Neil Young is suing Donald Trump's re-election campaign for repeatedly using his music without his permission.

The rock star says the US president breached copyright laws by playing his songs at political rallies and events.

This song title by Neil Young might fit into the context.

On the back of that album:

"Lyndon Johnson bared his scars,
American Stars and Bars. "

The Prez likes to hear "Rockin' in the Free World" at his rallys, he should listen to all the words to understand their context.

I must say it is hilarious in way.

While BBC Word News, our Danish News channel and most probably the Swedish News channel was broadcasting from Beirut-
CNN was covering.......Yes you got it..President Trump.

Made me laugh If the world should come to an end day after tomorrow
Every news channel will be broadcasting this. Except CNN.

Back to political discussion.

That CNN does not choose it is in my eyes not strange ... a channel that consists of a lot of left-wing people with rather skewed political messages and clear angles in political correctness.

New York Attorney General Moves To Dissolve The NRA After Fraud Investigation
https://www.npr.org/2020/08/06/89971...=1596728352732

Quote:

The Attorney General of New York took action today to dissolve the National Rifle Association, following an 18-month investigation that found evidence the powerful gun rights group is "fraught with fraud and abuse."

Attorney General Letitia James claims in a lawsuit filed Thursday that she found financial misconduct in the millions of dollars, and that it contributed to a loss of more than $64 million over a three year period.

Good riddance

He knows very well that we are a Constitutional Republic made up (currently) of 50 states. He knows that the states elect the president, not the people directly and that this is by design so that a small group of states find it much more difficult to dominate the smaller ones. Call it a benefit of membership in the United STATES of America. A slightly more powerful voice for the small and a slightly tempered voice for the large.

It is apparently a concept that is quite alien (feindlich) to guys like him.
