Let’s first get things in the correct perspective.  The loud voices of the far-left (Media Matters, Act Blue, Share Blue, and all sub-groups therein) do an excellent job pressuring private industry to go along with their cultural wokeisms.  They are a minority group, but they are loud and their Big Tech allies control the mechanisms that make the appearance of their voice seem bigger and larger than it is.

This approach has been progressively true since 2007.  As a consequence they have an organized activation system to immediately target corporations to put pressure on them to respond to the approved politics of the left.

In the aftermath of the 2020 election, the Georgia legislature went to work reforming their election laws to make voter fraud harder, and election integrity a priority.  This triggered the activist network; who then notify their leftist subsidiaries to swarm their corporate contacts.  Now we are seeing the results of that activation.

What results is a major hypocritical position from the corporations who concede to the demands of the wokeists.  Delta airlines puts out a statement against the Georgia election reform… but you need an ID to board a Delta flight.  Apple puts out a statement deriding the Georgia election reform…. but you need an Apple ID to engage with Apple products, and there’s a password on an Apple phone for a reason, DUH!

But yet again, always remember…. In order for the far left to advance their political ideology they have to pretend not to know things.  That is the essential underpinning of the hypocrisy they must ignore.

Interestingly, the alphabet narrative engineers are focused on this trial as they were with George Zimmerman. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is charged in the May 25, 2020, death of George Floyd.

Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, who died in custody.

Forensic evidence showed that George Floyd died from a “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression.” Other significant conditions were listed as “arteriosclerotic and hypertensive heart disease; fentanyl intoxication; recent methamphetamine use.” (link)

A memorandum filed by the Hennepin County Attorney’s office on June 1 indicated that chief medical examiner Dr. Andrew Baker, who listed Floyd’s death as a homicide, thought the amount of fentanyl in Floyd’s blood was “pretty high” and could be “a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances.” “[Dr. Baker] said that if Mr. Floyd had been found dead in his home (or anywhere else) and there were no other contributing factors he would conclude that it was an overdose death,” the memo said.

Yesterday featured testimony as prosecutors continued laying out their case against Chauvin. Jurors watched body camera videos of Floyd’s fatal police encounter. One bystander witness broke down in tears on the stand after watching footage showing officers attempting to force Floyd inside a squad car. Charles McMillian, who was on the sidewalk during the struggle, said he felt “helpless.”

On this day Catholics celebrate the institution of the Eucharist, as well as the establishment of the Sacrament of the priesthood. Jesus willingly offers himself up at the Last Supper.

After sundown, the Holy Thursday Liturgy takes place, the beginning of the sacred Triduum, the three holiest days we observe as Christians. No Mass will be celebrated again until the Easter Vigil Mass, when we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus.

Last year we Christians had just been deprived of our right to worship together in our churches. The priests celebrated this mass alone, and we watched from home, heartbroken and also alone.

This year we return to our churches, and Christians will joyfully celebrate the Resurrection. I invite you now to spend these three days in deeper preparation and longing, opening your heart, readying yourself for Christ.

In these next days can we be better models of Christ? Can we take extra time to offer kindness, help someone in need, pray for our fellow man, reach out to someone who might like to go to Easter services with us?

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Facebook and Instagram have banned all sharing of President Trump (or his surrogates that speak on his behalf) from their platform.  Here is the interview that precipitated their action.

.

Wherever and whenever possible, throw sand into the BIG TECH machine…  Advance the message.  Rally to the standard.

The radical leftists (communists) are scared.  Control is a reaction to fear. (more…)

Wow.  Big Tech is taking the censorship and deplatforming of President Donald J Trump to entirely new levels according to new information provided by Eric Trump.  In  a twitter message today, Eric Trump shares the following:

This is quite a stunning statement from Facebook; even considering the prior ideological position(s) of Big Tech.

If the message is accurate, anyone who speaks on behalf of Donald Trump, and/or anyone show shares communication, statements or official replies from the “voice” of Donald Trump, will have their content removed.  This applies to any/all campaign surrogates and spokespeople for President Trump.
