The Downfall of Hollywood
Continuing with our theme of “the downfall,” today we’re talking about one of the biggest businesses of the past one hundred years —- Hollywood.
Since its beginnings, the entertainment industry has brought incredible fame and fortunes to many people, from actors to directors to producers. It’s a real world that brings the fantasy to life in many different ways and scenarios. And for many people, Hollywood is a place to be “discovered” and made into that celebrity that has the media fawning over them and fans screaming for photos and autographs.
Being on the outside, many people look at the Hollywood lifestyle and want to believe that their favorite actors and actresses are genuinely good people. Sure, some of them may get into minor trouble here and there, especially when they are young and suddenly have fame and a fortune, but that’s all, right?
Sadly, that’s not true. While many actors and actresses wear costumes and disguises for their roles on television shows and in movies, it turns out that they wear other “disguises” to keep their true behavior a secret from their loyal fans and the news media.
That brings us to our subject today — the downfall of Hollywood.
Like many people, I’ve joined the boycott against many of today’s movies and television shows.
One reason is because I’m tired of shows forcing SJW issues and unrealistic situations. It’s annoying, it’s not realistic, and it’s not right for Hollywood to keep pushing the issues. Read more…

The Downfall of the NFL
Here we are on a Sunday in early November.
The air is crisp and chilly, the holidays are approaching, and normally my day would focus on watching non-stop coverage of professional football from 1 pm through the night. Okay, it’s not really “focusing” on football, but the games would be playing on my TV as background noise while I’m working. I’ve been a fan of the NFL for many years now, and a large part of my Sundays in the fall revolved around watching my favorite teams.
The NFL was especially important on Thanksgiving. We’d spend time going through the sales advertisements, cooking an early turkey dinner, and also watching the Dallas Cowboys and then Detroit Lions. The NFL was part of that holiday, especially for my dad and I.
Like many people, that love affair with the NFL ended when players began taking a knee and protesting during our national anthem. This season the protests escalated like wildfire as many more players joined and made their stances known (as if we didn’t already know where many of them stood, thanks to social media). It forced us loyal fans to make a decision: keep watching and supporting our favorite teams and players, or don’t.
The decision for me was easy — NO MORE NFL.
No longer will I pay casual attention to my television on Sundays in the fall, watching overpaid athletes use their fame to protest against values that I hold so dearly. On top of that, many of those players are protesting against alleged “social injustice” that doesn’t even exist in this country anywhere near the extent that they believe it does.
These protests by NFL football players (and even college cheerleaders, such as the five Kennesaw State University cheerleaders who took a knee during the national anthem) are primarily based on lies and misinformation spread by the media as well as the cesspools known as Facebook and Twitter.
