Signal reports that the Biden team saw no apparent difference between targeting books on Amazon and any other forms of social media censorship that it was pushing.
Andrew Slavitt, then a senior adviser on Biden’s COVID-19 response team, had previously asked, “Who can we talk to about the high levels of propaganda and misinformation and disinformation [on] Amazon?”
And by “talk to”, they meant get rid of.
The resulting compromise instead settled for shadow banning the books.
In this discussion, a staffer noted that “we did enable Do Not Promote for anti-vax books whose primary purpose is to persuade readers vaccines are unsafe or ineffective on 3/9, and will review additional handling options for these books with you, [redacted], and [redacted] on 3/19.”
That March 9 decision to change Amazon’s algorithm to avoid promoting “anti-vax books” appears to have happened after the meeting with White House staff.
Who were the people names that were redacted?
Another example of the left secretly doing what they accuse the right of being guilty of. In Florida, DeSantis is pilloried for keeping adult content out of elementary schools, accused of being a book burner, all the while no such restrictions are applied to the adult marketplace. Conversely the Biden administration sneaks surreptitiously affecting the book market to diminish the sales of countering opinions.
Both, in a way are restricting speech. One legally and in keeping with indecency decisions, the other dishonest as hell.
Dearborn Mayor Claims Exposing Hamas Support is ‘Islamophobic’
The picture at the header of this blog has historical significance.
Can you tell me what that is?
A sporadic effort over a year has ended with the completion of Victor Hugo's Les Miserables.
The novel was published in 1862, a story about an ex-convict's struggle for redemption in the depressed country of France, following Napoleon's defeat and exile.
Kind of already knew the story having been dragged to the Broadway production, by my wife, twice.
The book is a hard read, but worth it.
The Master of the House, in the book, is not one bit humorous.
Since the season of Super Bowl IV, I’ve been a fan of the Minnesota Vikings. Those Vikings included Joe Kapp, Alan Page and Carl Eller, a great group that was the first of four teams that Bud Grant led to the championship game.
I picked the Vikings as my favorite team because real Vikings had horns on their helmets. Not a bad choice for a little boy, analytical, engineer-like.
Anyway, while doing some web browsing, ran across the name Otis Taylor. Bad memories arose, Otis breaking free of Ed Sharockman, sealing the low scoring championship game. Damn.
Otis was a really good wide receiver, big, very big for the day, and fast.. He played for over a decade, only for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Otis passed away last March, he was 80 years old
The Wall Street Journal posted an opinion written by James Taranto, discussing the statements of former Senator of Nebraska and current President of the University of Florida at Gainesville, Ben Sasse.
When asked if cries for the genocide of Jews would violate UF's policies bullying and harassment policy? Something that the leaders of M-eye-T, Hah-vud and Pen-E trouble with. Mr. Sasse was direct to the point.
“Yes”
The discussion drifted to the presidential race and President Trump. Sasse, as Nebraska's Senator and avowed Libertarian, was often critical of the Republican President. He did on most instances vote with the president but as an ideological foe, was therefore a darling of mainstream media.
I heard this on the radio, so I will have to paraphrase, I did search the internet and had trouble finding the text to which I am referring.
I have not always supported the President, but he has always supported me.
Not my words but captures my feelings very well. I voted for other candidates in the last two of state primaries, but did vote for Trump in both national elections. In the first national, he got my vote with a held nose, in the second with eagerness In the third he will get my vote in both the primary and the national.
This article seems to include the original phrasing.
“I’m gonna flip it on you and say he supported my policies.”
Now the paraphrase and the actual quotation are not exactly the same, but close enough. Close enough to explain why it was so difficult to locate with common search engines.
Right smart is defined as a goodly amount.
"She's put on a right smart of weight lately."
Why is it that the government, in this case the FBI, characterizes expressions of racism as "right wing". In this story a transgender person, a biological man, has expressed hatred for black people. The hatred reportedly arose from black persons not respecting female representation.
To me, this is disturbed individual, assigning the classification an oversimplification.
As people and governments are prone to do.
In my experience, transexuals are almost always left leaning.
Where is it factual that only right leaning persons are racist?
There are endless streams of cases of right and left based racism.
In this case the FBI's public service announcements belie the bias of its political leadership.
Let's hope that the rank-and-file agents are seriously investigating.
