Rope-selling capitalist Mark Cuban employs a tried and true practice of the political left.
I trust he supports them, too?

That reminds me: I’m due for my annual donation.
I’ve told you why before, lots of times.
Thing is, it looks like they’re only taking PayPal, and I don’t do Paypal. I just sent them an inquiry if there’s any other way.

Preserving the Past
[More]
The Internet Archive/Wayback Machine is conducting its annual fundraiser. As has been my practice, I donated again this year.
Here’s why. It’s also where my old Oath Keepers pieces reside.
Without someone doing this, torn-down statues are forgotten, history gets rewritten, and we’re doomed to repeat past horrors.
And yes, I’m aware of the criticism. My priorities take precedence for me.
If you share any of those priorities, I never ask anyone to do anything I don’t do myself.
Sherman, Set the Wayback Machine to October 17, 2008
The Internet Archive/Wayback Machine is conducting its annual fundraiser. As has been my practice, I donated once more.
Why?
Because ever since Examiner.com shuttered operations, it is the only place on the internet that has preserved my Gun Rights Examiner columns, starting from the first one through to my getting unceremoniously fired in 2015. It is the only place on the internet that has preserved my Operation Fast and Furious “Project Gunwalker” reporting, which would otherwise be lost.
Ditto for old GUNS Magazine “Rights Watch” columns that their website no longer hosts.
I suppose I could go back and copy everything and repost it anew — if I had a solid year to do nothing else but that. But I don’t and I can’t.
I recall somebody here in comments a while back saying something about rethinking his contribution because the founder’s daughter was a big lefty or something like that– I don’t remember the specifics. In any case, I’m not giving for her, I’m giving to help preserve what I consider a vital resource that serves my self-interests. As you know, I never ask for donations for myself. If it’s in your self-interest to see the history of Fast and Furious (or anything else) preserved, this is the best way to do it that I know of.

I confess I know next to nothing about this blog– I saw a post about censorship over at WRSA and that caught my interest seeing as how that’s exactly the reason I had to go through all the hassle of abandoning my Blogspot home of 17 years and starting this continuation blog. I see he, too, is the victim of a new Google censorship focus, which means no matter what he does, there are no assurances that work he spends portions of his life on won’t be summarily removed with no warning and no recourse.
Fortunately, that most invaluable of resources, the Internet Archive/ Wayback Machine* had his back on this one. I don’t see what the problem was with it, but then again, I saw no problem with what I posted either.
* I’ve been throwing some money their way once a year because I do find them so indispensable. Case in point: All my Examiner “Gunwalker” stuff would be gone from the net if not for them. And doesn’t that tell you just about everything you need to know about the DSM…
