Mick wants rockers to get off of your cloud
Silvio Canto, Jr. - American Thinker
Furthermore, I paid for a ticket to hear you sing, not hear your political views. Who cares what Mick Jagger or Bruce Springsteen have to say anyway?
"Mick Jagger has a message for his fellow rockers: Stay out of politics. Fans don’t wanna hear it. Mick wants them to remember that song about leaving people alone, i.e., “Hey (hey), you (you), get off of my cloud, get off of my cloud.”
"It’s refreshing, and a realistic message from a man who’s performed before, thousands of times. Let’s check it out
:Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger says concertgoers want to escape from politics and everyday worries rather than sit through political speeches.Jagger made the remarks during an interview on The New York Times podcast after being asked about Bruce Springsteen, who has repeatedly used his current
tour to lambast President Trump.Host David Marchese noted that Springsteen ‘clearly sees his job as engaging in a meaningful back and forth’ with audiences before asking Jagger what his own relationship with fans means to him.Jagger said his priority is giving audiences a break from the outside world.‘The bottom line of my thing really is that my job in the live music world is [for] those people that come is to [sic] have the best time they possibly can,’ Jagger said.‘For two hours or whatever it is, to forget all their problems and the problems of the world and their mortgages and whatever, just to give them the best time they can have.’ . . .
. . . "They feel like you need to know their valuable opinion, then they can’t handle the reaction when fans say that they don’t care about their opinions. Again, the Dixie Chicks." . . .

Maine Trans Candidate to Replace Platner Vowed Not to Deceive, Then a Hilariously Glowed-Up Memoir Pic Surfaced
What has our nation become? "Glowed up":
. . ."Glow up is also used as a verb, as in I saw him glow up during high school. Less commonly, glow up is used in reference to more temporary transformations, such the application of makeup. The term is typically applied to people, but it’s sometimes applied to things, often to be somewhat humorous, as in This model is a major glow up from the last release."
"Indeed, voters deserve to see the real crop of candidates Democrats had waiting on the bench. The ones that were so bad that they clung to Platner for dear life, despite his never-ending sea of scandal."
"Last night’s Maine Democratic Senate debate to replace Graham Platner was a train wreck. Don't believe me? Feel free to check out this excellent rundown by my colleague, Nick Arama.
"Keep in mind that this not only looked like a train wreck, but it comes with the realization that this crop of misfit toys has only surfaced after the Democrats' previous muse, an accused rapist with a Nazi tattoo and an unhealthy fascination with portapotties, was forced out of the race.
"Among the new group was one candidate, Ashley Webb, who believes some of the best qualifications for serving in the Senate are writing songs and books.
"Oh, and transparency ... I guess?
"'I wouldn't lie to the people, and I wouldn't deceive the people like we are being deceived right now," Webb said" . . .
. . . The transgender Democrat running in the crowded replacement field has been promoting [this] memoir, "I Am Ashley", with an AI-generated image of a much younger, glamorized woman that bears almost no resemblance to the candidate.
And by "almost no resemblance," I mean "absolutely no resemblance."
Do not forget: Tunnel Wall: Maine Secretary of State Makes Legal Ruling Striking Trump from Ballot Based on YouTube Videos December 30, 2023
"The secretary of state, a Democrat whose social media is littered with photos of President Joe Biden, justified her ruling based on Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment’s “Insurrection Clause.” The statute has never been used to disqualify a president from the ballot and has generally been understood not to apply to the office of the president, although left-leaning plaintiffs have sued across the country in long-shot hopes of keeping Trump from appearing on primary ballots.
UN Ambassador Bursts Mamdani's Bubble Over His Wish to Arrest Israeli PM Netanyahu in NYC
"Wasn't it just a week ago when Mayor Mamdani's office got caught trying to meet with the Iranian ambassador? Who does that, and thinks it's in a city mayor's job description? Whether it's free public transit, government-run grocery stores, or arresting world leaders on behalf of an illegitimate world court, someone needs to put Mamdani in his place. It's been clear for a while now that he truly does not understand what the job is that he was hired to do."
"When will the members of the far-Left cabal learn? "
"New York City, as the home of the United Nations headquarters, is hosting the U.N. General Assembly in the fall. And Democratic Socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani expressed during a recent interview with a New York Times interviewer that he's holding onto a deeply-held wish and campaign promise: to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested when the world leader arrives in his city to attend it.
“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in the Hague,” Mr. Mamdani told Lulu Garcia-Navarro this week on “The Interview,” a New York Times show, referring to the home of the United Nations’ International Court of Justice.
“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court,” Mr. Mamdani added. “And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many, purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.”
"Mamdani wasn't finished, though, admitting that he's not 100 percent sure "whether he has the legal authority" to do it, and to that end, he's still consulting with his administration's Law Department.
"Netanyahu, meanwhile, told a WABC radio host that Mamdani's words make it clear to everyone whose side he's on - that of terrorists like Hamas:
Mayor Mamdani: here’s why your threat to arrest PM Netanyahu’s in NYC during UNGA is not going to happen:

New York's Socialist Mayor Stands by Threat to Arrest Netanyahu
 |
| The Times of Israel |
"You have to give New York City's "democratic socialist" (commie) Mayor Zohran Mamdani credit for one thing: He's consistent. Every time he opens his mouth, something stupid comes out.
"Case in point: The resident of Gracie Mansion, still apparently ignorant of the extent of his powers, is still making noises about arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, should the PM come to New York.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said his administration was still discussing whether to arrest the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, if he comes to New York City as expected for the U.N. General Assembly in September.
“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in the Hague,” Mr. Mamdani told Lulu Garcia-Navarro this week on “The Interview,” a New York Times show, referring to the home of the United Nations’ International Court of Justice.
“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court,” Mr. Mamdani added. “And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many, purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.”
"The United States isn't beholden to the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC has no jurisdiction in U.S. territory, and Mayor Mamdani has no legal grounds to order the Israeli PM's arrest. But that doesn't stop him from yapping about it." . . . More...

New York's Socialist Mayor Stands by Threat to Arrest Netanyahu – RedState.
. . "The United States isn't beholden to the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC has no jurisdiction in U.S. territory, and Mayor Mamdani has no legal grounds to order the Israeli PM's arrest. But that doesn't stop him from yapping about it." . . .
. . . " Here's the problem facing Democrats:
Mr. Mamdani’s views about Israel are no longer on the fringe of the Democratic Party. Nearly half of House Democrats voted this week to end U.S. aid to Israel, which was not enough for the measure to pass, but enough to demonstrate a shift in the party’s posture toward one of the country’s stalwart allies in the Middle East.
"This isn't about Israel being the only practicing democracy in the Middle East. This isn't about Israel, in fact, being the only non-apartheid state in the region. And this isn't about the International Criminal Court, which, within the borders of the United States, may as well not exist. This is, almost certainly, about Israel being the world's only Jewish-majority state.
It's not politics. It's antisemitism, that ancient scourge that's rearing its ugly head again.
As far as arresting the Israeli PM, Mayor Mamdani is once more producing nothing more than superheated gaseous emissions. But his comments are part of a larger, and more disturbing trend, one that has to be causing concern for American Jews; after all, they've seen this movie before." . . .
How California’s Plastic Ban Could Change What Every American Buys -
Say this three times, fast: "The Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act"
FEE: FOUNDATION FOR ECONOMIC EDUCATION:
"California has every right to regulate products within its borders. Whether it has the right to reshape markets across the country is a question that the courts may now have to answer."
"The Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act, passed and signed in 2022, went into effect on May 1. It demands a lot. By 2032, every shred of single-use packaging and single-use plastic food service ware sold in the state has to be recyclable or compostable.
"The law covers not just items made and consumed in California, but also those imported from outside the state.
"Because California is a massive market, many companies don’t produce one package for California and another for the other 49 states. Instead, they use a single design for everyone. That’s why the 17 states and other critics argue that California’s regulations have increasingly become national regulations.
"It’s not the first time. California’s Proposition 12, which created stringent breeding rules for veal, pork and eggs, effectively made the state an independent regulatory entity that has forced “other states to comply with California’s law if they wished to have access to California’s markets.”
"The lawsuit argues the law violates the Constitution by burdening interstate commerce, restricting how businesses communicate costs to customers, and effectively forcing companies into a single-state-approved producer organization.
"Consumers may never notice this legal battle, but they could notice fewer packaging choices, higher prices, or redesigned products as companies adapt to California’s rules.
"California has been waging war on plastic products for years. The attorney general claims, “We are currently living through a plastic waste and pollution crisis.” Lawmakers have kept the governor busy signing legislation intended to clean the state of a wide array of plastic items.
"The real question isn’t whether plastic litter is a problem. It is. The question is whether bans and mandates are the best solution.
"Public anti-litter campaigns, for example, are alternatives that have proven surprisingly effective.
"For instance, the Lone Star State’s unofficial slogan “Don’t mess with Texas” began 40 years ago as an initiative to reduce litter by at least 5% in the first year. Planners were thinking too modestly, though. A commercial featuring legendary blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan sending an “unforgettable message” made a significant impact, with litter falling by almost 30% in the first year of the program." . . .

But what about "the warmth of collectivism"? The Government Should Not Own the Means of Production in America
"Every single country that has nationalized major industries — every single one — ended up poorer for it."
 |
| International Liberty |
"European soccer fans marveled at American prosperity. This should be a reminder to avoid European mistakes.
"In an act never contemplated by the Constitution, the Trump administration has used taxpayer dollars to purchase an equity stake in Intel. OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, has been in talks in the White House over the government “buying” a stake in the company. Days later, OpenAI quietly filed for an IPO. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has introduced a bill to seize 50 percent of every major AI developer.
"When the federal government “buys” shares of AI developers, or any other company, stagnation follows. Who could compete with a company backed by Uncle Sam — when the government writes the rules, might have you sued by the Department of Justice, or investigated by the IRS? This would guarantee corruption. Imagine how this power will be used when the folks who “run” Chicago, Detroit, and San Francisco are back in power.
"Government-run companies never turn a profit. The Postal Service can’t do it. Nor Amtrak. The maker of the East German Trabant did — but only after it became a private company in reunited Germany.
"Even when companies are not nationalized outright — even when the government just “buys shares” — it undermines the profit motive. Why make your product better when you can just raise taxes? Why bother improving your business strategy when Uncle Sam can save you? And if Uncle Sam chooses to bail out something it owns, taxpayers will pay higher taxes to cover the bad judgment of the politicians who made the original error.
"Every single country that has nationalized major industries — every single one — ended up poorer for it. There is no exception. Peron’s Argentina is just now beginning to get back on its feet.
"Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua became destitute after socialist takeovers. China and Russia had devastating famines when they collectivized agriculture and heavy industry." . . .
Remembering the California dream; Two decades of relentless Democrat governance have turned the once “golden state” into dross.
"I should have made the change years earlier, but the California that lived in my mind had a hold on me. Governor Newsom’s arbitrary dictums and hypocrisy during his Wuhan Flu shutdown saga were the last straw."
"I spent the first half of my life on the East Coast, putting up with long, dark winters and imagining life in sunny California. Hollywood convinced me, with entertainment like “CHiPs” and “L.A. Story,” that the Golden State was a place I wanted to live. Venice Beach, the Santa Monica Pier, and the Hollywood sign all fed into what California was.
"My dreams encompassed San Francisco as probably the most beautiful city in America, before its embarrassing slide included a famous poop app warning walkers where not to step. Yosemite National Park is still one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Of course, no place is perfect, and I knew California had its share of issues, including traffic congestion, earthquakes, and smog.
"I moved to California in 1996 with romantic visions of sun-soaked palm trees and endless possibilities. I didn’t know California had already begun its tragic fall from grace.
"The romantic view I’d nurtured mostly survived contact when I moved to Southern California in 1996. Los Angeles had a Republican mayor at the time, which might be hard to believe given the recent mayoral primary fiasco. For more than a decade, I participated in the illusion that California was unbreakable.
"For those willing to look, fractures caused by illegal immigration, identity politics, and a radical “green” agenda that stifled infrastructure development and economic opportunities were starting to show. Power plants, reservoirs, and aqueducts were no longer proposed. Instead, California opted for what became a $14.6 billion railway boondoggle that still hasn’t resulted in a usable rail system.
"California’s siren song was a magnet for generations of pioneers, dreamers, and entrepreneurs alike. Hundreds of miles of scenic coastline, abundant natural resources matched only by abundant natural beauty, and a dynamic economy made it seem too fortunate to fail.
"Gems like Huntington Beach reinforced this belief." . . . More...

The View’s Sunny Hostin hates ‘privilege’—except for her own
"Her efforts to prevent her allegedly law-breaking son from being arrested are laughable when you know her history."
Andrea Widburg - American Thinker
"But her approach—which basically boiled down to a politely expressed version of “do you know who I am and do you know who my son is?”—is still a stinking bit of leftist hypocrisy when you consider Hostin’s long history of identifying and attacking any type of so-called “privilege,” especially those attached to wealth and prestige."
"No one hates “privilege” more than Sunny Hostin. The slightly black co-host of The View, who earns $2 million annually and lives with her orthopedic surgeon husband in a 12,000-square-foot New York City apartment, repeatedly castigates those—usually white—who exercise their “privilege.” However, when it came to throwing her weight around with the cops to protect her son from allegedly illegal conduct, the whole idea of “privilege” vanished from Hostin’s mind.
"Hostin, a former federal prosecutor with a pretty face, landed herself a gig on The View, a show that is aggressively woke. In that context, Hostin often complains about privilege—all kinds of privilege that imply that talent and hard work are meaningless. Here are some notable examples:
"In April 2019, when he was running for the Democrat nomination, Pete Buttigieg made obeisance to the race and sex hustlers by reflecting on his “white privilege or male privilege.” Hostin was thrilled that Buttigieg had this empathetic insight into his privilege.
"In May 2024, while the shrews...er, hostesses were discussing Caitlin Clark, Hostin stated, “I do think that there is a thing called pretty privilege. There is a thing called White privilege. There is a thing called tall privilege, and we have to acknowledge that.
"Most tellingly, though, for purposes of this essay, in September 2019, when actress Felicity Huffman was trying to get a more lenient sentence for her role in a college admissions scandal, Hostin was outraged that someone prominent, wealthy, and generally in a better (presumably whiter) situation than other people, would dare ask for leniency: “She had wealth, privilege and a platform, and she didn’t use it appropriately.”. . .
UK Daily mail: Excruciating moment The View host Sunny Hostin tries to get her smirking son off the hook with cops . . . "'We know you’re not a criminal or anything like that but our hands are tied with cameras everywhere.'
"Following the citation, Gabriel Hostin was ordered to return to court in New Rochelle, New York on July 31.
"According to the New York Post, his former federal prosecutor mom is representing him.
Sunny Hostin also penned a letter to Westchester Assistant District Attorney Amanda Greene, the prosecutor in the case, where she asked for the case to be dismissed." . . .
