Thank God!: Alex Jones’s Infowars is about to be banned from YouTube

Finally, Alex Jones is getting what he deserves.

The Hill has the story

Conspiracy theory outlet Infowars is one strike away from being banned from YouTube.

The channel said it received an alert from YouTube on Tuesday morning, saying Infowars received a second strike on a video about the Parkland, Fla., high school shooting and will temporarily be unable to upload new content.

“This is the second strike applied to your account within three months. As a result, you’re unable to post new content to YouTube for two weeks,” the alert said. “If there are no further issues, the ability to upload will be automatically restored after this two week period.”

Infowars’s second strike comes as social media giants like YouTube and Twitter grapple with how to handle extremist or conspiracy theory content.

I would like to officially go on the record as saying, that I believe this is a good thing. As someone who has conservative leanings, I find myself very embarrassed by the fact that Alex Jones is even regarded as a legitimate media outlet. Because some of the stuff that Alex Jones promotes on his site, borderlines on manacle hysteria and outright stupidity.

Not to mention, some of the things that he has said on his site are a direct insult to victims of mass shootings. I personally believe if Alex Jones wants to promote those wackadoodle conspiracy theories, then he should do it on his own server, where he can upload videos to his heart’s content. Instead of on a site such as YouTube where all Americans can access it. Now I’m sure Alex Jones is going to scream repression of freedom of speech. Sorry Alex, but that’s a bunch of BS. YouTube is not a government ran site; YouTube is a private business or entity and reserves the rights to prohibit someone of your caliber from using their service. Not to mention the fact that they accept advertising dollars and I’m sure some advertisers do not want to share the same platform as you.

Now if one of Alex Jones is mindless followers happens to stumble over this article and starts to comment that I’m some sort of government controlled person or that I’m some sort of die-hard liberal; nothing could be further from the truth. I voted for Trump and I too would like to see America great again. However, I do not like Alex Jones. I never have. I’ve always thought him to be a crank and opportunist and a charlatan. So, before you waste your breath or your bandwidth on calling me stuff that I’m not. Save it, because you would be dead wrong.

Dear @YouTube, you suck

Man I tell ya. I dont know whos programming youtubes Android app, but I’m thinking they need to go back to programming school.

What happened is this, up till today youtubes Android app was working just fine on my phone. Now the Android app comes up and then immediately crashes. I don’t know what they did to update it if they even updated it today. But it is seriously not working on my phone. I have for what it’s worth galaxy s4.

I have submitted the crash report and hopefully they get it straightened out. because I really do immensely enjoy watching YouTube videos like music stuff here in the bed with my phone. Now I can’t do that which sucks.

So, to the folks up at YouTube please fix your app for Android phones ASAP!

I simply believe that ALL VOICES, not just a collective few, should be heard in the continuing discussion that is post-Bush Conservative Politics.

In Memory: Jimmy Dean 1928 – 2010

The Working Man’s Country Music Singer has died:

Yahoo News Reports:

RICHMOND, Va. – Jimmy Dean, a country music legend for his smash hit about a workingman hero, “Big Bad John,” and an entrepreneur known for his sausage brand, died on Sunday. He was 81.

His wife, Donna Meade Dean, said her husband died at their Henrico County, Va., home.

She told The Associated Press that he had some health problems but was still functioning well, so his death came as a shock. She said he was eating in front of the television. She left the room for a time and came back and he was unresponsive. She said he was pronounced dead at 7:54 p.m.

“He was amazing,” she said. “He had a lot of talents.”

Born in 1928, Dean was raised in poverty in Plainview, Texas, and dropped out of high school after the ninth grade. He went on to a successful entertainment career in the 1950s and ’60s that included the nationally televised “The Jimmy Dean Show.”

In 1969, Dean went into the sausage business, starting the Jimmy Dean Meat Co. in his hometown. He sold the company to Sara Lee Corp. in 1984.

He was also a bit of a Conservative:

In the late ’60s, Dean entered the hog business — something he knew well. His family had butchered hogs, with the young Dean whacking them over the head with the blunt end of an ax. The Dean brothers — Jimmy and Don — ground the meat and their mother seasoned it.

The Jimmy Dean Meat Co. opened with a plant in Plainview. After six months, the company was profitable.

His fortune was estimated at $75 million in the early ’90s.

Having watched other stars fritter away their fortunes, Dean said he learned to be careful with his money.

“I’ve seen so many people in this business that made a fortune,” he told the AP. “They get old and broke and can’t make any money. … I tell you something, … no one’s going to play a benefit for Jimmy Dean.”

Rest in Peace, Mr. Dean. You have more than earned it.
