Friday December 9, 2017 -- Motown Television Network announced that this night episode of "Earth Tribe", the sci-fi hit that has drawn some ire because of the coming wedding of its two led characters was the 3rd most-watched single episode in RGC television history, and had the largest number of viewers under age 25 in RGC television history.
Why am I not surprised?:cool:

BTW, what where the second and number one watched single episodes in RGC TV history?

Thursday December 8, 2017 -- A rally for the New Hampshire National Movement, a maverick political party with rumored links to the Maine First Party drew 25,000 for a rally in Concord
The rally turned ugly as a counter demonstration, many of them young people, clashed with groups that one reporter for New Hampshire Television called, "The Loyal Order of Paul LePage Fans.
Oh boy, I bet national security in New Hampshire are getting worried. Hopefully they'll expose the NHNM as Confederate pawns.

-- The London tabloids are reporting the Prince Harry may be off the market. Rumours have intensified that Harry has gotten, "close" to mixed-race woman who is a New England forces personnel. Buckingham Palace in a official statement said, "The crown has no comment on this matter, especially given that Prince Harry is a member of Her majesty's forces and in harms way. The Tabs need to actually cover some real news."
Ohh, interesting. Will we see the lucky girl soon?
 
+++ DENIAL +++
Hungarian and Slovenian government have declared in unison that reports in North American media about a confrontation between their armed forces are not based in reality. The political situation between Slovenia and its neighbours has been thoroughly defused more than two years ago with the Confederate withdrawal from the Alpine country and the following elections which forced the Conservatives into a grand coalition with the liberal parties.

Both Slovenia and Hungary take part in the quickly proceeding integration of the Danubian forces and do their part in securing the frontlines on the rivers Danube and Drina between Serbia and its neighbours Vojvodina respectively Bosnia, where the shaky armistice still holds.
 
There is no hostilities between Slovenia and Hungary...but even with the grand coalition, the Slovenians are still caucusing with the Orlando Pact.
 
...which is intended and accepted in a way similar to the role of Finland OTL. Slovenia was instrumental in helping to stop the situation concerning Serbia from escalating further and further.

PORTUGUESE GOVERNMENT DECLARES MARTIAL LAW AFTER OVERNIGHT RIOTING

LISBON (AP) -- PORTUGUESE PRIME MINISTER JOSE PINTO COELHO DECLARED MARTIAL LAW THIS MORNING AFTER A NIGHT OF RIOTING THROUGHOUT LISBON IN THE WAKE OF MASSIVE ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS THAT DISRUPTED A CITY CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION.
IN AN ADDRESS ON PORTUGAL STATE TELEVISION THIS MORNING, COELHO STATED, "THE BARBARIC ACTS OF ANTISOCIALS, AND THE DAMAGE AND DEATH IT CAUSED LEAVE ME NO OPTION BUT TO DECLARE A FULL STATE OF EMERGENCY AND THE IMPOSITION OF FULL MARTIAL LAW...

DETAILS TO FOLLOW -- AP WASHINGTON
 
KOALITION IN ÖSTERREICH STEHT. Wien. After months of negotiations which had at several times come to a total standstill and required several interventions by Erzherzog Karl to go ahead, Austria has found a conservative-liberal coalition for the upcoming years. By now, Sebastian Kurz who heads the Conservative ÖVP has been confirmed by the Nationalrat as head of the monarchy's government.
Following him as Foreign Secretary will be Johanna Jaksch of the regional party SdP. By early December, she had secured the support of the party to negotiate with the Social Democrats in case of failing to form a coalition with the ÖVP and thus gained a lot more leverage with the newly won flexibility. The Sudeten could also secure the ressorts of "Traffic and Infrastructure", "Economy" as well as "Health and Women". The liberal Neues Österreich can place chairman Matthias Strolz in the office of Secretary of the Interior. Liberals will also head the ministries for Justice, Familie & Youth as well as Education. The ÖVP will take responsibility for Finances; Labour, Welfare & Consumers' Rights; Defense & Sport;Science & Research; Art, Culture & Media as well as the Chancellory.

SCHWESIG WILL HEITMANN LOSWERDEN. Berlin / Dresden. East German Chancellor Manuela Schwesig has started a power struggle in order to make an unusual move. She seeks to remove the only Regierungspräsident the NDPD musters,that is 73-year-old Steffen Heitmann who administers Saxony. The heads of the regional governments are not elected in the East German Republic, but are selected by the national Parliament, the Volkskammer. Candidates are not always members of the ruling coalition, so Heitmann got promoted back in 1994. However, at that point of time, there was little doubt that the NDPD, although nationalistic, was in the fold of democratic parties. This is more doubtful by the day nowadays.
While Regierungspräsidenten are chosen with a single majority in the Volkskammer, the Constitution makes their removal somewhat different. They usually step down when reaching retirement age, however they can be forced to step down by a two-third-majorit of the Volkskammer. Since Manuela Schwesig has now official secured the support of the CDU for such a step, time seems to be up for the major NDPD influence in Dresden's Präsidium.
 
"So.....now we are under four eyes, as you requested. Bit of a conspiracy, isn't it?"
"Call it what you want, Heiko, but we need to talk in order to prevent damage to the party. And to the country."
"Quite heroic words coming from the great pragmatist of the North!"
"Don't be funny, Herr Justizminister! I am certain you know what I am talking about. Here are my numbers, and I would be surprised if they don't match those of your people."
Olaf Scholz tossed three paperclipped sheets of paper over to Heiko Mass. The latter read aloud:
Prognose zur Urwahl eines Kanzlerkandidaten der Sozialdemokratischen Partei Deutschlands.
Heiko Mass 26%, Andrea Nahles 41%, Olaf Scholz 33%

Maas looked up, setting his glasses straight. "Yes, this is the current picture."
"Current..." Olaf Scholz let out a dark, gasping laugh. "Eight days before the vote. This is not just current, this is where this race leads to. You know what it means?"
"Well, Olaf, demoscopes say that Andrea is the members' favourite pick."
Olaf waited for more to come, but his opponent also just waited for a reaction.
".....and, despite your glasses, you cannot see beyond that?"
"I guess I can, but I also guess that there are some hidden depth in these numbers you want to tell me about."
Scholz sighed. "It plainly means none of us will become Kanzler."
"That leaves the damage to the party and to the country limited, though I am not a fan of Andrea, nor of her style."
"Flip to page three."
Mass gazed at a pie-graph. "You guys made that up. It wouldn't be that bad....and I actually thought Kanzlerin Nahles would at least bring voters back from the DFK."
"Heiko, on the contrary. The leftists will not leave their brand-new boat, and the center will run to the Schwarzen. Andrea's Kanzlerschaft would not even last a year. We'd be struck with von der Leyen afterwards. Or whoever they come up with. They'll run us out of the Bundestag as they beat us in Düsseldorf and Kiel. I am not amused concerning that prospect. This is what happens when you allow the Basis to make choices."
"But you didn't come for futurology...."

Olaf Scholz paused. "No. I ask you to concede as soon as possible and turn it into a two-way-race." He offered another sheet of paper.

Andrea Nahles 47%, Olaf Scholz 53%

"Oh, Olaf....these numbers look favourable to you. And I assume in your mind also to the party and to the country."

The mayor of Hamburg nodded.

"However, Olaf..." Maas picked up a tablet and opened a PDF-file. "I also don't make up these numbers."

Heiko Maas 56%, Andrea Nahles 44%

"And just like you, I am certain that I could keep the government in our hands later in the year!"

Scholz stared at the younger politician who continued. "So, I ask you, Genosse, that you will be so friendly as to declare tomorrow that you need to concentrate on your work in Hamburg. Because I assure you, that I will remain in the fight, whichever numbers you present to me. It is up to you to decide, who you rather see as chairman of the party. Andrea or me...."
 
Pretty Ricky Comes To Washington -- Monday January 8, 2018
PRETTY RICKY 1.jpg


Our constitution has always been clear about the right of free speech and free expression. But Representative Jack O'Rourke wants to change that, and I stand opposed.

I'm Rick Santorum, founder and CEO of Pretty Ricky Media.

Yes, I make adult films and I know some people don't like that. BUT, those people have a right to make a free choice, just like every American does. The choice to watch or not to watch. The choice to buy or not to buy without the inference of those who wish to impose their beliefs on others and try to turn our country into the Confederate States.

This is why I'll be in Washington, fighting for your First Amendment rights and against who those who think that they know what's best for you.

I'm standing against the O'Rourke Censorship Bill because CENSORSHIP IS FOR CONFEDERATES.


SNC PRETTY RICKY 2.jpg


Today on Capital Watch...Pretty Ricky Goes To Washington...LIVE SNC coverage of the Pretty Ricky Media CEO Rick Santorum head to head against New York ConstDem Representative Jack O'Rourke over the O'Rourke Media Moral Standard Act in a Congressional hearing on the matter.

Many have looked to this "collision" if you well for weeks. Both O'Rourke and Santorum have been on a media joust against each other.


We will be bringing that to you at the top of the hour. This is Satellite News Channel. You give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world.

"Tensions and words fly on Capitol Hill today as Representative Jack O'Rourke clashes with the IRNA's self-proclaimed 'Porn King' over standards and practices in the media.

Japanese naval forces continue to hold a Red Chinese cargo vessel suspected of sending weapons to Alaska, and now rumors about an impending Confederate flotilla moving into the western Pacific.

And strong words from California regarding the possible annulment of recent elections in Portugal.

Nightly News begins now..."

"FROM OUR WORLD NEWS HEADQUARTERS IN NEW YORK, THIS IS NBC NIGHTLY NEWS, WITH MATT LAUER."

uieWlcs.jpg


"Good evening. Two high-profile media personalities, one from the world of politics and one from the world of entertainment, traded barbs and accusations today on Capitol Hill. New York Representative Jack O'Rourke has long been a critic of what he feels are declining morals and standards in North American media, with several of his harshest comments being directed towards Rick Santorum, founder and CEO of Pretty Ricky Productions, the largest provider of pornography and adult entertainment in Free North America. With the introduction of Representative O'Rourke bill regarding a federal mandate for morality and standards in print and electronic media, Mr. Santorum's testimony in opposition of the legislation became one of the hottest tickets the nation's capital.

We begin tonight with our Washington correspondent Geoff Bennett, who was there on Capitol Hill today for the proceedings."

"The chambers of the IRNA's Commitee on Commerce were packed with eager spectators today as controversial New York Representative Jack O'Rourke and pornography mogul Rick Santorum clashed over potential legislation to set a moral standard in the media."

JOR - "It is imperative that the Industrial Republic lead the way not only in advocating freedom and liberty, but also set a high standard when it comes to moral decency."

RS - "People are always going to interested in sex, no matter how hard you try to surpress those urges."

"After years of sparring in the media, today the man known across Free North America as 'Pretty Ricky' found himself face-to-face with one of the most colorful and passionate members on Congress. The topic? A pending piece of legislation authored by Representative O'Roarke that would set federal standards in the media, including magazines, video games, and online content."

JOR - "The rise of UniNet has led to both the free flow of information as well as the availability of smut and lewd filth. This bill would provide a means to protect our children as well as hard working decent citizens of the IRNA from such content by preventing its production in the first place."

"Mr. O'Roarke has been a long time critic of the media, citing his fears that sexual content and violence would lead to the undermining the morals of American society."

JOR - "When my nephew can sit in front of a computer and almost immediately find a video clip from a violent Hollywood blockbuster such as 'John Wick' or a 15 minute video of two women involved in lewd conduct, the availability of such materials obviously constitutes a clear and present danger to this nation."

"Such standards would involve stronger regulatory powers being granted to the Federal Communications Commission and the creation of a federal guideline to involve statues on language, violence, and sexuality for any media created in the Industrial Republic or any such media brought into the Republic."

RS - "I have always stood for freedom of speech, freedom of choice, freedom of expression, and freedom of the markets. As long as there's a demand for adult content, my company will rise to the challenge of providing it."

"CEO Rick Santorum is a well-known face across the IRNA. Some call him a peddler of smut and filth while others see him as a champion of free speech and free expression. Today on Capitol Hill Santorum didn't back down from the blistering attacks from O'Roarke, doing his best to meet the Constitutional Democrat from New York on equal ground."

JOR - "There is nothing redeeming in what you do Mr. Santorum. I can't see how anyone who calls themselves a moral person would allow you to produce and sell pornography without standing in opposition."

RS - "Sir, porn has been around since ancient Rome. Even during the 1950's, a time you seem so desperate to drag this country back to, there were stag films and nudist magazines being passed around."

JOR - "Maybe so, however back then those types of things weren't mentioned in casual society, or you had to go to a back room in a seedy part of town to purchase them. Nowadays anyone can walk into a bookstore and pay seven bucks for a magazine full of naked women and no one blinks an eye!"

RS - "Sir, if you're paying seven bucks for a nudie magazine then something is DEFINITELY wrong. That's way too high of a price!"

"Starting with what he calls a "mom and pop porn studio operating out an former Stop-N-Go," Santorum is now the CEO of Pretty Ricky Entertainment, a vast media empire that includes magazines, DVD's and Blu-Ray's, and subscription based online streaming along with various adult entertainment venues across the INRA as well as several neighboring nations. He's been noted as turning the city of Pittsburgh into the center of Free North America's porn industry by taking advantage of that city's burgeoning technical sector."

RS - "Pretty Ricky Productions was a large part of the HD revolution thanks to our adaptation of high-definition camera and video technology. We did the same thing when it came to online streaming and 4k televisions..."

JOR - "That doesn't give you any sort of high ground Mr. Santorum. All it's done is provide a higher level quality of smut and filth. It's still smut and filth."

RS - "You're absolutely right it is."

"Outside on the steps of Congress, rowdy protesters on both sides waved signs and chanted slogans at one another."

"HEY HEY, HO HO, THIS FILTH AND SMUT HAS GOT TO GO! HEY HEY, HO HO, THIS FLITH AND SMUT HAS GOT TO GO!"

"PRET-TY RIC-KY" *clap clap clapclapclap* "PRET-TY RIC-KY" *clap clap clapclapclap*


"While inside, the debate remained just as heated between two men who may never see eye-to-eye on anything."

RS - "We provide a service that's in high demand sir, not just here in the Industrial Republic but all across Free North America. Hell, do you know who my best customers are? The citizens of the Mormon Republic of Utah. My websites have more paid subscriptions per capita from Utah than any other country in the world. Maybe it's just because they're a lot more honest and prefer to pay for their porn than just search for it online, but when Salt Lake City is more progressive than you are it's time to take a good long hard look in the mirror."

"Political pundits who were in attendance called the back-and-forth a draw as both men staked out familiar ground in their arguments, although there was one comment from O'Roarke that seemed to catch Santorum off-guard."

JOR - "You have eight children sir. If one of your daughters came up to you and said she wanted to become a porn star, how would you react to that?"

"Still, the two men kept up a spirited argument and debate during Santorum's time in front of the committee."

RS - "If this bill becomes law, pornography will still exist in the IRNA. All it will do is force it underground, back into those seedy back rooms and dirty apartments you're so afraid of. My actors and actresses have full benefits, access to health care and are tested weekly for diseases. My products are available to anyone over the age of 18 and we take rigorous steps to make sure our online products remain behind paywalls and subscriptions. What it boils down to is the restriction of choice sir. The adult citizens of this republic should have the option to buy porn or not to buy porn. That's not a decision this government should make for them."


JOR - "Don't act like you're doing this country some great moral service Mr. Santorum. Your products are undercutting the moral fiber of this great land. No one goes into porn by choice. It's circumstance that forces them to dance, or have sex on screen, and it's men like you who prey upon the vulnerability of young men and women all across this continent.

"Afterwards, both men claimed victory, but also showed an unexpected level of respect towards their opponents."

JOR - "I would like to thank Mr. Santorum for taken the time and coming to testify in front of the Committee on Commerce. While I strongly disagree with all that he stands for and the product he produces, he was polite and about as non-confrontational as one could be in these settings. I look forward to his comments when this bill passes and becomes law."

RS - "The Representative is acting out of what he believes are the best interests of this country and I won't fault him for that even though I believe he is completely and utterly wrong. There are those out there who believe that someone with Mr. O'Roarke's moral fiber has to be in the direct pocket of Atlanta, and my response to those people would be a punch to the face. While his moral views may line up with those of the Confederate States, there is no doubt in my mind that the Representative is a true patriot of the Industrial Republic. And because of his service I'm willing to offer him a free subscription to any one of our web sites."

"Today was only the second day of these hearings regarding the bill from Representative O'Roarke. Tomorrow will see the testimony of several video game developers including Todd Vaughn of Bethesda. Bethesda are the co-creators of the hottest selling game this holiday season, The Division: Freedom State. O'Roarke has singled out the game as being incredibly violent and glorifying murder, and there's no doubt the same heat and pressure that was applied to Rick Santorum today will be felt by Mr. Vaughn.

Geoff Bennett, NBC News, Washington DC."

Done!

What I meant by it originally though was one of the criticisms leveled against The Division in our TL - that it's a power fantasy where you can go around shooting poor people who are just looting to survive. That's what I meant, and I apologize for my poor choice of words regarding your creation!
