Elon Musk makes Democrats' heads explode after buying Twitter

Now that the world's richest "free speech absolutist" has purchased Twitter, it's time to pop some popcorn while watching Silicon Valley content management specialists' heads explode. How often do we get the opportunity to watch Brian Stelter look like an idiot on TV? (If you said that he looks like an idiot each time he's on TV, I won't argue with that.) But I digress.

Saying that people are divided on what effect this purchase will have on the political landscape is understatement. Liberals' heads are exploding. Capitalists are cheering this news. Apolitical people, aka independents, are mostly interested to see if Elon will keep his free speech promises.

In this article, Mr. Stelter quotes a David Rand study that says "the root of the challenge when inferring political bias is that Republicans/conservatives are substantially more likely to share misinformation/fake news..." Apparently, Rand's study didn't consider Twitter's censorship of the Hunter laptop story, which includes the 51 intelligence officers saying that the story was "a classic Russian disinformation operation". Apparently, Rand ignored the left's smearing of Nick Sandman and Kyle Rittenhouse.

How can Mr. Rand ignore the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, which the MSM got wrong for years? Mr. Rand got the lab leak story wrong, too. Initially, that was labeled misinformation. In each of these instances, Republicans/conservatives did their homework and got the story right in the end. Mr. Rand's line that conservatives are more likely to spread misinformation is downright dishonest. Here's Mr. Stelter making an a$$ of himself:

Stelter: "If you get invited to something where there are no rules, where there is total freedom for everybody, do you actually want to go to that party or are you going to decide to stay home?" This is almost too rich:

Ms. Psaki apparently doesn't think it's a big deal that a major story about Joe Biden's son's laptop was prohibited by Twitter. It's indisputable that Democrats have controlled Twitter content. They don't attempt to hide it. That's what's behind this:
"If you get invited to something where there are no rules, where there is total freedom for everybody, do you actually want to go to that party or are you going to decide to stay home?"
Elon Musk is right to say that free speech is essential to a functioning democracy. That's why the hard-left progressives hate the thought of free speech but love safe spaces and cancel culture while talking about micro-agressions.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
