FBI Veteran Johnathan Buma Arrested on Charges of Leaking Confidential Information as He Attempted International Flight in March 2025.

This is a strange story. I've hit these sites and read their stories reporting this.

Deepnewz.

PBS.

The Guardian.

One India.

Reuters.

Washington Times.

Syracuse News.

The Jeff Bezos Peoples' Republic.

Every single story reads virtually the same copy-paste.

NOT one mentions to where his "international" flight was bound. What destination could it have been? 

What an odd detail not to report. 

I guess his international flight could've been to Anywhere. Strange no one is mentioning it.  

Nobody knows where he was going? Or, everybody knows where he was going?

♬ Where could it be now? 

Where could it be now?  ♫

...Be now?

"We noticed you didn't watch our ad! You vill watch ze ad before you zee the content!"

I can't find a story on this, so I don't know if this is a joke or true. 

If true, advertisers and sponsors will monitor your eye contact confirming you watched their ad before allowing you to view the actual content? And if they see that you didn't maintain eye contact, you'll have to watch it making certain to maintain eye contact? I don't F'ing think so. 

If you're aware of a story substantiating this new and innovative Big Brother Tech experience, drop a comment. This has to be a joke, right?

If true, I have to imagine this will result in a lot of unwatched content. Would you watch an ad where you're being monitored to make sure you view the ad?

Breaking news: Nashville shooter's manifesto can't be released because, "copyright", declares judge.

ABC News (July 5, 2024): NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Judge rules Nashville school shooter's writings can't be released and that victims' families have copyright.

Judge rules Nashville school shooter's writings can't be released and that victims' families have copyright.

^ That's it, the entire ABC story. 

Times Free Press (July 5, 2024): Judge says Nashville school shooter's writings can't be released as victims' families have copyright.

Chancery Court Judge I'Ashea Myles found that The Covenant School children and parents hold the copyright to any writings or other works created by shooter Audrey Hale, a former student who was killed by police. Hale's parents inherited the works and then transferred ownership to the families.

Myles ruled that "the original writings, journals, art, photos and videos created by Hale" are subject to an exception to the Tennessee Public Records Act created by the federal Copyright Act.

Daily Signal: Trans Nashville Shooter Allegedly Wrote Scathingly About Christians, Fantasized About ‘Imaginary Penis’.

Newly released pages purportedly from the Nashville Covenant School shooter’s manifesto indicate that the shooter was strongly fixated on gender ideology and deeply held anger against Christianity.
[.]
[...] shooter Audrey Hale condemns her parents, harshly criticizes Christians, and fantasizes about her “imaginary penis.” The pages come after months of stonewalling from authorities, who refused to confirm or deny a previous set of manifesto pages commentator Steven Crowder released in November.

I'Ashea L. Myles profile.

This manifesto would've been released and published in a New York second had the shooter been a white male, targeted a different religion or was anti-trans/"transphobic".

Social Media Meltdown over KFC ad showing only black people eating chicken without utensils!

VIBE (on Yahoo): Black Twitter Calls Out KFC’s Latest Campaign As “Racially Tone Deaf”.

Black Twitter has deemed Kentucky Fried Chicken’s latest campaign “racially tone deaf.”

On Thursday (Aug. 24), KFC Canada’s Director of Marketing, Azim Akhtar, revealed their ad on X/Twitter. He uploaded three pictures of the new advertisement featuring an all-Black cast of people licking their fingers.

“Sorry Utensils, It’s Finger Lickin’ Good,” Akhtar typed. “Latest campaign, I couldn’t be more proud!!” Black Twitter caught wind of the promotion and labeled the billboards racist. Some people questioned the intention behind casting all-Black actors for the ad, when everyone enjoys fried chicken.

“1. So [white] people don’t lick their fingers? 2. We still not eating this (in this country),” one social media user xweeted. “3. I just know it’s a Black person on the creative team like, ‘I knew this wasn’t a good idea, but they don’t listen to me, so I just clock in…do my work…[and] go home.'”
[.]
KFC Canada’s creative director responded to the backlash on Friday (Aug. 25), apologizing for “not being more thoughtful.” “My earlier post didn’t capture the full diversity of our latest campaign, and I personally apologize for not being more thoughtful in my excitement to share the campaign and only sharing certain photos,” he xweeted. “Here is the 60-second spot that is more representative of Canada’s diversity and our creative.”

However, that apology wasn’t enough for some. “You being the Director of Marketing,” another person expressed. “Sharing multiple gigantic billboards with black folks eating fried chicken licking their fingers is simply not it. No matter how diverse you feel this ad is.”

WATTPoulty: Sorry, utensils: KFC Canada’s chicken doesn’t need you.

Set to the instantly recognizable Air Supply’s “All Out of Love,” the campaign showcases people eating some of the brand’s most popular food by hand and issues a heartfelt apology to the abandoned spoons and forks.
[.]
“You can’t help but go all in and dig in, no utensils needed, with food so good you can’t help but lick your fingers.”

ERRRMMAAAGAAWWWWD! People in an ad who are black eating chicken without using utensils? When do the International Criminal Court Trials start at The Hague?

One: I don't know what Black Twitter is. I'm guessing Twitter accounts written by black people or people who identify as black. 

Two: You've already lost me as a potential consumer on whatever your message is if you're using Air Supply's "All Out of Love." Were the musical rights to "Seasons In The Sun" unavailable? I never liked "All Out of Love". It's a lame song for cucks or incels. Fucking Air Supply. 🤣 

Here's the LINK, (I'll never run any Air Supply song on this blog) to the "All Out of Love" apology ad, with a vibrant mix and diversity of people eating chiggun but not using utensils. The Horror! The Obscenity of it All. 

Furor over Juneteenth merchandise. Only Christian holidays can be commercialized.

NY Amsterdam News (Archived): Tone deaf corporate America blasted for trying to ‘own Juneteenth’.

Social media users and others have lashed out at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis for offering a pre-packaged watermelon salad as part of its Juneteenth menu.

The museum circulated a photo of the salad as it invited the public to its Juneteenth celebration.

“This is ridiculous and a mockery of Juneteenth,” Twitter user @WishYaHadAlexis wrote. “I’ve never had a watermelon salad or even heard of it. SMH.”

Another Twitter user, @MajorFactor2, said, “There can’t possibly be any Black folks in these boardrooms when decisions like this are being made.” ("Black folks" ????? - DD)

Initially, museum officials attempted to justify the offensive gaffe by noting that the watermelon salad has remained a staple in their food court’s manager’s family’s Juneteenth celebration.

Later, they released a statement apologizing.

“As a museum, we apologize and acknowledge the negative impact that stereotypes have on communities of color,” officials wrote. “The salad has been removed from the menu.

Joe Rogan moving to Spotify, had enough of You Tube.

The comedian’s landmark shift away from the Google-owned streaming service could signal the start of a wave of creators moving away from the site – as it bafflingly attempts to pander to legacy media.

... it is perhaps not surprising that Spotify have just wooed the former Fear Factor presenter away from YouTube after writing him a cheque for a rumoured $100 million.

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"?

Coronavirus Free-For-All! U.S isn't the next Italy. Is Covid-19 Bio-Terrorism? Ten days of darkness April Fools Day to April 10? Let's Panic More! Anthrax-Madhouse.

The panic, the frenzy, some conspiracies, the Diamond Princess, the questions, the deaths from the flu and...Teh Antrax. Who dis Covid-19?

The U.S. is not Italy.

The American Council on Science and Health (March 16, 2020): Coronavirus: U.S. Is Not the Next Italy.

[The] false narrative is that the United States is the "next Italy," by which people (many of whom are Trump's detractors) claim that the President's mistakes will lead to millions of infections and possibly millions of deaths. To bolster their case, they point to Italy, an advanced nation whose healthcare system was overwhelmed by patients with COVID-19. The latest figures show nearly 28,000 infections and 2,158 deaths, for a case-fatality rate of 7.7%. That's the worst in the world, even far worse than China and Iran.

So, is Italy our future? Almost certainly not. To see why, the following is a figure depicting case-fatality rates by country for those reporting at least 500 confirmed cases and one death.

Please see the graph at the link and the rest of the story.

Coronavirus, a Bio-Terroism agent?

The Times of Israel (February 23, 2020): CoVid 19: the great Coronavirus conspiracy – or are we being duped?

[...] compared to SARs, Co-Vid 19 is a wimp. But it’s not benign.
[.]
Bio-Terrorist Threat – Or Natural Disaster?
[.]
...why would you create a bug with merely a 3% case-fatality rate? Frankly, if it were me, I’d go for Hanta-virus – it’s got a case-fatality of 36% – and you don’t need crop dusters or drones. It’s spread by rats. You don’t even need a lab to engineer it – it already exists.

In fact, why would I go to the bother and expense of genetically engineering any bio-terrorist agent? You can cause a heck of a lot of havoc by leaving your mayonnaise open for 24 hours and putting some Salmonella-infected sandwiches in your local cafeteria.

It looks just like a Christmas decoration or tree ornament, doesn't it?

The seasonal "Flu" by the numbers.

Health.com: This Is How Many People Die From the Flu Each Year, According to the CDC.

Flu season is hitting its stride right now in the US. So far, the CDC has estimated (based on weekly influenza surveillance data) that at least 12,000 people have died from influenza between Oct. 1, 2019 through Feb. 1, 2020, and the number of deaths may be as high as 30,000.

The CDC also estimates that up to 31 million Americans have caught the flu this season, with 210,000 to 370,000 flu sufferers hospitalized because of the virus.

You must have noticed the hypocrisy of the number of Democrat Governors and Mayors who are drooling to enforce quarantines and government mandated self-isolation periods, shelter-in-place and curfews. These are the same DEM Govs and Mayors who, for years, refused to co-operate with ICE, instead making their states and cities sanctuaries and safe-havens for illegals. Now they want to put us in CAGES !

DEM Mayors and Governors who, for decades, looked the other way while their streets, subways, public transit, parks and sidewalks overflowed with human (and animal) waste, an increasing amount of crime and an increasing decay of inner-city life.

"Oh - there's a NEW pandemic, you say? And you say FREE FEDERAL MONEY is available? Yeah, give us that money and we'll start sanitizing the public handrails with Clorox Anti-Bacterial Wipes." This...cleanliness...never occurred to them before. Well, not until the rest of the country kicked in to help pay for it.

Avoid restaurants, bars and other public places. Are you ready for an unemployment rate of 10% or, as some predict, 20%?

Opt for home food delivery instead of going to the supermarket? So, a delivery driver who may have made ten, fifteen, twenty or more visits to other places before stopping at our house is safer - how? AYFKM?

On the upside, I saw gasoline priced at $1.97/gallon today!

Bring on Anthrax!

The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street:

"Maple Street, U.S.A., late summer. A tree-lined little world of front porch gliders, barbecues, the laughter of children, and the bell of an ice cream vendor. At the sound of the roar and the flash of light, it will be precisely 6:43 P.M. on Maple Street...This is Maple Street on a late Saturday afternoon. Maple Street in the last calm and reflective moment - before the monsters came."

Closing narration:
"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices...to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill...and suspicion can destroy...and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own – for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone."

Compared to Coronavirus that was first reported on December 31, with 213 deaths in total until January 31. Based on last years statistics, 5,208 people have died of the common flu in that same time period.

Age of presidential candidates is only an issue if you're not a DEM.

Interchangeable, aged, DEM presidential candidates.

2020 DEM candidates and their current age:

Joe Biden, born on November 20, 1942 - (age 77)
Bernie Sanders, born on September 8, 1941 - (age 78)
Michael Rubens Bloomberg, born on February 14, 1942 - (age 78)
Elizabeth Warren, born on June 22, 1949 - (age 70) (can we believe her considering her past fictional tales 'o her life?)
* Ages and date of birth via Wiki (for all candidates), footnotes referenced at Wiki.

In the 2008 presidential race, the age of RINO John McCain, born on August 29, 1936, was a "widespread concern". DEMS pointed out his age as often as possible. 

Wikipedia: 2008 presidential race age issue:

Similar to Senator Bob Dole's 1996 presidential campaign, one of the more widely leveled charges against McCain was the issue of his age—he turned 72 in August and there was widespread concern about the idea of electing a man who would be 80 years old if he completed two full terms in office[.]

With three 2020 DEM presidential candidates, there is no "widespread concern" over the their age. The DEMS are unconcerned over three of theirs on the doorstep of being 80. The media rarely mentions it either.

President Donald Trump, born June 14, 1946, is a youthful and energetic age 73.

Interchangeable, aged, DEM presidential candidates.

Take your pick. Bernie, Joe, Lil' Mike.

Mr. Peanut's death postponed due to Kobe Bryant.

Mr. Peanut

Collider: Mr. Peanut’s Death Was Inspired by ‘Avengers: Endgame’.

The plan was that Mr. Peanut’s funeral would be broadcast in a Super Bowl commercial during the third quarter of the big game, but the commercial and all promotional content has been paused indefinitely following the real-life death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant on Sunday.
[.]
Speaking with MSN before the commercial was pulled, Group Creative Director at Planters’ agency VaynerMedia [sic], Mike Pierantozzi, said the idea to kill off Mr. Peanut was inspired by Tony Stark’s death in Avengers: Endgame. No, really:

    “We started talking about how the internet treats when someone dies — specifically, we were thinking about fictional characters, [like when] Iron Man died. When Iron Man died, we saw an incredible reaction on Twitter and on social media. It’s such a strange phenomenon.”
[.]
They went the somber route and took Mr. Peanut’s death incredibly seriously, hyping up his “funeral” that would be broadcast during the Super Bowl. The idea backfired, as we now know, and it’ll be curious to see if and when this “commercial” sees the light of day.

“We wanted you to know that we are saddened by this weekend’s news and Planters has paused all campaign activities, including paid media, and will evaluate next steps through a lens of sensitivity to those impacted by this tragedy,” a spokesperson for Planters reportedly said.

Maybe brands shouldn’t use death as a way to advertise their content? Just a thought.

The Death of Mr. Peanut Super Bowl ad which won't air due to the death of Kobe Bryant:
 

I'm undecided on which is the more stupid move, it's a coin toss. The ad agency so creatively bankrupt that they steal borrow a narrative as old as time itself with their best pitch being killing an iconic Brand character, or the company making the product that approves the killing of its iconic Brand character.

How hard is it to sell the Planter's brand?

A head's-up to Lucky the Leprechaun, Tony Tiger, the Trix rabbit, Mr. Clean and other Brand Characters out there. Beware if your employer hires VaynerMedia as their PR/Ad Reps.

"Eat the Babies" was a prank because LaRouche Tweet says "it was us."

Above: Lyndon LaRouche PAC Twitter

So much for investigative journalism. Because the LaDouche LaRouche PAC Tweets "it was us ", some sites hopped on the bandwagon that the lady at the Cortez townhall who said, "Eat the babies", was prank.

This is all it takes to debunk something? Some Tweet from a Twitter account "claims responsibility" and boom - we have the Truth. What if ISIS had claimed responsibility for the, "We need to eat babies," lady? Would the MSM have reported it as breathlessly and truthfully as they report this alleged fact attributed to the LaDouchers? How do we know the LaDouchers "it was us" is accurate or factual? Because they said so?

Admittedly, "'Eat the babies' lady" is so far-fetched that it should be something instantly recognized as being questionable. With social media being falsely relied upon as a foundation for accuracy in reporting news, the blur between what is actual, and what isn't, is no longer easily distinguished. Because The Left has gone beyond the Lunatic Fringe, there is no longer room in doubting what they say or do.

The Virginia girl who claimed that three white boys held her down and cut her dreadlocks was swallowed by the media hook, line and sinker. When first reported, the media swung into their Oh The Humanity mode. Blatant, inexcusable racism, it was for these white boys to forcefully cut the dreadlocks of a black girl. We can place this despicable act on the shoulders of our Racist President.

Except, the dreadlock-cutting story was false. A complete and total lie.

Wiki: Lyndon LaRouche, Jr.

Today's Stamford Advocate was eager in reporting that the outburst from "Eat the babies" lady was staged by a Pro-Trump group.

The fine folks at LaRouche are a "pro-Trump group." Who knew? They threw their whole-hearted support to DEM Martin O'Malley in 2016. Yeah, a bunch of pro-Tumpers at the LaDouche organization. Uh-huh...

I don't have any issue with the LaDouche crowd, but their political beliefs - to me - falls somewhere between the Dennis Kucinich UFO crowd and those who say they witnessed firsthand Bigfoot and to prove it, they produce a blurry picture of a distant figure lurking around some trees. Nice potato-cam you have there. Time for an upgrade.

You can give Lyndon LaRouche's politics whatever pretend spin you want, but to define them as Republican is no different than stating that Michael Moore is anorexic.

Liberals have been telling us for decades that just because something lacks factual basis doesn't mean it's not true. Applying that same standard to "Eat the babies" lady allows us to interpret her words as nothing other than a sincere and factual statement.

I'm the King of England and I successfully built the world's bestest quantum computer in my garage last night. How do you know this is true? Well - I just wrote that I did.

Did you know that Lyndon LaRouche and L. Ron Hubbard were the same person? It's true. My empirical evidence is that I never personally witnessed the two of them together in the same room. And, since I wrote it here on social media, it must be true.

I'll wait for the Stamford Advocate to reprint my claims.

Kristin Beckmann, deputy chief of staff for Democrat Governor Tim Walz is alleged to have put pressure on TPT President and CEO Jim Pagliarini to delete the tape.

Sarah Walker, a former Department of Corrections (DOC) employee who was pushed out over a lobbying scandal, was also on the panel. Walker seems to suggest that her not properly defending Gwen Walz during that panel led to her eventual exit from the DOC. Walker told MPR that Beckmann, Walz’s deputy chief of staff, told Walker over the phone: “It’s taken care of … We talked to TPT.” According to Walker, Beckmann continued to say that “The TPT president has now apologized and agreed to destroy all of the videotapes that were made of the event.”

MPR News: Gov. Walz responds to criticism over deleted video: ‘I value transparency highly’.

Gov. Tim Walz defended his administration’s commitment to transparency Wednesday as well as his wife’s role in seeking changes to education offerings for Minnesota’s prison inmates amid a controversy over a testy forum of which video was later deleted.

“I will stand by that we’re as transparent as any administration, if not the most that Minnesota has ever seen,” Walz told reporters after touring the Minneapolis VA. He added, “I value transparency highly. I believe that I’ve lived that way.”
-
Republicans have harshly criticized Walz since the story about the tape deletion was published.
-
Walz struck back.

“Is their point that we don’t want to talk about race? Is their point that we don’t want to talk about prison reform? Because I had a bill to do both of those things that was not heard by the Republican Senate,” Walz said.

Walz said others involved in the event also pushed for the video to be discarded. He said the lack of signed releases from participants and attendees made it problematic to retain or broadcast the footage.

Walz feigns he "highly values transparency". Is there a more redundant, trite and worn-out platitude than that? There's no transparency in the Walz Administration. He isn't fooling anyone.

Walz's comment of, "Is their point that we don’t want to talk about race? Is their point that we don’t want to talk about prison reform," doesn't answer the criticism from the Republicans. Instead, Walz deflects to the issue of race. Ah, The Race Card. Well, what can he say? "My wife had no idea what she was talking about or the slightest grasp of the subject matter,"?

The Walz Administration and staff continues proving itself an unfunny comedy of errors, unprepared to govern, overwhelmed by the issues it faces and lacking the talent to successfully resolve anything.

Tim Walz succeeds at one thing: finding a camera and microphone when it's beneficial for him. Which is far too frequent than the exception. We can't really credit him much for getting one video deleted, but who knows? Maybe this is the first of more to come in the incestuous relationship of Public Taxpayer Subsidized Media continuing to carry water for the DEMS. This could Trend in the future.

We have more than three years left to live through the Walz Clown Administration. Hope your income and well-being is up for it.

72 different emojis to represent gay, straight & lesbian couples in 5 races.

RT: No, Apple, we don’t need 72 different emojis to represent gay, straight & lesbian couples in 5 races.

If I wanted an emoji to look exactly like me, I’d just send a photograph. But then, unlike Apple and Google, I understand that they are a symbolic shorthand, not a racist tool of oppression that ignores my identity.
[.]
Seventy-two new iOS emojis of couples holding hands, instead of a generic symbol. Thus, a blonde woman with a blond man, a blonde woman with a tan skinned man, a blonde woman with a light-skinned black man, a blonde woman with a dark-skinned black man, a dark-skinned black woman with a light-skinned black woman, a white man with a moustache with a white man without a moustache, and so on and on and on.

So, anyone feeling excluded?

Parler CEO says Apple won’t let free speech app update unless it censors content. Apple relents.

Reclaim The Net: Apple app update bans Parler.

John Matze, the founder and CEO of free speech social network Parler, says that Apple has given him an ultimatum – ban “offensive” content off Parler or the Parler app will be banned from the App Store. Matze says he refused and now Apple is preventing Parler from updating its app.
[.]
Based on Matze’s claims, Parler won’t be able to push updates to its iOS app until the situation gets resolved which is unlikely if Parler stays committed to allowing “offensive” speech. This means the Parler iOS app will probably become unusable in September when Apple releases iOS 13, a new version of its mobile operating system, because app updates are usually necessary in order for them to continue working with the latest version of iOS.

Apple has relented, at least for now.

Breitbart: Parler Accuses Apple of Slow-Walking App Update.

Free-speech centered social media app Parler recently attempted to roll out an update to their iPhone app, a common event that many app developers do on a regular basis to add new features, fix bugs, update app elements, etc. But Parler found their update stopped dead in its track as Apple stated that it would have to review the app to determine if the update would be allowed to go ahead.

After Parler attempted to launch the update, company CEO John Matze says he was contacted by an Apple employee via the App Store Connect portal. The employee explained that the Parler app was likely in violation of the App store rule 1.1.1 which prohibits:

    ["]Defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups, particularly if the app is likely to humiliate, intimidate, or place a targeted individual or group in harm’s way. Professional political satirists and humorists are generally exempt from this requirement.["]

Last night, the app update was finally approved the delay.
