Pillsbury, along with his father and uncle, founded C.A. Pillsbury & Co. in Minneapolis in 1872. That same year he created an ingenious way to set his flour apart from competitors. At that time, millers used βXβs to distinguish between different grades of flour. Three βXβs on a sack of flour meant it was the highest quality. Charles trademarked the Pillsburyβs Best flour logo with four βXβs, implying that is was far better than even the highest quality of flour produced by any other mill. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span>π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span> <br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqxcPK9yh_NuPEwZrFwwtAdUrvxZzNsc12JgYxDugwbqoLYLFSZpMmMCfKasXxF2vIYuGlKmS1NZ5NmROhyphenhyphen0NY31AzqBkzz8g_OiHT9cUmZjMJVsHDiaticAIsk5XP1FafTy1gppalCPHLFAxXote_GI2AIAJfa6yyS5OZjIHnu1Eak9tCjRc0jdAPAZU/s508/RipVanWinkle-whisky-1882.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Gibson's Rip Van Winkle Whisky" border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqxcPK9yh_NuPEwZrFwwtAdUrvxZzNsc12JgYxDugwbqoLYLFSZpMmMCfKasXxF2vIYuGlKmS1NZ5NmROhyphenhyphen0NY31AzqBkzz8g_OiHT9cUmZjMJVsHDiaticAIsk5XP1FafTy1gppalCPHLFAxXote_GI2AIAJfa6yyS5OZjIHnu1Eak9tCjRc0jdAPAZU/w394-h400/RipVanWinkle-whisky-1882.jpg" title="Gibson's Rip Van Winkle Whisky" width="394" /></a></div>Rip Van Winkle left his nagging wife, drank moonshine, and slept for at least 20 years.

Its flagship beer, Schlitz, known as βthe beer that made Milwaukee famous,β was a beloved and iconic American-style lager. In the 1970s, in response to declining market share, Schlitz tried to cut production costs by using cheaper ingredients and accelerating the brewing process, but the customer base wasn't buying and their fortunes continued to decline. Schlitz sold its assets and closed its Milwaukee brewery in 1981. The brand is now owned by Pabst. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span>π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span> <br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

</p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I run a
YouTube channel that hosts clips of major stars wearing blackface in movies and
TV. These clips are important because of their historical and cultural value,
and should be available to the general public. Most of them are available
now, but for how long? At any time the studios can change their minds about
allowing these clips and take down my entire channel with a series of copyright
strikes. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">After getting a copyright strike, you can argue it should be considered "Fair Use for Educational Purposes" but that won't change YouTube's mind, because they don't want to get in the middle. You can also appeal to the owners of the media who file the claim, but they have no incentive to agree to any Fair Use. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The only other option is to dispute the claim with YouTube and then prepare for a copyright lawsuit from a media company. Testing your claim in court would likely not go well, because the media corporations have tailored the copyright laws and especially "Fair Use" to give themselves maximum protection and benefits from their properties.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><b>How do you avoid copyright strikes in the first place?</b><br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The problem
for creators of this type of channel is, how can one know if a video they've
uploaded will be able to avoid a copyright strike? <span> </span>YouTube's Content ID system is very good during uploads at
tagging videos with copyright claims and allowing short clips on channels that are
not monetized. With a Content ID claim, there are no consequences for uploading
a video that is rejected, or as YouTube terms it, "Your video cannot be
seen anywhere."</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Unfortunately
that's only the beginning.<span> </span>Your video
can pass the Content ID checks and be public for months without any concerns
till one day you get a notice that you've received a copyright strike because
someone sent them a take-down notice. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieL06iaqQ6Re9_shm78Os1zPWotjUpX0VsZDIfXel-zqfBOZrazq0Pvfhz6Hd5Z-2PP7kVF7KbQxjca4kAEQhUVgMRdlSeh5L4_jtZ8FrfTdkKWYRTDTTFdtfeSFe2YkuadtACJb6Vub50s8NM5by8mxlG70m0r2pMTJYhWEBiIjDPebB5_qXQE4BK/s921/YouTube-takedown.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="YouTube takedown notice" border="0" data-original-height="677" data-original-width="921" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieL06iaqQ6Re9_shm78Os1zPWotjUpX0VsZDIfXel-zqfBOZrazq0Pvfhz6Hd5Z-2PP7kVF7KbQxjca4kAEQhUVgMRdlSeh5L4_jtZ8FrfTdkKWYRTDTTFdtfeSFe2YkuadtACJb6Vub50s8NM5by8mxlG70m0r2pMTJYhWEBiIjDPebB5_qXQE4BK/w400-h294/YouTube-takedown.jpg" title="YouTube takedown notice" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /> </span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">YouTube has

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors after hearing the report for the first time voiced enthusiastic support for the ideas, with some saying money should not stop the city from doing the right thing. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Why worry about the cost? You mean besides the fact that this is completely insane? An estimate from Stanford Universityβs Hoover Institution, which leans conservative, has said it would cost each non-Black family in the city at least $600,000. How do you think those folks are going to like that?<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">On the California state level, The California Reparations Task Force, which was created by legislation signed by Governor Newsom in 2020, is considering a proposal to give just under $360,000 per person to approximately 1.8 million Black Californians who had an ancestor enslaved in the U.S., putting the total cost of the program at about $640 billion.</span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Critics
say the payouts make no sense in a state and city that never enslaved
Black people. Reparations opponents say taxpayers who were
never slave owners should not have to pay money to people who were not
enslaved. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And besides, The
California Civil Rights Initiative (1996) clearly prohibits
preferential treatment of any race: βThe state shall not discriminate
against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on
the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the
operation of public employment, public education, or public
contracting.β</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Also, the limited focus on redressing wrongs affecting only blacks by reparations supporters ignores major racist policies in California history that affected Native Americans, Mexican-Americans and Asians, among others. Once California starts handing out reparations to one group, the demands of historical victims will never end.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Talk is cheap on this subject, because no governing body is actually ready and able to hand out meaningful reparations:</b> <br /></span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Evanston, Illinois became the first city in the United States to pass a reparations resolution in 2019 for Black residents who qualified. βIt is a $25,000 direct benefit to build wealth through home equity.β The housing program is the first initiative in a historic plan to distribute $10 million in reparations to Black residents of Evanston. The effort would prioritize descendants of Evanston residents who lived in the city between 1919 and 1969 or suffered housing discrimination after 1969. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The columnist Dahleen Glanton described the resolution in the Chicago Tribune as "mostly a symbolic gesture with little of the substance the reparations movement hoped for," adding that "African Americans wonβt get a dime in their pockets."</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In Asheville, North Carolina, leaders have vowed to give reparations by funding housing, business and career programs for Black people. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In 2021, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, reintroduced bill H.R. 40, which would create a commission to examine reparations for the African American descendants of slavery. President Joe Bidenβs administration has expressed his support for studying reparations. Yeah, keep "studying" the problem so you don't have to actually do anything. Meanwhile, the political damage accumulates from talking about it.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">All of these programs and studies are missing one important thing -- <b>The problems that justify reparations should be solved before you start the reparations</b>, otherwise you'll need another round of reparations in the future because America has not properly addressed and solved the institutional racism that continues to disadvantage people of color.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If the Democrats are looking for an idea that can easily cost them the 2024 election, they couldn't do any better than talking about reparations. According to a Pew Research poll in November 2022, 68% of Americans say reparations should not be paid.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">While nearly 75% of black respondents in an AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll said they believe the US government should pay reparations to the descendants of enslaved black people, just 15% of white participants supported the idea.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Clearly, additional studies, recommendations and talk from Democrats about reparations between now and 2024 will cost many more votes than it gains and it will push a lot of the independent voters towards Republicans.<br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span>π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><a href="http://no-solicitors-sign.com/"><img alt="Buy a No Soliciting Sign That Really Works!" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEix4psn6CNtwwA3rCcL58hNe48gL6DbT7dXeC45NjjgMaJ9DFsyMA58r8UF0KTyoa_eBjl4GTM5HHikg-mIQoHulEm2hMrpYomQGBpzFHdRwgWKkzG0FvxDgq4hZ-bs2N-h219wP2D1jewhuW7_Z7aDw2fc6F8PwQ4=s16000" title="Buy a No Soliciting Sign That Really Works!" /></a></span></span></span><span><span face=""><span><span><span face="verdana,arial,sans-serif"><b> </b></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><a href="http://no-solicitors-sign.com/"><span><span face="verdana,arial,sans-serif"><b>Buy a No Soliciting Sign<br />

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Higher education should be free, but it's not, and not
likely to be anytime soon. We're blowing a bunch of money already, so why not
give these people a break? Because paying off a bunch of student loans now will
only make higher education more expensive for those who follow.<span> </span>Lots of deserving people are mired in debt
and would love some help too. How easy will it be for Republicans to use this
to divide people? </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When measured by
income, the poorest one-fifth of Americans hold about 8 percent of all
student debt in America. In contrast, the wealthiest one-fifth of American
households have a third of all student debt. </span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you want to fix some things, and many things need fixing,
maybe don't start with a cohort that is so easily portrayed by the other side as elite,
when you couldn't even keep the COVID-era SNAP payments going. As a result of Democrats failure to protect children, 30 million Americans lost the help they desperately need to feed their hungry children, while inflation continues to surge. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Biden's order to liquidate up to $20,000 of student debt per borrower has been put on hold due to a lawsuit and The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the case soon. The Biden Administration knows it doesn't stand a chance with this conservative court, but they think telling borrowers that, "Well, we tried" will be adequate to explain their failure, as they have done with so many other things. Ultimately they will just disappoint those 43 million who have student loan debt while at the same time handing another explosive issue to the GOP. When will they learn that this sort of performance art just makes things worse? <br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It's time to tell
this generation the truth -- the value of the average college education has dropped
dramatically already and just wait till ChatGPT and other Artificial Intelligence starts replacing all those
boring and repetitive computer-based jobs that currently require a 4-year
degree. For most people, advanced skills will be much more important than advanced
knowledge in the future. If enough people would find alternative career paths
now, it will be better for them anyway, and then tuition will start to fall.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span>π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><a href="http://no-solicitors-sign.com/"><img alt="Buy a No Soliciting Sign That Really Works!" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEix4psn6CNtwwA3rCcL58hNe48gL6DbT7dXeC45NjjgMaJ9DFsyMA58r8UF0KTyoa_eBjl4GTM5HHikg-mIQoHulEm2hMrpYomQGBpzFHdRwgWKkzG0FvxDgq4hZ-bs2N-h219wP2D1jewhuW7_Z7aDw2fc6F8PwQ4=s16000" title="Buy a No Soliciting Sign That Really Works!" /></a></span></span></span><span><span face=""><span><span><span face="verdana,arial,sans-serif"><b> </b></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><a href="http://no-solicitors-sign.com/"><span><span face="verdana,arial,sans-serif"><b>Buy a No Soliciting Sign<br />

Early health warnings were ignored by the industry as leaded gasoline became more popular and profitable. Legal challenges began in 1924, after refinery accidents left workers dying from violent insanity.

This Western hat would become the cornerstone of Stetson's hat business and is still in production today.<br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span>π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span> <br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL4pjkb5KhkJpo3JVlrzKTHFhXIIdWyjSKzwnC2jWbvJGzkq7pK8Jp5zJm29EIzNQd_XQuzaaX3NpK9ehOFCUTRqGMQPAHAgOst5iOC-BYh7F4GBFXaC7x64lmg-_bryi3Mv5niZHDwyUMsgpxIqInylyV9v93wr8UB2GCqSFXWBuU6W0qnNAyQvNU/s1667/Lights-1943.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Milk of Magnesia - lights will come back on" border="0" data-original-height="1275" data-original-width="1667" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL4pjkb5KhkJpo3JVlrzKTHFhXIIdWyjSKzwnC2jWbvJGzkq7pK8Jp5zJm29EIzNQd_XQuzaaX3NpK9ehOFCUTRqGMQPAHAgOst5iOC-BYh7F4GBFXaC7x64lmg-_bryi3Mv5niZHDwyUMsgpxIqInylyV9v93wr8UB2GCqSFXWBuU6W0qnNAyQvNU/w400-h306/Lights-1943.jpg" title="Milk of Magnesia - lights will come back on" width="400" /></a></div>Answers the question, "How can I turn a reference to </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span>WW2 </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span>blackouts into an ad for Milk of Magnesia?" </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span>π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDDPpewTiXbuT-MnxMLKi8ZmYvoiFi3SMStI2ZvVTHfg_RBBxMIvoLnmp61cZeeuc3Zsrg0Ftr0jyil_R0gA_ctbYmLZJzbGPPPDuXPWjcWwjdfMocBvr__ZIDWhUC5hmMmyOKeAkVlxxVFwG8rPsojg53hWQnX78n2cmM0x2EWkRYvlV4ZV8G43rX/s1600/Flit-No-Mahm.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Flit - No Mahm" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1234" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDDPpewTiXbuT-MnxMLKi8ZmYvoiFi3SMStI2ZvVTHfg_RBBxMIvoLnmp61cZeeuc3Zsrg0Ftr0jyil_R0gA_ctbYmLZJzbGPPPDuXPWjcWwjdfMocBvr__ZIDWhUC5hmMmyOKeAkVlxxVFwG8rPsojg53hWQnX78n2cmM0x2EWkRYvlV4ZV8G43rX/w309-h400/Flit-No-Mahm.jpeg" title="Flit - No Mahm" width="309" /></a></div>The black dialect used in this racist ad originated in minstrel shows.<br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span>π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span face=""><span><span><span face=""><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbD7yWIMjo7ffYbRi6aNTKn9D74dKgkMWergDekA9eGfNp--yTbRSM6G6Kp2ZzsZB3N1WLsqwJiiP3koAsH8Eidu5mRTLX-4AYlFcINOXMwz0HIp4MjFHWKUyd2ewutJzjrpsAD-YUkeBb8KlNXQYPgpJfSvW7jwdHwid6hBxz19eohw9PKqw3o0Tl/s2048/Birleys-1940.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Birley's Antacid Powder" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="790" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbD7yWIMjo7ffYbRi6aNTKn9D74dKgkMWergDekA9eGfNp--yTbRSM6G6Kp2ZzsZB3N1WLsqwJiiP3koAsH8Eidu5mRTLX-4AYlFcINOXMwz0HIp4MjFHWKUyd2ewutJzjrpsAD-YUkeBb8KlNXQYPgpJfSvW7jwdHwid6hBxz19eohw9PKqw3o0Tl/w154-h400/Birleys-1940.jpg" title="Birley's Antacid Powder" width="154" /></a></div>Mrs. F.

At first, it was used to treat conditions such as chronic fatigue and depression. But it worked best to improve the symptoms of ADHD. <br />ADHD was originally called hyperkinetic reaction of childhood.

At first the group was mainly concerned with marksmanship. It later played a relatively constructive role regarding safety-minded gun ownership restrictions. From the 1930s to the early 1970s, the NRA was for common sense gun control, but during the 1970s the NRA became much more political and strident in its defense of βgun rights,β which it increasingly defined as nearly absolute under the Second Amendment.<br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""><span style="font-size: medium;">π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»</span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Q0VEu9DbS4yw1cjyHWvjXcna_MRz_ieANz04x3A0LAFUJMx0xwBESLKaCG0moYhEKKvqxWwb_8ElB7_mAhi_5ekjklIzzWRdFiagny0otjQTORc6dkmZh0RCkkrmCNY4ytp5fOvygAGjz4smNeOjzFrO2n_NzRfzowBm0v-WKMFHfy28yvMa4g5f/s354/Hair-fluff.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hair-Fluff" border="0" data-original-height="354" data-original-width="267" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Q0VEu9DbS4yw1cjyHWvjXcna_MRz_ieANz04x3A0LAFUJMx0xwBESLKaCG0moYhEKKvqxWwb_8ElB7_mAhi_5ekjklIzzWRdFiagny0otjQTORc6dkmZh0RCkkrmCNY4ytp5fOvygAGjz4smNeOjzFrO2n_NzRfzowBm0v-WKMFHfy28yvMa4g5f/w301-h400/Hair-fluff.jpg" title="Hair-Fluff" width="301" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""><span style="font-size: medium;">Dry shampoo has been around in some form or another for centuries, but it doesn't actually clean the hair.

years of hard labor and even the death penalty.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Griner </span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">knew she was visiting an authoritarian country with horrible jails, that was about to go to war against Ukraine and was threatening the US, and she </span></span>broke the law of that country. She now claims it was an "accident" but even if you accept that excuse, it</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> still wouldn't make it in our national interest to make her a
cause celebre or trade some high value Russian prisoner for her.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">So many in the media and online are trying to make this about her race, her sexual preference or her gender, </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">but her arrest had nothing to do with any of that. She made a mistake in a place where mistakes can be very costly.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It's not "our fault" as some have alleged, that Griner was only making about $220K in the WNBA and therefore "had" to travel to Russia to be paid $1M per year to play while also supporting the Russian oligarchy by standing for the Russian anthem as a show of respect for those who were paying her hefty salary. She did that after refusing to stand for the American anthem during WNBA games. That was her right, of course, but it's a bad look when you do that and then go to Russia and pay respects to their anthem.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The U.S. State Department officials have classified Griner as βwrongfully detained,β which they often do when there is an indication that politics are involved. But she was not wrongfully detained according to Russian law and she has admitted to possessing the cannabis. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Marc Fogel, an American teacher who previously worked for the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, was convicted of drug smuggling in June 2022 for 21 grams of cannabis he needed for medical issues β by the same court that is handling Ms. Grinerβs case β and he got 14 years in a high-security penal colony. Meanwhile, the State Department isn't claiming Marc Fogel was </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">βwrongfully detainedβ but then he isn't in the WNBA either. <br /></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Russian Federation first invited Brittney Griner to play basketball in Russia in 2015 and she has gone there to play every year since. Her lawyers have offered as part of her defense that she has a doctor's note to use cannabis for pain. Of course that has no effect in Russia. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Does anyone really think this is the first time she brought her cannabis vapes with her when traveling and it was just an "accident" that it happened this time? Try claiming in the US that it was an "accident" you broke the law or that you shouldn't be arrested for doing something illegal you've done before without being arrested and see how far you get with that. <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>We should not be offering any concessions to get Griner back</b> <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Pressuring the US President, Congress and the American public to make concessions, like a prisoner swap using </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Victor Bout, aka </span></span>the "Merchant of Death" is not in the national interest of the United States. Not only is it a terrible idea, but all of this attention only increases Griner's value to Putin as a bargaining chip.<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">And who is Victor Bout?<br /></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">He is a notorious Russian arms dealer who</span></span> used his multiple air transport companies to smuggle weapons since the collapse of the Soviet Union from Eastern Europe to Africa and the Middle East during the 1990s and early 2000s. Bout is serving a 25-year federal prison sentence for conspiring to sell weapons to people who said they planned to kill Americans. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Is Griner worth that? </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">No, she is not.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Ultimately, trading a basketball star arrested with a small amount of hashish oil could result in more Americans being unjustly arrested and used as hostages for future swaps. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Is Griner worth that? No, she is not. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The US should certainly make an effort to get her and all other Americans being held by Russia freed, but not at any cost. </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Griner's
supporters were initially keeping her arrest quiet in the hope that she
might be released quickly. When it became clear that she was going to
be prosecuted before any deal was struck, her supporters took her story
public and they've gotten a tremendous amount of favorable coverage. Biden had to make a public display of support; important for domestic consumption, sure, but ultimately raising her potential value in a trade.</span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">They should have waited till after the show trial was over. With Russia's war in Ukraine and the threat it poses to all of Europe and the US, this is not the time for a lot of drama over a famous basketball player who got caught with drugs being treated harshly by Russia's justice system. Our enemies only care about our drama to the extent that they can use it to their advantage. It would have been best to keep the negotiations over her private, until after she is sentenced. Then if they can't cut a deal in private, turn up the heat in public. Now whatever Biden does, he will look weak and Putin will benefit.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Update 7/28/2022</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The Russians have made it quite clear from day one that there would be
no negotiations until after Griner is convicted. And yet, the US has actually
put an offer on the table already that would release </span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Victor Bout, aka </span></span>the "Merchant of Death" in exchange for Griner and </span></span>Paul Whelan, an American accused by the Russians of spying and serving a 16 year prison sentence. </span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Meanwhile, no offers are being made to secure the release of </span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Marc Fogel, but the Russian government replied to the U.S.'s initial offer for Griner and Whelan by requesting that convicted murderer Vadim Krasikov be part of the exchange, even though Krasikov is serving a life sentence in a German prison for a killing that was ordered by Putin. The Russians actually expect us to pressure the Germans to release Krasikov! This is what happens when, because of public pressure, you undercut your own negotiating position before negotiations even start.</span></span></span></span> </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""><span style="font-size: medium;">π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»π»</span></span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://no-solicitors-sign.com/"><img alt="Buy a No Soliciting Sign That Really Works!" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEix4psn6CNtwwA3rCcL58hNe48gL6DbT7dXeC45NjjgMaJ9DFsyMA58r8UF0KTyoa_eBjl4GTM5HHikg-mIQoHulEm2hMrpYomQGBpzFHdRwgWKkzG0FvxDgq4hZ-bs2N-h219wP2D1jewhuW7_Z7aDw2fc6F8PwQ4=s16000" title="Buy a No Soliciting Sign That Really Works!" /></a></span></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span face="verdana,arial,sans-serif"><b> </b></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://no-solicitors-sign.com/"><span style="font-size: small;"><span face="verdana,arial,sans-serif"><b>Buy a No Soliciting Sign<br />
