Dumped Drudge many moons ago.
Any residual respect I had for Drudge is now gone.
RIH Matt!
Good point but freepers have uneven memories
agree and it seemed to auto refresh more often as time went on...many large sites could get billions of views over time if their sites auto refreshed constantly
Me too....the Clinton scandals.
I didn’t vote for McCain/Palin, I voted for PALIN/mccain, hoping they would win and he would give up the ghost as quickly as possible. Of course Obama was FAR WORSE, he was and is evil. He has been running the coup from his DC home, and will likely get away with it.
We’ve all heard those rumors about Matt. He does deny them, and honestly to me it isn’t that important. Watching FreeMilo’s college tour on YT got me through a back injury about 4 years ago. I don’t agree with the lifestyle, but I know he is on my side. Drudge joined the Sith mind games of the MSM and Democrats in late 2017 during the special election for Jeff Sessions’ old Senate seat, when Matt began attacking Trump daily (and hasn’t stopped since). I swapped him for Whatfinger News which is like winning the news lottery every day, so give that a look. Folks also say Matt sold his site. I don’t believe it, I think he just switched sides.
I also had an account here. Not kicked out, but it says the username is still active but won’t let me back in. I think it is sending the recovery email to an old email account I no longer use as I never get them.
I use adblock and only check headlines, and never click an article, and I also use a script block to stop his page reloading (that way he just gets a visit from me). It’s always interesting to hear what the communist Chinese are thinking and since Matt just parrots the Democrats and their MSM toadies who both get their daily talking points from China it saves steps to check there. Then I head to Whatfinger News which aggregates from the same sources but make superior choices, so folks can check that out. Today was eye opening, and I noticed the same headlines Levin did. I also suspect Matt won’t favorably cover the Republican convention. Folks are waking up to what he and his legacy media friends he loves to prop up with clicks are doing.
That would be 22.5 years ago. And no, Matt is obviously not the same person now that he was then, but he likely wasn’t then what we thought either.
Force of habit. Just like with some folks voting Democrat because “they are for the working man” when it is technically still true, but now that working man is in India and China.
Although he still generates hits it is dropping. Last November there was an article comparing it to Enron. Search for “Drudge Bleeds Out as Conservatives Flee; Rapid Decline Parallels the Enron Model”. Good read.
That is true, and that is VERY annoying. Two things I liked about Whatfinger News once I found it to replace Matt’s site is that it doesn’t refresh constantly, and it also opens links in a new tab. Those are things Matt does to artificially inflate his traffic. Those who haven’t tried it can check WF out, and I also found out that it is run by veterans (which is nice) and they clearly support Trump. A script blocker takes care of Matt’s reload, but it won’t eliminate his leftism.
Actually citizenship IS about blood, NOT geography. You only need one American parent, then you can be born anywhere in the world and be a U.S. citizen. I hate to use the example but John McCain was born to two American parents but outside of the USA. A foreign diplomat’s kids born in the USA to his foreign wife should not be considered Americans, but to some leftists that is okay. The Smiths can’t break into the Jones’ home and produce a Jones baby. The 13th Amendment freed the slaves and the 14th said they and their kids could not be forced back to Africa. It said NOTHING about anchor babies. Ted’s mom was American, so he is. Marco Rubio was born to two NON Americans on American soil. HE is the anchor baby. As is Nicole Kidman, the actress.
I can’t look at Beck anymore without thinking of his Cheetos face. I just ignore and move on.
Anyone born in the USA is currently considered by the govt to be a citizen. We may not like it but there it is.
Soreign citizens thought they didn’t have to pay taxes and would argue it endlessly. They still went to jail.
Citizen is different than natural born citizen as is plainly evident by the language of Art II Sec 1.
I never said that wasn’t the case, I was clearly saying that isn’t proper and only stands because we accept it and let them get away with it.
You still need at least one actual American as a parent.
Natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they could be no other, born here of citizen parents.
A foreign parent bestows foreign citizenship, even if born here.
