Poll Question: Should Franklin Pierce University Change Its Name Because Pierce “Supported” Slavery?

Facebook’s Wuhan Virus Fact checker is So Compromised it is Embarrassing
Big Tech’s commitment to promoting ChiCom propaganda is marveled only by Corporate media. This also works in reverse. Facebook, for example, is using its obviously partisan fact-checking process to remove articles suggesting COVID-19 escaped from a Chinese Lab.

BUMPED and UPDATED (from 4/23/18): from the CM at the bottom of this post: In searching for something else (and this happens all the time; go figure, with almost 35K posts in here), this popped up so I decided to add on a bit.
Your Tax Money Supporting Censorship in Exeter, Henniker, and Keene
Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Transparency about the workings of an organization prevents corruption.

NH Dem Party Chair seeking to silence a Conservative on FB – you know what to do
Go here to help out. As Kimberly mentioned, the Left is REALLY losing it over having Jan Schmidt’s own words being posted. There are a ton of Lefty Democrat Socialists there decrying that what has been done is both bullying and harassment of an elected official. They state it, over and over, in separate comments … Read more

First Big Tech Came for the Conservatives…
In the beginning there was Microsoft… The original dominant company of the “computer world” was Microsoft. It’s dominance came through “aggressive” business practices. It was their way or the highway. They consumed other companies, their people and their ideas. Their business practices have been adopted and adapted by other successful Big Tech companies since. This … Read more
Student’s Trump Hats Blurred out in High School Yearbook Photo
If you’ve ever watched the Ten Commandments – the original movie – Pharoh declared the name Moses be stricken from every record, tablet, stone, everywhere. The BC equivalent of “you’re dead to me.” This seems a lot like that to me.

So we’re about to try an experiment
As many of you know, Twitter locked our account: So yes, I finally hit the REMOVE button that Twitter imposed upon us. As soon as we did, they unlocked our account. However, the ONLY reason I did so (after making it clear I wouldn’t) is to find out where the “Twitter Red Line” is; we’re … Read more
Bill Would Allow State To Sue Big Tech (Social Media) for Viewpoint Discrimination

New! Improved! Sex-Ed Plus Censorship Plus Mandatory Morality
In the beginning… Colorado passed controversial sex-ed legislation back in 2013. What they did started national discussions about how much we want to expose children to. The Colorado legislation was a mandatory, comprehensive sex education law. It requires students undergo “culturally sensitive” lessons. “Culturally sensitive” means sex-ed lessons incorporating minority perspectives on sex. Minority perspectives … Read more
Did You Hear About Facebook’s Latest Content Ban?
Last week Facebook began banning content it decides ” glorifies white nationalism and separatism.” Facebook is entitled to do whatever it wants but if Hate is the problem and Facebook has a cure, they’d better take a look over the edge of that tiny ideological box into which they’ve crammed their so-called public interest.
