Twitter has suspended the accounts of elected Afghanistan government officials. At the same time Twitter announced they will keep up the Taliban regime accounts. Twitter also suspended President Trump’s account in January and this website’s account in February after we released exclusive video of Democrats driving in a vanload of late night ballots inside the TCF Center in Detroit, Michigan at 3:30 in the morning.

Twitter suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, on Monday for violating its policy against posting “misleading information” related to the coronavirus pandemic. A Twitter spokesperson confirmed to The Post that Greene’s personal account would be in “read-only mode” for 12 hours. According to the social media giant’s COVID-19 vaccine misinformation policy unveiled in March, 12-hour suspensions are doled out for second and third violations. A fourth violation results in a week’s suspension, while a fifth strike would lead to a ban. Greene’s suspension was first reported by the New York Times. Twitter also attached notices to two of...

After admitting that government officials are flagging what they deem “misinformation” to Facebook for censorship, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration is exploring options to exercise more control over social media platforms. “I don’t think we’ve taken any options off the table. That’s up to Congress to determine how they want to proceed moving forward,” Psaki said. “We are not in a war or a battle with Facebook. We are in a battle with the virus. The problem we’re seeing that our Surgeon General elevated last week is that… inaccurate information about vaccines is killing people.”...

Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy acknowledged that Big Tech has taken some “positive steps” to combat misinformation about coronavirus vaccines but “not enough” – amid President Biden’s accusation that Facebook is “killing people” by failing to rid its platform of inaccurate information. Murthy was asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” about Facebook’s statement in response, saying the White House is looking for a scapegoat to blame for the lag in vaccinations and claiming that administration officials have praised the work of the social media giant. “I’ve been very consistent in what I’ve said to the technology companies, and I’ve...

A municipal judge on Thursday ruled that a Roselle Park, N.J. homeowner’s owner’s anti- President Biden flags including the F-bomb on her fence were obscene and must be removed because they violated a borough ordinance. Roselle Park Municipal Court Judge Gary Bundy ordered the Willow Avenue homeowner to remove the signs with profanity within a week or face a $250-a-day fine. Patricia Dilascio is the property owner but her daughter, Andrea Dick, had the signs, three of which include the F-word, on display. “This is not a case about politics. It is a case, pure and simple, about language,” Bundy...

Even before he became President, Donald Trump was no stranger to courtrooms. And he continues to fight a barrage of lawsuits, many of which seem to revolve around the First Amendment.But maybe the weirdest lawsuit yet has just been resolved: the former POTUS was sued for retweeting a “fake news” meme on his account when he was President.This has resulted in a “first-of-its-kind” ruling by a New York judge.Trump made waves when he retweeted a video originally posted by social media personality CarpeDonktum. This meme slammed the mainstream media for being “fake news” and got a ton of circulation.The Hollywood...

WH Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, says Biden Administration is actively flagging post for Facebook they believe is misinformation on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Law professor Alan Dershowitz was dragged online after saying Wednesday that former president Donald Trump's lawsuit against Google, Facebook and Twitter is an "important First Amendment case." "This is the most important First Amendment case of the 21st Century," the lawyer declared on Fox News' "Hannity." He went on, "It's important because it pits freedom of speech on the one hand against the First Amendment on the other hand. That may sound paradoxical, but remember, it's the high-tech giants that are banning freedom of speech. They are censoring but they're claiming the right to do so under the First Amendment...

Trump’s lawsuits against Big Tech — although most Americans aren’t likely to hear this any time soon — could prevail according to analysts and experts.The familiar protest that private companies are not bound by the First Amendment is directly addressed in Trump’s lawsuits against the major tech companies; and the central argument that these particular private companies should be treated as agents of the state has precedent to support it.“Their censorship constitutes state action because the government granted them immunity from legal liability, threatened to punish them if they allow disfavored speech, and colluded with them in choosing targets for...

When will the Republicans wake up and see that the Democrat Party is not working for the US’s best interest? They work for POWER and will do anything to get it and keep it. We saw in nearly every big state lawsuit after the election that Obama judges were being assigned to the cases. They had multiple documents ready before they even heard the cases which ruled against President Trump and the American people every time. In February 2017 we reported on Obama and Carter judges making insane rulings against President Trump. We saw Obama judges obstructing justice with unconstitutional...

This is not about banning racists from speaking, but in using representative government to deny them the privilege of receiving taxpayer sinecures to help them pursue America's collapse.This is not about banning racists from speaking, but in using representative government to deny them the privilege of receiving taxpayer sinecures to help them pursue America's collapse.

The NSA denied ‘targeting’ Tucker Carlson, but did not deny reading his emails. The NSA also did not deny that it may have accessed his communications through ‘incidental collection.’I laughed when Fox News host Tucker Carlson said a National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower told him that agency was monitoring his emails to leak them in an attempt to take his show off the air. From my 19 years as a CIA analyst and five years with House Intelligence Committee staff, I found this impossible to believe, for three reasons.First, I believed NSA’s huge and lumbering bureaucracy would never agree to...

The U.S. Supreme Court handed a stunning defeat to the enemies of the First Amendment by invalidating a California law forcing nonprofits to disclose their largest donors — and liberals are losing it. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion of the Court in Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta, Attorney General of California. The syllabus for the opinion reasoned that “California’s disclosure requirement imposes a widespread burden on donors’ associational rights.” It continued: “[T]his burden cannot be justified on the ground that the regime is narrowly tailored to investigating charitable wrongdoing, or that the State’s interest in administrative convenience...

An education nonprofit argues that in order to complete the training, students were compelled to answer questions in a way that agreed with the university’s position on transgenderism. The University of Oklahoma rejected FIRE's request to make its mandatory diversity training optional. The University of Oklahoma rejected an appeal from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a nonprofit, to revise its mandatory diversity training. Recently, the FIRE discovered that the University of Oklahoma is forcing students to attend a virtual program that “required trainees to acknowledge their agreements with the university’s approved political viewpoints in order to complete the...

Roselle Park officials have given a court date to a homeowner who has profanity-laced anti-President Joe Biden flags outside her residence. The Willow Avenue property owner was issued a summons Monday over three of six flags that her daughter, Andrea Dick, has on display outside the Willow Avenue property, including one that says “F--- Biden” and another that shows former President Donald Trump raising middle fingers. The summons charges Dick’s mother with “having signs hanging on fence containing obscenity” and cites an ordinance that prohibits signs featuring “obscene, pornographic or lewd messages.” She is scheduled to appear in court on...

The question of how to counteract cancel culture goes far deeper than the question of legal or illegal speech.While some Republicans build their campaigns around cancel culture in the form of a broad bumper sticker slogan or rebuke the party for seeking leaders dissimilar to neoconservatives like Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, the issue of standards—and what those standards ought to be—should be at the heart of the cancel culture discussion on the right. It’s time for conservatives to make morals a focal point and not overgeneralize by invoking free speech as an end-all, be-all. Cancel culture, which Federalist writer Tristan...
