“Vivek Ramaswamy has been an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump, but that wasn’t good enough for Trump, who recently unloaded on Vivek as a duplicitous, sneaky character. Guest host Russell Dobular is joined by Due Dissidence’s Keaton Weiss and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger to discuss Vivek’s last-minute pitch for voters to choose him as the best way to help Trump.”

Oh yeah…now I remember why I don’t like Vivek…

“Hey Everyone, my name is Eric and Welcome to What Did I Miss, where today I am going to discuss all four Star Trek films that are currently in some state of production. Just this last week, two movies were announced that fans did not even know about, and since then I have seen a lot of questions online about what is going on with Star Trek. So I thought I would break down each film, where it is in terms of production, as well as when and where we can expect to see it.”

This is very old news, but still worth documenting.

“Darryn Walker did not enter a plea and was sent for trial in March next year after the prosecution decided to charge him under the “Obscene Publications Act 1959”. This is the first prosecution for written material under this law since 1991.

Walker allegedly wrote and published a story called Girls (Scream) Aloud – about pop group “Girls Aloud” – on the internet. The story describes in detail the kidnap, rape, mutilation and murder of the band members and ends with the sale of various body parts on eBay. The story was then published on the Usenet groups, in the “alt.sex” discussion groups, where it was seen by the Internet Watch Foundation, who alerted police.”


He was ultimately cleared.

02) Blogger who wrote about killing girl band cleared

“A blogger who was charged with obscenity after he wrote an erotic story detailing the kidnap, sexual torture and murder of the pop group Girls Aloud was cleared at court yesterday after prosecutors offered no evidence against him.

Darryn Walker’s case was the first time that the 1959 Obscene Publications Act had been applied to written material on the internet.

His case was regarded as a test which could have had far-reaching ramifications for bloggers and publishers of online fiction.

But yesterday, on what was supposed to be the first day of Mr Walker’s trial, the case was abandoned following the introduction of evidence from an information technology expert.

The Crown Prosecution Service said it originally charged Mr Walker believing that the story, called “Girls (Scream) Aloud”, could be easily accessed by young fans of the group.

But the IT expert said this was not the case and that the article could only be found by those who were specifically searching for such material.

Unable to refute this, the CPS surrendered the case.

It brought an end to a saga which started more than a year ago and was seen as one of the most significant censorship cases since the publisher Penguin was prosecuted for sanctioning DH Lawrence’s novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover in 1960.”

“What’s America Thinking? Host Julia Manchester and staff writer for The Hill Cate Martel talk about how voters in New Hampshire care more about the health of democracy, ranking it as the top issue, surpassing the economy.

What’s America Thinking? is a lively, informative show that leans into why Americans are so fed up with government and its inability to make their lives better. We’ll focus on the people behind the polls, pocketbook issues, the disconnect between Washington and Main Street – what Americans are REALLY thinking!”
