CNN is frightened of free speech

Today, Townhall's Julio Rosas captured another episode of the left's continued freak-out over Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter. He captured it when CNN's David Zurawik said that we need to regulate free speech like Europe.

Zurawik is quoted as saying "You need regulation. You cannot let these guys control discourse in this country or we are headed to hell. We are there. Trump opened the gates of hell and now they’re chasing us down."

While that's a stunning quote, Zurawik started by saying "There's a bigger problem here about how we're going to control the channels of communication in this country." Zurawik continued, saying "In 1927, we had the Radio Act; in 1934, we had the Communications Act. Congress stepped in. We made rules. The FCC wasn't great but it's still regulating the broadcast industry. You can't do all these things. You can't use vulgar language."

These control freaks seem frightened with the possibility of losing total control of their ability to shape their message. This isn't the Democrat Party of Bill Clinton, Daniel Patrick Moynihan or Hubert Humphrey. Today's Democrats are more like Marxists or the Chinese Communist Party.

When Nancy Pelosi was growing up in Baltimore, her father was a Democrat ward boss in charge of getting out every vote possible for the election. When she became Speaker, she brought that thinking to passing legislation. Machine politics for elections is now machine politics for policy. The thought of listening to people isn't part of the Democrats'/Marxists'/fascists' thinking. That's why they've lost the Rust Belt and the Heartland.

Check this out:

This is what Marxist Democrats look like:

This type of activity is pushing people away from the Democrat Party. It's fueling this November's red wave.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
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
