    A federal court has confirmed a $5 million arbitration judgment against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.

    In a 12-page order released on Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge John Tunheim upheld a ruling that found Lindell must pay $5 million to cybersecurity expert Robert Zeidman, who responded to a contest to prove the pillow executive had not obtained evidence from the 2020 election.

    Lindell over to pay the prize to anybody who successfully proved it — and Zeidman did.

     
    wasn't even sure where to put this

    So a grateful gratuity?
    ========================

    North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson has an unconventional proposal to end the reparations debate once and for all.

    What if instead of Black Americans being compensated for the atrocities of slavery — Black people paid reparations?

    Robinson, who is Black, is currently running for North Carolina governor.“If you want to tell the truth about it, it is you who owes,” said Robinson during the 2021 North Carolina Republican Party Convention, seemingly referring to Black Americans. “Why do you owe? Because somebody in those fields took strikes for you. After those fields were ended and slavery was ended, somebody had to walk through Jim Crow for you. Somebody fought wars and died for you. Somebody lived less than because they didn’t have what you have, and they did it for you. There are people in their graves right now, and they are there because they were willing to stand up and fight for you.”..........

    I've never understood why any black politician ever says the word "reparations". Do they not understand it's a complete, total, 100% nonstarter?
    No nonblack person is ever going to volunteer to pay for things their ancestors had nothing to do with.

    Isn't Cybersecurity the company Republicans hired to prove electrion fraud and eded up not not only not finding any, finding extra votes for Biden in the Process?
    Talk about a slap in the face...

    As a Florida elementary school tries to contain a growing measles outbreak, the state’s top health official is giving advice that runs counter to science and may leave unvaccinated children at risk of contracting one of the most contagious pathogens on Earth, clinicians and public health experts said.

    Florida surgeon general Joseph A. Ladapo failed to urge parents to vaccinate their children or keep unvaccinated students home from school as a precaution in a letter to parents at the Fort Lauderdale-area school this week following six confirmed measles cases.

    Instead of following what he acknowledged was the “normal” recommendation that parents keep unvaccinated children home for up to 21 days — the incubation period for measles — Ladapo said the state health department “is deferring to parents or guardians to make decisions about school attendance.”

    The controversial move by Ladapo follows a pattern of bucking public health norms, particularly when it comes to vaccines. Last month, he called for halting the use of mRNA coronavirus vaccines, in a move decried by the public health community.

    Ben Hoffman, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said Florida’s guidance flies in the face of long-standing and widely accepted public health guidance for measles, which can result in severe complications, including death.

    “It runs counter to everything I have ever heard and everything that I have read,” Hoffman said. “It runs counter to our policy. It runs counter to what the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] would recommend.”

    Measles outbreaks have been on the rise in recent years. So far in 2024, at least 26 cases in at least 12 states have been reported to the CDC, about double the number at this point last year. In addition to the six cases confirmed in the Florida school, cases have been reported in Arizona, California, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York City, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.............

    Jordan Green reports on extremists for the news website Raw Story, where his stories have included alleged neo-Nazis joining the U.S. military or protesting at drag shows.

    For the past few months, he has worked on an investigation into a teenage gang that local police had linked to a spate of racist vandalism, including a brick attack on a Jewish center in Pensacola, Fla.
As Green prepared to publish his story, neo-Nazis came to his house.


    Green’s reporting had found that the Pensacola gang was part of a larger online network known as 2119 Blood and Soil Crew, with members operating in several states. On Feb. 10, five people connected to 2119 appeared outside his home in Greensboro, N.C., according to Green, as well as photos the group itself shared on social media.


    Some wore skull face masks, a common accessory for violent neo-Nazi groups, according to the photos they posted on Telegram, a social media messaging app popular with far-right extremists.

    One had a shirt with a skull and a message praising the Einsatzkommando, German death squads in the Holocaust.

    Another held a sign aimed at Green: “Freedom of press does not equal freedom from consequences.”

    Before leaving, the group held up lit flares and made “sieg heil” gestures, the photos showed. Afterward, members of the group posed happily in a picture posted to social media at a marker for the “Greensboro Massacre,” the site where white supremacists fatally shot five labor organizers in 1979.


    “Opposition move freely when they feel immune,” a member posted on the group’s Telegram account. “Remove that privilege.”

    The intended message was obvious to Green: Stop reporting on 2119. But Green hasn’t been deterred. On Tuesday, Raw Story published Green’s investigation into 2119, as well as Green’s account of the attempted intimidation.


    “The amount of harassment and threats kind of validates the importance of the story,” Green told The Washington Post.


    The attacks on Green represent an increasingly common tactic by extremist groups against journalists who seek to uncover their activities.


    In 2020, federal prosecutors charged five alleged members of the neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division with intimidating a ProPublica reporter and other journalists covering the group by “swatting” them, or faking emergency calls to police to provoke a violent response against their targets.

    In 2023, the former head of another neo-Nazi group was charged with making death threats toward a reporter, which included allegedly sending an image of a gun aimed at the reporter’s face.
In an email to The Post, the 2119 group insisted that its actions didn’t constitute harassment and claimed that Green’s reporting “could damage the lives and reputations of many well-respected men within their communities.”

    Green’s article identifies several alleged members of 2119 by name, and it reports that the FBI is investigating the group………

    Then they shouldn't be forking neo-Nazi shirtheads. Seems simple to me.
     
    These people are actually crazy. It’s frightening.


    You say crazy, I'd say they are just stupid! It's way past time we hold these idiotic trump supporters accountable for him even being a candidate.

    That's the wrong people.

    It's really just one person. One traitorous turtle let it get this far.

    Sadly it's too late to hold Moscow Mitch accountable. He's won.
     
    The Surgeon General of FL belongs here. He’s going to get someone killed with his stupidity. Measles is no joke for the unvaccinated.
