Last week the UK released an online game called Pathways which was essentially a propaganda game that allows you to play as a new college student that encounters choices that might lead you to become a radical and engage in hate speech or, worse, hate crimes. It's very much pro-immigration. The initiator of most of these "bad" choices is your girlfriend, Amelia, who basically gives the conservative/right-wing viewpoint and whom is considered "bad" in the game. But she has since become a cause celebre. Here somebody made an AI ad of her promoting her views!

Randi Weingarten, the leader of the American Federation of Teachers, has announced that she is leaving X due to "hate" and "disinformation." "It’s time to let X/Twitter go. This platform’s decline from a vibrant public square to what is now a platform for hate, disinformation & manipulation has been painful to experience. Find me & the AFT on Bluesky, Substack, Threads, Instagram, or Facebook," Weingarten announced on Tuesday. Weingarten is active on Bluesky, a liberal-leaning social media platform. Many once-prominent users of Twitter, now known as X since Elon Musk bought it, solely post on Bluesky. Weingarten told Reuters that...

If Britain Bans X, How Far Will It Go To Block Free Speech? COMMENTARY By Ted NewsonJanuary 15, 2026 If Britain Bans X, How Far Will It Go To Block Free Speech?AP In what appears to be a rolling back on free speech and citizen journalism, Britain is fast-tracking a law that will ban non-consensual intimate deepfake images. This is likely aimed at the social media site X.com after its AI assistant Grok allegedly generated inappropriate images. In the scope of the global news cycle and a further ban potentially on the table, the move couldn’t be more poorly timed....

Eva Vlaardingerbroek @EvaVlaar · 13h Holy sh*t.I’ve been banned from traveling to the UK. They revoked my ETA. "Your presence in the UK is not considered to be conductive to the public to the public good."3 days after posting this about Starmer.

At first blush, Trump’s insistence on Greenland sounds outlandish, but recall over 20 yrs ago I began warning of foreigners aggressively claiming Arctic resources and waterways - while America slept. Russia was flagging underseas energy sources, our inventory of icebreakers dwindled to ONE reliable (against DOZENS of foreign-flagged vessels), and DC ignored my concerns of countries hogging new transportation routes that would screw us over. In explaining Alaska’s strategic location (30% of which is in the #Arctic) I was mocked for ringing the warning bells… but really I was just before my time. So now that attention is finally paid,...

Conversation Walter Curt @wcdispatch Okay @DataRepublican , and I did some general numbers on the SomaliFraud cash going through Minneapolis airport. According to reports, over 2 years, they moved roughly $700MM through the airport. That means (if they used $100 bills) they moved 7.7 metric tons of cash, and keep in mind, this is just what was flagged over the past 2 years. Couple notes on that number: That would essentially mean that the Somalis were taking a $1 million dollar duffle bag through the airport — EVERY SINGLE DAY — for two years. Further, we can assume that this...

🚨 JUST IN: Hakeem Jeffries is FUMING after the Supreme Court handed Republicans a BIG WIN. The Court ruled states can challenge the counting of late mail-in ballots submitted up to TWO WEEKS after Election Day. Jeffries melts down: “They will PREVENT a FREE AND FAIR ELECTION in 2026! Or they’d LOSE!” Translation: If Democrats can’t count ballots forever, they panic. If elections have rules, they scream. If fraud gets challenged, they cry “democracy.” Secure elections terrify them. Deadlines terrify them. Transparency terrifies them. CRY MORE.

Things I learned today … Elon Musk✓ @elonmusk

4.5 minute video...Susan Kokinda explains how the British Financial system, along with Canada's, is impacted by Trump's actions in Venezuela. Very interesting...

Europeans can be so stupid on this: 1. “What about the Russians?” We are not allied with Russia. We have a wide variety of sanctions against them. We have long supported Ukraine in the current war. At least Putin doesn’t whine. 2. “We are democratic!” No. Europe is bureaucratic with many layers separating voters from policy. Plus you regulate media and control information so your voters are badly misinformed. 3. “We support free speech!” No you don’t. Either you think we’re stupid enough to believe that or you’re stupid enough to believe it. This whole conflict is driven by your...

BREAKING: SpaceX has announced that @Starlink now has over 9 million customers, up from 8M in November and 7M in August 2025. Starlink added a record 21,275 new customers on average per day since they hit 8M, smashing their previous record of 14,250. That growth rate is a whopping 49.3% higher than it was just last month! 🤯

Korea Zinc announced on Monday a $7.4 billion smelter project in Tennessee that will be backed by the U.S. government and which will lessen our reliance on China for critical minerals used in defense systems, electronics, and so much more that powers our modern world. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick took to X to laud the news: The tweet continues: Today, we announced a major investment with Korea Zinc to build a state-of-the-art critical minerals smelter and processing facility in Tennessee that will produce 540,000 tons per year of essential materials right here in America. He continued, listing a range of...

It was an honor to be recognized by President Trump at the White House Christmas Party. It is an even bigger honor that the President of the United States @POTUS just scooped me on publicly announcing my own engagement to the world from the White House! 💍 I’m very excited to be getting married, and I am thrilled that the greatest President ever approves of the greatest man in my life. ❤️ Thank you, President Trump!

VIDEOIt's on! The European Union vs Elon Musk. The battle began when the EU demanded that X (forever to be known as Twitter) bow down to its censorship regime by paying a 120 million Euro fine. However, the EU may have bit off more than it can chew because it is also trying to extend its censorship to TikTok and Apple and they are also refusing to comply. How will this war end? Will the EU be able to impose its censorship on the rest of the world? Stay tuned!

Absolutely surreal to interview one of the greatest minds of our time, a friend, and boss.

"Meaningful action must accompany any apology," wrote Pearce, who is now stepping away from social mediaGuy Pearce has apologised for sharing “misinformation and falsehoods” about Israel on social media whilst publicly voicing support for Palestine. “It has been brought to my attention that, in my support of Palestine, I have inadvertently re-posted articles, and/or statements, that have contained misinformation and falsehoods,” Pearce told Jewish News, per Variety. “I am aware how sharing inaccurate content can cause confusion and distress; for this I am deeply sorry. I will certainly endeavour to be more diligent in future to verify anything I share...

DESPICABLE: Yesterday, PYM Boston chanted “globalize the intifada” at the site of the Boston Marathon bombing, the largest terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11. Lea Kayali leads PYM Boston and can be seen participating. She was honored by @Harvard_Law last year. cc @FBIBoston

Although WWII is fast (and dangerously) becoming a misty memory, it’s probable that most people still know about the infamous “Tokyo Rose” (actually a collective of English-speaking Japanese women) who would broadcast reports intended to demoralize troops fighting the Japanese. In England, Lord Haw-Haw (another collective) broadcast false news intended to demoralize troops fighting the Nazis. Indeed, Wikipedia has a long list of famous fake-news spouting propagandists during wartime.Image created using AI.Today, propagandists don’t use radios; they use social media, but the tactic is the same: disseminate false material to demoralize the enemy. Yesterday, X, whether intentionally or not (I’ve...

Right Angle News Network @Rightanglenews BREAKING - Waves of Democrat influencers are being exposed as foreigners under X’s new location update, including leftist X agitator Alex Cole, who claimed he voted for Kamala but has now been revealed to be Canadian.

The Babylon Bee has come under fire for a post, that was quickly deleted on X, which appeared to suggest violence against commentator Megyn Kelly. This comes after Kelly said that Mark Levin should debate Tucker Carlson at Turning Point USA's AmFest in December. The post stated, "Megyn Kelly Gets Rid Of Old Pager Just To Be Safe," and included a photo of Kelly alongside a pager. In the fall of 2024, thousands of pagers exploded in an Israeli operation targeting the terror group Hezbollah. Thousands were injured and at least 30 were killed in the attack, which came during...
