Facebook Shuts Down Account of U.S. Candidate for Senate

Erin Cruz is challenging Diane Feinstein. Two years ago she made a comment about Islam. Now, after challenging Feinstein, Facebook unearthed the old comment and shut the account down. Do you think they specifically went through her posts? Nahhhhhhhhhhhh.

  1. BFH: Dude, this used to be an awesome site but all these pop ups, re-directs and applet drops pisses me off to no end! I don’t come here to close windows and pop up or have you load stupid shit to my laptop that I have to later delete, since this is how you intend to do things here I’m out!
    There are better ways to make money, bro! I remember this site from 10 years ago when we didn’t have to deal with any of this shit!
    Good luck in all you do, Good luck to my many friends here but I’m done here!

  2. heh, social media is so passé. it was old before it started. it’s the same thing as when cb’s were popular in the 70’s, only now i don’t have to listen to someones whinny drunk voice over the airwaves. and i don’t need to go to some dingy pizza place to be disappointed to see what that voice looks like in 3D. now we can lie with a fake profile pic and actually be in russia. although it is fun to watch the sheeple swarm to a new fad and then see it implode and self destruct all in real time. now that’s entertainment.

  3. Kell,

    Our laptop Ad Supply ads are served to a single IP once every 4 hours.
    They are not redirects, and they are not applets, and they do not load anything on your computer. If they do, send me the screenshots and the urls and we will complain to the ad company and have them removed. (I have asked others that emailed me to do the same and they always emailed me back that the problem was resolved. Usually it’s a cookies issue. I’ve never had a redirect, droplet or anything that “loads” on the computer sent to me by a reader on a laptop. There have been iPhone issues, but never a laptop issue.)

    If you have your browser set to not accept cookies you’re going to get served pop unders (we do not have pop ups) every time you click something. Your browser should not be set up that way in 2018. Most sites monetizing try to limit the amount of ads the user gets by utilizing cookies.

    That ad you’re talking about pays a whopping $450 a month.
    We cannot remove $450 for the month from our monetization, if we do the site shuts down.
    It’s as simple as that.
    It would be a shame if the site shut down because moving your index finger a quarter of an inch to shut a window is so fatiguing.

    Sorry to be sarcastic, but this is exactly what you are saying.

    Keep in mind, it’s 3:15 and I’m still working on the site. I don’t get much sleep. I don’t get that much money. But I think we deliver a great product despite the necessary annoyances.

    I use the internet too. I go to dozens and dozens of sites a day. I, too, am bothered by sites that have screens and ads that appear over the content and ask you to sign up or like them or whatever it is they need to do to keep them afloat. I click them off knowing it’s the price I have to pay for the content I’m reading.

  4. “There are better ways to make money, bro!”
    So, you want Fur to shut down the site?
    Should all the Conservative blogs shut down their sites because they also have ads? Is that it?

  5. where are all the add free sites you visit kell ?

    every news site is full of them.

    keep up the good work bfh !

    the only way to fight facebook is to not use it.

  6. Kell, if there is a real problem BFH addresses it.
    There can also be quirks that happen with certain browsers that do not occur with other browsers. Try a different browser and see if that helps. There are solutions.

  7. Autoplays on the pop unders have hit me before. One started blaring like an Amber alert even though I wasn’t using my phone.

    Having said that, a goal of Facebook is to circumvent campaign finance laws. The ex post facto bannings should get the FCC involved and regulate them like any other in kind PAC.

  8. BFH: Every time I change pages here, unlike at any other site I use like Peoples Cube, Weasels, Doug Ross or Director Blue BlogSpot, Moonbattery, every time, just as the new window is loading to comments or another page, another window is opening behind it, to the left, called “engineappletdrop” or some shit like that, every time, bro, then when I close that, as I always do I somehow close the back space bar so I can’t go backwards to the original page and that a just little more than “moving my curser an inch or so”, I have to close the browser, re-open the browser, then re-load your page! EVERY time, on a 3 week old HP, brand new outta the box, the very 1st “brand new” computer I’ve ever owned! No one else in the house, I have custody of and am raising my 2 grand children, they have their own laptops and are not allowed to touch this!
    I’ve been coming here since long before Barry’s 1st reign, when MJA was still Marry Jane Anklestraps, or something like that, though I do appreciate yours and hers sarcasm, I’m an adult, you can’t ruffle my feathers as I quit giving a shit what anyone thinks of me decades ago! I used to post here under “WhiteFalcon1” then, in honor of the Airborne Regiment I served in with the 82nd Airborne, and we had a blast here mocking libtards here…VietVet, BadBrad, Depandico….LadyinRed and I used to argue almost every night here, back then, she seems to have completely into the Light and I appreciate that, for sure! All of us at all hours, hammering them (Lib/Cong) on their ground! So I DO have some history here and am not a newb! I know my way around computers!
    As you can see by the post I made, I too was up at 3am, since I don’t need half as much sleep as I’d like to have, I don’t sleep, I get up, have a coffee, open my browser, which is set to delete everything upon closing, history, cache, cookies and registry, so I understand everyone uses cookies and they’re not the issue, it the pages opening themselves in the background forcing me to close them, and as I’ve stated, also forcing me to either move along on my blog roll or close the browser and come back, I also go to WRSA, KnuckleDraggin’, I am all day long conservative and don’t even bother mocking the Lefttards anymore as the Kool-Aid is strong with full on retards…on them! And I am a HUGE fan of capitalism, make all the money you can, bro, I did, and now fully retired at 58 although that retirement comes with conditions I’ll speak on later in this! I’ve even sent some dollars that way and to a couple of your sponsors, like the T-shirt meme you put out here a few days ago on the play on Folger’s coffee, whose dark roast I love, “the BEST part of waking up is knowing Donald Trump is STILL my president”, I ordered 3, (under a separate email used for just financial stuff, ebay, etc., I don’t do amozon or support anyone anti-American) one for each of my grand children and me! That’s over $100 to one of your sponsors, so I get THAT part of things bro and have no issues with anyone making money, its part of why we’re conservative although I will never personally identify as a ‘republican’ as I never have, I’m not! The republican party stop representing us years ago, and why anyone would keep sending those clowns back is beyond me! I’m more Tea Party before there WAS a Tea Party, so I’ve thrown some money to your sponsors, have donated every year to your site fund raiser, as well as others, and to folks here, for whatever reason, who may have gone down for a minute, accidents, illnesses, death,natural disasters, (WE went through that shit together)I like this site, no shit!
    So, as I said, I’m not a “newb” and its really not possible that any of you can offend me, I’m an adult and can take what I give, the result of growing up hard in Cleveland, raising 4 kids, the last 2 alone, breaking my back in 2 places and jumping out of perfectly good airplanes for 8 years, I can handle myself and have apologized here, publicly when I’ve been called out or made a mistake! Its called growing up!
    If you doubt any of this, you can use your “way back machine” and go looking for my email address from back then, which was kmays062561@yahoo.com, and my avatar, when I chose to use one, was always an 82nd Airborne motif with the name “WhiteFalcon1”, spelled exactly that way! I stepped out for a few years in order to deal with some health issues related to the broken back (Drs found a 3rd fracture at T-10, which somehow they missed with the countless MRI’s and CT scans…no big! I’ll survive but I’m in incredible pain, that’s going to be the rest of my life, (I also spoke of the back back then) but I’m also alive and Thank my Lord daily for that! I shouldn’t be alive a couple times over!)and I’m as well as I’m gonna be! That’s fine, sometimes pain can have a focusing effect, which is why I’m tat sleeved, both arms, something else we’ve argued about here back then! I’m me, ya’ll be you, and hopefully for the most part, we’ll get along, its how I live my life!
    So, I’ll stop back throughout the day and check comments here and will accept and appreciate any and all constructive criticism, I’m a man, not a pussy like most lib/cong/tards (the lib/cong I stole from VietVet years ago), I’ll respect y’all, y’all respect me as best you can and life goes on! IF there’s anything I can do to resolve these issues, I certainly will, as I said, this is one of the 1st sites I EVER commented to and after a while, felt among family at, here or at Zips!
    Look forward to continuing this conversation and hopefully resolving whatever the issue is, though when I click the post tab, I will have to reload your front page, then reload this comment section, then delete the “engineapplet” shit again, to continue, as deleting the “engineapplet” shit, also takes my back space bar with it!

    Talk to you later!
    MAGA!

  9. The only Senator with both the brains and the balls to point out the Stalinist habits of Facebook was Ted. He nailed Zuck (note it rhymes with f***)accurately and honestly. The rest lied! Some say they lied because they were on Fuck’s payroll. I give the benefit of doubt to the other morons; for being too dumb to understand what Fuck has been – and obviously still is – doing.

  10. Nobody ever reads past a couple of sentences, better brief than boxer.
    I use an ad block, then again, I kick in some magic beans for the bowl occasionally, my conscience is clear.

  11. I’ve even sent some dollars that way and to a couple of your sponsors, like the T-shirt meme you put out here a few days ago on the play on Folger’s coffee, whose dark roast I love, “the BEST part of waking up is knowing Donald Trump is STILL my president”, I ordered 3, (under a separate email used for just financial stuff, ebay, etc., I don’t do amozon or support anyone anti-American) one for each of my grand children and me! That’s over $100 to one of your sponsors,>>

    They’re not our sponsors. I have nothing to do with them. We don’t make a nickel on anything we ever post as an article. A reader sent the post in and said he loved the shirt. I liked it, so we promoted it. I’m glad you liked it too, but it did not benefit me in any way other than making me smile knowing some people are pissing people off by wearing it.

    On another note, you said you have your browser set to delete cookies after every session.
    That’s why you’re going to get more ads than you’re supposed to be seeing.

    You said the ad window opens to the left or behind the content, and you immediately close it and it deletes your backspace ability?

    I use a laptop and I’m not having that experience. It’s hard for me to troubleshoot or explain a problem to the Ad Supply tech guys if they cannot replicate it on their end.
    I know it’s a pain in the ass, but if you can screenshot the problem and send it to me, that helps. EVEN BETTER, a screen shot movie (on a mac it’s done in quicktime) of the entire fiasco, and that would be sent to the Ad Supply tech team.

    When I click on something I will notice something happened (like a momentary heartbeat) and I know there is an ad underneath the window that I will see when I eventually close the iOTW window.
    I routinely have multiple windows open, so I just let it sit there. It doesn’t do anything to just let it sit there. And I’m certainly not ever using the backspace button as part of navigating the site.

    As Rat Fink said, and it’s the truth, we have 1000s of readers, all who use a different computer, or device, on different browsers in different locations. My goal is to make every reader’s experience as smooth as possible, and that goal is unattainable, yet I obsess over it, to the point where I exasperate the ad suppliers. They hate me.

    I take every reader’s experience very seriously, my blogging friends know that and they shake their heads at me as if to say I’m being a fool (because they see how much it pains me.)
