Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla) is demanding that persons who mock members of Congress be prosecuted. "The Constitution says that members of Congress shall not be questioned in any other place," Wilson asserted. "Yet, even the shallowest dive into the Internet bumps into numerous criticisms, insults and threats. Not a day goes by when someone isn't calling for voters to oust me from office. This has got to stop." "We're going to shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down and they should be prosecuted," the Congresswoman promised. "Freedom of speech does not protect 'hate speech.'...

In their continuing quest to disarm the law-abiding segment of the US population, some key Democrats are envisioning a technological path toward this objective. At the state level, Gov. Phil Murphy (NJ) pledges to sign legislation requiring every firearms dealer in the state to sell smart guns as soon as they become available from manufacturers. At the national level, former Vice-President Joe Biden is calling for "smart guns" to be made mandatory. Biden claimed that "if James Bond is willing to use a smart gun, then lesser skilled law-enforcement officers and private individuals should be required to use them. Right...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton abruptly canceled her scheduled appearance at the FireEye Cyber Defense Summit set for this coming October. Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill explained that "this conference is for the world's leading security experts. It was decided that an appearance by the Secretary would undermine her claim that she used an unsecured email server and destroyed a dozen communications devices that were under subpoena out of ignorance and unfamiliarity with using computers and cell phones. We felt it would be better for her to adopt a position that as an aging person who grew up before such...

Jen Gennai, head of Google’s “Responsible Innovation” team, advised Democrats “to make sure all the anti-corporate rhetoric stays rhetoric. They need to keep in mind that we are with them 100 percent in their goal to oust Trump and will do everything in our power to assure that this effort succeeds.” “Elizabeth Warren is saying we should break up Google,” Gennai complained. “And like, I love her but she’s very misguided, like that will not make it better it will make it worse, because all these smaller companies who don’t have the same resources that we do will be charged...

Twitter will add warning labels to tweets from world leaders that break its rules following years of public criticism and uncertainty around contentious posts from Donald Trump and other politicians. On Thursday, the San Francisco-based company introduced a new policy for tweets from well known government officials that violate its policies on abuse, harassment, and violent threats. Instead of removing the violative posts, it will put them behind a warning notice. That notice will explain that a tweet was found to be in violation of Twitter’s policies, but has been allowed to remain on the platform because the company believes...

VIDEO A knitting and crochet website, Ravelry, is suffering from extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome with the result that they have banned anybody who posts anything favorable about Donald Trump. Note that this is not a general ban on political discussion. If you upload a project of knitted socks with hammer and sickle designs or post favorably about Elizabeth Warren, that is permissible. Only posting favorably about the Big Bad Orange Man is taboo there.

VIDEO Poppy Harlow disgraced the profession of journalism by advocating strongly in favor of censorship on YouTube. Of course, she wants a ban on Stephen Crowder's channel and other channels that just so happen to be conservative leaning. You never hear her call for a ban on any leftwing videos, no matter how offensive they might be.

It was supposed to be a harmless site, a place for swapping recipes and planning kitchen remodels. Now we know: even the most innocuous platforms aren't immune from Big Tech's censorship. And if that's the case, conservatives are in trouble. Because the problem just got a whole lot worse than we thought. Eric Cochran was an employee of Pinterest, a software engineer. Like a lot of conservatives in the online world, he kept his views to...
