Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

When I go to Powerlineblog.com, after a click view of the page the screen goes blank....

I get a suspected malware popup from my antivirus.
Then it appears to be blacklisted by it at the DNS level.

No trouble whatsoever here.

No trouble with Powerline.

Powerline working here too however I'm curious about what you're saying with the photo.

Behind closed doors the Democrats have hatched a scheme to win the presidency. They are going to provoke Russia into attacking Eastern Europe/NATO and use the "emergency" to try to convince voters not to "change horses in the middle of the stream", yes that will be the phrase every news reader parrots on TV. Not too soon, maybe September, but it's hard to predict exactly. Aren't you glad the Democrats are protecting you???

For what it's worth aspirin doesn't prevent "heart disease" it prevents blood clots which can becomes lodged in the heart causing a heart attack. Your heart can be 100% healthy and have zero "heart disease" and a blood clot can give you a heart attack and can kill you. If you do have a heart attack the single best thing you can do for yourself immediately even before the ambulance shows up is to take an aspirin. It will quickly begin to help dissolve any blood clots. I'm not a doctor, feel free to not take my advice.

Powerline works for me but the 'net has been kinda wonky for a couple of weeks.

I’m starting to think that everything good and noble is white supremacy.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter - Isaiah 5:20

No trouble with Powerline. If you're having trouble, it must be the extreme heat. What else could it be?

Expecting websites to load every time, is a form of white supremacy.

Poweline always thinks I’m a robot. I blame cloudflare. It’s ok until they don’t like what you say, then it’s no traffic for you.

That has also been my Powerline experience for at least several weeks. Don't remember when it started.

Interesting timing.

Taking a page from the Dems' playbook?:

Since they started using the "I am a Human" verification, I had to take a few extra steps to add it as an authorized website on my Kamo and Malwarebytes filters. It still occasionally comes up with the click here thing, but then goes right to the site. Also, certain ad blockers, and MS Edge, can interfere. Good luck
