Adam Schiff, Sheldon Whitehouse to Facebook: Censor Republicans or else

Adam Schiff calling out misinformation is like an arsonist complaining about fire departments. Schiff is one of the biggest practitioners of spreading misinformation in history. This weekend, Schiff signed onto a letter with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse to Facebook saying "After each election cycle, social media platforms like Meta often alter or roll back certain misinformation policies, because they are temporary and specific to the election season. Doing so in this current environment, in which election disinformation continuously erodes trust in the integrity of the voting process, would be a tragic mistake. Meta must commit to strong election misinformation policies year-round, as we are still witnessing falsehoods about voting and the prior elections spreading on your platform."

That's rich. Why would the American people trust Schiff, the man that told us for years that he'd seen classified information that was more than circumstantial evidence that Trump had colluded with Russians to win the 2016 election. Let's recall what Adam Schiff told NBC's Chuck Todd:

Schiff said that he'd seen evidence that "was more than circumstantial." What documents, emails or texts had Schiff seen that are direct evidence? Robert Mueller didn't put anything in his infamous report. Then-AG William Barr quoted from the Report. Here's what it quoted Mueller as saying:
"(T)he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."
Mueller concluded that Russia interfered with the election. What it didn't say is that Trump did anything that Democrats accused Trump of doing.

Schiff and Whitehouse wrote this in their letter to Facebook:

Meta has previously taken concrete actions to fight falsehoods and misinformation regarding elections, such as Facebook’s adding labels on election-related posts promoting reliable information in 2020 and 2021, which was an important step in countering the proliferation of election misinformation on the platform. We also supported Meta’s decision to suspend the Facebook account of former president Trump for, "maintaining an unfounded narrative of electoral fraud and persistent calls to action" therefore creating "an environment where a serious risk of violence was possible" according to the Facebook Oversight Board. That risk persists, and certainly has not diminished since the former president’s removal.
While Democrats haven't stopped accusing Trump of continually talking about 2020, Democrats haven't said a peep about Hillary Clinton calling Trump an illegitimate president and Stacey Abrams whining about how Brian Kemp suppressed the vote, causing her to lose her in Georgia. Apparently, misinformation only travels in one direction, according to Democrats.

It's time for Schiff to shut up. He's a liar through-and-through.

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
