Elon Musk Reveals How He Is Defining ‘Hate Speech’ on Twitter

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter CEO Elon Musk said Thursday that he is defining hate speech on the platform based on the definitions that the platform used prior to Musk taking over.

Musk made the revelation in a tweet about how the company has cracked down on hate speech on the platform amid pressure from advertisers and left-wing activists.

“Hate speech impressions down by 1/3 from pre-spike levels,” Musk tweeted. “Congrats to Twitter team!”

“I have half a mind to wag my finger at the 1500 accounts that caused the spike, but I shall forebear,” Musk continued. “Reducing the max allowed tweets/day to a number below what a speed typist on meth could do was helpful.”

Musk then responded to a question from DailyWire+ host Jordan Peterson about how he defines hate speech.

Joe Biden Asks Reporters if They Think He Needs a Physical Exam

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden poked fun at reporters on Thursday for asking questions about a forthcoming physical exam of his health.

“Do you think I need it?” the 80-year-old president asked wryly.

The president spoke about his physical after meeting with firefighters during his lengthy Thanksgiving vacation on the island of Nantucket.

He revealed that he had already completed part of his physical exam and would get the rest of it done before the end of the year.

Last year, the president’s physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor explained Biden’s frequent coughing and his “perceptibly stiffer and less fluid walk” after conducting a full physical. (Read more from “Joe Biden Asks Reporters if They Think He Needs a Physical Exam” HERE)

Growing Trend of Trans Patients Seeking Both Male, Female Genitals Highlighted in Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new report highlights a growing trend of trans-identified and nonbinary individuals undergoing surgeries to have both male and female genitalia. One conservative scholar says the trend makes the gender identity debate even more of a “puzzler.”

The report, published by VICE last Monday, contains interviews with multiple people who call themselves “Salmacians,” a term for those seeking bigenital anatomy.

The phrase is derived from the Greek myth of Salmacis and Hermaphroditus, and the number of online trans communities using the term has grown.

In the myth, Salmacis merged with her lover, Hermaphroditus, to become an androgynous being after asking the gods to unite the pair. Science fiction writer Raphael Carter coined the phrase “Salmacians” in the 1990s to describe people who desire to have mixed genitalia, according to Vice.

While people who trans identify typically undergo surgery or take drugs to resemble the opposite gender, the article details the process of “nonbinary bottom surgeries” for people looking to achieve bigenital anatomy.

Colorado Club Shooting Suspect Is Nonbinary, According to Attorneys

/0 Comments/in , /by

The alleged shooter who authorities say killed five people and injured 18 others at a Colorado Springs, Colo., LGBTQ nightclub is nonbinary, according to filings from their defense team.

Public defenders referred to the suspect, 22-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich, as “Mx. Aldrich” in motions filed on their behalf and stated in footnotes that Aldrich is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.

The motions pertain to the unsealing of documents and evidence gathering and did not expand on Aldrich’s gender identity.

Officials have said Aldrich, who has not been formally charged yet, has been preliminarily charged with five counts of murder and five counts of a bias-motivated crime, but the charges are not final.

The nightclub where the attack occurred, Club Q, is locally known to be a haven for the LGBTQ community in the mostly conservative city of Colorado Springs. (Read more from “Colorado Club Shooting Suspect Is Nonbinary, Attorneys Say” HERE)

U.S. Military Is Creating Fake Facebook and Instagram Accounts to Try and Trick People, Meta Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

The US military has been creating fake accounts on Facebook and Instagram in an attempt to trick people, parent company Meta has said.

Security experts at Meta found “several clusters” of fake accounts on the platform, which posed as apparently legitimate accounts.

The accounts were present not only on Meta’s own platforms but across a range of other networks, including Twitter, YouTube and Telegram, it said.

They were used to push pro-Western narratives across the world, over a series of years, according to an investigation into the campaign.

“Although the people behind this operation attempted to conceal their identities and coordination, our investigation found links to individuals associated with the US military,” Meta said in its latest ‘Adversarial Threat Report’, which details the efforts of its security teams to stop such deceptive campaigns.

Tucker Carlson Slams Pete Buttigieg, Who Joined the Military During ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,’ for ‘Lying’ About Being Gay

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News’s top-rated opinion host, Tucker Carlson, ripped into Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Wednesday night and claimed that Buttigieg “hid” and “lied” about his sexual orientation “for reasons he has never been asked to explain.”

Buttigieg very publicly came out as gay while serving as mayor of South Bend, Indiana in 2015, writing an article in his local newspaper. Buttigieg who joined the military in 2009, later wrote about the toll “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” took on him while serving in the reserves as the policy, which ended in 2011, barred military personnel from being openly gay. . .

“Pete Buttigieg, of course, couldn’t pass up a moment like this. It’s not like Pete Buttigieg wants to talk about how things are going over at the Transportation Department, which he supposedly runs. Short answer not well,” Carlson said, adding:

No, Pete Buttigieg wants to talk about identity. He always wants to talk about identity. And the funny, ironic thing is and the tell just a few years ago, Buttigieg wouldn’t even admit that he was gay. He hid that and then lied about it for reasons he has never been asked to explain. Why not?

But whatever. Now he is happy to use his sexual orientation as a cudgel to bash you repeatedly in the face into submission. Quote, here’s his latest, ‘If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared, not because any of us who ever harmed you, but because you find it useful that don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows.’

Schumer Dragged After Pushing Citizenship for Illegal Aliens as U.S. Birth Rate Drops

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Wednesday, conservative Twitter users berated Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for claiming that the solution to America’s declining birth rate was to grant a path to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants that are currently in the country.

Many reminded Schumer of the irony that he and the Democratic Party support abortion yet are complaining about low birth rates and looking to absolve illegal border-crossers to solve that problem.

Speaking to the press outside the U.S. Capitol grounds, Schumer declared, “Now more than ever, we’re short of workers, we have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to.”

He added, “The only way we’re going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the DREAMers and – all of them. Cause our ultimate goal is to help the DREAMers but get a path to citizenship for all 11 million, or however many undocumented immigrants.”

Conservatives on social media expressed shocked that Schumer seriously made that argument.

White House Guide to Lying to Your Family About Politics at Thanksgiving; Biden Admin Releases Thanksgiving Dinner Talking Points

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. The White House on Wednesday distributed leftist talking points for predictably insufferable supporters of President Joe Biden to use for attacking Republicans during Thanksgiving family gatherings. . .

The list tries to argue that Biden is actually “tackling inflation,” even though the cost of a Thanksgiving meal is up by 20 percent from last year.

It also tries to denounce Republicans in Congress as “EXTREME” because of their position on protecting unborn children.

The White House document also falsely claims that Republicans want to “put Medicare and Social Security on the chopping block” and “raise costs” on Americans by repealing Biden’s multi-billion dollar climate spending agenda.

White House Releases Thanksgiving Dinner Talking Points

By Washington Examiner. The White House is seeking to tout its agenda accomplishments from the past year by releasing a list of “talking points” people can use to discuss politics during Thanksgiving dinner.

“One last item for your Thanksgiving dinner: some talking points when ‘that Uncle’ comes ‘at you’ about [President Joe Biden],” White House chief of staff Ron Klain tweeted.

The list of talking points includes a slew of policy and legislative wins by the Biden administration and Democratic lawmakers, including measures on infrastructure and lower prescription costs that were signed by the president earlier this year. The list also touts the White House’s efforts to tackle inflation, noting gas prices are down $1.35 per gallon since June and that inflation has petered out over the last few months.

National average gas prices sit at $3.61 per gallon as of Wednesday, down from the $5.01 average recorded on June 14 — the highest average price recorded by AAA. Meanwhile, inflation rates came in lower than expected for the month of October as consumer prices rose 7.7%, down from the 8.2% recorded the month before, according to the consumer price index.

Known Troublemaker: ‘Hostile’ Walmart Shooter Feuded With Co-workers, Said ‘Disturbing’ Things

/0 Comments/in , /by

The gunman named in the Walmart shooting in Virginia that killed six was “disturbing,” known to feud with co-workers and had a “hostile” attitude.

Andre Bing, the store’s overnight team lead, was someone whom new hires avoided, according to Briana Taylor, who started working for the Chesapeake store about two months ago and miraculously survived Tuesday night’s bloodshed.

“He was the manager to look out for because there was always something going on with him, just having an issue with someone,” Tyler told ABC News. . .

Donya Prioleau, who was in the break room when Bing entered and opened fire, claimed he “said a lot of disturbing things.” . . .

Prioleau also described Bing as “condescending” and lacking “good communication skills,” and said he was “quite mean to a lot of us.” (Read more from “Known Troublemaker: ‘Hostile’ Walmart Shooter Feuded With Co-workers, Said ‘Disturbing’ Things” HERE)

The ‘Respect for Marriage Act’ Is an Exercise in Tyranny, and Everyone Knows It

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It’s not hard to game out what happens if the misnamed Respect for Marriage Act passes, codifying Obergefell and enshrining gay marriage in federal law. Everyone, including the dozen Republican senators who voted to advance the legislation last week, knows exactly what will happen. It’s not some big mystery.

What will happen is this: Christians, Jews, Muslims, and anyone else who dares maintain that marriage is a lifelong conjugal union between one man and one woman — the definition of marriage for thousands of years until the U.S. Supreme Court descended from Mount Sinai with Obergefell v. Hodges inscribed on stone tablets — will be branded a bigot and driven from the public square and marketplace.

Anyone who owns a small business related to the wedding industry — photographers, bakers, website designers, venue owners, caterers, florists — will be sued into oblivion if they refuse services to same-sex couples. Religious colleges and universities will lose their tax-exempt status. Religious institutions of every kind, if they hold to their teachings and traditions about marriage, will face an onslaught from the Department of Justice and the federal bureaucracy. . .

The untrammeled exercise of power and the vigorous crushing of dissent is the entire purpose of the proposed law. There can be no other possible justification for it. Michael New, an assistant professor at the Busch School of Business at The Catholic University of America, recently told The Daily Signal that Catholic colleges and universities in particular might face ruinous lawsuits and loss of federal funding if the bill is signed into law.

“Suppose a Catholic college refused to allow a same-sex married couple to live in college owned graduate student housing for families, they might be subject to all kinds of litigation,” he said. “Such a college might lose its nonprofit status. Their students might lose eligibility for federal financial aid and their faculty might lose eligibility from research grants from government agencies.” (Read more from “The ‘Respect for Marriage Act’ Is an Exercise in Tyranny, and Everyone Knows It” HERE)
