Predictably and most notably, the “college elite” (Harvard’s educated trash) have sided with Hamas in the conflict with Israel. There have been comparisons to BLM with the Palestinians, calling Israel the “oppressor”. While the word “Nazi” is a favorite insult from progressives, what do they think the real Nazis were trying to do in WWII? Besides world conquest, they wanted to kill all the Jews.
The left always take the other (wrong) side for various reasons: to be cutting edge, to be controversial and to get attention. But this time they have gone too far. Words have consequences. What you put down on the Internet stays there forever. People will remember this betrayal.
Iran has funded their operation, coming one month after it was announced that Biden would unfreeze $6 billion for the release of five hostages held prisoner in Iran. 2+2 =4. LINK
While the MSM won’t show it, Hamas murdered, raped and beheaded men, women, children and babies. What do you think of that? Most soldiers would not commit these kinds of atrocities. This hasn’t stopped Democrats from saying Israel shouldn’t be there anyway.
The usual suspects (the “Squad”) have called for peace. It’s a little late for that.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI), won’t comment and that doesn’t surprise me, because obviously she supports the Palestinians no matter what. Most were surprised by the October 7th attacks. I wasn’t. A leopard can’t change its spots. The Biden-Obama administration look like what they are: capitulators and collaborators. Obama has done this before. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/u-s-paid-1-3-billion-to-iran-two-days-after-cash-delivery/
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has, for this brief moment in time, the world’s support. The terrorist gov’t of Hamas should be destroyed by any means necessary.
Final Analysis. We, here in the United States, have in our midst, an untold number of illegal immigrants, terrorist cells, plotting against us. It’s only a matter of time. The 2024 General Election could be a deciding factor as to how we will deal with this enemy from within.
When asked about two miles of the border wall being erected on the U.S./Mexico border, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has stated the Biden Administration is now complying with the Dept. of Homeland’s Security’s “rule of law”. This means they have NOT complied for the last two and a half years, doesn’t it?
Back in Jan. 2021, Dems were thrilled with our new open border policy. The bad orange man was gone. Now, America was open to as many immigrants as could and would be allowed. As everyone knows, most of these foreigners could be counted on to vote for the big “D”. Let’s drown the Republicans in a sea of the great unwashed masses.
What Went Wrong?
2023. Suddenly, the left realized these refugees might actually affect them. In fact, they may be transported to their state! Their city! Their neighborhood!
Blacks, homeless, retired veterans and the poor were being pushed aside – ignored – while the human filth of the world were being dumped into the good, ol’ USA. People who are illiterates, diseased, or worse looking for a free ride (welfare, food stamps) and finally – terrorists. Didn’t we learn anything from 9/11?
The left frequently quote what’s written on the Statue of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, etc.” THIS IS NOT THE LAW OF THE LAND – THE U.S. CONSTITUTION IS. There’s a legal process, where those who want to immigrate have to be vetted, screened, inoculated and wait. Does anyone think the millions of illegals brought in during Obama (2009-2015) and Biden (2021-present) were vetted?
The damage is done. Building a two mile piecemeal bit of wall won’t make up for the anti-American elements we’ve brought in at the behest of – let’s face it- Barack Obama – the America hater who sold his ass to rich white men in Hawaii for cocaine and is now getting back at us for his pain and guilt.
Sept. 30, House of Representatives. N.Y. Rep. Jamaal Bowman is caught on a security camera pulling a fire alarm switch, causing an evacuation and delaying a vote. House Democrats wanted to delay a vote to prevent a government shutdown.
Since then, Bowman has been accused of a criminal offense, similar to what protestors were charged with for the Jan. 6th protest march. (Dems call J6 “an insurrection.”)
Bowman’s excuse: The door was locked, so he panicked, pulling the fire alarm, thinking the doors would open. This argument fails because Bowman was formally a middle school principal and knows fire alarms don’t open doors.
Bowman’s office issued some talking points for House Democrats telling them what to say on social media and referred to MAGA Republicans as “Nazis”. Again, he walked back this statement.
Dems and the MSM have done what they always do, circled the wagons and rushed to his defense, saying Bowman made a mistake and was only confused.
Analysis. If the Dems had been smart, they would’ve said nothing. His act speaks for itself. A third grader would know he’s lying. Instead, Democrats lower themselves to his level. They are duplicitous scam artists.
There’s a video of Bowman laughing like a hysterical 13 year old when Trump’s mug shot was show on TV. “We got him,” he burbles, then keeps on laughing. This pretty much sums up the kind of people who are after Trump.
This is the GOP’s chance to have all the J6ers released if Bowman goes unpunished. You can’t have two sets of laws for the people you favor. If Bowman is punished by censure, it hardly equals what the J6ers are going through locked up by the corrupt Biden-Obama administration.
Pundits (MSM, et al) have been commenting for some time that Pres. Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer’s Disease during the second term of his Presidency. This is a false claim and always has been. Reagan’s diagnosis occurred in 1994. Unlike Joe Biden, Ronald Reagan submitted to cognitive tests while President at the behest of the Democrats and he always passed with flying colors.
Biden, on the other hand, has refused to take any cognitive test for obvious reasons.
As further proof, the above video is of Pres. Reagan at the 1992 Republican Convention: FOUR YEARS AFTER HIS PRESIDENCY.
Below the Reagan video is Biden’s September 10th 2023 press conference in Vietnam. Compare the two.
I myself, saw Pres. Reagan speak in person, back in 1989. He was as sharp as a tack, making more sense than Biden ever has.
Biden’s mental decline has and will continue to become more pronounced. His inability to lead and continued self-confessions that he’s only “following orders” is proof Biden is a fake president, led by other unelected forces.
It should be made mandatory for this and any other president to submit to tests which demonstrate his mental powers. This should go hand-in-hand with the Republicans impeachment of Biden in the House of Representatives.
Joe Biden is unfit to be president. He is a potential danger to us, if and when he ever decides to launch some type of military attack on a foreign country or any perceived enemy, real or imagined.
70% of Americans believe Biden should not seek a second term. If Biden’s mental health were made known to the public, most would demand he step down for the good of the country and stop being forced to campaign as “the safe candidate who beat Trump.” Trump is not the enemy and the adults in the room know this.
The enemy is from without and within. It is from those who seek to “fundamentally transform” us. It is from those foreign powers who have declared us as their enemy – the same regimes the Democrats want to make friends with. Radical Islam, Iran, Syria, Somalia, Nigeria, Yemen, Egypt, Pakistan, Libya, Mali and Iraq – all Arabic terrorist nations. While China, North Korea and Russia pose their own threats – if WWIII begins – it will begin from Muslims who continue to view us as the Great Satan.
If Biden isn’t running the country, who is? With Biden’s cabinet filled with Obama appointees, including VP Kamala Harris, the truth is clear. We are living under a proxy presidency.
Faux President Biden would, for the first time since 2002, be the first President not to appear at any of the sites where the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred. This non-message is its own message, loud and clear. The devastation of what happened twenty-three years ago has not only been forgotten by Democrats, it has been replaced. Who do the Democrats regard as their enemy? The Republicans. A made-up white supremacy movement. Former President Donald J. Trump. And anyone who doesn’t agree with them.
January 6, 2021. Americans First Amendment Right.
JANUARY 6TH. The madness of leftist’s rage against the an insurrection that never took place. The lunacy of locking up good Americans without any right of habeas corpus – a legal action to challenge the lawfulness of detention or imprisonment. The stupidity of impeaching Pres. Trump for making a speech.
Of course, it goes on with the continued indictments of Trump. For what? Questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election? Isn’t that what Democrats did for two and a half years with the phony Russian collusion story cooked up by the Great Satan Hillary Clinton? What about Obama and Clinton spying on Trump before and after he was President? Wasn’t Nixon forced to resign over less? What about “Creepy Joe Biden’s” announced plan to make sure Trump never assumes office again?
For over two and a half years, the Republicans have had control over the House of Representatives, and thus far, there has been no impeachment vote for the many provable crimes of Joe Biden. Biden is on the record for denying the crooked business dealings he made with Hunter Biden, with Burisma, with China, with Ukraine. What are the Republicans waiting for?
Even former President Obama and former wannabe president Hillary Clinton have voiced their concern about how their party is vulnerable from wokeness, from identity politics, from trans issues, and from the sick perversions that have taken over the Dems. 2024 could and should be a landslide for the GOP, if only from the near destruction of the dollar and inflation. But it will be a repeat of 2020, unless the Republicans grow a spine and stop the sick, deviant culture of the far left from taking over our country.
No one seems to ask this question: What if our government had done its job and protected the public from the September 11th terrorist attacks? 9/11 as the 9/11 Commission Report admitted was our government’s failure to think outside the box. That’s if you buy into the notion they didn’t know or see it coming. But, what if the 9/11 hijackers had been captured or killed? What if Osama bin Laden had been assassinated before he had a chance to formulate his plan against the United States? What if 9/11 had never happened?
NO IRAQ WAR
Most forget Pres. George W. Bush had congressional approval for the war in Iraq. Without 9/11, he surely would not have received it.
NO SECOND TERM FOR BUSH
9/11 was Bush’s mandate. I suspect either John Kerry or Hillary Clinton would have defeated him in 2004.
A WEAKER IRAN
Destroying Saddam’s Hussein’s regime left Iran the controlling force in the region. Today, Iran seeks nuclear power and not for energy. For ICBMs. This may be the only country in the world insane enough to start World War III.
NO HOMELAND SECURITY OR PATRIOT ACT
TSA airport body scans
Airport search
Obviously, 9/11 was used to clamp down on our security. In truth, it curtailed our Constitutional Rights and freedoms. The Muslim fanatics weren’t punished. We were.
2,996 PEOPLE STILL ALIVE
Those killed on 9/11 would have gone on to live their lives, have children and so on. How the world would have been affected by them, we’ll nver know.
NO OBAMA PRESIDENCY
In 2008, then junior-Senator Barack Obama ran against one of the weakest presidential candidates the GOP ever had. John McCain. For whatever crazy reason, the American public, despite being warned about Obama’s foreign born status, his Islamic roots, his Communist background and worst of all, being the front-man for the Weather Underground, they elected him for past wrongs done to African-Americans and for their disappointment with the war in Iraq. Without 9/11, as previously stated, another more traditional candidate would have been elected president.
TWIN TOWERS WOULD STILL BE THERE
The WTC had become symbols of America’s financial strength. That’s why Osama bin Laden chose it for destruction. Manhattan’s skyline changed forever. The grotesque new One World Trade Center with a Muslim spiral on top was put there to prevent it from being destroyed. The remains of the Twin Towers are two gaping holes filled with water: symbols of failure and defeat.
Flight 93. Because of the brave actions of the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93, the fourth target located in Washington, D.C. was left unharmed. How ironic that the public saved a part of our gov’t when the gov’t did nothing to save them.
The mollusk-brained Biden visited Hawaii to oversee the worst disaster in U.S. history. His out-of-touch behavior further proved we have no President. Just a husk of the what is the worst kind of politician. A pathetic “flim-flam man”. It is divine justice that Biden’s brain is fading out fast. The MSM knows it, of course. They are relying on die-hard Democrats to not care who is in office as long as it’s one of them. Biden can’t relate to the common man, although he pretends to. Folks in Maui lost everything and our faux President compares his small kitchen fire twenty years ago to the devastation that has destroyed a city.
Lahaina destroyed because an Obama official didn’t want to use water to put out the fire because water is sacred. Fire alarms and sirens weren’t used because “they’re for tsunamis.”
The unexpected hit of this summer is “Sound of Freedom” and it is ruffling some feather amongst the left-wing ruling class. Perpetual attacks from the MSM calling this film “a conspiracy theory from Q-anon.” How is human trafficking a theory? It is and was a well know fact – a news story going back for decades.
“Sound of Freedom” starring Jim Caviezel – the movie Hollywood couldn’t stop.
What troubles those who are against “Sound of Freedom”? Is it a truth that hits too close to home? For some time, there have been rumors of certain leaders within the Democratic Party who are involved in some way or another with sex trafficking.
Fake President Joe Biden with the kiddies. MSM ignores it.
Joe Biden’s fetish for small children is well known and joked about amongst the political intelligentsia. It should come as no surprise, when you poke the bear with a stick, the bear will strike back.
MSM headlines attack “Sound of Freedom” as “Christian Republican right-wing propaganda.” What is the majority of Hollywood content? Pagan, left-wing, progressive propaganda.
How demented have the left become when they can’t agree with the right on this one single issue? How far away is it when child molesting perverts begin demanding equal rights as did the LGBTQers? Or is that time already here? If a movie fights against child-sex-intercontinental-prostitution – and it’s a true story, no less – why does it become a target of the “woke”? Doesn’t this prove the old saying: “You are defined by who your enemies are.”
The Clintons were frequent visitors to the Island of Perversion. Why is Pres. Trump being indicted?
Police and media coverup involving the death of Obama’s chef, Tafari Campbell
What we now know.
July 23, 2023. In the early evening hours, Tafari Campbell and another unknown paddle-boarder went swimming near the former President’s beach front estate. Around nine p.m., a female called 911, reporting the death of Campbell. This phone call took place two miles away.
Contrary to initial reports, the Obamas were home and were cleared out by the Secret Service.
For whatever reason, police left the reason for the 911 call blank and will not reveal the identity of the other swimmer.
Tafari Campbell’s body wasn’t found until ten a.m. the next morning. His face showed signs of injury.
According to commentator Dinesh D’souza, Campbell had intentions of quitting his job and writing his memoirs about life with the Obamas. If BHO’s chef posed such a threat, I’d expect this means their future plans for politics are not over.
It will go down as the joke of the century that Dr. Anthony Fauci, who according to the MSM was “the most trusted man in America” in regards to what we, the public, should do about the Covid-19 outbreak. Maybe, someday in the future (100 years from now), when the truth can be told, it will be revealed that China, the Democratic Party and Dr. Fauci used germ warfare to win the 2020 General Election and defeat former President Donald Trump.
July 23, 2023. Tafari Campbell, Obama’s longtime personal friend and chef, drowned off of Martha Vineyard’s shore in an area known as “Edgartown Great Pond”. His body was found one hundred feet from shore in eight feet of water. The Obama’s who, (according to the MSM), were not home at the time, said they were “heartbroken”.
Hunter Biden with paid friend
Hunter Biden’s lawyer attempted to impersonate opposing counsel in an attempt to remove charges and claims made by GOP’s whistleblowers. The matter was dismissed as a “miscommunication”. Nevertheless, Hunter still faces charges for failure to pay his income taxes from 2017-2018. The felony charge of purchasing a firearm while under the influence of a controlled substance (cocaine) seems to be off the table. Likewise, Hunter’s transporting prostitutes across state lines, paid for with the “Big Guy’s” $. Why use your own moola? Lawyers attempted to receive “blanket immunity” from Judge Noreika (a Trump appointed judge.)
BLM riot
Jason’s Aldean’s video “Try That in a Small Town” will have all BLM (Black Lives Matter) video removed because of “copyright issues”. Apparently, someone in Aldrean’s camp chickened-out.
“Try That in a Small Town” sung by Jason Aldean is #1 on the charts and has been banned by Country Music Television.
CMT has banned “Try That in a Small Town” for being “racist” despite showing actual news clips of ANTIFA and BLM rioting during most of 2020. The left-wing faggot typically looks for reasons to be offended. Well, if you’re going to offend somebody, do it in spades. The fact that this song is number one speaks volumes as to where our country is now and does not bode well for the Democrats.
Opinions on the upcoming 2024 General Election: the Dems plan to steal it in the same way they did in 2020. Since then, nothing has been done by the GOP to stop ballot harvesting and the rigged voting machines of foreign origin.
With the rotten job Biden’s done if he wins (or whomever else runs) wins by seven million votes, expect hell to pay.
While President Biden is meeting with Sweden’s Prime Minister, a reporter asks the President if he knows how cocaine got into The White House pic.twitter.com/iJw1OxYTVB
Vegetable Biden was queried as to how a packet of cocaine was found in the situation room of the White House. Our faux-Prez gave a shit-eating grin and said nothing.
Hunter Biden (crackhead son of “Sleepy, Creepy Joe”) had been in the White House earlier during the 4th of July celebration and appeared high. Do the math.
The White House has surveillance cameras everywhere. It would be relatively easy to find out who the guilty party is, if they or the MSM wanted to. They don’t.
“I AM SITTING HERE WITH MY FATHER AND WE WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE COMMITTMENT MADE HAS NOT BEEN FULFILLED. TELL THE DIRECTOR THAT I WOULD LIKE TO RESOLVE THIS NOW BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF HAND, AND NOW MEANS TONIGHT. AND, Z, IF I GET A CALL OR TEXT FROM ANYONE INVOLVED IN THIS OTHER THAN YOU, ZHANG, OR THE CHAIRMAN, I WILL MAKE CERTAIN THAT BETWEEN THE MAN SITTING NEXT TO ME AND EVERY PERSON HE KNOWS AND MY ABILITY TO FOREVER HOLD A GRUDGE THAT YOU WILL REGRET NOT FOLLOWING MY DIRECTION. I AM SITTING HERE WAITING FOR THE CALL WITH MY FATHER.”
This is further proof our fraudulent President knew and was involved in his son’s illegal business deals, something he has repeatedly denied. The FBI and DOJ refuse to investigate. It is up to the Republicans in Congress to expose the worst President in U.S. history.
Virgin Islands delegate Stacey Plaskett said on MSNBC’s “Sunday Show with Johnathan Capehart”, that former President Trump “needs to be shot.” Then, reversed herself by saying “stopped.” (This was in reference to Trump formerly having had the “nuclear code” and top secret information at his Mar-a-Lago residence.)
Now most of you reading this will say it was a Freudian slip or a slip-of-the-tongue. Or was it? Does the deep state have those kinds of plans for our former President? As I’ve stated in numerous articles in the past, the Illuminati will put out hints of a coming disaster before it happens.
It’s pretty obvious by what’s happening right now. A sitting President is trying to take down his political opponent in the next election with espionage charges… While all the while Biden is surrounded by acts of political corruption, mental decay and his son’s laptop computer containing enough information to sink the Titanic.
Citizens, 2024 will be a turning point for the USA.
Since 202o, before the General Election, the FBI has withheld a document proving Biden & Son’s bribery with Ukraine, a country we are pouring billions of dollars into with a war with Russia. Additionally, there are secret recordings Ukraine used to blackmail our current President into doing their bidding.
Apparently, both Joe and Hunter Biden received $5,000,000 each from the energy company Burisma in order for to stop (and replace) Ukraine’s federal prosecutor investigation into their crooked financial dealings. When asked faux Pres. Biden replied, “Where’s the money?” Answer: Biden’s criminal enterprise uses eleven banks to launder his funds through different identities.
Predictably, the media is staying far, far away from Biden’s bribery scandal, concentrating on former Pres. Trump’s false charges of espionage. Every President (including Biden) has had access to their presidential papers…all except Trump.
Those of you will recall Pres. Trump being impeached by the House of Representatives for investigating then VP Biden’s illegal dealings with Burisma. So far, no calls for impeachment for Biden’s payoffs.
Summation: Quoting Greg Gutfeld, Biden acts like he knows he’ll win a second term. (Meaning the fix is in.) That is true, but my gut tells me Biden’s health will not sustain him. I do not see a second term for Biden.
April 11, 2023. Actor and Oscar winner Jamie Foxx suffered what the mainstream media calls a “medical complication” after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine for an upcoming film.
May 30, 2023. Reporter A.J. Benza announced on “Ask Dr. Drew” that Jaime Foxx was left blind and partially paralyzed because of the side effects from the experimental vaccine.
Virtual media silence existed until recently when the MSM is now being forced to combat Benza-Dr. Drew’s report as a “conspiracy theory”.
Foxx’s daughter Corrine has tried (unsuccessfully) to dispel rumors by saying her father was released from the hospital – – leaving out the part about him being transferred to a Chicago rehabilitation center.
CORRINE FOXX’S UPDATE HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE FALSE. REPORTEDLY, HER FATHER NEARLY DIED AND IS SLOWLY MAKING A RECOVERY FROM A BAD REACTION FROM THE COVID-19 VACCINE.
The media, in conjunction with corporate big pharma, is rewriting the story, claiming the actor suffered a stroke. …But, what caused the stroke?
Benza and Dr. Drew believe the vaccine led to a blood clot in the brain.
Jaime Foxx’s “statement” on Instagram: “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed.”
SUMMATION. Since it began, EricReports.com has been against any forced plan to vaccinate the public with this experimental vaccine (as fake President Biden did until it was ruled unconstitutional.) I have not and will not accept the current Covid-19 inoculation. In the final analysis, it is not safe.
While Foxx could have declined the shot, he was pressured into it for a new film titled “Back in Action”. (It is doubtful he will ever finish it.)
The MSM has and will continue to push their plan to eventually force everyone to receive the “jab”, whether they like it or not.
The media black-out on what really happened to Jaime Foxx is obvious censorship. If you don’t like a news story, rewrite it and call the facts a conspiracy theory. A few years ago, singer Eric Clapton was also left with frozen, numb, burning hands inhibiting his ability to play the guitar.
It is my hope that Foxx, what’s left of him, makes a public announcement declaring the Covid-19 vaccine as unsafe.
“Bud Light” trans model Dylan Mulvaney causes beer sales to plummet
No caption necessary
VP Harris in gay pride parade
In the past, the so-called rebels , those leftist adolescent-minded youth who wanted to shock Mommy and Daddy threw temper tantrums for attention.
In the 2020’s, we have an unfortunate trend steeped in deviancy. As I noted after gay marriage was legalized in 2015, the habitual protestor wouldn’t be satisfied. He/she/it would look for new depths to plumb. Henceforth, we have the transgender revolution. The Biden admin has even endorsed gender reassignment surgery for children. The fake Biden presidency perfectly reflects what these people are – imitations of the original. Like it or not, you can’t change your chromosomes. You’re either XX or XY – there’s no in-between.
On Twitter, the documentary “What is a Woman?” has gone viral. It asks a simple question that progressives are unable to answer.
I’m not sure what future generations will think of this sick-minded culture. If sanity prevails, they’ll write it off as another Sodom & Gomorrah.
The attacks on male/female identity comes straight from Satan. Read Genesis Chapter 1, verse 27. “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female, he created them.”
Baphomet – both male and female – head of the rebellious goat – the devil in another guise.
The DNC has announced there will be no primary debates. Robert Kennedy Jr., who is polling at 19% is being shut out of the race, along with Marianne Williamson (9%.) The reason why is obvious. Biden’s mental decline continues. He needs handlers to tell him where to walk. He needs cards to tell him what to say. Our fake President wanders off-stage, lost and unknowing, in front of the MSM, who pretends it isn’t happening.
The DNC’s plan. To continue to control what the media sees of the vegetable Biden – and that means as little as possible. The 2020 plan was to keep Biden in the basement during the Covid plan-demic.
2024. Biden is president now. He doesn’t have to do anything he doesn’t want to.
What he will do: film a few campaign ads, make a speech, then return to his potty chair.
The DNC’s hope. Just as long as our vacant-minded president wins re-election, Kamala Harris inherits the throne. (After “Sleepy” Joe is declared incompetent.)
The above video clip is from the final broadcast of Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show.
Fox News highest rated news program hosted by Tucker Carlson was cancelled amidst a flurry of speculation. His last show aired on Friday, Apr. 21, 2023. This has happened before shortly before an election season. It is more than coincidental that political commentators are removed, especially by criminal organizations like the DNC.
Rush Limbaugh’s TV show was cancelled before Bill Clinton’s ’96 run. He remained on radio until his death.
Glenn Beck was cancelled before Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election time. Beck has since started his own network on the Internet called the Blaze.
Andrew Brietbart conveniently died from a heart attack at the age of 43 before Obama’s 2012 run. Brietbart reportedly had plans to derail Obama’s 2nd term.
Following the 2016 election of Pres. Donald Trump, Bill O’Reilly was pressured out of Fox News, supposedly for sexual harassment. In reality, the final charge was baseless. Hillary Clinton believed “The O’Reilly Factor” got Trump elected and his show was cancelled as revenge.
Tucker Carlson is a truther and the MSM doesn’t like or want truthers. Speaking the truth is a dangerous thing.
Fox lost $787 million in the Dominion Voting Machine lawsuit. It is rumored cancelling Tucker Carlson’s show was thrown in as part of the deal.
