Former Facebook CEO Urges Users to ‘Delete the App’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The former chief executive of Facebook’s Australian business urged users to delete the social network’s app in response to Mark Zuckerberg’s “sad” decision to block news from the platform in the country.

Stephen Scheeler, the ex-boss of Facebook Australia and New Zealand, said in an interview that Facebook’s controversial move “looks and feels ugly” and blasted CEO Zuckerberg’s motivations.

“It shouldn’t have happened. But unfortunately it did,” Scheeler told The Australian. “But there’s no good answers … But at Facebook nobody ever loses their jobs.”

“I’m a proud ex-Facebooker, but over the years I get more and more exasperated. For Facebook and Mark it’s too much about the money, and the power, and not about the good,” Scheeler said. “Imagine if a Chinese company for example had done this, we would be up in arms. All Australians should be quite alarmed by this.”

The former CEO, who resigned from the tech giant in 2017, encouraged Australians to send a strong message to the company by deleting the app, while calling for “more regulation” of Facebook. (Read more from “Former Facebook CEO Urges Users to ‘Delete the App’” HERE)

Here’s What Trump Said When Asked if He’s Running for President; Trump Is Being Sued as a Private Citizen for His Alleged Role in the Capitol Riots

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump gave his first interviews since leaving the White House. While the former president discussed the remarkable life of radio legend and conservative icon Rush Limbaugh, Trump also fielded other questions, like if he will be running for president in 2024.

Newsmax’s Geg Kelly tried pinning the one-term president down multiple times on the subject of a possible run.

“Again, look, it’s a no-brainer, right?” Kelly asked. “You’re going to run for president in 2024, right?”

“Well, we have tremendous support. I won’t say yet, but we have tremendous support. And I’m looking at poll numbers and they’re through the roof,” said Trump. . .

Trump left the possibility of a presidential run at “you’ll see what happens.” (Read more from “Here’s What Trump Said When Asked if He’s Running for President” HERE)

Trump Is Being Sued as a Private Citizen for His Alleged Role in the Capitol Riots

By Townhall. After the Senate voted to acquit former President Donald Trump on the article of impeachment for “inciting an insurrection,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he believed a civil lawsuit could be brought against the former president.

“President Trump is still liable for everything he did while he was in office, as an ordinary citizen. Unless the statute of limitations is run, he’s still liable for everything he did while he was in office,” McConnell said on the Senate floor. “He didn’t get away with anything, yet.”

And now House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MD) is taking McConnell’s advice. He filed a lawsuit against Trump, Rudy Giuliani, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers for their alleged roles in the Capitol riots.

According to the lawsuit, the defendants “conspired to incite an assembled crowd to march upon and enter the Capitol of the United States for the common purpose of disrupting, by the use of force, intimidation and threat, the approval by Congress of the count of votes cast by members of the Electoral College as required by Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution.” . . .

“…the Defendants each intended to prevent, and ultimately delayed, members of Congress from discharging their duty commanded by the United States Constitution to approve the results of the Electoral College in order to elect the next President and Vice President of the United States,” the lawsuit states.

Democrats Push Slavery Reparations Bill Despite Strong Public Opposition and High Price Tag

/0 Comments/in , /by

A slavery reparations proposal, which faces overwhelming public opposition and could cost more than $12 trillion, is picking up support in the Democratic-majority House.

Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee on Wednesday held a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing about H.R. 40, “The “Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act.”

The reparations commission would study the history of slavery, the role that federal and state governments played in supporting slavery, and racial discrimination against the descendants of enslaved Africans. The commission would make recommendations regarding “any form of apology” or compensation.

The proposal doesn’t include a price tag, but most estimates suggest it would be well into the trillions of dollars. A 2020 study by William Darity, a professor of public policy at Duke University, and his wife, Kirsten Mullen, “From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century,” noted it would cost between $10 trillion and $12 trillion.

The legislation last came into focus in 2019 when Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced her support for reparations. Since then, the bill picked up support from over 170 members of Congress, including every single Democratic presidential primary candidate who attended the 2019 National Action Network conference, hosted by Al Sharpton.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jeff Bezos has overtaken Elon Musk as the world’s richest person, reclaiming his title and ending Musk’s short-lived reign with the title.

Musk, who surged to the top of the list in January after Tesla’s (TSLA) stock was booming, was knocked back into second place on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index list as of Feb. 16. Musk lost around $4.5 billion as Tesla lost about 2.4% of their shares, CNN Business reported.

In 2020, the 170 million shares of Telsa that Musk previously owned increased in value by $106 billion as stock market shares rose by 743%.

In addition, in Jan. 2021, Musk tweeted out a popular link to a Reddit page, which was generating excitement over GameStop (GME) stocks. Musk appeared to be cheering on Reddit users who were purchasing numerous GameStop stocks over Wall Street brokers.

School Principal Urges Parents to Become ‘White Abolitionists’ With Propaganda Graphic

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New York college prep school sent white parents literary materials asking them to identify their “level” of whiteness, ranging from “white supremacist,” which is depicted in red, to “white abolitionist,” depicted in green.

According to race education watchdog Christopher Rufo, white parents of sixth- through 12th-graders received the “tool for action” from the principal of East Side Community School asking them to work toward becoming white traitors and abolitionists by “subverting white authority” as well as “changing institutions, dismantling whiteness, and not allowing whiteness to reassert itself.” . . .

The curriculum, authored by Barnor Hesse, an associate professor of African American studies, political science, and sociology at Northwestern University, weaponizes language such as “superiority” and “white regime” to challenge people who operate without fully acknowledging the “burden of Blackness.”

“There is a regime of whiteness, and there are action-oriented white identities. People who identify with whiteness are one of these. It’s about time we build an ethnography of whiteness, since white people have been the ones writing about and governing Others,” the list reads.

State Removes 177,000 Voters From Voter Rolls After Legal Challenge

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Michigan secretary of state removed 177,000 inactive voters from the state’s voter rolls after settling a legal challenge.

The state removed the names from the voter rolls in late January because the voters no longer live in the state or did not respond to the state’s inquiries about their addresses, according to a Tuesday district court announcement. The state performed the post-election audit during a legal battle with the Honest Elections Project, an election watchdog.

Jason Snead, head of the Honest Elections Project, which supported the lawsuit, said the state’s decision to remove the voters will help combat any allegations of voter fraud. “The last thing that we want is to create a system in which you could have widespread voter fraud or where it’s impossible to debunk false allegations of widespread voter fraud because you are undermining or failing to act on the necessary measures that help to prevent fraud and bolster confidence in the democratic process,” he said.

This Isn’t Satire: Liberal Media Fawn Over Biden’s Bedtime, Fireplace and Video Game-Playing

/0 Comments/in , /by

The establishment media is fawning over President Joe Biden’s early bedtimes, his use of the Oval office fireplace and even his video game-playing habits as we’ve entered into a new era in media coverage of the White House. . .

Of course, we knew to a degree with would happen. The activist media told us as much. But so far, some of the recent reports feel like satire.

Rather than focus on those who could lose potentially everything through Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline with the stroke of a pen, or his community-straining executive orders on immigration, CNN on Monday wrote a story about how Biden sometimes like to put a log on the fire in the White House fireplace before calling a lid and going to sleep.

Biden Dismisses Uighur Genocide as Part of China’s ‘Different Norms’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden is dismissing the genocide against the Uighur population in China, dubbing the mass internment a “different norm” — despite the State Department this month responding to “atrocities” in the camps, following reports of systemic rape and torture.

The commander-in-chief made the remarks after being asked during his CNN town hall Tuesday evening about his recent conversation with his Chinese counterpart, starting his response by relaying Xi’s justification for the abuses.

“If you know anything about Chinese history, it has always been, the time when China has been victimized by the outer world is when they haven’t been unified at home,” Biden began. “So the central — well, vastly overstated — the central principle of Xi Jinping is that there must be a united, tightly controlled China. And he uses his rationale for the things he does based on that.” . . .

“I point out to him no American president can be sustained as a president, if he doesn’t reflect the values of the United States,” the US president continued. “And so the idea is that I am not going to speak out against what he’s doing in Hong Kong, what he’s doing with the Uighurs in western mountains of China and Taiwan — trying to end the one China policy by making it forceful … [Xi] gets it.”

“Culturally there are different norms that each country and their leaders are expected to follow,” he continued. (Read more from “Biden Dismisses Uighur Genocide as Part of China’s ‘Different Norms’” HERE)

President Harris? Kamala Taking Calls With Foreign Leaders in Place of Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Weeks into office, Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly taking calls with foreign leaders on behalf of President Joe Biden.

On Monday, Harris held her second call with a foreign world leader when she spoke to French President Emmanuel Macron, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

Earlier this month, the Veep had a telephone call with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and spoke to the World Health Organization Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in January.

As noted by the Post, Harris’ predecessor Vice President Mike Pence “occasionally spoke directly by phone with foreign leaders, but that role generally was performed by former President Donald Trump, especially last year.”

“A review of press notices from Pence’s final year in office reveals no readouts of direct calls with the leaders of foreign nations,” the Post added.

Disgusting Hollywood Celebrities Celebrate Rush Limbaugh Death

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Left-wing Hollywood celebrities wasted little time in popping the champagne following news of Rush Limbaugh’s death. As Breitbart News reported, the 70-year-old conservative radio legend died Wednesday morning following a battle with advanced lung cancer, his wife, Kathryn Limbaugh, announced at the beginning of Wednesday’s radio program.

Ignoring any sense of taste or decorum, the stars piled on with nasty insults, including actress Amber Tamblyn, who wished Rush Limbaugh to “RIP” — “Rot In Purgatory,” and her husband, actor David Cross, who declared that “cancer killed the cancer.”

Other Hollywood elies who celebrated Limbaugh’s death include John Cusack, Marc Maron, Larry Charles, and Star Trek veteran George Takei.

David Cross and Amber Tamblyn led the Hollywood hate parade with matching his-and-her insults aimed at the late radio host.
