Special Important Announcement

    I now have videos on YouTube, and they are history pieces, and they can be found at the channel for "The Hologlobe Press" (the search term).  One of the videos is about my making of a model of 40 Mile Point Lighthouse, and other videos are about Ms. Anna May Wong, Ms. Sandy Benson (The Naked Lady of The Soupy Sales Show of KABC-TV), and WAYN-AM (of Wayne State University).  By the way, you can use this Videos link to read about my videos.  And I still have a document at the website for The Hologlobe Press entitled A COVID-19 Document that Shows the Rottenness of the CDC, Many in the Medical Community, Many in the Media, and All the Democrats, such as Gretchen Whitmer, Andrew Cuomo, and Joseph Biden, and the document can be reached by using this COVID-19 link.
 


- - - T.H.A.T., Edition No. 255 - - -

    News by main media companies has for the most part turned into idiocy, nonsense, flap-doodle filler, and political crap, and I have an example here, which comes from the Detroit Free Press.  The newspaper had a story that covered about the half of two columns on the second page (which included a photograph) for the edition June 6, 2025.  The story should have been shorter and been in a filler spot--not on page two--later in the newspaper, and the story was called "Chances of Andromeda, Milky Way Colliding lower."  Were you not worried that the Anddromedia galaxy and the Milky Way galaxy were going to collide in your lifetime and kill you?  The story does note that the two galaxies will not make contact--a guess--for some four-billion years.  Here is the first paragraph (sentence) of the story--"The Milky Way and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy are currenty hurtling through space toward each other at a speed of about 250,000 mph, setting up a possible future galactic collision that would wreck both of them....".  Does not that paragraph urge you to read the rest of the nonsense?  Hey, meanwhile, the newspaper has yet to provide regular updates on how the war is going on with Russia (a communistic place, which the newspaper is) and Ukraine, stories that would hint at, for example, how the war is dragging down Russia and the Russian people--to benefit Putin's whims and goals of life--and how the army of Russia is a mess, such as because solders are fighting and dieing based of no good reason, such as Ukraine started the war so that is could get rid of Russia.  Well, do not look for the crash of two galaxies to stop the war, which will have ended in some way some four-billion years before any crash might occur.  And this edition of Television History and Trivia will be long gone and forgotten in four-billion years, as you will be.

    On June 23, 2025, WDIV-TV, Channel 4.1 (broadcast) aired The Ford Fire Works, which is a show that covers the July 4th fireworks for Detroit, and, actually, the program was two programs--The Ford Fire Works Countdown (from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and The Ford Fire Works (from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.), and, this year, the show was not presented on a television station in northern Lower Michigan (where I was), so I had to see the presentation through YouTube.  The hosts were Ty Steele and Kimberly Gill, and WDIV-TV on-air guys and gals also taking part were Demond Fenandez and Karen Drew.  Karen Drew hosted the annual "Super Singer" contest, which had four contestants--Zyaire, Amy Sleboda, C3 (a back guy), and Noah Dakho.  By the way, the entire presentation had a segment in which Dana Cimone (who was playing Dorothy in the stage production of The Wiz (a touring production) at the famous Fisher Theatre in Detroit) sang.  I have a radio-television background, one proof of which is the video at "The Hologlobe Press" channel on YouTube that is about WAYN-AM (of Wayne State University), and I seem to have an ear detecting for bad notes and good notes (though I cannot read music or I cannot tell the name of a tone if it is played for me for me to guess what it is).  Bad notes or sounds from singers are easily detected by me, though other listeners might think there is nothing wrong with any notes.  Of the four contestants in the contest, Amy Sleboda had the best voice, but Zyaire (a short black gal) won the contest through viewer vote.  Hold it!  Let me try to explain about the note thing.  The bad-note idea is about the entire sound delivered by a singer, which includes the vocal quality and the frequency ad whatever.  I do not have enough musical knowledge--such as definitions of musical things--to explain what I am talking about in relation to notes.  Hey, you can sing the right frequency for a note and yet have a bad note overall.  In presentations by Noah Dakho and C3, for instance, I heard a couple notes that irritated me.  I guess I cannot explain it well to you.  Mostly, bad notes show up when singers do their yelling singing--working to stir up emotions in listeners that hint the singing is so, so emotional and powerful.  When Dana Cimon did some singing, she yelled out a couple--to me--bad notes, too.  The show had some celebrity judges, such as Blaine Fowler (of WDVD-FM of the Detroit area), and the judges had nothing bad to say about the four contestants.  So the judges, who were working to not hurt anyone, did not help the singers.  Some singers need better coaching or a different job.  In general I can say that the praise of the singers was a bit over-done, and that the singing for the "Super Singer" contes this year was "B"-quality at best overall.

    Commentary: I have a special section here  Generally speaking, television stations and newspapers present fewer stories than they did in, for example, the 1960s and 1970s.  For example, today, television stations (with news departments) have hours and hours of news blocks every day, but so much is filler stuff or repeated stuff --some stories with reporters on the scene are done each half half--and newspapers are loaded with fluff stories that take up a half page when the stories should be shorter and other stuff--that which is real news--should be presented.  Today, the Detroit Free Press is not loaded with stories really, and when people look back at editions of the newspaper today in thirty years, they will not learn much about today.  With that in mind, I have to show up some crap with the newspaper.  On July 3, 2025, the edition of the Detroit Free Press had a story about the death of Alex Delvecchio (a former hockey player for the Detroit Red Wings), and it was called "DELVECCHIO WAS A HOCKEY AMBASSADOR" [Myers, Gene.  "DELVECCHIO WAS A HOCKEY AMBASSADOR." Detroit Free Press, 3 July 2025, pp. 1A, 5A, 6A, and 7A.].  Basically, the story covered a half of 1A, the full page of 5A, the full page of 6A, and the full page of 7A.  Alex Delvecchio was only a hockey player!  And yet he was covered in about four full pages.  Not even big political figures get four pages in the Detroit Free Press.  Really, for example, the weekday editions of the Detroit Free Press have two sections--one sort of  for news and features and one for sports--and there are few pages.  By the way, on November 27 1989, the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News got into a joint-operating situation, and on January 1, 2026, that situation will be dead.  I have to wonder.  Was Alex Delvecchio a big supporter of the Democratic Party, so the Detroit Free Press was giving him his due, given the Detroit Free Press supports only the Democratic Party (a communistic entity at least)?
    And then I have this.  I skimmed through the edition of the Detroit Free Press for Sunday, June 22, 2025, on Sunday, July 6, 2025, and I found some junk in the "OPINION" section.  The newspapers had these articles--"Now more than ever, celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride matters" (by Robert M. Nelson), '"What a gift': Michiganders share stories of trans joy, belonging" (by Ellen Knoppow), "Gay couple finds acceptance in one of state's most conservative towns" (by Brad Dick), "Amid Pride Month, there's a powerful way to protect rights" (by Roland Leggett), "Supreme Court won't stop us from getting trans kids the care they need" (by Dr. Van Bailey), and "Anti-LGBTQ+ bills are 'twisting' parents' fears" (by Brian Wenke).  It was propaganda and corrupt thought, and it is freaky and evil.  To change the appearance through surgery and drugs of a person--such a male to female, especially a child--is evil of the highest degree!  The Detroit Free Press offered no counter thought to the "opinion" pieces, showing it promotes as good such things as cutting up boys and girls to make them look like what they are not!  Do not tell me that the Detroit Free Press is balanced and fair!

    Announcement for the novice again (reworked in March 2019): To get useful television-delivered news or Internet-delivered news, try Breitbart News Network (the history of which goes back to 2007), WorldNetDaily.com, Newsmax TV (which was started up in 2014), CNS News (which is on the Internet and which was launched on June 16, 1998), and One America News Network (a.k.a. OAN), since the entities do not blindly support Barack Obama-type people (communists, socialists, progressives, liberals, and Shariaists), as do CNN, MSNBC, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and ABC-TV (Note: To learn about bad journalism, you might tune in to CNN, MSNBC, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and ABC-TV from time to time to see how they differ from the better places mentioned).  I note that the Fox News Channel is evolving into a rotten channel, becoming like those that I have put down in this paragraph.  If you are unclear of my intentions, I say in different words that you should boycott CNN, MSNBC, NBC-TV, CBS-TV, and ABC-TV and even now much of what is on the Fox News Channel and hope they lose more ratings and advertising revenues, since they are expendable, and it is time for you to find the guts to be mean and heartless and cancel them--since they are hurting you.  In 2019, "The Drudge Report" was sold, and it should be treated as suspect for now.   [Note: Everyone in the Democratic Party in the country is rotten, and the Republican Party establishment has shown itself to be socialistic and communistic within the last few years, and only a few of the rotten people tied to the Republican Party are U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and Chris Christie.]
    [Note: Here is an example of Chris Christie's rottenness.  On Sunday, February 6, 2022, Chris Christie was a guest on This Week with George Stephanopoulos (of ABC-TV), which had Martha Raddatz as the host, and Chris Christie pushed out crap.  For example, Chris Christie said--"...And let's face it.  Let's call it what it is. January 6 was a riot that was incited by Donald Trump...an effort to intimidate Mike Pence and the Congress into doing exactly what he said in his own words last week--overturn the election.  And he's trying to do a cleanup on aisle one here...." and "...He actually told the truth by accident.  He wanted the election to be overturned....".  That is bullshit!]

    Some people push the idea that copies of The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong (a 1951 series featuring Ms. Anna May Wong) have been lost since people years ago dumped the copies (kinescope films) in a river, and now I am going to cover the theme in more detail, focusing on Ms. Anna May Wong's series and other series.  Ms. Edie Adams (who had been the wife of Ernie Kovacs, a comedian who had died on Januaray 13, 1962, in a car crash) talked to people tied to the Library of Congress at a hearing on March 6, 1999.  Edie Adams talked about, for one, copies of television shows that it seems were dumped into a river years ago, and text of her statements exist on the Internet.  Look at some of what Edie Adams said (and I quote a document about the hearing):
 

    The next network we [Ernie Kovacs and Edie Adams] were on was Dumont, Channel 5.  That was in 1954 and 1955.  I ordered daily "air checks" of the hour long late night show.
    We never had a regular hour on any network for any length of time, as did Milton Berle and Ed Sullivan, at 8 p.m. Tuesday and Sunday, but it you were a fan, you could find us daily on all three networks throughout the '50's.  He would comment on everything that was going on in New York on those daily shows.
    By the time we got to NBC, we graduated to a big time daily show, full network, with the early NBC staff, Tonight Show Band.  So, this one, I ordered on daily kinescope, something unheard of in those days.  Finally, a daily visual record.
    A network spokesman says that it is the only record of the early '50's  TV that remains anywhere, and it is on mostly audio.  About four years of audio only and 18 months of intermittent kinescopes.
    After I bought and put away, in a controlled temperature facility, the ABC shows in the early '60's, I started to search out anything I could find from the other networks.  I bought back whatever was available from NBC and put them in storage in the late '60's.  I also tried to track down the CBS shows and the Dumont shows.  I was told that they were unavailable.
    I don't know what happened to the CBS shows, but have recently learned what happened to the Dumont shows.  That's the early Jackie Gleason Shows, including the original Honeymooners, Captain Midnight, and the Kovacs Specials.  Well they were taken care of in a most unique and swift fashion.
    In the earlier '70's, the Dumont network was being bought by another company, and the lawyers were in heavy negotiation as to who would be responsible for the library of the Dumont shows currently being she copyright renewal, et cetera.  One of the lawyers doing the bargaining said that he could "take care of it" in a "fair manner," and he did take care of it.  At 2 a.m., the next morning, he had three huge semis back up to the loading dock at ABC, filled them all with stored kinescopes and 2" videotapes, drove them to a waiting barge in New jersey, took them out on the water, made a right at the Statue of Liberty and dumped them in the Upper New New Bay.  Very neat.  No problem.
    The audio discs, many hundreds of them, I did manage to save, and they have been housed at the UCLA Film and TV Archive, on Cahuenga, along with some 800 daily TV scripts that match them, on campus at UCLA's Special Collections Department.  A few were damaged.  A few of these--they were 16" radio transcriptions, very, very fragile--were damaged in the '94 earthquake.  However, we would like to have these fragile 16" transcriptions digitized before the next one, even if it is not the big one.


    That is that with the text that you should see.  What can be made of the statements from Edie Adams?  First, the first sentence from Edie Adams is wrong.  The Ernie Kovacs Show on "Channel 5" (as noted by Edie Adams) was not a DuMont Television Network show.  The show was only broadcast on WABD-TV, starting on April 12, 1954 (at 11:15 p.m.), and the show was shown every week night for an one hour, and the series only last for about a year.  Edie Adams mentioned some shows, and she noted that copies of those seemed to have been thrown away, but she only mentioned Captain Midnight and shows with Jack Gleason and some specials with Ernie Kovacs.  I am not sure she is well aware what shows had been thrown away.  Edie Adams never said anything about The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong, and she could not have, since I found evidence that shows The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong was never put to kinescope, so there was nothing that could be thrown away.  Edie Adams mentioned "the loading dock at ABC", and she talked about "the Kovacs Speciasl".  Ernie Kovacs did not have any specials on the DuMont Television Network, but people probably think Edie Adams was talking about specials on the DuMont Television Network.  I report that Ernie Kovacs did have specials on ABC-TV, each of which was called The Ernie Kovacs Special, the first of which was put on the air on April 20, 1960 and the last of which was on the air on Janaury 23, 1962 (about days ten after Ernie Kovacs had died)  [Note: I only know about eight specials on ABC-TV.].  Edie Adams put confusion in people's minds about what specials were involved, giving people the idea the specials were tied to the DuMont Television Network.  Edie Adams mentioned the series called Captain Midnight, but that was an error.  Captain Midnight was a CBS-TV show that was on film, and it was even--late in the history--called at the same time Jet Jackson, Flying Commando.  The show that should have been mentioned by Edie Adams is Captain Video and His Video Rangers (which was a DuMont Television Network series in the early 1950s or so).  Ernie Kovacs had two series on NBC-TV, and one started as a Monday-through-Friday show on December 12, 1955, and it ran a while, and one started on July 2, 1956, as a prime-time show, and it ran a short while.  Which NBC-TV series did Edie Adams talk about and mean?   I do add this extra information--Ernie Kovacs did have specials on NBC-TV (on January 19, 1957, and May 22, 1959).
    Now, look at another problem that I am having with the story from Edie Adams.  In late 1955, the DuMont Television Network was closed down, and a new DuMont Broadcasting Corporation was created, and that new corporation had two television stations (WABD-TV and WTTG-TV) at first, and, in 1958, the company became known as Metropolitan Broadcasting Company, and, on September 7, 1958, WABD-TV became known as WNEW-TV, and in 1961, the broacasting company came under the ownership of a company called Metromedia, and then News Corporation became the owner of, WNEW-TV and WTTG-TV and other staions in late 1985 (leaving Metromedia with no television stations in the country)  [Note: Hearst got a Boston station.].  So, "DuMont" as a thing and the name were gone in the late 1950s.  Edie Adams talked about the idea that "In the earlier '70's, the Dumont network was being bought by another company....".  Who was buying what?  Certainly, DuMont was not up for sale in the 1970s.  The owners of WNEW-TV probably had control of some recordings--stored away somewhere--between 1958 and 1985, but what were the recordings and how many recordings were there?  Maybe Edie's Adams story is off by ten years are so, and she should have placed the story in the middle of the 1980s.
    Next, here is yet a side topic.  To make it clear, I have to report that there was no original The Honeymooners series of the DuMont Television Network to be lost--those that might have been aired in the early 1950s.  However, "Honeymooners" segments did get produced as part of episodes of shows made for the DuMont Television Network featuring Jackie Gleason; Jackie Gleason did "The Honeymoones" bits on Cavalcade of Stars, on which he was the host for two seasons, starting on July 8, 1950.  It was in the 1955-1956 season when Jackie Gleason put together The Honeymooners (on film) series for CBS-TV.  Yes, some segments of Jackie Gleason shows that were about "The Honeymooners" that were made for the DuMont Television Network could have existed on kinescope for a while and then gotten dumped.
    Hey, did you notice that Edie Adams talked about "air checks" of The Ernie Kovacs Show of WABD-TV.  It is unclear if she was hinting at audio recordings or kinescopes.  In the radio business, an "air check" is a recording of a radio program, such as a disc jockey show.  Of course, maybe television people used the same term but applied it to kinescoping (a kinescope air check).  The cost of recording every edition of The Ernie Kovacs Show in kinescope form had to be expensive.   I will make an estimate. The Ernie Kovacs Show ran on WABD-TV for about a year, but I have only tracked the show well to December 1954, so I can say that 180 shows were put to kinescope (maybe) in 1954 or up to about 180 shows were put to kinescope.  By the way, keep in mind that kinescoping shows took off in 1948, such as when technicians of the DuMont Television Network would for a sponsor of a show do kinescoping of the sponsor's show, if the sponsor wanted to pay the extra fee for each show, and videotape became a commercial thing in 1956, but television stations around the country did not really take up using videotape machines till 1958.
    What is "18 months of intermittent kinescopes"?  Was there a first recording, covering a first episode of something, and then only a few more recordings of a few other episodes were done?  Was Edie Adams talking about the DuMont Television Network-related things or the NBC-TV-related things?  What was "network spokesman" tied to--DuMont or NBC-TV or even ABC-TV or even CBS-TV?  That is a problem, and it is something that is unclear.
    Oh, the "made a right at the Statue of Liberty" comes off as an embelishment or an ad-lib by someone (not necessarily by Edie Adams) in telling what happened to some stuff, and it comes off as goofy stuff.
    I come to the big, big problem for me about what Edie Adams passed along.  Edie Adams said that, in relation to the WABD-TV series, she asked for "air checks" and that, in relation to a NBC-TV show, she ordered "...daily kinescope, something unheard of in those days.  Finally, a daily visual record."  The two statements make me think the "air checks" were not video recordings, given the information offered in the second statement.  The WABD-TV series had about 180 episodes in 1954, and to record and keep such a number of shows through kinescope seems to me to have been an expensive undertaking.  In late 1948 and early 1949, the cost to produce one master kinescope of a  one-hour show cost about $480.00, and that was a big, big expense at the time, especially if the kinescope was not important to making copies that could be distributed to stations not connected to a true network hub (or head quaraters) by cable or telephone lines of AT&T, which charged "line charges" to networks for using AT&T equipment to distribute signals [Note: I do not know the cost of a one-hour kinescope in 1954 or 1955, but it was probably a bit higher than it was in 1948 and 1949.].  By the way, in about May 1951, Captain Video and His Video Rangers was available live on 12 stations (affiliates) and was available on kinescope to 11 stations (each of which got a print that had had to be made from the master (and, in 1949, a print cost $120.00 to make)).   So far, I have not found information that shows what the cost was to produce a one-hour episode of The Ernie Kovacs Show on WABD-TV, but it probably did not have a budget as big as that for a prime-time show***.  Remember--The Ernie Kovacs Show on WABD-TV was only on WABD-TV.  Who was going to pay the cost to cover the making of some around 200 kinescopes (of some 200 live shows that were broadcast)?  I can see Ernie Kovacs and Edie Adams pushing to have a few shows recorded, and they might pay the fee to make the kinescopes, and they would--if they paid it seems--own the copies and take them home or something, but I do not see people paying the big money to make and store some 200 kinescopes that were not going to be used.  Things do not add up.  I can see that probably one or a few kinescopes of The Ernie Kovacs Show on WABD-TV could have been made.
    As you can see, I have shown problems with Edie Adams, who told a vague and unclear story.  Yet, I can say that maybe, for instance, some reels or kinescopes tied to Ernie Kovacs were dumped somewhere.  There was not stuff tied to The Gallery of Madame Liui-Tsong to be thrown away, though.  The "when" is a problem.  Maybe the "where" is a problem, too.  Maybe the "lawyer" (who supposedly dumped stuff was trying to get things done) was aware the kinescopes with Ernie Kovacs on them had disappeared a long time ago or that many of the kinescopes with Ernie Kovacs had disappeared a long time ago.  At the least, I can say that the Edie Adams story is suspect, especially in relation to true and searchable television history, but maybe a lawyer did dump stuff in a river, but things do not come together in the story, and the story should not be repeated.  If there was DuMont Television Network related stuff that got dumped or destroyed, it could have been dumped or destroyed at any time from 1948 to 1996 as far as I can report.
    [***Note: I have this information for a possible nightly budget for The Ernie Kovacs Show.  In April 1954, the cost to a sponsor to buy a 15-minute block of an episode was set at about $2,500.  Since the show ran an hour, a fully sponsored episode might bring in about $10,000.  So, if WABD-TV wanted to make a profit, the budget for an episode had to be a bit below $10,000.  If the show does not sell out, then there is a problem.  But maybe an episode only cost about $5,000 to produce.  But if the show cost $5,000 to produce and it was only half sold out, then not much is gained.  Adding some $500.00 to the cost of each episode to make a kinescope could have resulted in weak or weaker profits for WABD-TV.]

    Announcement: Recently, I have added some new documents to the collection of my documents at the website for The Hologlobe Press.  One of the documents is entitled A Document that Dispels Myths and Nonsense of Science-Fiction Books, Movies, and Television Shows (A Logic Puzzle), which can be reached through this Myths link.  Another document is And So You Think You're Going to the Moon, Mars, or the Stars..., which can be reached by using this Moon link.  And yet another of the documents is entitled And the Stupid Women Shall Lead--and Lead Every Good Individual into Shit, Driven on by Communism, Feminism, and Defective Female Beliefs and Little-Girl Thinking, which can be reached through this Stupid Women link.  And here are other documents--A Review of What Television Controlled by Socialists and Communists Worked to Sell as Truth in Relation to the U.S. President Donald J. Trump Impeachment (at Impeachment) and T.H.A.T. Special Edition--The First Helicopter-based Traffic Reporters on Radio for the Detroit area of Michigan (at Helicopter Traffic).

    Hey, at about 10:32 a.m. on Saturday, June 21, 2025, I was staying at the secondary residence, which is in Upper Michigan, and I was watching on YouTube a movie called "Swing Parade of 1945", which features Gale Storm and The Three Stooges, and it was raining hard, and then--bam--a leaning tree fell the rest of the way down and landed on the roof of the residence.  Let me back up in history. On March 28, 2025, a big ice storm hit Upper Michigan, such as Presque Isle County and Cheboygan County, and that brought down at least ten trees at the secondary residence.  In late May 2025 and early 2025, I spent a lot of time cutting trees and moving material off the lawn and such proper, and on Friday, June 20, 2025, I finally removed the super-big root ball for a former tree, which had landed on the roof of the residence and had damaged an eaves area.  I have to repair that damage, yet.  The second tree to fall on the residence--that tree that came down on June 21, 2025--did not do any great damage, being, for instance, smaller than that which had fallen on the residence and done damage.  I report that on Friday, June 20, 2025, I already had plans to take down the second tree, getting help from a neighbor, who had a comealong and steel cables, which could be used to bring the tree down without hitting the house.  So on Sunday, June 22, 2025, we cut up and chopped down the second tree.  With that in mind, you might have had to do something type of big job and you want something fun to see.  Well, this section of the document is a Looking at the Movies feature, and it features the movie called "Swing Parde of 1946", which was shown on WXYZ-TV, Channel 7, on Wednesday, July 2, 1952, starting at 11:15 p.m..  If you want something nice to see to end the day of doing some hard work, put on "Swing Parade of 1946".  Early in the movie Louis Jordan and his tympany Five do a fun "number" (tune or song), and it is likeable, unlike the crap that was presented during the half-time show for the most recent Super Bowl.  By the way, Gale Storm is a cutie, and she went on to, for instance, have two television series on broadcast network telelevision some sixty or seventy years ago--My Little Marie and The Gale Storm Show.  Only some of the other performers in "Swing Parade of 1946" are Phil Regan, Connie Boswell, and Will Osborn & his Orchestra.  Try to see the movie at about 11:15 p.m. when it is dark out to get the feel of how the movie was seen on Channel 7 in July 1952.
 

    Remember: The Prisoner with Patrick McGoohan was a television show that was produced across the pond and shown on CBS-TV in the late 1960s, and I urge you to find The Prisoner on DVD, maybe from a library, and watch it, and you should show it--all the episodes--to teenagers, or buy it as a present for teenagers.
 
Stay well!

    P.S.: You are urged to see my document entitled One of "The Rules of Man"--A Rule About Health Care that No Politician May Supersede with Law, which can be reached through this Rule1 link.  I have deduced that all the Democrats and most Republicans support the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and have no intention of killing it, though it should be killed for violating, for one, "The Rules of Man."  For example, Republicans Jeb Bush and Chris Christie support the rotten law, and that is one reason that I define them as stupid men and not men who are good enough--in this day and age--to be the U.S. President.  I note that the "mandate"--which forces everyone to buy government-approved health-care insurance--violates one of "The Rules of Man," and it is a rule that is attacked in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.  Anyone who supports the "mandate" is not a good enough person or a smart enough person to be the U.S. president--the mandate is "enslavism," and the "mandate" allows government people--who are often usually bad people, as history shows--decide what health care a person can get, and that is bad.
