The Brexit Party Is Partying Like It’s 2014

Brexit champion Nigel Farage, who led the United Kingdom Independence Party to victory in the European Parliamentary Elections in 2014, has done it again. As leader of the grassroots Brexit Party, which only officially launched on April 12, easily won the 2019 version, as both the establishment “Conservatives” and Labor suffered humiliating defeats. With some votes still being tabulated in the proportional representation election, the Brexit Party appears to have captured 30 or so seats in the 73-member U.K. delegation to the Brussels-based European Union. The Brexit Party campaigned on leaving the EU on a no-deal, World Trade Organization basis so that the U.K. can once again resume its status as an independent country. read more

Trump White House Launches Tech Bias Website: Now What?

What’s the Story with Judge Andrew Napolitano of Fox News?

Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano went from a pro-Trump libertarian to a vocal Never Trumper who has criticized the president for “immoral” and “condemnable” conduct as portrayed in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report. With the ascendancy of the Murdoch bros, Fox News is moving liberal outside of prime time. Maybe the ex-judge changed his tune for a paycheck; in addition to several anchors on Fox, lots of Trump bashers who regularly appear CNN and MSNBC have done the same. It also wouldn’t be the first time since Donald Trump won the White House that a personal vendetta masquerades as news analysis, if not fake news. read more

‘Big Tech Censorship Is Election Meddling and a Civil Rights Violation’

The owner of the irreverent, muckraking Turtleboy Sports blog knows a thing or two, to borrow language from that TV commercial for an insurance company, about online censorship. The entertaining and provocative Massachusetts-based investigative journalism portal — plus its slightly toned down, less vulgar TB Daily News version — focuses mainly on municipal corruption, felonious activity, and welfare scammers and assorted “hoodrats,” rather than sports. Given that the big social media networks have repeatedly de-platformed Turtleboy Sports and associated sites, owner “Uncle Turtleboy” claims that he “invented” tech censorship. read more
