Thank you.
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
I love your
Bear Research!
Sources that are the creation of multiple entities; sources that are large, commercial enterprises, sources that are used by tens, hundreds of thousands as inspiration, have all been called blogs.
We have been told not to post excerpts of Victor David Hanson; because he published the work on a "blog".
We have been told not to post excerpts from Ammoland, one of the largest commercial firearms and Second Amendment sites on the Internet, as it was characterized as a "blog".
There are, sometimes, commercial contracts that stand in the way of posting full articles, even by authors of the articles.
The Internet has become a complex, always changing, marketplace of billions of people.
The size of "blogs" runs from a single person at a single site, posting an occasional article, to very successful commercial operations run by corporations.
The blog that I post most of my content on, eventually, subject to contractual arrangements (most is published elsewhere for payment, first), has no advertisements and collects no funds, not even contributions.
Not exactly sure where this is going, or what is the best route forward.
But "blog" is used as a pejorative, at times, for what is a complex, ever changing form of media that has done much to undermine the pernicious influence of the old media.
The only time he ever says anything is when he complains about "click-bait" blogs. He doesn't add to the discussion of the core subject of the thread itself.
If and when he does comment, is to respond to other FReepers complaining about his complaining about bloggers.
It doesn't appear that he adds any substance to the discussions about the content of the blog itself, even those where there is a lively discussion going on about the subject matter.
I don't particularly care one way or the other what he does. But his irritating protestations about blogs is the only "pony trick" he seems to know.
VDH requires we post excerpts only of his columns whether posted from a blog orb major media source or wherever. What I don’t like is obvious blogpimps or clickbait artists.
Yes, there are some of those.
I have seen them.
An entire city of homeless living in the city of Los Angeles.
Yes, I totally agree with you. I have been an avid reader of FR for a couple of decades. I usually don’t reply to posts or comments. I don’t make posts because I have found that someone has already posted the very same thing. So, I once in awhile make a snarky reply to a comment.
For whatever the reason, I find that I do actually like HG, I would gladly sit and have a drink with him and would like to hear his opinion on the substance of the blog posts he crusades against.
I have a feeling that if he lowered his lance and rode past his bane he would be interesting in conversation.
In any case he is a relatively long term persona on FR and kind of fits in my comfort zone. And, he does not attack anyone on a personal level, he whets his blade on the blogosphere.
All in all, i would much rather hear from HG than a particular number FR members, that quite frankly, make racist statements. And no, I am not some kind of a SJW, there are some posts/replies that just shouldn’t belong on FR.
I think, maybe, you’re like me. We read HG’s scoldings and once in awhile we just have to say “dude, really?!”
I see a pattern too - most of these blog pimps fail to make even token donations to FR....they are leeches and FReeloaders trying to make profits from a non-profit entity...yet we still have those (probably other leeches) who defend them...can’t make this crap up...
We have lots of blog-pimp leeches using FR to try to make a profit...and we also have a lot of other leeches who think it’s their “God-given Right” to never make a donation...then we have the folks who defend them...I’d guess that leeches like to help out other leeches.

NOTHING in your blog is original. It’s all from other sources. So, no need for clickbait.
Plus, you have crap along the side that blocks the text. Are you aware of this bug?
Oh, and don’t just be a posting bot for your blog. Post and discuss. Being a posting bot is lame as hell.

Democrat homeless disaster killing San Francisco, Los Angeles, & Seattle (Shocking Videos)
written by Rick Johnson Jun 29, 2019
Los Angeles, Seattle, Homeless, Portland, San Francisco, Democrat
LOS ANGELES, CA: A rising wave of homelessness is growing and spreading in the major Democrat controlled cities on the Left Coast. Spreading disease, drug addiction, and social disorder in its wake. From Seattle to San Francisco to Los Angeles the quality of life is plummeting. Democrat municipal and state authorities seem oblivious, placing the rights of the homeless above their duty to their citizens, taxpayers, and public safety.
Los Angeles: Inundated with the homeless, everywhere
More than 60,000 homeless people by official count are living on the streets of Los Angeles. That doesn’t include the surrounding municipalities and cities in Orange County. Actual estimates are much higher, and the homeless seem to be everywhere.
Hillary’s People’s Republic of California Jungle Primary Voter Suppression
Not 1/4 mile in one direction from my house in Sherman Oaks there are a dozen homeless people living under the Woodman overpass of the 101 Freeway. Less than 1/2 a mile in the other direction at least 4 homeless people are living under the Fulton Street overpass.
This is in a tony upscale neighborhood of Los Angeles. Where the average home price is over a million dollars. Yet on a daily basis, there are dozens of homeless living nearby. In the bushes by the freeway. Sleeping in campers and cars. Gathered in groups under overpasses, and in remote public spaces.
Homeless in LA: Paradise Lost
In the nearby Sepulveda Dam basin, there are probably hundreds of homeless people and dozens of camps among the hundreds of acres of scrub and parkland. Of course, when it rained last January the Dam basin was flooded and the hundreds of homeless living in the woods were displaced. Now they are back. In spades.
Seattle journalist Eric Johnson of ABC affiliate KOMO-TV shot this shocking footage as part of a series of documentary stories he has done. “Paradise Lost: Homelessness in Los Angeles” is only 6 1/2 minutes long, but is distressingly clear Komo-TV knows the problem.
Los Angeles: What is Democrat Eric Garcetti doing?
Downtown Los Angeles resembles a war zone. Literally thousands of homeless inhabit 55 square blocks of the city. A withering third world testament to modern day Democrat policies. Desecration of our public life due to overly activist judges and elected officials blind to the needs of their actual citizens and taxpayers.
Joe Biden slobbers all over himself at sad Iowa campaign event
Mayor Eric Garcetti has shattered any hope for a national career with the hopeless morass that Los Angeles has become under his Mayoral administration. The complete failure of his homeless policies has led to an incipient recall effort. Not only has homelessness grown by thousands each year. The anemic response by Garcetti has gotten less effective as the problem has grown.
Homeless in LA: A breeding ground for typhus and drug abuse
Now downtown Los Angeles is a breeding ground for disease. Typhus, tuberculosis, and any number of third world maladies that come from large encampments full of squalor. (Typhoid Fever, Typhus & Tuberculosis: Are L.A.’s Medieval Diseases Coming To Your City?)
Several city employees and police have been infected. (Los Angeles Police Officers Contract Typhoid Fever, Others Show Typhus-Like Symptoms)
The conditions aren’t just deplorable. They are a public health hazard of the first order. Feces and trash and needles are everywhere. As are the rats that feed on it all.
Drug use is public and ubiquitous. This doesn’t even begin to address the mental illness problems afflicting large numbers of the homeless. It is also without considering how many of the homeless in California may be here illegally.
“Seattle is dying” documentary makes a shocking case
TV Journalist Eric Johnson hosted an in-depth one hour documentary about the problem in Seattle which aired on ABC affiliate KOMO, appropriately named “Seattle is Dying”. It depicted a city in collapse, surrounded by a deluge of homeless in the midst of every conceivable public space.
Squalor and municipal neglect on a scale that is hard to imagine. Democrat, and openly-lesbian, Mayor Jenny Durkin seems to be under the same illusions as Washington Governor Jay Inslee. Somehow they have forgotten their citizens and the duty of government to serve the interest of the public at large in favor of an extreme minority of people who are making life in these cities unlivable.
San Francisco: A collapse of Governance, decency, and order
In San Francisco, there is an open collapse of all decent norms. The public squalor isn’t just shocking. It is unconscionable. Legions of homeless defecting in the street. Needles are strewn throughout the city. A downtown that is unliveable.
The most expensive city in America is also the most degrading example of the loss of America. San Francisco was literally a Shining City on a Hill. Now its a squalid camp of drug addicts shooting up and defecating in the street.
Not exactly a poster boy for tourism. Or for the Democrat policies throughout California, and in Oregon and Washington that only exacerbate the problem.
Feces in the streets, all over the city
San Francisco Mayor London Breed seems paralyzed to actually do anything about the horrific third world conditions in her city. Where sections of South of Market are a virtual war zone? The Tenderloin district was always bad, but now the squalor has spread throughout the city by the bay. (I Went On a Police Ride-Along in San Francisco’s Worst Neighborhood)
Barack Obama’s shadow government of coup plotters in exile
Union Square is an open toilet. Residents of the Pan Handle , which use to be a tony part of the city, have to walk in the street to step over the homeless camping on the sidewalks. The parks are unworkable. The stench of human feces is everywhere.

The downward spiral is continuing unchecked and unabated. Governor Gavin Newsom seems pleased with what he has accomplished. Its like we are governed by Bolsheviks bent on destroying everything decent in order to wield their control over whats left.
Bolshevik Democrat policies leading the downward spiral
From the teaming homeless who live in the cliffs and caves of the Palisades of Santa Monica. To the hundreds who make their home in Griffith Park, home to the Hollywood sign. From Pacific Heights in San Francisco to the streets of Portland. From the squalor of Seattle to the typhus infected streets of downtown Los Angeles.
The homeless problem is not being addressed. Is being allowed to fester the way the undocumented invasion is being allowed to proliferate. Hence, the result is crime, disease, and pestilence is both abundant and growing.
Mayors Eric Garcetti, London Breed, and Jenny Durkin betray their city and their citizens when they allow the decimation of civilized order. Governor Gavin Newsome and Jay Inslee could stop worrying about climate change for just a minute and address the stinking cesspool their states are rapidly becoming.
The death of the Golden State
Nonetheless, they turn a blind eye to the damage being done. The money wasted. The lip service paid to the majority, the people who are literally watching their neighborhoods crumble. Literally watching the problem fester and bloom. Before their very eyes.
From Seattle to San Diego. San Francisco to Los Angeles. From Portland to Sacramento. Democrat policies are undermining the very fabric of the state of California. And residents are turning against the homeless.
I used to live in Sherman Oaks. Now it looks like I’m living in the East Village of New York City in the early 1980s. It’s looking like the third world around here. Consequently, it is more than highly disturbing. It is a daily reality.
Moreover, it makes Los Angeles feel more like Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paolo than the shining city of the Golden State.

I think a new fundraiser likely starts tomorrow. I’ve been doing a “robot roll call” on the fundraiser threads, but danged if any of them ever speaks up. I’ll have to add Jeb here to my list. You going to cough up a dollar or two, Jeb?
I see no evidence that Yeb has ever even seen a comment.
For the month in question,
3.59 million vs. 3.98 million.
Looks like they are pretty close.
Thanks for doing the research.
I knew that but thanks for the well-explained reminder, trebb...and comments HG and JR.
You're welcome.
Apparently so!
It’s a joke, son, it’s a joke!
Just did my usual 1st of the month donation.
Here’s hoping JimRob and crew don’t have to keep pulling teeth to get it done...
