Some are More Equal than Others

Timothy Birdnow

In America some are more equal than others, and freedom of speech is limited by certain taboos established by the Left.

What do I mean? Well, this is an example.

Apparently the FCC rejected the license renewal of radio station KQQZ in Belleville, Illinois because they are home to a shock jock named Bob Romank. Now, I've never heard of Romanik and definitely never heard his show. He sounds like a braying jackass, frankly, the kind of shock jock that has become prevalant in modern times (like Howard Stern.) So what makes this guy different?

He dared to use the so-called N-word on air.

According to an earlier story at BND:

In January, Romanik used the N-word to denigrate rapper Waka Flocka Flame. The rapper had used a Trump supporter T-shirt to wipe his buttocks on stage. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch ran an editorialThursday lambasting Romanik for "hate speech” and calling on the Federal Communications Commission and "Illinois electoral authorities to give Romanik a serious second look for his abuse of the airwaves.”

The Post-Dispatch editorial says Romanik wrongly used the airwaves to campaign for the 114th House District seat in 2016, a contest he lost to Democrat LaToya Greenwood of East St. Louis. Romanik did not list the free radio time on his campaign finance report, the newspaper reported.

St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay took to Twitter on Monday to call for "sanctions” to Romanik’s show for using the N-word on the air.

Bob Romanik's hate speech on public airwaves deserves sanction. https://t.co/QTowTZmNFL #fgs

So, three years ago this Romanik fellow called a guy who wiped his filthy bottom with Donald Trump a N****r on air and that was considered unacceptable but the rapper's actions were not?

And if using his own show to promote his political campaign is wrong, then so too is every single "news" show on the air, as they are all free advertising for Democrats.

This is all arguable and debatable, and the case can be made for sacking old Romanik, but it just rubs me the wrong way that the governmental regulatory agency is pulling the license of the station for not firing this guy.

I don't know if this is a word that is formally banned on air or if it is just done by agreement. But the retribution is so immense for the use of one word.

I've heard rappers use that with impugnity.

Had this been a leftist activist I doubt any of this would have happened.

There is clearly a double standard in our society.

After all, Andrew Cuomo used that word live without serious repercussions. So did Gary Landrieu of Louisiana. So too did a Democrat state legislator in Providence named Anastasia Williams while on the House floor. And of course everyone remembers America's favorite Klansman, Robert Byrde, used it on several occasions quite publicly. Nothing ever stuck to any of these individuals, largely because they are/were Democrats.

Shoot, even President Barack Obama said it.

Now, I'm opposed to the endless degrading of social standards, especially on broadcast radio and television. But I don't like the fact that these rules are not applied across the board. Some are more equal than others.

If you deal with anxiety or even Insomnia on a regular basis. You can buy sleeping tablets online for insomnia or anxiety. But medication doesn’t have to be your only treatment. To calm your mind and cut stress, try working these self-care tips into your daily routine:

Move your body

Exercise is an important part of physical — and mental — health. It can ease your feelings of anxiety and boost your sense of well-being. Shoot for three to five 30-minute workout sessions a week. Be sure to choose exercises you enjoy so you look forward to them.

Pay attention to sleep

Both quality and quantity are important for good sleep. Doctors recommend 8 hours of shut-eye a night. If anxiety is making it hard for you to fall asleep, create a routine to help you catch your ZZZs:

Leave screens behind before you hit the hay.

Try to stick to a schedule.

Be sure your bed is comfy.

Keep your room’s temperature on the cool side.

Ease up on caffeine and alcohol

Both caffeine, which is an "upper,” and alcohol, which is a "downer,” can make anxiety kick into overdrive. Cut back or avoid them if you can. Remember, coffee and soda aren’t the only things with caffeine. It can also pop up in:

Diet Pills

Some headache medicines

yellow xanax

yellow Xanax bars

Chocolate

Tea

Schedule your worry time

It may sound backward to plan to worry, but doctors actually recommend that you pick a time to think about your fears on purpose. Take 30 minutes to identify what’s bothering you and what you can do about it. Have your "worry session” at the same time every day. Don’t dwell on "what-ifs.” Focus on what actually makes you anxious.

Breathe deep

It sends a message to your brain that you’re OK. That helps your mind and body relax. To get the most out of it, lie down on a flat surface and put one hand on your belly and the other on your chest. Take a slow breath in. Make sure it fills your belly enough that you can feel it rise slightly. Hold it for a second, then slowly let it out. If by any chance the above tips don’t work for you, then buy sleeping tablets online for insomnia or pills for anxiety.
