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:
There's an App for That
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.

We're the Only Ones Round and Round Enough
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.")

Dummying Down
A Question for All Gungrabbers
How many are you willing to see killed to force your will on everyone? [Watch]
I've been asking it myself for a while.

A Man of la Gente
Con el duro trabajo de los floridanos hemos avanzado mucho desde ese día, pero aún tenemos mucho por hacer y es por eso que he decidido aspirar al Senado de los Estados Unidos. [More]Yeah, well uck-fay oo-yay.

Doppelhogger
My name is David Hogg and I’m not from Parkland, Fla. I first found out about the other David Hogg from my grandfather. He called and asked my parents to turn on the TV because there was a David Hogg who looked similar to me and was close to my age—I’m 16, he’s 17. [More]I never assume a name I find on the internet is the same as the person I am trying to find out more about until I can verify they are. And I've always felt a bit guilty about the very few people who share my name, because I'm sure Google search results have complicated their lives.
We saw a similar situation a while back with a gun dealer being blamed for the actions of a quisling with essentially the same handle.

Counseled Counselors
Persons of Interest
The Department of Homeland Security wants to track the comings and goings of journalists, bloggers and other “media influencers” through a database. [More]Dare I hope...?
What I'm interested in are the economic fascist technowhores who'll win the bid.
I want to find out what they eat for breakfast.
The ernie Chronicles
Fishing without a license... [More]If we let him get away with that, why, who knows what he'll want next?
I do question how anyone can make a claim to freely take game when we're not talking about the primordial state of nature anymore, but managed and stocked ecosystems which require funded resources and custodial care in order to coexist in a modern world with competing interests. I also question making yourself the subject of the hurt -- a "Patton" quote comes to mind.
That said, we could use a few more colorful characters, and if you get passed the initial urge to dismiss "a kook" and go down his rabbithole for a bit, the guy really has amassed an amazing amount of information.
Feel Free to Ask Questions
Not those questions:
Seeking recommendations will result in banishment -- in this case for 30 days.

Proposed Boulder Semi-Auto Ban Repeats Lie Upheld by Faithless Federal Courts
“She added that the proposed ordinance does not strip residents of their Second Amendment rights — which was a fear expressed throughout the public hearing on Thursday — because the Second Amendment doesn’t guarantee the right to an assault rifle.” [More]What options are left after the truth is denied and the ultimatums are issued?
