Directly To Spam: Memo

Original Article

A Republican consulting firm is warning that Google’s Gmail platform is disproportionately flagging Republican fundraising messages as spam while allowing similar Democratic solicitations to reach inboxes. [Snip] The firm said emails containing links to the Republican fundraising platform WinRed were, “in many cases, sending them directly to spam,” while identical test messages with links to the Democratic platform ActBlue were “delivered without issue.”

Since other recent posts have declared open season on Apple and Meta, just a reminder here that Google is just as deserving of derision...

That is a perfect example of why you should not trust anything on the internet. Do your own research using more than one source of information. People shrug now and say it is only mail that is being affected but when people use it for their only source of information they might seriously regret it.

I think this is because conservatives are more likely to mark any kind of political fundraising message as spam and have it automatically sent to Junk Mail. That's what I do. If I want to give you money, I'll find you.

I quit using Google. It looks to me that they also slant their search results. There are other options for searches.

What NOT a surprise. libs companies like Google use sneaky, underhanded tactics like this. When they are discovered doing this, we should fine them $1 for every biased spam redirection they make. That could roll up fast into serious money. Senders could send to target systems properly configured NOT to treat these emails as spam and see where the email ends up. Then start the lawsuits for BIG bucks and PUBLICIZE what they are doing. It's time to pull out the dope slap sticks and make these jerks hurt.

Solicitations from both parties should go directly to spam. The campaign season has expanded from a few months to four years of constant begging for money. They send you a lengthy questionaire full of Mr. Obvious type questions and don't allow submission without attaching a donation. To me that is a direct indication of where their interests lie, your wallet, not your answers.

There are plenty of other email programs out there that don’t disproportionately target conservatives. Don’t see this as business as usual. This is yet another rotten, fetid Democrat toxicity (like DEI) that needs to stop.

"Don't be evil." That was the famous motto of Google when it emerged from the dorm room in which it was created. I guess they forgot their founding principle, if they ever believed it.

Russian reporters are whining about having to sleep on cots and being served old tuna for breakfast while covering the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska — but their own country may actually be to blame. The Kremlin journalists griped that they’ve had to rough it on portable beds with no sheets set up at the Alaska Airlines Center sports arena in Anchorage, where they were hardly able to make phone calls. They — gasp — even had to get by without bottled water.

Retired British Army Colonel Richard Kemp has said the primary risk the UK faces is from an alliance “of the hard left and Islamist extremists” and that he fears civil war because politicians are too myopic to take action. Colonel Richard Kemp, a high-profile Infantry officer who fought counter insurgency on home ground in Northern Ireland in the 1980s, served in the Gulf war and Bosnia, commanded an Afghanistan operation, and who had political-facing senior roles in Westminster including the powerful Joint Intelligence Committee and the Cabinet Office crisis centre COBRA, has expressed concern about unrest and even civil war potentially breaking out in Britain.

“India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits,” U.S. President Donald Trump posted last week on Truth Social. “They don’t care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA.” These words directly implicate buyers of Russian oil as accomplices in the murder of tens of thousands of Ukrainian people in the war started by the Kremlin on 24 February 2022, as indeed they have been.

George Soros turns 95 today, and for his birthday present America brought him the annihilation of his legacy. Soros has been known for two things: making money and spending it on political influence. Over the last few years, he has handed over control of his empire to his son, Alex, and Alex seems unable to do either of those things successfully. [Snip] The second election of Donald Trump—in a race where crime, immigration, and the IRA were three of the major issues—was America’s personal slap to George Soros’ face. Today, on his 95th birthday, his legacy is in shambles. Happy Birthday, George!
China Urges Tech Giants To Avoid Nvidia

Beijing is quietly discouraging Chinese firms, particularly those tied to state and/or national security interests, from using Nvidia's H20 AI chips, even after the Trump administration reversed a U.S. sales ban in exchange for 15% of related revenue. The move follows Beijing's concerns over a potential "backdoor" in the H20, an allegation Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has rejected. The report comes from the Financial Times, which states that regulators at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) instructed tech companies, such as Alibaba and ByteDance, to explain why they need H20 chips instead of sourcing domestic alternatives.

Sitting alongside Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko on Valaam Island near St. Petersburg, Putin said the military already has selected deployment sites in Belarus for the Oreshnik intermediate range ballistic missile.“Preparatory work is ongoing, and most likely we will be done with it before the year’s end,” Putin said, adding that the first series of Oreshniks and their systems have been produced and entered military service.

President Trump warned Russia’s former President Dmitry Medvedev that he risks entering “dangerous territory” after he slammed the US deadline for a cease-fire in Ukraine as “a step towards war.” “Tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he’s still President, to watch his words. He’s entering very dangerous territory!” Trump said on Truth Social Thursday morning regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin’s top ally. Trump announced Monday to reporters in Scotland that he was pushing up a 50-day deadline he gave Russia to end the war, now calling for the three-year invasion of Ukraine to end within 10 to 12 days.

CNN on Tuesday aired a segment about a family that chose to self-deport to Mexico from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, under President Donald Trump’s second administration. The Trump administration offers illegal immigrants who self-deport through the CBP Home app a free flight back to their home nation, a $1,000 stipend and forgiveness of any fines incurred for failing to follow through on a previous deportation order, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in June. On “Anderson Cooper 360,” CNN immigration correspondent Priscilla Alvarez reported the inside story of the family, which consists of an illegal immigrant Mexican father with a citizen wife and three children.

Don’t be disappointed if you’re anxious to attend the Biden Presidential Library’s opening. It almost certainly will never exist. D.C. swampsters are trying to bury the record, hoping the public forgets how bad things were. Its subject will soon be either in the ground or too incapacitated to solicit funding. Biden staffers retaining criminal defense counsel have no interest in a library containing evidence for prosecutors to mine. No reporters from press outlets complicit in enabling chaos are hounding Biden. DOGE revelations testify to his administration's wholesale graft. FBI servers were purged of controversial data, unburdening what had been.

The U.S. Department of State announced Saturday morning that it was stopping a visa program that allowed residents of Gaza to enter the United States for "medical-humanitarian" reasons. This comes after videos of large groups of Gazans—often decked out in "Palestinian" flags and keffiyehs associated with the terror group Hamas—arriving at airports across the nation began popping up on social media in the last few weeks. According to this State Department tweet, the program is being paused while officials review the "process and procedures" that have allowed a stream of injured children from Gaza, often accompanied by several family members, into the country.

Nine Democrat officials pleaded not guilty this week to felony election-fraud charges in one of the most significant ballot-harvesting cases in recent Texas history. The charges were brought by Attorney General Ken Paxton after a two-year investigation that uncovered what prosecutors describe as an organized scheme to manipulate mail-in ballots in rural South Texas. Six of the defendants appeared in person at a Pearsall courtroom on Wednesday, while three others joined remotely through Zoom. Among those charged is Juan Manuel Medina, the former chairman of the Bexar County Democrat Party. Medina’s attorney filed a motion to dismiss the charges, arguing that the prosecution is politically motivated,
