Description:

I ll be running these polls from Friday through Thursday each week this month and a special poll from Friday through Monday before the electioTake Our PollI could have included Mike Pence, but does anyone think the Democrats could come up with something believable about him? Ego sic existimo, Brain si autem revertimus in English, hodie adhuc dies est integer cum -y. Twitter s ham-fisted attempt at censoring the New York Post has blown up in their face. @Jack tweeted this—I ve been sued for defamation because of posts here at Hogewash!, and I ve won all of those suits because the plaintiff was never able to show that anything I wrote was false. The truth or a reasonable opinion based on evidence can t be the basis for a defamation claim. The plaintiff also tried to claim that I was responsible for the content of remarks made by commenters here at Hogewash!, but Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provides immunity for website publishers from third-party content. Neither this site nor Twitter is responsible for what a third party posts.However, if Twitter adds context to a tweet or comments on it, Twitter will be responsible for what it posts—and could be held responsible for the its statements providing such context or commentary. By making its own comments, by speaking for itself, Twitter should become a speaker unprotected by Section 230 with respect to its own speech. Saying that an article contains hacked information when there is evidence that the information was obtained legally might be the sort of false statement that would trigger a defamation suit.Twitter needs to keep its users satisfied. It makes money by selling ads, and driving users away with unfair censorship policies isn t good for business. OTOH, keeping its users happy may make it difficult to operate as a progressive echo chamber, so we may have reached a market-based solution to Twitter s unfair treatment of a large group of its users, many of whom have been leaving for Gab and Parler. Section 230 may need some legislative tweaking based on lessons learned since it was enacted in 1996, but the market may more pressure more quickly to drive Twitter toward better behavior.Of course, Twitter may think that it is a monopoly that is too big to fail. That s what America Online AOL thought.Things are about to get interesting.Stay tuned. The MESSEGER spacecraft took this picture of a crater on Mercury.Behold—the Cookie Monster crater!Image Credit: NASA Seven years ago today, I was sitting in the lobby of the Carroll County Historic Court House waiting for a hearing related to the Hoge v. Schmalfeldt peace order, when Brett Kimberlin walked up to me and handed me an envelope. He was attempting to serve me with an amended copy of his Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. LOLsuit and effect initial service of his Kimberlin v. National Bloggers Club, et al. (I) RICO Madness LOLsuits. Service was defective in both cases because Kimberlin personally served me. Parties can t serve each other. If he d simply handed the envelope to my lawyer who was sitting next to me, the service would have been proper.This episode of Blogsmoke is from five years ago today.* * * * *SOUND: MODEM CONNECTING FADES UP TO FULL MIKE—SINGLE SHOT—RICHOCHETMUSIC: UP AND UNDER—RECORDED—CUT 1ANNOUNCER: (VOICE OVER MUSIC) Around Twitter Town and in the territory of the net—there’s just one way to handle the harassers and the stalkers—and that’s with an Internet Sheriff and the smell of “BLOGSMOKE”!MUSIC: THEME HITS: FULL BROAD SWEEP AND UNDER—RECORDED—CUT 2ANNOUNCER: “BLOGSMOKE” starring W.

To whom would you delegate the task of deciding for you what you could read?–Christopher Hitchens Joe Biden seems to be having trouble with his memory. He is not only forgetting what did, he appears to be having false memories as well. However, he does seem to remember what he heard listening to The Lone Ranger as a kid. The Lone Ranger never shot to kill. Indeed, he tried disarm his opponents as painlessly as possible, often shooting their guns out of their hands. Things may have worked that way on old time radio, but in the Real World, the basic accuracy of the Lone Ranger s Colt Single Action Army Revolvers and  round-to-round variability of even match quality ammunition makes repeatably hitting something the size of another handgun at range beyond a few feet statistically unlikely. One lucky shot, maybe. Two in a row, nope.Joe Biden says that cops should try to shoot people in the leg. He s wrong.Most defensive handgun shootings (whether by civilian police or other citizens) occur at ranges less than 25 feet. 21 feet is the distance often used for part of many handgun qualification course. Most people are doing well to keep all of their hits within a 6 inch group at that distance when shooting on a target range. Under the stress of a gunfight, most people don t do as well.Any gunshot at someone is a use of deadly force. It may be justified against an attacker; it s never justified against an innocent bystander. While a trained sniper with the proper equipment may be justified in taking a shot a a small target, most of us need to aim for something large. That s why the proper place for a cop to aim is for the center of mass, the torso. He s less likely to miss and risk injury to a bystander. Aiming for someone s leg risks missing with the certainty that the bullet will hit someone or something unintended. Of course, if a luck shot should land in the leg, the risk of hitting the femoral artery is substantial, and such a wound can cause someone to bleed to death very quickly. SocketSite reports that here is 11.8 million square feet of vacant office space in San Francisco. That s a bit more that 116 % of the total land area of the city, meaning there are a lot of empty floors in high rise buildings. I think so, Brain but it could be that a candidate who isn t saying much is really telling us what s on his mind. Team Kimberlin is a bunch of liars. For example, consider this Prevarication Du Jour from four years ago today.* * * * *Last year, Breitbart Unmasked Bunny Boy Unread falsely reported on what happened in the 13 March and 14 May hearings on the peace order petition that Brett Kimberlin filed against me. The accuracy of its reporting under its current retread editor is no better. Indeed, it may be worse.In fact, the court made no such finding.Of course, if the current editor of Breitbart Unmasked Bunny Billy Boy Unread believes that he can prove that I have engaged in stalking of the Kimberlin family, he can try to make that part of his defense in Hoge v. Kimberlin, et al. However, before he wastes his time, he might want to consider that when The Dread Pro-Se Kimberlin attempted to sue me for stalking in Kimberlin v. Walker, et al., he lost on summary judgment. Also, when he has tried raise the issue in further lawsuits, he lost again. More to the point, when TDPK filed his failed 2015 peace order petition, he alleged stalking as one of the bases, but the judge who reviewed his petition struck the stalking allegation from the temporary order.* * * * *Meanwhile, returning to 2020, the current Kimberlin-related news operation EuroMaidanPR has taken no notice of the Hunter Biden Ukraine story that broke in the NY Post yesterday,Hmmmmm. Don t think you are going to conceal thoughts by concealing evidence that they ever existed.—Dwight D. Eisenhower The Left has given up on any pretense of fair play for the coming election. They are lying brazenly, and they re pulled out all the stops on their Internet censorship. The censorship of this morning s Hunter Biden story from the NY Post by Facebook and Twitter show the Left really has reached the point where they feel they must use any means necessary to defeat Donald Trump.In order to confirm the censorship was happening, I attempted to post a link to the Biden story on Twitter. I was blocked.Then, I posted this tweet.Twitter has suspended the New York Post s account and suspended or locked the accounts of several people who tried to link to the Biden article, including White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. Twitter responded to users questions about the blocking and suspensions with tweets from @TwitterSafey containing various excuses, but while I was typing this post, this tweet from@Jack popped up in my timeline—Twitter may be feeling some heat, but I m pessimistic about their ultimate response. Based on my personal experience from having been unjustly banned for truthful reporting, I expect that Twitter will do its damnedest to continue its censorship. (I was banned for allegedly harassing Brett Kimberlin. I got the @wjjhoge account back when the false criminal complaint against me dropped for lack of evidence. I suspect that their lawyers figured out that I had an open-and-shut defamation case against them.)The Left has pushed all their chips out on the table. If Trump wins the election, I expect the Left, including Facebook and Twitter, will go down swinging. Things have gotten ugly; I m afraid they re about to get uglier. I think so, Brain but have you noticed how some people go from one failure to another with no lack of enthusiasm? As I ve noted before, ridicule has been an important part of my pushback against Brett Kimberlin s attempts at intimidation and harassment. This episode of Blogsmoke from four years ago today dealt with one example of my mocking him.* * * * *SOUND: MODEM CONNECTING FADES UP TO FULL MIKE—SINGLE SHOT—RICHOCHETMUSIC: UP AND UNDER—RECORDED—CUT 1ANNOUNCER: (VOICE OVER MUSIC) Around Twitter Town and in the territory of the net—there’s just one way to handle the harassers and the stalkers—and that’s with an Internet Sheriff and the smell of “BLOGSMOKE”!MUSIC: THEME HITS: FULL BROAD SWEEP AND UNDER—RECORDED—CUT 2ANNOUNCER: “BLOGSMOKE” starring W.

Kimberlin, et al. trial. This exchange occurred on Wednesday afternoon MR. KIMBERLIN: Do you, on your blog, do you have a character [unintelligible] and Internet sheriff, Blogsmoke?MR. HOGE: Ah, yes, um. A, um, website that I believe is associated with you called, ah, Breitbart Unmasked, ah, did a satirical piece about me, ah, trying to paint me as someone who’s the, ah, Internet sheriff and used the term Blogsmoke, and so I, ah, in return started a a feature that is a take off on the Gunsmoke radio program that was on in the ’50s. And, yes.MR. KIMBERLIN: So you see yourself as the Internet sheriff?MR. HOGE: No, I don’t. I consider it a way of poking fun at the people at Breitbart Unmasked by taking their idea and running with it and having a running gag that’s lasted for about two-and-a-half years now.MUSIC: SCENE BUMPER MUSIC—RECORDED—CUT 4ANNOUNCER: Autumn is here, and cool weather is settling in.

The world, unfortunately, rarely matches our hopes and consistently refuses to behave in a reasonable manner.—Stephen Jay Gould I think so, Brain but why do so many things that work in practice fail in theory? The Washington Free Beacon reports that Joe Biden claimed, I got raised in the black church, while speaking to a meeting of Jesse Jackson s Rainbow PUSH coalition. The church, Union Baptist Church, was an African-American church in Wilmington. Biden said he was involved with the church when he was involved in organizing anti-segregation protests in the early 1960s. Long-term members of the congregation have expressed their doubts about Biden s claims.Of course, Biden s memory is notoriously creative, and when reporters questioned Biden s claim in 1987 that he marched in the civil rights movement, he acknowledged that he wasn t an activist. He admitted his most significant experience with civil rights as a youth was when he worked at a majority-black swimming pool as a college sophomore in 1962.Navin Johnson was unavailable for comment. Stacy McCain and I have been podcasting for almost three years, and I ve had several questions about what microphones we use. We ve been using Electro-Voice RE50B mics. The RE50 is a ruggedized version of the classic 635A dynamic microphone. The mic element is internally shock mounted, and there is a built-in pop filter. It s an omnidirectional microphone, which means that it can be worked closely without significant bass boost. This allow me to get close to my mic without my bass voice becoming too muddy. If you re looking for a rugged microphone for speech applications, the RE50B is a good choice. I ve bought mine from Amazon.If you need a directional microphone, the AKG P220 cardioid is a good choice. With a external pop filter (like at the PEMOTech), I m able to work one as close as about a foot without too much bass boost. If I have to get closer, the P220 has a switchable bass cut filter that work very nicely. The P220 is a large-diameter condenser microphone and requires 48V phantom power. Again, I ve bought mine P220s from Amazon. Amazon also carries the AKG P420 which is a dual-capsule version of of the 220. The 420 can operate with either a cardioid, omnidirectional, or figure-8 pickup pattern.The links above will take you the Amazon pages for the microphones and the pop filter.

One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.—Golda Meir
