Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Has Publishing
Deal Scrapped Over Israel Comments: Report
Posted By: JunkYardDog, 1/30/2024 6:09:20 PM
A powerhouse music rights label is preparing to sever its ties to Roger Waters as a direct result of the legendary British rocker’s inflammatory comments about Israel and Ukraine, sources familiar with the matter told Variety on Tuesday. The Berlin-based BMG, a firm that acts as both a music publisher and record label, first inked a publishing deal with Waters in 2016. But that deal is being scrapped in the wake of Waters’ vocal criticism of Israel, which some—including ex-bandmate David Gilmour—have characterized as antisemitic.

When Chinese nationals confronted a British man over the right to use their images in public, he had no idea the exchange would become a viral video that fascinated millions.
"You're obviously not used to democracy," Brendan Kavanagh, the British man in the video, said at one particularly hot moment during the clash at St. Pancras train station in London. The fight ultimately ended with threats of legal action and the police getting involved to deescalate.
One of climate alarmists’ favorite predictions is that the Arctic is losing its ice due to global warming, something elites have claimed for decades. New data shows, however, that Arctic ice is actually increasing! Climate has always changed and will continue to do so until the real apocalypse (not the fake one climate alarmists have been predicting as imminent for decades). With more than 50 years of failed climate change predictions behind them and a track record of consistent and total untrustworthiness, you’d think that the doom prophets would have given up.
US Airways Flight 1549 made a miraculous emergency landing in the Hudson River on this day in history, Jan. 15, 2009.
The maneuver occurred shortly after the US Airways Airbus A320 aircraft left LaGuardia Airport in New York City for Charlotte, North Carolina.
Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, along with first officer Jeffrey Skiles, manned the plane, which had been delivered new to US Airways in 1999.
"The View" co-host Joy Behar faced intense backlash on social media after suggesting President Biden may lose the 2024 election if former President Donald Trump is not defeated via legal intervention.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said she personally warned President Biden about his re-election efforts and the importance of Muslim and young voters, who feel "heartbroken" about the Israel-Hamas war.
CBS Minnesota anchor Esme Murphy asked the far-left "Squad" member about an "abandon Biden" movement, and asked her if she would support the president in 2024.
"I recently had a conversation with the president," she responded. "Muslims were very pivotal to his election, they mobilized in all the key states. Young people were very instrumental in getting him elected. And what I reminded him is that he needs to listen to these voices
The Biden administration quietly rescinded a Trump-era regulation allowing companies to transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) via rail in a victory for environmental groups.
In a federal filing Friday ahead of the holiday weekend, the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) formally suspended the 2020 authorization of LNG transportation in rail tank cars. The rule will remain in effect until either a permanent rule regarding LNG rail tank car transportation is proposed and finalized — a process that may take several months — or June 30, 2025.
Oberlin College women’s lacrosse head coach Kim Russell broke her silence about transgender inclusion in women’s sports in a documentary for the Independent Women’s Forum on Tuesday.
Russell, who became the head coach of the Yeowomen before the start of the 2019 season, talked about how administrators and her players ridiculed her after she posted on her personal social media account a message about Lia Thomas winning an NCAA Championship in the 500 in 2022.
In the video, Russell reposted a headline sarcastically congratulating then-Virginia swim star Emma Weyant for the victory over Thomas, a transgender female.
A Florida jury has found former Parkland school resource officer Scot Peterson not guilty on all counts.
Peterson faced seven counts of felony child neglect and was the first law enforcement officer in the U.S. to face criminal charges stemming from his alleged inaction during an active school shooting.

A Friday morning session in the unicameral Nebraska legislature devolved into chaos after one Democratic lawmaker began shouting her support for transgender people amid a debate on a bill to ban sex change procedures for minors in the state.
The bill, which was ultimately approved by lawmakers and sent to Republican Gov. Jim Pillen's desk to become law, bans sex change procedures for minors, as well as abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy.
In voicing her disapproval to the measure Friday morning, state Democrat Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh slapped the lectern and repeatedly shouted: "Transgender people belong here, we need trans people, we love trans people."

Things are going to roll out exactly the way they are easily predicted to roll out, as long as people stop pretending. An NBC article highlights South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn as one of the central players in the game of Biden. As the article notes, Clyburn heads into the AME Church network, worried that young black voters might not support the game. The emphasis within the article is essentially correct, but the narrative framework is fraught with pretending.

FBI director warns 27 replies
Chinese government hackers are busily targeting water treatment plants, the electrical grid, transportation systems and other critical infrastructure inside the United States, FBI Director Chris Wray will tell House lawmakers on Wednesday in a fresh warning from Washington about Beijing’s global ambitions.
Wray will say that that there’s been “far too little public focus” on a cyber threat that affects “every American,” according to a copy of prepared remarks that he is to give before the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.
For days we’ve been waiting to hear what Joe Biden and the Bidenites are planning to do after three of our service members were killed in a drone strike at Tower 22, an American outpost on the border of Syria and Jordan—are we getting into another war or not? We’re already involved in Ukraine’s conflict… we’re buckling under the military invasion at our southern border… we’re being pulled into war with the Houthis… we’re entangled in Israel’s campaign against Hamas… and now this? Let me preface this with a profane language warning, but it seems like everyone is getting pretty fed up with multiple warfronts… even leftist MSNBC pundits:
Over the past seven years, many Democratic politicians have been elevated as liberal heroes of “the Resistance.” Perhaps none may have been more overrated by a loving liberal media than Stacey Abrams. Abrams rose to stardom during the 2018 election cycle, hailed as the Democrat who could flip Georgia blue while running for governor. She ended up losing in a Democratic-wave year and claiming that the election was stolen from her. She refused to concede, and yet she was not given the election-denier treatment as Republicans were after 2020. Instead, she was humored all the way to her 2022 campaign
A Department of Defense (DOD) office invited two experts to discuss their new book on far-right terrorism in the U.S. as part of a new series featuring guest speakers, the Daily Caller News Foundation has learned. (snip) Bruce Hoffman, a professor at Georgetown University and senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and Jacob Ware, a research fellow at CFR, were scheduled Tuesday to present their book,which purports to trace right-wing domestic terrorism through U.S. history, characterizing the Ku Klux Klan and some groups involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots seeking to reverse the 2020 election as part of the same narrative.
E. Jean Carroll’s recent and gross appearance on the Rachel Maddow show where she fantasized about spending Trump’s money was an instructive moment.
It showed just how depraved the anti-Trump left can be as Carroll seemed to be celebrating with Maddow and guests joining in.
Megyn Kelly thinks it plays right into Trump’s hands.
RedState reports: Megyn Kelly Thinks E. Jean Carroll’s Remarks on Maddow Show Could Hand Trump the Election..As we reported, E. Jean Carroll was awarded more than $83 million as part of a defamation lawsuit by a New York jury on Friday.

A deprived Boston community has been left 'on fire' after the governor of Massachusetts requisitioned a vital rec center to house the surge of migrants arriving in the city.
Democrat Maura Healey was accused of treating the Roxbury neighborhood 'like garbage' after she locked residents out of the Melnea A. Cass Recreational Complex with less than 48 hours notice.
She insisted it was needed to house the new arrivals, dozens of whom have been sleeping rough in the city's airport for months. But residents in the majority-black neighborhood demanded she explain why their cherished facilities had been chosen to take the hit.
French President Emmanuel Macron is reminding the European leaders of their responsibility to fund the multinational corporate war machine, especially if the United States doesn’t find a way to send $60 billion more in funding for the effort.
(Via Politico) – European countries must make bold and “innovative” decisions to help Ukraine even if the U.S. backs off from supporting Kyiv in the coming months, French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday.
[…] Europe must not delegate its security “to big powers, even if they are very good allies, because they live on the other side of the ocean,” he said.

For Gun Prosecution By Biden Justice Department 15 replies
Hunter Biden’s legal team is doubling down on its attempt to pin his federal gun prosecution on pressure from House Republicans and former President Donald Trump.
Biden’s attorneys filed a reply motion Tuesday in support of his claim that the Biden administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) is selectively prosecuting him for federal gun crimes committed in Delaware and therefore the case should be dismissed. (Snip) “That is, until Mr. Weiss was under pressure and heavy criticism from Republican extremists arose. In response to that outcry from former President Trump, extremist House Republicans and right-wing media looking to make Mr. Biden’s fate a political issue in the next presidential election,
Poor communication and a refusal to adapt to evolving scientific evidence led to unnecessary school closures and the restriction of outdoor activity during the Covid outbreak, contributing to the “pandemic chaos” that plagued the country for more than two years, a scathing report published Monday revealed.
The report, “Pandemic lessons for the 2024 presidential election,” was published in the British Medical Journal and draws on a breadth of scientific studies to assess the policy failures that led to significantly higher death rates in the U.S. than in other developed countries.
“During the devastating global covid-19 pandemic, one nation stood out: the United States saw ‘eye wateringly high’ death rates compared with
Former President Donald Trump has a towering 35-point lead over his last remaining Republican primary opponent, former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC), in South Carolina, according to a Fabrizio, Lee & Associates poll conducted for the pro-Trump MAGA Inc. PAC.

The DOJ announced Attorney General Merrick Garland will temporarily delegate his duties to the deputy AG while he undergoes back surgery this weekend.
Garland will become the second high-profile member of the Biden administration to hand over his post for medical reasons in as many months.
The announcement arrives just as Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin returns to work at the Pentagon following a roughly month-long hospitalization that was initially kept secret from the American people, as well as the president.

Growing up, I was a huge Pink Floyd fan (and still am), but I've grown to really dislike Roger Waters. A multi-millionaire who despises the capitalist system who made him rich, his hatred for Israel and Donald Trump really turns me off. Oh, and he fired Rick Wright during the recording of The Wall (in retrospect, a poor album with too much filler). His political views also torpedoed some deals involving the band's catalog, which means. he's still screwing Gilmour & Mason. Set the controls for the sphincter in your @ss, Roger.
