Here is a list of the many times Mark Zuckerberg and his Meta have tampered with elections and fre speech. Not comprehensive but good.
He then censored scientists, doctors, and mRNA vaccine-injured individuals.
Zuckerberg proceeded to censor scientists, doctors, and citizens who opposed Fauci's school closures, lockdowns, and mandates.
"Some people think this is misinformation, but this is the truth. It is actually happening."
This is tantamount to rigging a US presidential election that was determined by only 44,000 votes in three swing states.
There's more; read the whole article!

A Colorado grocer fired an employee for VIDEOTAPING a theft in progress.
Seems the company has a policy that employees are not to interfere with theft. The worker didn't interfere - he chronicled.
From the Blaze:
Last month, Santino Burrola went viral after posting a video to social media showing three men loading a basket full of stolen laundry detergent into a mini van in the parking lot of a King Soopers grocery store.
"Damn, these guys are good— look at 'em, stealing," Burrola said in the video. "Really, bro? You got to resort to this? The economy's not that bad. Better get it while the gettin's good."
As the vehicle drove off, Burrola managed to yank a piece of aluminum foil covering the license plate. He called police and shared the video on social media. His efforts helped police identify the driver of the car, whom they later arrested. Police are still searching for the other two men, but, fortunately, they know their identifies thanks to Burrola.
But that didn't stop King Soopers from terminating Burrola.
The former military police officer toldKCNC-TV that when he returned to work for the next shift following the theft, he was suspended. Then, during a meeting with the company that included a union representative, he was fired.
Apparently, King Soopers officials believe Burrola violated an employee policy that instructs employees not to intervene in theft.
In a statement, the company refused to comment on the matter directly, saying:
We have security measures in place to help prevent crime and de-escalate such confrontations to minimize the risk to our associates. While we are unable to comment on personnel matters, we value our hardworking associates and their safe return home.What kind of company fires a guy for trying to save them money?
And what will this lead to for our society when good men are restrained from resisting evil?

A judge has ruled that Facebook violated it's own terms of service by suppressing a video by Tucker Carlson where Carlson argued the Covid vaccine did no good. And this was in coordination with the Biden White House.
From the Daily Caller:
A federal judge accused Facebook on Tuesday of coordinating with the White House to censor posts that did not violate its content policy, including a video by former Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson.
Judge Terry Doughty of U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana Monroe Division described in his injunction the efforts from White House officials to pressure Facebook to censor a video Carlson made about vaccines in April 2021. (RELATED: REPORT: Fox News Trying To Silence Tucker Carlson)
Huge:
A federal district judge preliminary banned Biden Administration officials from continuing to speak and meet with Big Tech officials to pressure them to censor viewpoints the US Govt dislikes.
The 1st Am bars such censorship pressures:https://t.co/jGL6a5O8oi
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) July 4, 2023
On April 14, 2021, Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Digital Strategy Rob Flaherty emailed Facebook demanding censorship of Carlson and then-Fox News host Tomi Lahren, according to Doughty. He claimed the top post about vaccines that day was "Tucker Carlson saying vaccines don’t work and Tomi Lahren stating she won’t take a vaccine.”
Facebook promised Flaherty a report by the end of the week.
The same day, then-White House advisor Andy Slavitt emailed Facebook executive Nick Clegg about Tucker Carlson’s "anti-vax message” and complained about Facebook’s lack of action, Doughty reported.
"Not for nothing but the last time we did this dance, it ended in an insurrection,” Slavitt said, according to court filings. (RELATED: ‘He’s Curious’: Tucker Carlson Reveals Why He Thinks The Media Hates RFK Jr.)
Clegg responded with a detailed report about Carlson’s post and said the video was being "demoted” despite, according to Clegg, it not violating Facebook’s content policy on COVID-19 vaccines. Facebook also attached a label to the video with authoritative COVID information and did not recommend it to users, Doughty wrote.
Facebook employee Brian Rice sent Clegg’s report about Carlson’s post to Flaherty, who responded by asking for more details on why Carlson’s video was not removed. Flaherty also alleged, according to Doughty, that Facebook provided incorrect information through Crowd Tangle, a content moderation platform for publishers.
"If the allegations made by Plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history,” Louisiana Judge Terry A. Doughty said.

Flaherty continued to demand answers from Facebook in an April 16 email about the Carlson video, according to the records cited by Doughty. Facebook sent Flaherty a follow-up on April 21 after an apparent call with the White House official, basing the call off of context within an email from Facebook to Flaherty.
He was told Carlson’s video did not violate Facebook’s policy, but Facebook demoted the video by 50% for seven days and would continue demoting it, according to Doughty.

The idea that this is the first time there’s been coke in the White House is almost endearingly sweet in it’s naivety.
I’ve never been to Washington DC but I’d imagine that at least three quarters of the staff of every politician and official there and half their family members have taken coke in a federal building.
I bet there’s more coke in the average government building anywhere in the West then there was in a desperate Nazi regiment in the dying days of World War Two.
It explains as much of the decision making as corruption and nut job ideology does. You probably don’t get to the top level unless they have seen you snorting coke off the tits of an underage hooker and have it all on film for their own reassurance and pleasure.
Pence was probably high when he did that elbow bump with Pelosi.
Tim responds:
Probably true. We know Obama was a cokehead before being President. We know Roger Clinton said Bill Clinton snorted coke "he has a nose like a vacuum cleaner". We know John Boehner was a drunk and now a pot salesman, so probably used coke as well. I think Daniel is right here.
And I think they DO get it all on tape so they can blackmail newcomers.I believe D.C. works like a mafia organization. I believe they blackmail everyone who comes through.
Look at former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert; we now know Hastert was being blackmailed for raping a high school wrestler (male) when he was a coach. The public didn't know it but certainly they knew it on Capitol Hill; the FBI undoubtedly knew it. He was being blackmailed. Anyone who remembers that era knows Hastert was hopelessly feckless as Speaker. Now we know why.

Well, that didn't take long.
Mark Zuckerberg's new rival to Twitter is already censoring stories about the cocaine found at the White House.
From Not the Bee.
Yep, just censoring a factually true story about cocaine being found in Joe Biden's White House because the poster posted real pictures of Hunter Biden doing cocaine and implied there might be a connection.
At least it's non-partisan, right?
Oh.
Well, at least it respects your privacy —
Huh.
So it censors you for posting facts that might make people in power look bad, tries to dissuade you from following one side of the political aisle, and tracks everything you do.
And on top of that, it doesn't work.
You also have to delete your whole Instagram account if you decide to remove your account on the Threads app.
Whoops.
The House needs to start hearings to prepare for breaking up Meta and the Zuckerberg empire.

Thomas Sowell:
"A related assertion is that there was never a "golden age,” often said in answer to people who never claimed that there was, but who happen to think that some past practice produced better results than some present practice. Instead of offering evidence that the present practice produces better results, panaceas and golden ages are dismissed. Sometimes the same notion is expressed by saying that we cannot or should not "turn back the clock.” But unless one accepts as dogma that all things subsequent to some arbitrary date are automatically better than all things prior to that date, this is another evasion of specifics, another argument without an argument."
I'm re-reading his "Intellectuals and Society" and revisiting all the sections I highlighted on all the other times I have read it. There is so much worthy of deeper consideration and applicable to our times, the highlighted words are about to outnumber those that aren't.
Sowell also made an important point about "the anointed":
"Because the vision of the anointed is a vision of themselves as well as a vision of the world, when they are defending that vision they are not simply defending a set of hypotheses about external events, they are in a sense defending their very souls—and the zeal and even ruthlessness with which they defend their vision are not surprising under these circumstances. But for people with opposite views, who may for example believe that most things work out better if left to free markets, traditions, families, etc., these are just a set of hypotheses about external events, and there is no such huge personal ego stake in whether those hypotheses are confirmed by empirical evidence. Obviously everyone would prefer to be proved right rather than proved wrong, but the point here is that there are no such comparable ego stakes involved among believers in the tragic vision.
This difference may help explain a striking pattern that goes back at least two centuries—the greater tendency of those with the vision of the anointed to see those they disagree with as enemies who are morally lacking. While there are individual variations in this, as with most things, there are nevertheless general patterns, which many have noticed, both in our times and in earlier centuries. For example, a contemporary account has noted:
Disagree with someone on the right and he is likely to think you obtuse, wrong, foolish, a dope. Disagree with someone on the left and he is more likely to think you selfish, a sell-out, insensitive, possibly evil.
Supporters of both visions, by definition, believe that those with the opposing vision are mistaken. But that is not enough for those with the vision of the anointed. It has long been taken for granted by those with the vision of the anointed that their opponents were lacking in compassion. Moreover, there was no felt need to test that belief empirically."
That Sowell isn't recognized as a national treasure is both unconscionable and a tragedy.
Tim adds:
It's a religion, not merely a worldview. You must understand that to understand the whole of the "anointed" behavior. They worship themselves as demigods. Or as plain old gods even. One does not contradict a god, even if the god is wrong.

The Left obviously hates the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They only used it and pretended to like it while Communists were busy subverting America in the 20th century. Now they think they have all the levers of control they need to impose their dictatorship. They used to pretend to be about the proletariat, too, but they don't bother with that pose anymore.
Communism and fascism are essentially the same thing, since neither despite their pretensions eliminate "capitalism," any more than they can eliminate arithmetic, but fascism focuses on State manipulation and bribery or extortion of corporate (or in the past noble) entities as a means of exerting control over their subordinate individuals, whether employees or shareholders.

Do notice the U.S. is third, although quite a way back. But the U.S. has added a hundred MILLION people since 1980, and we keep letting millions in every year. How long before we become another India or China? And these people are not culturally Americans and won't become Americans in terms of culture or heritage. As our numbers swell our culture and traditions dissipate.

What has happened to my country? There used to be political lines that just weren't crossed. Both major parties would unite and speak out about racism, anti-semitism, bigotry and hate. When America was attacked we united to defeat the attacker. That was then, this is now.
If you are a Democrat in Congress you can now viciously verbally attack Christians, Jews, Our American History, White people, Police, Americans who want secure borders, the wealthy, Capitalism and other Patriotic symbols like the flag, statues, or the Armed Forces. These vicious verbal attacks are defended as free speech. Yet where is free speech that oppose these vicious verbal attacks? The Democratic leaders in the Party as well as the Democrats in Congress refuse to criticize fellow Democrats that have crossed the line. Even if the vicious verbal attacks are lies, there is silence. The ugliness and the hate have now become mainstreamed.
The result of mainstreaming hate is you get domestic terrorism.
Wiki Defines Domestic Terrorism: "Domestic terrorism is a form of terrorism in which victims within a country are targeted by a perpetrator with the same citizenship as the victims. The United States Department of State defined terrorism as "premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience.""
Wiki also defines "The Antifa" movement is
a conglomeration of left-wing autonomous, militant anti-fascist groups
in the United States. The principal feature of antifa groups is their
use of direct action, with conflicts occurring both online and in real
life. They engage in varied protest tactics, which include digital
activism, property damage, physical violence, and harassment against
those whom they identify as fascist, racist, or on the far-right.
Activists involved in the movement tend to be anti-capitalist
To me it is clear that the ANTIFA is a domestic terrorist organization. And just as Congressional Democrats will not criticize the vicious verbal attacks from their own ideological brothers and sisters, we now see Democrat controlled cities allowing ANTIFA to viciously violently attack opposition political beliefs.
Take Portland Oregon:
An elderly man was
brutally beaten by Antifa thugs wielding baseball bats in downtown
Portland, Ore., over the weekend. Another man, a Good Samaritan who
came to his defense, was cracked in the skull with a crowbar.
Not too far away from that altercation journalist Andy Ngo was set upon by another gang of leftist savages. He was punched in the face and pummeled by violent kicks. Others in the crowd sprayed the defenseless journalist with milkshakes laced with quick-drying cement and caustic chemicals.
"It was complete anarchy and lawlessness,” Ngo
said during an interview on The Todd Starnes Radio Show. Ngo, an editor
and photojournalist
And yet, Ngo said there were no law enforcement officers anywhere near the attack – leading many to speculate that police officers had been given an order to stand down and not stop the Antifa thugs.
Mayor Ted Wheeler’s office will not comment on the accusations, but Ngo’s attorney said there is no doubt in her mind that such an order was given.
"The mayor is a weak coward for what he did here,” Harmeet Dhillon said on a radio show, calling the attack on her client a "shocking civil rights violation.”
So there you have it. Just as Democrats in Congress looked the other way when the vicious verbal attacks came from their own ideological brothers and sisters we now have moved to Democrat controlled cities looking the other way and allowing ANTIFA to viciously violently attack opposition political beliefs. Another big line is being crossed. Allowing masked gangs to terrorize citizens without the police intervening and worse, the police are given "stand down" orders.
So now we have anarchy in the streets coming to a sanctuary city near you. Will the sane Democrats now come out and speak up? Don't bet on it.

Here are my thoughts on Pride Month and the rise of LGBTQ:
They said it was none of our business, that what they do in the privacy of their own bedrooms was their business. We acquiesced. They then said they should be able to take their partners about openly and we had no right to judge. We acquiesced. They then demanded they could stay in th military while openly being gay. First we said "don't ask, don't tell" but that wasn't good enough. Eventually we acquiesced. They said they should be able to adopt children and teach their abhorrent lifestyles to our most vulnerable. We acquiesced. Then they demanded the right to marry, even though there has never been gay marriage in all of human history. We did NOT acquiesce, but radicals on the Supreme Court did.
Now we have Pride Month and bare-breasted transvestites at the White House, we have naked men riding bicycles at parades, we have children taken to drag shows, we have pornography promoting homosexuality in the schools, we have small children taught about how to give blow jobs, we have governments demanding we use the gender pronoun of their choice, we have kids as young as six getting hormones and having body parts removed.
They rammed Dylan Mulvaney down our collective throats.
Seems to me we acquiesced entirely too much.
IF the LGBTQ community really wanted to be treated like everyone else they would stop demanding special privileges and sticking it in our faces.

Biden's Cocaine Administration has decided to keep the remaining J.F.Kennedy assassination documents under wraps indefinitely.
Would any Biden voter please explain what kind of information cannot be released, 60 years later?
thanks
>>
"n light of the recommendation for continued postponement of public
release of information in the records identified in section 2(b) of
this memorandum under the statutory standard, I hereby certify, by the
authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of
the United States of America, including section 5(g) (2) (D) of the
Act, that continued postponement of public disclosure of that
information is necessary to protect against identifiable harms to the
military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, and the
conduct of foreign relations that are of such gravity that they
outweigh the public interest in disclosure."<<

Biden, showing himself to be a real tyrant in every sense of the word, keeps trying to overturn the First Amendment.
He just lost in court, I might add.

Only a tyrant seeks to block free speech. Joe Biden and his ilk need to answer for this.
It should be one of the articles of impeachment against him.

Have any of you been seeing the massive reporting about this? Released on a Friday, just before a holiday, that's typical of our government that wants no sunlight on its malfeasance. The Mockingbird Media will try to spin this into President Trump set up The Most Dangerous Dumbass In History® who was just an innocent bystander. This event is what switched the polls on Biden, he entered office in the positive, but has never recovered (42.5% approval / 53.5% DISAPPROVAL). Our traitor media will attempt to sweep this under the rug, while blaming Orange Man Bad.

But the truest representation of the end point of automatic value through identity alone, how this would manifest in the real world, would be a person who cannot write, cannot speak, cannot think, cannot function in society, cannot strive or work or delay gratification, cannot control their emotions or restrain their desires, cannot imagine another way of looking at the world, cannot understand logic, reason or beauty, and has denied in themselves and would deny to others, all of the capacities and skills that make us fully human. And this end point can be reached either on the streets, by feral youths, gangs and rioters who have never been educated out of purely selfish barbarism, or in the classroom, the university and the media studio, by professional, successful and privileged individuals who have been ‘educated’ INTO an ideology that can be described as barbarism blessed with resources, a barbarism that is chosen, quite deliberately, above the ancient and hard acquired lessons of civilisation.

BREAKING: One of the Prosecutors who signed off on the Hunter Biden charges and oversaw the investigation worked for a former business partner of Hunter Biden.
US Assistant attorney Derek Hines, who signed off on the minimal charges, worked for former FBI Director Louis Freeh. The former FBI director started a consulting firm and worked with Hunter Biden and even donated $100,000 to Joe Bidens grand children.
How much more corrupt can the DOJ be?
