Shocking New Study Shows Big Tech Censorship Is A Way Bigger Problem Than You Thought

/0 Comments/in , /by

When people talk about censorship, they typically regard the victim as the particular person or entity whose speech is suppressed by some aggressor — which in recent memory has been predominantly Big Tech. But what about all the people for whom that information is no longer available? These people are victims of secondhand censorship, which massively compounds the issue, as revealed by a shocking new study.

The Media Research Center (MRC), which defines secondhand censorship as “the number of times that users on social media had information kept from them,” found that Big Tech has engaged in direct censorship of individuals and organizations at least 4,000 times. Other users, however, were blocked from seeing these posts or videos at least 144,301,713 times in the first quarter of 2022 alone. That’s more than 36,000 times the instances of direct suppression.

By adding the followers of those censored by Big Tech, MRC calculated how many people were prevented from seeing a post or video that was removed or otherwise suppressed.

“It’s truly mind-boggling that the Silicon Valley speech police have this kind of power,” MRC founder and President Brent Bozell said. “This report gets us one step closer to understanding the real impact anti-conservative discrimination at Facebook, Twitter and others are having on speech in this country.”

Through its own CensorTrack database, MRC found Facebook to be the greatest culprit, with users undergoing secondhand censorship 86,627,526 times. YouTube was second at 23,543,230, and Twitter was close behind at 17,065,054. (Read more from “Shocking New Study Shows Big Tech Censorship Is a Way Bigger Problem Than You Thought” HERE)

Court Orders DOJ to Cough up Biden’s Election-Takeover Documents Before Midterms

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal district court ruled last week that the Biden Department of Justice must hand over documents related to Biden’s executive order federalizing elections before the 2022 midterms and not after.

As a lawsuit filed by the Foundation for Government Accountability details, the DOJ sought to release the documents in 2023, because any time before that would “put an undue strain on agency resources.” The court sternly disagreed with the DOJ’s timeline and ordered it to provide all the documents requested by the Foundation for Government Accountability before the midterm elections, a major blow to the Biden administration.

As The Federalist has reported, Biden’s executive order directs all 600 federal agencies to focus on increasing voter registration and turnout. Multiple agencies subsequently decided to turn federal facilities — especially those that deal with federal benefits — into voter registration agencies. The agencies are also allowed to work with left-wing get-out-the-vote groups. (Read more from “Court Orders DOJ to Cough up Biden’s Election-Takeover Documents Before Midterms” HERE)

House-Passed ‘Respect for Marriage Act’ Isn’t About Marriage. It’s About Complying With Woke Ideology.

/0 Comments/in , /by

In an alarmist overreaction to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, congressional liberals this week passed radical legislation mislabeled as the Respect for Marriage Act.

Although the bill’s final passage would threaten civil society and fundamental American freedoms, conservatives should see this development for what it really is: a publicity stunt.

Its goal? Take the spotlight off progressives’ radical policies and paint conservatives as bigots—and all this conveniently before the midterm elections.

The House’s 267-157 passage of the bill, HB 8404, comes a week after the Department of Education published a proposed rule that would force federally funded schools to accommodate gender ideology in all school activities and programs. This change would mean requiring biological males to use women’s facilities, forcing faculty and students to use others’ preferred personal pronouns, and withholding funds from those institutions that refuse to comply.

House passage Tuesday of HB 8404 also comes before a proposed rule from the Department of Health and Human Services that would force medical professionals to provide and insure controversial cross-sex interventions and abortion services.

Tucker Carlson Mocks Joe Biden on Cancer, Delaware: ‘It Rains Oil’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has mocked President Joe Biden for suggesting that he contracted cancer due to pollution heavy enough to cause a windshield “oil slick” during his childhood in Delaware. . .

Carlson began his popular opinion show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Wednesday by insisting that Biden had announced that he was currently afflicted with cancer and had abruptly left the stage while refusing to take any “questions about his condition.” . . .

Carlson suggested that Biden may have been diagnosed with “dementia” rather than cancer, while also insinuating that Biden had painted Delaware as “such an awful state” that it “rains oil.” The Fox News host expressed skepticism about the White House saying that the president was speaking about his past experiences with skin cancer rather than a current diagnosis.

“The president explained that he has cancer because he grew up in Delaware, which is apparently such an awful state that everyone who lives there gets cancer,” said Carlson. “In Delaware, it rains oil—that’s how dirty Delaware is, it’s a great state.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Mocks Joe Biden on Cancer, Delaware: ‘It Rains Oil'” HERE)

Does the President Have Cancer? Biden: ‘I and So D**n Many Other People I Grew up With Have Cancer’; Here’s How the WH Is Covering Up His Gaffe (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden indicated that he has cancer, during an alarming speech delivered on Wednesday to promote clean energy.

The president spoke at the site of a shuttered coal plant in Massachusetts, vowing that one day, it would be the site of clean energy programs fueled by windmills off of the East coast. . .

He recalled how after the first frost, residents of Claymont had to turn on the windshield wipers to get the oil slick off the windshields of their cars because of the pollution.

“That’s why I and so damn many other people I grew up with have cancer,” Biden continued. “And why … for the longest time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the nation.”

It is unclear what Biden was referring to. He has repeatedly tried to sympathize with cancer patients recalling that his son Beau Biden died of cancer at the age of 46. (Read more from “Does the President Have Cancer? Biden: ‘I and So D**n Many Other People I Grew up With Have Cancer’” HERE)

Here’s How the White House Is Covering Up Joe Biden’s Latest Gaffe

By New York Post. President Biden said Wednesday that he has cancer, forcing the White House press office to quickly clarify that he was referring to skin cancer treatment that he had before taking office last year.

The remark initially appeared to be a stunningly casual health announcement during a speech about global warming in which the president described emissions from oil refineries near his childhood home in Claymont, Del. . .

White House spokesman Andrew Bates referred The Post to a tweet from Washington Post columnist Glenn Kessler, who noted that Biden had “non-melanoma skin cancers” removed before he took office.

It’s unclear why Biden chose to use the present verb tense to describe his experience with cancer.

“He said ‘I have cancer’ in the present tense you absolute dips–t,” Greg Price of XStrategies LLC tweeted in response to Kessler. (Read more from “Here’s How the White House Is Covering Up Joe Biden’s Latest Gaffe” HERE)

Is the DOJ Preparing to Formally Charge Hunter Biden?

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is considering if tax and gun-related charges will be brought against President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in connection to a federal investigation into his business dealings.

The investigation into Hunter Biden, led by U.S. District Attorney David Weiss, has “intensified” recently as officials discuss moving forward in a politically delicate case as the midterms loom, sources told CNN.

The DOJ initially investigated Hunter Biden for possible financial crimes, including money laundering and campaign finance laws, while Joe Biden was vice president, CNN noted. But the DOJ has reportedly limited its scope to focus solely on allegations the president’s son committed tax and gun-related crimes.

Most Americans Believe Joe Biden Profited From Son’s Corrupt Business Deals

/0 Comments/in , /by

A poll of Joe Biden voters after the 2020 election showed that if they had known of the evidence of the candidate’s complicity in an international business trading off access to the White House, they would not have voted for the Democratic candidate.

Now, a poll published Tuesday indicates American voters overall believe Joe Biden profited from the deals made by his son Hunter and brother Jim with the likes of Chinese Communist Party operatives and corrupt Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs.

The Rasmussen Reports survey found 69% of likely U.S. voters believe it’s likely the president was aware of at least some of Hunter Biden’s business dealings, including 49% who believe it’s very likely.

Significantly, 62% believe Joe Biden personally profited from deals with companies tied to the Chinese Communist Party, including 44% who think it’s very likely.

Most, however – attesting to how the Justice Department and media treat Democrats and establishment figures in comparison to conservatives – don’t believe Hunter Biden will face criminal charges. (Read more from “Most Americans Believe Joe Biden Profited From Son’s Corrupt Business Deals” HERE)

Bears Eat Star Athlete, Rich Tourist Couple After Helicopter Crash In Rugged Wilderness

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A wealthy couple and their pilot were tragically mauled and eaten by wild bears after their helicopter crashed in the Russian wilderness last week.

Zoya Kaygorodova and Sergey Kolesnyak, a couple in their 30s, were on a pricey tour of the Russian Far East, flying high above the Kamchatka peninsula on the Sea of Okhotsk when the helicopter flown by famous Russian biathlete Igor Malinovsky went down. Authorities said the chopper ran into bad weather.

“The missing aircraft was found by a passing helicopter on the afternoon of July 17 near the Semyachik pass, 13 kilometers from the Uzon volcano,” the Russian Emergencies Ministry said in a statement. “Unfortunately, no one survived the crash.”

European news reports say the wreckage and three mangled bodies were recovered near Kamchatka, Newsweek reported Tuesday.

Malinovsky, just 25 years old and a five-time world junior biathlon champion, reportedly lost communication due to the bad weather conditions shortly before the chopper crashed. Russian media said Malinovsky was from the Kamchatka region. (Read more from “Bears Eat Star Athlete, Rich Tourist Couple After Helicopter Crash in Rugged Wilderness” HERE)

Russian Lawmakers Blame Losses on Experimental Ukrainian Super-Soldiers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russia on Monday outrageously claimed that its massive army has failed to deliver Ukraine to President Vladimir Putin because it is fighting against experimental super-soldiers, turned into “cruel killing machines” by US studies.

Two Russian lawmakers told reporters this week that the Kremlin is investigating the blood of Ukrainian prisoners of war, and has found “evidence” of experimentation, Russian outlet Kommersant reported.

Russian Senator Konstantin Kosachev told the outlet that the blood of Ukrainian prisoners contained traces of pathogens he claimed were “atypical” for Ukraine.

Kosachev claimed this was evidence of “experiments” being conducted on Ukrainian servicemen.

IrIrina Yarovaya, deputy chair of the State Duma, took the claims further, and said the supposed experiments were focused on the creation of more vicious soldiers. (Read more from “Russian Lawmakers Blame Losses on Experimental Ukrainian Super-Soldiers” HERE)

Buttigieg, Dems’ Likely Presidential Contender, Wants to Take Away Your Cars

/0 Comments/in , /by

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg — considered the most likely Democratic candidate for president in 2024 after Joe Biden in the latest Washington Post ranking — says the solution to high gas prices is getting “most Americans” to switch to electric vehicles. Willingly or not.

As secretary, Buttigieg is issuing federal regulations to force states to limit the use of gas-powered vehicles. If he becomes president, we’ll be living in green hell, compelled to buy pricey electric vehicles to comply with his climate zealotry.

Right now, fewer than one percent of vehicles on the road are electric-powered. EVs are probably the long-term future. But they won’t solve the current pain at the pump. They cost too much. And charging them is a logistical nightmare. The United States has 150,000 gas stations but only 6,000 charging stations.

On a radio show Thursday, Buttigieg roiled the audience by suggesting that switching to electric cars — rather than producing more energy — is the answer. Meanwhile gas prices are predicted to rise to as much as $6 a gallon this fall, per an internal US Treasury analysis, and even higher in JP Morgan’s worst-case scenario.

EVs are not the answer. Buttigieg is living in la-la land. The average new EV costs about $66,000. One of the best deals, according to US News and World Report, is the 2022 Kia EV6, priced at $40,900 before add-ons. Even that’s more than most people can afford. Three-quarters of Americans who need a car buy a used one, paying around $27,000 for it. (Read more from “Buttigieg, Dems’ Likely Presidential Contender, Wants to Take Away Your Cars” HERE)
