Extra Special Announcement

    On Thursday, June 8, 2023, people of the United States of America learned that a federal indictment from the U.S. Department of Justice (a corrupt entity, like the Federal Bureau of Investigation) was set down on Donald J. Trump related to documents that had been found in his home in Florida some months previously, and smart and honorable people knew the indictment was more crap from the communists and socialists and progressives and liberals and like such--all the Democrats--and it looked to honor and smart people as if in the long run the rotten people--all the Democrats--were working to put down Donald J. Trump forever and were ultimately working to put Donald J. Trump in jail or prison for as long as possible, since in the United States of America, the Democrats cannot outright kill Donald J. Trump, such as through an assassination, though they have the mind set like those who had been tied to Adolph Hitler (a hard-line socialist) of Germany in the 1930s, when Adolph Hitler had killed high-ranking German officials and rivals through assassinations and such to take over control of the country and then start up World War II, and smart and honor people knew the Democrats really would kill Donald J. Trump if they were able to it and were able to get away with it, as has happened in so many dictatorships of history--from Russia to China--and only idiots in the United States of America lack the incite to know the Democrats are like so many killers tied to politics of history.
    [Note: On June 9, 2023, the indictment document from the U.S. Department of Justice was made public, and there were 37 counts (actually related to what should only be some case (maybe) tied to the Presidential Records Act issue (and one issue) and not tied to an "espionage" issue of 37 counts, the latter of which was being used by the U.S. Department of Justice), and many of the counts announced were tied to 10 years imprisonment, and some were at five years, and several were at twenty years, and if Donald J. Trump were convicted, Donald J. Trump could die in prison, and I make it clear that the conviction counts are not related to serving time concurrently, but they are added together, so a person can see that Joseph Biden--who has to be involved in this U.S. Department of Justice action (having had to sign off on it)--is working to kill Donald J. Trump, as Adolph Hitler killed. [Note: Incidentally, I could liken Joseph Biden to others beyond Adolph Hitler, such as a killer of Iraq history (Saddam Hussein).  Incidentally, I am really talking about Joseph Biden and his associates, like Adolph Hilter and his associates!]]
 

Additional Special Important Announcement

    I now have a document at the website for The Hologlobe Press entitled A COVID-19 Document that Shows the Rottenness of the CDC, Many in the Medical Community, Many in the Media, and All the Democrats, such as Gretchen Whitmer, Andrew Cuomo, and Joseph Biden, and the document can be reached by using this COVID-19 link.

    A small bunch of months ago, WHNE-TV, Channel 3, ended up in the hands of a new owner, and soon after that event, the number of channels tied to the television station was cut down (and it is now nine).  The cutting down of channels put Television Drive-In (Channel 3.6) off the air, and it was a favorite channel of mine, though it could have been improved (by getting rid of the long breaks between movies or putting in more varied filler).  Television Drive-In was a local subchannel, and to me, the subchannel heyday in Detroit has sort of past because of the loss of the channel.  By the way, I have gone to the website for WHNE-TV, and there is no contact information on the page, and a person cannot report a problem with not being able to get some feeds, and I do not recommend doing a rescan of the channel (if you use an digital-to-analog converter with an analog television set) since there seems to be something wrong with Channel 3--Channel 3.2 and Channel 3.6 will not get picked up in a scan, as if some coding with the channels is defective or missing.  More recently, WADL-TV, Channel 38, was put up for sale, and there will soon be a new owner of the channel it seems (if the sale is approved by the federal government).  It seems very likely WADL-TV will change for the worse in some way.  Do not look for a new channel in the 38 group that will be like Television Drive-In was.  I would not be surprise if more repeat channel stuff showed up, such as a feed for a network already seen in southeastern Lower Michigan.  Even though there are nearly a hundred channels available in the broadcast-television universe in the Detroit area, there is so much of the same thing.  Some networks exist on more than one television station, and examples of such networks are shopping networks and religious networks, and some television shows of the past exist on more than on network, such as Columbo, and, actually, if you look at the total subchannel universe, you will see a lot of the same old shows on several networks.  There is not as much diversity or variety as a person might hope for, and series of years gone by are being pushed out by more recent series, which were a part of the downfall of the broadcast networks in recently years, being more violent and dark and being more of the same tone.  That is television in Detroit today and the nation today.

    Well, I am going to solve a dilemma (maybe or maybe in part), using all the powers at my disposal, and it is going to be fun.  In late February 2023, I came across a video on YouTube called "Dilemma.  Dumont Television Network TV show 1953".  It was posted by Larry Urbanski of Moviecraft, Inc., and the video runs eleven minutes and 17 seconds.  It is supposed to be an episode of a television series called Dilemma.  The title of the video puzzled me.  I knew of no series called Dilemma that was on the DuMont Television Network, such as in 1953.  That put me on a hunt!  By the way, the episode of the series presented is "The Girl Who Knew Too Much".  I began by seeing network schedules for the DuMont Television Network of the middle of the 1950s or so, and I found no listing for Dilemma, and I was not surprised, but I double-checked myself and my memory.  I went to a bunch of databases on the Internet, such as those that offered up digital copies of old newspapers and magazines, and I came up with at least a bit of information about the series.  By the way, the video clip had no opening or closing credits.  I discovered the video--which I will call a film, since the original material is film--was made by Richard Galbreath's company and at Richard Galbreath's studios in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in about 1952.  There were 13 episodes in the series, and each ran 15 minutes (though some of the time is for commercials) for a television station, and it was a weekly series.  I found that the series was, in the 1950s, distributed to television stations--ones that bought the series--by at least two distributors (though not at the same time)--Kling TV and Harry S. Goodman Productions.  Incidentally, in 1954, the series was being sold on a "cash" basis, and the cost for each episode (which seemed to cover only one run) ranged from $40.00 to $250.00.  The amounts were probably determined in relation to the size of the television market and the rate card for the time in which the series would by run by the television station that made a buy.  I discovered that Richard Galbreath was a producer and director in the early 1950s, particularly with his company in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  In around 1952, he directed a syndicated television series called King Calico, which had 15-minute episodes, and, for example, it debut on Channel 7, WXYZ-TV, in Detroit on Monday, November 10, 1952, a 3:45 p.m., and it originally ran each week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  It seems very likely to me that Richard Galbreath directed the film presented under "Dilemma.  Dumont Television Network TV show 1953" on YouTube.  I have no proof that Richard Galbreath did direct the show, but it seems very likely that he did.  The story of the short film begins in the Guided Missile Fuel Research office of the Triangle Oil Corporation's Research Development Laboratory.  There, Carter Williams is working with his secretary, and Carter Williams then gives her a task--he shows her an equation and tells her to memorize it.  Carter Williams, whom the gal likes a lot, then burns the piece of paper.  When the day is done at the office, the gal shuts down the office and heads for home, but she is kidnapped by crooks.  That is all that I will say about the plot of the film.  As a television critic, I can say that the production is good--the sets, the photography, the direction, et cetera.  The gal, the name of whom, I know not for sure, does a nice job, and it is fun to see the expression on her face when she looks at Carter Williams, and it is the look of love, which is hard to find done on television today.  At this point, I know the name of one of the performers in the film for certain.  What I did, for example, is I looked at old programs or playbills (offered on the Internet) for the Fort Wayne Civic Theatre; you see it seemed very likely to me that Richard Galbreath had used people in his films that had ties to the theatre.  I found that Cam Applegate did some work at the Fort Wayne Civic Theatre, and I have determined that he played Mr. Ringo in the film offered up on YouTube.  I may know the name of the actress to played the secretary.  In the 1951-1952 season of the Fort Wayne Civic Theatre, a gal named Bette McMullin appeared in A Chicken in Every Pot, and the photograph that I found of the gal looks as if it had been taken for a high-school yearbook.  Bette McMullin in the 1951-1952 playbill looked much like the gal who was in the film.  I wrote Phillip H. Colglazier (the executive artistic director of the Fort Wayne Civic Theatre) on March 1, 2023, and he soon wrote back, saying that is seems very likely that Bette McMullin is the gal in the film, but Phillip H. Colglazier noted that he sent my information on to someone who may be able to verify whether or not Bette McMullin is the right gal.  Around the time the film was made, Bette McMullin was married to Nyal McMullin, who performed in at least one production for the Fort Wayne Civic Theatre in the 1950s.  I sent an email message to the management Brigham Young University, after I had found Bette and Nyal McMullin had had ties to the university, urging someone to pass along my message to someone in the family of Bette and Nyal McMullin so that it might to proved or disproved that Bette McMullin was in the film (based on photographs that I had sent with the email).  So where do things stand?  The film in the video called "Dilemma.  Dumont Television Network TV show 1953" has nothing to do with DuMont Television Network, but a DuMont-affiliated station may have bought the series called Dilemma in the syndication marketplace and aired the series.  I have not found any hint that the series aired in the Detroit area.  I like the little film, and I urge others to see it, given it is more watchable that much on broadcast network television today.  Remember: It was made in 1952, only a couple years into the real start of the heyday of syndication of entertainment fiction series, which it can be said began in earnest in the 1949-1950 period.  At the moment, I cannot report that main gal in the video is Bette McMullin, lacking extra proof, going beyond my examination of images from the video and an image from a playbill tied to Bette McMullin.  Maybe some day, a member of Bette McMullin's family will come forward with proof.
    [Note: Richard Galbreath happened to direct the 1962-released film called Night of Evil, which featured Lisa Gaye and William Campbell, both of whom did work on the 1950s/1960s Perry Mason television series, and it seems the movie had been made in 1960.]

  Announcement for the novice again (reworked in March 2019): To get useful television-delivered news or Internet-delivered news, try Breitbart News Network (the history of which goes back to 2007), WorldNetDaily.com, Newsmax TV (which was started up in 2014), CNS News (which is on the Internet and which was launched on June 16, 1998), and One America News Network (a.k.a. OAN), since the entities do not blindly support Barack Obama-type people (communists, socialists, progressives, liberals, and Shariaists), as do CNN, MSNBC, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and ABC-TV (Note: To learn about bad journalism, you might tune in to CNN, MSNBC, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and ABC-TV from time to time to see how they differ from the better places mentioned).  I note that the Fox News Channel is evolving into a rotten channel, becoming like those that I have put down in this paragraph.  If you are unclear of my intentions, I say in different words that you should boycott CNN, MSNBC, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and ABC-TV and even now much of what is on the Fox News Channel and hope they lose more ratings and advertising revenues, since they are expendable, and it is time for you to find the guts to be mean and heartless and cancel them--since they are hurting you.  In 2019, "The Drudge Report" was sold, and it should be treated as suspect for now.   [Note: Everyone in the Democratic Party in the country is rotten, and the Republican Party establishment has shown itself to be socialistic and communistic within the last few years, and only a few of the rotten people tied to the Republican Party are U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and Chris Christie.]
    [Note: Here is an example of Chris Christie's rottenness.  On Sunday, February 6, 2022, Chris Christie was a guest on This Week with George Stephanopoulos (of ABC-TV), which had Martha Raddatz as the host, and Christ Christie pushed out crap.  For example, Chris Christie said--"...And let's face it.  Let's call it what it is.  January 6 was a riot that was incited by Donald Trump...an effort to intimidate Mike Pence and the Congress into doing exactly what he said in his own words last week--overturn the election.  And he's trying to do a cleanup on asile one here...." and "...He actually told the truth by accident.  He wanted the election to be overturned....".  That is bullshit!]

    The section of this document about Dilemma passed along some good television, but now I must pass along examples of bad television or ugly television, which were easy to find in the last few weeks.  For May 22, 2023, TV Guide reported that, in the television-listings grid for Fox TV at 8:00 p.m., viewers could catch an episode of Crime Scene Kitchen, but what showed up was TMZ Investigates: Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom.  The program was headed by Harvey Levin, and it also had such staffers of the "TMZ" franchise as Charles Latibeaudiere, Katie Hayes, Fabian Garcia, Brad Appleton, and Loren Larosa, and there were others on the so-called special program, and they were all concerned about the musical performer known as Britney Spears.  The program sort of reminded me of stuff that might have been in the 1970s movie called Network.  Okay, I wonder about Britney Spears' health, but the program was sensational gutter stuff and rather slimy in tone.  In much of May 2023, I was in the Detroit area, and I was able to see Detroit television broadcasts, such as those related to WDIV-TV (which has the Channel 4 group of channels). While seeing Channel 4.3 programming (made up of MeTV stuff), I was exposed to promos focusing on the YouTube channel for WDIV-TV.  One promo, which I was exposed to a number of times, featured Karen Drew talking about a video story called "What reeks in Adrian" (the short title), in which she interviewed some guy tied to a factory in Adrian, Michigan.  The promo stunk!  The promo pushed out the idea that a person should see it for the "full confrontation."  The station was selling the idea that people should see the confrontation.  The station did not push out  the idea that people could learn what was causing the stinky air in Adrian, what had been tried to get rid of the stinky smell, and what future plans in the works were to solve the problem.  It was all about the "confrontation" (involving Karen Drew and some guy).  That was crap!  It showed off more the underlying nature of the place known as WDIV-TV.  Yes, it was crap!  Karen Drew is another piece of crap newscaster!*  By the way, keep in mind that WDIV-TV is an affiliate of NBC-TV, the communistic and socialistic television network.  ABC-TV is like NBC-TV!  On May 24, 2023, ABC-TV pushed out the first episode of a new series--through what was called a preview episode--and the series is called The Prank Panel.  Within the first minute or two, the viewers were exposed to a man getting sort of hit in the groin, and the guy was Eric Andre, and the viewers got to see Gabourey Sidibe (an ugly and fat black gal) swear, and the swear word of bleeped out.  Right from the start, The Prank Panel was gutter stuff, and the three main hosts (Eric Andre, Gabourey Sidibe, and Johnny Knoxville, whose main claim to fame is tied to being on the Jackass franchise of MTV), came off a crappy people.  The Prank Panel is something that someone would not have even tried to put on prime-time broadcast television in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. The Prank Panel was like something a person could expect to see on a low-budget cable show--a local show--on an inner city cable system.  On Sunday, May 28, 2023, PBS pushed out yet another National Memorial Day Concert show, and the management of PBS seems to do that so that people will think PBS is not anti-U.S. Constitution and not a promoter of communism and socialism, which it does most nights, such as through the main news program of the network.  I was sort of trapped into seeing the show or a bit of the show, and it had crap in it, and one of the pieces of crap was the attendance of U.S. General Mark H. Milley, a truly rotten man, who supports China and who has worked against the interests of the U.S.A., such as while Donald J. Trump was the U.S. president, such as by being in contact with the Chinese and working on the theme that Donald J. Trump was going to start a nuclear war and he would let the Chinese know ahead of time when the war would start.  The nuclear-war thing was crap!  Mark H. Milley is shit!  On Wednesday, May 31, 2023, ABC-TV worked to sell crap as good when it broadcast a three-hour program called The 1619 Project.  The "1619 Project" is communistic and socialistic--crap--that is being forced on the country by rotten people, such as by the people of The New York Times (particularly The New York Times Magazine), where the theme sort of got started for public consumption.  TV Guide listed the show in the television-program grid for the day as---"Democracy; Justice.  The fight to democratize America.".  In Television History and Trivia #185 (of September 10, 2019), I first talked about the "1619 Project," and the story was also presented in a document called "The 1619 Project"--Corruption and "Fake News" from The News York Times, a Communistic Entity working to Rewrite History Books in the United States of America (which can be reached through this 1619 Project link).  A smart and honorable person understands the program does not promote "democracy," which is a part of the country, which is actually a "constitutional republic" or "representative republic."  In essence, "The 1619 Project" is working to sell the idea that the United States of America is a racist place and was from the start, which is said to be in 1619.  The TV Guide listing was a report that noted that what was to be shown was the episode called "Democracy" and the episode of "Justice".  On May 29, 2023, I went on the Internet to see what the episodes were about, and I found a page called "ABC Updates".  One portion of the page was--"Episode 101 -- 'Democracy": Told through Pulitizer-prize winning author Nikole Hannah-Jones' personal story, historical events and the modern fights for voting rights, 'Democracy' explores Black America's centuries-long fight to democratize America and hold it to its founding ideals.". Another portion of the page was--"Episode 106 -- 'Justice": Through Nikole Hannah-Jones' family story and one Georgia community fighting for restitution, 'Justice' examines the historical events that denied Black Americans the opportunity to build generational wealth and what is owed to descendants of slavery.".  Incidentally, Nikole Hannah-Jones is a black woman, and it seems Nikole Hannah-Jones was and is so much into making the thing--"The 1619 Project" thing--about her, maybe hoping to be famous like Alex Haley, and to me, Nikole Hannah-Jones seems to be highly self-centered or highly selfish [Note: It comes off as the "It's all about me!" thing from Nikole Hannah-Jones.].  Incidentally, the "Pulitzer Prize" is a defective prize, it having been presented to crappy people in the recent past; for example, staffers of The New York Times and staffers at The Washington Post ended up winning the "prize" in 2018 for the Trump-Russia collusion thing, which was all fake and all fake news.  For the record, I report that the television series called The 1619 Project is really a made-for-Hulu series, offered up for the first time in January 2023.  And, for one, "The 1619 Project" works to get blacks free money--reparations (based on corrupted history).  Sometimes bad related to television is not shown on the television screen, and I have an example here.  In May 2023, there was talk about Target (the national retail store chain) and transgender stuff.  I must report that people involved in getting children to cut off body parts to try to become the look of the opposite sex are rotten people and evil people, and I report that transgender stuff is defective-mind stuff, such as in the pushers and in those trying to make the visual change, and if a person is into changing the outward look of the self, such as by going from a male look (the birth and true look) to a female look through surgery and such, then the person will probably have defective thinking about more things related to life, and it seems many such persons do take up supporting socialism and communism and progressivism and liberalism, which are evil forms of government and enslavism forms of government.  In May 2023, good people were reporting that the management of Target (the headquarters unit) donated about 2.1-million dollars to a group called GLSEN (or Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, which was originally known as the Gay and Lesbian Independent School Teachers Network), and it is a group that pushes for and supports the idea of having school officials keep secret from parents information that their children are working to do the transgender thing, such take up form-changing surgery and chemical-changing injections [Grossman, Hannah.  "Target partners with org pushing for kids' genders to be secretly changed in schools without parental consent."  foxnews.com, 26 May 2023, 7:00 p.m. EDT.; Zieber, Ariel.  "Target gave $2.1M to LGBTQ group that urges schools to hide kids' gender transitions from parents." nypost.com, 26 May 2023, 4:03 p.m..].  That data shows rottenness exists in at least some of the heads in charge of Target.  Yes, television often does not show the underlying rottenness of an entity presented on television, such as through commercials!  Then on Friday, June 2, 2023, Joseph Biden as the U.S. president appeared on television to tout, for example, the passing of a budget bill through the U.S. Congress saved the country from catastrophe--the point of default--but it was all crap from Joseph Biden, given the bill, which Joseph Biden would soon sign into law, was no real spending freeze or no real cut back in spending and borrowing, and the debt of the country was already--at least in relation to the general operating budget (which does not take into count unfunded liabilities, such as Medicare)--at about $32,000-billion; it must be remembered that so much talk had been done by people in the process aimed at the passing of the bill, and Joseph Biden had even said the he might considered acting on his own in relation to the 14th Amendment to spend money and stop a default, though smart and honor people knew Joseph Biden had no authority to do such act, and it was really Joseph Biden, who had been absent in the negotiation process for the bill for about three months, who had been instrumental in forcing the issue of spending more and more and possibly reaching default, given the U.S. House of Representatives (which was under the control of Republicans) had created preliminary bill that would have sort of decreased spending by the federal government a tiny bit and would have raised the debt ceiling (allowing for more debt in the near future).  Really, Joseph Biden's speech was crap television and at least the previous two months had been crap television from Joseph Biden and many members of the U.S. Congress, such as on news shows, since there was no reason for a "catastrophe" to have ever shown up--a budget could have been made days and weeks before ever reaching a catastrophe.  On Sunday, June 4, 2023, I got exposed through Fox TV to what I call blacks with racist stuff, and it took place or I saw it at about 12:55 p.m. (Detroit time) when I turned on a television set and got ready to see a USFL game.  The theme that I joined in progress seemed to be about auto racing and a bunch of blacks who were involved in some way, such as as fans, and they pushed the idea about "Yes, we exist!", and that had something to do with seeing black faces involved.  That is racist stuff really!  Kristina Pink (a black gal) was the host, as I learned when the segment was over.  By the way, since blacks seemed to make up the majority of NBA players and NFL players, maybe I should say that "whites" exist, too, and make a television special [Note: That would be a shit-ass idea.].  The program--or program segment--with Kristina Pink was crappy television and was catering to blacks, and it was bad television.  On Monday, June 5, 2023, Fox TV pushed out the first episode of Stars on Mars, a game show with so-called celebrities, and the celebrities came off as a group of gutter people.  One of the so-called stars of the first episode was Lance Armstrong, the discredited professional bicycle racer.  Very early, in the first episode, Marshawn Lynch (a black guy) or Richard Sherman (a black guy) showed off a jackass nature by saying something like--They let black people on mars?.  It was uncalled for.  The casting is phony--the style that is commonplace today--in which the producers sort of give every show a lesbian or a gay, and this show has Adam Rippon and Tinashe (a "bisexual").
    [* Note: See my document called informally Countdown to the End of the World, especially the entry for June 10, 2023, to see information about more crappy news people, and the document can be reached through this Countdown link.]

     I have to put in this commentary section, and it is not all about television, though sometimes people tied to this commentary were regulars on television in the Detroit area in the past.  On Tuesday, June 6, 2023, I came across an article from Metro Detroit News that showed off some crappy people, and the article was called "WJR unveils 'next generation' of radio hosts: old white men." [Neavling, Steve.  "WJR unveils 'next generation' of radio hosts: old white men".  Metro Detroit News, 5 June 2023, 2:35 p.m..].  The story was about WJR-AM and the new daytime lineup for the radio station, and the lineup was involving Guy Gordon, Tom Jordan, Kevin Dietz, Paul W. Smith, Chris Renwick, and Mitch Albom, all of whom are white guys.  Who cares if they are white guys?  Karen Dumas (a black gal) who was mentioned in the story was pissed off by what WJR-AM was going.  In addition, WJR-AM carries national shows featuring Mark R. Levin, Matt Walsh, and Ben Shapiro, all of whom are white.  The opening of the article was--"Male, pale, and stale appears to be the motto of Detroit-based radio station WJR-AM.  The popular station unveiled its new primetime lineup on Monday, and all six hosts are old white men....". A little later, the story had--"Karen Dumas, a Detroit News columnist and former longtime radio host, says diversity in the media is important to promote inclusivity and representation, especially in a predominately Black city where many residents don't feel included.".  The material in the article is crap and Karen Dumas is shit.  Consider some points.  In essence, the station is working to present an image opposite that of the Democratic Party as a rule, though Mitch Albom--a piece of crap--sides with the Democrats (socialists and communists and progressives and like rotten people).  If the station was loaded with socialists and the like, the station would loose listeners.  Next, the station is based in Detroit--in the Fisher Building--but, really, it is a station for the Great Lakes area at least, as it has been for many decades, and that covers more than just blacks.  Next, are you going to tell me no blacks in Detroit are tied to anti-socialism and anti-communism and anti-progressivism and are you going to tell me blacks are not happy with the station, though there are white guys?  Since the 1970s, the Detroit area has had all-black radio stations, such as WCHB-AM and WGPR-FM, and no one complained that there were not enough whites on those stations [Note: Officially, years ago, I was heard on WCHB-AM and WGPR-FM, doing radio reports tied to AAA Michigan.]. It is not has if the Detroit area has only one radio station   If the Detroit area had only one radio station, then maybe a person could complain--maybe--about an all-white broadcast staff, and that depends on many things.  Here is more of the article--"From a business standpoint, Dumas says, WJR's decision to broadcast solely white, male hosts doesn't make a lot of sense.  'It's either one or two things,' Dumas says of WJR's business philosophy.  'It's either, "who are we targeting and trying to attract and retain on this station? or we are clueless."'"  I say that it does make sense, since they want non-communists and non-socialists and non-progressives as a rule.  I have to note that, for the Detroit area, listeners can find work by blacks on radio who are anti-socialistic and anti-communistic and anti-progressivism, such as Darryl Wood and Ron Edwards (both of whom I have met and one of whom I have worked with).  It is not as if there are no blacks on radio in the Detroit area.  So it seems Karen Dumas wants more black communists and black socialists and black progressives on WJR-AM!  But it is not her station!  To me, you have inclusion if blacks and whites and others who want no part of socialism and communism and progressivism are listening to WJR-AM.  Oh, here is yet another portion of the article, which had material from someone--a rotten person--in the universe--"' Next generation?' Wicked-Salome tweeted.  'No one wants to listen to boring ass old boomer fucks complain about everything that scares them.  Save some money and broadcast a live stream from a nursing home rec room.'".  I report that communism and socialism and progressive are scary!  If you hear Karen Dumas on radio or see her on television, understand she supports as good the political systems known as communism, socialism, and progressivism, all of which are enslavism forms of government, which are based on violence and corruption, and see Karen Dumas a black racist, too.

   Announcement: Recently, I have added some new documents to the collection of my documents at the website for The Hologlobe Press.  One of the documents is entitled A Document that Dispels Myths and Nonsense of Science-Fiction Books, Movies, and Television Shows (A Logic Puzzle), which can be reached through this Myths link.  Another document is And So You Think You're Going to the Moon, Mars, or the Stars..., which can be reached by using this Moon link.  And yet another of the documents is entitled And the Stupid Women Shall Lead--and Lead Every Good Individual into Shit, Driven on by Communism, Feminism, and Defective Female Beliefs and Little-Girl Thinking, which can be reached through this Stupid Women link.  And here are other documents--A Review of What Television Controlled by Socialists and Communists Worked to Sell as Truth in Relation to the U.S. President Donald J. Trump Impeachment (at Impeachment) and T.H.A.T. Special Edition--The First Helicopter-based Traffic Reporters on Radio for the Detroit area of Michigan (at Helicopter Traffic).

    I just realized that I have yet to feature WADL-TV, Channel 38, in a Looking at the Movies segment, so I am going to do that now, and, for the station, I can use the period from May 20, 1989, which is the debut date for the station, to about 1993, given I use the first three or four years for a station in relation to Looking at the Movies segments.  On July 25, 1989, at 8:00 p.m., the station aired Girls at Sea, featuring Guy Rolfe, and I wanted to present it here, having not see it, and it sounded like fun, but the movie is not available on YouTube, so that is a dead issue.  The station had other "water"-themed movies on the air around the same time, such as S.O.S. Pacific (of July 23, 1989) and Throw Out the Anchor (of July 24, 1989), but I was not interested in them this time.  For this edition of Looking at the Movies, I have chosen to take you to Friday, October 20, 1989.  On that day in the evening, the station aired "The Man Who Knew Too Much", which was a 1934 movie featuring Leslie Banks [and not Bette McMullin, who was talked about earlier in this document and whom I do not know too much about].  On YouTube, you can find "The Man Who Knew Too Much", and it can be found in black-and-white form and in colorized form, the latter of which is not the original form.  By the way, it was in the 1980s when the heyday to colorize (using computer systems) old black-and-white films took off.  "The Man Who Knew Too Much" is mostly made up of actors that you probably do not know, such as Leslie Banks (a British guy) and Edna Best, but you might know Peter Lorre.  In essence, the story is about a potential assassination and about a kidnapping.  Incidentally, "The Girl Who Knew Too Much" has a kidnapping feature to it.  For a Looking at the Movies night, you could run "The Girl Who Knew Too Much" and "The Man Who Knew Too Much". Incidentally, the colorizied version of "The Man Who Knew Too Much" has subtitles in English, even though the people in the story speak English.  Of course, the British English might confuse some people used to American English--at least the non-standard American English, such as the gutter English of the rap-loving crowd--so the subtitles in English might help, unless a person is functionally illiterate as many adults and children in Detroit are.

 
    Remember: The Prisoner with Patrick McGoohan was a television show that was produced across the pond and shown on CBS-TV in the late 1960s, and I urge you to find The Prisoner on DVD, maybe from a library, and watch it, and you should show it--all the episodes--to teenagers, or buy it as a present for teenagers.

 
Stay well!

    P.S.: You are urged to see my document entitled One of "The Rules of Man"--A Rule About Health Care that No Politician May Supersede with Law, which can be reached through this Rule1 link.  I have deduced that all the Democrats and most Republicans support the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and have no intention of killing it, though it should be killed for violating, for one, "The Rules of Man."  For example, Republicans Jeb Bush and Chris Christie support the rotten law, and that is one reason that I define them as stupid men and not men who are good enough--in this day and age--to be the U.S. President.  I note that the "mandate"--which forces everyone to buy government-approved health-care insurance--violates one of "The Rules of Man," and it is a rule that is attacked in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.  Anyone who supports the "mandate" is not a good enough person or a smart enough person to be the U.S. president--the mandate is "enslavism," and the "mandate" allows government people--who are often usually bad people, as history shows--decide what health care a person can get, and that is bad.
