Once again …
… the Left’s real life behavior makes satirizing them practically impossible.

Ruh Roh!
Some guy made a GIF showing Trump wrestling with CNN and posted it on Reddit.
CNN got their tender, thin-skinned panties in a bunch, tracked the guy down, and forced him to publish an apology!
Notice how they say “Exclusive”, like they’re PROUD of the fact that their multi-billion dollar conglomerate targeted a private citizen for posting a funny piece of political satire on the internet.
CNN also threatened to dox* the offender if he should ever step one toe out of line again.
*dox (däks) search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the Internet, typically with malicious intent.
IOW, “We accept your apologies but reserve the right to completely ruin your life.”
And the media wonders why we hate them.
Hey CNN, did you check with your legal department before you threatened to dox this guy? Ummmmmm … that would be a no.
Ted Cruz posted the following in a series of tweets:
Troubling. I assume CNN’s lawyers are examining GA § 16-8-16 Theft by extortion. If CNN constructively obtained the gif-maker’s IP, it’s a GA crime if they threatened to “Disseminate any information tending to subject any person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule.”
Another relevant crim law: NY § 135.60: “A person is guilty of coercion in the second degree when he…induces a person to abstain from engaging in conduct in which he…has a legal right to engage…by means of instilling…a fear…the actor will expose a secret or publicize an asserted fact, whether true or false, tending to subject some person to hatred, contempt or ridicule.”
Plus, the guy CNN targeted was apparently not the person who originated the content. According to an investigation by BuzzFeed, the original piece was a YouTube video with audio. The guy CNN targeted turned part of it into a GIF.
Even worse, it seems that CNN knew the GIF wasn’t the original, but they couldn’t find whoever made the YouTube video, so they stomped their big old jackboot down on the neck of the GIF maker.
CNN used to be about journalism. Now it’s just a fascist organization publishing left-wing agitprop.*
*agitprop: political (originally communist) propaganda.

Just some stuff while I take a break
Backing up my computer is so booooooooooooooooooring. Hope y’all had a good 4th! We had superb weather and a relaxing day. The kids called and sent pics of their kids. What else do two old farts like us need? NOTHING. 🙂
OBAMA // When Donald Trump won the election last fall, many people wondered if Obama would be as courteous as his predecessor George W. Bush. Would Obama be able to fade into the background and stay out of policy debates? Now we know the answer is no. The spotlight is simply too alluring for Obama, who revels in attention. http://legalinsurrection.com/2017/07/obama-is-trying-to-undermine-trump/
NORKS // Communist North Korea successfully test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile, U.S. officials confirm. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/07/04/north-korea-claims-to-have-test-launched-its-first-icbm.html
CHARLIE GARD // President Trump tweets support for very sick baby Charlie Gard. “If we can help little Charlie Gard, as per our friends in the U.K. and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so,” Trump said. The parents have raised $1.8 million to bring him to the United States, but British courts refuse to allow the move and have ordered him taken off life support. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/trump-tweets-support-terminally-sick-baby-charlie-gard-n779271?cid=sm_npd_nn_fb_nn
CHARLIE GARD // British doctors won’t let Charlie Gard travel to Rome to the Pope’s hospital for care. This is just bizarre, and sickening. Remember this case when people push for government-run single payer health care. https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2017/07/04/popes-hospital-says-uk-doctors-wont-let-charlie-gard-travel-care/
ANTI-CATHOLIC // Boston Public Library has blasphemous drag queen “nuns” read to children to close out “Pride Month.” https://churchpop.com/2017/07/02/boston-library-has-anti-catholic-drag-queens-read-to-children-for-pride-month/

MALFUNCTION! MALFUNCTION!
I’ll be back to work here full time as soon as my new puter arrives and I’ve programmed it and loaded my data files and figured out how to use the new OS. I am deeply grateful to Dearest for scrounging me a spare monitor* so I can get my unbupped data files bupped** and to the Buzzers for offering me their previous gen laptop for free.***
* Mr. T’s monitor bit the dust, but the hard drive still functions … for now. Given its geriatric condition, I’m biting the upgrade bullet before Mr. T goes deaf and dumb, as well as blind.
** BUP = Backed Up at Casa Hyphen.
*** It’s so handy to have generous offspring who let me have their old stuff when they upgrade! 🙂

CNN: 17 million VERY FAKE Twitter followers
- Only 52% of CNN’s Twitter followers are verified Twitter users.
- By contrast, 96% of Breitbart’s Twitter followers are verified users.
TwitterAudit sorts real from fake followers by checking the number of tweets posted, the date of the latest tweet, and the ratio of followers to friends. Their aim is to tell what Twitter users have increased their follower counts by dishonest means.

Acting FBI Director McCabe under federal investigation
The Hatch Act prohibits FBI agents from campaigning in partisan races. In 2015, Andrew McCabe campaigned on behalf of his wife Jill when she was running for Virginia state senate.
Jill McCabe also took nearly $500,000 in campaign donations from a PAC that is affiliated with Bill and Hillary Clinton, calling her husband’s impartiality into question regarding the FBI’s investigation into Hillary’s emails when she was Obama’s Secretary of State.

The Golden Rule
He who has the gold makes the rules.
While Republicans in-fight over health care, liberals in Congress are getting bolder and calling for even greater government control over health care decisions. Liberal Senator Elizabeth Warren is telling fellow Democrats to campaign on single-payer (government-run) health care for the 2018 elections. “Now is the time for the next step,” said Warren. “And the next step is single payer.” http://cvote.it/2snVAFe
A court in Europe says a child has to be removed from life support — despite the fact that the child’s parents raised $1.6 million to take care of little Charlie. “If the State runs the health care system, ultimately they will be the ones who decide whose life is worth saving and whose isn’t. That’s not just a byproduct of socialized medicine — it’s the point,” writes Matt Walsh. http://cvote.it/2so8PWv
