    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) cited her previous ban on Twitter, the platform now known as X, in opposing legislation that could ban TikTok on Wednesday. “I rise today as the only member of Congress that has ever been banned by social media,” Greene said on the House floor, as the lower chamber prepared to vote on the bill. “Twitter banned me, banned my personal account on which I was campaigning for Congress, raising money and using my free speech to inform the voters in my district they can vote for me,” she continued. “This was not by a company...

    Candace Owens has wagered her career that French President Emmanuel Macron's wife was born a man. The controversial conservative commentator took to X to tout the false theory, hours after outlining it on an episode of her podcast. It goes that French First Lady Brigitte Macron, 70, was actually born Jean-Michel Trogneux, before eventually transitioning at age 30.
  • Former Twitter executives sue Elon Musk for more than $128 million in severance

    Former senior executives of Twitter are suing Elon Musk and X Corp., saying they are entitled to a total of more than $128 million in unpaid severance payments. Twitter's former CEO Parag Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal, Chief Legal Counsel Vijaya Gadde and General Counsel Sean Edgett claim in the lawsuit filed Monday that they were fired without a reason on the day in 2022 that Musk completed his acquisition of Twitter, which he later rebranded X. Because he didn't want to pay their severance, the executives say Musk "made up fake cause and appointed employees of his various...

    In October 2021, I wrote an article called "Rachel Levine Is Not the ‘First Female Four-Star Admiral’ ... Because He’s a Male." ... The official PJ Media Twitter account shared the article, which resulted in a temporary suspension from the platform. A year and a half later, after Elon Musk had bought the platform and promised to make it a free speech platform, Twitter's policy against “misgendering” and “deadnaming” trans people was quietly dropped. It appears to be back again. The following appears in the platform rules and policies under "Abuse and Harassment," which were last updated in January.

    Tucker Carlson once again leaped to the defense of Russian President Vladimir Putin and claimed that anyone who thinks the brutal strongman was responsible for the untimely death of his main political opponent Alexie Navalny 'are idiots.' Carlson, 54, was speaking with fellow former Fox News host Glenn Beck on the latter's BlazeTV network when he made his remarks. 'Navalny’s death during the Munich Security Conference, in the midst of disputes about aid to Ukraine, is definitely not beneficial for Russia. People who say Putin killed him are idiots,' Carlson said. -snip- Speaking about having been asked to comment about...

    Tesla CEO Elon Musk criticized hormonal birth control and was met with stories from women about their personal experiences on the pill. "Hormonal birth control makes you fat, doubles risk of depression & triples risk of suicide. This is the clear scientific consensus, but very few people seem to know it," Musk wrote Friday on X, formerly Twitter, citing a 2017 news article from Time about studies on hormonal birth control. The Time article discussed how an American Journal of Psychiatry study indicated women who take hormonal contraceptives have a three times higher risk of suicide than those who never...

    Source: Joe Biden’s Official X/Twitter account (outpainted by The Gateway Pundit) On Sunday night, Joe Biden posted a creepy photo on X/Twitter that has left social media users puzzled. The image, featuring a sinister-looking depiction of dictator Joe Biden with glowing red eyes, was accompanied by a cryptic caption, “Just like we drew it up,” and an image description referring to it as “dark Brandon,” a play on the “Let’s Go Brandon” meme. The caption “Just like we drew it up” typically implies that a plan or idea has been executed exactly as it was conceived or strategized. The eerie...

  • Elon’s Twitter Trim Sparks Government Comparison: Could a Leaner U.S. System Be the Solution?

    01/29/2024 8:22:56 AM PST · by davikkm · 14 replies
    In the wake of Elon Musk’s strategic staff reduction at Twitter, one can’t help but ponder the implications of applying a similar approach to the colossal entity that is the U.S. Government. Musk’s move, trimming 75% of Twitter’s workforce, has seemingly resulted in improved functionality, prompting contemplation on the prospect of a leaner, more efficient government. Contrary to the idealized image of a limited federal government, the United States now boasts the largest government in world history. The statistics are staggering, with approximately 3 million federal government employees and a colossal expenditure of 6.13 trillion dollars in 2023—exceeding the GDP...

"Just 3 years ago, we had the strongest and safest Border in U.S. History. Today we have a catastrophe waiting to happen. It is the WORST BORDER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, an open wound in our once great Country. TERRORISTS ARE POURING IN, UNCHECKED, FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. There is now a 100% chance that there will be MAJOR TERROR ATTACKS IN THE USA. CLOSE THE BORDER!" Meanwhile, Eagle Pass, Texas, stands...

    President Joe Biden has endorsed a Senate deal to massively expand overall immigration to the United States negotiated by Sens. James Lankford (R-OK) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) among others, saying he “will sign it” if it is passed through Congress. Lankford and Murphy have negotiated a deal to expand legal immigration levels by an additional 50,000 green cards annually, expedite work permits for illegal aliens released into the nation’s interior, provide taxpayer-funded lawyers to Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs), and allow up to 35,000 illegal aliens to arrive at the border every week before imposing border controls, among other things.

    Biden's border is a disaster and that the month of December saw the highest number of illegal immigrants ever showing up at our southwest border -- a staggering 302,034 of them. That figure doesn't even include all those who got away. You would also know that the president has been trying to neuter Texas' right to defend itself from the onslaught and that he's suddenly changed his tune about the seriousness of the situation after three years of making it easier for illegals to cross into the country. It's an election year, after all, and people are actually paying attention.X...

    Elon Musk joined Donald Trump and Republican critics to denounce the contentious Senate border deal that President Joe Biden touted as the “toughest and fairest set of reforms.” “No laws need to be passed” to halt the US border crisis, Musk, the world’s richest person, posted on X — calling it “undeniable” that Biden has pursued an “open border” policy. “All that is needed is an executive order to require proof before granting an asylum hearing,” the Tesla and SpaceX CEO — a legal immigrant from South Africa — wrote Friday. “That is how it used to be.”

    Florida lawmakers advanced a bill on Wednesday that would prohibit social media platforms from allowing young teens to have an account while requiring everyone else to verify their age. The measure prohibits anyone under 16 from creating a new social media account and requires platforms to delete existing accounts held by minors who are younger than 16. It also would require social media companies to delete any personal information from the accounts and for the platforms to use a “nongovernmental, independent, third-party not affiliated with the social media platform” to verify users’ age. The bill passed the Florida house with...
