In the vast world of content creators and influencers, Ian Boncodin has found a remarkably simple path to success: get high in public and film it. The Bay Area YouTuber, who goes under the name Damianluck925, has gained hundreds of thousands of followers and millions of views on immediate classic videos like “I GOT WAY TOO FADED AT LOWES” and “EXTREMELY OBLITERATED AT CARL'S JR.” The cannabis schtick is so simple and so obvious that skeptics may wonder why anyone would film it, let alone watch it. But somehow, it’s become 23-year-old Boncodin’s full time career. “It’s pretty crazy how...

Mr Rogers talks about gender Mr. Rogers talks truth about gender and if he was around today and said this on his show do we even have to guess he would be banned, censored, shut down for promoting "hate speech"?

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday told Fox News Digital that Facebook "needs us more than we need them," but confirmed that his campaign is working to set up a meeting to discuss his reinstatement to the platform with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg ahead of the 2024 election cycle. Trump, who announced his 2024 presidential campaign in November, told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that Facebook has "lost $700 billion since I was de-platformed." "It has been considered a major business mistake for them, Twitter, and others," he said. "If they took us back, it would help...

The song "Baraye" (For) was written & performed by Shervin Hajipour in response to Mahsa Amini’s murder by the Iranian morality police, and the protests sparked by it. Iranians around the world posted Tweets with the word “Baraye” followed by their reasons for protesting against the regime. (baraye azadi = for freedom). Shervin gathered messages from tweets and wrote the song. It has become an anthem at protest gatherings against the Iranian regime around the world. 2 days after the release of the song in Sept., Shervin was arrested and the song removed from Iranian controlled websites. He has since...

A Big Tech lawsuit and ‘The Twitter Files’ are showing Democrats used the same process against Trump in 2020 that they falsely claimed he had used to win in 2016. Cross-referencing new information from “The Twitter Files” and a state attorneys general lawsuit against Big Tech with what we know about Spygate from years of investigations reinforces and enlarges shocking conclusions about the corruption of American government. Those two illuminate further how the U.S. bureaucracy interferes in elections, in these cases by pushing communications monopolies to shut down discourse that undermines the administrative state. Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry’s latest...

Russian forces have cut the main north-south highway, that was a supply link for Ukraine forces, north of Bakhmut [Ukraine]. Soledar to the north of that Russian break-through, is in danger of complete encirclement.

A video of a rat dragging a slice of pizza down a flight of subway stairs nearly broke the internet when Matt Little posted the 14-second clip to YouTube in 2015. Seven years later and the viral video has more than 12 million views and still resonates for some who see it as a metaphor for gritty New Yorkers. Little, 41, shared how the rodent became a viral celebrity — and a moneymaker — in an interview with Insider. It all started around 1 a.m. when Little told the outlet he was walking to catch a Brooklyn-bound L train after...

Elon Musk shared some stats and details about Twitter recently, including teasing the idea of compensation for video content on the platform, similar to YouTube.Musk tweeted that his newly acquired social media platform added 1.6 million active users daily in the past week, reaching another all-time high. The new owner and CEO of Twitter is trying to improve the platform with an increasingly small number of employees over the past few weeks.He also teased that Twitter would compensate video creators for their quality videos higher than YouTube. The hint reveals Elon Musk’s future plans for Twitter. The Tesla CEO also...

This is insanity. This video was labeled as "age restricted" .

Independent YouTuber Matt Orfalea does not align with Democrats or Republicans. He eschews any type of label because labels are dangerous, he tells The Federalist. “A lot of people identify with their politics. I just identify as a video creator.”Perhaps this is why Orfalea’s videos are so effective. Amassing hundreds of thousands of views, and in some cases, millions, the filmmaker’s work consists of crisply edited mash-ups of politicians and corporate media figures making complete fools of themselves — without any commentary from Orfalea himself. One such mashup shows politicians and media decrying the Wuhan lab leak theory as a...

In late September videographer Matt Orfalea made a pair of videos for TK. One, Memory Holed: “The Election Was Hacked,” seen above, was a simple montage of Democratic politicians, media officials, and enforcement officials saying the 2016 election was, among other things, “illegitimate,” “rigged,” “hacked,” and a “cyber 9/11.” The second, Memory Holed, Part II: The “Rigged” Election, was a similar exercise, with one exception: it compared the post-2020 statements of Donald Trump to the post-2016 statements of Democratic partisans. When Trump tells Chris Wallace, “I have to see,” when asked if he’d concede an election, Orfalea shows Hillary Clinton...

When it comes to EVs, Toyota has been dragging their feet, but now reality is hitting them smack in the face - they were wrong about EVs - and are beginning to look a bit like Kodak. Meanwhile, Tesla has been kicking butt and taking names and Toyota may soon be a relic of the past if they don’t pivot quickly. The trouble with Toyota is, they have been number 1 in the car business for so long, they find it hard to turn round and even contemplate reducing their dominant position in the ICE vehicles to commit seriously to...

Leftist internet traffic cop NewsGuard is in no position to be throwing around the “hoax” label when its own CEO tried to dismiss the Hunter Biden laptop scandal as a “hoax.” It's a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. NewsGuard released a new self-serving report headlined: “Making YouTube Look Good: Rumble Becomes Hoax Central Ahead of the Midterms.” NewsGuard's primary complaint was that Rumble doesn’t abide by NewsGuard’s leftist ratings system like censorship-obsessed YouTube does: “In search results, Rumble pushes twice as many sites rated untrustworthy by NewsGuard as YouTube,” which is laughable in the face of...

VIDEOYes, it was Deja Vu all over again when YouTube DEMONETIZED my DUmmie FUnnies channel exactly ONE WEEK before the midterm elections. It all felt so familiar since YouTube did exactly the same thing when they demonetized the DUmmie FUnnies channel in 2020 shortly before that election. And it isn't only my channel in which "rules" have been weaponized as a tool of censorship. Louder With Crowder very conveniently got hit with a Community Guidelines strike which prohibits him from uploading videos until the middle of November when the midterm elections are "safely" past. From past experience I have learned...

So many ex-government workers are now employed by Facebook that it’s difficult to view Meta as a private company instead of a government partner, intent on silencing anyone who speaks out against the official narrative. Story at a glance: * Many of the people in charge of moderating content at Facebook have been recruited from the government, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), FBI and the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). * So many ex-government workers are now employed by Facebook that it’s difficult to view Meta as a private company instead of a government partner, intent on silencing anyone...

Even the meanest of intellects can see that something like a Narrative™ exists. Sometimes we call it “the current thing.” Some call it the “hive mind.” The edgier on the internet refer to the “non-player characters” (NPCs), comparing the people apparently mindlessly parroting the accepted Narrative™ as if they are pre-programmed characters in a video game. As if they have no will of their own. It’s impossible not to notice, though. When certain issues come up, anybody deviating from a certain position is viciously attacked and “cancelled.” The enforcers come from a certain economic or social class (“The Elite™), and...

Happy Halloween everyone! I'm curious if anyone here visits the Bedtime Stories YouTube channel. It's based in the U.K. but the channel covers all kinds of accounts involving unexplained events, disappearances, true crime, UFOs, Cryptids, etc. from all over the world. The videos are tastefully done and might be something you will enjoy for Halloween viewing.

Another assortment of groups funded with millions of dollars from liberal billionaire George Soros are adding to the number of groups demanding that Big Tech unleash a censorship Armageddon against so-called election “disinformation.” The Washington Post elevated the Orwellian demands of at least 58 groups within the Change the Terms Coalition. The coalition, per The Post, threw a hissy fit at how Meta, Twitter, TikTok and YouTube were supposedly “just as ill-prepared to fight disinformation from politicians and other public figures whose public pronouncements about the 2022 midterms could undermine Americans’ faith in the electoral process or lead to violence."...

Just a YouTube performance of outstanding music

Woke Inc. author Vivek Ramaswamy reacted to a new MRC Free Speech America study by ripping Big Tech giant Google for manipulating search results to favor Democrats in highly contested senate races. The Strive Asset Management executive chairman unleashed on Google during the Oct. 26 edition of Fox Business Tonight: “We hear alot about the threats to our democracy. Well, guess what! I think this is a big threat to our democracy,” he said. To give “one autocratic actor the chance to tilt the scales of what the public can and cannot see about the candidates that they’re asked to...
