Elon Musk Takes Over Twitter

By Steve Turley

Ultra-billionaire and free speech champion Elon Musk has begun taking over Twitter. It was just announced that the Tesla CEO has taken a 9.2 percent stake in Twitter, purchasing over 73 million shares worth nearly 3 billion dollars. And as such, Musk is now officially the largest shareholder in the company. Musk’s 9.2 percent stake is quadruple the 2.25 percent stake that the founder, Jack Dorsey, has. He owns four-times worth of Twitter stock than its founder owns. 'Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy. Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?' asked Musk. 70 percent of respondents responded 'No,' and keep in mind that Elon Musk conducted this poll on Twitter. [more...]

Elon Musk - Free Speech is Essential to a Functioning Democracy

By Scott S. Powell

When Elon Musk took on Twitter, saying that "the social media platform was failing to adhere to the principles of freedom of expression," many wondered what's up. Then on Monday, it was reported that Musk had put his wallet where his mouth is, buying nearly a 10% ownership of Twitter - a stake worth $3.6 billion and more than four times larger than founder and director Jack Dorsey's position. There is wide speculation that Musk might seek more than a board seat to gain control of Twitter so as to make it a truly free speech platform. He has said numerous times that he is "a free speech absolutist." Well, it's about time that a wealthy American had the courage to take an overdue step to roll back cancel culture and censorship and promote freedom of expression. After all, the Founders gave freedom of expression, along with freedom of religion and assembly the foremost position in the First Amendment of the Constitution for a reason. [more...]

The Taliban's Greatest Asset Isn’t Opium... It’s Our Foreign Aid

By Daniel Greenfield

Over two decades the U.S. and its international partners poured billions in humanitarian aid into Afghanistan. Much of that aid went into the pockets of the Taliban. After Biden’s retreat, the Taliban have consolidated control over Afghanistan. And over all the hungry children, the girls deprived of an education, and all the other sob stories that kept a river of private charity and taxpayer money flowing into a hellhole in which nothing ever got better. At an aid conference hosted by the UN, the UK, Germany and the Islamic terror state of Qatar, which backs the Taliban, $2.4 billion was raised for Afghanistan. The hosts had demanded over $4.4 billion which would have been the largest amount ever raised for any nation. The Biden administration kicked in another $204 million. [more...]

Disney Now Caught in its Own Mousetrap

By James Hirsen

Disney has painted itself into a corner. The predicament in which the entertainment media giant now finds itself is one that is self-made. It is also one from which the company is unlikely to escape unscathed. Some of the policies implemented and statements recently made by a number of Disney's top-level executives have created a backlash from all sides of the ideological and cultural spectrum. And the whole thing may wind up being one of the worst public relations disasters in the history of corporate Hollywood. [more...]

Understanding the Progressive Mind

By David Horowitz

All self-styled revolutionaries are criminals in the making.

Everyone in Washington understands the basic causes of inflation. If you print more money than you have, real assets like gold to back it up, you devalue your currency and make everything cost more. If you declare war on fossil fuels, shut down pipelines, close vast oil fields like Anwar, and don’t approve drilling licenses generally, you cause the price of everything to go up, because virtually everything requires energy to produce. If you spend vast amounts of government money inducing individuals not to work, employers will raise wages to entice them to work, and that, too, will cause prices to go up. It’s not rocket science.

Biden Got 255,000 'Excess' Votes in Fraud-Tainted Swing States in 2020

Biden received hundreds of thousands of "excess" votes in Democratic-controlled areas in the 2020 election, according to an academic study on voter fraud that suggests the push to relax voting standards created new opportunities for electoral mischief. John R. Lott Jr., the man behind the research, teased out those numbers by comparing Democratic-dominant areas to Republican-dominant places over the past two presidential elections, particularly in places where claims of election fraud were reported in 2020. Looking at six swing states, the data he crunched found that voter turnout in Republican areas increased from 2016 to 2020 while voter turnout among Democrats dropped - except in places where voter fraud was claimed.
