I was just suspended for the day on Twitter yesterday for reposting a Steve Crowder video. Yes, the Cyber war is very real.
Then we need another platform.
I was perma-banned from Twitter for abuse, but I never abused anyone. I just had conservative opinions. I don’t think the blue wave is a thing. Hillary won District 18 in PA by 20,000 votes. Saccone lost it by 600 votes. Doesn’t sound like a big win to me.
Ferguson is usually worth paying attention to, but in this case I think he’s missing a couple of key points:
- the newly announced 2020 Trump re-election campaign which for the first time will bring Soros-level tactics and support to OUR side
- the fact that most people don’t pay attention to politics until just prior to an election and then vote in their economic best interests. The full impact of the Trump Economy will be felt by then, and the digital messaging (above) will be driving these messages home.
- most people don’t trust the media or polls, and no longer vote along party lines as dictated by their family or union or others may have dictated in the past. Otherwise Trump could never have won.
- the midterm election is a long time off and a lot of very bad stuff for the democrats is going to become known between now and then. Trying to extrapolate from today even a month or two out is as pointless as trying to do so on Sept. 10, 2001.
The only choice is to pass laws penalizing these companies for censorship. I think we also need the same in Universities even more so. The left need a big smack down of their own medicine.

This is why we have Anti Trust Laws and the DOJ if they can wake up Sleepy Sessions can end all of this blatant discrimination and restraint of trade overnight.
The Sherman Act outlaws “every contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade,” and any “monopolization, attempted monopolization, or conspiracy or combination to monopolize.” Long ago, the Supreme Court decided that the Sherman Act does not prohibit every restraint of trade, only those that are unreasonable. For instance, in some sense, an agreement between two individuals to form a partnership restrains trade, but may not do so unreasonably, and thus may be lawful under the antitrust laws. On the other hand, certain acts are considered so harmful to competition that they are almost always illegal. These include plain arrangements among competing individuals or businesses to fix prices, divide markets, or rig bids. These acts are “per se” violations of the Sherman Act; in other words, no defense or justification is allowed.
The penalties for violating the Sherman Act can be severe. Although most enforcement actions are civil, the Sherman Act is also a criminal law, and individuals and businesses that violate it may be prosecuted by the Department of Justice. Criminal prosecutions are typically limited to intentional and clear violations such as when competitors fix prices or rig bids. The Sherman Act imposes criminal penalties of up to $100 million for a corporation and $1 million for an individual, along with up to 10 years in prison. Under federal law, the maximum fine may be increased to twice the amount the conspirators gained from the illegal acts or twice the money lost by the victims of the crime, if either of those amounts is over $100 million.
The Federal Trade Commission Act bans “unfair methods of competition” and “unfair or deceptive acts or practices.” The Supreme Court has said that all violations of the Sherman Act also violate the FTC Act. Thus, although the FTC does not technically enforce the Sherman Act, it can bring cases under the FTC Act against the same kinds of activities that violate the Sherman Act. The FTC Act also reaches other practices that harm competition, but that may not fit neatly into categories of conduct formally prohibited by the Sherman Act. Only the FTC brings cases under the FTC Act.
The Clayton Act addresses specific practices that the Sherman Act does not clearly prohibit, such as mergers and interlocking directorates (that is, the same person making business decisions for competing companies). Section 7 of the Clayton Act prohibits mergers and acquisitions where the effect “may be substantially to lessen competition, or to tend to create a monopoly.” As amended by the Robinson-Patman Act of 1936, the Clayton Act also bans certain discriminatory prices, services, and allowances in dealings between merchants. The Clayton Act was amended again in 1976 by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act to require companies planning large mergers or acquisitions to notify the government of their plans in advance. The Clayton Act also authorizes private parties to sue for triple damages when they have been harmed by conduct that violates either the Sherman or Clayton Act and to obtain a court order prohibiting the anticompetitive practice in the future.

“I don’t think he would have become president without Facebook.”
(Coffee spewing from nose) BWAHAHAHAHAHHAA (inhale)
Facebook... BWAHHAHAHAHAHA
The GOPe want to fall back to loyal opposition minority status, and the socialist-democrats have gone full-tilt Mussolini on the online media world.
And the spacebook/google/youtube censors just keep projecting their socialist-fascist wet dreams on their current/former customers.
So
without Russians’ internet army, GOP can’t win.
If Trump doesn’t get his people out to vote for Republicans then he’s going to be impeached.
Do we, or do we not, have a Justice Department?
On one hand, a black-robbed judge can force a baker to bake a cake for a group they are opposed to on religious grounds, yet Google, Facebook, et. al., are free to NOT “bake the cake” for groups they find offensive.
Again, I ask, where is the Justice Department?
So open a twitter account.
Tweet only conservative messages, pro-life, pro-self defense, etc.
Get banned.
Let’s run up the numbers til they can no longer lie about their actions.
These theories are.....as usual....very much more along the lines of predictions. One the greatest things one can learn in life is that nobody can predict the future.
There is nothing at all good about the PA election in a Republican ++++ district.
I absolutely agree, there is a lot of of excuses being tossed around how this/that does matter. Let us not forget Trump has perhaps 15% support in Washington DC. This is where this so called “wisdom” comes from.
The answer is not to freak out. The out party ALWAYS wins seats in off years. The answer is to breathe deeply, and think, not react.
And where’s the Trump admin on this?
Trying to start a grassroots surge via Q on what was described as “AT&T’s” IBOR isn’t enough.
Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc., at very least also need an antitrust breakup along the lines of when Ma Bell was broken up. Let different companies manage different chunks of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram accounts, for example, but force them to interface seemlessly and have them compete with each other for accounts.
And they also need an IBOR requiring such major edge providers to support all political persuasions. Let individual customers choose whether they want rated-X, racism, political persuasion or other filters curating their feeds.
This crap has to stop or the country is cooked. The same of course pertains to deporting illegals and assuring voter integrity.
“In February Facebook launched a new algorithm to ensure that conservative news would not spread on the social media platform.”
What sort of algorithm? Does it detect certain words, phrases, and then block them?
2018 much worse because of tech? No!
The GOP and conservatives have no ground game, no volunteer boots on the ground. The Democrats do.
In PA, when Lamb got up to give his first victory speech, the first thing he did was lavishly thank the hundreds of boots on the ground. If Republicans/Conservatives had had boots on the ground, Saccone would have won.
If Republicans start putting boots on the ground now, in the primaries, they will win in November...guaranteed.
