I love, love, love me some Clarence Thomas. Every time I want to fuss at Bush Sr, for which much criticism is due, I always remember that at least he gave us Justice Thomas.
Why does the author put Carlson and Buchanan in the same sentence? Hmmm...
Big Tech should be allowed to censor anyone they want—as long as we get to guillotine a member of their Board of Directors whenever we want.
Fair is fair!
That article is so intense I feel like I just read it twice.
PAYPAL HOLDINGS, Inc, is an indispensable, American, global corporation, without whose services, financially transacting online is difficult. The company is worth $16.929 billion.
How is it indispensable and how does it make online transactions less difficult? One can purchase stuff online without using it. And many sites allow the users to provide and store their information in the same exact way PayPal does, without having to pay the fees to PayPal.
Amazon and its likes could be tamed by the Commerce Clause. Facebook, Twitter and ilk could be treated like Western Union and phone companies as communication entities. Paypal like banking, but would not make lot of difference.
Meanwhile, while we wait for “someone” (Congress? bwa ha ha) to DO something ... here is an alternative to PayPal ....
From Dan Bongino (8-10-21):
I can’t thank you enough for making the launch of our new payment processing platform an ENORMOUS success. I thought of the idea after the liberals at Stripe canceled President Trump.
We have onboarded hundreds of new companies just in the past few weeks and we’ll have a big announcement later this week.

What does PayPal do that a regular bricks & mortar bank cannot do?
Is PayPal for people who do not qualify for a credit card?
Is it for people who have problematic banking issues?
So PayPal can turn away a customer because they don’t like what they think he believes but a baker can’t turn away a sexual deviate who wants him to write blasphemies on a cake. Got it!
I never purchase from a PayPal only business. Never have never will.
Thomas is a true hero and national treasure. He’s the only justice I unreservedly respect and admire. That he found his way through the fog of his earlier activities is amazing.
The only area I tend to disagree with him on is with respect to police powers (I think he sometimes construes our protections from abuse and unreasonable search and seizure too narrowly). But I love that he has for decades been direct in his opposition to many unconstitutional activities that the lesser justices ignore or escape via strawmen.

Do they not have editors working at Town Hall? This is a bowl of alphabet soup. I would like to share it with people, but though the content is good the presentation is worse than a High School student would do.
Throwing the words Noblesse Oblige into it cuts off at least 50% of the American populace.
Use a credit card.
