Twitter bans popular account highlighting Nancy Pelosi stock trades, @NancyTracker by aletho

  Twitter bans popular account highlighting Nancy Pelosi stock trades, @NancyTracker by aletho ther account that scrutinizes powerful figures By Tom Parker  Twitter has booted @NancyTracker, a popular account that documented Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s stock trades and drew attention to the millions of dollars she and her husband have generated through trading. The account had over 200,000 followers when it was banned. Some of its most popular tweets highlighted that Pelosi’s role as a government official gives her access to “insider information” and noted that Pelosi’s returns have significantly outpaced both the market and some of the world’s best investors. @NancyTracker was created by The Free Press Report which also created the largest Ghislaine Maxwell trial tracker account, @TrackerTrial. Twitter suspended both accounts earlier today and claimed that The Free Press Foundation had broken its rules against “platform manipulation and spam.” It also referenced rules...

Bigoted Cops and the Drug War -------- By Jacob G. Hornberger

Bigoted Cops and the Drug War by aletho By Jacob G. Hornberger | FFF | June 3, 2020 If Americans want to diminish racial bigotry in police departments across the country, the best way to start is by legalizing drugs, all of them. That would bring an end to the legal opportunity that bigoted cops have in the enforcement of drug laws against blacks. I’m not saying that all cops are racial bigots. We all know that they’re not. But we also know that some of them are. And the drug war permits them to exercise their racial bigotry to their heart’s content — and even get praised and thanked for their service while doing so. After all, let’s face it: there are racial bigots in society, and there will always be racial bigots in society. Anyone who thinks he is going to wipe out racial bigotry through “education” and “enlightenment” is living in la la land. When someone engages in racial bigotry on a private level, he is subject to private and peaceful retaliatory measures, such as loss of sales...

The Main Street Conservative Wisdom of Hank Aaron-By CASEY CHALK

The Main Street Conservative Wisdom of Hank Aaron The baseball legend appreciated the value of tradition and the role of old-fashioned hard work. By CASEY CHALK • August 28, 2019 In early August, my father-in-law and I attended a Braves-Reds game at SunTrust Park in Atlanta. The game itself was an anamnesis of the American civic liturgy, a contest between baseball’s first openly all-professional team (the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings) and its oldest continuously operating franchise (originally called the Boston Red Caps). A long rain delay (which eventually turned into a rain out) forced the two of us down into Monument Garden, where the Braves honor their heroes of yesteryear. And none earn more accolades than the great Henry “Hank” Aaron, who broke Babe Ruth’s home-run record in 1974. Reading selected quotations from Aaron, I was struck by how well he understood many of the truths of Main Street conservatism (even if he has a history of strongly criticizing the GOP!). The mos...

Get a Grip, Bret Stephens---By DANIEL R. DEPETRIS

Get a Grip, Bret Stephens Lashing out because you were called a "bedbug" on Twitter is unprofessional and pathetic. By DANIEL R. DEPETRIS  Writing an opinion column can be a painful experience, especially once the job is done. Take a few minutes to scroll through the comments section below any article and you’ll quickly understand what I’m talking about. Trolls, critics, and hacks spare no opportunity to insult you, belittle you, even threaten you with a painful death. It’s an unwritten rule that 90 percent of comments are negative and even vicious. Bret Stephens, a bestselling author and long-time columnist, presumably understands this better than most. He’s been in the journalism business for decades, having scribed for the Jerusalem Post and the Wall Street Journal, and now comfortably ensconced at the New York Times. He’s been a public figure for years, pontificating on cable TV and offering his so-called wisdom on matters of state (that “wisdom” includes recommendi...

Alien-Themed Brothel in Nevada Reports Spike in Interest Against Backdrop of Storm Area 51 Craze

Alien-Themed Brothel in Nevada Reports Spike in Interest Against Backdrop of Storm Area 51 Craze Even though the chances that alien-hunters are going to go through with the joke-turned-viral-sensation and break into the classified US Air Force base are miniscule, Nevada still has something to offer these truth seekers. A legal brothel, the Alien Cathouse, in Nevada, housing a so-called Area 51, has told The Daily Star that they have “noticed a large increase in email and phone inquiries from persons interested in booking parties with the courtesans” at their institution. The brothel, founded by now-deceased sex mogul Dennis Hof, offers a variety of sci-fi-themed X-rated entertainment to its visitors, even though it is not very near the secret facility guarded by the US military. “We have numerous legal courtesans that work at the Alien Cathouse Brothel. In addition to the obvious sci-fi, alien or extra-terrestrial theme our brothel as of current caters more to the visitor that is...

Dr.. Haidar Ibrahim Ali writes: Do not lift your stick in our faces, Hamidati!-

!Dr.. Haidar Ibrahim Ali writes: Do not lift your stick in our faces, Hamidati The culture of arrogance, indecency and lack of respect for others Do not lift your stick in our faces, my Hamidati again The stubbornness of the military and their adherence to their positions reflect a great deal of arrogance, indecency, self-admiration and disrespect for the other (especially civilian ones). There is no dialogue, negotiations and discussion in the culture of the military. I almost asked Hameedti: Mtlk with your right, my Hamid? It is not the task of the stick to raise it in our faces when it speaks to us. It is not a matter of politeness and taste to raise the stick in their faces, no matter how powerful the material on which they are based. But this military arrogance is historically old. When Napoleon entered Rome, the counselors told him that the pope was angry. He answered them with a stupid and arrogant question: How many tanks does this pope have ?! Valdabat is only the standa...

Interpretation of Cultivation Theory according to Our Society----Epsilon Eridani

Interpretation of Cultivation Theory according to Our Society February 17, 2019 Epsilon Eridani I wrote this as a segment from Mass Media Theories course assignment for my MA evening class. It’s just a draft written in a tight submission schedule. So I ask the reader to have mercy if I have mistakenly made any wrong statement. Cultivation theory hypothesize that the teaching of a common roles, and common values. The theory is based on the assumption that mass media have subtle effects on audiences who unknowingly absorb the dominant symbols, images and messages of media. My interpretation of Cultivation theory In Ethiopian context: The young society has recently been exposed to the conspiracy theory movies like Michael Moore’s we didn’t land on the moon, David Icke’s the biggest secret and the BBC conspiracy theory documentary on Illuminati: the new world order Which led to the widely accept notion that the world is controlled by very few ill will psychopathic control freak ri...

Christian Zionist Lobby Makes Its Case to Washington’s Liberal Jews

American Evangelist and CUFI head John Hagee addresses a rally in Jerusalem having just declared Israel must remain in control of all of Jerusalem. April 6, 2008  AP Christian Zionist Lobby Makes Its Case to Washington’s Liberal Jews JTA and Ron Kampeas What persists among liberal pro-Israel groups, however, is wariness of CUFI’s alliances with the broader American right wing Christians United for Israel is no stranger in this city: It has become a key player in recent years in Congress’ passing of pro-Israel legislation, often of the kind favored by the more hawkish elements of the pro-Israel community. It’s that reputation that this week brought a small delegation to the capital — but not to advance any new bill. Instead, two top officials were meeting with officials of one of the country’s most liberal Jewish communities in order to assure them that whatever else they’ve heard, CUFI is on their side. Reaching out to Jewish communities is hardly unprecedented for the or...

Taiwan voters reject same-sex marriage in referendums

Taiwan voters reject same-sex marriage in referendums Voters in Taiwan have rejected legalising same-sex marriages in a series of referendums on Saturday. They backed the definition of marriage as the union of a man and woman. Last year a high court had ruled in favour of same-sex unions, ordering legislation. The government has said it will still press on with new laws but they may now be weaker. Meanwhile, President Tsai Ing-wen quit as leader of Taiwan's governing party after defeats in local elections. Her pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) lost more than half of the 13 cities and counties it won in 2014. Taiwan's relations with China have deteriorated since Ms Tsai came to power in 2016. Beijing has refused to deal with her because she does not recognise an agreement reached between the two sides in 1992 that both sides are part of one China. What's behind the China-Taiwan divide? Taiwan profile What were voters asked about same-sex marriag...
