With that documentary, was going to point out how history and context make so much of a difference. Glad people commented about it. At the beginning of the A&E show, the guys (including Johnny Carson) really make fun of Sammy. If you just saw that portion, at this moment in time, it would seem "racist". But then you find out that Sinatra met Sammy when he was 16 (Sammy never attended a day of school because his Dad kept him on the road entertaining) and protected, defended and helped him immeasurably. Sinatra put it on the line for Sammy. I was around Sammy and Sinatra (worked for Liza and her manager was also Frank's), I have a gift from Sammy of a photo album of him from Japan. It's a good reminder, never scanned those pix and they are original one of a kinds, will look for the album and put a few pix up when I can. Sammy's wife Altovise was a dear person too.
Anyway, meanwhile idiot Harmeet Dillon files a frivolous lawsuit. This is from a stupid RWNJ blog called "The DC Patriot":
Lawsuit Filed Against Democrats For Censoring Americans Tweets About Election Outcome
June 19, 2021 No Comments
As you know there’s a lot of talk about audits in not just Arizona, but soon to be Nevada, Michigan, and Georgia, and at the height of those talks is censorship. When Americans began to question what was happening during the 2020 elections, they were censored, told they couldn’t question the outcome of an election, and deplatformed, suspended, or banned from Facebook, Twitter, among other sites. That’s right, the supposed freest nation in the world was censoring its citizens and their ability to question something that they didn’t like. Something you’d see in Communist or Marxist regimes. Now a new lawsuit has been filed.
The lawsuit has been filed to hold government officials accountable for what they did. Conspiring with private companies to achieve was is a violation of First Amendment rights. The Center for American Liberty has just sued the California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, his agents, and Twitter for their plot to stifle dissent during the 2020 election. Dhillon Law and Liberty Center founder Harmeet Dhillon announced the massive legal case on Thursday. “We at [Liberty Center] just filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against former CA Secretary of State turned US Sen. Alex Padilla, #Twitter, and more for the Govt’s role in Twitter banning attorney Rogan O’Handley,” Dhillon notes. In the Center for Liberty’s press release it points to the discriminatory practices brought against conservative commentator and lawyer Rogan Handley.
Like many expressing concerns over the 2020 election, Rogan found himself the target of the California Office of Elections Cybersecurity. From November 2020 to February 2021, Rogan tweeted a series of messages—calling for an audit of every California ballot, a commission to study the 2020 election results, and raising concern over voter fraud—only to be swiftly “flagged” by leftist operatives working as an agent of the California Secretary of State who in turn instructed Twitter to remove Rogan’s tweets.
But that is not the worst of it… In February 2021, Twitter permanently suspended Rogan altogether for tweeting, “Most votes in American history.” This tweet proved too much for the snowflakes at Twitter who in turn permanently suspended his account for supposedly violating “rules about election integrity.” The actions of then California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, his agents, and Twitter are outrageous. Government cannot censor speech on the basis of viewpoint, but that is exactly what happened here. Documents that are part of a new lawsuit show that the State of California had a “rapid response team” that flagged election tweets for removal by Twitter. “California Democrats have access to a rapid response team at Twitter, which takes down tweets at the request of Democrats,” Cernovich stated. Can you imagine if Republicans had a digital response team that was getting liberals tweets removed. The wall to wall media coverage would be unstoppable from the mainstream media.

As we've learned from Dr. Shiva's lawsuit, ALL STATES have a special reporting tool with access to Twitter's team. It doesn't mean Twitter will comply (in the Dr. Shiva case, the tweet that was reported was NOT taken down). Kabuki theatre to grift the marks. Again.
Of course, there's a case page at
https://libertycenter.org/cases/ohandley-v-padilla/ with a huge DONATE button. Getting so sick and tired of this grifting, Harmeet knows damn well that this is going nowhere. Understand people can lose their money however they want, but there really should be some kind of consumer protection, a lot of these marks are innocent and don't understand.
