Fox News Pay Dominion $787 Million

-

Dominion Voting Systems' big legal guns, with their CEO Jon Poulos. The company took Fox News to court for defaming the voting machines they manufacture.

What is defamation? 

“You have a big head.”

“Fact. My parents even gave me a nick name, for it.”

“Your factory produces marmalade full of worms.”

“Aaah! Aaaah! Hold it right there. All lies. Do you want to ruin my business?”

That, in a nutshell, is defamation and I’m breaking it down for Georgia Republicans that are on a suicide mission because they keep accusing ballot counting machines of being faulty. That is why the Georgia State Election Board wants to count ballots by hand. Translation? Election fraud. They want to count the votes in favour of Trump.

Georgia Stop Playing With Fire

Dominion Voting Systems makes those ballot counting machines and it will not tolerate lies about its product. Ask Fox News. It repeated that lie on air after the 2020 election, and Dominion sued the television network for $1.6 billion. Both parties eventually settled out of court with Fox News agreeing to pay Dominion $787,500, 000.

Jon Poulos, Dominion Voting Systems CEO explained in simple English what happens, if you lie about someone’s product/business.

“Fox has admitted to telling lies about Dominion that caused enormous damage to my company, our employees and the customers we serve. Nothing can ever make up for that. Throughout this process, we have sought accountability, he said. “Truthful reporting in the media is essential to our democracy.” SOURCE: NPR online report, April 18, 2023.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
