Netflix suspiciously delayed a documentary release this past week:

0x0.jpg


This was supposed to premiere on March 10 (ObL's birthday); but the day came and went, leaving expected viewers puzzled. In a March 11 email, Netflix confirmed the release date was changed due to a “scheduling shift.” This was truly bizarre because it's Netflix after all. Scheduling shift?

According to a Reddit poster, Netflix customer service even gaslighted him with this response, “We advise that you check the availability of this title solely from the Netflix website only to prevent misinformation from unofficial websites.” The problem with that is: Netflix's own website still shows this show as being released on March 10 - https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/new-on-netflix#day-10

So, why are they being so weird about this documentary? The websites reporting the delay even removed the comments section to prevent people from talking about it. Did they want to edit something out of it? Maybe, but one prevailing theory is: They didn't want to release it during Ramadan, but they didn't realize until it was too late after the initial release was scheduled. Oops!

Following up from a few months ago, Netflix finally released this documentary on May 14.

No official reason was ever given by Netflix for the scheduling shift.

The national debt will never get paid down. There is zero chance politicians and Americans will ever do the tough things needed to do it. Huge entitlement cuts, getting half the country to start paying fed taxes, increase taxes on the existing taxpayers, cut the military budget, etc. We are in too big of a hole and it’s political and likely economic suicide to do the tough things now. Sooner or later the dam is going to break and I fear my generation is going to take a major shot to the chin when we are ready to retire.

Today's drop in the Dow should make the libs happy.

Does 800 points qualify as a "market crash" lol?

You Dems are really stupid people. I hope when Trump wins his 3rd term he deports every single one of you.

Couple things economically. Trump is working the economy into a corner. Shrinking the trade deficit decreases demand for $’s and $ denominated debt (US Treasuries). A decrease in demand for $’s lowers the value of $’s and a decrease in demand for US debt increases interest rates. So at the same time as we are going to go into tariff induced inflation, our $’s are going to get less valueable and our government is going to increase borrowing into a low demand for treasury market which is going to explode interest rates. I just don’t think the economy can eat those pressures regardless of how much cash is left on the table in the tax cuts.

The housing market is toast. I think we’re headed for at least a 10% and possibly 20% nationwide correction in housing prices. At least our property taxes will go down, but anyone who bought a house the last two years is screwed. Interest rates are not going lower for a long time and their house is about to drop in value underneath that loan.

The long slow unwind of the pandemic will hit housing last. But that hit is going to hurt the most.

The Dems and media use to be a little smarter than this, years ago they would try to find pictures of children crying or weeping mothers and show those images constantly. Make their faces the face of deportations...hoping to draw sympathy from millions of Americans and turn them against the idea of sending illegals home.

Now we got Dem Congressmen going to El Salvador to meet with a MS-13 gang member, and libs on CNN arguing with Scott Jennings about us sending like 8 of the worst humans you ever read about to Sudan.

I tend to believe that the Govt is inept and provides the worst of everything it touches. That extended to Trump's awful security detail. They create an environment where a military chopper can eff up and fly in to a passenger jet. They do nothing well so a lone wolf can easily get through while defeating their hapless security measures. I think you give the govt too much credit. I do not.

I'm not buying the chopper was an accident any more than that this kid was a total lone wolf with no connections or help. CNN being there live for the first time during Trump's campaign would have to be coincidence as well.

We know that is what all deranged TDSers think. But, the question was not asked for him. It was asked for the DEI stupid people yelling asylum for the millions who invaded our border illegally. The standards are changed for them based upon their own prejudices AND their derangement over Trump. Those who praised the last administration for ignoring our laws and sovereignty, but now want everyone to think they care about the law. The pseudo intellectuals who are led by the nose by the liberal elites. You know, people who defend Hamas. Ugly people like that.

I tend to agree, but we have been hearing about how "the next generation" will suffer for a few generations. I am thinking this number is rather pointless.....the economy keeps rolling, jobs created, etc, etc, etc, and that rolling debt wheel just keeps ticking along. I don't think anyone knows what the breaking point actually is....or if there is one.

Don't forget the NYT photographer who happens to be there front row and center with a camera capable of capturing an image at 1/30 thousandth of a second.

Sure, it's all just a coincidence like the media tells you. Here, check out my links! Nothing to see, move along... these aren't the droids you are looking for.

The problem is rates... increasing rates, then you have to refinance that debt so the interest payment balloons, leaving you less to spend. It's "fine" so long as we can service the debt with low rates; one man's debt is another man's asset.

I agree. Even if its done for 2 or 4 years, there will always be politicians that run on handouts and a free lunch. So it will never have enough sustenance for the years necessary to lead us out of this mess.

Blame it all on Trump. He's a convenient villain.

As if any more evidence is needed that Dims was thoroughly embedded throughout the deep state, here's what fired Fed employees are doing:

"Progressive and Democratic groups that help people run for office told USA TODAY former federal employees like Ruiz are contacting them in droves to learn what it would take to run for everything from school board to Congress."

Note that they're running as Dims, not across the board.

These fired federal employees are considering running for public office

'It's forced a choice': Fired federal workers prepare to run for office. Democratic groups want to help.

US officials delayed warning public about heart inflammation risk from COVID shot: report

U.S. health officials knew about the risks of myocarditis from COVID-19 vaccines but downplayed the concern and delayed informing the public about the risks of taking the jab—that is according to a new Senate report released by GOP Sen. Ron Johnson Wednesday.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com

One more example of the Biden administration withholding critical information from the American public. Instead of publishing CDC data about myocarditis, their administration continued to require the vax, shame anyone who didn't get it, blame any and all upticks in cases on the 'unvaxxed', etc. All the while putting young people's health at risk. And this from the party who consistently claim: 'think of the children'. It's looking like his administration was the most corrupt, secretive and, ultimately, harmful to many Americans ever. I still see commercials touting the vax and how you need to go get your booster. I'd love to know how many US officials made a killing buying Pfizer and Moderna stock during the pandemic. I bet the true numbers would make me throw up.

It seems like any time an investigation into his administration gets started, there is an announcement of shady dealings or misplaced funds or critical information withheld or outright lies that are uncovered, many of which the MSM either didn't investigate/discover or actively helped to cover up. Seriously challenges a person's ability to trust anything that comes from the government anymore.
