"Prayer for Jimmy Kimmel's Heart"
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." — Romans 12:2

A Prayer πŸ™ for Jimmy 

O Lord of mercy, God of grace,
Look down upon this troubled place.
A host who once brought laughs & cheer,
Now speaks with anger, pride, and fear.

We lift up Jimmy, once so kind,
Restore his heart, renew his mind.
Let truth, not rage, his voice inspire,
And cleanse his soul with holy fire.

When satire turns from light to flame,
Remind him, Lord, why laughter came—
To heal the wounds, not make them deep,
To sow what hearts in sorrow reap.

May love replace the mocking tone,
And grace be seen in words he's shown.
Let wisdom reign where tempers burn,
And through Your Spirit, hearts return.

Give him the courage, Lord, to see,
That mercy births true liberty.
That unity can still be found,
Where faith and kindness both abound.

Let every jest and every line,
Reflect a heart that's more divine.
A servant's voice, not one of scorn,
To lift, not tear, where hope is worn.

O Jesus, shine through screens so bright, πŸ“ΊπŸ“‘πŸ™✝️❤️
Turn bitterness into Your light.
For fame and power fade away,
But truth and love will ever stay.

We pray he finds that sacred peace,
Where hate and malice truly cease.
And may his show, so sold & cold,
Become a hearth where hearts unfold.

Lord, guide him back to center true,
To see all souls as loved by You.
For when his laughter springs from grace,
The world will see Your smiling face.
🌎🌜🌝✝️
Amen.

When Ads Cross the Line: From Jingles to Gross-Out Marketing πŸ‘ŽπŸ˜‘

πŸ“– “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” — Proverbs 31:8

When Ads Cross the Line: From Jingles to Gross-Out Marketing πŸ˜‘πŸ‘Ž

There was a time when commercials were creative, even pleasant to watch. They had catchy jingles, clever humor, or memorable characters that made you smile instead of cringe. Advertising once aimed to entertain while informing, and the whole family could watch together without feeling uncomfortable.

But today, things have changed. Especially online—on podcasts, YouTube, and alternative platforms—we’re seeing what could be called “gross-out” advertising. These are ads that go into unnecessary and graphic detail about the human body: bowel movements, gas, colon cleanses, prostate health, and even erectile dysfunction. They talk about bodily functions with an in-your-face bluntness that feels more like bathroom humor than advertising.

For many of us from the old school, this is a real turn-off. These ads don’t make us want to buy their products—they make us want to turn the volume off.
---

Why So Many Gross-Out Ads?

πŸ’₯ 1. Shock Value in the Attention Economy

We live in an age of overstimulation. Everyone’s fighting for attention, and advertisers have learned that shock—even disgust—can momentarily grab it. They believe that if you stop scrolling or perk up your ears, the ad “worked.” Unfortunately, this approach confuses attention with persuasion. Just because people notice an ad doesn’t mean they respect it—or will buy the product.

πŸ’Š 2. Rise of Direct-to-Consumer Health Products

Many of these ads promote digestive aids, probiotics, colon cleansers, prostate supplements, and ED pills. These products often bypass traditional medical or regulatory channels and are sold directly online. Without strict oversight, the advertisers use fear and embarrassment to push sales. The pitch is often the same: “You might have this problem—and you need our product now.” It’s manipulative, and it preys on human insecurity.

πŸ“ˆ 3. Algorithmic Targeting

Most modern ads aren’t chosen by people—they’re chosen by algorithms. If certain audiences click on or engage with these “gross” ads, the platforms interpret that as success and keep showing them more widely. Even if 90% of people hate them, that small 10% that clicks keeps the machine running.

🎡 4. The Death of Charm and Creativity

In earlier decades, advertisers had to appeal to everyone—families gathered around one TV set. So ads were designed to be fun, catchy, and inoffensive. Think of jingles like “Plop plop, fizz fizz” or “I’d like to teach the world to sing.” Today, online ads target narrow groups. They don’t care if they alienate most viewers, as long as a few people convert to buyers. The result: less art, more noise.
---

The Christian View: Guarding Our Eyes and Ears

From a faith perspective, this isn’t just a cultural decline—it’s a spiritual one. We’re told in Scripture to set no wicked thing before our eyes (Psalm 101:3) and to fill our minds with what is pure and lovely (Philippians 4:8). When the world around us grows crude, Christians are called to maintain discernment and grace.

We can’t always control what flashes before us, but we can choose how we respond. Skip the ad, report it, or support platforms that uphold decency. Every view, click, or purchase sends a message. By rewarding content that is wholesome and edifying, we make a quiet stand for virtue in the public square.

It’s tempting to just complain—but it’s better to model the alternative: speak cleanly, advertise truthfully, and live in a way that uplifts rather than degrades. When the culture becomes coarse, our example becomes our protest.

Why These Ads Persist

If most people dislike them, why do they keep running?

Because a small number of “clicks” makes them profitable.

Because algorithms reward engagement, not ethics.

Because many advertisers value speed over substance.

The modern ad industry confuses “viral” with “valuable.” But for millions of people, especially those who value modesty and good taste, these ads are not just unpleasant—they’re a sign of cultural decay.

What We Can Do About It

πŸ—£️ 1. Write to Congress and Regulatory Agencies

You can write your members of Congress, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to express concern about indecent advertising. Congress cannot censor ads directly, but they can pressure agencies to investigate misleading or obscene content. Complaints about “gross-out” health ads can help enforce existing standards for honesty, decency, and suitability for mixed audiences.

πŸ’» 2. Support Decent Platforms

Choose media that respects your values. Subscribe, donate, or share content from family-friendly and Christian creators. At the same time, avoid interacting with ads you find offensive—even clicks can feed the algorithm and increase exposure for crude ads.

🚫 3. Report and Filter Offenders

Most online platforms allow users to report ads as inappropriate. Multiple reports can reduce visibility. You can also use ad-blockers or custom filters to block categories like digestive, prostate, or ED ads.

πŸ•Š️ 4. Promote Family-Friendly Media

Faith communities, churches, and Christian organizations can encourage wholesome media. When audiences favor content that honors decency, advertisers follow. Building a market for high-quality, moral content is a proactive way to change the culture.

✉️ 5. Advocate for Legislative Change

Petitions or campaigns can bring attention to issues of indecency in advertising. Focusing on public protection, truthful claims, and family suitability can gain bipartisan support without directly invoking censorship.

❤️ 6. Maintain Your Witness

Respond with dignity and grace. Our goal isn’t to shame or attack, but to uplift the cultural tone. Each decision—what we watch, what we click, what we share—becomes a quiet testimony of values in a world increasingly obsessed with shock and crudity
---

In Conclusion
The shift from catchy jingles to crude health and bodily-function ads reflects more than a marketing change—it reflects a cultural and spiritual challenge. But Christians, families, and thoughtful viewers are not powerless. Through discernment, action, and principled choices, we can push back on indecency, support wholesome alternatives, and remind the world that dignity, modesty, and respect are timeless.

The Covenant movie by Guy Ritchie should have gotten some nominations but because it critiques Biden, it didn't

πŸ“– Bible Verse: "For the Lord is a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he." — Deuteronomy 32:4 (KJV)

The Covenant does carry undertones critical of how the U.S. handled the Afghanistan withdrawal, and some people believe that may have made the film less appealing to Hollywood's generally liberal establishment.

While there's no direct evidence that political bias officially influenced the Oscars' decisions, it's true that Hollywood culture leans left, and films that align with prevailing narratives often receive more attention. Movies that challenge those narratives, even subtly, sometimes get overlooked regardless of quality.

Guy Ritchie's film focused on personal honor, moral debt, and accountability—themes that resonated with many military families but weren't loudly championed in mainstream entertainment circles. So while politics may not have been the only reason, it likely played a role in The Covenant being quietly sidelined despite its craftsmanship and humanitarian heart.


Based on reality after the Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco by Biden πŸ‘Ž: Guy Ritchie's "The Covenant" excellent πŸ‘

https://youtu.be/ztgAmv0jqxk?si=Qs8DDyEpQkMDLbAc 


πŸ“– πŸ“– Bible Verse: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." — John 15:13 (KJV)

Guy Ritchie's The Covenant (2023) is a gripping war drama set during the U.S. conflict in Afghanistan. The film follows U.S. Army Master Sergeant John Kinley (Jake Gyllenhaal) and his Afghan interpreter Ahmed (Dar Salim). When their unit is ambushed by Taliban fighters, Ahmed saves Kinley's life through an incredible act of courage—dragging him across miles of perilous terrain to safety. After returning home, Kinley discovers that Ahmed and his family are being hunted by the Taliban for helping American forces. Burdened by guilt and honor, Kinley embarks on a personal mission back into Afghanistan to rescue Ahmed before it's too late.

The movie explores themes of loyalty, moral duty, and redemption, portraying the unbreakable bond between two men from different worlds united by mutual sacrifice. Ritchie delivers a grounded, emotionally charged story—eschewing his trademark flashiness for gritty realism and heartfelt tension. The Covenant stands as a tribute to Afghan interpreters who risked their lives to aid U.S. soldiers, highlighting the moral debts left unpaid by war.

Following the Biden administration's chaotic 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, countless interpreters like Ahmed were left behind, hunted, and many killed by the Taliban. The rushed exit shattered U.S. promises of safety, turning allies into targets and deepening the film's message about moral responsibility and abandoned honor.

You can make excuses for it, but basically the [film is] an apologia for radical left-wing terrorism, that's what it is," said Ben Shapiro, who predicted the film will win "all the Academy Awards" due to its politics. "It has the subtlety of a brick … The basic suggestion is a conspiracy theory in which the United States is run by white supremacist Christian nationalists and all people of color and a few nice incompetent fellow travelers like [DiCaprio's character] are going to take on that entire system. And that system must be taken on at the cost of family, at the cost of friendship, at the cost of decency, at the cost of basic human capacity for success.

Aww 😒 ''Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban split: Superstar couple separate after 19-year marriage "| Daily Mail Online

10.5.25 ChatGPT: "The 100 % movie tariff is not yet in force — it remains an announced proposal under consideration.

"No — as of now, the 100 % tariff on Hollywood films made outside the U.S. is not fully enacted. It's still in the proposal/threat stage. 

Here's what the current status is and why uncertainty prevails:


---

What's been announced

In late September 2025, Donald Trump declared that he would impose a 100 % tariff on all films produced outside the United States and imported into the U.S. 

This is not a new idea — Trump first floated the idea earlier in 2025 in social media statements, citing concerns that foreign incentives are drawing U.S. film production abroad. 

Trump said he was authorizing the Department of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to begin the process of implementing such a tariff. 



---

What isn't in place yet (or is unclear)

The White House and relevant agencies have not made any final decisions. 

The legal basis, enforcement mechanisms, and how the tariff would apply (especially in today's digital/streaming world) remain vague. 

It's not clear how to define a "foreign-made" film in a globalized industry: many films are shot in multiple countries, have mixed production credits, or rely on international post-production. 

No starting date for implementation has been established. 

Given the complexity of film as both a goods + services / intellectual property product, it's unclear how a tariff (traditionally a goods import tax) would square with existing trade law. 

---

Bottom line

The 100 % movie tariff is not yet in force — it remains an announced proposal under consideration. The White House has acknowledged the idea, but the agencies and Congress still must figure out how (or whether) to implement it, and legal, logistical, and technical challenges remain. 

If you like, I can dig into whether Congress or courts have weighed in already or whether this is likely to move forward. Do you want me to check that?

Since I'm actually traveling through this area- I'm about 5 mi from the Bohemian Grove and the Bohemian club which is usually closed most of the year except for those two weeks mentioned in this documentary in the middle of July so it's September right now.  I won't be going in and I couldn't go in even if I wanted to unless I got invited or if I became a member and becoming a member is some sort of secretive process sometimes it takes years apparently to get on the list. 

Not that I want to anyways but I was interested in maybe seeing inside because Alex Jones has made it a very interesting place and apparently a lot of politicians and names you might recognize have come here over the years. 

And Alex Jones presents it as kind of a suspicious place. I don't know what to think really. I mean maybe it's just weird. Maybe it's just a place for these guys to blow off steam in a nice area of the redwoods not far from the Pacific Ocean etc. 

or maybe it's something more nefarious as Alex Jones suggests. Judge for yourself. watch this clip or watch the whole film if you search for it I think you can find the whole thing online on YouTube .

Did you get that? Tom Hanks is saying American troops were and are racist murderers whose sole goal is to kill people because they are "different"?

What a total schmuck.

The Japanese initiated America's entry into World War II by launching an unprovoked attack against the American military at Pearl Harbor, killing 2,403 Americans. America had two choices: Say, "Oh, that's fine," or "We will destroy you." Fortunately, back in the day, even Democrats refused to take an attack like that lying down.

Sinclair Broadcasting, the nation's largest group of ABC affiliates, has just come out swinging against Jimmy Kimmel after his disgusting comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination.

In a memo released on September 17, Sinclair made it crystal clear that ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel isn't enough. They want him gone."

"The late-night dude "made several remarks about the reaction to the conservative activist's assassination, including that "many in MAGA land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk"
 

"During his Monday evening monologue, Kimmel suggested Kirk's alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, might have been a pro-Trump Republican. "The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said. "In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving."

Authorities say the 22-year-old grew up in a conservative household in southern Utah but was enmeshed in "leftist ideology." His parents told investigators he had turned politically left and pro-LGBTQ rights in the last year. His voter status is inactive, meaning he did not vote in two regular general elections. He told his transgender partner that he targeted Kirk because he "had enough of his hatred."

wow ! True story , disturbing but some survived Watch "Alive" on YouTube

https://youtu.be/4ZViCIUrTnM?si=6oqonOWBCqJVSq_I 


"
Overview: Alive (1993)

Title & Plot
Alive is a 1993 American survival drama directed by Frank Marshall, based on the 1974 book Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors by Piers Paul Read. It recounts the true story of a Uruguayan rugby team whose plane (Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571) crashed in the Andes mountains in 1972. The survivors endured 72 days in extreme conditions, ultimately resorting to cannibalism to stay alive, until two of them trekked out to find help. 

Cast & Crew
The film stars Ethan Hawke as Nando Parrado, Josh Hamilton as Roberto Canessa, and Vincent Spano as Antonio Balbi. It was written by John Patrick Shanley and produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Robert Watts, with music by James Newton Howard. Nando Parrado himself served as a technical advisor on the production. 

Production Details
Although set in the Andes, filming took place in the Purcell Mountains of British Columbia, Canada, using a Fairchild F-227 similar to the real plane. The production strove for realism, involving one survivor and using accurate equipment and locations. 

Release & Reception
Released on January 15, 1993, the movie runs approximately 125 minutes. It earned about $82.5 million worldwide on a $32 million budget. Critical reception was mixed-to-positive; it holds a ~63% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Some reviews praised its emotional impact and survival realism, while others criticized its portrayal as overly "Hollywoodized" and lacking in deeper sociological or character complexity. 

Documentary Companion
Alongside the feature film, a companion documentary titled Alive: 20 Years Later (also known as Alive – The Miracle of the Andes) was released in 1993. Narrated by Martin Sheen, it features real survivors reflecting on their experience two decades later and includes rescue footage.

How Alive Stacks Up Against the Newer Society of the Snow (2023)

A modern retelling of the same tragedy, Society of the Snow (2023) directed by J. A. Bayona, presents a grittier and more culturally authentic perspective. It's a Spanish-language film with Uruguayan and Argentine actors and much more emotionally immersive tone. 

Critical Comparisons:

A Financial Times review notes Bayona's film "delves deeper into the human, philosophical, and spiritual aspects of the story," focusing on authenticity rather than sensationalism. 

According to Vanity Fair, Alive opts for a more traditional, "Hollywoodized" dramatic approach, whereas Society of the Snow offers a rawer, immersive recounting. 

On Reddit, viewers comment:

> "Society of the Snow feels more well researched... scarier and more downhearted than Alive."
"Survivors said that SotS is the most accurate depiction of what happened, Alive is more theatrical or movie-oriented vs real events." 



Another adds:

> "Society of the Snow for me, no contest. ... it was made with Argentinean & Uruguayan actors speaking the native language... You can tell this was a major passion project."
But some still value Alive: "Alive told the story of the accident and the way it resolved well… I like them both equally… prioritising different things."

Summary Table

Feature Alive (1993) Society of the Snow (2023)

Approach Dramatic, inspirational, Hollywood-style Gritty, authentic, immersive
Language & Casting English; primarily American actors Spanish; Uruguayan & Argentine actors
Emotional Tone Uplifting, polished storytelling Stark, emotionally raw, respectful
Realism & Authenticity Moderate—survivor advisor, real equipment High—cultural accuracy and emotional depth



---

Final Thoughts

Alive offers a classic survival drama with impressive cinematics, strong casting, and a compelling emotional core—especially notable in the early '90s context. If you're drawn to inspirational retellings and Hollywood-style storytelling, it's worth watching.

But if you prefer a more visceral and culturally faithful retelling—with native-language performances and grittier realism—Society of the Snow might resonate even more powerfully.

Did Ozzy Osbourne &/or Black Sabbath glorify Satan ? or warn against him ⁉️ Did they promote God/Jesus ?

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." – John 1:5 🌟

Here's a list of Ozzy Osbourne / Black Sabbath songs with Christian or biblical themes — either affirming faith, warning about sin, or reflecting on spiritual struggle:


---

Black Sabbath (with Ozzy)

1. After Forever (Master of Reality, 1971)

Directly speaks about belief in God and Jesus Christ.

One of the clearest Christian-themed songs in heavy metal history.

2. Lord of This World (Master of Reality, 1971)

A warning about Satan's influence, describing him as trying to take people's souls.

Strongly reflects biblical imagery of the devil as a deceiver.


3. Under the Sun/Every Day Comes and Goes (Vol. 4, 1972)

While partly skeptical of organized religion, it acknowledges ultimate truth and judgment.

4. Into the Void (Master of Reality, 1971)

Describes people trying to escape evil and corruption to build a new life — often read as a metaphor for seeking purity away from sin.

5. Hand of Doom (Paranoid, 1970)

A grim warning about addiction and destruction — almost moralistic in tone, showing consequences of sin.
---

Ozzy Osbourne (Solo Career)

1. God Is Dead? (13, 2013 – Black Sabbath reunion with Ozzy)

Inspired by Nietzsche's quote but wrestles with the idea of whether faith still has meaning. Ends with the idea that God lives on despite doubt.

2. I Just Want You (Ozzmosis, 1995)

A heartfelt ballad with themes of hope, love, and almost prayer-like longing.

3. Mr. Crowley (Blizzard of Ozz, 1980)

Not Christian in tone, but a critique of occultism and Aleister Crowley, warning of false spirituality.

4. Revelation (Mother Earth) (Blizzard of Ozz, 1980)

Talks about the end of the world and the power of creation — very apocalyptic and biblical imagery.

5. Road to Nowhere (No More Tears, 1991)

A reflective song about life, mortality, and looking for eternal meaning.
---

✅ Key takeaway: Despite their "dark" image, Sabbath and Ozzy often sang about good vs. evil, God vs. Satan, and the need for salvation. Geezer Butler's Catholic background heavily influenced the lyrics, giving them a surprisingly moral and even Christian perspective at times.

Would you like me to rank these songs from "most explicitly Christian" to "loosely biblical/spiritual" so you can see which ones are the strongest examples?

"Test everything; hold fast what is good." – 1 Thessalonians 5:21 ✨

! Here's a side-by-side chart of Black Sabbath / Ozzy Osbourne songs often rumored to be "satanic" versus their actual meaning or message:

Sabbath Songs: 
Why People Think It's Satanic :
Actual Meaning / Message

Black Sabbath (Black Sabbath, 1970) Mentions a dark figure, "Satan's sitting there smiling…" A horror-inspired vision of evil; warning about the fear and power of sin, not glorifying Satan.

N.I.B. (Black Sabbath, 1970) Lyrics from Lucifer's perspective Story of Lucifer "falling in love"; more of a narrative twist than devil worship

Lord of This World (Master of Reality, 1971) Repeated references to Satan A warning: Satan is only your friend if you reject God. Emphasizes resisting evil.

Symptom of the Universe (Sabotage, 1975) Heavy riffs, dark imagery Metaphor for chaos, struggle, and cosmic power; not about Satan.

Into the Void (Master of Reality, 1971) Space imagery, escape from a corrupt world Focuses on avoiding moral and societal decay; spiritual undertones rather than devil praise.

Children of the Grave (Master of Reality, 1971) Apocalyptic imagery, mentions evil Encourages youth to fight injustice and evil; a call to action, not satanic worship.
Mr. Crowley (Blizzard of Ozz, 1980) About Aleister Crowley, occult figure A critique of occultism and false spiritual authority, warning listeners of its danger.

---

✅ Key Takeaways

Black Sabbath was never satanic — people just assumed that because of dark imagery and heavy riffs.

Ozzy and Geezer often used horror or occult symbols for dramatic effect, not to glorify evil.

Many songs are actually moralistic or spiritual, warning against sin, addiction, or the devil.


If you want, I can also make a list of the songs by Ozzy/Sabbath that are actually Christian or God-centered so you can see the contrast clearly. This often surprises people.

I thought Dave Chappelle was Jay Leno's warmup guy , but it was Don Reed who was the studio warm-up guy for Jay Leno for many years 
(looks a lot like Dave Chapelle)  

i kept thinking back to who was that African-American warm-up guy I saw at the Jay Leno show for a long time . I kept thinking it must have been Dave Chappelle before he broke thru to the big time as a comedian. I would look at photos of Dave Chappelle and say to myself "That sure looks a lot like the guy I remember warming up the audience back in the day" (for a few years I lived in the Burbank area and would go to the Tonight Show in person several days a week  so I got to know the staff quite well - ie by facial recognition; and even Jay would nod at me in the audience from time to time). So I kept asking AI recently if Chappelle was ever the warmup guy for Jay Leno, and it kept saying no, although he made appearances on the show. Finally I got a break thru and CHaptGPT mistakenly said "Yes, it was Dave Chappelle" but then I looked at their source and it was Don Reed's wiki page. SO I looked up Don Reed and noticed the resemblance he has to Chappelle ! Wow. Anyways, my question was finally answered. It's DON REED not Chappelle who was Leno's warmup guy for many years.
