Since last week shit has popped off! I really didn’t want to cover the election lawsuits again. But it’s as crazy as Suenami 2020 and even though most of the lawsuits have been dismissed it hasn’t stopped the Trump legal team from leveraging massive allegations, then disavowing one of their own. I don’t even know how to summarize it.  I am frustrated at this point. We should be moving closer to the end of this election, the funds have been released for the presidential transition, lawsuits have been dismissed. But no, we have larger allegations and intrigue within the Trump legal team.  I am ready for some facts...and then some pumpkin pie. Don't forget to check out the Law Nerd Shop....www.LawNerdShop.comResourcesState Legislatures are now convening public hearings to address election allegations.

Trump Election Lawsuits There is a lot happening in the election...still.  I am breaking down the current lawsuits that are being waged in multiple states….you know, still.  This episode was recorded before two different courts in Pennsylvania ruled against the Trump campaign in their allegations that vote counting was not properly observed and that the elections officials properly handled the election observation process. At the end of the day these legal processes will play out, the election results will be certified. Over 70 million people will be mad,  hopefully, everyone will have a better understanding of how the court process works and we will still be facing a pandemic.

Rachel Hollis, Dave Hollis and Hollis Co. are being sued for Trademark Infringement over ‘Made for More’.  With Rachel Hollis it’s not ‘wow she is getting sued’ it's more of ‘oh finally’.

There has been a lot of coverage of President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett and the Confirmation Process. Some believe it’s rushed, some were outraged at the questions she was asked, others outraged at the questions she didn’t answer.

Yelp has taken a broad step. Some praise the social activism, many wonder how this will impact affected businesses. The label first ask questions second approach yelp is taking is problematic. By Yelp’s statement is that the advisory will go up while Yelp is investigating. It is also made clear that this doesn’t have to be an issue with the business directly because it can also be with ‘someone associated with the business’. So if an off duty employee creates this issue…. And the business gets labeled, then what?  My concern for businesses is that Yelp will label first, and it’s unclear how businesses can get these alerts removed. What we know about the court of public opinion is that it doesn’t matter what Yelps investigation finds, it matters that the accusation was placed on the business in the first place. RESOURCESVIDEOSCoffee Talk - Yelp labels businesses racistEpisode 17 Podcast -- Getting Sued Over Bad ReviewsARTICLESNew Consumer Alert on Yelp Takes Firm Stance Against Racism  Poll: 62% of Americans Say They Have Political Views They’re Afraid to Share Merriam-Webster's current definition of racism Yelp Will Label Businesses Accused Of Racist Behavior  Yelp adds alerts to business accused of racism  Yelp introduces new 'business accused of racist behavior' consumer alert Competitor Click Fraud: A Case Study | The Click Fraud Blog  Yelp to Publicly Shame Businesses 'Accused of Racist Behavior'  Per Yelps blog;“At Yelp, we value diversity, inclusion and belonging, both internally and on our platform, which means we have a zero-tolerance policy to racism. We know these values are important to our users and now more than ever, consumers are increasingly conscious of the types of businesses they patronize and support. In fact, we’ve seen that reviews mentioning Black-owned businesses were up more than 617% this summer compared to last summer. Support for women-owned businesses has also increased, with review mentions up 114% for the same time period.The new Business Accused of Racist Behavior Alert is an extension of our Public Attention Alert that we introduced in response to a rise in social activism surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement. So far in 2020, we’ve seen a 133% increase in the number of media-fueled incidences on Yelp compared to the same time last year. Between May 26 and September 30, we placed more than 450 alerts on business pages that were either accused of, or the target of, racist behavior related to the Black Lives Matter movement. We have maintained around-the-clock support over the last few months to ensure that we’re maintaining the trust and safety of our users and business owners.If the business takes public corrective action, such as firing an offending employee, the alert will be downgraded to a Public Attention Alert, which warns users that “someone associated with the business was accused of, or the target of, racist behavior.”What do you think?

President Trump has been busy. From that staggering Debate performance to the New York Times article about his taxes...to contracting COVID.  It’s a lot. I find the Tax article in the New York Times to be the least shocking of everything. I found the Debate to be a steaming hot mess. Then there was COVID. The president continues to act like he is marketing a reality show on twitter while COVID fears still have some states locked down.  I personally prefer the cautious management here in Tennessee to the authoritarian lockdown in California, but different populations will have different responses.  I can’t wait to talk to you about this week’s episode! RESOURCESVIDEOSThis Week: Trump Taxes, Covid & the Debate Lawyer Reacts: Trump Tax ReturnsARTICLESTrump’s Taxes Show Chronic Losses and Years of Income Tax AvoidanceUnauthorized Release of Information  26 USC §7213 AP EXPLAINS: What happens if a candidate for president dies?  “Don Jr. Thinks Trump Is Acting Crazy”: The President’s COVID Joyride Has the Family Divided NYT's Wajahat Ali: 'The Muslim in me is praying' for those afflicted with COVID, while 'the Samuel L.

The Breonna Taylor Case.  I have discussed this case at length and more information keeps coming. The Grand Jury Decision in this case was followed by an announcement by the Attorney General of Kentucky last week. Then this week a judge ordered the recordings of the Grand Jury released as evidence in the criminal prosecution of Officer Hankison who is charged with three counts of wanton endangerment, the Attorney General of Kentucky made another statement and one of the grand jurors sought a court order to be allowed to speak to the media.

“I Think Prince and Mike was tryna warn me” - Kanye WestKanye West has taken up the personal mission to bring change to the oft-criticized music industry. He did so by taking to twitter, peeing on his grammy and exposing his own contracts. There are over a hundred pages of contracts on Twitter for all the world to see. Kanye has set forth a 7 point plan to ‘push the’ music industry into the 21st century’. He declared that he is the new Moses. But he isn’t wrong.  His criticism of the music industry echos so many others, most notably Prince...whose fight with Sony Music lead to him changing his name to a symbol.

Well, Twitter is all a…..well, a twitter, over the new Netflix movies ‘Cuties’. This is a French film that’s a Sundance award winner with a female director. However, it’s also very, very provocative and is either attempting to make a point, or is child pornography. The outrage was swift and by some accounts, Netflix has lost billions. I watched the film so we can have a chat, break down my thoughts, and talk about the legal standards of child pornography. RESOURCESWhy 'Cancel Netflix' is trendingPetition asks Netflix to remove film that 'sexualizes' girlsNetflix's 'Cuties' Controversy, Explained Lawmakers Demand Federal Investigation Into Netflix Film 'Cuties' For Child Pornography EXCLUSIVE: GOP Lawmakers Call On Justice Department To Take Legal Action Against Netflix For Sexualizing Children Netflix shareholders lose $9 BILLION as it refuses to stop sexualising childrenCuties on Netflix is open pedophilia. #BoycottNetflixCitizen's Guide To US Federal Law On Child Pornographyhttps://twitter.com/Cythesuccubus/status/1304175620394491905?s=20https://twitter.com/GhostJim4/status/1303778528169689088?s=20https://twitter.com/GhostJim4/status/1303778934421680129?s=20https://www.forbes.com/sites/elanagross/2020/09/11/netflix-defends-cuties-as-social-commentary-against-sexualization-of-young-children/?fbclid=IwAR0s04nqT-GLqemLPPqQEoTayCkTsYvchI5KzvA-Ej-MR_L6hGgBhw0ohDc#5f6b726f7351https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/citizens-guide-us-federal-law-child-pornographyIf you want me to cover a particular story or situation please contact the show at GetLegit@emilydbaker.com Come hang with me on social! I want to chat with you in the Get Legit Community Facebook Group !! If you need help with your business you can find my products at www.GetLegitShop.com and my legal consulting at www.EmilyDBaker.com

I hope that the most important thing that we take away from the Kenosha unrest is that making a decision about a situation in one or two sentences of a news headline is not the full picture. The media has been taking the Jacob Blake shooting and creating a narrative juxtaposing it to the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting.  When the facts of these two situations are evaluated they are not the same in many regards. They are the same in that they are both avoidable. First, both situations are still under investigation and developing. Kyle Rittenhouse is in custody with murder charges (among others) pending. Jacob Blake is in the hospital paralyzed and recovering from 7 gunshot wounds.  But let’s discuss the surrounding situations based on the information available. Jacob Blake has pending charges arising out of a sexual assault and domestic violence case. There seems to be a restraining order in relation to those charges. Jacob Blake showed up at the victims’ house, broke in, attempted to steal her car resulting in her calling the police. When the police showed up to arrest Jabob Blake with the outstanding warrant and apparently violated the restraining order. He then wouldn’t comply with the police was Tasered twice, and reached for a weapon whereupon he was shot. The circumstances surrounding this are avoidable. Kyle Rittenhouse at 17 decided to head into Kenosha, an already tense situation, with an AR15 that he wasn’t supposed to be carrying based on his age. He then stayed in the area late into the night, he wasn’t questioned about his weapon (though open carry laws mean that people were walking around legally carrying similar weapons), he kept moving with the crowds of protestors until there was a confrontation. What we know from the video is that a protester behind Kyle Rittenhouse fired a weapon and Kyle turned around and fired injuring a protestor. The crowd turned on Rittenhouse, he was knocked to the ground protestors attempted to disarm him and he killed two. He shouldn’t have had that weapon. He is too young to be trusted to make good decisions in a dangerous situation he put himself in. He made these decisions that ended the lives of two people, this doesn’t discount the decisions of the protestors who were attacking someone armed with an AR15 cause that seems like terrible decision making too. But the circumstances here were also avoidable. RESOURCES Police association: Jacob Blake physically struggled with officers before shooting  WALSH: Before You Honor Jacob Blake As A Martyr, Read The Criminal Complaint Against HimCriminal complaint for Jacob Blake says he was wanted for domestic abuse and sexual assault The day the games stopped: A timeline since Jacob Blake was shot in the backWisconsin AG Pushes Back On Criticism Of Investigation Into Jacob Blake Shooting The latest on Kenosha police shooting of Jacob BlakeRally supporting police draws scores to downtown Kenosha Kyle Rittenhouse’s Lawyers Release StatementPierce Bainbridge Engaged to Represent 17-Year Old Kyle Rittenhouse Wrongfully Charged with Murder After Acting in Self-Defense in Kenosha, WIAttorneys representing Kyle Rittenhouse say he was wrongfully charged after 'acting in self-defense'Lawyer:Illinois Teen Charged with Kenosha Shootings, Kyle Rittenhouse, A 'Scapegoat' Who May Fight Extradition Defense Attorney Commentary & Analysis 

The Britney Spears Conservatorship is the backdrop of the Free Britney movement….wait the #FreeBritney movement. Her fans have demanded that attention is turned to the over 12-year conservatorship that has been granted to Britney’s father Jamie Spears. The conservatorship was set to expire in August 2020 but was extended until February 2021 while the court asks for additional legal motions. Britney has recently spent time in a mental health facility which some argue was a tactical move by her father to keep the conservatorship going, or as necessary to support her in light of her fathers health struggles. There is a lot of behind the scenes that we don’t know here, because of the nature of the conservatorship. It’s meant to be private but is it time to transition to allowing Britney to have more freedom. To be able to choose if she wants to have another child, to get married, to drive her car. I completely understand why her fans are so concerned, I also think it’s time to have real conversations about taking the stigma away from mental health struggles, to examine what happens to celebrities in the US, and to question if cancel culture is making these issues worse. RESOURCES VIDEOSThe Sad Story of the #FreeBritney Movement: Britney needs us. Britney Spears’ Husband Supports Free Britney Free Britney: The Britney Spears ConservatorshipTop 10 Times Britney Spears Called for HelpBritney Spears Carpool KaraokeJamie Lynn Spears Addresses 'Free Britney'Britney Spears Will Never Be Okay AgainARTICLES Britney Spears Seeking Substantial Changes to ConservatorshipJamie Spears Asking to Temporarily Step Down as Britney's ConservatorBritney Spears' dad has asked to step down as her conservator for nowBritney Spears’ Pal Unearths Letter She Wrote About Conservatorship, K-FedBritney Spears Conservatorship to Remain As Is Until 2021Britney Spears' Conservatorship Extended to February 2021 – NBC ChicagoOTHER LINKSNeil Strauss | NY Times Bestselling Author & Transformational JournalistNeil Strauss Books If you want me to cover a particular story or situation please contact the show at GetLegit@emilydbaker.com Come hang with me on social! I want to chat with you in the Get Legit Community Facebook Group !! If you need help with your business you can find my products at www.GetLegitShop.com and my legal consulting at www.EmilyDBaker.com

President Trump has recently signed quite a few Executive Orders that have garnered attention for a number of different reasons. I am personally most fascinated by the President taking on social media in different ways. A lot of the laws regulating the online space were written in the 90’s, long before social media as we know it was in existence. This clearly presents issues for government, employers, and society. Some of those decisions may be out of our hands  if these new Executive Orders stand. The President has gone after TikTok, Facebook and Twitter by way of trying to open the door for platforms to be sued over censorship. One of the signatures of the Trump Presidency is quick action/impatience, and that is what we clearly see in the stimulus Executive Order. I would love to hear your thoughts on these Executive Orders over in our Facebook Community.RESOURCESTIKTOKTikTok To Sue Trump Administration On President's Executive Order BanExecutive Order Addressing Threat Posed By TikTokU.S. Senate votes to ban TikTok app on government devicesTikTok Privacy Policy TikTok Terms of ServiceTikTok’s Statement on the Administration's Executive OrderTikTok is either Microsoft's 'poisoned chalice,' next big thing or easy-money schemeSTIMULUSExecutive order for COVID relief, explained: What all 4 new directives mean for youhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/memorandum-authorizing-needs-assistance-program-major-disaster-declarations-related-coronavirus-disease-2019/https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/memorandum-continued-student-loan-payment-relief-covid-19-pandemic/https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/08/politics/trump-executive-order-stimulus/index.htmlCENSORSHIPStatement from the Press Secretary Regarding the Implementation of President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online CensorshipExecutive Order on Preventing Online Censorshiphttps://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/230https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/11/17223720/trump-signs-fosta-sesta-sex-trafficking-section-230-lawSection 230: everything you need to know about the law protecting internet speech If you want me  to cover a particular story or situation please contact the show at GetLegit@emilydbaker.com If you need help with your business you can find my products  at www.GetLegitShop.com and my legal consulting at www.EmilyDBaker.com

I have thoughts... I have made it pretty clear that I think Rachel Hollis is a fakey faker. Her brand of toxic positivity wrapped with curated authenticity just pisses me off. The announcement of her new book “Didn’t See that Coming” like a month and a half after she announced her divorce from Dave Hollis on Instagram just put me over the edge with it. I am outraged and the unyielding monetizing of bullshit. Rachel Hollis made clear in her divorce announcement that their marriage had been struggling for the last three years….and during that time she has released books, coaching, marriage retreat weekends and podcasts on the topic of having an epic marriage. It’s all such bullshit. She posted on Instagram in May that her new book was into the publisher, seemingly days after she told Dave that their marriage was over. This despite the fact that in ‘Girl Wash Your Face’ she describes divorce as not an option, that anything can be solved with communication, sex toys, and making out. So she is fine selling this to her audience but not following the advice for herself. All of it is overwhelmingly gross. She built an empire on marketing a life she wasn’t living. I am over this brand of BS influencer and I hope that everyone else is too.ResourcesEverything Wrong With Rachel Hollis By the Book, Podcast covering Girl Wash Your FaceRachel Hollis, Mommy Blogger and Relationship Coach Is Getting A DivorceDave Hollis Says He and Rachel Were Considering Divorce for YearsReagan Rambles: Rachel Hollis' new book "Didn't See That Coming" & Divorce thoughtsMonetising heartbreak: RACHEL HOLLIS'S MILLION DOLLAR DIVORCE BOOK - Didn't see that comingWhy Rachel Hollis' Divorce Disappoints So Many7 Unspoken Lessons from Rachel Hollis's DivorceRachel Hollis Apologizes After Plagiarism Accusations Over Maya Angelou Quote On Instagram“Girl, Wash Your Face” Is A Massive Best-Seller With A Dark MessageRachel Hollis' New Book Causes Controversy After Divorce - nofilter by influence.coGirl, Get Some Footnotes: Rachel Hollis, Hustle, and Plagiarism Problems

First, a huge shout out to Rachel Brenke for having me on the Business Bites podcast and letting me share this episode with you guys! It was a great conversation about the changing laws in CA, and different implications. In the following months the State of California has dialed down on these laws and while California is reducing budgets everywhere they increased budgets for enforcement of AB5. If you have ever wondered what kind of nerdy chats lawyers have….this conversation is a perfect example… enjoy.Links & ResourcesRachel BrenkeFreelance Apocolypse AB5 & Content CreatorsUber Strikes BackIndependent Contractor v.

After Episode 42 I heard your questions - all of them.... You asked ‘but why Tennessee?’. So let’s break it down...how do you pick somewhere new to live? First, know that this wasn’t a quick decision. It was a process that has been going on in my mind for at least two years. I have been exploring if we would leave California...why we would leave and what our family values the most. Moving is a total pain in the ass, moving across the country is exciting and terrifying. Moving during a pandemic is exhausting. But we know what we are moving towards with our family and the life we have chosen.

In Episode 41 I share with you how I began to choose my life. What I share in Episode 42 is a natural growth of that. My family and I are choosing our life and it has lead us to Middle Tennessee. We have been talking about moving out of Southern California for some time...but it felt like there were so many obstacles to us actually doing it. Truthfully...sitting here today it’s still a bit unreal that we made it happen. We sold our house, closed a business, packed things and kids and cars and drove from California to Tennessee in the middle of a pandemic. But we did it, we are here and we are so stinking excited.Links & ResourcesInstagram TV video TEDx Talk 3 WordsIf you want me  to cover a particular story or situation please contact the show at GetLegit@emilydbaker.com Come hang with me on social!  I want to chat with you in the Get Legit Community Facebook Group !! If you need help with your business you can find my products  at www.GetLegitShop.com and my legal consulting at www.EmilyDBaker.com
