NBC’s role in Trumps rise to the top of the extreme ladder

I was watching The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell last night and he made this point which I had not thought of until after he made it.  NBC Entertainment Division could have easily stopped Donald Trump in his tracks if the media and those with a little spine in Burbank, California had stepped up and spoke out.  They have not and therefore have allowed this country to again become marred in this deep chasm of racism again.  They are not the only ones to blame, the public is just as guilty but NBC took a position that can not only prove worthless in the end but could be quite costly.

If African-Americans and those who are grossly offended by the implied comments of Mr. Trump were to say enough and turn the channel from any show on the NBC Network would the NBC Entertainment Division, then is more concern with a conflict between them and Donald Trump?  Would General Electric (GE) be happy that they continue to remain silent while Trump hides behind them instead of being even the slightest bit of a real man and step out on his own?     How long do you think it would be before Mr. Trump loses his job on NBC and have to rely on other means of support to pay for his traveling circus?

As Chris Matthews said on his show Hardball, it’s time to start holding these people accountable for what they say because these lies are costing them nothing but costing this nation much.  It’s time to blanket the courts with defamation of character lawsuits when things are said that are not true because just trying to embarrass them is truly not working.  We all make mistakes and we all step on our cranks at one time or another but those that are getting in front of the cameras have taken human mistake from isolated incidents to an art form.

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

Something to Think About Regarding These State’s Abortion Bans

  According to an article titled “The Conversation- A concise history of the US abortion debate, by Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University, Published: June 10, 2019, https://theconversation.com/a-concise-history-of-the-us-abortion-debate-118157 . History has again been totally ignored and the lesson lost.   This being the case, it bears out the great need for educated people to finally diagnose history as it happens and make the necessary changes to ensure that this particular piece of history is not constantly repeated. Consider this, “While many may think that the political arguments over abortion now are fresh and new, scholars of women’s, medical and legal history note that this debate has a long history in the U.S.   It began more than a century before Roe v. Wade. As of 2019 “around 1962 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercially produced birth control pill, Enovid-10. Although various forms of b
