Randi Rhodes Show Talk Show Rules

It's up to you to get the word out - share on all your social media accounts. Please join us here on YouTube LIVE weekdays from 4 to 6pm ET -- don't forget to subscribe it's FREE - click the "BELL" to get live notifications! Thanks! http://bit.ly/SupportRandi



Welcome to the Youtube chat for the Randi Rhodes show. You are one of the treasured officers of the Randi Rhodes Air Force and we are happy you are listening and participating. Free, civil discussion is encouraged, and you can even argue and disagree, as long as it’s genial discourse.


These are a few guidelines (a work in progress) for participating in the chat:

Trolls will be summarily banned. I think we all know what those are. Trolls are people who come in and just spout off to disrupt the channel with things that are offensive.


All Caps: Perfectly fine if you are trying to emphasize a word, but continual all caps messages will get warnings (3) and then a time out. If after the time out, if all caps are used again, that person will be kicked. Accidentally doing that is fine, we all accidentally do that at times.


No ad hominem attacks on anyone in the chat, or the host. Warnings (3) then kicked.


While profanity is tolerated, especially in context, excessive profanity will probably get a warning. Please consider your audience, who probably has a better vocabulary than that.


Threatening the chat or moderators. Immediate ban, and a report to youtube.


Please try to stay on topic to the show. Don’t spam with repetitive messages or memes.


We want this chat to be fun and a way to create a community of friends who value the show who want to connect and to share with each other. Have fun, and bounce your boobies!

The Miami Herald described her as "a chain-smoking bottle blonde, part Joan Rivers, part shock jock Howard Stern, and part Saturday Night Live’s ‘Coffee Talk’ Lady. But mostly, she's her rude, crude, loud, brazen, gleeful self."

Roku leads the market in the number of connected TV users in the United States, Apple falls behind







WEST SACRAMENTO CA (IFS) -- Once upon a time in the World, Television was a box of furniture that looked at you and talked to you.  It was only three (3) stations -- when this writer was a kid growing up. It got up early to NBC's Today Show and off to school.  

After school was the Mickey Mouse Club. Weekends, well . . . It was Howdy Doody Time. . . and cooking with Julia Child.  That was Television.

First, it started slow.  Very Slow.  It was the antenna, then the cable.  

Next, they took away the legs, the pedestal, the large wooden box.  The television tube or cathode ray lamp, which is a giant inverted light bulb, was compressed and replaced with a pixellated square.  

All those old big vacuum tubes were gone!  All of them reduced to the size of a match head.

This writer upgraded to one of the latest at that time and travels with one of the first unit Roku Box in the glove compartment as an emergency device.

You ask were Television has gone?

Well, it will be somewhere first in eye glasses - that Google Glass Device, almost.  But it's a fast start. The technology has been here alone time.

Once upon a time when you "turned off" an electrical device -- it was OFF.  Then you turned it back ON.  In between the area of OFF and ON lays a large continent or a GRAY AREA.

The magic was with Corning Glass and their Transitions Len.  The lens change from light to dark and back again in sun light and in a shaded area.

What if the key was an electrical switch that was created from the body's own battery system that generates enough current to "click the switch over" maintaining a constant electric flow?  In this "in between" state is where the television projection is turned on.

Now from Dark to Television within a blink of an eye!  The technology has evolved or escaped now into the head strap-on eye vision, the Holi-Decks of the USS Enterprise from -- of course Television!  It will get lighter and smaller as things go.  

One day, just the ordinary eye glasses will have light and dark transitions and Television.  All built into the frame with tiny transistors, and the frame itself will be a solar collector for the power. - KHS

Roku TV - Tops Connected TV Market, Apple falls behind


|About: Apple Inc. (AAPL)|By:, SA News Editor 

Roku leads the market in the number of connected TV users in the United States, according to new research from eMarketer.
The research firm estimates that 38.9M users will use a Roku at least once a month this year, which comes in above the 36.9M for Google’s (GOOGGOOGL) Chromecast and 35.8M for Amazon’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Fire TV.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) TV comes in at the back of the pack with 21.3m.  
Paul Verna, eMarketer’s principal video analyst, cites Roku’s neutrality as its primary tailwind. The company doesn’t have any ties to specific content or TV device platforms and can form content partnerships more easily.
A fight between Amazon and Apple kept the former’s app off the latter’s TV until this year, which might have hurt Apple’s share of the streaming market. 
Google and Amazon also have the advantage of integrated their voice assistants into the streaming device, which could drive up the user base as smart home solutions become more popular. 
The research firm isn’t optimistic about Apple TV’s chances, predicting the company will add less than 4M users by 2021 compared to the 20M to 30M net adds by the competition.

prri's the morning buzz

PRRI

July 24, 2017 | Welcome to PRRI's Morning Buzz, your daily dose of religion-related news with a shot of data -- because what doesn't liven up a morning round-up like some public opinion numbers?
Some photos from a hardcore Christian rock and metal festival to start off your Monday.
Sean Spicer resigned as White House press secretary last week. His departure was said to be prompted by the appointment of Wall Street financier Anthony Scaramucci as communications director.
The Christian Broadcasting Network, which earlier this month broadcast a rare non-Fox interview with President Trump, has launched a new online talk show on politics called "Faith Nation." The first guest was (now former) Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who granted Pat Robertson an on-camera interview with the president after nearly a month of off-camera White House press briefings.
A climate scientist and former policy director for the Interior Department says the Trump administration demoted him for discussing the potential dangers of climate change. Per PRRI polling, Republicans are over three times as likely as Democrats to say there is no evidence that the earth's temperature has been rising (46 percent vs 13 percent, respectively). Similarly, Democrats are roughly three times as likely as Republicans to say the earth is warming and these changes are primarily driven by human activity (65 percent vs. 22 percent, respectively). Fewer than three in ten Republicans (28 percent) and Democrats (20 percent) say the earth is warming and these changes are natural fluctuations in the earth's environment or are uncertain of the cause.
The average American household now has a jaw-dropping 828 percent more student debt than it did in 1999, per Federal Reserve Bank of New York data. According to the recent PRRI/The Atlantic survey report, Americans overall are more likely to say a college education is a smart investment (55 percent) than to say it is more of a gamble that might not ultimately pay off (43 percent), but there are important class divides. A majority (63 percent) of white college-educated Americans say it's a smart investment, while a majority (54 percent) of white working-class Americans say it's a gamble. Notably, 61 percent of white working-class men say college is a gamble, compared to 49 percent of white working-class women.

A message from Senator Kamala D. Harris



In LA, SF, and Central Valley, Senator Harris Discusses Health Care, Immigration, Agriculture, and Criminal Justice Reform


Dear Friend,
Last week, U.S. Senator Kamala D. Harris traveled to Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the Central Valley for events on immigration, health care, agriculture, and criminal justice reform. In particular, Harris spoke with Californians about the damaging impacts of the Senate GOP health care bill, which would threaten insurance coverage for millions of Californians.
On Monday, July 3Harris delivered remarks at a Citizenship Ceremony for 41 children and youth, from 14 different countries, who were sworn in as U.S. citizens on board the Battleship USS Iowa in San Pedro. This was the first Citizenship Ceremony to be held on board the Battleship USS Iowa and is for children and youth who derived citizenship when their immigrant parents became naturalized citizens. 
  
Harris also joined a rally at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in opposition to the Republican health care bill organized by the #Fight4OurHealth Coalition and SEIU to highlight the disastrous impact the bill will have on Californians’ access to quality, affordable health care.
    
Later that day, Harris toured and held a health care roundtable with homecare workers and seniors at the Institute on Aging in San Francisco, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the dignity, independence, and well-being of aging adults and those living with disabilities. At the Institute on Aging, Harris also underscored the negative impact the Republican bill will have on California's seniors.
  
On Wednesday, July 5, Harris toured the Fowler Packing Company in Fresno and held an agricultural roundtable discussion. Harris heard directly from agricultural and local leaders about their priorities, including including water storage, trade, immigration, and the reauthorization of the Farm Bill.
  
“I am here today to continue the conversation with our growers to make sure that when I’m addressing these issues in Washington, I am in touch with the real concerns of the folks in this community,” Harris said. “What came out of our meeting includes and reinforces what we know is a real issue for California in terms of our agricultural community, which is that we’re losing workers. So I’m also proud to be cosponsoring a bill with Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Agricultural Worker Program Act, which will give folks who are working on the farms protections around their document status and allow them to work and get on a path towards citizenship.” 
  
Later that afternoon, Harris toured the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla, CA, the largest women’s prison in the United States. At the facility, Harris was able to observe a number of rehabilitation and job skills programs, including the facility’s mental health, substance abuse, dental, construction, and silk screening programs. Additionally, Harris was briefed on the unique conditions and needs of incarcerated women and met with several incarcerated women to discuss some of the common issues impacting them and other women with children caught in our criminal justice system.
Thanks,
Julie
