I invite everyone to choose forgiveness rather than division, teamwork over personal ambition.

Donald Trump was so furious at Jimmy Kimmel’s mockery of him, he wanted to censor the late night show host after just one year into his presidency, according to a report.

The former president directed his White House staff to call one of Disney’s top executives to pressure Kimmel to dial back on anti-Tump humour in 2018, two former Trump administration officials told the Rolling Stones.

The “severity of Mr. Trump’s fury” was conveyed in at least two separate phone calls to executives of Disney, owner of ABC which airs Jimmy Kimmel Live!, it said.

A former Trump official said Mr. Trump felt the talk show host had been “very dishonest and doing things that [Trump] would have once sued over” in his jokes about him.

“I do not know to who[m], but it happened. Nobody thought it was going to change anything but DJT was focused on it so we had to do something…It was doing something, mostly, to say to [Trump], ‘Hey, we did this,’” another official said.

The Trump White House staff reached out to former Disney top lobbyist Richard Bates, who passed away in December 2020.

Mr. Trump who was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress has announced his campaign for a second presidential term in 2024. Despite his impeachment, a string of lawsuits and investigations, Mr. Trump has said “he is entitled to a revenge tour” if he wins but he would not do that.

It was not the first time it has emerged that Mr. Trump ordered a crackdown on those criticising him. In 2018, Ajit Pai, former chair of the Federal Communications Commission, said the agency was investigating a joke made about Mr. Trump and Vladimir Putin’s relations by Late Show host Stephen Colbert. The FCC eventually declined to move forward with the case.

It's October 30th, 🛸 War of the Worlds Day! It was on this evening in 1938 that radio listeners across the United States heard a startling report of mysterious Martian creatures and their terrifying war machines advancing toward New York City. But the hair-raising broadcast was not a real news bulletin – it was Orson Welles' sensational, realistic dramatization of the H.G. Wells 1898 classic science-fiction novel, "The War of the Worlds." In the 21st century, life would imitate art when the diabolical Putin creature attacked Ukraine with his war machines.

“The War of the Worlds” wasn't the world's first fake-news radio dramatization, but it was certainly the most successful. Everybody involved with the broadcast's development and production, Welles included, thought the presentation was going to be too silly for people to take seriously. Boy, were they wrong – a great many did!

The Federal Communications Commission responded to the deluge of complaints that poured in, but ruled that no law had been broken. Radio networks did, however, agree to be more cautious in their programming in the future. In the aftermath of the broadcast's notoriety, Welles landed in Hollywood. In 1941, he directed, wrote, produced, and starred in one of the greatest American films ever made, "Citizen Kane." ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

So You've Been Charged by Your Previous Phone Carrier After You've Already Canceled the Contract.

This situation happened with my husband and me, and I feel it's not an uncommon problem no matter which carrier you were using.

BACKGROUND: We switched from Verizon to T-Mobile. The manager at the store we went to baited and switched us so we cancelled our contract within 20 days or so of starting it (There were a few other resons, but that was the most significant one). We returned our phones in the original boxes with all the accessories included. We did everything on our end to end our contract and we ported our phone numbers over to a different carrier.

Then, we started getting bills from T-Mobile saying we had a credit. We called them to try and get that credit paid out to us, but they told us we had to go in person to the store to get that money. We didn't want to make that trip for a few reasons, half of them personal, half of them practical. Each time we tried to deal with customer service, the person we would speak to always had a script and wasn't deviating from it to save their life. Sound familiar?

Then, two whole years after canceling the contract, we got a notice last March that T-Mobile wanted ~$130 from us or they would contact a debt collection agency. I tried working with the T-Mobile helpdesk on Twitter to get to the bottom of this, but they claimed they couldn't access my account until I verified my number with them. That felt like a red flag to me and I refused to. Instead I did some digging to find out how legitimate this threat was and how to counteract it. Then I found the FCC (Federal Communications Commission)

Their man goal is to make sure you as a consumer are being treated fairly by your carrier, whether it be phone, internet, cable, or otherwise.

Here is the link that will help you: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us

Submit the evidence you have. I submitted my account number, pictures of the conversations with the help desk, and a picture of the notice T-Mobile sent along with the information the FCC needed in the form. The FCC will contact you to let you know they're looking into the matter. If your former carrier doesn't contact you to resolve your issue, they will face hefty fines from the FCC. I received one last bill that I paid because that bill was for a SIM card my husband was using in his iPad that we had forgotten about. That also included the cancellation fee for that SIM card. It was less than half of what they were asking from us when they were issuing the debt collection notice.

So if you're ever caught like this, send your information to the FCC. It's 100% free to submit a complaint and it can resolve an issue that you may not have the time or resources to solve yourself.

Update:

They have refunded the check I sent along with a letter that basically says “we did nothing wrong and because we did nothing wrong, we’re sending the credit that was on your account when you canceled your contract with us that we’ve been keeping for two years.”

Justice.

"#AmateurRadioOperators, or “hams,” have a long history of serving their communities when storms or other disasters damage critical communication infrastructure, such as cell phone towers and fiber optic networks. Amateur radio functions completely independently of the internet and phone systems, and a ham radio station can be set up almost anywhere in minutes. Amateurs can quickly raise a wire antenna in a tree or on a mast, connect it to a radio and power source, and communicate effectively with others."

Joe Biden on Thursday signed into law a bill aimed at easing the cost for incarcerated people to call family and friends.

The legislation clarifies that the Federal Communications Commission, which regulates interstate and international communications through cable, radio, television, satellite and wire, can set limits for fees on audio and video calls inside corrections facilities.

Phone calls from prisons and jails are a lifeline for those incarcerated, but the cost varies widely and can be a financial drain on families already struggling to make ends meet with an adult behind bars. Right now, Kentucky has the highest cost for a 15-minute call, at $5.70, and $9.99 for a cellphone call, while New Hampshire charges only 20 cents for the same amount of time.

There are more than 1.2 million people in state and federal prisons, and tens of thousands more are incarcerated in jails nationwide awaiting trials or sentencings.

The COVID-19 pandemic froze prison visits, forcing incarcerated people to rely heavily on phone calls, and the health crisis spotlighted the disparities in state and federal phone charges. Studies by prison reform advocates and academics have shown that visitation and phone calls with loved ones decrease the likelihood that a person will commit crime again.

The bill was sponsored by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., and just retired-Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio. It was named in honor of Martha Wright-Reed, a retired nurse who tried for more than two decades to get more affordable rates because she could not afford to call her incarcerated grandson at the cost of more than $100 per month.

The FCC must still go through the rule-making process before the changes can be officially made. In 2013, FCC caped rates at 25 cents per minute, which meant a 15-minute call cost $3.75; before that it was roughly $17 on average, about 10 times more than the average per-minute rate. Prison telecommunication companies challenged the decision in court, claiming the FCC didn’t have the right to regulate the calls.
