JERRY SEINFELD BRUTALLY SHUTS DOWN PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTOR AFTER KNICKS GAME: ‘It doesn’t exist.’

Jerry Seinfeld was ambushed by a live streamer who attempted to bait him into saying ‘Free Palestine’ after a massive comeback New York Knicks win in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

The 72-year-old comedian pulled no punches as he dismissed the Kick streamer named FinesseFave outside of Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.

The social media personality asked the star to say ‘free Palestine’ in the microphone as he left the arena to which Seinfeld chuckled before brutally replying: ‘It doesn’t exist.’

It’s a show about nothing.

HEH:

I mean, at least we’re getting something out of the World Cup.

THE LEFT IS INCENSED BECAUSE PRATT EXPOSED THEIR GRIFT AND INCOMPETENCE:

ANALYSIS: TRUE. No one is entitled to work at CBS or anywhere else.

I worked as a writer, reporter, and editor for various publications for more than ten years. So, I’ve worked inside newsrooms and, before that, in the business world. And watching the Pelley spectacle, I keep coming back to the same thought: The rules that apply in every other profession apply here, too.

You have a boss. What the boss says goes. You do the job you were hired to do, or you find another job. What you do not do, if you want to be taken seriously, is hijack a staff meeting to scream at your new executive producer, question his qualifications to his face in front of 50 colleagues, accuse leadership of “murdering” the program, and then act shocked when you are shown the door. What you especially do not do is immediately leak the whole episode to the New York Times and then performatively engage in public grief sessions about the consequences.

Pelley was paid millions of dollars to work at CBS. He had a 37-year run at the network. He is not a sympathetic figure. He is a very well-compensated professional who made a scene, got fired for cause, and is now treating his termination as a national tragedy and some kind of attack on journalism.

No matter the profession, if the new boss has new rules, you can either get on board or get lost.

THE JUDGE ELEANOR ROSS SEX-AND-JUDICIAL-OPINIONS SCANDAL HAS BROKEN INTO THE NYT: “For years, Judge Eleanor Ross’s secret was passed down from law clerk to law clerk. They whispered about the sultry jazz music that emanated from her chambers when a uniformed police commander, a man they called her “visitor,” disappeared into her private office. The clerks could sometimes hear the unmistakable sounds of sex from behind the door. They chalked it up as one of the burdens of working for Judge Ross, who routinely rubber stamped their draft orders and added little else before issuing them as rulings. But the clerks in the Atlanta courthouse felt helpless: Do you report your married boss, a federal judge no less, for having a clandestine in-office affair with a law enforcement officer?”

Finally one did.

QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED:

GET WOKE, GO…: Going Woke Drove Doctor Who Into Oblivion.

So what went wrong here? I think it’s obvious but the Telegraph summary is pretty good. Starting with the Jodie Whittaker era:

It’s arguable that the show became a little too preachy; the Sunday-night scheduling forced it away from being simple whizz-bang fun, and that a reduction from 12 to 10 episodes per series took away the “appointment viewing” feel and made storylines feel rushed. Moreover, the show had become simply dull. On the fan website Doctor Who TV, eight of Whittaker’s instalments make the 10 worst Doctor Who episodes…

Jodie is a good actress and lovable, but there was all this baggage [during her run]. There was a pregnant man and assistants going back in time to look at their heritage histories. If you’re going for a populist audience that was ill-judged.”

As for the Gatwa era, people hated it.

Some episodes were deliberately childish, while others contained distinctly adult social and political themes – stories about incels and trans rights. The latter became increasingly remarked upon, something that doesn’t surprise the show’s former writer: “We had this nonsense, this identity politics, and there is nothing less likely to make people feel at ease than by making them think they are being hectored or lectured.”

There you have it. Doctor Who was an entertaining show for quite a few years and then it went woke and now the show is history and everyone associated with it is done for good. It will be 4-5 years at a minimum before they find a way to reboot this. It’ll take at least that long for viewers to forget what a boring, woke scold of a show this had become.

Found via the Critical Drinker, “Nerdrotic” has a simple solution for a reboot: “Cast Hugh Laurie as the Doctor with a smoking hot actual female companion. You’re welcome.”

JAW, JAW IS BETTER THAN WAR, WAR: ‘They Should Have Made a Deal,’ Trump to Seize Iran’s Oil Infrastructure.

UPDATE: Nope. Trump, according to the WSJ, now says he’s canceled the strikes “after Tehran’s leadership and other parties negotiating a deal to end the conflict approved ‘discussions and final points.'” Echoing what I wrote below, whatever went on behind the scenes, Trump’s threat seems to have gotten what he wanted — even if what he wanted was for the talks to drag on while Iran’s economy continues crumbling. But do read the rest of the column because it includes some fun tidbits.
