“ The CPB is a private nonprofit that serves as a steward of funding for public media”
It is time to end the entire “nonprofit” scam. Let every organization pay its “fair share”. If they want to pay their family members or friends exorbitant salaries to run their organizations, fine. But not on the taxpayers dime.

China will never invade Taiwan or any other country with an eye to taking it over. They have a huge cultural and social problem with it. Not mention that every war they have ever fought in modern times they lost, including Korea in the 50s.
To even approach the Chinese willingness to fight and die for the CCP, like in the 50s, is just not in the cards. China, despite the bluster and billions spend on propaganda, is just a toothless tiger that performs well in parades and not much else.

Buyin’ bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscle
I said, “Do you speak-a my language?”
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich

Founded November 7, 1967 -— So they had a 60 year run until Trump killed them off. If they covered politics fairly I would not have minded the public funding. Their only stab at conservative politics was the John McLaughlin Group. Their 6PM NewsHour was OK when it was McNeil-Leher at the helm.

The McLaughlin Group was a syndicated half-hour weekly public affairs talk show television program in the United States, hosted by John McLaughlin from 1982 until his death in 2016. Prompted by the host, the group of four pundits discussed current political issues in a round table format. A revival reuniting the regular panelists aired intermittently between 2018 and 2020.

Perhaps NVIDIA doesn’t, but it must be easy to hide functionality in a million lines of machine language or half a billion transistors. Any device with chips hold the possibility of secret functionality.
I wonder if anyone has considered that these mysterious fires and explosions may be the work of those much closer than Israel, there are a great many Iranians unhappy living under the mullahs.
Yes. Brain damage. He was on “The Apprentice” years ago and the damage was apparent then. Reading the story, his attorneys first answered for him when the judge asked if he was pleading guilty. The judge asked Busey directly and he said “Am I pleading guilty? No.” Then his lawyers told him he was and Busey replied, “I am? Ok I am.” It doesn’t appear that he fully understands what’s going on.
I am acquainted with a Hollywood sort that requires actors to do publicity tours with meet-and-greets and a photo op.
The most common practice now is to have a discrete video camera in the front and then one in each back corner to disprove claims of groping.
The actors are also taught to do either visible “hover hands” (Keanu Reeves does this a lot) where he actually doesn’t touch the fan or the actor crosses his arms or put them in his front pockets.
