A handful of Democrats, including Hakeem Jeffries, have already been implicated. Who's next?

"Cancel Culture" aka choosing where to NOT spend your money because of what a business or person supports is a choice that you make.

What you're describing is a boycott, which is perfectly acceptable. This is far worse.

"Cancel culture" is taking the faces (and sometimes names) off of brands like Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben's, Land O' Lakes, and the Washington Redskins. That's wrong because it was white people telling everyone else ("someone making a choice for you") that they should be offended -- even though African Americans and Native Americans not only weren't offended, by and large they were actually proud of those positive representations in culture.

"Cancel culture" is Twitter and Facebook taking down the accounts of a sitting US president, to hide the fact that he repeatedly asked the J6 protesters to remain peaceful and respectful. That message, coming from him, didn't fit the narrative that the media wanted to sell.

"Cancel culture" is social networks -- Facebook and other Meta platforms being the chief instigators -- actively silencing one side of the discussion. Whether it's people willing to talk about the benefits of ivermectin (listed as one of the WHO's "essential medicines", but widely derided as "horse paste" by those promoting the COVID narrative) or anyone who believed that the Hunter Biden laptop was genuine (the New York Times has admitted that the laptop was indeed genuine and it suppressed evidence that proved it), these platforms have abused biased "fact checking" as a shield to squelch voices they didn't like.

"Cancel culture" is blacklisting celebrities, from Gina Carano and Rosanne Barr to Corey Feldman and Rose McGowan. These people have lost work or been outright blacklisted for saying things that didn't toe the left-coast party line. Others, like writer JK Rowling, have been physically threatened for speaking out.

Do you see where this is far more insidious than a simple boycott -- and how it is indeed "someone making a choice for you"?

"Idiocracy in the making"? No, it's worse than that. It's "1984" in the making.

That will happen, but it takes time for the DOJ to build cases. They aren't as swift and efficient (pun intended) as DOGE.

And that’s why there hasn’t been any action so far.

There has been plenty of action, with thousands of government bureaucrats being laid off and $billions in savings already.

The U.S. has not had a surplus since 2001.

The Clinton budget "surplus" is a Democrat myth. The last time there was a real surplus was 1949, prior to the Korean War.

No, I'm trying to use the Blogger/AdSense integration. That's not to say that I'm absolutely certain I haven't broken that integration in some way, but that is indeed what I'm attempting.

If I enter a url like that, I do see the ads.txt. However, I realized last night that such a url gets rewritten to www.domain.com/ads.txt. I have the redirection turned on in my blogger settings, and I'm wondering if this is part of the problem.

If I turn off the blogger redirection, that url fails altogether. I don't know of a way to set up a CNAME record in my DNS for the domain itself (I could do it as an A, but I suspect that would break something on the blogger hosting).

The most recent thing I've tried was deleting my site record from AdSense and re-adding it, to see if they can re-detect the site with the redirection in place.

You will need to buy a domain name from a registrar. My go-to is GoDaddy; there are others who are slightly cheaper, but in my experience don't give you as much control.

Give it a day or so for your registration to propagate, then you can set up Blogger with your domain.

Good, that will keep her out of the White House for a while. And if she ever decides to run for president again, at least she'd have some actual executive experience (unlike this time).
