No! I am Spartacus!

No, not me. Cory Booker. No one can (or should) forget when Booker (sans Spartacus” laid his soul bare and prostrated himself, ready the cross, or at least the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, only to be shown – a fool. In “Jersey,” he is a pork roll. He ain’t nothin’ but a liar.

The man who would be king has assured us the commie Chinese, the goons who floated a spy cam across the entire country are gonna stop spying us because “Spartacus” is gonna lay down the law.

There is no doubt that TikTok is a Chinese info-grabbing app. A number of states have taken proactive steps to deny access to China’s spycam app by passing laws that, in summary, no state-owned computers can use TikTok. That makes sense because you might as well plop a Chinese spy on the foot of your bed. Without a doubt, TikTik is used to spy on Americans and gather information. That is a given.

Sure, most of TikTok’s users are idiots looking for attention, but that isn’t how spycraft works. It’s a long game. A million useless users… and then the one guy at State logs on to TikTok and they have what they want.

But fear not – Spartacus has stepped into the Colosseum.

Let’s be honest, there is some deep-seated irony in Cory Booker stepping into anything called “intelligence” but he has – and here is the story:

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said on Sunday that TikTok is collaborating with U.S. intelligence to enact precautions aimed at safeguarding the popular video-sharing platform from Chinese surveillance.

“I think there’s two ways to approach this one,” Booker told Margaret Brennan on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “The proactive step of banning and on government devices is something that the United States federal government is doing, states and even localities are doing.”

“But the other way to go about this is going directly to the company. They are now working with U.S. intelligence folks to try to make sure that the proper precautions are taken so the Chinese cannot get access and use it for spying,”

Oh super. Spartacus assures us that TikTok, the ChiCom app that has lied about its spying now assures us, will stop spying and will work with intelligence services – and Senate brainiacs like Spartacus will absolutely, positively stop TikTok from spying on Americans.

If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. Do we still own our bridges?

In closing – “Sure Jan”

God help us…
