How irresponsible did the media become in 2020? We all know major newspapers are winning Pulitzer Prizes for blatantly false reporting. They have done false reporting on the topic of “Russian collusion.” We know Silicon Valley is appointing themselves censors.

Shame on You, Party Democrats
For 3 long weeks, the Lakes Region has been immersed in an ugly controversy based on accusations of alleged deliberate bigoted inclinations, speech, and activity by Rep. Dawn Johnson. Many are adamant this is a humanitarian issue, not political. Based on the observations below, I strongly disagree.
Companies and Governments Suppress and Censor; People Still Find Ways to Express Themselves
It should cause us great trepidation that German-style Internet controls are catching on around the world. The home of National Socialism does not have an Enlightenment perspective.
Poland Proposes Free Speech Court to Protect Social Media Content from Censorship
Poland has a new law under consideration. It’s simple. If someone publishes something that does not violate Poland’s Laws, Social Media platforms like Facebook and Twitter can’t censor it or deplatform the speaker. If they do and lose, it could cost them up to 2 million dollars.
Word Police Announce that ‘Brown Bag’, ‘Grandfathered’, and ‘Picnic’ are Offensive
There’s a ‘Words Matter Task Force’ for the IT department at the University of Michigan. It’s job? Find ways to view everyday words as offensive and then teach you what to say instead. Why?
“All entities that are not explicitly right-wing will become left-wing over time”
I used to do a lot of hiking, and my hiking buddy liked to pick up the occasional stone and toss it back up the mountain. He was only half-serious when he implied that he was counteracting the natural forces of regression or decline. Entropy, even. Someone should have done that with Fox News or, better yet, Republicans.
Do You Really Advance Truth by Destroying Truth?
Today the First Amendment to the constitution of the once freest nation in the world is moribund. Its enemies are not Klansmen in hoods seeking to intimidate blacks. And its enemies are not right-wing conspiracy theorists rooting out communists.
Innovation Comes From Free Speech and Freedom of Thought
Alex Berenson self-published a series of pamphlets on Amazon. They offer a dissenting view about the efficacy of forcing coronavirus lockdowns. The Big Tech response? Amazon is blocking his most recent installment.
Candace Owens Wins Legal Fight With Lying Facebook Fact Checker PolitiFact
Facebook plays it just like Elected Dems. Politicians offload responsibility to bureaucrats then feign innocence if something goes sideways. Facebook gives third-party fact-checkers censorship carte-blanch but claims no responsibility for their antics.
Bill Gates: Social Media Platforms Need To Face Stronger Regulation In The U.S.
There’s nothing like the smell of creeping tyranny in the morning! Yes, you can quote me. Even when the tyranny is not just creeping, it is crawling. Seeping might work or descending – as in from the ruling class.
My Thoughts on Facebook’s Tips on Building a Diverse and Inclusive Community
As you may be aware, Facebook is threatening to deplatform the Grok Facebook Page. Antifa organized violence gets a pass, but we question the efficacy of masks or rigged election results, and we’re naughty. Community Standards, like mask mandates, are for other people.
Don’t Tell Me Who You Are, Show Me What You Vote For
If you have been paying any attention to politics in America and NH today, you know that the Democrat Party has become steadily more radical, and I’ll say it, more un-American.
Another Progressive Angry That a Conservatarian Listened To Her Talk – Gracie Gato: Stalker!!!! Part 2
Heh! Reports are coming back that said Progressive is unhappy that said Conservatarian is using her words in order to comment on them. Free Speech much? Naw, she’s the California version of NH State Rep Jan Schmidt – you know, the Bernie-Bro that hates the idea that ANYONE disagrees with her monoculture foreign political philosophy … Read more
Transgender Mob Willing To Trash Free Speech (for All) if It Silences Their Opponents
The same old story. We on the Right want the Left to talk, talk, talk, and talk even more. The Left demands our SILENCE! And that just got reinforced by a person from my hamlet with a message.
A Culture So Poisoned That They Can’t Help but Do Wrong
Imagine, if you can, a story about Don Trump Jr. The contents of a laptop are leaked to a national news source who publishes documents found on the device. Evidence that he sold access to his father and the White House. Big news?
Democrat Speech Cop Brenna Connolly Wants Nashua to Police First Amendment Rights
Self-appointed speech-cop Brenna Connoly got her jimmies rustled this week. The Nashua Democrat activist took offense to an opinion that was not her own and promptly demanded that speech be silenced. The city dutifully complied.
“Facebook Lets Activists Restrict My Videos Based on Something I Never Said.”
This is an ongoing problem with Facebook that they won’t acknowledge by actually DOING something. Oh, they’ll issue a non-apology apology. Say it was a mistake or that an “algorithm” screwed things up. Except that the vast majority of mistakes and the screwups involve conservatives taking it in the shorts.
Another Argument for Treating Big Tech Like Utilities
It is generally accepted that because companies like Twitter, Facebook, and Alphabet (Google, YouTube, everything else) are private, they can suppress all the speech and exhibit as much (left-leaning) bias as they please.
Court Tosses Unconstitutional Ordinance, Orders City of LA to Pay NRA’s Legal Costs
Democrats will do almost anything to shut down or impair the ability of a political opponent to operate. California is where they beta-test these ideas. But sometimes they go too far, and Los Angeles (LA) ordinance 186000 did just that. It prohibited free association with the National Rifle Association (NRA).
