Scripting News Valid

I have Spectrum cable and they recently started unbundling the cable services they provide. So I have a bunch of streaming services that I never decided to follow, and haven't gotten in the habit of checking them. Not sure if I like this, but I certainly understand why the bill is so high and seems to always be going higher? Not sure why that is. But it's hard to get through to them.

Scripting News Valid

Anyway, one of those streaming services I get now is Paramount+ which is owned by the Ellisons, which I don't like, but they have a show that is really excellent esp if you like British crime stories, which I most definitely do, even if most of the actors are American, and it probably was recorded in Vancouver or in Queens. It's called, unimaginatively, The Agency, as in the Central Intelligence Agency. The story is fine, but what really sets it apart is the quality of the acting and production. Beautifully filmed, better to watch it on a nice big screen set with good audio. Two seasons only, but if you want to know the kind of TV I like, this is it.

I seen the new Game of Thrones just completed their third season. I tried getting into it, and couldn't. But then I didn't get going in the original series for the first few attempts. People this show is good, so I will give it another try.

Socialists Are Winning Because They Listen to People...

Socialists Are Winning Because They Listen to People (and don’t just treat them like ATMs). “The best of them are running campaigns that acknowledge that to win, Democrats are going to have to organize voters — not just fund-raise off them.”

How Kevin Warsh Is Rewiring the Fed

“Federal Reserve chairman Kevin Warsh is attempting a high-wire act: He’s trying to fundamentally rethink the central bank’s approach to guiding the economy, while also using its standard policy toolkit to bring down stubbornly persistent inflation,” Axios reports. “A market blowup late last month showed the perils of trying both at the same time.”

GOP Lawmaker Won’t Back Nominee to Replace Him

“Retiring Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) has no plans to endorse the Republican nominee in the race to replace him — and in fact, the rift between the two has continued to fester,” Nevada Independent reports. “Two months after small business owner David Flippo (R) defeated Amodei’s preferred successor and friend in the GOP primary for […]

Republicans in Congress Face Mountain of To-Dos

“Congress is on break for several weeks, but you can hardly blame Republicans if they spend most of it vexing over a lengthy to-do list for when they’re back in Washington,” Bloomberg reports. “The House has just 16 legislative days left, and the Senate 14, before the November elections. That means Republicans in both chambers […]
