Based on the great Ben Hecht stage play, this 1931 fast moving comedy was remade in 1940 as, “His Girl Friday” which is even more fun.

While the Rest of Us Die (2020)
Imperfect but worth watching
Aspects of the dark side of American history which may be new and interesting to you. It takes the position that the rich and powerful rig the system to aggrandise themselves at your expense. It fails, however, to explore the class aspects of power and domination, an important failure.
The American far right are disinterested in documentaies like this as they don’t contain the familiar and comfortable conspiracy theories; the Illuminati, surveillance microchips in COVID-19 vaccine, Benghazi, dead congressional staffers, millions of illegal votes, the blood libel about leftist, elite, paedophile, cannibals. Oh, and adenochrome, there’s got to be adenochrome.
I found this documentary series to be imperfect but worth watching.

Ancient Aliens (2009)
[removed by a moderator]
Thank you for your reply. Sightings do not abruptly stop at the Mexican and Canadian borders, as you have correctly pointed out. I have amended my comment to reflect that sightings are much reduced.
Ancient Aliens (2009)
The majority of UFOs appear to people in the United States. It is revealing that Asia and Africa have few sightings despite their very large populations. Also revealing, sightings per capita significantly drop off at the Canadian and Mexican borders. Surveys show that nearly half of Americans believe that aliens have visited the Earth, either in the ancient past or recently. That percentage has been increasing over time. Belief in alien visitation is greater than belief that Bigfoot is a real creature, but less than belief that places can be haunted by spirits. One study of young adults found UFO belief associated with schizotypal personality; a tendency toward social anxiety, paranoid ideas, and the occasional transient psychosis. If you believe in UFOs, you might benefit yourself by listing what other unconventional beliefs you have, then examine each critically and analytically to see, if after scrutinity, you may desire to jettison some…
The Comey Rule (2020)
Test yourself or others with the following:
Do you agree; fully, mostly, or not at all with any of the following statements?:
“Our traditional way of life is disappearing, we may have to use force to save it.”
“A time will come when true patriots have to take the law into their own hands.”
“A strong, powerful, and dominant leader sometimes is forced to bypass laws in order to get things done.”
“It is hard to trust the results of elections when so many people vote irresponsibly.”

See you got me all wrong I am now glad Biden won and I hope conservatives lose the senate so all you self righteous liberals get to live in what you think will be a socialist paradise, defunded police, job killing globalist policies and big tech google, Facebook, twitter controlling what information you have access to.

Drama and humour. Exquisite acting, watch their incredible eyes. A shrill, narcissistic, rich, shrew from the industrialised north of Italy and a poor sailor from the Mezzogiorno. The clash of women and men. The oppression of the poor by the rich, the class war. How rich and poor are treated differently, as if they are from different countries. A reversal of fortune turns the world upside down on their island which reveals another form of cruel domination, toxic male machismo. And it’s funny, truly funny, and touching. Listen for this line, “You!, you’re everywhere, just like Coca Cola.”

In reference to the above exchange: Jhigh03 and myself have had no previous contact. Jhigh03 smeared me by calling me fascist. I asked Jhigh03 to honestly tell me what had motivated him to slander, and what he hoped to gain from it. I waited several days, however Jhigh03 decided not to reply. Unless I can be convinced otherwise, it appears an act of malicious slander was followed upon by an act of cowardice.
Rosa Luxemburg (1986)

from Sheila Benson’s review in the Los Angeles Times, June 5, 1987:
When she was 11, in 1882, Polish-born Rosa Luxemburg wrote to Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm: “I’m a complete fool in politics, but there’s one thing I must tell you: Tell that swine Bismarck not to put peace at risk. Do it for the sake of Europe!”
That earnest little pacifist, small for her age and with a limp, grew into the firebrand “Red Rosa,” probably the most spellbinding orator and writer on the pre-World War I political scene…Luxemburg was a towering figure on the late 19th- and early 20th-Century political scene: a journalist, author, speaker, a leader of the German Social Democrats…

Blacklisted and banned in the USA, it is biased in favour of working class men, and women abused by men. The entire crew had been blacklisted before making this film. The lead actress was deported by the US. More important than race or gender, class defines society, which is why this film is still relevent today. As the world now operates, the hyper rich are a small but lethal and dangerous tribe.

President Trump tested positive for Covid 19.
Trump recently conjectured about Covid 19:
“…hardly anyone gets it”. (except morbidly obese old dudes who are President)
On late Friday morning, the first lady Melania Trump said on Twitter that “I have mild symptoms but overall feeling good about my cut of the estate.” “I am looking forward to a speedy solution,” she said.
Barron, the Trumps’ son, tested negative for caring.
Vice President Mike Pence — the first in line to assume the Oval Office should Mr. Trump’s symptoms worsen and he become too ill to carry out his duties — tested negative for the virus on Friday. Mr. Pence vowed a government continuity plan of Christian Dominion, “if necessary, God willing”.

SPOILERS:
The genre of this film approaches, but fails at, social realism. Why can’t working people afford a house, or an apartment, even a rented room, or medicine, or good food? Why do these general conditions of want exist? A facile try at an answer is proffered early in the film, then abandoned - that we are at fault for our condition because we have voluntarily accepted the “yoke of the dollar”. You were born, the dollar got here before you, did someone offer you a choice? “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves that we are underlings”. So what is poverty then, a character flaw? There is a system we all live under. Do fish ever wonder of us if we realise we swim in an economy? It works. It works for the right people, it is unbroken. It is not a mistake. Is cause and effect no longer operative? This film works as a minimalist slice-of-life, never broaching the why. It presents a cleaned up version of the condition yet tells us nothing of the pathology.The film offers sentiment in its stead; of good works, charity, and the golden rule. (All suggested as a proper way of life by the victims for other victims to follow). Now operative is a more contemporary golden rule, “Them’s with the gold, makes the rules.” You have likely tried to suss this all out. In future, ask yourself this question: Who is the economy for?
