News and commentary: progress in work
As it premieres Season 4, here’s what you missed on Live PD this weekend.
Live PD is the ratings-winning, three-hour law enforcement ride-along show that ordinarily airs fresh episodes on Friday and Saturday evenings (with occasional bonus episodes on other nights) at 9 p.m. Eastern time on the A&E television network.
Canada is headed to a national election on October 21, and apparently the Liberals and the “Conservatives” seem to be in a close contest. The situation took a turn this week, however, that may affect the outcome.
Depending upon where you’re coming from, you can react to the same video clip of a political confrontation in a totally opposite way. For the very same viral clip, Internet users often conclude that A schooled/owned B or B schooled/owned A. Among other things, this is a form of confirmation bias.
Most people go through day-to-day life without being consumed by politics. For them, politics is an afterthought. That’s kind of the way it should be and is perhaps the best argument for the smallest-possible government.
In a revealing interview with FBN’s Maria Bartiromo about U.S-China trade relations, a corporate CEO explained that globalist Wall Street “titans” and Clinton-Bush-Obama advisers enabled China’s economic power rather than protecting U.S. manufacturing sector and the U.S. workforce.
If you’ve managed to get through the 30 episodes of The Writer on Netflix, you might be interested in Tango, a compelling whodunit also produced by Eagle Films of Lebanon. The TV series currently streaming on Netflix stars the same two actors as The Writer, Bassel Khayyat and the stunning Daniella Rahme, and with the same director, Rami Hanna.
You thought U.S. politics were weird, right? Well, the cross-party, anti-Brexit, pro-EU Remainers in the U.K. parliament have dealt the British public a double dose of duplicity. By a margin of 328 to 301, they have voted to block a no-deal Brexit on October 31 (thereby removing the country’s primary bargaining chip to get a good divorce agreement) and also have voted against Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s call for a snap election to resolve the impasse.
Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam has announced the city/state’s government has withdrawn an extradition bill that prompted weeks of massive street protests. “The bill, which would have allowed extraditions to mainland China, where courts are controlled by the Communist Party, first sparked protests in March, which escalated dramatically in June,” the New York Post explained. Lam has rejected four other demands from pro-democracy protesters, however.
Netflix is facing trouble ahead as more major content platforms launch their own streaming services. At the moment, however, one of the cool things it offers to subscribers is movie and TV content from overseas, particularly in the “thriller” genre, which is often far more creative and inventive than the conventional Hollywood product.
U.K. Prime Minster Boris Johnson has moved to temporarily suspend — or prorogue — parliament, the Westminster-based House of Commons in London, apparently to thwart meddling by pro-Remain, anti-Brexit lawmakers.
