One of the most eventful things to have happened recently was from an unexpected source. The State Department and the intelligence apparatus didn’t initiate any coups somewhere in the Third World, the Kremlin didn’t launch a blitzkrieg and capture Kiev, and a currency from the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) hasn’t entered circulation yet.

Elon Musk’s ‘X’ Axes Half of Its Election Integrity Team … for Undermining Election Integrity
Facebook’s partisan electoral Death Star, to paraphrase Emperor Palpatine in Return of the Jedi, is fully funded and operational. But over at ‘X’ (still pronounced “Twitter”), they are showing more signs that they are serious about defending free speech.
Quick Thought: This is a SPLENDID Idea – Flipping the Left’s Linguistic Handcuffs
In a post that dealt more with Musk’s talking about a Swedish story about Transgender transitioning doesn’t lower the risk of suicide and that child sexual-organ mutilation is wrong, there was this:
Once Again, Congressional Progressives Show THEY Believe Govt Owns You AND Your Company
You can call it “The hubris of high office”, the “Insolence of a long-term office holder”, or “Progressives on Parade”. Or all three at once but these two short paragraphs show that these folks have no interest in governing, they believe that you are ruled by them. And they have no problem in letting you … Read more
Journalists or Simple Hacks
The Progressive Liberal Left is apoplectic about Elon Musk and Twitter suspending the accounts of six journalists for seven days. The cries of censorship are loud and critical of Musk’s actions in the light of his proclaiming the new Twitter is a platform based on the first amendment and freedom of speech.
Elon Musk Just Disbanded Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council
Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council was a cast of volunteer social justice busy-bodies whose progressive agenda served the political Left. Mr. Musk has decided that the Trust and Safety Council is not the best way to bring external insights into Twitter, and all 100 or so have been relieved of duty.
Twitter Files Part II – Hell Yeah, Twitter Shadowbanned You! They Also Had Blacklists!
Elon Musk has been keeping the Lib-Trolls busy as they try to excuse all the blatant partisan BS they denied was happening on Twitter. Just another right-wing conspiracy that turned out to be true.
Notable quote – I Just Wish That the GOP, Especially the NH GOP and Elected Republicans, Showed as Much of a Grasp on Things as Musk
Actually, several of them. And of course, being Elon Musk, it has to be in the form of tweets. Sidenote – He’s a brilliant guy – Telsa, SpaceX, Boring Machine, StarLink, and now Twitter. And with the latter, who knew he could be an insightful and amazing great comedian? He takes on all sorts of … Read more
Free Speech Absolutism in 2022
So, Donald Trump’s Twitter account has been reactivated.
Because everyone should be free to speak in the ‘digital town square’?
No.
Twitter Flags Joe Biden Tweet – Adds “Reader Context They Thought People Might Want to Know”
If you deigned to suffer the intolerable nonsense of Left-Wing Big-Tech Social-Media, you’ve been flagged for something in the past few years. Missing context, community standards, or just not being one of them – only enforced on the political Right. That just changed over at Twitter.
Is Elon Musk the Left’s New Trump?
An essential feature of the Left’s endless war on Donald Trump is that they did it. The relentless smearing of the President, the man, his associates, and his family. Why? He represented a significant threat to their grasp of power. No matter who or what. They’ll use the government to ruin you.
It’s Elon’s Twitter Now
Where were you on Friday morning, October 28th, 2022? That’s the day Twitter is delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. It’s a private company owned by a guy named Elon Musk. The word is he’s already fired Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and CFO Ned Segal (among other execs. The head of that serpent, if you like.
Free Speech Requires Censorship
Speaking about Elon Musk’s impending takeover of Twitter, David Kaye, a professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Law, had this to say:
Sunday Spotlight: The Man is Loved and Hated
We love capitalism in America. It is success that most people have a problem with. It is not achieving one’s level of success but developing jealousy and hatred for those who achieved theirs.
Musk To Annex Instagram from Facebook
After Conquering Twitter, Elon Musk Set To Invade Facebook
The world of social media geopolitics is undergoing a shift of apocalyptic proportions.
Elon’s Buying Twitter
After months of back and forth with the leftist social media giant, billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk revived his original Twitter offer of $44 billion – or $54.20 per share. The news rocked the stock market, sending Twitter shares into double-digit gains and sets the stage for a final negotiation and handoff.
Joe Rogan’s Takeaway From COVID Tyranny Is Not What Democrats Wanted To Hear
The stunning reversals by formerly reliable leftist celebrities have been stunning but also logical. Comedian and talk show host Bill Maher continues to advocate for socialist-style economic governance, but his commitment to classical liberalism has resulted in his speaking out in favor of science in his opposition to the transgender insanity from fellow leftwingers, and his embrace of the free exchange of ideas drives his rejection of cancel culture.
Ron DeSantis Trolls Dems To High Heaven
I am running out of ways to say that Ron DeSantis has a preternatural, uncanny ability to troll the heck out of demented leftists. The guy can’t hold a press conference without twisting the knife in Democrats.
America is Suffering from Political Malpractice
The year was 1992. It had been thirteen years since college graduation and the newly board-certified Urologic surgeon finally had achieved society’s green light to care for human beings. Thirty years later he had seen much of what the medical world could offer; surviving the journey by relying on his training, continued learning, and a time-tested medical method to solve complicated problems.
Free Speech, Climate, and Twitter’s Climate
One of the many problems the Left has with the Elon Musk buyout of Twitter is its ability to control messaging on the Climate. Warming equals cooling, more snow, no snow, rain-drought, rising seas no one sees. It’s a lot of hard work.
