Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made a terrible mistake Tuesday night when he released word that he was in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump. This mistake goes well beyond a simple political miscalculation. It is the physical manifestation of Washington Republican hubris, wrapped in a fog of frightened groupthink.Announced the eve of the House impeachment vote in the pages of The New York Times, McConnell’s plan reportedly rested on the belief that impeaching the outgoing president “will make it easier to purge Mr. Trump from the party.” Published just after the No. 3 House Republican, Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney,...

WARSAW, Poland, January 14, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — The prime minister of Poland has delivered a blistering denunciation of Big Tech censorship, following the recent ban of President Donald Trump and others by virtually all social media giants. On Tuesday afternoon, Mateusz Morawiecki, 52, published a post defending internet freedom in both Polish and English on Facebook.

Political elites worldwide have criticized big tech companies for banning President Donald Trump from their social media platforms. At present, the president has been banned from Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Snapchat, Reddit, and Instagram. Twitter permanently removed Trump’s account, saying that his recent posts were in violation of the “Glorification of Violence Policy.” German Chancellor Angela Merkel called Twitter’s ban on Trump “problematic,” and said that freedom of opinion is an essential right of “elementary significance,” her spokesperson, Steffen Siebert, said on Jan 11. “This fundamental right can be intervened in, but according to the law and within the framework defined...

Former special needs teacher Courtney Tillia has replaced the puny paycheck she made in front of the chalkboard with a staggering six-figure income snapping sexy shots on OnlyFans. “I make four times the annual income I would make as a teacher,” the Arizona native, 33, told The Post of her avant-garde career change. “I’ve been making even more money during the pandemic because people are just stuck home wanting to enjoy my content.” But outside of posing in lusty lingerie pictures and naughty-girl nudes for her 200,000 online admirers, Tillia is a wife and mother of four just trying to...

I heard it is supposed to be about Big Tech, but maybe it's border wall stuff. Who knows for sure these days.

Tech overlord Instagram yanked one of our posts for "violence and incitement" ... and the irony is so thick you can cut it with a knife. The post Instagram removed was a screenshot of fellow tech overlord Twitter's trending section, from this article titled Really: The day after permanently banning Trump for "inciting violence," Twitter allows "Hang Mike Pence" to trend. We posted this to IG: Because, you see, the day after permanently banning Trump for "inciting violence," Twitter really did allow "Hang Mike Pence" to trend. Multiple forms of that sentiment, actually. Which happens to be so inappropriate that...

Hello all. Long time lurker, here. I apologize for posting this thread, but I am a dad raising my 3 daughters. Two will be 13 later this year. I told them when they reached that age or close to it they could open social media accounts. We are working on that now. Part of the problem is that they wish to follow some celebs once set up. My wife and I agreed, as long as they showed us who first. This is where we are facing problems. The first celebrity was Candace Cameron-Bure. She seemed ok, so we agreed. The...
