductor chip shortage that is hobbling other car companies like Ford, which had to slash vehicle production at seven plants in North America. Some see this as proving investors right to give Tesla stock a nosebleed price-to-earnings ratio of nearly 1,700, and thus making Musk the second richest person alive if not the richest. Our betters also preach that the stock market portends the future.

The next target of mainstream media propaganda is to convince the public that human industry is causing climate change. CNN insiders boasted about that to James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas on hidden camera (after bragging about defeating Donald Trump’s re-election). Marjorie Taylor Greene is preparing to debate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. Some of us will worry whether the debate about the Green New Deal will focus on the most important points. There are a thousand issues and sub-issues. It is easy to get lost or sidetracked. I suggest laying the axe to the root: Humans have never actually measured the temperature of planet Earth.

For those who think now-former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter should be charged with a crime – let alone murder – I have a simple question: if a surgeon accidentally nicks an artery and kills a patient when she mistakes the scalpel in her hand for a prober, should she be charged with murder, or even manslaughter? Answer: no. After all, the surgeon did this thing we all do: she made a mistake. She had no ill intent, let alone malice. Despite the best intentions and protocols, it sadly happens on occasion, and especially in the heat of the moment during a pressure filled situation like surgery.

A murder suspect who was being extradited to Arizona from Georgia and escaped while handcuffed walking to a tram connecting to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has been captured, according to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office. Arizona murder suspect J'Saan Carlos Strover, 20, was taken into custody shortly before 11 p.m., after College Park Police received a tip that a man fitting Strover's description was seen walking down the street, barefoot with his hands behind his back, the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post. College Park Police used night vision technology to locate the fugitive after he ran into nearby woods when spotted by a responding patrol car, according to the post. CORRECTION*

According to the Associated Press: SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California public schools have experienced a sharp decline in enrollment this year as the pandemic forced millions into online school, according to data made public Thursday. The drop came as the state's school districts dawdled in bringing children back to the classroom, making California one of the slowest in the country to reopen schools.

A global political realignment is underway, detaching workers from the Marxist left that ostensibly was created to serve their interests. Delusional leftists who have demonized Donald Trump for the last five years are wrong if they think installing Joe Biden/Kamala Harris in the White House will stem the political realignment that has brought millions of working-class Americans into the Republican Party. They may believe that Trump hypnotized former members of the Democrats' base into supporting more conservative and nationalist policies, but it is becoming clear that Trump recognized forces at work globally driving those who work with their hands away from the Marxist left, and brilliantly captured

Bill and Melinda Gates have had a decades-long agreement that the Microsoft boss could vacation for a long weekend at the beach every year with his venture capitalist ex-girlfriend. The odd arrangement raises eyebrows now that one of the richest couples in the world are going their separate ways after 27 years together and building a $130billion fortune. Bill, 65, and venture capitalist Ann Winblad, 70, dated in the 80s but broke up in 1987, the same year he met future wife Melinda. Ann was reportedly more ready for marriage than Bill as he worked day and night to build his billion-dollar Microsoft empire.

Failed special election Democrat candidate Jana Lynne Sanchez has sounded the alarm that 2022 “could be a major setback” for Democrats if they lose their slim majority in the House of Representatives. Sanchez, after not receiving enough votes last Saturday to make the special election runoff, has a very strong message for the Democrats. Sanchez lost by fewer than 400 votes to come in third place. Republican candidates did extremely well, edging out the rest of the field. Sanchez said the Republicans received an overwhelming majority (62 percent) of the total voters.
