The Film "Serendipity" was Great

I finally saw this film. It actually was released in 2001. I like a lot of the films in this genre. I'm a huge Movie Buff, & I have read a lot of books in my life. I did not know what to expect, but I really liked it. Many people told me about this film a long time ago. So, I had to see it. Love is complex , & I have dated a lot of women in my life but I don't know if romance really works like that for everyone. People can read what they want into "signs" in life re: to possible romantic partners. God may work in odd ways. Who knows; it may even be true. The crux of the film is that great things can happen to those who are not looking for it as happy accident such as love. One major thing I liked about the film is that it had intellectual integrity; meaning it showed how individuals can marry people they are not compatible with. I believe that is basically the reason or part of it why the U.S. Divorce Rate is epic at 63%. Fools truly rush in with tons of money for the Wedding Planners. The leads of Kate Beckinsale & John Cusack had great performances. I saw many of their well-known films. If you like them & the Concept of Serendipity; see this movie.

Trump will end up in "The Fog of War."

The Neocons are now basically running Trump. It's all about oil & war. He will end up like Bush II; a very unpopular Ex-President. $ runs 2-Party Charade that we call Democracy in the U.S. Just like the Boardgame "Risk"; we will be spread thin all over the Globe & printing up too much $ by the FED & going broke. The Cost of Living in the U.S. will get higher for working people in stores & the like. Great example of why we need the Public Financing of Political Races in the U.S. Get $ out of political life in the U.S. We need a 3rd Party now that is Populist & Isolationist. Globalization itself causes more wars.

A.I. Will Lead to More Ageism Re: Jobs

I believe that A.I. was largely created to eliminate jobs in general & to get rid of older workers. There may be other Global reasons for it such as world control by the Elite; but that's a whole other problem. As older workers take buyouts & many people are too young to retire; some people are going to get more dependent on the Social Safety Net in the U.S. Thus, America will become a Social Democracy such as in Europe. You will pay higher taxes, & the government will take care of you. I was the victim myself of Ageism in the workforce at about early 40's. The other option for many will be self-employment.

TRUMP WILL NOW BE RUNNING FOUR WARS ON MANY CONTINENTS LIKE THE BOARDGAME "RISK."

Trump did many big things such as in Security with the Border. But now he will be dragged down into many wars. The Neocons are getting increasingly more control over his Administration. It's all about money, oil, & wars now. Not what he ran on. Get the money out of politics.

Taylor Caldwell Was One Of The Greatest American Authors

Caldwell was one of my fav authors. She essentially wrote Roman a Clefs. She knew how the real world worked. I read four of her very famous novels. The plots usually revolved re idea that the Globe was run by a bunch of rich bankers & other rich people. Her best book was "The Captains & The Kings", & this book was also about the Globalists or the precursor to them depending on how you look at it. Her ideas showed that the rich & the state can have too much power at the same time along with other factions of power. Some of the novels in a lot of ways were about public morality. Recently, I did a video detailing why Caldwell wrote better books than Ayn Rand. They are on RUM NEWS on Rumble & BINSNEWS on You Tube.

The CBC Show "Being Erica" Was A Great Show

I was a big fan of the CBC Show "Being Erica" which ran from 2009-2011. The show was a Character Study about growing as a person by improving your life & learning from your mistakes especially re relationships. Erica was played by Canadian Actress Erin Karpluk. Karpluk did a great job with complex social issues. The show reminded me a lot of the NBC Show "Providence" which ran from the late 90's to about the early 2000's. Providence, R.I. is one of my fav cities. There are fairly substantial rumors that an American remake is in the works. I'm not sure why; when they got it right the first time. The famous quote by the famous American Actress Joan Crawford sums up the crux of the show, & I'm paraphrasing: "When it comes to love; you never can tell if it will warm your heart or burn down your house." One of my videos next week will be on this show on my News Channels: RUM NEWS on Rumble & BINSNEWS on You Tube. That show can help people.

The U.S. Needs New Federal Laws on Government Shutdowns & Social Program Financing

In the World we have never-ending wars, & now in the US we have never-ending Federal Government Shutdowns. Every few years we have one of these in the US. The Shutdown is affecting the average person's life. We need Federal Laws to stop these shutdowns. They at least need funding to continue re programs that are major social safety net spending such as with the Arts, the Environment, & programs that the poor need. No Federal Worker should have to go through this. Especially when they are in Unions. They may also need a law re to the length of these shutdowns. When this is over; I predict that the polls will suggest that most Americans want a 3rd Party.

Trump Can't Have Another Term

The idea of President Trump obtaining another term as US President can't be allowed to happen. The Constitution expressly forbids it. He needs to stop talking re to it. The GOP needs to start discussing this more. It's simply not Constitutional.

The Fallacy of Ayn Rand in the Real World

Ayn Rand was a controversial Writer in the 1950's, 60's, & 70's. She brought up some great points re freedom & government waste. But had a large aversion to needed state involvement in people's lives. The Myths of Hustle Culture & the Self-Made Person contributed heavily to her popularity in the 1950's. But we still need a Social Safety Net such as the programs of Social Security, SSI, SSDI, Medicare, & Medicaid. I did a video re this on You Tube & Rumble with the same title. Rand's legacy may be as a promoter of Free Speech just like Charlie Kirk & Taylor Caldwell. Most of her ideas are a whole other subject.

Greta Thunberg, Israel, & The Never-Ending Wars

The Wars in Gaza & the Ukraine are humanatarian nightmares. Great Thunberg was correct in trying to get relief into Gaza, & Israel at the time rejected it. These wars will go on probably for a very long time due to the money that is involved in any war. War is the largest profit-maker. It's one of the biggest polluters, & a way to depopulate the Earth. Trump is now starting to cozy up to the A.I. crowd & can't seem to stop these wars. Remember, money is made on both sides of any conflict. Like Orwell said long ago: "The War is meant to be continuous." A.I. will be heavily used in the wars of the future. George Orwell's line is one of the best for posterity's sake.
