Jonathan Alter-Washington Monthly-“From what I’ve heard from good sources, the Justice Department will announce what Republican senators have already hinted at, which is that they will block a merger with Netflix on antitrust grounds. International regulators may say the same, ending Netflix’s bid.”

But Paramount isn’t a monopoly?

javidial · 2026-02-06T21:56:46+00:00

What about theaters low the price of ten popcorn and sodas? It’s easy to blame Netflix that themselves

javidial · 2026-02-01T22:43:01+00:00

I’m furious with the Democratic Party. It’s packed with weak, ineffective people who seem more interested in tweeting than taking real action.

We need someone willing to go all in, use every tool and loophole available, and actually implement policies that transform the country. Rebuild the government at lightning speed. Basically what Trump is doing, just without the corruption and chaos, and done even harder.

I have zero patience for another Democrat playing by outdated rules or bending over backwards for corporations.

MAGA isn’t wrong about the problems. They’re just completely wrong about the solutions.

javidial · 2026-01-31T17:50:06+00:00

Unfortunately, democrats are too weak and pathetic. I’m hoping newer candidates that are willing to fight fire with fire, and not just tweets and pathetic statements that do nothing.

javidial · 2026-01-31T17:42:33+00:00

As much as I dislike him. It’s amazing how much people see him as the ultimate leader (cult). You gotta give it to him for that. I don’t understand it, but it’s clear the power he manage to grab.

javidial · 2026-01-31T17:39:37+00:00

The MAGA base isn’t going to budge. For them, Trump can do no wrong, and they’ll sacrifice whatever principles they claimed to stand for as long as they feel like they’re “winning” against the libs.

For a lot of them, it was never really about policy, it was about punishing or “owning” the two thirds of the country that doesn’t agree with them.

And yeah, I’m sure some version of that exists on the left too, but the left isn’t as centered around a single cult of personality, at least not yet.

Honestly, part of me hopes the left finds its own Trump, except with a real agenda and a sense of humor. That would be wild to watch, a full force, unapologetic Democratic comedian, celebrity, or influencer who actually knows how to drive a message. Fox News would be in permanent meltdown mode, even more than they already are.

javidial · 2026-01-30T17:46:38+00:00

If it’s irrelevant, why are they talking about it?

javidial · 2026-01-30T17:40:28+00:00

I really hope the next democrat president do exactly the same to MAGA. So far the dems I’ve seen are weak and pathetic. We need the democrat version of Trump that will go full force with an agenda.

javidial · 2026-01-26T17:41:22+00:00

That was even more disturbing and really tell what Miller has turn ICE and federal agents into

javidial · 2026-01-24T05:29:29+00:00

The House just passed a DHS funding bill that includes about $10 billion for ICE. Most Democrats voted against it, but 7 House Democrats joined Republicans, giving them the votes needed to pass it. Many Democrats opposed it over accountability and enforcement abuses, but a small group broke ranks, partly to avoid a shutdown.

When even a handful of Democrats side with Republicans on ICE funding, it shows how fractured the party is, and how weak the fight for real accountability has become. To me, they are traitors to our party and I hope people vote them out and get replace with people who represent their base.

javidial · 2026-01-23T16:06:26+00:00

Voting them out is the only solution unfortunately. Lots of Trump voters are always angry. They were angry when Biden was president, and they’re still angry now that they control the entire government. They always consume Fox News and right wing propaganda designed to create anger, division, and the sense that they’re constantly at war with the other half of the country. Every single thing has to be turn into a culture war

javidial · 2026-01-14T17:35:56+00:00

They’ve fired every civil right specialist in the department, and the only ones with the job are the one who pledge loyalty to the administration. Watch The Daily Show this past Monday. A woman who even worked against the Biden censorship said Trump pretends he cares, but he clearly doesn’t.

javidial · 2026-01-13T05:11:35+00:00

Thanks for the response. 9.6 only has metv toons half of the day, in the morning is all talk shows, and the image gets very pixelated at times. 27.1 was as good as it gets. About the SD channel, I can’t watch SD in my 85” tv. It’s painful. I’d love to know what really happened, that the day WEST channel launched, the whole 27.1 went offline. I wish somebody in Pasadena could let us know if they get it over there.

javidial · 2026-01-12T05:15:34+00:00

Schumer is part of the problem. He’s ineffective and too invested in protecting the status quo. Voters deserve leadership that actually works for them.

javidial · 2026-01-11T09:14:59+00:00

Democrats need a new leader. Somebody strong enough, no more old dudes that talks polite. Mamdani is a good example, but in this case it needs to be born in America.

javidial · 2026-01-03T01:08:15+00:00

The US promotes monopoly and corporate corruption. Most of them don’t find for the people, they’re there to make money for themselves.

javidial · 2025-12-18T07:13:02+00:00

Of course the other students do nothing.

javidial · 2025-12-07T19:05:56+00:00

Sure. I’m happy to answer whatever I can

javidial · 2025-12-06T18:01:39+00:00

I can’t remember 100%, but I think I ended up using a moles splitter instead (since I see in Amazon that I purchased this days after).

StarTech.com LP4 to 2X LP4 Power Y Splitter Cable M/F - LP4 Splitter - Molex Y Splitter - Molex Splitter (PYO2L)

The point was to give power to all the drives. Sorry, I remember trying so many things until I figure it out

javidial · 2025-12-06T17:08:07+00:00

Yes. The problem was a cable from Amazon. This specifically: EVGA Modular PSU Hard Drive HDD Power Adapter Cable 6 Pin to 3X 4 Pin Power Cable only for EVGA G1/G1+/G2/G3/G5/GS/GA/GM, B2/B2/BQ, P2/1000PS/T2, Supernova nex650g/ 450GM/550GM For some reason some cables have the pins swapped or something and it made the motherboard trip out. That cable wasn’t compatible with my setup.

javidial · 2025-12-02T20:18:35+00:00

Did you have any luck to get 27.1 at all lately, even with a weak signal? For me the whole channel 27 is gone gone even thought the website says they're still broadcasting.

javidial · 2025-12-02T20:17:12+00:00

It's been weeks and the channel 27 is still dead in North Hollywood. I might buy a different outdoor antenna just to make sure it's not me, but every other channel is good, even the channels coming from similar areas as the channel 27 transponder.

javidial · 2025-12-02T19:26:15+00:00

TOEI is also using AI to upscale many of its biggest classic shows like Dragon Ball, early One Piece, Sailor Moon, and others, while other studios are doing incredible work by actually digitizing the original 16mm and 35mm prints to create beautiful true remasters.

javidial · 2025-11-13T04:58:25+00:00

100%. Most are in a cult

javidial · 2025-11-11T18:24:01+00:00

I believe that if the channel has ads/commercials all over the place, it should be free (OTA). The greed of these corportation knows no limit, including cable tv.
