In a nutshell, an independent panel suggested that the FB ban was both justified as a temporary action, but not necessarily justified as a lifetime ban because of Facebook's lack of objective standards for bans in general
Obviously this doesn't really satisfy anyone and leaves the same murky problem that exists in the first place. Zuckerberg decided to punt to an independent panel, and the independent panel huddled, refused to call a play, and then basically punted back to them.
If the panel believes that Facebook is justified in a temporary ban, then why doesn't that same justification hold true for a lifetime ban. If, on the other hand, Facebook does not have the objective standards in place to justify a lifetime ban, then what standards are used to determine temporary bans?
This feels a little like the idea that we can let a little crime like petty theft slide, but we cannot not allow the felony grand theft to stand. It's not about the law, but about to what degree we pick and choose to enforce it. To this degree, the panel suggests that a ban decided without a lack of objective standard is okay if the ban does not do too much harm, but not okay if you want to make it permanent.
So the panel has determined that Facebook does not have any objective standards to make banning decisions (well duh?). They "suggest" that this is a problem that should probably be rectified if Facebook wants to continue to ban over political speech. But for now, even if Facebook is guilty of not having objective standards, the panel is not prepared to actually do anything but suggest that possibly, maybe, perhaps Facebook should not be banning Trump permanently, or at least not without objective standards that can be fairly applied.

There was nothing "independent" about that panel. It includes that miserable lesbian bitch from Stanford Law who picked on Barron trump during the impeachment circle jerk.
Personally I'm glad it worked out the way it did. Those TDS-afflicted geniuses made Trump a martyr to his 75 MILLION+ supporters.
You can't buy that kind of publicity.
It also gives ammo to those who seek to break up big tech.
A win-win for us.

Facebook banned Trump for saying, since November 2020, that the election was “stolen.” But Hillary Clinton, since November 2016, has said THE SAME THING. Why hasn’t Facebook banned for Clinton for peddling “The Big Lie” about her 2016 defeat?!?

The Facebook panel is about as non-partisan as the Mueller team was.
Amazing how that always works out when judging Republicans.
Wonder if anyone has informed Mueller who Steele was. Remember he had no idea after "his" "investigation" ended and he appeared under oath.

Facebook funding any more "non-partisan" efforts?
Suspended vs expelled always carry different levels of behavior.
A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted Derek Chauvin and three other former Minneapolis police officers on charges of violating George Floyd's civil rights.
He didn't have any rights, because he was a drug addict and black.
My view is pretty simple.
Facebook is a corporation. It has the inherent right to choose what they want to publish or broadcast.
When Reagan overturned the fairness Doctrine, it has already allowed Fox news and etc. to broadcast political propaganda.
I don't see a breakup of monopolies like TDR broke up Standard Oil.
Private publishing companies have first amendment rights.
Jobs report worst miss in history. Expected 1M new Jobs. Only got 266K.

Even the federal government might have been able to block his Twitter account.
But I don't agree that would be a good idea.
The pathetic growth Jobs report is the worst miss in history. Expected 1M new Jobs. Only got 266K. Because the Welfare Queens got the money from others and again, instead of going back to work, took the $1,400 food stamp money and prayed for another check!

The other Scott Johnson Powerline implied the deep state conspirators were behind the federal civil rights charges.
It makes out no federal interest to be served in the case over and above the state criminal prosecutions. The press release states only this:
The charges announced today are also separate from, and in addition to, the charges the State of Minnesota has brought against these former officers related to the death of Mr. Floyd. The federal charges allege different criminal offenses; specifically, they allege violations of the U.S. Constitution, rather than of state law.
Well, thank you for the explanation. However, I wonder if such a case has ever been brought when the perpetrators have already been convicted or have yet to be tried in pending state criminal proceedings. I may be missing something, but I am unaware of relevant precedent. Absent relevant precedent or further explanation, I can only comment that I find this aspect of the case performative and abusive.
Politically motivated charges.

Executive Summary: In the wake of the January 6, 2021, unrest at the United States Capitol Building and several social media outlets suspending President Trump’s accounts, free speech is a hot topic. Although the right to free speech is ingrained into American life, free speech is not absolute. The Constitutional right to free speech is not implicated by the actions of these private social media platforms because they are private entities, not arms of the government. Moreover, the First Amendment does not protect certain speech intended to incite or produce violence and lawless action.
To be sure, free speech is an immutable right protected by the First Amendment, which provides that “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech….” But the right to free speech ends where it begins: with the plain language of the Constitution which guarantees it. The First Amendment only prohibits Congress – the legislative branch of the United States government – from abridging the right to free speech. This prohibition has since been made applicable to state and local governments through the Fourteenth Amendment, and generally prohibits government interference with free speech rights.
The First Amendment does not prohibit private individuals, companies and employers from restricting speech. The social media platforms responsible for suspending President Trump’s accounts are privately owned and operated, and they are free to limit the content on their sites without implicating the First Amendment. Thus, the First Amendment is not implicated in the decisions made by private social media platforms to suspend President Trump’s accounts.
Moreover, while the First Amendment prohibits government interference with speech that could be deemed hateful, it does not protect illegal and riot-inducing speech. As Justice Wendell Holmes, Jr. stated more than century ago, “[t]he most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic.” Thus, in Brandenburg v. Ohio, the U.S. Supreme Court held that First Amendment protections do not apply to speech that is “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.”
I'm done arguing with racist rodent bastard etc. Their minds are tiny and angry at beaners .
Roger believes that Facebook is a publisher.
That means that they are legally responsible for everything anyone says to anyone else about anything. Someone defames another member on Facebook, then as a publisher, Zuckerberg (not the member) is responsible.
Roger says something hurtful about me on Twitter. I get to sue Twitter for what Roger said. After all, they are monitoring and ultimately responsible for every single thing written on their platform...
because that is the very definition of a publisher.
The Wall Street Journal has an interesting article about the economic recovery issues
Among the reasons potential workers are holding back: fear of getting Covid, lack of child care and enhanced unemployment benefits
By
Eric Morath
In a red-hot economy coming out of a pandemic and lockdowns, with unemployment still far higher than it was pre-Covid, the country is in a striking predicament. Businesses can’t find enough people to hire.
Rising vaccination rates, easing lockdowns and enormous amounts of federal stimulus aid are boosting consumer spending on goods and services. Yet employers in sectors like manufacturing, restaurants and construction are struggling to find workers. There are more job openings in the U.S. this spring than before the pandemic hit in March 2020, and fewer people in the labor force, according to the Labor Department and private recruiting sites.
Surveys suggest why some can’t or won’t go back to work. Millions of adults say they aren’t working for fear of getting or spreading Covid-19. Businesses are reopening ahead of schools, leaving some parents without child care. Many people are receiving more in unemployment benefits than they would earn in the available jobs. Some who are out of work don’t have the skills needed for jobs that are available or are unwilling to switch to a new career.
Hiring has been robust recently, despite the labor shortfall. U.S. employers added 916,000 jobs in March, according to the Labor Department, and economists project that the April jobs report, due out Friday, will show employers added 1 million more. Weekly unemployment claims fell to 498,000 last week, a new low since the pandemic began.
There are many problems. Fear is the most important issue. Sewing doubt about the vaccines can cause people to refuse to believe it. Emotions overrides objectivity.
But if on Friday report shows a million jobs, the Democrats will look great to the public. If.
due out Friday, will show employers added 1 million more. Weekly unemployment claims fell to 498,000 last week, a new low since the pandemic began.

You have to choose: are you a platform or a publisher?”
It’s the question that makes us pull out our hair and roll our eyes. It’s the question that makes us want to shout from the rooftops “IT DOESN’T MATTER. YOU DON’T HAVE TO CHOOSE”
We’ll say it plainly here: there is no legal significance to labeling an online service a “platform” as opposed to a “publisher.” Yes. That’s right. There is no legal significance to labeling an online service a “platform.” Nor does the law treat online services differently based on their ideological “neutrality” or lack thereof.
There is no common law or statutory significance to the word “platform.” It is not found in Section 230 at all.
Some of the “You’re a platform!” mania is likely the fault of the companies themselves. Some have used the word “platform” to distinguish themselves, who primarily published user-generated content, from those who primarily published their own content, and/or actively edit and curate the content of others. They self-identified as “platforms” mostly to justify what was perceived as their hands-off approach to content moderation, particularly with respect to decisions not to remove hateful and harassing speech from their sites.
It’s fair to call out the big social media companies for holding themselves out as purely passive conduits (which is what some seem to mean when they call themselves “platforms”) when they actually moderate a ton of user content every day, and pretty much always have. Our work on the Santa Clara Principles reflects the human rights implications of content moderation, even though we support the First Amendment right of intermediaries to curate their sites.
But as a legal cudgel against perceived political bias, which is how the “admit it you’re a publisher not a platform” screed has most frequently been used, it is a meaningless distinction.
It's too complex for you know who rrb etc.

Big Majority of Republicans Still Don’t Believe Biden Won
Geoffrey Skelley:
“President Biden took office more than three months ago, but Republicans are not any closer to accepting his victory now than they were then.
“The latest CNN/SSRS survey, released on April 30, found that
70 percent of Republicans believed the false allegation that Biden did not legitimately defeat former President Trump;
just 23 percent said Biden legitimately won.
Meanwhile,
Democrats (97-3 percent) and
independents (69-27 percent) said Biden had won fairly.
These numbers are very similar to what CNN/SSRS found in mid-January, just before Biden’s inauguration.
“And this lack of movement is really the story.”

Unexpectedly, The Unemployment Rate Spikes Upwards as the Economy Fails To Produce the Million Jobs That "Experts" Predicted, and Instead Produces Only a Catastrophe of 266,000
Maybe this has something to do with people being paid not to work, and now deciding they'd rather keep just sitting at home, not paying rent, and collecting their stimmy checks.
And the pseudoright's embrace of that situation -- shrieking that anyone who said the economy had to be kept open was a brain-dead MAGA Zombie and a Grandma Killer -- is going to end up plunging the US into a depression, and harming the candidate they worked so hard to (fake) elect, Joe Biden.
http://ace.mu.nu/archives/393729.php
WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden on Friday said that April's lower than expected job growth reveals that the U.S. economy is still struggling to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, and that his massive infrastructure and family support bills are needed now more than ever.
"This month's job numbers show we are on the right track," said Biden. "But we still have a long way to go. My laser focus is on growing the nation's economy and creating jobs. My laser focus is on vaccinating, and my laser focus is on one more thing: making sure that hard working people in this country are no longer left out in the cold."
Hiring slowed dramatically in April, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by a much less than expected 266,000 and the unemployment rate rose to 6.1% amid an escalating shortage of available workers.
When we get everyone vaccinated, the people who are scared of the covid-19 virus, millions of people will go back to work.
Construction jobs require identification of vaccination. Once we reach close to normality they will reconsider and go to work!
Oh, and March was revised down by 146,000, from 916,000
to 770,000.

Another alky myth goes up in flames.
In KC I bought brand new in the first phase of a gated community. Phase III was still under construction and all I heard was nail guns and Spanish.
The article is missing some major issues...
The argument that a newspaper is both a platform and publisher because it allows letters to the editor is bunk. Because the Newspaper chooses to print or not print a letter and they are not provided any immunity to civil action based on the concept that their letters to the editor are covered under section 230.
It's what Roger likes to call a "false equivalency" only in this case it actually is legally a false equivalency. The letters to the editors are simply unpaid articles written by unpaid authors and "published" by the newspaper. There is no "open forum" type of situation.
And while the actual "term" platform is not on the law the fact that several legal decisions make use of the term (as well as open forum) sort of overrides the idea that 230 does not apply to Twitter, Facebook, and others.
I would say that the idea that they do not apply to them would come to a big shock to Zuckerberg, Dorsey and others who rely on it to protect them from being sued for what people post and say on their "platforms".
this author is basically claiming that "he" understands the law better than those judges, attorneys, platform owners and such who actually do believe that 230 is relevant to their situation.
Leisure and hospitality added 331,000, including 187,000 jobs in restaurants and bars. Those figures are lower than what many analysts expected given that many states and cities lifted or eased restrictions on dining and drinking businesses in April.
Construction was flat for the month, a surprising result given the strength of the housing market.
Manufacturing shed 18,000 jobs, led down by automaker employment declining by 27,000. Wood product producers shed 7,000 jobs, perhaps reflecting extremely high prices for lumber.
The messenger and courier business shed 77,000 jobs in April, making it one of the biggest declining categories. The reason for that is not at all clear.
Employment at food and beverage stores fell by 49,400. Gas station employment fell by 8,900.
The temporary administrative help services sector contracted by 111,000 jobs in April.

The argument that a newspaper is both a platform and publisher because it allows letters to the editor is bunk. Because the Newspaper chooses to print or not print a letter and they are not provided any immunity to civil action based on the concept that their letters to the editor are covered under section 230.
And every newspaper I've ever seen including the NY Times always includes a disclaimer at the every guest op/ed, including the letter to the editors section.
"content contained within does not reflect the opinions of the staff or employees of this publication... blah, blah, blah..."
An intelligent and thoughtful liberal writes a letter to the editor at the NY Times:
To the Editor:
As reprehensible as the overwhelming majority of former President Donald Trump’s social media posts are, a permanent social media ban imposed on him would be a serious threat to the freedom that we all enjoy. I disagree with virtually all of the statements that Mr. Trump has made, but I also disagree with permanently banning him or his supporters from social media platforms.
I am both disgusted and tired of hearing about how people are swayed by the power of social media. People can also be persuaded by articles written in The New York Times or National Review. Does this mean that we should ban either of these publications?
My answer to this question is a resounding no. Having said this, reader beware. Just because it is posted on social media or written about in The New York Times or National Review does not make it the entire truth.

Stanford Doctor: COVID Lockdowns Were An ‘Overreaction’ To ‘Protect The Rich’
FEBRUARY 1, 2021 By Jordan Davidson
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University and co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, told podcast host Megyn Kelly that lockdowns have ineffectively addressed the concerns and danger COVID-19 poses to certain communities.
“I’ve come to think of it as trickle-down epidemiology. We’ve used the lockdowns to protect the rich, whereas we essentially expose the — like in California for instance, it’s the poor areas that have had the high death rates from COVID. The lockdowns haven’t protected people living in places where there’s high poverty,” Bhattacharya said on “The Megyn Kelly Show.” “Minority populations, especially Hispanics, have been hard hit. Fifty percent of people who have had COVID deaths are Hispanic in California.”
According to Battacharya, lockdowns were an “unfocused overreaction” that served as a distraction from addressing the people who are the most vulnerable to the virus.
“The lockdowns have been an enormous and ineffective overreaction, not actually protecting the population from COVID. While at the same time, the collateral damage is absolutely devastating,” he continued. “It’s an unfocused overreaction. … We just should have focused on the population we knew to be at risk, protected them, thought of creative ways to protect them from the beginning of the epidemic. … And for the rest of the population, the lockdown, we should have been thinking about the collateral damage from the very beginning.”
One aspect of this “collateral damage,” Kelly said, is the fact that teachers unions are preventing students from returning to in-person learning, another decision that is hurting already at-risk communities.
“Their standard of safety knows no bounds. The truth is no amount of safety measures is going to get these teachers back in the classroom. … We’re seeing this decade dichotomy happening across the nation between public and private schools. The private schools go back, and the kids who were in the public school system, which doesn’t have as much money behind them, they don’t get to go,” Kelly said. “It’s unfair. … The schools have to reopen. It’s safe, it’s been proven safe. The Chicago teachers who refuse to obey the district order to get back in the classrooms should be fired. Same for those in Montclair, New Jersey, and any other district that puts the well-being of students last.”
Damn it Roger, think, think before Parroting.

Despite anecdotal evidence from Scott, etc, liberal economists said it’s unlikely the United States is facing a labor shortage. Heidi Shierholz, director of policy at the Economic Policy Institute in Washington, noted that there are still far more unemployed workers than job openings, according to federal government surveys. She said there haven’t been meaningful wage increases, either, which are a hallmark of labor shortages..
A $15.00 minimum wage and the President's infrastructure plan, the labor shortage will be reversed and again the union movement will rebuild America.

What there is is an ABUNDANCE of lazy assholes getting stimmy checks to sit home and jerk off rent free thanks to unending eviction moratoriums..
Cloward and Piven's article is focused on forcing the Democratic Party, which in 1966 controlled the presidency and both houses of the United States Congress, to take federal action to help the poor. They stated that full enrollment of those eligible for welfare "would produce bureaucratic disruption in welfare agencies and fiscal disruption in local and state governments" that would: "...deepen existing divisions among elements in the big-city Democratic coalition: the remaining white middle class, the working-class ethnic groups and the growing minority poor. To avoid a further weakening of that historic coalition, a national Democratic administration would be constrained to advance a federal solution to poverty that would override local welfare failures, local class and racial conflicts and local revenue dilemmas."[2]
They further wrote:
The ultimate objective of this strategy—to wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income—will be questioned by some. Because the ideal of individual social and economic mobility has deep roots, even activists seem reluctant to call for national programs to eliminate poverty by the outright redistribution of income.[2]
Michael Reisch and Janice Andrews wrote that Cloward and Piven "proposed to create a crisis in the current welfare system – by exploiting the gap between welfare law and practice – that would ultimately bring about its collapse and replace it with a system of guaranteed annual income. They hoped to accomplish this end by informing the poor of their rights to welfare assistance, encouraging them to apply for benefits and, in effect, overloading an already overburdened bureaucracy."[3]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloward%E2%80%93Piven_strategy
In the latest jobs report, however, the labor participation rate — the percentage of people working or looking for work — ticked up slightly from March, and many businesses have reported success in hiring new workers when they offered higher wages. A Pew analysis from October 2019 found a labor shortage that predated the pandemic and expanded benefits, noting “in 39 states, there are more jobs than people looking for them.” A study from Yale in July 2020 found that expanded unemployment benefits did not affect employment.

If the minimum wage was $15.00/hour millions of people who have unemployment benefits would go back to work immediately. Especially if we get the child care facility services in the Sleepy Joe Biden bill.
A study from Yale in July 2020 found that expanded unemployment benefits did not affect employment.

Reality from America in May 2021 found that expanded unemployment benefits DOES affect unemployment. And free rent driven by eviction moratoriums doesn't help either.

Rubbish. Republicans can spout off all the catchy slogans about blue jeans and beer they want, but actions speak louder than words. But let’s look at what they’re actually doing.
Did they vote for the American Rescue Plan? No. Not a single Republican in Congress voted for stimulus checks and extra unemployment benefits needed by millions of American workers.
So what have they voted for? Well, every single one of them voted for Trump’s 2017 tax cut for the wealthy and corporations, of which 83 percent of the benefits go to the richest 1 percent over a decade.
They claimed corporations would use the savings from the tax cut to invest in their workers. In reality, corporations used their tax savings to buy back shares of their own stock in order to boost share values. And some corporations then fired large portions of their workforce. Not very pro-worker, if you ask me.
Have they voted for any taxes on the wealthy? No. Quite the opposite. Republicans refuse to tax the rich. They’ve even been trying to get rid of the estate tax, which only applies to estates worth at least $11.7 million for individuals and $23.4 million for married couples. Working class my foot.
Have they backed a bill to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, which a majority of Americans favor? No. Republicans refuse to raise the minimum wage even though it would give 32 million workers a raise. That’s about a fifth of the entire U.S. workforce.
Do they support unions, which empower workers to get better pay and benefits? No again. To the contrary: Republicans have enacted right-to-work laws in 28 states, decimating unions’ bargaining power and enabling businesses to exploit their workers.
And when it comes to strengthening labor laws, only five out of 211 Republicans voted for the PRO Act in the House – the toughest labor law legislation in a generation.
How about the historic union drive at the Bessemer, Alabama Amazon warehouse, which Joe Biden and almost all Democrats have strongly backed? Just one Republican spoke out in support. All others have been dead silent.
What about backing regulations that keep workers safe? Nope. In fact, they didn’t bat an eye when Trump rolled back child labor protections, undid worker safeguards from exposure to cancerous radiation, and gutted measures that shield workers from wage theft.
Do they support overtime? No. They allowed Trump to eliminate overtime for 8 million workers, and continue to repeat the corporate lie about “job-killing regulations.”
What about expanding access to healthcare to all working people? Not a chance. Republicans at the state level have blocked Medicaid expansion and enacted Medicaid work requirements, while Republicans in Congress have tried for years to repeal the entirety of the Affordable Care Act. If they succeeded, they would have stripped healthcare away from more than 20 million working Americans.
So don’t fall for the Republican Party’s “working class” rebrand. It’s a cruel hoax. The GOP doesn’t give a fig about working people. It is, and always will be, the party of big business and billionaires.

Yet Roger moves to yet another topic, defeated and embarrassed again on a Econ 101 Question.
I can tell you why the uptick in unemployment is a good thing.
Can you?
Roger didn't, because he can't.
The Yale study:
We supplement our results from the Homebase data with benchmarks from the Current Population
Survey (CPS), a more representative sample of the US labor market. The CPS is administered
monthly and asks about labor market activities in the second week of a given month. Participants
respond to the CPS for a period of 4 consecutive months, then rotate out for 8 months, then rotate
back in for another period of 4 consecutive months before rotating out permanently. For example,
a respondent in our sample may be in the data in February, March, April, And May 2019; they
would then rotate in for February, March, April, and May 2020 before rotating out permanently.

Some study.
It has as a reference point data drive ONE Year before the lockdowns.
Two of the largest companies have increased the wages and again don't have a problem with getting people to work for them because Walmart Inc., the largest private-sector employer, announced raises for 425,000 employees in February, lifting its average wage above $15 an hour. The second-largest private employer in the U.S., Amazon.com Inc., said in April that more than 500,000 of its employees would see pay increases of between 50 cents and $3 an hour. Costco Wholesale Corp. lifted its starting wage to $16 an hour earlier this year.
The conservative view is wrong again and again and again.
The uptick in unemployment is good because it reflects the fact that more people are actively looking for work, which always increases the number people designated "unemployed."
What the Fucking babble prattle is this word salad tragedy.

April’s Expected Hiring Boom Was a Bust
“Hiring was a huge letdown in April, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by a much less than expected 266,000 and the unemployment rate rose to 6.1% amid an escalating shortage of available workers,” CNBC reports.
Wall Street Journal:
“The slowdown in hiring signaled a potential slowdown in economic momentum, at least temporarily, as some businesses struggled to find workers and faced supply-chain issues.”

But amazingly, none of that has been done. No one even mentions the numbers. And in fact, you’re not allowed to. You’ll be pulled off the internet if you do. The people in charge do not acknowledge them. Instead, they warn us about what might happen if we don’t take the vaccine. Like Sleepy Joe Biden.

At 6:31 in the morning on November 4th, a dump of 149,772 votes came in to the State of Michigan. Biden received 96% of those votes and the State miraculously went to him. Has the Michigan State Senate started their review of the Fraudulent Presidential Election of 2020 yet, or are they about to start? If not, they should be run out of office. Likewise, at 3:42 in the morning, a dump of 143,379 votes came in to the state of Wisconsin, also miraculously, given to Biden. Where did these “votes” come from? Both were State Election changing events, and that is on top of the other corruption without even including the fact that neither state got Legislative approval, which is required under the United States Constitution.

U.S. stocks jumped to record levels on Friday even after a disappointing April jobs report as the weak number made investors believe easy monetary policies that powered the market’s historic rebound will stay in place for longer.

Trump Aides Cast Doubt on McCarthy Becoming Speaker
Insider:
“They are pointing out how House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) fell short when he first tried to win the job in 2015 before withdrawing… And they routinely note Trump doesn’t like to associate himself with losers.”
[In that case it must hurt him a lot to look in the mirror.]
“One former House GOP leadership aide said McCarthy enjoys front-runner status to succeed Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should Republicans win the majority. But this person added that any flash of weakness from McCarthy between now and 2022 could prompt frenemies to pounce.”

By Paul Bradford
May 6, 2021
Tucker Carlson spurred a much-needed reexamination of the military in March. His monologue criticizing the military’s political correctness drew a more furious response from top brass than any foreign threat is likely to do. The generals’ response only affirmed Tucker’s points about the degraded state of our armed forces. Why do generals—both current and retired—feel the need to condemn civilians who question the wisdom of putting women in combat?
The answer is that the military, along with the entire national security establishment, is at one with the Democrat-Media complex. The image we have of generals and senior officers as defenders of tradition is wildly out of step with reality.

“Six months removed from his Election Day loss, Trump has emerged from his West Palm Beach hibernation — refashioning himself as the president of the Republican States of America and reshaping the party in ways both micro and macro.
“Trump’s reappearance is fueled by an ego-driven desire to remain at the center of national attention, said former advisers and allies who are in touch with Trump.
“The defeated ex-president is propelled primarily by
* a thirst for retribution,
*an insatiable quest for the spotlight and
*a desire to establish and maintain
total dominance and control over
the Republican base,
said several former senior White House advisers.
He has boasted to some in his orbit that he expects

Storm Troopers
Economists and politicians alike were shocked by the unexpectedly tepid April jobs report released Friday, which showed that the economy only added about a quarter the number of jobs most were expecting.
The report found U.S. businesses added just 266,000 new jobs in April instead of the roughly 1 million that economists had projected.
The figure would be solid in the midst of a strong economy, but was tremendously disappointing for a nation emerging from a pandemic in which 9.8 million people remain unemployed.
Here are five takeaways to make some sense of the report.
It’s going to be bumpy ride
Any recovery from the depths of the coronavirus recessions is unlikely to be a straight ride.
“I think this signals that we’re in for a rockier road that we thought,” said Robert Frick, corporate economist at Navy Federal Credit Union.
Frick predicted there will be a recovery and better reports in the future, but said the expectations of a booming report were too optimistic.
“Given the fundamentals, with so much money that’s been banked and all the good things that have come so far — strength in hiring, manufacturing, and so on — I think things are generally headed in a good direction, but there’s going to be friction coming,” he said.
But he acknowledged the bad report in April was still a surprise.
“Nobody expected it would be this early,” he said.
Child care is an issue
The jobs report shed light on some of the current trouble spots, though economists say more data is needed to know exactly what’s going on.
For example, even as overall employment rose, female employment dropped by 8,000, while female labor force participation dropped by 64,000.
An obvious explanation, says Frick, is child care, which disproportionately falls on the shoulders of women.
“There are preschools and kindergartens and child care and schools that are fractured and not open, so there are a lot of women who are forced to stay home,” he said.
While local government education jobs increased 31,000, they were still 611,000 lower than pre-pandemic levels.
Another problem is that despite the significant uptick in vaccinations, a large proportion of the population is still unvaccinated, and the pandemic, though greatly reduced from its winter surge, is far from over.
“There are a lot of people that don’t want to go back to work in closed quarters because of COVID, and 5,000 Americans died of COVID in the last week, so we can’t dismiss that,” Frick said.
An analysis from survey company Morning Consult noted data showing that losses in pay remained elevated, and that a growing share of workers thought they would lose pay in the coming month.
Kate Bahn, director of labor market policy at the left-leaning Washington Center for Equitable Growth, says the problems in the labor market reflect long-standing inequalities and divisions that will persist.
“Broadly speaking we went into the crisis with a really uneven and fragile economy,” she said. “Without having policies that are really intentionally targeting inequality, the recovery will be slower.”
But, she added, the April data was more confounding than previous swings in employment during the pandemic, which could often be tied to a specific event such as severe weather or a spike in COVID-19 cases.
“When we’ve seen fluctuations, there’s usually a reason we’ve seen to understand the fluctuation,” she said.“This month did not have any of those obvious reasons, and it will take a couple of months of data to get the full picture.”
The fight over extra unemployment is on
Republicans and conservative groups have zeroed in on generous unemployment benefits as the culprit behind the slowdown.
“Government paying people more to stay home than to work has crushed the ability of businesses to get workers back, and this jobs report is evidence of that," said Adam Brandon, president of the conservative FreedomWorks advocacy group.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce called for repealing the additional $300 weekly unemployment benefit that is in place until September.
Republican governors of Montana and South Carolina both said they would withdraw the federal benefit to boost employment.
But debate remains fierce among economists as to whether or how much additional unemployment is holding back the labor force.
“What is causing these supply constraints in the job market? Is it unemployment benefits that are too high? Schools that are still closed for full-time in-person instruction? A skills mismatch between available jobs and available workers? A lack of business startups?” Nationwide Chief Economist David Berson asked in response to the report.
“All of these probably are playing a role,” he concluded.
Frick said there’s little evidence to back up the idea that expanded benefits are keeping people from working.
“You can look at states with higher and lower unemployment benefits and there’s no correlation with their unemployment rates,” said Frick, who suggested a lack of child care, transportation issues are among the reasons why low-income workers might face greater challenges in getting back to work.
Democrats are doubling down on spending
Democrats said the report showed the schisms in the economy that they aimed to address through the infrastructure and family support plans proposed by President Biden.
“The disappointing April jobs report highlights the urgent need to pass President Biden’s American Jobs and Families Plans,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in response to the report.
She said the evidence shows that women and working families need the enhancements to child care, education and other issues provided by Biden’s proposals, and that this would in turn create jobs and help the economy.
Vice President Harris echoed the call for furthering such investments. “There are still two million fewer women in the workforce today,” she said. “More action is needed.”
President Biden said the report proved critics of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill wrong for suggesting that the economy didn’t need that level of stimulus.
“Today’s report just underscores, in my view, how vital the actions we're taking are,” he said.
It’s just one report
While the April jobs report was universally seen as a disappointment, economists by and large agree that one month does not a trend make.
“It may be bumpy from month to month for a variety of factors,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Friday. “One should never take one month’s data as an underlying trend.”
As more data becomes available, analysts will be able to sharpen their views as to what is causing the labor market to hold back.
Updated data on job openings and labor turnover is expected next week, which could shed light on the question of labor shortages.
And monthly jobs reports are often the subjects of revision, with even hundreds of thousands of jobs sometimes added or subtracted from reports.
Watch live: Biden delivers remarks after disappointing April jobs...Economy adds 266K jobs in April, far below expectations
Beth Ann Bovino, chief U.S. economist of S&P Global Ratings, noted that there was also plenty of good news hiding underneath the somber headline numbers in the jobs report.
It showed that 430,000 people rejoined the labor force, average weekly hours climbed, and average hourly earnings spiked to 0.7 percent month-over-month.
Hillary Clinton says the election was "stolen" from her by a lying* Trump who cynically took advantage of a media that gave him far too much free publicity.
She has NEVER claimed that Trump did not legitimately win the electoral vote (even while he lost the popular vote by 3 million).

Hobbs, a Democrat and the state’s top election official, said Thursday that a man had called her office “saying I deserve to die and wanting to know ‘what she is wearing so she’ll be easy to get.’” Hobbs said that “it was one of at least three such threats today.”
The secretary of state added that she and a staffer were later “chased” outside their office by a man she didn’t know.
It appears that the man who chased Hobbs was Jordan Conradson, who identifies himself as a reporter for Gateway Pundit,

Governor Gretchen Whitmer Reportedly Borrowed A Private Jet For Secret Florida Trip During Lockdown
A spokesman for Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer confirmed in April that Whitmer flew to Florida while instructing Michiganders to stay home while under COVID-19 lockdown orders. Now, a new report indicates Whitmer contacted wealthy Detroit businessmen to lend a private plane.
Spokesman Bobby Leddy said the governor traveled on three occasions to Florida to visit her elderly father. The governor’s office claimed taxpayer money was not used for travel. Deadline Detroit reports Whitmer avoided a private plane fee in the range of $10,000 to $20,000 by asking billionaires to provide a charter. The jet she took would have allegedly ran her a fee of $40,000, an estimated 25 percent of Whitmer’s salary before taxes.
“We wondered why she reached out to us instead of booking a private charter,” one of the owners of the plane said. “You can’t tell a governor no. Who needs that kind of trouble?”
The governor was asked about the report Thursday and declined to provide information as to whether she reimbursed the Detroit businessmen.

U.S.—A surprising new study released Friday found that paying people not to work made people not want to work.
Amid shockingly low job numbers released today, the study suggested that some of that low unemployment was due to the government sending everyone more money than they would have made out working a job. Some smart expert analysts are seeing a connection between incentivizing people to stay home and them staying home.
"It's really bizarre -- telling people to stay home and watch Netflix while we send them money makes people just stay home and watch Netflix while we send them money," said one government official. "It seems that when you just send people checks they don't really see a point to going to work."
"We could not possibly have foreseen this."
At publishing time, experts had recommended raising the minimum wage to $1,000,000 an hour to incentivize people to go back to work, foreseeing no negative consequences from this course of action.
🐝, satire, with some facts.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Standing on the shoulders of all the brave souls through the centuries who fought for equality, American liberals have finally smashed that glass ceiling in with a curling iron. At long last, the term woman (probably a Don Draper invention) will be replaced with a term that expresses true appreciation for all that the female sex entails: “Child Factory Who Bleeds”.
Liberals for years have been trying to throw off the shackles of bigoted terminology, but could never quite figure out how to encompass femininity without resorting to that awful term. The change has, of course, come as welcome news to the people who every day have their eye sockets burned by the term “women” when going to use the bathroom. Instead, trans people will lead better, fuller lives by the constant public reminders of menstruation.
In D.C. a confusing scene broke out as liberals in Handmaid’s Tale outfits gathered to chant “Ba-by, Fac-tor-y! Ba-by Fac-tor-y!”. Reporters initially thought they were protesting abortion restrictions, and claiming men only saw them as baby-makers. The liberal females were, in fact, claiming to just be baby-makers. “We don’t need men to tell us we are baby factories! We can reduce ourselves to baby factories! Babies!!!” screamed the ‘Handmaids’.
Vice President Kamala Harris showed up to the gathering to make a speech: “To think of all the repression we have, at last, overcome - why just last week I was being referred to as ‘Madame’ Vice President, as if my sex was intelligible outside of my ability to make babies - HAHA!”, she cackled. “In my America, every little clump of cells deserves to dream of one day being the ‘Child Factory Vice President Who Bleeds’ - that is, if we don’t crush that baby’s skull first - HAHAHAHA!!”
American Stupidity.
The other day, for the first time since March 2020, I embarked on a journey outside of the slave state of California. My wife and I drove to Montana. While I had heard tales of the existence of freedom in other states, I had yet to experience the thing firsthand.
My experience in Montana confirmed what I have long suspected and known, but not witnessed or experienced for myself—that there are two Americas and two very different types of Americans. There are free states and slave states. There are fearful, obedient slaves, and fearless, free Americans.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) was not about to let an upstart like Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) outmaneuver him in pandering to President Donald Trump’s base of support. So when Hawley announced a few days before Congress met to affirm the 2020 electoral college votes that he would object to the vote totals from Pennsylvania, Cruz put together a contingent of senators to make the same promise.
The group, Cruz’s office explained in a statement, was “acting not to thwart the democratic process, but rather to protect it.” That assurance, buried at the bottom of the lengthy missive, was meant to address the obvious concern that blocking the counting of electoral votes ran the (infinitesimal) risk of derailing the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden, who, by all objective accounts, had clearly won the race. But Cruz and the gang insisted that because the election “featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities,” they had no choice but to throw up the stop sign.
In slave states like California, men, women, and children have not tasted the sweet fruit of freedom for a long time. Worse, many children have never tasted it. The danger of this cannot be overstated. While our natural state is freedom, tyrants have always tried to confine mankind to an unnatural state of slavery.
The mask mandates are not merely an inconvenience, but a threat to the American way of life. Religious and zealous mask-wearing represent a regressive mentality of the citizen to once again adopt their role as servant and view the government as master.
Mask mandates are not merely a mandate to cover one’s face, but a mandate to abandon our long climb from the swamp to the stars. The longer Californians, and others, live under this kind of tyranny, the more likely they are to accept their unnatural state
He's right.
American stupidity.

Why So Many Voters WANT to Be Lied To
Ruth Ben-Ghiat:
“Often, people just want to believe the liar. Personality cults increase the leader’s credibility, since they present him as possessed of special powers or ruling with a divine mandate, making him seem infallible.
"Strongmen also know how to be persuasive, especially if they previously worked as journalists (Mussolini and the Congo’s Mobutu Sese Seko), in television (Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi and Trump) or were professional dissemblers (Putin was a KGB case officer). These practiced liars work hard to seem authentic.
“Moreover, once people bond with the leader, they may be inclined to dismiss any evidence that conflicts with his claims, or overlook contradictions in his messages. They believe him because they believe in him. Or, in an interesting twist, they know he is lying, but they decide that they don’t care: better him than his enemy (who, as they have been taught to believe, lies even more). And some people actually approve of all the lying, seeing it as rule-breaking by a rogue they adore.”

At 6:31 in the morning on November 4th, a dump of 149,772 votes came in to the State of Michigan. Biden received 96% of those votes and the State miraculously went to him. Has the Michigan State Senate started their review of the Fraudulent Presidential Election of 2020 yet, or are they about to start? If not, they should be run out of office. Likewise, at 3:42 in the morning, a dump of 143,379 votes came in to the state of Wisconsin, also miraculously, given to Biden. Where did these “votes” come from? Both were State Election changing events, and that is on top of the other corruption without even including the fact that neither state got Legislative approval, which is required under the United States Constitution.

Well, it's no mystery. Liberals are clueless when it comes to economics and free markets, and they despise capitalism. John Maynard Keynes has been proven wrong in a spectacular fashion countless times. Yet here we are. Spending up to $6 TRILLION with absolutely nothing to show for it. We have an "infrastructure" bill that's 5% infrastructure and 95% welfare. Inflation of very necessary commodities is rising sharply hitting the poor and lower middle class the hardest like it ALWAYS does.
And the best liberals can muster is to plagiarize what little positive economic news that's out there and pathetically give Dementia Joe credit for it. The same Dementia Joe who says the piss-poor jobs report means we need to blow another $4 - $6 TRILLION because the first pile he pissed away was not enough.
2022 can't come fast enough. The problem is just how much damage these idiots can do in the interim.
It's fitting that Stairmaster Joe visited Jimmy Carter as we are in the midst of Jimmy Carter 2.0.
Two and a half years before former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin became a household name for holding his knee on the neck of George Floyd, Jr., Chauvin did something else which has now landed him in legal jeopardy: he held his knee on the neck of a Minneapolis teenager. That incident, which occurred September 4, 2017, is now the subject of a second federal civil rights indictment against Chauvin — on top of the federal charges Chauvin faces in George Floyd’s death.
Like Floyd, the still-unknown 14-year-old in Chauvin’s second federal indictment told officers that he could not breathe, according to court filings. The boy’s mother also is said by Minnesota state prosecutors to have pleaded for Chauvin to take his knee off her son.
“About one minute later, the child’s mother pointed out that her son had said he could not breathe, and told Chauvin again to take his knee off the child as he was already handcuffed,” Minnesota prosecutors wrote in a little-noticed filing back in November. “Chauvin replied that he was a big guy and did not move.”
Chauvin’s second indictment—filed Thursday, May 6 but unsealed on Friday, May 7—contains but a brief reference to the facts of the Sept. 2017 case. It also does not contain the name of the juvenile suspect Chauvin held to the ground.
“Defendant Chauvin, without legal justification, held Juvenile 1 by the throat and struck Juvenile 1 multiple times in the head with a flashlight,” the first count of the indictment reads. “This offense included the use of a dangerous weapon — a flashlight — and resulted in bodily injury to Juvenile 1.”
The second count contains a few additional facts.
“Defendant Chauvin held his knee on the neck and the upper back of Juvenile 1 even after Juvenile 1 was lying prone, handcuffed, and unresisting,” the indictment continues. “This offense resulted in bodily injury to Juvenile 1.”
Both the indictment and a Department of Justice press release state that the juvenile was fourteen years old at the time and was a resident of Minneapolis.
Previous court documents filed in Chauvin’s separate state murder cases explain the incident further.
A Memorandum of Law in Support of Other Evidence filed by state prosecutors on October November 12, 2020, recounts the Sept. 2017 incident this way — but it’s a description the state eventually walked back:
Chauvin was dispatched to a domestic assault call. The alleged victim told the officers that she had been assaulted by her two minor children, a son and daughter. The officers located the juvenile male laying on the floor in the back of the house. The officers advised the juvenile male that he was under arrest, but he did not comply with commands and directions from the officers. According to Chauvin, the juvenile male “then displayed active resistance to efforts to take him into custody” by “flailing his arms around.” The juvenile male, whom Chauvin described as “approximately 6’2” and at least 240 pounds,” backed himself into a corner and “stretched his legs forward.” Chauvin attempted to grab the juvenile male’s arms, but he would “continue to struggle and flail his arms around.” In his report, Chauvin wrote that he believed the juvenile male would “escalate his efforts to not be arrested,” and because of the juvenile male’s large size, Chauvin “deliver[ed] a few strikes to [the juvenile male] to impact his shoulders and hopefully allow control to be obtained.” Chauvin believed the juvenile male was “still providing active resistance,” but another officer was able to get one handcuff on the juvenile male. As the male kept pulling his arms in front of his body, Chauvin “applied a neck restraint,” and then was “able to roll [the juvenile male] onto his stomach and grab his left wrist so that cuffing could be completed.” Chauvin then “used body weight to pin [the juvenile male] to the floor.” During this time, the alleged victim came into the room and yelled at the officers. The juvenile male had blood coming from his left ear, so the officers requested an ambulance. Paramedics determined that the juvenile male needed stitches, and he was transported to the Hennepin County Medical Center.

Andy McCarthy:
[L]et’s think about dual sovereignty. While it is permissible for the feds to prosecute after the state has done so, such prosecutions are rare because Justice Department guidelines discourage them. Trying a person two times for the same offense understandably strikes Americans as unfair, even if it is technically constitutional. As a result, the Justice Department permits a second prosecution only sparingly: when the failure to prosecute would result in a grievous miscarriage of justice — generally because the state proceedings were somehow flawed, or because, absent prosecution, some important federal interest will not be vindicated.
That is not the George Floyd situation.
State convictions and stiff sentences against the former police officers in this case would easily satisfy federal concerns. The theory of the state prosecutions is that, even though George Floyd was lawfully arrested and detained, police exploited their detention authority, abusing his rights to (a) be subjected to only reasonable (not excessive) force, and (b) have police protect his right to life. Chauvin was found guilty of those abuses, and it is highly likely that the other three former officers will be, too.
Minnesota’s holding the ex-cops accountable thus fully vindicates the federal interest in promoting policing that meets U.S. constitutional standards. That interest is the only rationale for permitting a limited federal intrusion into a sovereign state responsibility, the policing of local communities.
Federal prosecution here would violate the spirit of the Double Jeopardy Clause (though not its letter) toward no meaningful end. It would not result in longer sentences. It would not fulfill unsatisfied federal interests. And it could actually undermine accountability.
I agree with everything except the last sentence. The credibility of the Junkie Floyd case was actually destroyed by the judge before it began. Then we were treated to several assclown state expert witnesses, and it was all capped off when we discovered the jury was tainted with some black LIES matter scumbag.
Chauvin has an extremely good case for a second trial. The federal prosecution effort tacitly acknowledges this which forms the basis for their effort.
Chauvin has an extremely good case for a second trial.
Fuck him.....fuck andy McCarthy and lastly fuck you!!!!!!! The other 3 cops deserve to serve in cells right next to Derek so they can all commiserate on killing Floyd!!!!
den's DOJ will arrive very soon to stop an audit authorized by the state of Arizona.
