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.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
