Elon Musk Tweeted a Meme About CNN…then They Melted Down

Elon Musk received an official response from CNN on Monday after posting a meme pocking fun at the channel’s hyperventilating coverage of his ownership of Twitter.

The meme was a clearly photoshopped picture of a “report” that read, “CNN: Elon Musk could threaten free speech on Twitter by literally allowing people to speak freely.” The picture featured a screen capture of anchor Don Lemon.

CNN’s official public relation account responded to Musk’s tweet with, “This headline never appeared on CNN. Be better.”

Musk simply replied to CNN with “Lmaoooo” as it is obvious the picture was not from a real CNN segment. (Read more from “Elon Musk Tweeted a Meme About CNN…then They Melted Down” HERE)

Trans Ideologues Who Cheer Cutting off Healthy Genitals Shouldn’t Set Federal Medical Standards

Imagine the Environmental Protection Agency decides that, instead of setting air pollution standards, it will outsource oversight to an industry group called the “Emission Standards Coalition,” which, despite its innocuous name, is funded and staffed entirely by coal companies. Or, closer to home, imagine that city councilmembers in your quiet suburb decide that henceforth all speed limits will be set by the local auto racing club.

We all would promptly object, haranguing the government for abdicating its most basic responsibility to citizens. “Foxes shouldn’t guard henhouses,” we’d say. Rules meant for public health and safety shouldn’t become tools to advance special interests and profit seekers. Lifting pollution and speed limits may benefit factory and Ferrari owners, but the public at large will have to cope with the resulting damage.

Farfetched as these examples might seem, something like this is happening in health care. Along the new frontier of “transgender health,” novel and even destructive “standards of care” are being set by ideologues and billionaire-backed foundations — all with the government’s blessing.

Earlier this year, President Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published a proposed rule under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act. Behind its 190-plus pages and innocent-sounding name (“Nondiscrimination in Health Programs and Activities”) hides a radical agenda that would reshape the nation’s health care in alarming ways.

HHS is proposing new national standards for what it calls “gender affirming care,” mandating that doctors provide these services and insurance plans cover them. What is “gender affirming care” exactly? HHS never really says. Its proposed rule neither defines the term nor identifies objective standards — such as age limits — that might apply. Instead, HHS incorporates guidance from medical societies and a group calling itself the “World Professional Association for Transgender Health,” or WPATH.

Musk Releasing Files on How Twitter Suppressed Free Speech

Twitter CEO Elon Musk said Monday that he will soon be releasing files on how the social media platform has engaged in suppressing free speech.

“The Twitter Files on free speech suppression soon to be published on Twitter itself,” Musk tweeted. “The public deserves to know what really happened.”

Musk responded to a user earlier this month who tweeted, “Raise your hand if you think @ElonMusk should make public all internal discussions about the decision to censor the @NYPost’s story on Hunter Biden’s laptop before the 2020 Election in the interest of Transparency.”

“This is necessary to restore public trust,” Musk replied. (Read more from “Musk Releasing Files on How Twitter Suppressed Free Speech” HERE)

Lawsuit Could Force the FDA to Rescind Approval of Abortion Pills That Endanger Mom and Baby Alike

Thanks to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, pro-life protections in states around the country have led dozens of abortion facilities to close their doors. But the pro-abortion industry is working overtime to fill the gap with another version of the deadly atrocity: the abortion pill.

Even though the abortion pill delivers a painful death to unborn babies and also poses significant risks to mothers, it’s still approved by U.S. health officials. But that needs to change, argues a new lawsuit.

Four pro-life medical organizations and four doctors filed a lawsuit in a Texas federal court last week against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Department of Health and Human Services to reverse the approval of the abortion pill called mifepristone, which currently allows mothers to kill their unborn child up through the 10th week of pregnancy. They are represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, which also played a key role in the Dobbs case.

“[T]he FDA failed America’s women and girls when it chose politics over science and approved chemical abortion drugs for use in the United States,” the complaint states. “And it has continued to fail them by repeatedly removing even the most basic precautionary requirements associated with their use.”

As The Wall Street Journal summarized, the lawsuit argues that “the FDA exceeded its authority to approve the drug because the agency used a process meant for treatments of serious or life-threatening illnesses, and there wasn’t scientific evidence to support the approval and other decisions.” (Read more from “Lawsuit Could Force the FDA to Rescind Approval of Abortion Pills That Endanger Mom and Baby Alike” HERE)

Maricopa County Responds to AG’s Letter on Election Problems, Claim Not a Single Voter Disenfranchised

Thomas Liddy, Maricopa County’s chief civil division attorney, responded Sunday to a letter from Arizona’s outgoing Attorney General Mark Brnovich ordering county officials to submit a report on its handling of the 2022 election.

Maricopa County, one of the most populous counties in the nation, had notable problems during the November 8 election, including printer and tabulation machine-related issues in at least 70 of the county’s 223 polling locations.

Liddy conceded in the letter that the county had issues on Election Day, but claimed not a single voter was disenfranchised, writing that “every lawful voter was still able to cast his or her ballot.”

“No voter was disenfranchised because of the difficulty the County experienced with some of its printers,” Liddy claimed. “Every voter was provided a ballot by which he or she could record their votes, and all such ballots cast by lawful voters were tabulated, whether in the vote center or at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center.”

Supreme Court Justice Under Fire for Christian Beliefs on LGBT Case

Justice Amy Coney Barrett was urged to recuse herself from an upcoming Supreme Court case on free speech and LGBT issues by former members of a niche Christian group she is affiliated with, arguing the faith organization has discriminatory policies against same-sex marriage.

Former members of the People of Praise organization recently told the Guardian that the justice’s “lifelong and continued” membership in the Christian group means she cannot rule impartially in the case surrounding a Colorado web designer who says her religious beliefs prevent her from creating custom wedding websites that celebrate same-sex marriages. Despite the request from former People of Praise members who call themselves “survivors” of the organization, legal experts say there’s “no basis” for Barrett to recuse herself.

“I think there is not a strong legal argument for her recusal if the basis for the suggestion is the views of the group that they attribute to her,” Jonathan Entin, a constitutional law professor at Case Western University, told the Washington Examiner.

“Supreme Court justices have views and are connected with a lot of organizations, a lot of groups just in general, and that’s not enough,” Entin said, adding it would be “a different situation if that group were a party to the case.” (Read more from “Supreme Court Justice Under Fire for Christian Beliefs on LGBT Case” HERE)

Arizona County Refuses to Certify Election Results, Threatening a GOP House Win

A county in Arizona is refusing to certify the results of its elections following Democratic statewide candidates winning in the state, which could flip a House seat won by a Republican to a Democratic win, according to the Associated Press.

The Board of Supervisors of Cochise County, Arizona, bordering Mexico and the U.S. state of New Mexico in Arizona’s Southeast, voted to not certify the official tally of votes in the general elections of Nov. 8, which saw Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona reelected to a full term and Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs elected the next Governor of Arizona.

A meeting of the board was held on Monday via Zoom, with the only agenda item being a motion to verify the results. In a voice vote, it received zero votes in favor and two votes against, with the Democratic chair not voting, resulting in an acclaimed failure among the three-member board.

Kanye West Claims America Run by ‘300 Zionists’ (VIDEO)

Rapper and entrepreneur Kanye West claimed last week that the U.S. is being run by “300 Zionists,” one of many antisemitic statements that he has continued to make despite criticism and pleas for him to stop.

In a clip that was posted and re-posted by extremists on social media, West is seen to claim: “Somehow our country has been taken over by, you know, maybe about 300 Zionists.” He does not define the term “Zionist.”

Sellin: If Corrupt Tyrants Intend to Govern Illegitimately, Then Stand Up Against the Tyrants

Despite clear maladministration, if not intentional voter suppression and fraud, the Maricopa County, Arizona Board of Supervisors is expected to soon certify the 2022 Election results. This will likely take place this morning.

Corruption in government is a solvable problem, but not without free and fair elections.

So, what do you do when rigged elections won’t let citizens “vote out” a corrupt tyrannical political aristocracy?

One needs to look no further than the Declaration of Independence for an answer, specifically The Preamble:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

We are not equal when a tiny self-centered political elite can determine whose votes will count in elections they have rigged in advance.

What is happening in Arizona today is representative of what is occurring across the country.

Americans, who support a constitutional republic, must acknowledge that the United States is a one-party, semi-authoritarian state ruled by a Globalist Uniparty composed of the Democrat Party, the Republican establishment, a permanent unaccountable oppressive bureaucracy, all supported by international anti-American financiers and an obsequious media.

There is now a sharp division between the bipartisan ruling class and the American people, who are considered retrograde and dysfunctional unless properly controlled by the unquestioned dictates of central authority.

We have elections, but we do not have representative government.

Most members of Congress, seek office, not to uphold the Constitution and serve the American people, but to obtain power, and to use that power to accrue professional and financial benefits for themselves and their wealthy donors.

The Republican establishment component of the Globalist Uniparty has gradually solidified its choice to no longer represent what had been its constituency, but to adopt the identity of junior partners in the ruling class.

All the traditional means for the American people to seek the redress of grievances have now been blocked by a self-absorbed permanent political aristocracy.

Americans are suffering the unsufferable, being subjected to a long train of abuses and usurpations, all designed to place us under absolute despotism.

It now becomes necessary for those who believe in a constitutional republic to dissolve the political bands with the tyrannical Globalist Uniparty.

It was the Arizona contingent of the Globalist Uniparty, which did nothing to correct the identified flaws in the 2020 election, that controlled that state’s 2022 election.

Americans have all the legal means to prevent those who have attained power illegitimately from exercising that power, by publicly declaring independence and initiating a political insurgency.

Organize massive civil disobedience, demonstrations, sick-outs, strikes, lawsuits and otherwise legally over-load the system to bring non-essential state services to a standstill.

Create parallel political and economic systems.

If allowed to rule, the Democrats, who now control the main levers of state power, will amplify all the destructive and oppressive policies of the Biden regime.

Rigged elections only succeed when we allow it.

Arizona is the hill to die on. If not there, then where? If not now, then when?
