    Has anybody in the MSM (Hey @VegasFrank, Mainstream Media) Has any of them said a peep about this settlement? CNN? NBC? Any of them? Or are they just pretending they didn't oppress and viciously slander a child? 
    Why am I being labeled the mainstream media guy?

    Wasn't it you, Frank, that asked once what MSM meant?

    I'm just glad that Bob spelled it out above.

    But Rodgers suggested that he is merely trying to make a point about cellphone use and doesn’t expect the measure to pass.

    "I have no delusions that it's going to pass," he told the Times Argus. "I wouldn't probably vote for it myself."

    It is all over YouTube.
    i have seen numerous stories on Fox.
    I have seen it on OAN.

    I asked if anybody had seen any MAINSTREAM MEDIA coverage of the Sandmann vs CNN settlement. The news outlets you list are considered conservative media, and the youtubes you alluded to are probably from conservative sources as well. I'm already well aware of conservative news coverage of the settlement.

    The point I was trying to make is
     that I am confident the MAINSTREAM MEDIA will largely ignore the settlement.

    and what "Pacific" answers is she looking for?  As in "Peaceable"?  or just mispronounced "Specific"?  And what is it that giggle-britches in the turban is so excited about?  And why is Jeff Ross the comedian there?

    Amazon fires employees for customer data leaks

    Jan. 12, 2020 4:28 AM ET|About: Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN)|By: Yoel Minkoff, SA News Editor 

    For the second time in a week, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has acknowledged that its workers improperly accessed customer data.

    On Friday, the company notified customers that it fired a number of employees after they shared customer email addresses and phone numbers with third parties.

    Amazon also fired four Ring employees last week for abusing their access to customers' video feeds and now limits "such data access to a smaller number of team members."

    Punk Rock Noise Machine Lets You Fall Asleep to Sound of Parents Arguing

    BY DAN RICE | MAY 13, 2017

    BOSTON — AggroNap, a noise machine sleep aid for people who grew up in broken homes, is set to hit the market after months of rigorous beta testing, according to developers.

    “There is a giant gap in the market. Traditionally, sleep noise machines replicate peaceful, tranquil sounds, like waves crashing on a beach—but we found people really want the comfort of the sleep from their youth,” said Maxwell Henderson, CEO of tech startup Conflict Ambience. “Our soundscape re-creates what so many of us fell asleep to in our early development: bickering, sobbing, thrown objects, and approaching police sirens, to name a few.”

    Test group feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

    “My old noise machine made whale sounds,” said tester Martin Hurley via survey. “I didn’t grow up around a lot of whales—I didn’t actually see the ocean until I ran away when I was 17. But I did grow up around a broken shell of a man, who blamed his shortcomings on a woman who was too scared to leave him. I’ve never slept so well as an adult.”

    “The sounds are really authentic!” said beta group member Stacey Osborne, who underwent a rigorous sleep study over six weeks. “My Aggronap simulated parents trying to be quiet but too angry to talk, so it’s just this muffled shouting match. The only escape is to surrender into a black, dreamless sleep. Anytime I hear the machine say, ‘Shut up, you’re going to wake the kids,’ I naturally force myself to fall asleep. I haven’t had this solid of a rest since high school.”

    Henderson claimed the current Aggronap model is just the beginning.

    “Currently, users can adjust the intensity of the argument, and there’s a switch you can flip to make the dad drunk,” said Henderson. “Aggronap 2.0 should have multiple argument option subjects, including relationship problems, blame for sibling drug abuse, or paying orthodontist bills. We hope to add sounds of late-night affairs, but the technology isn’t quite there yet.”

    Data collected from early adopters show no adverse side effects, though Henderson did note that 20 percent of the beta group started listening to The Cure again.

    Rep. Chip Roy: California's homeless crisis could be migrating to Austin – Here's how to tackle it

    Two more choices actually:
    1.     Extend the wall to cover the boarder of calalafornia.
    2.     Require passports and visas to leave calalafornia. Of course illegals will still cross, now  including all calalafornians, so number 1  will still be necessary.

    Hmm.  As much as I may question the sanity of California's legislative and judicial decisions, I think we should hang on to it.  It may indeed be the "land of fruits and nuts", but they're our fruits and nuts nonetheless.  Besides, the problem isn't local to only California.  Take a look at whats happening in Virginia these days, for example.  

    I don't know what the answer is, except maybe to return to education rather than indoctrination in the schools, but I don't think abandoning the starry-eyed wayward members of the family is the way to go.  

    And, I, for one, don't want to be walled in.

    If they succeed, be worried. Cause that will set a precedent and other states will follow.

    Agree.  Moved out of VA just in time.  Used to be a member of a Rod and Gun club there before I moved.  NRA HQ is just outside of DC in Fairfax, VA and I believe they have an indoor range there.

    This is aimed directly at the NRA's shooting range.  The commies even admit that it's a direct attack on the NRA.  Keep pushing you commie bastards.

    ^^^^^    Wonder how they'd shut down the private range on my wholly owned private acreage?   Or the ones all my neighbors have?
