Just a reminder, folks, not to look to popularity contests on social media to gage public support or the possibility of election outcomes. Mr. Smith Goes To Washington addressed bots, trolls and clickbait 80 years before they became common place.

Mr. Smith Goes To Washington warned us about bots, trolls and fake news 80 years before social media

Did Twitter and social media's reaction the New York Post's Hunter Biden story remind anyone of the Taylor machine in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington? (Warning: Loud) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfS8bbFwlUM

Awe, so this is where I should share this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfS8bbFwlUM

For my friends who are still are Twitter, it appeares that the powers-that-be there have taken a clue from the mass exodus to Parler, Gab, MeWe and Minds and now provide an easier way to learn news and info by combating the clutter of trolls who inhabit that platform. That's my public service of the day.

Has anyone watched the trailer for American Skin? Does America need movie like it when we're so divided already? If someone is okay with a movie about Black Lives Matter militants taking over a police station but not one about innocent Korean immigrants defending their private property after a riot sparked by police brutality , then the answer is "No." Besides, Nate Parker's The Birth of A Nation was propaganda and a rip off of Braveheart. It showed in exacting details the tortures inflicted on slaves but ignored the atrocities committed by Nate Turner and his followers. It also ignored the fact that Turner's revolt polarized Virginians, resulting in harsher crack downs on the civil liberties of Afro Americans. The Virginian government was debating ending slavery but decided not to due to Turner's actions. Parker left that out of his movie, therefore I won't be seeing his next one. So give the trailers for it thumbs down and then ignore it.
