I watched the show for about 30 minutes recently. It’s probably been at least 15 years since I have watched it. They seemed to have a strong commitment to DEI, yet some of the prizes were laughable.
State Farm fired Aaron Rodgers for being right and hired Travis Kelce, who was wrong. This must send several interesting messages to would-be endorsers, including: 1) Keep your mouth shut even if you are right. 2) Companies don't want to be associated with brave and intelligent celebrities. 3) However, IF you promote the narrative, you can be very well paid. 4) All executives at State Farm believe natural immunity is not possible ... so buy your insurance from this company, which is overflowing with brilliant executives.
On the plus side, Aaron Rodgers doesn't care about losing millions of dollars in endorsement deals because he's already set up for life. This puts him in the rare position of being able to say what he really thinks.
However, there are millions of multi-millionaires who could have done the same thing and promoted the truth or called out obvious lies ... who aren't willing to do this. John Grisham would be one such person.
In this essay, I talk about how half of the commercials on every TV show are paid for by Big Pharma. Twenty-five percent of the other commercials are paid for by super rich and "fearless" plaintiff trial lawyers who, theoretically, could sue Big Pharma or represent clients hurt by the lockdowns.
Every one of these lawyer commercials and billboards includes the tag line "if you've been injured or harmed, call us and let us fight for you!" .... Unless, that is, you've been harmed by the Covid lies ... then, whatever you do, don't call us.
That would be the easiest and perhaps best reform so I hope they do it. All media companies will have a conniption fit. There's not enough non Big Pharma advertisers left to pay for the subsidizing of all these networks. It will probably bring about more paid subscriber streaming businesses - and make the price of everyone's TV go up.
But networks will no longer have an incentive to cover for Big Pharma. Do you think this will actually happen?
They probably wouldn't start investigating the truth because belatedly reporting the truth would expose themselves as being complicit in all the lies and crimes.
Still, if they're not getting any more money from Big Pharma, why would they have to keep running cover for Big Pharma?
I also always get a little depressed when I watch "The Price is Right" because every episode - 50 years into the show - reveals that half the contestants don't know to go $1 over the highest price made by previous contestants or bid $1 to make sure they win if the price is lower than the other three contestants guessed.
I think this has always been the case, but nowadays I wonder if this ignorance of game strategy is brain fog caused by the vaccines.
This morning the fourth bidder won and got to go compete for more prizes by bidding $800 for a prize that ended up being $950. However, the highest bid at that point was $600. Why didn't this man bid $601? What if the item turned out to be $825? The man would have lost by over-bidding.
Great thoughts! Remember Queen for a Day? I was old enough to observe that the contestants seemed poor and so thankful for anything they won. At age 8, my parents and I were on a train from Buffalo to Iowa. As the train headed into the Cleveland, Ohio station, we passed by several shacks and one had what looked to me like a brand new washing machine on the porch. I remarked, "She must have been on Queen for a Day." No pharma advertising then.
A Midwestern Doctor wrote about coming together with family on Christmas. I wonder how many families were like mine: some of us not interested in attending and some people not even invited. My outspoken behavior the last 4 years has certainly changed the family dynamic. A few of us opted out of the picture this year in favor of our own Christmas - no talk of when the next booster will be available, talk of someone having AFIB now, someone recovering from micro clots in the lungs. Nope! We tried to get them to see the light, but they prefer living in the "Fantasy world of Fauci." Will it never end?
Same here - we lost our NYC daughter, possibly forever, to the injection cult. :(
Family members talk about various ailments, many of which are probably injection-induced, but NO one is allowed to say that. They are cult members who will not leave the cult no matter what I say. Even deaths do not sway them. It is truly mind bending.
Yes it is mind bending......and there is nothing more I can say or show them. They refute all the studies, etc. I have mentioned this in other posts, but will again: After having a third booster in spring of 2022, my sister in law in Denver collapsed while walking and they found micro clots in her lungs. The very same month my friend here in Ft Worth had the same thing happen. Both the same age - 70's and were in great shape beforehand. Coincidence? I spoke to my friend about it, but she said the doctor never said it was a possibility. The other one is so into the cult I didn't even try. To top it off, one month after that fall booster in 2023, another friend had a stroke - brain clot. They all continue to get boosted - it has totally ruined my friendship with them. I don't know who they are anymore.
Speaking of Framed, there are several high profile cases in the news in which the media helps convict the accused. One almost no one knows about yet is the Mangione guy arrested at the McDonald's in PA for killing the UHC CEO. He's not the killer, but all the evidence has been laid out nice and neat in the media for the prosecutors and the public to convict him in the court of public opinion. He's been arrested, the story's out of the media, and it will be years before he's found not guilty and released. By then, if not already today, no one will care or barely remember. Derek Chauvin's crime was a lack of compassion. George Floyd didn't die until after he reached the hospital. Derek Chauvin will get a new trial, he'll be found not guilty of murder, and be released, but it will be too late to get his life back. What about all those vicious Trump supporters that killed 5 Capitol Police officers, including Officer Sicknick with the fire extinguisher before his body was laid 'In State'? Where are the arrests for those vicious murderers? The media is a glad and willing participant in these false convictions more often than not. You don't hate the corporate media enough
Thanks for reminding me of the five police officers who were allegedly killed by the j-6 insurrectionists. Only one person was directly killed by others that day- the lady who was shot by a Capitol cop - who was never prosecuted or even sanctioned.
The only people who gad guns in the Capitol were law enforcement officers. It's the only violent insurrection in history where all the insurrecitonists were unarmed.
Surely, President Trump will pardon ever one of these "framed" people on Day one of his new administration. John Grisham is a lawyer. He ought to represent a few of them pro bono.
Another lady was killed that day by the capitol pigs. (It's been over a year since I read her story. I'm sure it can still be found somewhere online.) She was in distress and was beaten by a female cop, who was, of course, promoted for beating her. I think she was having a heart attack. But she was a J6-er, so I'm sure she deserved to die.
NYT which falsely reported officer killed by being struck by fire extinguisher, falsely reported Rosanne Boykin died of amphetamine overdose. Google search today still shows first results as this initial claim. You have to go to 3rd or 4th page of search to get the police attack story. Liars all.
Back when my wife worked in medical offices, all the pharma sales reps were young attractive females, dressed to the 9’s. Not sure how much it’s changed.
Things have changed since "doctors" (aka drug pushers) are no longer decision-makers, with government "health authorities" mandating what they can prescribe and restricting their autonomy to virtually nothing.
I know. One of my favorite pastimes on Substack is calling out hypocrites - those who self-identify as fearless truth-seekers and justice seekers. That group includes EVERY mainstream "journalist."
All the writers organizations celebrating themselves for defending "free speech" and celebrating "banned books week" somehow never got around to mentioning (not even with a 10 foot pole) RFK's THE REAL ANTHONY FAUCI, nor all the doctors censored for talking about early covid treatment, nor the thousands upon thousands of vax injured kicked off FaceBook and YT for talking about their injuries. Someone tell me I'm wrong; I sincerely wish that I were. It seems to me that the presidents and board members had other priorities for their virtue signalling (insert here long string of letters) and I would be mighty surpirised if they didn't all and every one of them take the cooties shots and condemn those who did not. Many of these organizations also held events and conferences that barred the unvaxxed. I'm not going to forget it.
Depression and suicide skyrocketing and, for the weaker members of the herd, turbo cancers and euthanasia being offered as a state sponsored option. And yet, not an ounce of rebellion. Just the occasional squeak of powerless resignation whilst servilely continuing to feed the Beast that is bleeding us dry under the foolish delusion that were not on Their genocide list! Truly mindboggling.
If I walked into my GPs office demading a script for a problem he would think that I have lost my mind. He is always telling me to 'lose weight, get exercise, go keto, and stop being such a grump.'
He has a sticker on his computer of a loaf of bread with an X through it lol.
this is one of your best pieces, Bill. reminds me of meryl nass' classic piece on cognitive dissonance among the jabbed and why they won't fight against it, since acknowledging how deadly it is would make them complicit in killing their kids https://merylnass.substack.com/p/ghoulishly-clever-psyop-pits-our
Thanks for sharing that one. Dr. Nass nailed it: "Requiring that all family members and friends be vaccinated protects you from facing those for whom this discussion does not trigger the existential and uncontrollable pain it does for the vaccinated.
"And Voila--you have a controlled and cowed population who have become their own thought police."
That's also why they did away with all the placebo arms of all the safety studies.
i don't think there's been a placebo-controlled study of any vax since the 1970s. the trials always involve something toxic as a control to make the vax seem less dangerous
I keep suggesting a vaccine study of the perfect placebo group - the Amish, who receive no "vaccines" - and seem to be quite healthy and never catch or die from the "vaccine" diseases.
Most of my readers know my No. 1 New Abnormal Maxim: "Never investigate that which you don't want to CONFIRM."
That's funny. I noticed something similar over the last 2 days watching a male supplement commercial. There were several male celebrities/athletes collaborating together in the commercial to promote it's benefits, but they don't give any disclaimers or side effects at the end. I noticed all of them are bald. I started wondering if that was a way of promoting potential side effects without saying it. I can be just like them if I just take this supplement. It's a testosterone supplement, supposedly. I've heard balding is a side effect of taking steroids. I'm going to stay away from that product because I don't want any of the other side effects I've heard coming from 'male enhancement' products
Have you noticed Tiger Woods is in the group of prematurely bald? Tiger says he never used steroids as a performance enhancing drug ... but I don't believe him. The guy went from a string bean to a ripped 190 pounds, someone who looks like an NFL safety.
But the Powers that Be couldn't expose Tiger Woods as a liar and serial cheater.
I was just thinking that this last weekend when he was all over the sports news after his son hit a hole in one. He looks just as you described and it did not look normal for a golfer
Mr. Grisham may be intelligent but he sold out his Mississippi roots long ago so he would be included in the “in” crowd just like Mr. Kelce. I would like to see what Grisham would say about the legal shenanigans carried out against Trump over the last several years. I’ll bet he won’t be including Trump in his list of framed, innocent victims.
Admittedly, this is something that I know of only indirectly though since I don't watch regular TV nor do I have cable TV. Haven't in over a decade now. Maybe that is why I didn't fall for the propaganda.
A few "Price is Right" Asides ...
- Am I the only viewer who’s noticed the cars “The Price is Right” gives away have shrunk in size by 75 percent?
When the models tower above the rooflines of the cars, shrinkflation has hit “The Price is Right.”
- Also - again, maybe it’s just me - but back in 1975 the members of the studio audience looked a lot healthier than they do today.
Come to think of it, people started to look much older, sicker and fatter when Anthony Fauci took over the NIH and HHS.
I watched the show for about 30 minutes recently. It’s probably been at least 15 years since I have watched it. They seemed to have a strong commitment to DEI, yet some of the prizes were laughable.

Bill - what are your thoughts on what will happen if the new administration no longer allows big pharma to advertise on tv?
That would be the easiest and perhaps best reform so I hope they do it. All media companies will have a conniption fit. There's not enough non Big Pharma advertisers left to pay for the subsidizing of all these networks. It will probably bring about more paid subscriber streaming businesses - and make the price of everyone's TV go up.
But networks will no longer have an incentive to cover for Big Pharma. Do you think this will actually happen?
Right - no incentive to cover for Big Pharma. So does that mean they will start reporting the truth about vax injuries?
I’m fervently praying that it does indeed happen.
They probably wouldn't start investigating the truth because belatedly reporting the truth would expose themselves as being complicit in all the lies and crimes.
Still, if they're not getting any more money from Big Pharma, why would they have to keep running cover for Big Pharma?
Wouldn't that be wonderful? I'm so sick of seeing the drug ads! 30 years, or so, is enough!
and the ambulance chasing lawyers!!
For sure!
I also always get a little depressed when I watch "The Price is Right" because every episode - 50 years into the show - reveals that half the contestants don't know to go $1 over the highest price made by previous contestants or bid $1 to make sure they win if the price is lower than the other three contestants guessed.

Edited: Grammatical error.
I hadn't heard this.
Rosanne Boyland died after falling among the protesters. Initial Media reprts stated she died from acute amphetamine intoxication. Video which was released under court order which was withheld from the public for years, showed a Capitol Hill Police individual beating Boyland across the head with a service baton. washingtonexaminer.com/news/1857999/video-shows-officer-striking-motionless-woman-on-the-ground-during-capitol-riot/
NYT which falsely reported officer killed by being struck by fire extinguisher, falsely reported Rosanne Boykin died of amphetamine overdose. Google search today still shows first results as this initial claim. You have to go to 3rd or 4th page of search to get the police attack story. Liars all.
It's true. I forget her name :( but she was on the ground and beaten to death by a Capitol police officer.
No consequences to the cop, as I recall.
It didn't seem to be as big a story as the shooting by scaredy cop.
Back when my wife worked in medical offices, all the pharma sales reps were young attractive females, dressed to the 9’s. Not sure how much it’s changed.
Yep. Those drug dealers don't look like the home boys pushing product on the street corners of Baltimore as depicted in "The Wire."
Things have changed since "doctors" (aka drug pushers) are no longer decision-makers, with government "health authorities" mandating what they can prescribe and restricting their autonomy to virtually nothing.
The last ones I saw, in person, fit that description. It wasn't that long ago either.
Another great article, Bill. Happy holidays to you and your family!
You will never read a Grisham investigation on c-vid. He appears to be in the cult of progessivism.
I know. One of my favorite pastimes on Substack is calling out hypocrites - those who self-identify as fearless truth-seekers and justice seekers. That group includes EVERY mainstream "journalist."

Me either 👊
He is one of the many cowards who want to keep their celebrity intact at all costs. No fear of God.

I think that's why he developed severe back problems. He overdeveloped his upper body with drugs and his lower body couldn't take the stress.
I was just thinking that this last weekend when he was all over the sports news after his son hit a hole in one. He looks just as you described and it did not look normal for a golfer
I don't think they have to give side effects on supplements.
