Elon Musk Tells Joe Rogan That Twitter ‘Suppressed’ Republicans ‘At 10 Times the Rate of Democrats’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tech mogul Elon Musk said Twitter “suppressed” Republicans at a significantly higher rate than Democrats during an interview with podcast host Joe Rogan.

Musk purchased Twitter, which he later renamed X, for $44 billion in October 2022 with the intent of reinstating free speech on the platform and publicly criticized the suppression of the New York Post’s story on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Conservatives widely praised Musk’s takeover after a series of suspensions and bans of right-leaning figures.

“The degree to which Twitter was simply an arm of the government was not well understood by the public,” Musk said. “And it was whatever, everything was like Pravda basically, a state publication, is the way to think of old Twitter. A state publication.”

“There was basically oppression of any views that, even I would say, be considered middle-of-the-road. But certainly, anything on the right, and I’m not talking about far-right, I’m just talking mildly right. Republicans were suppressed at 10 times the rate of Democrats. That’s because old Twitter was fundamentally controlled by the far-left. It was, like, completely controlled by the far-left.” (Read more from “Elon Musk Tells Joe Rogan That Twitter ‘Suppressed’ Republicans ‘At 10 Times the Rate of Democrats’” HERE)

Elderly Who Got COVID and Flu Shots in Same Visit May Have Higher Stroke Risk, FDA-Funded Study Suggests

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elderly people may have an increased risk of stroke caused by blood clots in the brains if they receive both the COVID booster and a flu shot in the same visit, a new study suggests.

Older adults who received both shots in the same visit last year had a 20-35% increased stroke risk, according to the study, which was funded by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The results showed about three strokes for every 100,000 doses given.

The study suggested the increased stroke risk may be primarily driven by the flu shots rather than the COVID vaccines. Nevertheless, the results have sparked concerns.

The study examined the Medicare claims of more than 5.3 million adults age 65 and older who received a bivalent Pfizer or Moderna COVID vaccine. (Read more from “Elderly Who Got COVID and Flu Shots in Same Visit May Have Higher Stroke Risk, FDA-Funded Study Suggests” HERE)

New House Speaker Mike Johnson Lays Out Plans to Impeach Biden

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA.) suggests that one of his first business orders is to advance efforts to impeach President Joe Biden.

During an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Johnson said that removing Biden from office is a real possibility due to the president’s ties to his family’s corrupt money-funneling scheme.

Johnson said that the Republican Party is the rule-of-law party and will follow the truth where it leads and engage in due process.

“We have the receipts on so much of this now,” Johnson explained, suggesting that Biden was involved in his family’s foreign business dealings. “It’s a real problem.”

“That’s the reason that we shifted into the impeachment inquiry stage on the president himself because if, in fact, all the evidence leads to where we believe it will, that’s very likely impeachable offenses,” he added. “That’s listed as a cause for impeachment in the Constitution — bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors.” (Read more from “New House Speaker Mike Johnson Lays Out Plans to Impeach Biden” HERE)

Trump Jr.: This 2024 Presidential Candidate Is a ‘Democrat Plant’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. . .According to NBC News, Donald Trump Jr., son of former President Donald Trump, told supporters in Iowa on Thursday that the independent presidential campaign of longtime Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears calculated to undermine the Trump cause.

“It legitimately always felt like it was a Democrat plant to hurt the Trump thing,” Trump Jr. said. “He wouldn’t be there if the Democrats didn’t want him.” . . .

Meanwhile, according to The Hill, another Republican challenger has depicted Kennedy as a legitimate threat to Trump.

“RFK Jr. will be a vessel for anti-lockdown and anti-Fauci voters if Trump is the nominee,” Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida said in New Hampshire earlier this month. (Read more from “Trump Jr.: This 2024 Presidential Candidate Is a ‘Democrat Plant'” HERE)

Trump Jr. Calls RFK Jr. A ‘Democrat Plant’

By The Hill. The Democratic establishment essentially ignored Kennedy’s long-shot primary bid against President Biden. Now, early polls show Kennedy may actually pull more voters from Trump than Biden in a three-man race, turning a former primary opponent into a boon for the incumbent.

Kennedy centered his campaign on a rejection of the two-party system, distrust in government and skepticism of COVID-19, including the COVID vaccine.

Those positions could appeal to voters who otherwise would vote for Trump, political analysts have argued. . .

But Trump Jr. disagrees, pointing to Kennedy’s more liberal stances on immigration and gun control, among other issues.

“He should be much more of a threat to Joe Biden than to us,” Trump Jr. said Thursday. “Once you actually look at his voting record, you’re like, no, he’s just a liberal that is anti-vax. … Being anti-vax, I don’t think that’s enough.” (Read more from “Trump Jr. Calls RFK Jr. A ‘Democrat Plant’” HERE)

Is Turkey Joining War Against Israel? (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Turkey’s Islamist President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is blasting Israel as a “war criminal to the world” that is committing an “open and despicable massacre” against Gazans, in a fiery, pro-Hamas speech at a massive rally in Istanbul organized by his AKP Party.

Erdogan, a longtime defender of Hamas who rejects the Western powers’ classification of Hamas as a terrorist organization, has ramped up his rhetoric against the Jewish state following Israel’s declaration of war and retaliatory campaign against Hamas terrorists, who reportedly killed 1,400 Israelis – including many civilians – in a surprise attack Oct. 7.

Earlier last week, Erdogan called Hamas “freedom fighters” and cancelled a planned trip to Israel.

At the pro-Palestinian rally in Istanbul attended by hundreds of thousands, Erdogan questioned Israel’s historic claim to their Middle East homeland: “Hey Israel, how did you come here? How did you enter here?” he asked rhetorically to the flag-waving throng. “You are an occupier. You are an organization. The Turkish people know this,” he said. “Israel, we will declare you as a war criminal to the world.”

Jack Smith Quietly Withdraws From a Trump Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Special Counsel Jack Smith has quietly withdrawn a subpoena seeking records from former President Trump’s 2020 campaign as their investigation of whether his campaign committed any crimes continues.

This week, more than a year into their investigation, Smith’s office dropped the subpoena request from Trump’s campaign following the withdrawal of a similar subpoena to Save America, the PAC formed by Trump’s aides. . .

More from Trending Politics:

The rescinding of the subpoenas to Donald J. Trump for President Inc. and Save America indicated that Smith’s office was slowing or even ending its months-long investigation into whether Trump’s political operation violated any laws by using election fraud claims to raise funds. The retraction of the subpoena for Save America was first reported by The Washington Post last week. Smith’s team has been attempting to find out, for more than a year, whether Trump and his advisers violated federal wire fraud statutes in their fund-raising, following a path initially followed by the House select committee investigating the events of January 6, 2021.

Jean-Pierre Refuses to Call Anti-Israel Protestors ‘Extremists’ Despite Fear Among Jewish Students (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday refused to call anti-Israel protestors on college campuses across America “extremists,” despite antisemitic rhetoric, violence, and rising fear among Jewish students.

The exchange took place during the White House press briefing when Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre over whether President Biden saw those protestors as “extremists.”

“What I can say is — what we’ve been very clear about this when it comes to antisemitism, there is no place. We have to make sure that we speak against it very loud and be very clear about that,” Jean-Pierre said, adding that Biden decided to run for president in 2017 as a result of the violent Charlottesville, Virginia protest clash that year.

“He saw neo-Nazis marching down the streets of Charlottesville with vile, anti-Semitic, just hatred. And he was very clear then, and he’s very clear now. He’s taken actions against this over the past two years. And he’s continued to be clear: There is no place, no place for this type of vile — and this kind of rhetoric,” she said. . .

“I have been very, very clear. We are calling out any form of hate, any form of hate. It is not acceptable. It should not be acceptable here. And we are going to continue to call that out,” she said, again refusing to say whether the protestors were “extremists.” (Read more from “Jean-Pierre Refuses to Call Anti-Israel Protestors ‘Extremists’ Despite Fear Among Jewish Students (VIDEO)” HERE)

Israel Pushes Deeper Into Gaza Ahead of Full-Scale Ground Invasion as Tanks Are Seen Deployed Along Northern Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israeli troops and tanks pushed deeper into northern Gaza Monday ahead of an expected full-scale ground invasion to destroy Hamas and rescue hostages — as one captured Israel Defense Forces (IDF) solider was saved during an overnight mission.

Video released Monday shows Israeli tanks being deployed past the northern border, moving among buildings as soldiers enter homes in Gaza.

Tanks also blocked a key road linking northern Gaza to the south, the Times of Israel reported.

The major ground advance puts Israel in “a position where they can observe and control what is coming in and out of Gaza City,” Michael Knights, a military analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told the Wall Street Journal.

“Now they have the ability to let people out — ideally what they will be doing with civilians — while also preventing Hamas from resupplying it,” he added. (Read more from “Israel Pushes Deeper Into Gaza Ahead of Full-Scale Ground Invasion as Tanks Are Seen Deployed Along Northern Border” HERE)

City Now Provides One-Way Airplane Tickets to Illegal Aliens to Anywhere They Want to Go in the World

/0 Comments/in , , /by

New York City has started providing illegal immigrants with one-way airplane tickets to anywhere in an attempt to deal with the Big Apple’s migrant crisis.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ spokeswoman Kayla Mamelak told the Washington Examiner on Friday, “With no sign of a decompression strategy in the near future, we have established a reticketing center for migrants. Here, the city will redouble efforts to purchase tickets for migrants to help them take the next steps in their journeys.”

The outlet noted that migrants have already been issued one-way plane tickets, and they are headed to locations including Michigan, Colombia, and Morocco.

Some of the migrants rejected the offer of a one-way flight to anywhere because they wished to stay in NYC to work.

Mayor Adams said, “When you are out of room, that means you’re out of room. Every year, my relatives show up for Thanksgiving, and they want to all sleep at my house. There’s no more room. That’s where we are right now.” (Read more from “City Now Provides One-Way Airplane Tickets to Illegal Aliens to Anywhere They Want to Go in the World” HERE)

Parents Stunned After Restaurant Hits Them With This $50 Surcharge

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Georgia restaurant has found itself at the center of a viral controversy after a couple complained about being hit with a $50 surcharge at the establishment for their children’s alleged “loud” behavior.

A Reddit post showing Toccoa Riverside Restaurant’s posted rules blew up last week, with thousands of commenters stunned at the strict gratuity requirements. . .

This restaurant charges you extra for bad parenting
byu/LPineapplePizzaLover inmildlyinteresting

After dessert, some of the parents took their children down to the water near the restaurant, Landmann recounted. That’s when Toccoa’s owner, Tim Richter, approached their table to allegedly berate the adults for their parenting skills.

“He has the menu in hand and he’s showing us where it talks about the fee,” Landmann recalls. “At first I thought he was gonna compliment us and be like, ‘But you won’t be charged because your kids were so well-behaved.’”

However, Richter informed them of an extra $50 charge and apparently yelled at them. (Read more from “Parents Stunned After Restaurant Hits Them With This $50 Surcharge” HERE)
