For the past few months, I’ve posted side-profile photos of my car on Facebook. The photos were taken in several locations, such as stopped at a McDonald’s drive-thru or parked in front of Family Dollar, Safeway Grocery store, Denny’s, Walmart, a movie theatre, including other Havasu and Kingman businesses. No big deal you’d think, other than the fact my vehicle has a portrait on the right rear passenger window, of Donald Trump riding in the back seat, giving a big thumbs up.
That evidently doesn’t conform to Facebook’s community policy, with me getting a notice saying exactly this. I’m currently shut down from posting for 24 hours. When my jail time expires, I always make sure to post another similar shot, and sure enough, another 24 hours in the pokey. It’d be easy to just say adios, yet I keep hoping they’ll “86” me from the site instead. That would be worthy of a medal or blue ribbon at the very least. Some of my friends laugh, saying they can’t believe I’m still allowed on there.
Years ago, I sent editorials to a liberal newspaper in Anchorage, Alaska. The editorial page editor at that time, Michael Carey, eventually shut me down from getting anything printed. When I inquired as to why, he had no answer. Michael is a decent guy, as I’d met him one time. I had to assume he was merely trying to protect me from leftwing lunatics.
There were a few over the years taking a dislike to my opinions. I wore that newspaper “censorship” as a crown, only being outdone by my friend, Jeff Thimsen, for getting his point across without writing or uttering a word.
Jeff has a yellow “Anchorage Daily News” newspaper tube, that is mounted underneath his mailbox. He cleverly replaced the News part to read Lies. When Google Earth, photographed his neighborhood, that part of the picture was intentionally blurred. Jeff told me that people often stopped in front of the house, solely to snap photos of that tube.
It seems that on Facebook, if a person conforms to the left, or what I call the twisted side of things—all is good. Romans 12:2 tells me this: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Simply put, this verse says not to be shaped by the wicked culture around us.
The opening program to the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France, is an example of the wicked culture around us. Some non-Christians saw no harm in a bunch of perverted individuals making light of the Lord’s Supper. Had these French citizens done the same regarding the Islamic faith, those actors would have a price on their heads, and rightly so. It’s called blasphemy in their religion.
Facebook seems to be okay with leftist viewpoints being featured here and there on their site without censorship, yet the same can’t be said for articles written from a conservative perspective. The “anything goes” crowd, as I like to call them, seems to be able to get away with posting almost anything.
I highly doubt Mark Zuckerberg is sitting back watching what Michael Hankins posts. AI, or Artificial Intelligence, does it for him. These bots have to be programmed what to look for, with it quite evident a leftist slant and a dislike for Donald Trump is part of that programming.
Deciding to change things up a bit, and to be a bit more fair, along with humoring myself, I looked for a similar Kamala Harris photograph to place on the left side of my Jeep. Searching and searching through various venues, the one and only window sticker I came across of her is not flattering. If that’s all there is available, it’ll have to do for this experiment.
My plan is to start all over again, drive to the same places I took “The Donald” and snap pictures from the left side, featuring Kamala. Posting those on my Facebook page, it’ll be interesting to see what Mark Zuckerbot does this time.
All in the name of a laugh, because to me, that’s what Facebook has come down to!
