'Lucifer' the Most Popular Streaming Series of 2019

I am Binge Watching

There are too many shows, too many channels. But I clicked on Lucifer on Netflix and it is non stop binge watching.
There has not been a show like this ever on TV that takes on religion, angels and Lucifer as a hero.

Streaming has become increasingly popular over the past few years, and services have been creating more and more original content as people continue to turn away from traditional television.

According to TV Time, Netflix's Lucifer has officially been named the most-watched streaming show of the year, followed by Stranger Things and 13 Reasons Why. There's only one series that does not belong to Netflix on the Top 20 list, Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale, which sits at No. 6.

Lucifer centers around the devil himself, Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), as he heads to Los Angeles to run a nightclub and also acts as a consultant to the LAPD. The show premiered on Fox in 2016, and the network canceled the show in 2018 after three seasons. Netflix picked up Lucifer for Season 4, which was released this year, and the series was renewed for a fifth and final 16 episode season in June.

"We are so incredibly thankful to Netflix for resurrecting our show last season, and now letting us finish the story of Lucifer on our terms," showrunners Joe Henderson and Ildy Modrovich said, via Digital Spy. "Most importantly, we want to thank the fans for their incredible passion and support. The best is yet to come."

Season 5 will likely arrive on Netflix in 2020, though Ellis shared in a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show that the streaming service will drop the first eight episodes before taking a break, then releasing the final eight at a later date. Season 4 ended with Lucifer returning to Hell, and Henderson and Modrovich told Entertainment Weekly that they've already thought of ways to bring him back.

"We have a lot of exciting ways, and one way in particular, to do it that launches an awesome, awesome season 5," Henderson said. "We did spend some time digging into what we think can be season 5. We even have the first scene [of season 5], which is one of my favorite things we’ve ever come up with."

"Overall, when we approach a new season... we really try to ping it in a completely different direction," Modrovich added. "If everybody is speculating on one thing, we just try to think as a bats— as we can, as outside of the box as possible, so that people don’t get bored, so we don’t get bored. We do have an idea. It’s an idea that when it came up in the room, we went, 'Oh god, that’s crazy.' Then the more we talked about it, the more we went, 'and brilliant.'"

College pays students to report "Thought Crime"

(Newswars) - The University of Sheffield in the UK is to pay its own students to patrol thought crimes, one of which is the common complaint that everything is becoming a race issue, which the university considers to be a racist microaggression.

Yes, really.

“A university is to hire 20 of its own students to challenge language on campus that could be seen as racist,” reports the BBC. “The University of Sheffield is to pay students to tackle so-called “microaggressions” – which it describes as “subtle but offensive comments.”

According to the university, examples of these microaggressions include;

– “Stop making everything a race issue”

– “Why are you searching for things to be offended about?”

– “Where are you really from?”

– “I don’t want to hear about your holiday to South Africa. It’s nowhere near where I’m from”

– “Being compared to black celebrities that I look nothing like”

In other words, pointing out that people play the race card to avoid having to defend their opinions and that ‘offense’ culture is out of control is now itself a subtle form of racism.

You’ve got to hand it to them; Not only have they seized control of language, they’ve also banned your ability to question why they’re doing so.

“Sheffield University is paying students to spy on their peers and report any “microaggressions,” comments Andrew Doyle. “One example they give is “Why are you searching for things to be offended about?” Given this sinister Stasi-like initiative, that’s a very good question.”

Arizona Bill Would Require Conviction Before Asset Forfeiture

A Blow Against The Police State

PHOENIX, Ariz. – A bill prefiled in the Arizona House would reform the state’s asset forfeiture laws to prohibit the state from taking a person’s property without a criminal conviction in most situations. The proposed legislation would build on important reforms signed into law in 2017.

Rep. Bob Thorpe (R-Flagstaff) filed House Bill 2149 (HB2149) on Jan. 9. Under the proposed law, Arizona prosecutors would not be able to proceed with the asset forfeiture process without a criminal conviction.

HB2149 is similar to another bill prefiled for the upcoming session (HB2032)

An AZCIR analysis in 2017 found that Arizona agencies seized nearly $200 million in property between 2011 and 2015 from people who may never have been charged or convicted of a crime.

In 2017, Gov. Doug Ducey signed a bill into law that enacted modest reforms to the state’s forfeiture laws and closed a loophole that enabled prosecutors to circumvent state laws by passing cases off to the feds. HB2149 would build on the foundation set in that law and further reform the state’s asset forfeiture process.

In 2017, the legislature increased the evidentiary standard necessary for the state to win a forfeiture case. It also took a big step toward closing a loophole that allows state and local police to get around more strict state asset forfeiture laws in a vast majority of situations. This is particularly important in light of a policy directive issued in July 2017 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions for the Department of Justice (DOJ).

‘Wax My Balls’ Trans Activist Repeatedly PUNCHES Reporter

The Insane Roam The Streets

The infamous “wax my balls” activist Jessica Yaniv has been caught on camera repeatedly punching Rebel News reporter Keean Bexte.

Yaniv is a Canadian trans activist who has repeatedly filed far fetched lawsuits against female estheticians who declined to wax his male genitals.

In the alarming footage, Yaniv can be seen physically assaulting the reporter and following him while demanding that he get away from her.

Following the incident, Bexte tweeted the video and wrote, “J. Yaniv just punched me in the back of the head. Just spoke to police. Luckily there are two security cameras directly overhead at the courthouse. I need an advil.”

“Yaniv is out of control — and the courts and police continue to cover for him. If this is how he abuses people when he knows cameras are rolling, one can only imagine what he does to those poor immigrant women he corners in their waxing salons. He’s a bully — but only because the courts and cops are afraid of being called ‘transphobic’. No single person, however, is doing more to discredit the trans political agenda than this predator, who is so obviously gaming the system,” Rebel Media founder Ezra Levant told the Gateway Pundit following the attack.

A Little Monday Music - Ringo Starr

Ringo and wife Barbara Bach

Starting The Week off on a High Note

I have decided to try and start each new week off on a positive high note. But being a glass half empty kind of guy I suspect things will turn into crap soon enough.

"Photograph" is a song by English musician Ringo Starr that was released as the lead single from his 1973 album Ringo. Starr co-wrote the song with George Harrison, his former bandmate from the Beatles.

A signature tune for Starr as a solo artist, "Photograph" became an international hit, topping singles charts in the United States, Canada and Australia, and receiving gold disc certification for US sales of 1 million.

Every time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
But all I've got is a photograph
And I realize you're not coming back anymore

'Stop building new homes' says Elizabeth Warren

Me Heap Big Socialist

(The Gateway Pundit) - Liz Warren told Morning Joe this past week that she is willing to ban construction of new homes if the home is not “carbon neutral.”

Does she even know what she’s talking about?

Liberal lunatics like Liz Warren, the former Harvard law professor, believe you can build a home in 2020 in that does not use coal, oil or gas for heating or cooling.

These people are truly nuts.

Western Journal reported:

If your home isn’t carbon neutral, Elizabeth Warren might not let you build it. And if that means no new homes get built, she’s OK with that.

In an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday, the Massachusetts senator and fading presidential candidate talked about her Thunberg-lite plan to help end climate change. (Climate crisis? Catastrophe? What are we going with these days?)

During her appearance, Warren was asked what she’d do to “change the tide of U.S. policy on the issue of climate change” and acted as if she’d been thrown the softball of all softballs.

She promised “to do everything a president can do all by herself, that is, the things you don’t have to do by going to Congress.” This includes putting an end to energy mining and drilling on federal lands or offshore and “not having a coal lobbyist as head of the Environmental Protection Agency.”
