Jeff Horseman got into journalism because he liked to write and stunk at math. He grew up in Vermont and he honed his interviewing skills as a supermarket cashier by asking Bernie Sanders “Paper or plastic?” After graduating from Syracuse University in 1999, Jeff began his journalistic odyssey at The Watertown Daily Times in upstate New York, where he impressed then-U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Clinton so much she called him “John” at the end of an interview. From there, he went to Annapolis, Maryland, where he covered city, county and state government at The Capital newspaper. Today, Jeff writes about anything and everything. Along the way, Jeff has covered wildfires, a tropical storm, 9/11 and the Dec. 2 terror attack in San Bernardino. If you have a question or story idea about politics or the inner workings of government, please let Jeff know. He’ll do his best to answer, even if it involves a little math.

Parler referred to as a freedom of speech-oriented Online platform. In reality, it was a kind of Twitter-copy, where everything is allowed. The relatively small platform renounced largely on the regulation of content, and thus became a little against hate speech and the spread of false information. In the face of increasingly tough approach to Twitter and Facebook against violence calls and conspiracy theories, Trump’s followers Parler moved in the past year stepped up.

The App was in this year the week offline. Parlers Cloud service provider, Amazon had thrown the service in the aftermath of the storming of the Capitol in Washington by Trump supporters from its servers. Apple and Google exiles the application from their App Stores. Trump has been locked in January on Twitter and Facebook out.
