CTP (S2EMarSpeical8) Mar 2025 Music Weeks Wk 2 Ep 2: Confessions of a Fallen Angel: Music as a Path to Recovery
We explore the transformative power of music with Christian artist "He Is the Artist" and dive into his EP "Confessions of a Fallen Angel," an album inspired by addiction recovery and spiritual rebirth.
• Born in Queens, He Is the Artist (Alim Bassey) was discovered online singing covers before pursuing professional music
• The name "He Is the Artist" represents God as the ultimate creator, with influences from K-pop naming conventions
• "Confessions of a Fallen Angel" EP tracks the stages of addiction recovery while using Lucifer's fall as a metaphor
• The EP features creative covers of songs by Britney Spears, Erykah Badu, and Billie Holiday alongside original music
• Mental health themes permeate the EP, designed to help listeners feel less alone in their struggles
• Social media creates false impressions of others' lives, while focusing inward leads to true spiritual growth
• All life has value and meaning, even during our darkest moments
• God equips different people for different battles, which is why comparing journeys is counterproductive
• What matters most is being the best version of yourself, not measuring up to others' standards

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]

Welcome to ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast aka CTP in association with TheLibertyBeacon.com and I am your host Joseph M Lenard and that's L E N A R D CTP is your no muss no fuss just me you And occasional guest type podcast as Graham Norton would say let's get on with the show

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast - Segment 1]

JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): Hey gang, just a brief intro into music weeks. Here they are now. I was also considering going down the list of all the people that you see over the music weeks to be part of each episode. Let you know who's coming or who may have been or what not. The list has grown too big to really go into here. I don't want to take that much time. Music weeks thankfully has grown into a pretty big deal so it's grown a lot more than just the one music week. It originally was going to start out as into multiple weeks now. Let's go ahead and get into this particular days. Music weeks episodes and I'm trying to drop them Monday through Friday each week of music weeks. Hello everybody welcome to another episode of Christitutualist Politics. This won a special part of music week though while at time of this recording. I'm trying to make it music weeks if not music month. Well so in honor for those looking behind the scenes on video you can see I dug up my my the rat pack is back shirt from when I was in Vegas last time 2006 a long time ago I stayed at the Sahara. They played to the Sahara but at that time when I was there they were at the Union. If they're still playing I'd recommend them if and when you go to Vegas look it up the rat pack is back in honor of Vegas early days when the rat pack was out there playing and as I eluded to I'm trying to expand this into maybe music month so I got all kinds of invites out there but I recognize obviously not everybody can drop everything right they get invited to this that the other thing they can't necessarily drop everything for my music week or month so that means an extra special thank you to my guests for indeed clearing his calendar to appear welcome he is the artist how are you good thank you so much for having me on the show to the appreciate it my honor I'm grateful as I said for you being here I do appreciate I was planning on talking to you regardless of the music week but after talking to Michael and seeing a few of his other artists won awards I that's what spurred the thought you helped spur the thought hey let's have a music week or a music month and load up on music guests so in part you're the reason this
HE IS THE ARTIST: is happening oh I'm not happy to be you know part of the inspiration definitely
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): so indeed your latest album well got a backup got backup right music week so kill the who who are you right where were you born and raised and were you now
HE IS THE ARTIST: all that nitty gritty kind of stuff so basically I was born in Queens New York then I moved to upstate New York my parents moved around with us a lot and then I ended up in a town called Central Iceland you know when I was nine years old and you know that's when I really started to you know explore music I was in the fire I was in you know band I played the trumpet so I wanted to learn
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): the saxophone in school I had a settle for the trumpet but then I also learned guitar and drums and keyboards but yeah that's fun actually technically the choronet rather than the trumpet but yeah please go on well I wasn't really
HE IS THE ARTIST: that good after trumpet so that's why I pretty much dropped an elementary school and I really just did like the choir and I did like music theory and other things like that I didn't actually take music seriously until I got to an adult though when I was discovered online by producer just singing coverage for fun and that's pretty much how it happened he invited me to the studio to record the song and that's when I started taking music very seriously and became like a
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): impression for me yeah you never know what door God may open for you right amen to that yeah absolutely what were you thinking of all I want to what be an accountant a lawyer a doctor a flight attendant what were you aspiring before music became your reality you know I always speed passed that part but I
HE IS THE ARTIST: but I definitely I went to college for communications and through that I you know I became a member of the of Grammy you because I want to be an entertainment reporter at first you know so you know I do that working behind the scenes by entrance for a lot of different organizations what clean noise collective which before sizzle that artist named Sizzo was famous I actually did I actually interviewed her and that's so it's so funny how things kind of come full circle like that you know God does that so but I didn't what I didn't think of being a singer until I was you know discovered by that producer just singing online for
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): fun yeah yeah he can open those doors if we pay attention enough to walk through them right it's like I opened the door but you have free will I'm not going to kick you through the door and well before we get to the album I'm kind of sort of understand the behind it but oh did the name he is the artist come
HE IS THE ARTIST: about you know originally I went by my biological name Aleem and Bassie however you know once I became a Christian artist you know I didn't happen overnight really you know it took a lot of prayer and a lot of just kind of find out you know what I wanted to do in music and then eventually it I came to the name he is the artist which means God is the artist I mean you know and I put it all in one word because you know I was interested in a lot of you know K-pop names I thought I thought that was kind of cool how they how all of their you know characters were together so I kind of made it he is the artist from from that all one word but you know but the meeting just one great thing God is the
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): artist yeah yeah well I like to say about my books and about this show the inspiration you know it's not me I'm just the conduit I like to at least hope and pray that I'm just the tool that which things go through amen yes you
HE IS THE ARTIST: know definitely I'm the vessel for for God's work you know and you know I always have to pray first to make sure that you know my message is really you know
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): what God wants me to put out yeah and the the L E well I keep saying album technically an EP right for those viewing behind the scenes you you got a hint already you could see me holding it up but for the benefit of the transcript and the audio only shows the pretty obvious inspiration but what indeed was the inspiration for confessions of a fallen angel so basically
HE IS THE ARTIST: yeah was basically the story of you know Lucifer and his downfall both on grace but you know what even more than that it's just it's an album about you know addiction recovery going through the different stages of addiction recovery especially since people feel like they can't get up after certain something so devastating and you know each song tells it a different stage of the addiction cycle the addiction recovery cycle and you know it's all it's all about you know when you fall down that will pick you back up pretty
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): much yeah so in a weird way it can hopefully become an anthem album for AA
HE IS THE ARTIST: groups oh yeah hopefully or does anybody struggling with any mental health issues or just you know my song out my mind just in time which is an air cut badu cover it you know really is you know definitely speaks to also mental health and just making sure that that we're taking accountability for you know our actions and you know trying to yeah just sometimes when you speak out like you speak out into the universe what you're going through or you know God hears you you know God hears you and he'll help you through that that tough time
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): yeah I've never had an addiction issue but close for I have health issues for a couple years I was on to Xanax the max dose of Xanax to a day for a couple years so when it came time to move on indeed I wasn't mentally addicted I don't have an addictive personality but I very much understand and the withdrawal the physical withdrawal issues and it took me several attempts before I was able to wean off and I like yeah I still have a script for it here but I don't want that feeling ever again I will never take it more than when I really really need it and never more than two days in a row because I don't want those physical withdrawals those are nasty they're not fun
HE IS THE ARTIST: right oh yeah so it definitely is you know case by case thing but I would definitely say you know the album to speak to you know anybody struggling with it pretty much anything that you can get through those tough times I first see it never had an addiction issue however you know I have a lot of empathy for people struggling and that's that's why I made this album yeah now that we
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): behind the scenes for those who may be interested and it may become relevant based on my next question today is Friday not the 13th Friday February 21st of 2025 this won't air for a while but the EP is out yes that's correct yes it is
HE IS THE ARTIST: out and I'm all major streaming platforms and you know I'm really excited you know I'm really excited to see you know I mean just just people listening to it maybe their thoughts on you know but you know it's really a it's really just an album that's rather EP I always say album anyway but I feel like it's one of the same at this point just just a number of things you know so you're
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): clearly a lot longer than I am I'm 62 but shows our age or the fact that we come from musical families or musical interests that we call it album whereas most kids today would be album what the heck is an album right but I mean you
HE IS THE ARTIST: know what you know when I was younger I mean that we had CDs because sets some stuff old enough to remember those things so that's where really comes from but you know it's all music as long as you know you're getting your message across doesn't really matter how many songs it is it just matters that you know
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): well that leads to like I said in the green room at my audience I don't script shows where I just hit record I don't want to know much about the people that come on because I want to learn about you just as the audience when they hear for the first time we'll be discovering you and learning about you so that now begs the obvious question is it going to be available on vinyl because vinyl is coming back into fashion again yeah I was hope eventually I would hope so you
HE IS THE ARTIST: know that all my projects will be on vinyl but as of you right now no but you never know in the future definitely I do plan on having vinyl so all my work
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): yeah well it's obviously a lot more I wrote and recorded music in the 70s and 80s but you know long before all the days of online digital drops right so I never got a record deal like my dad got a record deal head of the letter junior and the polka kings I didn't do polka music I learned the guitar I had no interest in the accordion but like my father and my grandfather and my great grandfather but that's off the beaten so he got an actual record deal and you could still find in fact I saw an ev the other day one of his releases on a track so but today yeah everything's did you mostly digital download so the vinyl while it's coming back into fashion is isn't expense it's it's an ordeal you have to go through the pressing process and you have to have units for stores to sit there whether they may or may not sell or not oh absolutely you know and
HE IS THE ARTIST: we spoke about the 70s and you know the 80s those are my favorite time period you know to list the world decades I listened back to you know the great like Jimmy Hendrix and his jobs the drop them you know I take a lot of inspiration from
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): I love yeah I loved Hendrix I was not much of a Joplin fan I'm not they got the movie out about them now oh Dylan but yeah I was never a Dylan fan but you know everybody's got their likes their dislikes I'm not trying to you know judge anybody else's choices
HE IS THE ARTIST: or whole likes well Jenna's just woman especially if you love her or you don't because she's has a very you know interesting sound and you know it's just
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): just you know it's all art so but I don't have to necessarily like an artist this conversation came up another rabbit hole I wasn't expecting to go down with you but I can separate you from your work right like I call her Lady Gagme I cannot stand her but poker face absolutely brilliant you take a phrase that's been used forever and turn it in my Lee although I don't know if she wrote the song wrecking ball great concept wonderful song also I'm not a spring stink fan but glory days I talk about one of my books because that's something that most people growing up play a sport and can relate to that so that's other brilliance I could separate the person from their work oh absolutely you
HE IS THE ARTIST: know that that's very important especially because you know people are even then they make mistakes and you know but the art lives on it so yeah that
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): sure does and being from the Detroit area I do absolutely love new gent and Montrose and his damn Yankees days and his solo days as well as you know kid rocks from here I don't like Eminem personally but again I enjoy his work you know Vincent aka Alice Cooper from the area this love them they a lot of people don't understand they really got their start in Cadillac Michigan they did a lot of gigs there they were selling out in Cadillac Michigan like crazy before they took off and like Bob Seager turned the page which was a cover song though really some of his songs are very good but he's another one of those that I don't quite get the appeal but again to
HE IS THE ARTIST: each their own yeah absolutely oh absolutely you know well gonna not gonna love everything but you know it's just it's all art and definitely you know well love some things and one I'm not gonna love some things about others you
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): know okay I've I've gone way off the beaten path down rather holes that have nothing to do with you so let's get back to you since it's out it's not a hush her secret what are the names of some of the songs on the EP so we have
HE IS THE ARTIST: some simply Sonata rock rhapsody that we have a cover up sometimes by Britney Spears rock cover obviously we have God bless his child but Billy holiday a cover we have an original song of mine called part is waves am I missing oh out my mind just in time there we go which is actually one of our lead singles on the on the EP and that is I'm an acrobat do cover so yeah I've songs I remember
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): that now that was one of the things that I did know did learn about you that very much intrigued me the Britney Spears cover I'm like okay so how does a Christian and nature artists decide on a Britney Spears song to cover I've got
HE IS THE ARTIST: to hear more about that oh you know what I originally you know I grew up in up state New York so when I was in well I was what I left when I was nine years old but that was kind of like the big thing there you know Brittany and in sync and
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): all those other artists so I like Brittany she she went along not so on the head
HE IS THE ARTIST: for a while but I like her stuff but it goes perfect with the EP though I mean she does it she was like her server disships you know it's um you know it's just an artist that you know really relates to the EP and then especially with the song out my mind just in time which is right after that song so but you know it was nice to see her her recovery and her to get back on track
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): yeah well it's an open question she's still doing some like hostage type videos who still looks out of her mind but yeah I pray for her I it's hard I mean she grew up as a child prodigy and through the Disney year so she had a lot put on her and indeed child stars often lose their minds because they
HE IS THE ARTIST: get so much so early yes I mean oh yeah especially when you when all the awards are you know so early there's nothing really to want anymore so the best guidance really is to find find God and to you know and he'll lead you to a to a place of you know a piece yeah you get those awards early then you've got
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): that pressure of the expectation okay how do I get the next one and I'm right I mentioned Vincent aka Alice Cooper I love that he's got a video he grew up Catholic kind of fell out the face but it never clearly ever left him because now he's back and he says yeah I went through those drugs and alcohol days but looking back God was still always working through him because a lot of his fan base are Christians because even his stage show as wild as it is is good evil the bad guy gets well headed in the end so it's very Christian based even when he wasn't thinking about it that way oh yeah yeah definitely you know a
HE IS THE ARTIST: message of good Trump Trump over evil it definitely is you know we'll always be Christian they will always be you know the guy winning in the end yeah
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): and I did like the the rush the rock group not the talk show host you know not a Christian group by any means but a lot of their stuff they're a bit of a biblical right free will if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice you shall be known by your fruits not your words your actions matter and in action is an action so a lot of their stuff is biblical even though they're clearly not a Christian group same with triumph which kind of got a Christian group label for a while it does songs fight the good fight and never surrender I love that also Canadian group to unlike groups like Creed and yeah do you know the group oh I could picture him in my head King's ex have you heard of them that sounds familiar I love them they got a song it's love and I forget the other one that was oh black flag there was a black flag on my morning there was a black flag on my day but ultimately it was up to me how I wanted it to be very Christian group very Christian message love them a lot so I know I'm
HE IS THE ARTIST: gonna love your EP oh thank you very much you know yeah
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): those are full disclosure though I've not heard it yet so okay oh that's okay you
HE IS THE ARTIST: know a lot of people haven't heard it yet so well you know well we'll listen
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): together you know yeah yeah well yeah some show host would say oh yeah I've heard it's no this is a Christian show I'm not gonna be here lying to anybody about it my expectation is and usually correct judgment of content of character you know what I expect from it I think will be there and therefore indeed I'm sure I will love it as I think others in this audience well so again before we go too much further let me hold that up again it is concessions of a fallen angel EP by he is the artist yeah that's that that was a great confession yeah definitely yes yes previous confession good one I did I didn't even put two and together there it was a perfect segue into the name of your EP oh like I say that's why I don't script shows and like I say it flows through me I'm not smart enough to talk to you know to creatively make that connection and set it up as a
HE IS THE ARTIST: joke definitely is yeah definitely is an EP that you know that's that people should definitely take their time to listen to and you know whenever whenever you know a person is ready to listen then then that is the
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): right time well like you said it's mental health related even though technically addiction related anyone in a bad space this can be good for them
HE IS THE ARTIST: too yes absolutely you know yes meant for you know people who have or who are having a not necessarily a mental health issue but just just just feeling down even I mean doesn't have to be so dramatic as that but just feeling down alone just feeling alone like like nobody else has you know it's having any issues right now but you know the EP speaks to you know the fact that you know everybody's going through something and you know they're not alone in this and then that can help you help you even if you're not specifically a strong believer I mean definitely you can have strength even within yourself you know or find the strength within yourself to get through you know your situation
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): even though you've not said it specifically I'm hearing the implication underlying is all life has value and meaning I full disclosure not happy to talk about it but feel necessary to talk about it I myself and the suicide attempts survivor right you and you don't know what tomorrow will bring until you carpeting on the day right until you seize today it may not be what's oh speaking of music there's that group that song it may not be oh the cheers thing or friends right may not be your week your months or even your year so you don't know the impact and value of society you have until another time and unlike I like to bring up it's a wonderful life movie your life isn't like the overly dramatic movie where you save someone from drowning or stop a pharmacist from poisoning the child little things matter and add up and I like to say it's like the Pantene commercial they tell two people then they can sooner right it's about selling shampoo but also the broader point up sooner or later you have a movement right if you help me and I help somebody else whose child then goes on to cure cancer we all played a minor role in that all life has value and meaning whether you see it at this time or not amen to that yeah definitely it's you
HE IS THE ARTIST: know it speaks to even well especially that the cover of out my mind just in time definitely speaks to people contemplating you know suicide you know that you know they're not alone in this and that you they definitely is well that definitely our resources actually that can help them through through this time and I would hope that my EP is one of those resources that I use to you know see that you know their life is valued God loves each and every one of us and you know wants us to be here and wants us to work through these issues
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): um so that's a for spiritual growth yeah we all go through bad times there's no question right and as you said as long as you recognize like the song may not be your weaker month or even your year your life has value and meaning and we all have things as you say to work through oh yeah God definitely wouldn't
HE IS THE ARTIST: pull this here if it was just gonna be just this easy ride where everything goes good I mean he's really he brought us here because it's gonna be tough and it's gonna really test our spirits and really help us grow and become spiritually strong you know and that's really why you know each and every one of us is here you know and even though it may seem that some people have it easier than and you doesn't mean that you know we don't really know why he he would make their lives easier I mean it could be because we have the strong the tougher battles because we're you know he equipped us for those battles and maybe those other people other spirits weren't really equipped for that type of battle I mean you know and you know I also feel like we all should just say in our own layman's boy by ourselves because we don't know what God really why God really you know put certain people certain places you know
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): use what we can when we can where we can to help others but yeah like Martin Luther King Jr. content of character it's not just skin tone right you may see somebody with a Lamborghini and a huge house and whatever whatever doesn't mean you can make the assumption that that makes them happy that they are happy and
HE IS THE ARTIST: they have no problems absolutely yeah definitely it's just important to you know say in our own land just make sure that we you know worry about ourselves because we don't really know the full story we don't know exactly what's going on in their lives yeah and you know all we can do is focus on ourselves and make
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): ourselves a better person yeah that's where Matthew 7 comes in I was talking with Joe Patty the other day season two episode 91 that's gonna drop and one of the Matthew 7 really is not judge not less GB judged and there's more to it than those seven words read the rest of it like remove the log from thine own eye it is really in the original a america Hebrew Latin and Greek condemn not less he be condemned for final judgment is the Lord so while we are to make judgments we have to do so biblically and like we're talking with the understanding first impressions may
HE IS THE ARTIST: not always be the right impression amen to that yeah definitely you know again it just really speaks to just the fact that we should all you know work on ourselves you know work and just make ourselves a bit better people you know but better person rather you know rather than you know worry about everybody else and what they're doing I mean I think it's like Instagram and all these social media sites I mean just make it seem like everybody's you know rich and you know doing wonderfully but you know you know that's just a picture that's just a moment in time we're not really seeing their entire life why I'm glad
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): you phrased that as you did what it brings to my mind is if you're constantly looking outward rather than inward and right as the saying goes point the finger three more of your own are pointing right back at you right can you look in like the Michael Jackson song man in the mirror or the Rick Springfield song prayer I send a prayer to heaven to be a better man than the man I see in my mirror work on you right yes definitely definitely always
HE IS THE ARTIST: focus on we should always focus on ourselves because you know I'm looking at other people can really bring in those you know thoughts of you know not being good enough not you know and you know that's really again I always that song out my mind just in time on the my EP the cover of the Erica Badu song really speaks to that you know it's really it's almost like I'm I'm gonna have to go
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): listen to that now immediately after we're done well because it's the
HE IS THE ARTIST: literally the confessions almost like going to a confessional in a church where you really just confess all the things that you've been doing incorrectly and we're all human frail imperfect flawed yes yes and it's definitely just you know I really feels like you're speaking to a Catholic priest and confessing all of your sins and things that you've done wrong yeah you know what
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST): matters is are we at least trying to be better and at least be the best we can be it may not measure up to others at times but that's not what matters in the grand scheme of things if you're being the best you and you're helping others to some degree in the process as part of our Christian call to be our brothers and sisters keeper then that's good enough amen to that yeah that is good enough all right well I do not have a website for you written down so wrapping things up do you have no pun intended to the music rap genre right things yeah I kill you know my lame sent a humor at least that make myself laugh right oh do you have a website where people could reach out to you buy
HE IS THE ARTIST: your digital download and all that stuff definitely it's www.he is the artist calm all right and you can find my music on all major digital music outlets Spotify Apple music and all of the major outlets yep yep yep of course

Music, TV, & Politics…

A few weeks back I had a “Lets go to the Lobby for Snacks and Politics” piece and its follow-up “Movies, Snacks, Politics, part 2” so makes sense – lets talk briefly about Music and TV…

But first a brief reprise about Movies – I hope you all caught “They Live” 35th Anniversary this year (while showing in many Theaters September 2023) and if not at Theaters please rent or stream it after you read this. Reminder: “They Live” an early John Carpenter (Writer/Director) piece where he dared to go down ChristiTutionalist Politics line before I coined the term and “Aliens” (the E.T. variety) as stand-in for the #DeepState always moving and manipulating behind scenes. Human-nature of those willing to go-along-to-get-along to Cash in for themselves. The 15-minute (minor exaggeration) I hinted at in the Movies pieces is great metaphorical outline for the verbal back-and-forth we often have with DUMBocrats to get them to see Reality!

Music:

#IStandWithJasonAldean (and, yes, too Oliver Anthony)
CMT (Country Music Television) crumbles to Cancel Culture, pulls “Try that in a Small Town” Video. And what my book (Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You) about, not just Foreign Terrorists but USA Leftist Terrorism within & destruction of Western-Culture (as whole, not just US). #JasonAldean #BoycottCMT

I tack this on here, as Patriots in good Independent Studios or Patriotic Producers/Directors need to assure this Song gets on the Soundtrack of their PRO-AMERICA Movies as many times/places as possible!!

Lastly, I know this is OLD NEWS to a degree and you are well aware and likely heard this story for several weeks already via FOXNEWS, NEWSMAX, OAN, and other outlets (including the ridiculous attempts by Left #ENEMEdia to make this somehow a Racist song calling for violence when the Writers (no, not Jason) and he (Jason) indeed all on the same page as to why they wrote it and why he wanted to Record it. AN ANTI-CRIME and ANTI-VIOLENCE piece, but if/when push comes to shove that we do have a Right to Defend ourselves from it. To protect and prevent our Communities being Arsoned to the ground by ANTIFA and #BlackLyingMarxist Hitlerian Brown-Shirt thugs.

Only the Left and their constant Race-baiting have the gall to say scenes (that show people of ALL RACES) is somehow Racist as an indictment of Black people? Who are the Racists? They are, if they say crime automatically equals Black people! Meanwhile scuttling #BidenCrimeFamily investigations and still creating major reach (stretching beyond all credulity of those Laws intent) on Statutes to try to charge POTUS45/Trump! Spare us the “What about the Lynching that took place at that Courthouse a hundred years ago” manure that no-one knew about until the Leftists #ENEMEdia desperate for a Talking-Point managed to dig up that History. I guess the Hannah Montana and the Christmas Movie filmed there are now also Racist (just like they tried to deem Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” as somehow Racist). When are Black Americans going to wake up to this pathetic and desperate Race-baiting?!?! Whom, in Poll after Poll show they want more police protection from the runaway and rampant Crime happening due to FASCICRATS weak-on-Crime and other failing policies!!!

Thank you to all that emailed or called CMT or Cable Companies that carry CMT and let them know they would like CMT pulled from their line-up as money will be the only thing they understand. As discussed in the BIDENomics pieces they chase the Woke ESG pennies, we must make then suffer huge dollar loses until they learn to stop pandering to the Cancel Culture manure.

A friend of mine posted a Breitbart article titled “Woke Maren Morris Announces She’s Leaving Country Music: ‘Misogynistic & Racist & Homophobic & Transphobic’” (no, not gonna link it) that I would talk about but all our “kind” reactions (here are those) were “WHO?” And some “less than polite” responses too (including a few snide ones from yours truly). LOL

Television:

That’s now Movies, Music, but what about TV? May as well take a pot-shot at that too?!?! I had for decades hoped we’d get a reboot of “The Streets of San Francisco;” like Hawaii Five-O was, and Magnum P.I. was; and while I liked those originals (I did not tune-in for those reboots) but that was long before Newsome, Piglosi, others, have completely destroyed it over these last couple of decades. So, maybe best we can hope for is reboot of Adam-12; though that was set in L.A. which has equally degraded into one of Dante’s layers of Hell, but maybe could be reset into a different City; as a method of bringing traditional values and BACK THE BLUE back; as opposed to all the Trash we’re getting these days (like, sadly, the reboot of Quantum Leap went all WOKE)?!?!?

Some final thoughts:

Now after three-parts total of/for “Movies and Politics (Music and TV tacked on in part 3)” I could go on forever, and probably no surprise to anyone that is a regular reader of mine that at some time in near future I would have a part three (more on Movies, and to pivot to Music and TV) as I now have!

Follow-up to the piece a few weeks back discussion of one of my all-time favorite Directors/Producers Roland Emmerich (and the part 2 “Movies, Snacks, Politics” piece): Many know Toby and/or Noah Emmerich, two of the people involved in/with the great Movie CELLULAR (with Noah Emmerich*, Chris Evans, Jason Statham, William H. Macy, Kim Bassinger, more) I just rented (via my DISHnetwork OnDemand feature (sign-up with my VCD0026116345 referral code for discounts)) to watch again as it is an A+ (remember, when that film came out was just at the time of proliferation of Cell phones with advanced features and therefore absolute genius script at that time). A good “temporary escape from Politics film.” From GOOGLE (about Noah): On television, the native New Yorker was a series regular on BACKWASH and played the despondent Dr. Edwin Jenner in the two-part Season 1 finale of THE WALKING DEAD. Emmerich's brother is film producer Toby Emmerich, but they are not, Emmerich explains, related to Director/Producer Roland Emmerich.

The Emmerich lines via DuckDuckGo (here).

Gasp, can you believe it? YES, you’ve reached the end of this article already! LOL Hey, gotta poke fun at ourselves if we are to be able to laugh at others. I am indeed trying to SCALE BACK the length of my pieces! 😊
