ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show over Charlie Kirk comments after FCC chair threatens fines
ABC bowed to pressure from the Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday by announcing that Jimmy Kimmel’…
Exactly my point- we are maybe a little bit left of center but the Trump Gestapo characterizes us as "radical left". Of course, their definition of "radical left" is simply anyone who isn't one of them.
A bit more on this, from The New York Times-
Brendan Carr, the Federal Communications Commission chair, sharply criticized Mr. Kimmel’s comments on a podcast earlier on Wednesday.
Nexstar, an owner of many local stations throughout the United State…
"Trump will use the Kirk killing as a pretext to persecute/prosecute the "radical left"
regardless of the actual facts."
I guess you realize that's us.
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function .”
By that test Trump would have to be acknowledged as a "super first-rate intelligence". He seems to…
It may be coincidence, but I notice that during evening periods when there are very few postings access is quite normal and fast. (Like right now.)
During the day when there is more traffic, there is sometimes a short delay in access. It's possible…
I'm pretty sure that the same thing is true at Schwab- mmkt buy/sell orders must be placed before market close, are executed same day after market close, and not available for use until next day.
It's been a while now, but I do remember getting bei…
In our personal accounting I pay no attention to the market value fluctuations of CDs and Treasuries, because they are all HTM, and depended upon for income only.
This surely doesn't seem very cool for banks and other large economic institutions th…
Oh yes, Palantir is a total perversion of it's original namesake- the "seeing stones" from The Lord of the Rings.
Palantir attempts to "see" every possible aspect of a subject, gathering and using every detail available from skimming the internet, …
@Derf- Schwab will not sell or use any money held in a mmkt fund to cover a purchase of another security. If a Schwab account does not have an amount held in cash sufficient to make a desired purchase, the account holder must sell enough of the mmkt…
If, as the WSJ reports, serious mental damage can occur from this, how would anyone know if it actually happened in the executive quarters on Air Force One?
"Where is the FAA?" Exactly where it always is- hiding.
I do have a lot of respect for the National Transport Safety Board (NTSB), who have typically been very pro-active on safety matters, in contrast to the FAA who prefer to duck and hide until…
@FD1000: Israel is responsible for the creation of Hamas. When one people treats another as Israel has treated the Palestinians for so long what do you think will eventually happen? The Palestinians were supposed to just sit there and take it foreve…
A MAC address (Media Access Control address) is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface for communication within a network. It helps devices identify each other on local networks, such as Ethernet and Wi-Fi.
To clarify- A" MAC address" …
"Where will our lethal warfighters be?" Well, at least some of them will be occupying Los Angeles, Chicago, and now evidently also heading for Louisiana.
It's pretty hard not to believe that about half of the citizens of the United States would have felt very comfortable in Germany in the 1930s. Simply substitute non-white for Jews and Gypsies.
And I really wonder if under the right circumstances th…
