The Verve, environmental stimulus a point of getting out and story!

As the point it's just a fact of having environmental stimulus. As if you lived in a "Backwoods town" there can be a big lack of stimulus when you compare it to a bigger town etc. 

There is always a way take your kid to see a waterfall, walk in the woods talk about everything you see. It's a world of stimulus out there if poor. Me and my friend went fishing with his dad once to us kids at the time that was high deprivation for us staring at the water looking at the clouds etc. We dropped our fishing poles and made a teepee out of sticks. Really cool we did that. https://walmartramen.blogspot.com/2013/11/environmental-stimulus-kids-in-road-of.html

 But in the walk of life about The Verve in their story of getting out or to fall in, getting out of deprivation to growth. Yes you can! 

It's like things the mafia does - The Trump FCC’s Coercion Cartel

It's like things the mafia does. FYI for people that want to know than to not so others would know for them! If you don't care others will care for you not for your best interest theirs!

~~~~In the administration’s first weeks, Carr unilaterally launched investigations relating to or affecting the editorial decisions of media outlets. Such investigations are likely to have a chilling effect on free speech decision-making of the targets while also serving as a warning to others that they could be targeted as well.

For example, reopening a complaint previously dismissed by the agency in January, Chairman Carr inserted the FCC into candidate Trump’s claim that CBS’s editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris constituted “election interference.” Prior to the election, candidate Trump sued CBS over the matter. After assuming office, the president posted on Truth Social, “CBS should lose its license”—which is a decision that falls within the FCC’s jurisdiction.

Carr linked the allegations against CBS to the pending sale of Paramount Global and its CBS subsidiary, a transaction that requires FCC permission to transfer the broadcast licenses. “I’m pretty confident that that news distortion complaint over the ‘60 Minutes’ transcript is something that is likely to arise in the context of the FCC review of that transaction,” the chairman not-so-subtly warned on Fox News.

At a time when a congressional Republican is calling public broadcasting “communist” and holding hearings on its content, the FCC has targeted public broadcast networks PBS and NPR. “I am writing to inform you that I have asked the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau to open an investigation regarding the airing of NPR and PBS programming across your broadcast member stations,” Carr wrote to the network presidents. The local member stations, he charged, “could be violating federal law … [by] broadcasting underwriting announcements that cross the line to prohibited commercial advertisements.” Expressing the hope that “this investigation may prove relevant to an ongoing legislative debate … whether to stop requiring taxpayers to subsidize NPR and PBS programming,” he added, “for my own part, I do not see a reason why Congress should continue sending taxpayer dollars to NPR and PBS.”

This threat to the funding of public broadcasting, of course, jeopardizes the content those outlets provide. Ironically, it was a Republican-led effort in 1981 that restructured the funding of public broadcasting, reducing direct government support while allowing limited underwriting messages as a financial offset.

Another use of the chairman’s investigatory powers is Carr’s inquiry into the reporting practices of the San Francisco radio station KCBS. The station reported on specific details of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid of office buildings in the city, including the location of the raid and descriptions of ICE vehicles. Speaking on “Fox & Friends,” the chairman justified the investigation on the grounds of determining how KCBS’s reporting “could possibly be consistent with their public interest obligations.”

The FCC’s recent investigations and inquiries reveal a broader strategy to leverage the agency’s regulatory power to affect what the public hears by influencing what media outlets say. Framing editorial discretion as “censorship” and deploying government authority, the Trump FCC is not protecting free speech. It is undermining a practice essential to American democracy.

Further, in a pointed warning that his agency controls broadcasters’ licenses—and will be monitoring their behavior... https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-trump-fcc-s-coercion-cartel

Stormy Daniels relating to understanding of its complexities and implications!

 

Documentary on Stormy Daniels relating to the Trump legal and why is was. A part of History and best said by AI: "A study of issues involves systematically investigating a specific topic to gain a deeper understanding of its complexities and implications. This process can involve gathering information, analyzing data, and identifying potential solutions or areas for further research. It's a crucial step in addressing problems, developing informed policies, and advancing knowledge in various fields."

 ~~~~On October 7, 2016, one month before the United States presidential election that year, The Washington Post published a video and article about then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and television host Billy Bush having a lewd conversation about women in September 2005. Trump and Bush were on a bus on their way to film an episode of Access Hollywood, a show owned by NBCUniversal. In the video, Trump described his attempt to seduce a married woman and indicated he might start kissing a woman that he and Bush were about to meet. He added, "I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything." Many commentators and lawyers described such an action as sexual assault. Others argued that the remarks were an assertion that sexual consent is easier to obtain for the famous and wealthy.

News of the recording broke two days before the second 2016 presidential debate between Trump, the Republican nominee, and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Trump gave a statement in which he apologized for the video's content, but he attempted to deflect attention by saying that Hillary's husband Bill Clinton had "said far worse to me on the golf course". The recording provoked strong reactions by media figures and politicians across the political spectrum. Statements from Republican officials varied. Some, including Trump's vice-presidential running mate Mike Pence, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, indicated their disapproval of Trump's words but did not renounce their support or call for his resignation from the ticket. Other Republicans, most prominently former presidential nominee John McCain, stated that they would no longer support Trump's presidential campaign, and some called for his withdrawal from the ticket. House Speaker Paul Ryan announced that he would no longer defend or support Trump's campaign, although he did not officially retract his endorsement of Trump.

Bush was fired from his position as a host on the Today show, another show owned by NBCUniversal and aired on the NBC television network, and several women made allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump. The release of the tape was regarded as an "October surprise", influencing public opinion in the weeks before the election. According to a 2020 study, it reduced public support for Trump On Saturday October 8th, Trump released an apology video, calling the remarks "locker room banter" and apologized, stating that "I've said and done things I regret". Despite the controversy, Trump ultimately won the 2016 election.

Trump was shown the tape during an October 2022 deposition for a civil lawsuit brought by author E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of raping her in 1995 or 1996. In response to questions from Carroll's attorney about whether the statements in the tape were true, Trump replied, "historically, that's true with stars" and "if you look over the last million years, I guess that's been largely true. Not always, but largely true. Unfortunately, or fortunately." The tape was used as evidence during the trial. On May 9, 2023, a jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation against Carroll and ordered him to pay her $5 million. On July 19, 2023, Judge Kaplan denied Donald Trump's request for a new trial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_Access_Hollywood_tape

Homeless just don't disappear - American Favelas?


Homeless just don't disappear. With the massive income divide Trump wants, the rich will just hire people to harass the homeless and poor. And it just pushes like a Favela, in Brazil, Taking over a town! Something to note to happen more effecting all like quicksand as in history. Things have a resolve and so it goes something like the history of the favelas when things are more for the rich less for the poor it happens.

~~~~This is the state of the homeless crisis in America. Many cities and lawmakers are focused on criminalizing rather than helping the most vulnerable people in American cities. And that approach places more pressure on advocates and volunteers who want to help those who have nowhere to sleep, feel safe or take care of basic necessities. https://thegrio.com/2024/03/11/homeless-criminalize-shelters-laws

~~~~The history of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro begins in the final years of the nineteenth century as Brazil transitioned from an empire to a republic. As the nation continued to undergo dramatic political changes throughout the course of the twentieth century, the slums of its second-largest city grew in size and number, in turn experiencing significant changes of their own. Initially, these communities were loosely incorporated squatter settlements that sprang up organically in order to house internal migrants and itinerant laborers. As they became more numerous and increasingly populated by a burgeoning urban underclass, favela residents began to organize internally, forming associações de moradores, or residents’ associations. These organizations served as forums for deliberating matters of community governance, in addition to acting as liaisons between favelados (favela residents) and the prefeitura (city hall). Since the city and state governments failed to extend many public services to the favelas, community members, led by their local associations, banded together to provide sanitation, medical care, and transportation to their friends and neighbors. https://library.brown.edu/create/fivecenturiesofchange/chapters/chapter-9/favelas-in-rio-de-janeiro-past-and-present

Posting anything, Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Sources

 

As for me I just don't post something without a source about it. If I don't know then I will say something like I don't know but this is what I think. For the most part my writings are not News orientated, like I am not news just a person to make you think for yourself with no codependency thus Adjunct like. Making a contribution to society and things like that!

Like when I was on Facebook Twitter etc always have a source of information. Because it would just be viewed as someones point of view. So for me I would have to look up what someone said to find out why that is! And also talking to people, I say something but also point because of a study on the subject I was talking about. I will let people know where that came from I was talking about. So it's all about like something you learned in school! Always have a source than not! Note Wikipedia is a good source because of the sources it has also. Just spend the time to look up it's source! Like use Wikipedia as a list of sources like if you are in school working on something!

~~~~Sources of information or evidence are often categorized as primary, secondary, or tertiary material. These classifications are based on the originality of the material and the proximity of the source or origin. This informs the reader as to whether the author is reporting information that is first hand or is conveying the experiences and opinions of others which is considered second hand. Determining if a source is primary, secondary or tertiary can be tricky.
