Flotsam and Jetsam - So Lets Try this Again

Yesterday, shortly after I published the daily Flotsam and Jetsam post, Google put it behind a warning that I might have violated their "community standards," even though, as usual, the post consisted almost exclusively of links to news sources and other blog posts. I have the option to appeal the decision, but it may take many days for the issue to be adjudicated, and by that time, it would largely be old news. I suspect enemy action. Somebody whose politics don't align with the conservative tone probably sent in a complaint. So another attempt, pure links, no commentary. If this one gets blackballed too, something fishy is at work:
