What’s it like getting censored on YouTube? As a content creator, you might be wondering if freedom of speech is right for you. You’ll see what it’s like having the constitutional amendment called community guidelines trump the constitutional right called freedom of speech.

"In case you missed it, last night Joe Biden was cheating worse than Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France."

Others talked about it being a "big deal" and a "historic moment." Obviously, both candidates approached the debate knowing the significance of their performances. Both were ready, even raring, to go! Trump needed to defend his record and show strength; he did that. Biden needed to show that he had the mental ability to make sense and...

Can anybody capture the video of a train blowing its horn as Joe Biden is giving some lame speech in Cleveland today? It happens at the 10:29 ET (9:29 CT) time mark on Fox News Channel.

Democrat operatives must be panicking in the fallout of the first presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, considering the initial response from the Hispanic community. In Telemundo’s poll of Spanish-speaking individuals, a shocking 66 percent of them believed that Trump defeated Biden in the debate. Trump’s popularity among Hispanics has skyrocketed as the Black Lives Matter terror spree has devastated communities across the country. Democrats have either cheered on the orgy of destruction or looked the other way as countless lives have been destroyed nationwide by left-wing terror.

While California courts delay his trial on triple manslaughter and felony DUI charges. Last week, U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England sentenced Ismael Huazo-Jardinez to 15 months in prison for “possessing a firearm while being an alien unlawfully in the United States.” As U.S. Attorney McGregor Scott explained, “Huazo-Jardinez is a citizen and national of Mexico who has twice been removed from the United States and has not been granted permission to return. As an alien unlawfully in the United States, Huazo-Jardinez is prohibited by federal statute from possessing a firearm.” The prison-bound Mexican, as it happens, has yet to face trial...

Here's Exhibit A for how shameless PBS looks during the fall presidential election campaign. On Sept. 22, PBS "Frontline" aired a two-hour documentary on the presidential election called "The Choice," as it does every four years. The quick review: Donald Trump is a vicious "killer" and bully. Joe Biden is "Obama's trusted partner." It began with President Trump's hostile experts such as biographer Gwenda Blair, who said: "Donald's father's overall message to his children was ... compete; win; be a killer. Do what you have to to win." Narrator Will Lyman added Trump "was determined to live up to his...

There is nothing inherently inconsistent with the Senate blocking Merrick Garland in 2016 but confirming Amy Coney Barrett in 2020. But let’s make sure we’re using the right reasons in our arguments. The Constitution is clear: the President has sole power to nominate Supreme Court justices, and a President’s power continues not only until Election Day, but all the way until noon on January 20th—Inauguration Day. So, President Trump is not crossing Constitutional lines by nominating a replacement for Justice Ginsburg a mere 38 days before Election Day. Neither was it Constitutionally wrong for President Obama to nominate a Supreme...

CLAIM: Debate Moderator Chris Wallace claimed that President Donald Trump is ending “racial sensitivity training.” VERDICT: FALSE. Wallace, moderating the first presidential debate on Tuesday night, made a number of inaccurate statements in his questions to both candidates on the topic of race. One was the claim that President Trump is ending “racial sensitivity training.” That is simply not true Trump banned a specific kind of racial insensitivity training, which involves “Critical Race Theory.” As Breitbart News previously explained: Critical Race Theory is the idea that the major institutions of the United States are tainted by slavery and racism because...

Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. This article was first published by the Gatestone Institute. The kidnapping, sexual abuse, and forced conversion of Christian women and girls in Egypt—a “particularly vulnerable group to exploitation” that is quietly living an “unimaginable nightmare”—is rampant with no signs of abatement.  This is the finding of a report published on September 10, 2020 by Coptic Solidary (CS), an international organization based in Washington D.C., that works to promote equal citizenship rights for Egypt’s Christian minority.  In its 15-page report, titled “‘Jihad of the Womb’: Trafficking of Coptic...

Hollywood stars ripped Fox News’ Chris Wallace for his role as the moderator of the first presidential debate on Tuesday, saying that the news anchor was too timid and lost control of the proceedings as President Donald Trump took control of the stage through sheer force of will. Chris Wallace — who repeated that false Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax and erroneously referred to critical race theory as “racial sensitivity training”– had trouble maintaining even a semblance of order as President Donald Trump went on the offensive, dominating the show by aggressively interrupting and heckling Joe Biden. Celebrities seemed frustrated...

The first debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden deteriorated into bitter taunts and near chaos Tuesday night as Trump repeatedly interrupted his opponent with angry — and personal — jabs that sometimes overshadowed the sharply different visions each man has for a nation facing historic crises. In the most tumultuous presidential debate in recent memory, Trump refused to condemn white supremacists who have supported him, telling one such group known as Proud Boys to “stand back, stand by.” There were also heated clashes over the president’s handling of the pandemic, the integrity of the election results,...

As of last Thursday, Biden has been in front of 84 people. Total. Since Labor Day. He shut down over the weekend, ("put a lid on it") and saw no crowds Monday. His totals are not going up. Hillary, at least, made one public speech each week. And 3-4 private fundraisers. Her cross were smaller than Trumps in 2016, but there 5000 - 12,000 at most events. His wife had one appearance in Wisconsin with only 6 people.

A joint polling venture between Just the News and Scott Rasmussen shows that a majority of Americans support confirming Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. The poll indicates that 37 percent of Americans support the nominee, while 30 percent oppose her, and another third are undecided. Peeling back those numbers a little further shows 21 percent strongly favor Barrett’s confirmation and another 16 percent somewhat favor seeing her elevated to the nation’s highest court. Rasmussen points out that the favorable reaction to President Trump’s nominee does not apply to the method in which her nomination is being pushed...

Once the police are gone, nothing can stop the mob. Private property is a human right in a free democratic society. To the authors of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, property is as sacred as Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. In fact, “property” was written in place of “pursuit of Happiness” in the first draft of the Declaration of Independence. Our religious traditions hold private property rights sacrosanct. “Thou shall not steal” is one of the Ten Commandments which are the moral imperatives of our civilization. It’s widely understood that it’s not ok to take other people’s...

Is it because he quasi-endorsed or didn’t push back as hard as he should against the far-left’s agenda during the primaries? Do they know he’s a weak sauce candidate? Or is it because his Hispanic outreach operation has been all-in-all total garbage? On the latter point, it might not be the case of bad outreach operations because the difference in preference regarding who won the first presidential debate is so large. It’s as vast as the Pacific Ocean. While many noted how the first debate went off the rails between President Trump and Joe Biden, Hispanic voters overwhelmingly picked Trump...

Pro-lifers successfully campaign to stop German city hall supporting ‘Safe Abortion Day’ activism The government of Munich had planned to light up city hall in purple to support abortion. MUNICH, Germany, September 29, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The local government of Munich, Germany, refrained from lighting up city hall in purple in support of “International Safe Abortion Day” after backlash from pro-lifers and Catholics, the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising, and higher levels of government. Between 300 and 400 pro-lifers had gathered just a few hundred meters from city hall on Monday, singing and praying. Three speakers criticized the government of...

The debate was unwatchable just as the Left wanted it. This predictable kabuki theater went off just as planed. In case you haven't figured it out, this is all about deconstructing America; this time deconstructing the American Debate such that it was unwatchable last night and unpalatable for most Americans today. The left has already deconstructed many American cities just as Biden deconstructed the American Family, a "big fing deal". Oh and Black Lives Matter just took that objective off their website just recently. Oh, and don't you dare think that Chris Wallace would ever bring this up! And if...

Queens, N.Y., demonstrated how voters could be disenfranchised when mail-in ballots were used during a Democrat primary this summer. This statistic was consistent with an analysis done on mail-in votes nationwide between 2012 and 2018. It was also mirrored in municipal elections in Paterson, New Jersey.div class="thm-piano-mop"> All of these situations are a mix of voters failing to receive ballots, technical errors in filling out the ballots, or the post office failing to postmark the envelopes. Still, the New York City Board of Elections has started mass-mailing ballots for the November elections. It is already a mess.The Gothamist is reporting...

Candidate Biden exceeded expectations and did well. He showed up, he had cogent moments, and he made very few verbal stumbles. Biden spoke a lot of lies but he was smooth in his delivery. However -- surprisingly -- I am seeing even liberal organs (such as the New York Times) call him out on those. President Trump did very well, and in certain segments he definitely rocked. However, he interrupted and spoke over people too much. It came across as too aggressive. It also didn't allow Biden to have the chance to hang himself. Trump's performance did not knock Biden...
