Speaking of Potential Russian Collusion to Interfere in U.S. Elections...
I just got a link to the following in my "Junk" folder from Tom Steyer, recruiting my support to impeach the president. [More]
Demand the Justice Department investigate his substantial past Russian economic ties and ensure there has been no undue foreign inflence exerted to undo the results of a lawful election.
Knowing @Jack
Whether or not he’s comfortable in the role, Dorsey seems to have realized the necessity of being less ambivalent about what he’ll allow on the service he created. [More]Another Keeper heard from...
It's a real bind for we small fry "content producers" talking about stuff the DSM won't. I tried MeWe as a Facebook alternative and Gab as a Twitter replacement and can't say I've seen any resulting article traffic worth my time to deal with either, and that's the only reason I bother with "social media." I do, however, seem to attract an inordinate amount of sex spammers using voluptuous avatars to mask that they're probably Chechen hackers or Nigerian phishers.
Add Google News moderators removing my stuff from their feed and guys like me are pretty much limited in reach to site visitors, only a handful of whom take it on themselves to share links. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop and find blogs like this are targets of complaints and not only no longer "welcome," but removed without notice. It's happened before.
Ah well, things'll probably run a lot more smoothly without extremist malcontents trying to gum up the works and when the tolerant diversity of approved groupthink rules the day. We'll certainly avoid a lot of unnecessary unpleasantness for all parties concerned:
Because Who Better to Leave Your Children with than Utterly Helpless 'Adults'?
All this talk of arming teachers has to stop [More]Oh gosh, Blake Shuart said it so that must settle it.
He sure sets up a lot of prior restraints in order to deny fellow citizens the choice to exercise their rights. And every one of his objections applies not just to school grounds, but to everywhere.
I'd also like to see some validatable facts on"underpaid" teachers spending their own money on supplies that do not come from special interest "surveys" designed to promote tax breaks and denigrate Republicans.

Off the Grid
Both China and Russia have been detected conducting similar cyber battlefield reconnaissance against the U.S. networks used to control critical infrastructure in the United States, including electric grids, transportation, financial, and other critical systems. [More]And here I thought I was being paranoid noticing that we seem to have more power outages here in 21st Century Northeast Ohio than the ones I recall my family having to get used to when I was a kid in 1960s Tehran. (For those who didn't know that, I tell a story about it in "Lies of Omission.")
