    The Illustrated Primer ^ | 02/12/2021 | Yaacov Apelbaum
    On early January, 2021, Mary Fanning and Alan Jones published two pieces in The American Report titled: Proof Positive: Coordinated Cyberwarfare Attack Against US By China, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan To Steal Election From Trump.andSTEALING AMERICA: ‘Former’ Communist Comey Got SCORECARD Election HackingSource Code And Knew SolarWinds Was Not SecureThese articles claim to have a positive proof of a massive coordinated international cyber attack against multiple US election sites during the first week of December, 2020.

    The Constitutional Conservatives ^ | February 10, 2021 | Daniel John Sobieski
    It is rare when a political action can be legitimately labeled seditious and treasonous at the same time. If you ever wondered why the Durham investigation was last seen on the back of a milk carton and why no one involved in thee Russian collusion hoax and the deep state coup to depose the duly elected President Donald J. Trump has been indicted, consider the actions of William Barr, whom Trump economic adviser Peter Navarro, speaking on Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday Morning Futures show on Fox News, dubbed Trump’s last attorney general and Biden’s first. At the end of Trump’s first...

    FR ^ | Sat, 02/06/21 | daniel1212
    I find Free Republic to be in a class by itself among conservative new aggregators, offering (without ads) a multitude of various articles throughout each day on the articles page in which FR provides up to a 100 word excerpt of what the poster posted. (And I myself choose to see 250 articles per page https://freerepublic.com/perl/settings page.) These excerpts provide the reader with an idea of of what the link is about and whether it is worth opening the link (like in a new tab) whereby the user can read the rest of excerpt, and which then enables one to...

    Big League Politics ^ | February 3, 2021 | Shane Trejo
    Michigan election officials are being ordered to hand over records of communications they had with tech giants such as Google and Facebook with regards to 2020 elections that were marred with credible fraud allegations. Antrim County Circuit Judge Kevin A. Elsenheimer is forcing Michigan election officials to produce all communications with Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple related to the 2020 elections. Elsenheimer has also ordered Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and her Bureau of Elections to produce communications with Dominion Voting System and Election Source, the companies responsible for computerized voting systems in Antrim County and much of the state....

    The Hill ^ | 2/4/2021 | Liz Peek
    A Republican leader has decided to take on Big Tech. It’s high time. While other Republican legislators complain and pontificate about Twitter, Facebook and Google’s interference in our elections and censoring of conservative voices, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared war on the tech giants. DeSantis is proposing legislation that asks the Florida state legislature to impose stiff fines – up to $100,000 per day – on tech companies that “deplatform” political candidates running for office in his state. Candidates like, for instance, Donald Trump.
  • In Attempting to Claim There’s No Conservative Bias on Social Media – ‘Experts’ Inadvertently Show Trump CRUSHED Biden in Social Media Too

    Gateway Pundit ^ | February 3, 2021 | Joe Hoft
    The clowns on the Democrat left have done it again. In an effort to claim there is no conservative bias on social media, the ‘experts’ show President Trump crushed Biden in social media as well....In fact, claims of anti-conservative bias are themselves a form of online disinformation that Republicans have sought to wield to turn their supporters against Big Tech, according to researchers at the Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University’s Stern School of Business.....Roll Call states that in spite of conservative censorship Trump crushed Biden on social media as well: The NYU report also compared...

    PJ Media ^ | 1/30/2021 | Philip Carl Salzman
    An open letter published by the McGill Student Society cited my publications in PJ Media and demanded that McGill University cancel me. More specifically, the society demanded that my status as Emeritus Professor of Anthropology be revoked. This letter was signed by the McGill Student society, anthropology undergraduate and graduate societies, four student Middle Eastern and Islamic groups, and a black student group.

    Red State ^ | 01/28/2021 | Nick Arama
    After Menlo Park, California Based Broker-Dealer Robinhood restricted trading and cost many of their retail investors any gains they might have made as they tried to save GameStop from a prospective short, the investors were furious that the company stopped their free market trading. The investors have now filed multiple lawsuits against Robinhood, as we reported, claiming Robinhood was trying to manipulate the market and protect the hedge funds. But they tried to strike back at Robinhood in another way, with giving them a slew of one star reviews in the Google Play Store. More than 100,000 such reviews flooded...

    Red State ^ | 01/28/2021 | Jennifer Oliver O'Connell
    I remember despising the 2015 movie The Big Short for its cavalier representation of what was truly terrible carnage. Like many, the 2008 shorting of mortgage stock, and the pooling of solid mortgages with garbage ones, was devastating on the economy, and upended people’s lives. This is probably why what they have sought to do to us during the pandemic hasn’t completely taken me by surprise; I have already been chewed up by someone’s idea of gaming system.Between 2008-2010, my husband and I had lost two residences, our jobs, and our lives were reduced to our two dogs and what...

    Fascbook is doubling down.Since the violence at the Capitol our dear leader, the almighty Zuck, has sought out to silence dissent against his comrades in the Democrat party. While of course Fascbook is free to do as they please as a private company, somehow claiming to be a free and open forum at the same time is a bit disingenuous. Their actions continue to threaten the free exercise of speech by individuals and by the press, as numerous personal accounts have been suspended for alleged “hate speech” and seemingly innocuous articles posted by news organizations on only one side of...
  • Twitter Launches 'Birdwatch', a Liberal 'Fact Checking' Feature Designed to 'Combat Misinformation' But is Actually Meant to Silence Christians & Conservatives

    nteb ^ | 1/25/21 | Geoffrey Grider
    Twitter unveiled a feature called Birdwatch on Monday meant to bolster its efforts to combat misinformation and disinformation by tapping users in a fashion similar to Wikipedia to flag potentially misleading tweets. Not content with their silencing and censoring the views and opinions of people like Donald Trump, Twitter now turns to the Twitterverse to enlist them to do their dirty work for them. Censorship will become a group effort, where no opinion will be allowed except for the opinion of the group. This is exactly what George Orwell warned would happen one day in America, that day is now...

    National Review ^ | 1/26/2021 | Rich Lowry
    The American media — long stalwart defenders of the First Amendment — are now having second thoughts. For decades, it was a commonplace sentiment among journalists that freedom of the press was one of the glories of our system. It helped to make the government accountable and to air diverse points of view — even unpopular ones — to be tested in the marketplace of ideas

    Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 24 January 2021 | John Semmens
    The Washington Post announced that it is ending its "fact-checking" program. Glenn Kessler, an editor and chief fact-checker cited "the lack of need for such a program under the new administration." "During the four years Trump was president there were more than 30,000 instances where he made misleading or false statements that cried out for corrections by our staff," Kessler asserted. "During this same time span there wasn't a single instance in which a statement by Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, or any other prominent Democrat was found to be untrue. The elevation of Sen. Charles Schumer, a man...

    NYCRight ^ | January 19, 2021 | rmlew
    Over the last two weeks, since Congress met to count the votes from the Electoral College, America has raced down the path of civil war. We all hoped that politicians, Facebook, other social media, online media, and the Old Media would try to calm things down. Instead, they have all taken self-serving actions that have worsened the current situation. We have reached a stage where the political climate in American looks like something out of a piece of dystopian fiction or the start of a civil war. As I write this, there are 26,000 National Guards soldiers occupying and defending...

    If anyone is looking to help my friend out, do NOT use Facebook. Here's why: Facebook - you're on my mind. You are a LEECH. A SCUM SUCKER. I, a disabled Navy veteran, donated to a classmate, friend, and fellow veterans benefit for his medical care. YOU, FACEBOOK, took a "fee" out of that donation. So, my donation wasn't a donation, it was a money making opportunity for you. I will be calling my financial institution at 12 Noon on 22 / Jan / 2021 (TOMORRROW) and refuting the charge if you do not either reverse the fee, or cancel...

    19FortyFive ^ | 1/21/2021 | Peter Suicu
    In August 2020 the United States Air Force was set to receive its 250th Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II, and with that milestone, the fifth-generation multirole stealth warplane became the third-largest fighter fleet in the service’s fleet. That number also accounted for nearly half of the total F-35s of all variants delivered worldwide to that point. The Air Force’s program of record is to purchase and acquire a total of 1,763 F-35As – and 48 of the advanced aircraft have been requested in each of the last three budgets, while Congress has also increased the purchase in recent funding cycles.
