Special Important Announcement

    I 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.

    While traveling by SUV in Michigan, I tune into "hit" stations--and I have been doing that for years and years--and I notice that it is hard to find fun tunes and happy tunes that are modern on the radio, unlike in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, and even the love songs of today have a tendency to be depressing, and, by the way, tunes often have the same feel with the same electronic drum sounds.  For example, you will find no new tunes that have the pleasant feel like Lazy Day and I'd Like to Get to Know You by Spanky and Our Gang of some 55 years ago, both of which can be heard on YouTube, such as through performances on The Ed Sullivan Show of years ago.  I now finally get around to this.  On October 31, 2025, I posted a new video at the channel for "The Hologlobe Press" on YouTube.  It has sounds from WAYN-AM 860 (a student-run radio station of Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan) of some 55 years ago, and it shows off jingles used on the station, and it has two "demo" productions of the Top 40 format of the time (featuring Gary Bridges in one case and me in the other case).  The video is a companion to another video at "The Hologlobe Press" channel, and that other video shows images and gives narration about the history of the radio station.  In both demos of the new video, you can see the fun that could be presented during Top 40 radio shows of years ago.  Today, disc jockeys do not do much or say much, and what they say often comes off as nothing more the "read liners" and such, making the guys and gals come off as "time-and-temperature" dudes and "time-and-temperature" dudettes.  Also, the new video presents some of the music guides of the station from the fall of 1971 to the spring of 1977, and, by the way, those that are shown are only a few of the 70 or so music guides that I have stored away since the early 1970s.  The music guides show off the type of songs that were being played on the Top 40 format of the station (at least) in the period.  Also, the video presents a few other history things, such as a blank "program log," a blank piece of letterhead, some "format clocks," and some ratings information.  Incidentally, the new video is called WAYN-AM 860, Wayne State University, Jingles and Demos: Sounds of WAYN Radio in the early 1970s.  What is presented in the new video is certainly mostly forgotten history, and the material is the only publicly available material about the station that you can come across easily today, and the material may be the only material about the station of years ago that yet exists today.  Once you finish reading this edition of Television History and Trivia, go to YouTube, and take a listen and look at the new video about WAYN-AM in the early 1970s, when it was easy to find fun tunes and happy tunes on the radio--in new form and "gold" form (such as hits from the 1960s).

    On Monday, November 24, 2025, I made a long-distance drive in Michigan, going from one residence to another (one up north), and I was expecting to arrive at my destination a little before 8:00 p.m., when I was expecting a football game to be on the air.  TV Guide did not report what was going to be on at 8:00 p.m. for ABC-TV, so I did not know that something else was going to be on the air.  I discovered that ABC-TV set up the schedule for the prime-time time so that a special about the assassination of John F. Kennedy could be run (at least).  The special was called Truth and Lies: Who Killed JFK?, and it reminded me of a special that ABC-TV had had years ago.  In fact, the old special was on ABC-TV on November 20, 2023, and it was called The Kennedy Assassation--Beyond Conspiracy (which was shown under the Peter Jennings Reporting umbrella title).  That 2003 special pushed out the idea that only one gunman (Lee Harvey Oswald) was involved in the shooting of John F. Kennedy in 1963.  Since 2003, people have still pushed out the idea on television and other places that more than one person was involved in the shooting.  So what did the 2025 special conclude?  Did the 2025 program put down the work that had been done by Peter Jennings and his associates in 2003?  I do not have an answer, since I did not want to see the 2025 special, especially after having been on the road for a little more than five hours.  A person has to wonder which special should be trusted.  I note that the 2025 special had Oliver Stone (a famous, for example, fiction writer) as an interviewee, and Oliver Stone is crap, and I do not truth anything that he has to say about history, being a supporter of socialists and communists.  I am generally aware that ABC News is not good today, as I have shown in documents that exist at the website for The Hologlobe Press.  I did not see the 2025 special, but I did go looking on November 26, 2025, to see who hosted it, and I found no listing for a host, and that is a wonder to me--It seems (maybe), for one, no one wanted to be front-and-center in the production (not wanting their reputation to be tied to it)--Peter Jennings had liked having his name front-and-center with the 2003 special.  By the way, when I looked for ABC News staffers who might have taken part in the 2025, I was reminded (by a web page) that Rob Reiner (only an actor) pushes out the idea that four persons were involved in the killing of John F. Kennedy.  What a historical mess we have and ABC News has!

    Before we go to commercial (if there really is one), I note that I have some new videos on the channel for "The Hologlobe Press" on YouTube.  Once again I have to talk about WAYN-AM 860, Wayne State University, Jingles and Demos--Sounds of WAYN Radio in the early 1970s.  It offers up several sets of radio jingles for the station that were used at least in the early 1970s, when I was a member of the radio station.  It also presents a demo of the Top 40 format at the station in 1971 and a demo of the Top 40 format at the station for the fall of 1976, and I am the featured performer in the later production.  Both demos are teaching materials really.  I have to report that neither demo points out clearly not to say such things as "we play less commercials" or "another commercial free break" or "another hour of commercial free music."  Many radio people went stupid in the 1970s by making commercials the enemies instead of simply running through the breaks (which might have fun stuff, as had the "Detroit Raceway" spots of the 1960s, which listeners liked)--Simply, play the spots and get back to the music [Note: That is what I taught.].  The idea of making commercials the enemies has gone on on radio since the 1970s.  Now, I get to talk about a truly new subject.  The most-recent video to the channel on YouTube is a The March 2025 Presque Isle County (MI) Super-Big Ice Storm -- Tree and Debris Removal and House Repair.  In late March 2025, one of the places at which I live during the year was affected adversely by the super-big ice storm in northern Lower Michigan.  The video shows the damage to the property and the house at the property, and it shows how I removed a fallen tree from the house and how I repaired part of the roof structure of the house.  The video about the ice storm also talks about construction people in the northern part of Michigan and some of the jackasses that a person can run into in the region if the person wants to get something made or repaired.

 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 some in the Republican Party have shown themselves 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!]

    It is time for the Looking at the Movies segment, and I am taking you back to 1953 and 1954--and 1936.  In the edition of Broadcasting (a media trade magazine) for June 22, 1953, it was reported that a movie was being distributed to television stations (the syndication process) under the title That's My Boy, and it was reported that the movie featured Jimmy Durante.  The movie was a 1936 movie that was made in England, and the title for the movie was Land Without Music, and the movie also had such performers as Richard Tauber and June Clyde.  By the way, on the Internet, you can find (maybe on eBay yet) a promotional piece (with promotional photographs) for the movie, and the piece calls the movie That's My Boy, and it was noted that the movie was being distributed by Screen Gems Productions.  The movie was never shown in movie theaters or on television sets--despite the promotional piece--under the title called That's My Boy in the United States of America.  In the United States of America, the movie had Forbidden Music as the title.  Incidentally, in the ad of June 22, 1953, it was reported that a station was getting the chance to buy the movie for showing--three runs in a period of one year.  I have only been able to find that the movie aired once in the Detroit area between 1953 and 1956, but maybe it aired other times, but those showings were not listed well in newspapers television listings, or maybe Channel 2 only contracted for one showing (the terms for the movie having been changed since June 1953 by Screen Gems Productions).  On Thursday, April 1, 1954, starting at 11:15 p.m., WJBK-TV, Channel 2, began to run the movie--Forbidden Music.  One reason that the movie was not shown on television, such as in Detroit, as That's My Boy in 1954 is on April 10, 1954, CBS-TV began to run a television series called That's My Boy (featuring Eddie Mayehoff), which would last till September 13, 1959, and the television series was based on a 1951 movie that had been called That's My Boy.  The 1936 movie had the proposed 1953 title shut down before the Jimmy Durante movie would air.  And that is some history of the movie that fits under my Looking at the Movies umbrella title for this edition of Television History and Trivia.  See if you can sing along with the "forbidden" music.

    So, let us look at Detroit television.  I discovered on Thursday, November 27, 2025 (Thanksgiving Day) that WJKB-TV, Channel 2.1, presented at 11:00 p.m. a half-hour special called The Gales of November: The Legacy of the Edmund Fitzerald, and the host was by Derek Kevra, and it was a passable production.  On Wednesday, November 26, 2025, Channel 4.1, WXYZ-TV, had Backstory: Hudson's on the air beginning at 9:00 p.m..  Backstory: Hudson's was aired by WDIV-TV, Channel 4.1, on Wednesday, November 26, 2025.  Channel 7.1, WXYZ-TV, offered up Light Up the Season on Friday, November 21, 2025, at 7:00 p.m., and the hour-long special was passable, though it was nothing more than an interview show for the most part, and the hosts were Mike Duffy and Carolyn Clifford.  Channel 4.1, WDIV-TV, presented Hob Nobble Gobble from Ford Field on Friday, November 21, 2025, beginning at 9:00 p.m., and the hosts for the passable one-hour were Jason Clothrop and Rhonda Walker, though the show was not much more than interview with some of the people who get on every year and show up on the Channel 7 special for the same day.  WDIV-TV, Channel 4.1, had Detroit Tree Lighting, starting at 7:00 p.m. and running for two hours, on Friday, November 21, 2025, and it was passable.  On Friday, November 14, 2025, WDIV-TV, Channel 4.1, aired two specials in prime time--Backstory: Edmund Fitzgerald and Backstory Edenville Dam Disaster (which was hosted by Karen Drew).  Channel 2.1, WJKB-TV, began streaming another edition (an annual production) called Tribute to Our Troops on November 12, 2025 (it seems), and it was hosted this year by Rich Luterman and Jessica Dupnack, and it would air on Channel 2.1, such as at 4:30 a.m. on Thursday, November 27, 2025.  Okay, the programs were all passable, but it was much of the same things repeated in more than one show.

    And I have one more special.  For years, Channel 4.1, WDIV-TV (in the Detroit area) has aired America's Thanksgiving Parade on Thanksgiving Day, and the production gets a bit of syndication each year, such as--for 2005--on Channel 4.2. and Channel 8.1 for people in northern Lower Michigan.  I was in that region on November 27, 2025, and I saw or heard the three-hour production.  It was loaded with problems, and I know not if the problems were with WDIV-TV or the station up north.  Often--around commercial breaks--the show stalled, and viewers were left often with a look down Woodward (with no sound or little sound), and there were blank-screen times.  It seems something was out of time.  Besides that, I have to pass along this--The first hour of the program had a singer named Anise King, and I found her singing irritating regularly, and it has something to do with something with her voice quality, though she could hit notes, and that irritation is a tonal thing or something, but she was promoted, of course, as good by WDIV-TV people, which had to be done automatically.

    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).

    Here I have two topics put into one section, and I became aware of the topics through articles in the Detroit Free Press (a communistic and socialistic newspaper based in Detroit) that I keep tabs on to see what crap the people involved with the newspaper are teaching to, for one, Detroiters).
    On  October 30, 2025, the newspaper published "Anderson Cooper turns his podcast on grief into a weekly show on CNN" [Oliver, David.  "Anderson Cooper turns his podcast on grief into a weekly show on CNN."  Detroit Free Press, 30 October 2025, p. 3D.].  The article existed on about three-quarters of a page, and about a half of that was a photograph of Anderson Cooper, who has been doing television stuff for years and is a supporter of the ways of communism and socialism.  The article noted that Anderson Cooper has a series called All There Is on CNN on Thursdays.  To me, it is more depressing television, and to me, the article was just junk about Anderson Cooper really, a jackass.  I say--Who cares?
    On November 9, 2025, the newspaper published an article called "Meteorologist says world has jumped into the steroid era of climate change." [Gross, Paul.  "Meteorologist says world has jumped into the steroid era of climate change."  9 November 2025, p. 23A.], and it was an editorial piece from Paul Gross, who officially had done weathercasting for WDIV-TV in Detroit for about 40 years (and he had done internship work at the station in 1981).  The article was a fear piece from a person with the mind of a child.  Look at the opening of the piece--"It's time to address the elephant in the room.  By now you've seen and read about the devastating impact Hurricane Melissa had on Jamaica.  Melissa's Jamaica landfall was the strongest Atlantic hurricane strike in recorded history, and its minimum barometric pressure was the third lowest....".  Oh, the strike cannot be determined to be the worst in world history, since data only exists for about one-hundred years.  And he noted--"...Something is clearly going on, and that something is global warming....".  However, I note that, if there is change big change going on, there is no proof yet that man is causing the global warming to what Paul Gross is hinting at.  Later in the article, Paul Gross had an idiotic analogy--putting two unrelated things together (weather and baseball)--and it was and is stupid stuff--"...I have a great analogy to help you understand all of this.  Remember the steroid era in Major League Baseball?  Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds sets records all over the place for home runs hit.  But it's important to remember that these players were hitting home runs before they were suspected of taking steroids...it's just that they started hitting the ball farther afterward.  (Sosa has never admitted to taking steroids, but says he made 'mistakes' during the sport's steroid era.)  We have put our atmosphere on steroids by changing its composition through the addition of 'heat trapping' gases, and warming ocean temperatures are a very basic ramification of our planetary warming....".  So, throw out the baseball stuff.  What you have left is just a collection of words, and you have a child mind that thinks man--a piss-ass little thing in the universe (especially based on what has been shown by James Webb telescope images)--is killing the planet and can stop nature, such as by shutting down everything.
    We can be comforted in the idea that, if the planet dies, Anderson Cooper will cover the thing on his weekly grief show.
    [Note: A little while ago, television news people were reporting the nonsense that baseball players were hitting more home runs because of man-made global warming.]

    Hold it!  I was working on research about cartoons on television in the 1940s on Sunday, December 7, 2025, and, at about 11:01 a.m., I happened to walk by the big television set, and I saw U.S. Representative Jim Himes was being interviewed in Face the Nation.  In essence, Jim Himes was working hard to present the idea that the U.S. military was wrong in killing drug-related guys recently, guys who moving drug materials in a boat near Venezuela.  Jim Himes was giving hard-sell to the idea the viewers should give sympathy to bad guys, as good news sources were showing the guys to be and as good news sources were stating in stories that showed the U.S. military had been justified in the killing and had done nothing illegal, and Jim Himes wanted people to see the video of the killing so that they would sympathy with enemies of good people.  Really, Jim Himes, who was often talking fast and was getting no challenge by the interviewer (Margaret Brennan, a truly rotten woman, as I say, based on seeing her work on television over time), was working on yet another rotten theme related to the over-all idea that Donald J. Trump is bad (and this event was done after the release of the Epstein emails, which--after weeks of bullshit news hinting Donald J. Trump is tied to something bad--had shown nothing bad about Donald J. Trump and had resulted in yet another dead story).  Jim Himes is shit, and he is more of the shit that is shown regularly on television, such as on CBS-TV.

    Recently, you may have heard reports or seen newspapers articles about how Sinclair Broadcasting might become heavily involved in the running of WXYZ-TV, such as in the article called "WXYZ-TV may face a new era if Sinclair takes over" [Kiska, Tim.  "WXYZ may face a new era if Sinclair takes over."  Detroit Free Press, 30 November 2025, pp. 21A and 22A.] from Tim Kiska, a poor-quality television historian of the Detroit area.  The article works to make Sinclair Broadcasting an enemy entity of the people of the country, such as by its action of knocking Jimmy Kimmel's ABC-TV network series off the air for at least a little while recently, and the Tim Kiska's story reports that Sinclair Broadcasting has had anchors in markets read copy made by corporate management people [as if it has not been done by other entities in the past, such as indirectly by having rotten news directors push certain stories in particular ways].  Of course, for example, Tim Kiska through the article does not report that Jimmy Kimmel has pushed the big media lies about Donald J. Trump for years and supports communists and socialists, such as Bernie Sanders, and supports communistic and socialist ways of government, and Tim Kiska has not shown how rotten ABC News is and has been through articles over the years, as I have through editions of Television History and Trivia documents.  By the way, a few years ago, a former associated of mine (who had worked at WXYZ-TV for a number of decades)--and I use the term "associated" very loosely--reported to me how, when Scripps took over WXYZ-TV in the 1980s, things went to crap, and I cannot and will not report the name of the person (using a journalist's way of protecting sources).  And I have noted how prime-time programming on ABC-TV has gone ugly in many instances, and one of the recent examples is The Connors television series (which is running in reruns on the Cozi network, making me less likely to watch Cozi).  Sinclair cannot be any worse than Scripps is [even the Scripps News channel is crappy].  The change from Scripps to Sinclair may show something.  For example, if Sinclair becomes instrumental in running WXYZ-TV, we might see people leave the station, such as those who do not support Sinclair's less socialistic and communistic ways, in comparison to Scripps's.  When people leave, they might give themselves away as being shitty by putting down Sinclair and not Scripps in any way.  We will see what happens.
    [Note: I have this side information.  Tim Kiska does not report that, in essence, WXYZ-TV has to mimimic the crap that comes from ABC-TV News in the newscasts of WXYZ-TV.  That ties the WXYZ-TV news department to the crap of the ABC News department.  And, in essence, Tim Kiska's talk of the far past of WXYZ-TV, such as with Soupy Sales (who left in November 1960), has no relationship to today or the recent couple decades.  The article was useless and crap.]

    Okay, I have to bring this up.  When I see The Connors on Cozi--while flipping through the channels--I always see, for one, ugly women and girls, and I see the ugliness is in the personalities and the tones of their voices and in what is said and in what is on their faces.  I would not want to know any of them.  That makes me want for something shown by Shirley Jones in the pilot television show of the 1960s called Dream Wife (which can be seen on YouTube).  Shirley Jones came off as very nice, and I say that it was more than acting, and I say that it should be her most-remembered work.  The pilot did not sell or go to series, which is not surprising to me, since it came out in the start of the rise in earnest of the "modern -feminist" movement, which has led to a lot of crappy women being pushed out into the world, such as in government positions.  By the way, the Detroit Free Press had "Women provide Democrats road map for defeating Trump and GOP in '26" in the edition for November 30, 2025 [Cortina, Lilla, M.  "Women provide road map for defeating Trump and GOP in '26."  Detroit Free Press, 30 November 2025, p. 23A.], and, yes, it was an article promoting as good the Democratic Party, which, today, is a hard-line communistic and socialistic political party.  Dream Wife is a "nice" piece of television.  Niceness is hard to find on television today.

    Incidentally, we shall see if Glenda Lewis (of WXYZ-TV) really deserves to be thought of as a "Ms. Erotic News Gal" (as I have defined her) or should be called a piece of crap.

    Okay, let me take on a subject that I have thought is not so important to discuss, so I have not rushed to mention it.  The new television season for the broadcast networks, such as CBS-TV, has been going on for weeks.  It has been--to me--bland and even ugly as a rule.  Yes, the "Chicago" block on NBC-TV on Wednesday did have, for instance, the blown-up hospital and the super-big tornado, but when you see the stuff all in one night, it comes off as over-the-top stuff and stupid stuff.  On Sunday, October 12, 2025, CBS-TV pushed out the first new episode of the season of Elsbeth, and viewers had to get exposed to a take-off of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and it was crap in that the producers worked to gain ratings by drawing off the publicity that Stephen Colbert's soon-to-be-replaced theme has gotten.  DMV of CBS-TV, which had been touted as great, came off as a flat-tire vehicle with characters that I did care about in the first episode. Again, there is a lack of diversity on the broadcast network schedules, given only a couple main types of programs exist, such as so much of the same tone that is in Law and Order, Chicago P.D., FBI, and 9-1-1.  That is enough of the specifics or specific examples.  Overall, the fall season debut just carried on with same feel as that of the previous season, meaning there was no big excitement generated, like that which had happened in the falls for, for instance, the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s--having "showmanship" front and center.  And in a few weeks from now, what used to be called the "second season" of a full season (starting off in January as a rule) will appear, and I am not waiting eagerly for it or anticipating some big excitement will show up.

    Oh, during the midday of Friday, November 28, 2025, I happened to be watching MeTV Toons, and a black-and-white "Tom and Jerry" cartoon showed up.  That is not the 'Tom and Jerry" cartoon with the cat and the mouse; it is the "Tom and Jerry" thing of the 1930s, which has two guys--a tall thin guy and a little guy--and, years ago, there were a small bunch of toons made with them.  The first "Tom and Jerry" cartoon (with the two guys) to be shown in Detroit was presented on July 10, 1947, but I know not which cartoon of the group of cartoons it was, but it can be said that about 78 years have passed since "Tom and Jerry" were first seen in Detroit on television and were last seen (or so).  Commercial television in Detroit was about a month old when the first cartoon was shown, being shown on WWJ-TV, Channel 4.
 

 
    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.
