Adam Schiff wants Big Tech to snitch on you and censor you.

Washington Times: Schiff suggests Google, YouTube and Twitter notify users who engaged with coronavirus misinformation.

Rep. Adam B. Schiff has asked Google, YouTube and Twitter to consider following Facebook protocol in alerting users who interacted on their platforms with misinformation involving the coronavirus pandemic.

The congressman’s office released letters Thursday that Mr. Schiff, the chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, wrote to the heads of the companies this week.

Citing the presence of coronavirus-related misinformation on their platforms, Mr. Schiff suggested the companies adopt a practice similar to Facebook and proactively notify users who engaged on their platforms with harmful medical content involving the continuing outbreak.
[.]
“Though the best protection is removing or downgrading harmful content before users engage with it, that is not always possible,” Mr. Schiff wrote in the letters.
[.]
“I recognize the complex challenges that misinformation presents to online platforms,” Mr. Schiff added. “As we all grapple with this unprecedented health situation, I hope you will consider this suggestion for keeping users better informed.”

The letters were dated Wednesday and sent to Sundar Pichai, the chief executive officer of Google’s parent company Alphabet, as well as YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki and Twitter CEO Jason Dorsey.

When I read the LARGE lettered sentence from Schiff, am I the only one who pictures a WWII High-Ranking, Overachieving German Officer puffing away at a cigarette he is tightly holding between his thumb and forefinger, saying:

"I hope you vill conzider theez suggestion for keeping uz better invormed !"

Social Media has been censoring users for years. Soon, Social Media will experience the very same from the likes of Adam Schiff.

Big Tech...still think Liberals are your best friend? You silly soy-boy-girl-ettes.

"WE" (aka the Media, but it won't) should be demanding answers from Adam Schiff, and his relationship with DEM donor-alleged meth injector Ed Buck.

Maybe we should demand answers from Schiff and his knowledge about Jeffrey Epstein. They look comfortable, don't they?

Time for Schiff to answer questions instead of asking them.

Elon Musk: "Shelter-in-place is fascist."

Market Watch: Tesla's Musk doubles down against coronavirus restrictions, calling it fascism.

Elon Musk reiterated his criticism of ongoing shelter-in-place orders across the U.S., calling it an "infringement of people's rights" and saying that telling people they cannot leave their homes is "fascist, this is not democratic. Give people back their (expletive) freedom." [.] "It's outrage" that will cause "great harm" not just to Tesla but other companies and suppliers, Musk said in a call with analysts late Wednesday. While many will weather the storm, there are many small companies that will not, Musk said.

Tim Walz unleashes his inner-Mussolini. Extends "Shelter" to May 18; lets children die.

Timmy Mussolini

Bring Me The News: Walz extends Stay at Home order till May 18.

Gov. Tim Walz has confirmed that Minnesota's Stay at Home order will continue for a further two weeks, extending it until May 18.

The governor announced his decision at a Thursday press conference, but with it comes some changes that will allow all Minnesota's retail businesses and other non-critical businesses to operate curbside operations.

Until now, it's has been retailers selling essential items such as food, alcohol and building materials that have been allowed to stay open, a move that has predominantly benefited larger stores.

Alpha News: Walz Covid Response lets children die (my headline interpretation, not Alpha).

In the wake of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s ban on elective procedures, doctors have been forced to delay life changing operations for sick children.

Normally, surgeries to fix partially obstructed arteries, remove some kinds of cancerous tumors or excise an infected gallbladder occur on a daily basis in Minnesota’s prestigious hospitals like the Mayo Clinic. However, since Walz banned so-called non essential procedures amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors have been forced to use nonsurgical techniques in lieu of otherwise straightforward operations, says the Star Tribune (ST). This has put some patients at risk of lifelong injury.

Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare in St. Paul works with kids suffering from complex health problems. This one hospital alone has been forced to cancel over 10,000 operations as Walz seeks to trade routine medical care for increased coronavirus testing capacity.

Dr. Tenner Guillaume who works at Gillette told the ST that while some non essential surgeries can be safely delayed, postponing other procedures may have lifelong health impacts on the children under his care.

Walz is just carrying out orders dictated to him by Big Liberal Politburo. Why, during this shutdown, can I buy T-shirts at Wal Mart but not the Indie store on Main Street? WTF difference does it make?

Would Walz like to decide who lives and dies during his continuing "Lockdown"? Hell talk big and loud about how much he cares about "everyone." He's beholden to the academic and political institutions and their whims and attempts at social engineering.

If you're not part of The Walz Club...you're a rock and a cow.

The Washington Times: Get Flynn to lie.

Bombshell documents unsealed late Wednesday revealed that top FBI officials viewed the goal of interviewing former national security adviser Michael Flynn in 2017 as to “get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired.”

A handwritten note included in the documents disclosed that agents wanted to get Flynn to “admit breaking the Logan Act,” which restricts communication between private citizens and foreign governments, and catch him in a lie.

It is not immediately clear who authored the note, but Fox News reported it was written by former FBI general counsel James A. Baker.

Mrs. Pritzker, wife of Illinois Gov. "J.B." Pritzker

Breitbart: Illinois Gov. Pritzker’s Billionaire Wife Reportedly Skips Out on State’s Lockdown Orders.

M.K. Pritzker, the billionaire wife of Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D), is reportedly skipping out on her husband’s stringent lockdown orders, jetting off to their $12.1 million equestrian estate in South Florida — a state that has refused to implement what Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) described as “draconian” measures as a response to the coronavirus pandemic.

While Pritzker finds himself in the middle of a legal battle over his extension of the his lockdown order, extending it until May 30 and promoting his All-in Illinois initiative, his wife is nowhere to be seen, at least in the Prairie State.

According to Patch, first lady M.K. Pritzker is staying at the couple’s $12.1 million estate in Florida, as the governor has largely refrained from mentioning his wife while fielding questions regarding his own well-being[.]

NY Gov. Cuomo wishes he'd had a bugle to blow in December.

The Guardian (via MSN): Andrew Cuomo wishes he 'blew the bugle' on coronavirus earlier.

New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, has said he wishes he had “blown the bugle” about Covid-19 earlier.
[.]
“When we heard in December that China had a virus problem,” he said, “and China said basically, ‘It was under control, don’t worry,’ we should’ve worried.

“When China says, ‘Don’t worry, I have a fire in my backyard,’ you don’t hang up the phone and go back to sleep, right? You get out of your house and you walk two houses over to make sure I have the fire under control. Where was every other country walking out of their home to make sure China had it under control?”

Cuomo added: “I wish someone stood up and blew the bugle. And if no one was going to blow the bugle, I would feel much better if I was a bugle blower last December and January ... I would feel better sitting here today saying, ‘I blew the bugle about Wuhan province in January.’ I can’t say that.”

Typical Liberal...do nothing proactive. Wait until chaos hits then be reactive.

Cuomo didn't have any foresight into taking any action on his own? He had to wait to be told? Why did he believe China's "don't worry"? Why did he believe "China had it under control"?

What if he had been "told" or warned to "do something" in December? Do you think Cuomo and NYC Mayor Kaiser Wilhelm would have taken any steps to protect the public? Would they have canceled the Times Square New Year's Eve Countdown? Not for a second - - - too much revenue, too much political backlash.

What do you think the reaction would have been had President Trump cautioned Cuomo and Wilhelm to cancel New Year's Eve in Times Square? Do you think they would have listened to him? I don't. They would have told him to "butt out", "don't be telling New York what it should or shouldn't be doing."

So Cuomo knew "something" was up in December yet did nothing to protect the people of his state. Sounds like he heard about a fire in China, hung up the phone and went back to sleep.

Now, he wishes he'd had a bugle to blow. I'm sure many New Yorkers are quite happy to today tell Cuomo what he can blow.

Washington Examiner: Cuomo's fourth term.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo is set to cruise into a fourth four-year term as governor of New York, a feat no Democrat has ever accomplished in the state.

I have a terribly low supply of sympathy for people who continue to cut themselves and then whine that they're bleeding and why won't someone help me?

If Cuomo and Wilhelm smelled smoke and suspected a fire, and did nothing about it - which is what they did - it's no surprise now that both are blaming Trump and the federal government for not acting sooner.

Kaiser Wilhelm was telling people in March to still go out on the town.

This is the standard operating procedure for Liberals: BLAME OTHERS FOR THEIR FAILURES.

New York, you're going to put Cuomo in office for another four years? Please don't whine to the rest of the country as you slide further into the depths of madness. I can't garner much sympathy for people who continue sitting in filthy, dirty bathwater and don't have the common sense to get out of the tub on their own.

Consider this a Bugle Blowing Warning Alert.

You Tube has removed the video featuring Doctors Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi. Both appeared earlier tonight on FOX News' Laura Ingraham. At the end of the program Ingraham announced she just learned You Tube removed their video.

The doctors felt, based on actual data - (DATA?!?!? Oh noooo....and data contrary to the 'WE BOW TO FAUCI PRO-CHINA VIRUS WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE CROWD') - that Covid-19 didn't justify the massive economic shutdown and the fallout from it.

A judge has ruled that a Virginia gun range must be allowed to open to customers despite a statewide executive order requiring nonessential businesses to close to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

The order issued Monday by Lynchburg Circuit Judge F. Patrick Yeatts says federal and state protections on the right to bear arms outweigh any emergency authority held by Gov. Ralph Northam to order the gun range closed.

The SafeSide gun range in Lynchburg filed the lawsuit challenging the governor’s executive order, along with Gun owners of America, the Virginia Citizens Defense League and the Association of Virginia Gun Ranges.

Is Stockholm close to herd immunity?

Daily Mail: Lockdown-free Stockholm 'could achieve herd immunity in May': Claim by Swedish ambassador as she reveals 30% of the city's population already have immunity.

Sweden, whose softer approach to combating coronavirus has gained attention across the world, could have achieved herd immunity in its capital Stockholm by May, the country's ambassador to the US has claimed.

Karin Ulrika Olofsdotter told the US's National Public Radio (NPR) that 'about 30 per cent of people in Stockholm have reached a level of immunity.' 

Sweden has now reported 18,926 coronavirus cases, with 2,274 deaths.

On Monday, 286 new cases and 80 deaths were announced, down from 463 cases yesterday, although there were just two deaths on Sunday. 

Ms Olofsdotter added: 'We could reach herd immunity in the capital as early as next month.'
[.]
Sweden's national board of health looked at 1,700 cause of death certificates to get a better idea of deaths related to Covid-19.

Their statistics show that 90 per cent of those who died were over 70 and half were over 86, with just one per cent under 50.

Most of those who died had one or more risk factors, including: high blood pressure (79.6 per cent of cases); cardiovascular disease (48.5 per cent of cases); diabetes (29 per cent of cases); lung disease (14.6 per cent).

However, as many as 14.4 per cent of those who died did not have any of the above risk factors.

The Swedish approach has received criticism both domestically and internationally as its death toll has leapt much higher than its Nordic neighbours, which have all instituted more restrictive containment measures.

Norway did not report any cases on Monday, while Denmark reported 123, with five new deaths. 

Sweden's top disease expert, Anders Tegnell, is the expert who has led the country's herd immunity approach.

Earlier this month, he told the Mail On Sunday that he believed Britain's lockdown had gone too far.

Bill Gates Shills for China. "They missed some things."

Breitbart: Gates: Criticism of China Coronavirus Deception a ‘Distraction’.

During an interview that aired on Sunday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS,”  Microsoft co-founder and co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Bill Gates argued against a focus on China for allegations it mishandled the early stages of the coronavirus breakout and could have act early to have prevented the global pandemic.

Gates said it was not timely and it was also a “distraction.”

“I don’t think that’s a timely thing because it doesn’t affect how we act today,” Gates said. “You know, China did a lot of things right at the beginning, like any country where a virus first shows up. They can look back and say they missed some things.["]

 "[China] missed some things..."? It's like Gates is pulling an Ilhan Omar, "Some people did something."

China lied to the world about the timeline of the Coronavirus and, "they missed some things," is how Gates describes it? I guess it's not like rebooting a country would work. Turn China Off and On again? Will that fix things, Bill?

In other Gates-related news (I know he exited MS long ago), the April 14 Win Patch fixed a bunch of vulnerable stuff. Forbes:

The April 14 Patch Tuesday updates included fixes for a total of 133 vulnerabilities, including seven critical security flaws in Windows 10.

Former Clinton adviser calls on Biden to withdraw over assault allegations.

The Fun and Games has barely begun!

FOX News (right click on link and open in new window): Former Clinton adviser calls on Biden to withdraw over assault allegations. 

Peter Dauo, a political activist and one-time fierce Hillary Clinton backer, urged former Vice President Joe Biden to end his presidential bid over new developments in the sexual assault allegation against him.

Dauo, who worked for Clinton during her first presidential bid and was a prominent defender of her in the 2016 cycle, took to Twitter Saturday morning to say "Biden should withdraw."

In a "difficult" Twitter thread, Daou said the new information emerging in support of Tara Reade's sexual assault allegation against Biden prompted his stance.

"Credible rape accusations are disqualifying or we have NO moral standards," Daou wrote.

While Daou was a major Clinton booster in 2016, he shifted this cycle to back one-time Clinton opponent, Bernie Sanders.

Dauo suggests Democrats should reboot the presidential primary.

"Moral Standards"...in the Democrat Party? How can you have what doesn't exist?

Biden should withdraw from the race? Hmmmmm....I wonder who the DNC has in mind to replace him?

CNN shelved Larry King video incriminating Joe Biden sexual assault for years.

Breitbart: Someone Else Found CNN’s Evidence Supporting Tara Reade’s Assault Allegation Against Biden.

Far-left CNN was sitting on video that supports Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden, and someone else found it.

Yep, CNNLOL had the goods for what will surely be one of the biggest stories of the 2020 presidential campaign, a crucial piece of evidence that backs up Reade’s sexual assault allegation against the presumptive Democrat nominee, and to its everlasting shame, CNNLOL was not the outlet that broke the bombshell.
[.]
So this seems like a good time to again remind everyone of the nine ways Reade’s allegation is not only much more credible than Blasey Ford’s, but objectively credible no matter how you look at it:

    Reade can prove she knew and worked with Biden in 1993, the time in question.
    Reade is welcoming investigative reporters to scrutinize her story, whereas Blasey Ford refused to do anything other than hide behind her attorneys.
    Reade has two living witnesses whom she told of the alleged assault at the time, both of whom confirm she told them about it.
    Investigative reporter Rich McHugh found a third person, a person who worked under Reade at the time, who confirmed that Reade disappeared from Biden’s Senate office around the time the alleged assault occurred. This fits perfectly with Reade’s allegation of the retribution she faced.
    McHugh found a fourth person Reade told about the event some 15 years ago.
    Joe Biden has a long and very disturbing history of unwanted touching, kissing, and nuzzling — we have video after video after video of him behaving this way in full view of the public — even with children, so one can only imagine how he behaves when no one is looking.
    Reade said she filed an official complaint against Biden at the time. McHugh says if that complaint exists, it is locked up with Biden’s papers at the University of Delaware, and those papers are locked up forever.
    Reade filed an official police report against Biden last week and did so under penalty of prison if she’s exposed as a liar.
    Reade is a lifelong Democrat.

And now, we can add a number ten: video from 1993 of Reade’s obviously desperate and concerned mother calling into a national talk show looking for help for the problems her daughter is having with a “prominent senator.”

Joe won't be the DEM presidential candidate. If this story doesn't finish his campaign, his dementia and total lack of stamina will.

New Jersey man wearing N95 mask passes out while driving. Wrecks car, snaps telephone pole. (♬♬... And he had fun fun fun til the wifey took his T-Bird Away...♬♬)

People: Man Wearing N95 Mask Passes Out While Driving Car.

A New Jersey man passed out and crashed into a telephone pole this week, and police believe the accident could have been avoided if he hadn’t worn an N95 mask while driving.
[.]
...wearing an N95 mask too long can cause someone to inadvertently restrict their oxygen — which is what they believed happened to a man who crashed his car on Thursday.
[.]
[The driver's] ruby red vehicle with a badly damaged front end. An additional photo from the scene showed a telephone pole snapped at its base.

The driver was transported to the hospital for a “complaint of pain” and he sustained no life-threatening injuries, the department said.

According to the California Department of Public Health, N95 respirators may make breathing more difficult and can lead to increased breathing and heart rates.

Driving while wearing an N-95 mask is dangerous. You should immediately drop everything you're doing and get the evaluation of a medical professional on whether or not you should wear one in the car, especially if driving alone like the guy in the story.

..."a complaint of pain." I think snapping a telephone pole with your car may contribute to that.

Tara Reade, the accuser, worked in Biden's Senate office in 1993, when he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He's now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Reade said that an Aug. 11, 1993, episode of Larry King Live on CNN shows her mother calling in to the show and referencing her allegations, which could corroborate some of her claims.

In the episode, first reported by the Intercept and video uncovered by the conservative Media Research Center, a woman from San Luis Obispo, California, called in to the show.

Tara Reade background 

The entire Cuomo Family is Mentally Ill. Cristina Cuomo bathes in Clorox.

Daily Mail: Chris Cuomo's wife Cristina is mocked for saying she bathed in CLOROX to treat coronavirus.

The wife of CNN host Chris Cuomo is being criticized after revealing on her lifestyle blog that she poured half a cup of Clorox in her bath twice a week to help cure her coronavirus.

Magazine editor Cristina Cuomo shared that the bleach is ‘technically salt’ and she used it to ‘combat the radiation and metals in my system’, in direct contrast to warnings given by Clorox that contact with skin should be avoided.
[.]
'Household bleach is not chlorine.'

Social media users immediately hit back at Cristina’s recommendation, branding it ‘stupidity’ and highlighting that bleach is not ‘technically salt’.

‘My god, Chris Cuomo’s wife, Cristina, may be one of the dumbest people alive,’ one wrote.

‘She BATHED IN CLOROX to treat Coronavirus. She calls Clorox, “sodium chloride” which is technically salt. In reality, Clorox is sodium hypochlorite, Note: she graduated from Cornell...’
[.]
‘Cristina Cuomo has now stealth edited her piece to claim that Clorox is “technically salt,"’ they said.

‘It’s absolutely is not, and unless a doctor prescribed a bleach bath for an extreme skin infection, it definitely compromises your body’s natural immune defenses.’
[.]
The advice flies in the face of warnings given by Clorox themselves, who say that direct skin contact should always be avoided.

The company lists specific advice about bathing in the bleach on its website stating: ‘Clorox® Regular Bleach2 is NOT recommended for personal hygiene of any kind–consumers should always avoid direct skin and eye contacts with both undiluted bleach, as well as prolonged contact with the various bleach solutions we recommend for household cleaning and laundry.’

It adds that customers may be familiar with advice to use bleach to treat water for consumption in an emergency but highlights that this ratio is significantly smaller, with only 1/8 teaspoon bleach needed per gallon of clear water.

The half cup recommended in Cuomo’s post is about 120 times more chlorine than is necessary to sterilize water out in the wild to drink.
‘Please do not let an influencer influence you to bathe in Clorox,’ warned one Twitter user.

‘Stupidity is also an epidemic!'

Isn't Twitter censoring its users who are advocating for "unproven medical advice in the age of the Coronavirus"? Is her Twatter account suspended...yet?

ADDED: Oh...it was her lifestyle blog where Mrs. Stupid wrote about bathing in Clorox, not her Twatter account. I made an oops.

Now is the perfect time for an AntiFa Rally!

And let's just watch how all the governors and mayors handle and respond to it.

Let's go, AntiFa...you're not afraid of anything, are you? Why so quiet?

As far as states bailing out other failing states; no - this is not how it's done. The hypocrisy of The Left...one minute they'll scream about the Sovereignty of States' Rights. The next minute, they cry for More Federalism Big Nanny Government.

It's not up to Texas or Kansas or Oklahoma or any other state to bail out the failed fiduciary fiascos of New York, California, Washington or any other state.

I think Pelosi has been eating too much Tide-Pod ice cream from her $24,000 freezer.

Bitter Hillary advises about poisoning yourself.

Way to go, Fredo  !

Breitbart: Chris Cuomo Knew He Had COVID-19, Still Risked Infecting Others by Violating Quarantine.

...and did I mention Chris Cuomo’s wife eventually tested positive for the coronavirus?

Yeah, she did.

Sadly, Cuomo’s 14-year-old son just tested positive, which is heartbreaking news. That kid’s in for a very rough time.

So not only was potential super-spreader Cuomo not in his basement on Easter Day, not only was he outside  his home while he knew he was contagious… Potential super-spreader Chris Cuomo wasn’t even at home.

Nope, on Easter Day, the infectious Cuomo took a 30 minute drive — with his wife, kids, and another woman — from his Southampton home to property he’s developing in East Hampton.

Does anyone know of any other infected American who was out gallivanting while he knew he was contagious with the coronavirus?

Does anyone know of any other infected New Yorker who was out gallivanting in New York, in a state that just so happens to be the most tragic hot spot in all the world?

I know of no one who has done or would do such a thing… Other than Chris Cuomo, other than New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s little brother.

This is monstrous behavior on Chris Cuomo’s part, and the fact the rest of the establishment media are allowing him to not only get away with it (as they demonize everyday protesters), but allowing CNN to stage fake news events around it, tells you just how corrupt and lost the media truly are.

And here’s the other thing…

This is the only quarantine violation of Cuomo’s that we know of. This was the time the potential super-spreader was caught.

How many other times did Cuomo run around somewhere while knowing he was infected? Where did he go? Who did he come in contact with?

Ahhhhhhh...White, Liberal, Elitist Privilege. Fredo, Fredo...what have you done?

Wishing the best of recovery to his wife and son.

O'Rourke meltdown over immigration halt. Who will feed King BOB?

@ (real Twitter but fake first name) BetoORourke

Townhall: Beto Had a Total Meltdown Over Trump's Decision to Temporarily Halt Immigration.

Late Monday night President Donald Trump tweeted that he would be halting immigration to the United States during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. He expanded on that decision during Tuesday's White House Coronavirus Task Force briefing, saying immigration will be suspended for the next 60 days.

Failed presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke (D) took to Twitter to criticize the president's decision. Beto made the claim that Trump is "attempt[ing] to distract us from his total mismanagement" of the Wuhan coronavirus.

AI social-distancing enforcement tool. "You will be TRACKED!"

RT: Coronavirus inspires DYSTOPIAN new AI social-distancing enforcement tool (VIDEO).

An AI start-up company has developed a video surveillance system that can tell if we’re abiding by social distancing rules. It’s the latest example of the pandemic inspiring what some might view as sinister technology.
[.]
Californian software developer Landing AI has created a video tool that can be used to ascertain whether people are following social distancing rules.

“Landing AI has developed an AI-enabled social distancing detection tool that can detect if people are keeping a safe distance from each other by analyzing real-time video streams from the camera,” the company chirps, in a blog post about the new software.

Remove your mask and smile for the camera! Big Brother wants a nice, clear image of your facial recognition for their database.

mrc Newsbusters Culture Contributing writer Lindsay Kornick couldn't be more wrong on "The Blacklist" and 2A.

TLDR: BIG SWING and a MISS, by Ms. Lindsay Kornick writing at mrc Newsbusters about "The Blacklist" being, "a liberal show" and that episode 'Gordon Kemp' is, "anti-2A."
-

Read the story AND the COMMENTS. Then come on back for my commentary. Or not, just refer back to the TLDR.😈

-

Last night's "Blacklist" didn't "lecture us about gun issues...through the mouths of criminals." Nor was it a, "grisly attempt at addressing political issues."

I now realize how much time I wasted reading Newsbusters (NB). I used to be a frequent visitor to NB. They lost me as a regular reader long ago when they went full ass-clown conspiratorial advocacy with any notion that didn't fit their very narrow narrative. NB has morphed in a Lunatic Right version of supermarket checkout aisle tabloids. Did Bozell abandon his site and now sits on the porch with Biden debating the best flavors of pudding cups?

Did Kornick pay attention to "The Blacklist" episode? Did she even watch it or is her column based on nothing more than a knee-jerk reaction to a tip sent in by an apoplectic reader, typing in all caps, "DID YOU SEE THE ANTI-SECOND AMENDMENT EPISODE OF 'THE BLACKLIST' LAST NIGHT?"

Kornick obviously hasn't seen the many "Blacklist" episodes where the bad guys are LIBERALS.

The episode is titled, "Gordon Kemp". Is Kornick at all familiar with the program and the character of Raymond Reddington (played by James Spader)? How many seasons or episodes of "The Blacklist" has she really watched? We don't know, she doesn't tell us, but that doesn't mean she can't write about something she's never seen. Sounds like the qualifications someone from The Left would use in justifying their opinion on something of which they are unfamiliar.

The episode "Gordon Kemp" was anything but anti-2A. It was the exact opposite. Kornick couldn't crawl out of her tunnel-vision long enough to see the big picture. Instead, she was Triggered because a character, Gordon Kemp, was the owner of a company that specialized in manufacturing cheaply-made handguns bought by straw-buyers which were then sold to criminals.

Kornick is upset that (spoiler alert) Reddington, using one of Kemp's cheaply made handguns, shoots and kills Kemp at the end of the episode. Reddington is upset because he earlier witnessed an innocent woman with a promising future who was shot to death by a thug using one of Kemp's handguns.

"The Blacklist" 'Gordon Kemp' episode wasn't, (as Kornick and those who commented at NB), just another Hollywood, hour-long anti-2A agenda programming. The circle of irony of the episode escapes them. The darkness of the Reddington character, that has evolved over seven seasons, flies over their collective pea-brain heads.

In a weak attempt to bolster her argument that "The Blacklist" is, (quote) "a liberal show," Kornick refers to a line by "Blacklist" character FBI Detective Ressler who says, "Look, I'm a member of the NRA, and I believe in the Second Amendment, but what you do, pouring more and more weapons into high-crime areas -- that has nothing to do with keeping a well-regulated militia and everything to do with making a buck."  

 - - - - AND? This ties into an anti-2A agenda how? It doesn't. It's not so much taking dialogue out of context, it's misrepresenting the content in an attempt to make an analogy where one doesn't exist. Kornick isn't able - or deliberately won't - follow the logic of a fictional script because in the end, it doesn't make her point.

At best, I'm going to guess, she actually viewed the last ten minutes of the program, that's it. The rest - - - nowhere in her story does she write that she actually watched the program - - - she read about it online and received email from the hypersenstive overreacting crowd.

Yes, by way of 2A, gun makers can manufacture everything from quality firearms to the cheapest 'Saturday Night Specials' favored by criminals. Raise your hand if you're a strong advocate of 2A and you also support straw-buyers who resell to criminals. Anyone? Anyone?

The best comment at Kornick's feeble story is the one asking, "Is this show still on?" Huh - one would think when reading a story that mention's "the April 17 episode", one could reasonably conclude that, yes, this program is still on. My question to the person who wrote that comment is, when you address your parents, do you refer to them as, 'Mom and Dad' or 'Brother and Sister'?

I would have added a comment to Kornick's story, but you have to register, and I'm not going through that BS.

"The Blacklist" is one of the finest hour-long dramas on television. IMO, it's right up there with "The Sopranos".

Considering "The Blacklist" is in its seventh season, now...suddenly...Kornick concludes it's, "a liberal show." I'm guessing the very misinformed and misguided Kornick would also conclude that "The Sopranos" is, "a liberal show."

Kornick concludes her column with this gem:

In response, I’ll answer with how Maya Angelou put it: when people show you who they are, believe them. This is what liberals think of gun-makers, believe that.

Yes, Kornick isn't off the mark, generally, in saying that liberals think gun-makers are bad (although I personally know some Libs who don't think that). It's too bad that that has nothing to do with Friday night's episode of "The Blacklist".

I'd suggest Kornick watch the "Gordon Kemp" episode and that she pay attention to it. If not, heck, maybe her next column will be on the hidden, anti-2A liberal agenda portrayed in all westerns. Those Liberal cowboys didn't pass background checks and buy their guns from an FFL dealer.

Take a glance at Kornick's columns. In almost every article she's Triggered and Offended by fictional programming. This is a good thing. I can't imagine the damage and misinformation she'd inflict if she wrote about non-fictional events. She must be blood-related to Bozell. There's no other way she'd be on the payroll.

I wonder if Kornick has found an anti-2A liberal agenda in "Baby Shark"?

Joe Biden Fake Tweet

If Joe Biden composed his own Tweets...

Bad Spaniels 1; Jack Daniels 0

One is a dog chew toy. The other is a glass bottle of liquor. If you can't tell the difference,
 you should not buy either product, or always buy both.

Tech Dirt: Jack Daniels Gets Chewed Up In Trademark Case Over 'Bad Spaniels' Doggy Chew Toy.

We've seen roughly a zillion trademark disputes and cases in the alcohol industries, but perhaps nothing quite like this. Jack Daniels, the famous liquor company, found itself in a prolonged court battle with VIP Products LLC. At issue? Well, VIP makes a doggy chew toy that is a parody of Jack Daniels' famous whiskey bottle and trade dress.

...while the toy isn't exactly similar to the Jack Daniels bottle, it's a clear homage or parody of it. Parody, of course, has space carved out for it by the First Amendment. While trademark law might lead one to see a problem here, it's the fact that even this commercial product is expressive parody that keeps it from being trademark infringement.

The Jack Daniels folks didn't agree.

So Jack sued.

Back to Tech Dirt:

...the court held that, as a threshold matter, the Rogers test needed to be applied. Under that test, a trademark infringement plaintiff must show that the defendant’s use of the mark either (1) is “not artistically relevant to the underlying work” or (2) “explicitly misleads consumers as to the source or content of the work.”  Id. at 9 (quoting Gordon, 909 F.3d at 265). The Ninth Circuit vacated the district court’s finding of infringement and remanded for a determination, in the first instance, of whether Jack Daniel’s can satisfy either element of the Rogers test.

It seems damn near impossible to imagine any scenario in which Jack Daniels manages to satisfy the Rogers test. And the real question is why it felt any of this expensive litigious adventurism was necessary in the first place.

The short story: Jack lost. Good!

Why the corporate brain trust at Jack decided to move forward with this case is nothing short of mind-boggling. Can the PR/Ad/Legal Team at JD be so unimaginative, humorless and petty?

Could it have been that hard for JD to partner, in some way, with Bad Spaniels for a co-branding promotion - maybe buy a bottle of JD and get a Bad Spaniels chew toy? This is PR and Advertising, not brain surgery.

A Toast and Cheers to Bad Spaniels! Who's a good dog? Who's a good dog?
