https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/19/media/elon-musk-political-spending-bill-shutdown/index.html Elon Musk has been riding with POTUS OJ before he was re-elected. Musk donated millions of dollars to the POTUS campaign. He's been appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This week, Musk had influence in the government spending bill. Some folks were asking if he wants to be House Speaker. One doesn't have to in Congress to hold the position. Musk is South African. He also holds Canadian and American citizenship. His business interests makes meddling in government a conflict of interest. Yet, nobody i…

As part of the AALBC upgrade, I have to move to a dedicated server. The shared environment I current run on is not allowing to add the features I'd like to add and to make aalbc.com a truly world class website. This discussion forum may experience a brief outage (hours not days). It is also possible some posts may be lost depending upon when you make them. So please do not share anything you do not want to lose until I give the all-clear. Finally, I will probably migrate to newer discussion forum software (...ugh, I know). The problem with this software is that they are pushing upgrades to a cloud-based solution which is much more expensive. I'm…

American Exile Trailer https://www.kpbs.org/news/2021/11/12/voces-on-pbs-american-exile Nixon https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/movement-and-madman/#part01 My thoughts The tragedy of the war veterans being deported is how many people living outside the USA see the USA as this escape from being where they are, that they support joining the military of the USA, risking potentially all. The biggest problem with documentarian work is the delay. When I think of a number of the documentaries concerning Vietnam most recently I saw, they remind me how the truth has to wait in the USA, and that waiting period has value. Again,…

At a UBS media conference earlier this week, Bob Bakish, CEO of Simon & Schuster parent company Paramount Global, said that with the sale to Penguin Random House now dead, the company still plans to divest the publisher, though he didn’t say exactly how. “We haven’t changed our point of view,” Bakish said. "[S&S] is not a core asset, because it is not a video asset. Our company is a video company.” He added: “We are going to do something in the marketplace with it as we move forward,” although what and when that will be is still to be determined. Bakish told the conference that Paramount has collected the $200 million breakup fee it was owed from PRH sin…

Aight mayne........................ I heard that Trump is going to address the nation live tonight with some sort of "special" announcement. Maybe he's declaring Martial Law. Maybe he's declaring that aliens have landed and will take over. Maybe he's announcing open war with some country. Maybe even a $10,000 stimulus check for every U.S. citizen! Whatever it is, the shit better be important! Don't get people all hyped up for some big ass NOTHING burger that could have waited to be aired on NBC Nightly News or something you could have tweeted.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-justice-department-cuts-database-tracking-federal-police-misconduct-2025-02-21/ POTUS OJ signed an executive order that shuts down a database that kept track of misconduct by federal law enforcement personnel. In theory, the database would make it harder for law enforcement personnel with bad records to jump from one jurisdiction to another. Interestingly, during his 1st term, POTUS OJ had the Department of Justice establish the database in the wake of George Floyd's murder. POTUS Biden implemented it. Now, POTUS OJ has turned it off. Rolling back a tracking system that now makes it easie…

The idea that these companies are so wealthy (and desperate) for data that buying on of the world's largest publishers is on the table boggles the mind. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/06/technology/tech-giants-harvest-data-artificial-intelligence.html "At Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, managers, lawyers and engineers last year discussed buying the publishing house Simon & Schuster to procure long works, according to recordings of internal meetings obtained by The Times.

25 years ago, I was a photojournalist for a new station. I remember listening to the scanner and hearing crimes committed outside of the city limits that were too far for the new station to consider pursuing. They were in rural areas that were predominantly white. But on that same scanner, we would hear crimes that were committed a couple of miles from the station and easier to get to that were in black neighborhoods. I noticed a pattern, the news portrayed black communities as being more crime ridden then other areas that per capita had just as many crimes that didn't make the news. Was this done on purpose or was it too far to drive? Probably a little of both. …

No Black person could have committed these crimes and pled guilty and gotten a potential 80-year prison sentence reduced to probation. Of course, the white media didn't plaster this case over every outlet in America. In fact, they have tried to bury it. Black media should be putting these cases on …

Patrick Mahomes stunned the football word and every friggin' White Supremacist in Super Bowl 57. Mahomes was 21 for 27 for 182 yards and he threw for three touchdowns as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagle 38-35. All on a high sprained ankle. Jalen Hurts was no slouch either. As I said on Facebook, Black History was made in Glendale, Ariz,. and Black Excellence was on display. I bet Ron DeSantis glared angrily at his TV. Ha ha ha And as I promised, here's Superman!
