Are you posting about the shocking assassination attempt on Wednesday upon the Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico? Well, a warning. You and the Big Tech platform you are posting on can be punished for spreading "disinformation' if the European Commission, the increasingly authoritarian cabinet government of the European Union, has its way. On Thursday, Bloomberg published the warning of impending EU censorship on this topic in an article by Peter Chapman and Samuel Stolton in "EU Monitoring ‘Spread of Disinformation’ on Fico Shooting." The story subtitles also provide these ominous censorship warnings: "Regulators can punish platforms that fail to stem fake news" "EU’s new Digital Services Act imposes tough rules on Big Tech" And please be warned that the European Commission could be actively "monitoring" YOU: The European Commission said it’s “actively monitoring” the spread of fake news about Wednesday’s shooting Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and warned it can slap Big Tech platforms with fines for failing to tackle disinformation. Fake news aka disinformation is information that the mainstream media and censors in various countries do not want you to see. Do you remember when suggesting that there might have been a Wuhan lab leak was considered to be "disinformation?" Ditto the Hunter Biden laptop. The regulator “is equipped with wide-ranging investigatory and supervisory powers, including the power to impose sanctions and remedies,” it said in an emailed statement....Violations could be punished under the European Union’s tough new Digital Services Act, which forces online platforms to put into place measures to tackle illegal content and disinformation, uphold user rights, and protect user’s health and wellbeing. Oh please, please protect our health and wellbeing from dangerous Thoughtcrimes! Under the Digital Services Act, the bloc has singled out multiple online platforms and search engines last year as large entities worthy of scrutiny. That includes X, Meta Platforms Inc., Alphabet Inc. and others with more than 45 million monthly active users in Europe. Which of the Big Tech platforms will abide by the dictates of the Orwellian Digital Services Act? Looking at you, YouTube! Russian state media has claimed that the political motivation behind the shooting was Fico’s criticism of pro-Ukrainian aid. The alleged perp was recorded loudly protesting Fico's criticism of Ukraine aid, so does that mean the platforms carrying that video will be fined or otherwise punished by the self-styled arbiters of "truth?"

Nellie Bowles, a former journalist for the New York Times, has recently warned that the mainstream liberal media is playing an important role in pushing along a progressive agenda, according to Fox News Digital.In her new book, "Morning After the Revolution," Bowles delves into topics she could not cover while at the New York Times. Some of these issues include cancel culture, transgender procedures for youth, and the origins of the pandemic.Bowles appeared on "America's Newsroom" on Wednesday, saying that "[a]s a reporter at The Times, it was very frustrating to have to put blinders on my curiosity," adding that as a result, she "set out to write this book and ended up quitting the paper. And each chapter is a little bit of a journey and a feature of what I kind of would have written if I had stayed on staff."'When you're in the progressive world, as soon as you question any of it, you're called a fascist.'Bari Weiss—former New York Times journalist and Bowles' wife—recently published a piece, writing that "curiosity is what got Nellie kicked out of the club. But it gave her a place in a new club, the one that we at 'The Free Press' think that the majority of Americans are actually in."“I became a reporter because I didn't trust authority figures. . . . As a reporter, I spent over a decade working to follow that curiosity," Bowles said. "It was hard to suddenly turn that off. It was hard to constantly censor what I was seeing, to close one eye and try very hard not to notice anything inconvenient, especially when there was so much to see.”Bowles went on to say that working for the Times was originally her dream job, but she soon discovered that the topics she wanted to investigate and write about were "beyond the purview of a Times reporter."After Bowles left the Times, she and Weiss started the Free Press. She said she did not have a specific plan to go out and change minds, but she simply wanted to raise questions about issues she felt were important, especially those related to progressive policies.Bowles said: "I'm from San Francisco. I lived there my whole life. If you're not looking around and seeing the streets and starting to question some of the ideas that got us to that place, I think you're fooling yourself. I think you're an absolute fool if you don't do that."Bowles has refused to identify as a liberal or conservative, claiming that she is trying to remain fair-minded."When you're in the progressive world, as soon as you question any of it, you're called a fascist," she said. "Obviously, I reject the label, but also I just reject the premise that – I think that it's okay to look at San Francisco's DA, who at the time was saying that we shouldn't prosecute crime and we shouldn't put drug dealers in jail or prosecute them because drug dealers are victims, too. It's okay to look at that and say, that's absurd. That's ridiculous."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

A CREAMY, MEATY, TACO SEASONED APPETIZER DIP If you saw that delicious Smoked Queso Dip going around social media and wanted to make it but didn’t have a smoker, no worries, you know I got you covered! This Crock Pot Smoked Queso Dip is just what you need! Creamy, cheesy, with the perfect amount of smokiness. Plus, it’s made in the slow cooker, so you don’t have to worry babysitting the smoker outside and it’s easy to keep it warm so everyone can serve themselves! My family went nuts over this stuff it is so good! A perfect dip for any gathering! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  What’s the best way to serve this queso? It gets thick as it cools, so if you serve this at a party, I suggest keeping it on the warm setting and serving it out of the slow cooker, however it is important to make sure you still occasionally stir so it doesn’t stick or start to burn. Do I have to use the liquid smoke? If you want the smoky flavor, then yes, you have to use the liquid smoke. But, if you don’t want that smokiness, leave it out and you’ll still have a fabulous queso dip. I really enjoy Wright’s liquid smoke (paid affiliate link). A reader recommended it to me a while back and I’m hooked on it now! Is this queso dip spicy? This dip does have a bit of heat, but if you don’t want the heat factor, just use regular diced tomatoes instead of the Rotel. Additionally, you could purchase the “Tamed” Jalapenos (not a paid affiliate link) to use. These give you all the flavor without the heat- I love them! Or, you could skip the jalapeños altogether and go with pickled onions (not a paid affiliate link). This dip is very customizable to your tastes! Can I make this spicier? If you like the heat a lot in queso dips, you can amp up the heat a bit further. I would suggest that you go with the “Hot” Rotel and maybe even grab a packet of the spicy taco seasoning. How do you store Crock Pot Smoked Queso? This queso is best kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. What’s the best way to reheat queso? I’d suggest using the microwave so you can stir in between bursts in the microwave and you don’t have to worry about burning it.
