The Bright Sunlight
They stood askance. Bright purples and deep oranges speckled their faces. In the bright sunlight, the masked figures kept their hands behind their backs as if in parade rest. There stood ten of them. The wind blew the blue hair of some of the masked people standing in the Newark, Delaware corporate office complex. The vast majority of employees had left for home early this day as the company, Terry Capital, recognized Halloween as a sacred holiday. Betina Ossley walked with a stride that said purpose. As the CEO of her company she walked out last from the office. She stepped right into the standoff of the ten costumes that stood about like a copse of ill-planted evergreens. Her gait began to quicken as she saw that the rest of the parking lost remained vacant.

Talking Star: 'The Star Report': Is T.I. in Love with Iggy Azalea?
The Star Wars saga crops up in relation to N.O.R.E. and Joe Budden in relation to their hatred. But the direct idea is about T.I. and Iggy Azalea. Star doesn’t like the fact that Clifford Harris tried to make her out to be a culture vulture. N.O.R.E. has stated that Jesus Is King is “trash.” The phone lines open up with caller Black. He agrees that the album is trash. Star says that “if anyone is qualified” to say that the album is trash, it’s N.O.R.E. Mr. Torain reminds Black that “streets have no love.” Boss Chick Ronnie chimes in saying that Iggy Azalea is a “big girl” and can handle herself. She senses that Clifford Harris isn’t bitter in any way. Star puts on the paper that Harris will run for public office.

"Talking Brook: 'Yaron Brook Show'"
After a brief spell of technological entanglement, Dr. Brook splashes into the show. The focus of the show is Medicare and a public option. A video of Sam Seder with Dr. Brook’s commentary carry the show. The good doctor still experiences some difficulties in relation to the update he performed on the software prior to the evening’s proceedings. The question of whether to use the public option or not concerns the idea of buying into a system and still keeping a private portion. Dr. Brook says that insurance companies seek knowledge on how to effectively price insurance. Like with auto insurance who charge folks despite the notion of whether they’ll get into a collision, medical insurance companies weigh whether someone will be charged more based on the fact that people get sick. For example, Dr. Brook’s puts out there the idea of obesity being more money than for someone who is fit. Bottom line, government distorts the market. Prices in the public option increase significantly if all people rush it.

Talking Star: 'The Star Report: Kanye West 'Jesus Is King' Review'
“Fire!” Exclamations erupt from the mouth of Troi “Star” Torain in recognition of Kanye West’s new album. Mr. Torain wants to know if his audience knows who Fred Hammond is. He talks about Mr. West’s 501 (c)(3) still not being up and running yet. He says that Kanye’s ego is a thing that clashes with his religiosity. But he finds the project to be of substance. Star says that he’s skeptical to see an “unstable” Kanye West as commander-in-chief of the United States.

Talking Brook: 'Yaron Brook Show'
The exchange of ideas takes center stage during this monthly Contributor Hangout. From the start, Jennifer queries about Catholicism being present in Latin America. Dr. Brook goes so far as to say that other places like Europe have adopted this form of mysticism. The way that Dr. Brook is able to field questions is a revelation. He is not prepared to take these questions and answers them thoroughly and directly, just like in his other shows.

Reason First: Can Rationality Prevent Murder?
In the amount of time that it took to stab his girlfriend to death, Rondell Veal could have talked out his emotions. Instead of killing her, he could have employed reason and allowed those feelings to take a backseat. Sadly, none of this happened. Veal’s sentencing of 33 years in prison after serving two years already due to the 2017 homicide of Sherrie Campbell seems to be light. What could’ve prevented this first murder in three years in the city of Newark, Delaware? (A 2014 botched robbery saw the slaying of Marcus Johnson.) The application of logic and the understanding of safeguarding human life and actually thinking before one acts would have been the keys to a more conducive interaction.

Reason First: Why Is Drug Prohibition Still a Thing?
When will the insanity stop? Another young man of color, named Japree Ayers has been arrested not for robbery, rape, or homicide or any other violation of individual rights, but for drug possession and intent to deliver among other charges. His mother, Rosalyn Ayers, is on the lam for similar charges. Japree Ayers of Laurel in Sussex County, Delaware, is the latest case in the miserable track record of the feigned “War on Drugs.” One can only seek the complete dismantling of the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Food and Drug Administration and the thousands of drug units at police departments across the country and even more around the world. Over some marijuana and heroin, this young man may now face time in prison. Where’s the justice? How many people did he physically perpetrate force against on his way there? While his mother may be currently evading the clutches of the law, Ayers will be looking at some considerable numbers. Possibly, if he gives up his own mother, he may do less or no time at all.

Talking Brook: 'Yaron Brook Show'
Economy and state ought to be separated, according to Dr. Brook. The fact that the bureaucrats lambasted Mark Zuckerberg demonstrates this ideal. There are few things that “piss” off Dr. Brook like government asking pointless and stupid questions. Dr. Brook finds that Zuckerberg doesn’t understand many things about free speech, but that does not take away from the young man’s brilliance. The Congress People who blew their lids against one of the most productive minds in human history posed the most asinine and unrelated queries. The Libra foundation has a white paper or an outline of various ideas that lets private individuals know what the currency will entail. Zuckerberg is touting the Libra to further expand his business, and create more wealth for himself. Is this what the Congress People wanted to hinder, or even halt? The competition is fierce on the web, as sites like Google and Amazon go head-to-head to track the production and consumption actions of individuals. Facebook wishes to create a type of money to allow for the free flow of the innovative currency in the market.

Reason First: Should Law Enforcement Act as Mental Health Care Professionals?
In opioid and heroin usage cases in New Castle County, Delaware, the police have devised a plan to curb the amount of injuries and deaths associated with using certain narcotics and the abuse of prescription drugs. While it would seem odd for an officer to carry a gun and drugs, it’s already happened in other cities. Police often are armed with both a pistol and a canister of naloxone. But what is more disturbing is the fact that they must now become physicians and psychiatrists on the beat. This is unacceptable. The role of police officers is to protect individual lives and property of the citizens of a given area. They are not shrinks with a badge. It is totally improper for the police in New Castle to become healthcare officials.

"Talking Brook: 'Yaron Brook Show: Harvard & Race, Trump & Impeachment'"
Two topics tangle with each other in this offering of The Yaron Brook Show. The Students for Fair Admissions claimed that Asians had a quota, and the policies behind the politics of the Trump impeachment. Dr. Brook lasers in on the idea that Harvard is accepting smaller numbers of applicants even though a greater amount of students apply to go to the Ivy League university. Dr. Brook agrees that Harvard should have the right to have whatever system it chooses to use as a private school. He says that parts of the Civil Rights Act ought to be redacted out of the law of the land.

"Talking Star: 'The Star Report’”
Star shines at the outset of the show with a question about squabbling in a mall. Mr. Torain wants to know who assisted the young woman to the mall. He also wants to know if there is a heterosexual adult mixer down in the Atlanta area. The other topic includes Steve Harvey’s daughter Lori Harvey, who allegedly tried to flee from the scene of a collision. Some guesswork comes into play on Star’s part as he says that Harvey must have said about his daughter that “God will handle this.” Mr. Torain would like to know if Lori tweaked on a substance prior to getting behind the wheel. He declares the exit of Bucwild from the rehabilitation “program” a “nightmare.”

Talking Star: ‘The Star Report: What is a Black Freedom Fighter?'
Boss Man Troi “Star” Torain acknowledges Atatiana Jefferson’s father Mr. Marquis Jefferson for his stance on postponing the funeral of his daughter. He then goes to the other topic of what it means to be a freedom fighter, in particular, a black one. Star talks about his Skype session with his girlfriend in California. Boss Chick Ronnie joins the show with her spirited voice. The two discuss the bizarre Cuba Gooding Jr. video that has resurfaced on the internet. Mr. Torain said that he looked like he was allegedly on “some good s––.” Ronnie says that to raise $250,000 is questionable. Star says that these family members want to purchase “C-Classes and take trips down to the Canary Islands”...allegedly.
