Epstein File Vote - TV News Misses the Point Again
Billionaire TV News Reports What They are Told, without Understanding the Implications, for Ratings
November 18, 2025 / NYC Neighborhoods / NYC Things To Do Events / News Analysis & Opinion.
Billionaire TV News Reports the Headlines but Misses the Meaning
Billionaire TV News is waiting at the Capitol to cover the House vote to open the Epstein files.
Like it actually matters.
If you have absolutely nothing else going on in your life, then stay glued to the TV News screen to find out how the House and Senate will vote on the issue.
But it doesn't matter and it won't make a difference, as Donald Trump is doing what he does best. Making fools on the American people and the rule of law, by deceiving them and finding loopholes in the law to exploit. Both skills that Donald J. Trump has been practicing all of his life.
Current TV News Teams Cover Events Like Chimpanzees - They go thru the Motions but don't Seem to Really Understand What it is they are doing
TV News waiting on this vote, like it matters. And telling you the same. This reminds of how just over a year ago, TV News responded to Trump's false claim that Haitian immigrants were eating their neighbors pets. Kamala Harris laughed, David Muir put on his "I'm a serious anchorman face" and news outlets headed to Springfield, Ohio on a wild goose chase.
Trump got what he wanted. Which was distracting from what would have been the news- that Kamala Harris was better prepared and more knowledgeable about policy during that debate - essentially winning it. But for which she reaped zero benefits because TV News spent the next few news cycles 'investigating' and talking about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump Orders DOJ to Open Investigation into Democrat Larry Summers in Relation to the Epstein Files - Thune & Johnson Continue Their Heroic Failing of Their Duty to the American People
Yesterday, Trump ordered an investigation into Larry Summers in relation to the Epstein files. He simultaneously went from trying to keep the Epstein Files genie in the bottle, to fully supporting Republicans to vote in favor of it - which they were going to do anyhow.
Why? Because by having the DOJ and FBI opening an investigation and court proceedings against Democrat Larry Summers, Trump has effectively precluded the public from seeing the Epstein Files until after the investigation is over.
Meanwhile Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson, stand idly by, failing miserably in their sworn duty to the Constitution. But this past year they have failed us so many times (I won't digress into that conversation at this time), including leaving it for the courts to uphold their constitutional powers to levy taxes on the people via tariffs.
The Opening of the DOJ Investigation Will Likely Preclude the Files from Being Released Until the Litigation has Ended ... After Trump Presidency
By protocol, not law, the Epstein files are not likely to see the light of day in the public realm as long as Trump is president and his DOJ swears oath to him - not the Constitution - in violation of the law. Court documents are public record but access can be restricted, particularly if they pertain to pending litigation. The court can seal or redact documents to protect sensitive information. This is likely what the Trump DOJ will do.
The DOJ Filed Litigation Against Summers & This Will Likely Prevent Real Disclosure Thru the Trump Presidency
Even if the Summers investigation comes to a close before Trump's presidency ends, Trump will likely order the DOJ to open another investigation into another Democrat found in the Epstein files, which would keep the files in limbo as long as Trump is president, and Republicans Thune and Johnson shirk their duty to the nation.
After Blocking the Epstein Files Release for Months, Trump Does an 180 Pivot
Was it Because he Found Other [Illegal?] Ways to Keep Himself out of Public View?
Trump reportedly ordered teams from the Bondi DOJ and Patel FBI to comb through the Epstein Files within a couple of months of being inaugurated president in January 2025. By May 2025 they had reportedly informed him that his name was all over them.
Thus, in June 2025 Bondi and Patel told the American public there was nothing in them of interest. Dan Bongino, who long pushed the Epstein File conspiracy, almost resigned because of this announcement. Conservative celebrity, Charlie Kirk, called for their release too, only a couple of months before his assassination.

With Implied Presidential Consent, Speaker Johnson Delayed the Epstein File Release in August, & Again in September, October and Most of November
In July 2025, Kentucky Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, along with Ro Khanna initiated a discharge petition seeking the release of the Epstein Files by the DOJ. Speaker Mike Johnson delayed any action on the Epstein File Discharge petition by recessing the House early, in August. And then again from September thru mid November, by closing down Congress for an entire month and a half, in order to avoid the swearing in of Arizona Democratic congresswoman Adelita Grijalva, which provided Massie and Khanna with the votes they needed to pass the discharge petition.
How Long Before TV News Figures out that the Senate and House Votes to Release the Epstein Files have been Rendered Meaningless by the DOJ Investigation? Or do they Only Care About the Ratings Associated with What Seems a Phony Drama?
Pay attention to this on network TV News to figure out which of them are informing you, and which are manipulating you to watch more TV News for meaningless outcomes, and their ratings. We're unlikely to ever see the real Epstein Files, just like we'll never see the real JFK assassination files. Powerful people, like Trump, invariably wield power to pursue their own ends. So don't hold your breath or you'll die.
Trump Epstein Michael Wolff & the Real Interesting Allegations Ignored by TV News
Here are links to a couple of related reports we filed earlier this year. The second link contains a couple of short reports, but there's one on author Michael Wolff, who is in my mind, one of the leading experts on this case. And in that report I've included a url to a video interview with him which I found fascinating and inclusive of facts that billionaire TV News has conveniently omitted from their narratives, like that Trump was allegedly an FBI informant on more than one occasion - including rumored to have been the informant who turned in Epstein to the FBI in a pre-emptive move on him. Epstein was said to be considering turning in Trump for laundering Russian oligarch cash through his real estate transactions.

Conclusion - You're as Likely to see the Real Epstein Files Involving Trump, as you are to see the JFK Assassination Files, Trump's Taxes, the Doge $5,000 Dividend Check or the $2,000 Tariff Rebate Check
I admit I could be wrong. But Trump has a life long track record of dishonesty and deceit. I believe he will continue in that vein until the day he dies, because as the old saying goes, a skunk doesn't change stripes.
Addendum. What Puzzles Me?
What puzzles me, is how so many Americans seem unable to recognize a genuine con man when they see him. Worse, they don't get it, even after they are given ample opportunity to do so.
Let's Briefly Review, Just his Presidency. Russia hoax [Senate majority said credible], Epstein Files hoax [seems very credible], Trump is a fraud hoax [proven in court], drain the swap and see the free jumbo jet donation to Trump Library from Qatar, crooked Hillary but no crooked Don whose company was fined for laundering Russian money via Trump Casino, lying Ted Cru but no lying Don to whom the Washington Post attributed 30,573 false or misleading statements in his first term [and yet TV News broadcasts him making more of the same incorrect statements all of the time without corrrecting them which is one reason they have become so disinformational to the American public], the Donald is a compulsive liar who lies again and again and again, says stop the steal and yet asks the Georgia Secretary of State to essentially create 11,000 votes so he can win that state in 2020, as well as numerous other vote shenanigans including false elector slate(s) and helping instigate the Insurrection on January 6th, rigging the system with gerry manders in Texas [Courts as of this post have declared invalid] and Missouri, but thankfully rebuffed in Indiana, which is a Republican state, and home to former VP 'Hang' Mike Pence, drain the swamp and yet via his son Eric cashes in on the billionaire crypto swamp, drain the swamp and you'll find ballroom donations by billionaire oligarchs with hundreds of millions in government contracts, drain the swamp and you'll find Trump organization real estate deals with Saudi Arabia done in tandem with U.S. military technology transfers which experts think compromise this nation's advantage vis-a-vis the Chinese, claims witch hunts yet hard to know which witch hunt is he talking about like his DOJ going after his former NSA John Bolton, his former FBI James Comey and NYS AG Letitia James or some other, in 2015 / 2016 tells us he'll release his taxes to the public as soon as he's done being audited [the audits ended long ago and we still haven't seen them], and of course all the fake news about him. Or is the news real, but he is 'the enemy within', who just happens to be a fake president?
Sadly the nation voted in his favor in 2024. I believe largely because too many voters rely on what has become disinformational TV News, which disinforms and manipulates the public, rather than informs them. And the quarter billion in campaign spending by billionaire Elon Musk in the swing states.
Thankfully we get to decide again in 2026, and again in 2028. For my part I wonder how long it will take voters to realize that paying attention - aka being woke - just like being educated - isn't a bad thing, but in fact a good thing. Thomas Jefferson said, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be." Please don't ignore that TV News can be very disinformational. And that the best, most reliable and most robust information source is the web. Here's a link to a section we started to help folks navigate their way toward trustworthy reliable sources on the web. We started it in July and I need to update it at some point because I've learned a bit more since then.

Kennedy Schlossberg to Run for Nadler's UWS Congressional Seat
The grandson of President John F. Kennedy announced his intention to run for the congressional seat of Jerry Nadler, who announced he would be retiring from congress at the end of 2026. Members of the first generation of Kennedys in American politics, were impressive. But since then, far less so.
That said, I generally try to keep an open mind, until such time as I have enough information, to begin to make a fair assessment resulting in the formulation of an opinion and point of view.

U.S. Shutdown Ends - Billionaire TV News Ignores the Corruption Story
Senate Majority Leader Thune Allows Provision Enabling Possible Multi-Million Dollar Payouts by the U.S. Taxpayer to Ten Sitting Republican Senators
Speaker Johnson Holds Modern Day Record for House Paid Days Off
On Wednesday, November 12, 2025 House Speaker, Mike Johson, reconvened the U.S. House of Representatives after one of the longest periods of the House being out of session in modern American history. To many, the Speaker's decision to keep the House out of session was seen as a shirking of duty, and an abdication of the power of the branch of government that is most repesentational of the people, to the Executive branch of government.
In the bill, which reopens the federal government, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, reportedly allowed a provision in the bill to enable senators, who had their electronic communications devices inspected and / or monitored, to sue the federal government for $500,000 - per each device - for the inconvenience. The measure allows for retroactive lawsuits, dating back to the January 6th Insurrection - even if the government was acting with a court order.
One of the problems with the bill is that given it is retroactive, it essentially guarantees million to multi-million dollar payouts to the ten sitting senators probed during the January 6th Insurrection. They are: Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty of Tennessee; Josh Hawley of Missouri; Lindsey Graham of South Carolina; Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming; Dan Sullivan of Alaska; Tommy Tuberville of Alabama; Ron Johnson of Wisconsin; Ted Cruz of Texas and Rick Scott of Florida.

Important Reports and Information, You'll Not Find Much of on Billionaire TV News
Updated October 28, 2025 v. Opened September 27, 2025 / Billionaire Press NYC Billionaire TV News / NYC Politics / New York City News / News Analysis & Opinion / Gotham Buzz NYC.
'TV News' is a misnomer, as these days they do little reporting about the important news stories of the day. Instead they allow themselves to be led around by top government officials, who use them to distract their audiences from what's really going on in government, by spinning tales of nonsense - like the United Nations escalator conspiracy, the Haitian immigrants eating dogs and cats in Ohio, and the like.
TV News no longer appears to be generally staffed by competent, dedicated, truth-seeking newspeople, but instead by teleprompter reading actors and models. TV News whittles away their audiences' precious time by showing them what seem the same repetitive police crime videos and social media accident videos. And they air long winded weather reports [do they really think we need to spend ten minutes to find out what the temperature, wind, humidity and precipitation will be tomorrow?], sprinkled with advertorials for their celebrities, their shows, and their music and movies, telling us this is the news.
So, in the interest of community service, we've decided to provide our audience with short reports, with links to sources we find reliable, of the important stories we think are not well covered by billionaire TV News, if covered at all. We hope you'll appreciate our efforts to inform you. And if you do, please spread the word so that your friends and family will start waking up to the fact that TV News is controlled by billionaires, and they're using it to manipulate voters perceptions, whereas in the past - probably ending sometime around Cronkite's retirement in the 1980's - TV News informed Americans about the real news stories of the day that were important for participants in our democracy to pay attention to, stay abreast of, and ultimately collectively and communally address.
We've started this news section in late September / early October and have been updating weekly, posting on Mondays. But the posting date is subject to change. Hilight each link you want to use, then copy it and paste it into the browser bar.

Billionaire Press & Billionaire TV News & the Privately Owned Propaganda Press
Billionaires are Rapidly Changing TV News & Not in a Good Way
Billionaires are Amassing a Huge Concentration of Mass Media Assets, in What Appears to be the Privately Owned Propaganda Press
September 18, 2025 / New York City News / NYC Billionaire Press Billionaire TV News & Free Speech in America / News Analysis & Opinion / Gotham Buzz.
All six TV Networks are controlled by billionaires [or folks whose wealth rounds up to billionaires or are members of billionaire families]. Increasingly they appear to be turning the TV networks into privately controlled propaganda machines. Too often they appear to resemble Rupert Murdoch's mistreatment of the truth in the news. This means they seem to omit key facts and even entire stories from view, while amplifying falsehoods and outright lies spoken by politicians and their teleprompter readers alike, which go uncorrected, leaving those who still trust Network TV News, ignorant and in the dark as to what's really going on in this country.
Network TV News Corps Appear to be Trading Journalistic Integrity for Media Market Share so they can Price More Aggressively. America Beware, as they will have Even More Influence over what you / we Americans see, hear & think.
Colbert was cancelled by CBS and numerous seasoned journalists departed for journalistic integrity reasons. CBS appeared to be compromising their integrity, as Colbert is the top rated show in the time period. But Trump doesn't like Colbert, and CBS had a merger deal that needed to be approved by the Trump Justice Department and FCC, so poof, Colbert cancelled. CBS denies this reasoning, saying they have other [unannounced] plans.
Disney / ABC paid off Trump in a lawsuit many attorneys were sure they could have easily won. And this week Disney / ABC took the Jimmy Kimmel Show off the air for making an opinionated comment of which Trump didn't approve, on the Kirk assassination shooter. Kimmel had joked that the shooter was a MAGA Republican which he does not appear to be, although reportedly the rest of his family is.
The alleged shooter was reportedly in a relationship with someone working through gender identity issues, which is just one of the many important issues of our day, that billionaire TV News repeatedly fails to fully inform upon. This link will take you to the Metropolitan Museum website, of a past photo exhibit, wherein in the mid 1800's a French photographer documented a hermaphrodite, which is someone with both male and female genitalia. That's a fact, that I have NEVER seen raised nor discussed by the flunkies on TV News, who don't seem to be knowledgeable about the world around them, and definitely far too often, just simply do not do their basic homework on important issues.
And the sad thing is that this translates to an increasingly ignorant American public, as up until this year TV was the dominant news source. This year news on the web FINALLY passed TV News, and I am hoping that that trend will accelerate as more Americans start paying attention to how badly TV News fails them, daily.
If you decide to click this link you'll encounter what is likely a shocker to most folks [was to me the first time I saw it at the Metropolitan Museum exhibit in the late 1990's]. But the idea isn't to shock, but rather to instruct - Metropolitan Museum photo exhibit by Nadar of hermaphrodite.

The photo above or at right was taken a few weeks ago at the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown Manhattan. Six years ago, shortly before the pandemic, the museum reopened following significant renovations that spanned about five years. I had not seen it since the renovations, and as you can see by the photo, they did a nice job of opening it up into an airy, interactive, human space.
Sunrise 7.10 am. Sunset 4.28 pm. Daylight Savings Time. We're getting 9 hours & 33 minutes of daylight or five hours and 33 minutes less of sunlight than we were getting the weekend of the Summer Solstice, on June 20, 2025. The Summer Solstice is the longest day of this year, providing 15 hours and 6 minutes of sunlight in NYC.
NYC Specific Weather - This can be very Different than TV News TriState Weather. There is a 92% chance of some precipitation between 10 pm Saturday and 8 am Sunday. We believe it will be under a 1/4 inch of rain [maybe less], but the forecasters are non-commital [rain v. snow] as the temperature will be only a few degrees above freezing. Otherwise it's a dry weekend again, with sun on Friday and cloudy thereafter. The temperature highs will be in the high 30's on Friday and Sunday and in the low 40's on Saturday. The temperature lows will be around 20 on Friday, rising to the high 20's on Saturday and descending into the mid teens on Sunday evening. The humidity will range between 40% - 70% on Friday, 60% - 70% on Saturday, and swing wildly from 90% - 50% on Sunday. The winds will range from 5 - 12 mph all weekend. With the exception of a bit of precipitation Saturday night / Sunday morning, it looks to be nice and normal December weekend. Enjoy.

The photo above or at right was taken at the Green Room in Crown Heights in Brooklyn. It's been open about a year and a half and it's a great neighborhood dining and gathering place.
NYC Specific Weather - This can be very Different than TV News TriState Weather. There's a 60% - 80% chance of a 1/4 inch of rain forecast for between 10 pm tonight and 7 am Saturday morning. On Sunday there's the threat of less than a 1/4 inch of rain all day [so how likely is that?]. Because of the extreme dryness in our climate in recent years, we've noticed water weather systems tend to be over-forecast, as by the time they get here, they have dried out. While this may make for nicer weekends, it's a huge warning sign that the planet is drying up, which is going to wreak havoc on human and other life. Ignorance is bliss. The temperature highs will be between 60 and 65, and the temperature lows will be 55 - 60 all weekend. The humidity has been tending to peak around 7 - 8 am and dip in the late afternoon. Friday and Saturday the highs will be 80% and 95% respectively, while the lows will be 35% and 50% respectively. On Sunday it's going to be about 90% humidity all day. The winds will range from 10 - 15 mph on Friday and Sunday and from 5 - 10 mph on Saturday. Some wind, possibly a bit of rain, with moderate temperatures - all in all not a bad November weekend.
Friday Afternoon Edition @ 5.15 pm. Mostly done, but with some work to do on related pages. Should be done later this evening.

Allegations of More Eric Adams & Associates Corruption
Not the Least of which is What Seems Flagrant Neglect to Maintain Integrity of NYPD Operations

NYC News & Weekend Briefs - Eric Adams Corruption Allegations Growing Again
The Scent of More Adams 'Related' Corruptions Continue to hit the Radar - And Network TV News Turns a Blind Eye
Separately, after three and a half years of 'getting stuff done' for billionaires and real estate developers, Adams has finally focused his attention on the working class voters of New York, handing out government money, in a manner that leads me to believe he thinks the public money is his own.
"Show Me The Money" Eric Adams famously used to say. We should have listened. Adams can't seem to shake all of the corruption allegations that surround him, the members of his administration and the Administration itself. Allegations of bribes, numerous staff indictments, including of Eric Adams who is the first sitting NYC Mayor to be indicted in office.
Public Advocate Jumaane Williams sent a letter to the Mayor this week, questioning his management of the oversight of the NYPD. Adams has employed Trump-style tactics in dismantling the checks and balances in the system that have kept American government relatively corruption-free in modern times. Editor's Note. NYC government is far from clean, as you can see by how all of the publicly owned / controlled real estate is transferred, 'legally', to billionaires [and or their real estate companies] who are friends of or have funded two of the last three mayors' campaigns. For further details see - Stephen Ross and Related Companies have been feeding at the public trough.
We'll have more about Adams and the NYPD later. But in the meantime - For details see - https://comptroller.nyc.gov/reports/letter-to-mayor-adams-re-urgent-concerns-regarding-oig-nypd-staffing-and-oversight-capacity/
In a lawsuit filed July 16, 2025, a former NYPD Commissioner, Thomas Donlon, accused Adams of operating the NYPD as if it was a "criminal enterprise". More to follow.

Stagflation, Adams Tepid Endorsements but Strong Real Estate Funding & U.S. Taxpayers Funding Israeli Expansionism and Efforts to Deprive Palestinians of a Homeland
August 15, 2025 / NYC Business & Economy / NYC Politics & Government / News Analysis & Opinion / Gotham Buzz NYC.
Stagflation May be Headed our Way
It Looks Like We May be Heading for a Stagflation Economy. According to 8.15.25 Yahoo Finance report, wholesale prices rose faster than expectations, up 0.9% in July, far faster than expectations. The core rate grew 3.7% vs an expected 3%. The Fed target rate is 2%. Services, not goods, were the driving force behind the inflation increase, and services are not tied to tariffs. We might be heading into a stagflation economy, where inflation continues or picks up, while jobs growth slows, as happened this month.
The contributors to a staglationary economy include that the U.S. dollar has lost 10% of its value since the beginning of the year. This means everything purchased outside of the U.S. will essentially cost 10% more to Americans. And tariffs will eventually add further to the inflation problem by increasing the cost of goods further.
TV News doesn't seem to understand that there's a lag time between when changes in the economy occur [like tariffs or currency valuation changes], and when the impact of them shows up at the cash register. Macroeconomic lag times range from three to eighteen months as these changes work their way through the economy. And speaking of TV News, it's worth mentioning that a stagflationary economy would be just the opposite of the 'Trump Economy' touted by Fox News during the Fall 2024 campaign cycle.

Eric Adams Support Seems Fueled by Narrow Self Interests
Is Eric Adams Recycling Faith Based Campaign Endorsements? About a week ago, Eric Adams announced that he was being endorsed by 100 faith based leaders. The endorsements appeared to come from some of the same people who've been supporting Adams all along, some of whom I've seen at various mayoral events, and some of whom I believe stood with him when he announced his re-election bid as an Independent in June of 2025.
Earlier this week Adams also picked up an endorsement from former NYS Democrat Governor Paterson, who is legally blind, and who switched his allegiance from Cuomo in the Democratic primary, to Adams running as an Independent.
A group of police unions also endorsed Adams this week, but notably missing was the largest NYC police union, the NYPBA. The NYPBA had previously endorsed Adams in the 2021 election, reportedly unenthusiastically. This may be why the NYPBA is holding back their endorsement again, or it could be that the NY Patrolmens Benevolent Association union is not happy that Adams has sullied the name of the NYPD, having been charged in a lawsuit with turning the NYPD into his own personal "racketeering enterprise".

In Nearly Four Years has Eric Adams done Anything to Rein in Landlord Harassment & Slumlord Millionaires? Have Privately Controlled TV News Networks Spread & Amplified another seemingly Trump Epstein Big Lie? Why Did Trump Have to Travel to Scotland to Find out that the Palestinians are Starving in Gaza?
August 1, 2025 / NYC Politics & Government / NYC Social Issues / Gotham Buzz NYC.
Eric Adams has Succeeded in Helping Billionaires Build Luxury Housing, but He has Failed to Stop Landlord Harassments of NYC Tenants & the Alleged Cheating of Black & Brown Homeowers out of Their Properties via Deed Theft - Documented in Film Slumlord Millionaire and in an OpEd by FEC NYCHA Tenants
News Analysis, Opinion & Insight. This story is not likely to show up on your TV screen in a timely fashion, because real news stories and real news insights rarely do. And too often, by the time they do, it's far too late to make a difference.
This is the trailer to a recent film that came out regarding landlord harassment in NYC, as well as about black and brown homeowner deed theft - neither of which Eric Adams appears to have done much about, during his nearly four years in office as NYC Mayor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuuBlQJh86M
If you find the trailer interesting enough, you can watch the full one hour and 22 minute long film on PBS until 8.26.25 - at which time it expires. Viewing the film now is free, but it is preceded by two short PBS promos before the film begins - https://www.pbs.org/video/slumlord-millionaire-3sgi7g/
Eric Adams claims to be a pro housing Mayor. It is true that he's been very supportive of housing projects by billionaires and international investors. But Adams has not advocated much - if at all [eg. the Rent Guidelines Board rent increases during his one term in office] - for tenants. And he's not been a champion of the black and brown people to whom he tells what now seems his phony personal housing insecurity story. You know, the one about him bringing his clothes to school as a child for fear of eviction. This story wouldn't be the first nor the only lie he has publicly told New Yorkers. And Adams appears to be helping multi-billionaire real estate developer Stephen Ross move FEC NYCHA tenants out of their homes, so that Ross can grab even more NYC land than he already has.
But don't take my word for it.

Eric Adams Facing More Corruption Charges vis-a-vis NYPD & Mamdani Beats out Cuomo for Union Support
News Analysis & Opinion.
Meanwhile former NYPD Captain, Mayor Eric Adams, was hit with yet another set of corruption charges in court, this time alleging that Adams had turned NYPD operations into a criminal enterprise. See graphic above or at right.
We'll provide details sometime later, but in the meantime, take a look for yourself at what kind of a 'law and order' Mayor Adams is - https://www.thecity.nyc/2025/07/16/nypd-donlon-lawsuit-adams-racketeering/
NYC mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, has secured the backing of a number of large NYC unions support, beating out former Governor Cuomo for unions that had previously supported him.
We'll provide details sometime later, but in the meantime here's a video Mamdani did, taking a pre-emptive shot mocking the adolescently edited NY Post, instead of the other way around https://www.facebook.com/reel/1066919915568285
