BLUE PILLING it with Mrs. Peel & Cathy Gale

I'm Blue Pilling it with

The First Avengers

Emma Peel and Cathy Gale broke the mold.

In an era of "I broke a nail" housewife TV women, Peel and Gale were leather wearing, kick you in the teeth superheroes.

They opened the door. Many would follow in their footsteps.

I'm trying hard to ignore the news. So I took the Blue Pill and am binge watching DVDs of The Avengers. The British espionage television series, created in 1961, ran for 161 episodes until 1969.

The show featured John Steed (Patrick Macnee). His most famous assistants were the intelligent, sexy, stylish and assertive women: Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman), Emma Peel (Diana Rigg).

The Avengers was shown in more than 90 countries and made Rigg and Blackman international stars.

Of all The Avengers episodes my personal favorite was "The House that Jack Built." A high tech house that kept you prisoner, alive and also tried to kill you. The episode reminds you of the Twilight Zone. In my opinion the early black and while episodes were the best.

The Gateway Pundit reported that President Trump’s Florida home was unexpectedly raided by the FBI, and his safe was broken into on Monday night.

“It is prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024,” President Trump said in a statement.

“This illegitimate, corrupt Regime hates America and has weaponized the entirety of the Federal Government to take down President Donald Trump,” said Kari Lake.

In her statement, Lake declared, “we must FIRE the Federal Government.”

Jesse Ventura praises Hulu's "Prey" Predator movie

It was a "What the Fuck" moment

By Gary;

It was back in the olden days and my friends and I were near the front row in Hollywood to see something called Predator.

When it ended we all pretty much said, "What the fuck was that?"

We knew that we had just seen a classic that will last long after we are were turned to dust.

I have watched all the Predator films - - - quality and story lines vary, but all are entertaining.

Prey I must boost to #2 on the list of Predator films.

It has a fresh plot of 1719 America and the Indians coming in contact with aliens. The photography is beautiful and reminds me of Last of the Mohicans (1977).

Will it stay at #2? Who knows. I would watch it again but next time have a giant tub of popcorn in my lap.

(MSN) One of the stars from the original Predator movie is praising the latest from the franchise, Prey.

After the new film debuted on Hulu Friday, Jesse Ventura — the former WWE star who played Blain in the 1987 movie Predator opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger and later became governor of Minnesota — shared his thoughts on Twitter.

"#PreyMovie Great, great, film," Ventura, 71, wrote, then quoting a famous line from the original, "@AmberMidthunder you definitely ain't got time to bleed. Welcome to the Predator family. @DannyTRS Thank you for making a such a thoughtful, creative, and wonderful film."

Actress Amber Midthunder plays a young warrior named Naru in Prey, which takes place 300 years ago in the Comanche Nation. When the iconic alien creature lands on Earth for a hunting spree — with its high-tech weapons and the ability to be invisible — she and her tribe fight back. The action movie currently holds a 92 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Midthunder, 25, replied to Ventura on Twitter, "I just… I don't know how to.. thank you @GovJVentura!" And director Dan Trachtenberg, who also made 2016's 10 Cloverfield Lane, added, "Im on the floor. Thank you sir! Thanks for watching and so glad you appreciated what we did!!"

The Hulu film rated 8 out of 10.

A Little Monday Music - Judith Durham, RIP

Judith Durham, an Australian folk music icon whose voice graced several international hits with her group The Seekers, died August 5 of lung-disease complications at Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. She was 79.

Her death was announced by Universal Music Australia and the Musicoast record label.

The Seekers added Durham in 1963 and the chemistry of the group’s voices saw the four become the first Australian band to achieve major chart and sales success in the UK and the United States.

They sold more than 50 million records off such hits as “The Carnival is Over,” “I’ll Never Find Another You,” “A World of Our Own” and “Georgy Girl.”

California Drought Crisis MEANS NO FOOD!

And the Politicians are Clueless

The political hacks keep authorizing the building more and more water using homes and businesses during a drought.
California's population keeps increasing. The quality of life keeps decreasing.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has mishandled California's severe, years-long drought during his time in office, while the state's farms face diminishing yields, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told Fox News.

"I think Gavin Newsom has failed when it comes to water," McCarthy, who represents a district in California's Central Valley, said.

Regardless, farmers' yields and, consequently, their businesses, are suffering, said Sam Parnagian, a third generation California Central Valley farmer. Over one-third of the country's vegetables and two-thirds of its fruits and nuts are grown in California, according to the state Department of Food and Agriculture.

"You'll go see tens of thousands of acres that used to have nuts, almonds, pistachios, and they're just bare," Parnagian told Fox News. "It's just all dust."

Christian School Hosted Mandatory Drag Show In Place Of Church Service

Drag shows in church for kids

Now this is Evil

(Zerohedge) Would leftists actually target a Christian school church service with a sexualized drag show?

Of course they would.

Students at Manhattan’s Grace Church High School say they were supposed to attend Wednesday church services on April 27th, 2021 when they were greeted with a surprise substitution show featuring a dancing drag queen in orange go-go boots called “Brita Filter” (the symbolism of the stage name is unknown). The event was sponsored by “Spectrum,” the school's LGBT support club and members of the school faculty.

The students allege they felt pressured to participate and had to pretend they enjoyed the event. Some Spectrum club members tapped teens on the shoulders and ordered them to stand for the show, while others handed out pride stickers and stated “Take one or you’re homophobic.”

Other kids got involved in the show and began twerking in the chapel.

Said one student, “It’s notable that this person consistently called themselves fabulous and talented and beautiful. Not just once or twice, but over and over this person reassured themselves that way...”

The inherent narcissism of the pride movement is easily observed.

The school website details their pride related programs and Brita Filter's performance.

Beyond the obvious affront to Christian doctrine, the trend of sexualized drag performances for kids sponsored by schools has become an epidemic. Numerous schools over the past year have been caught secretly hosting drag queen shows without asking parents for permission.

The wider media exposure of these events has been met with attacks from leftists, claiming that there is no sexualization agenda in schools.

The gaslighting has been rampant and the goal behind trans indoctrination and school drag shows is openly admitted: It's about political activism and normalization.

Humans don't need the Devil

We create our own Hell on Earth

"Why do they blame me for all their little failings? As if I'd spent my days sitting on their shoulder, forcing them to commit acts they'd otherwise find repulsive. "Oh, the Devil made me do it." I HAVE NEVER MADE ANY ONE OF THEM DO ANYTHING. Never."
