    Tom Selleck is laying down the law.

    While "Blue Bloods" is set to end after 14 years, the actor expressed his sentiments towards the cancelation of the popular show.

    "I’m kind of frustrated. During those last eight shows, I haven’t wanted
    to talk about an ending for ‘Blue Bloods’ but about it still being wildly successful," the 79-year-old told TV Insider.

    He further explained the success of "Blue Bloods," and how it ranked
    number nine out of 100 in the Top 100 Shows of 2023-2024. Selleck has
    starred in the crime drama since 2010.

    "I’m not going to turn into a bitter old guy saying, ‘Get off my lawn!’"
    said Selleck.

    "I don’t believe in holding grudges, but if you were to say to the
    television network, ‘Here’s a show you can program in the worst time slot
    you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the
    next 15 years,’ it would be almost impossible to believe," he added.

    "My frustration is the show was always taken for granted because it
    performed from the get-go."

    — Tom Selleck
    He continued, "My frustration is the show was always taken for granted
    because it performed from the get-go. So, how do I feel? It’s going to
    take a long time to sort all of this out."

    Selleck, who stars as Commissioner Frank Reagan on the CBS show, added it
    may take time for him to process that the show is coming to an end.

    "I remember after the weekend [of the final episode’s shoot], I said,
    ‘I’ve got to get to bed early tonight because I have to do my dialogue for Monday.' Well, there was no Monday. It’s just going to take a while."

    "Blue Bloods" is slated to air its final eight episodes in December.

    The "Magnum, P.I." actor’s comments came after he confessed he may be
    forced to give up his California ranch without the income he earned from
    the show.

    In May, he talked about his long, successful career that has spanned
    across decades. In discussing it, he told "CBS Mornings," "You know,
    hopefully I keep working enough to hold onto the place."

    "The place" is his 63-acre ranch in Ventura County, California. He
    purchased it in 1988 after he quit "Magnum: PI." It used to be an avocado
    farm before a drought hit, but now, Selleck focuses on rebuilding the
    place.

    The reporter seemed shocked that Selleck could actually lose his ranch,
    asking, "Seriously, that's an issue? If you stopped working?"

    "That's always an issue," the actor admitted. "If I stopped working, yeah.
    Am I set for life? Yeah, but maybe not on a 63-acre ranch!"

    His first credited roles came in the late 1960s, and since then, he has developed a huge name for himself.

    Selleck married wife Jillie Mack in 1987. He was previously married to Jaqueline Ray. The two share a daughter named Hannah and a son named
    Kevin.

    Explain why are you death threat prosecution exempt by the Feds so far?

    And after _so many_ public death threats you issued on Trump and Vance...

    Let's do our best to change that, shall we:

    No. I am a patriotic American who wants the country and its people to
    thrive. Getting rid of Trump permanently
    is an important step to getting there.

    That constitutes a DEATH THREAT against a former President, Rudey:


    https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/871
    18 U.S. Code § 871 - Threats against President and successors to the Presidency
    U.S. Code
    Notes
    prev | next
    (a)Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail
    or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any
    letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any
    threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon
    the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice
    President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office
    of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or
    knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the
    President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the
    order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect,
    shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years,
    or both.
    (b)The terms “President-elect” and “Vice President-elect” as used in this section shall mean such persons as are the apparent successful
    candidates for the offices of President and Vice President,
    respectively, as ascertained from the results of the general elections
    held to determine the electors of President and Vice President in
    accordance with title 3, United States Code, sections 1 and 2. The
    phrase “other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President” as used in this section shall mean the person next in the
    order of succession to act as President in accordance with title 3,
    United States Code, sections 19 and 20.
    (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 740; June 1, 1955, ch. 115, § 1, 69
    Stat. 80; Pub. L. 87–829, § 1, Oct. 15, 1962, 76 Stat. 956; Pub. L. 97–297, § 2, Oct. 12, 1982, 96 Stat. 1318; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(H), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)

    Service Protectees
    The Counterterrorism Section of the National Security Division has
    supervisory authority over 18 U.S.C. §§ 871 and 879 cases. As great
    caution must be taken in matters relating to the security of the persons protected by 18 U.S.C. § 871, United States Attorneys are encouraged to consult with the Counterterrorism Section (CTS) of the National Security Division when they have doubts on the prosecutive merit of a case. For
    the same reason, dismissal of complaints under 18 U.S.C. § 871, when the defendant is in custody under the Mental Incompetency Statutes (18
    U.S.C. §§ 4244, 4246), requires approval from CTS. In other cases,
    United States Attorneys must consult prior to dismissing a count

    settlement involving a § 871 charge.


    https://www.secretservice.gov/newsroom/releases/2024/01/phoenix-man-arrested-making-online-death-threats-against-president-and

    PHOENIX –David Michael Hanson, 41, of Phoenix, was arrested on Wednesday
    for making online threats against the President and Vice-President.
    Hanson was charged by Federal criminal complaint on Tuesday with five
    counts of Threats Against the President and Successors to the Presidency
    and five counts of Interstate Communication of Threats.

    The complaint alleges that in November and December of 2023, while
    living in Arizona, Hanson used a social media platform to post threats
    to murder the President and Vice President of the United States. On
    November 19, 2023, Hanson posted online a series of threatening
    statements including one that stated, “#joeAndKamala I’m asking you to resign on Monday your alternative is death brutally murdered.” After the
    U.S. Secret Service spoke to Hanson and warned him that it was a Federal
    crime to post such threats, on December 23, 2023, Hanson posted another
    series of similar threats aimed at the President and Vice-President.

    Each count of Threats Against the President and Successors to the
    Presidency carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a fine of
    up to $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release. Each count
    of Interstate Communication of Threats carries a maximum sentence of
    five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release.

    A complaint is simply a method by which a person is charged with
    criminal activity and raises no inference of guilt. An individual is
    presumed innocent until evidence is presented to a jury that establishes
    guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

    The United States Secret Service is conducting the investigation in this
    case. The United States Attorney’s Office, District of Arizona, is
    handling the prosecution.
