[Townhall] The vindication for President Donald Trump on a number of fronts is just beginning. The malign actors know it and they are angry with rage at the prospect of what it means.
Losing control of the people’s House last month was bad enough. Now they have this "Twitter thing" that is not within their authoritarian control. They don’t have the free hand to tip the scale in their favor. They don’t have the ability to gaslight the nation with dishonest narrative about their political enemies.
They see glimpses of the future if things proceed as they currently are—and they are very afraid.
They should be.
As the team that Elon Musk has assembled at Twitter continues to deep dive into the mega-platform’s well kept secrets of recent years he is exposing what the majority of Americans sensed. He is producing evidence (much of which has been neatly buried within the Twitter eco-system) conversations, strategies, and proof that Big Tech—at least as was operated by Twitter put its finger on the scale in 2020.
This weekend as Musk asserted as true some of the revelations put forward by a journalist who is looking into the specifics the left side of the American commentariat lost their collective minds.
Passionately they exploded collectively as even some tiny pieces began revealing how Twitter worked diligently to assist Joe Biden’s laughable presidential ambitions.
As Twitter’s new CEO took to his own platform and with tremendous transparency admitted the attempt at collusion with Democratic hacks—openly stating that Twitter attempted to interfere in the election—faces of Democrats went pale.

He should be elected Speaker of the House. That would really get the Games started.

I love what Musk is doing with Twitter but don't make the mistake of thinking he's been entirely red-pilled. He was taking gov subsidies with both hands not long ago.
Titania McGrath is a parody Twitter account created and run by comedian and Spiked columnist Andrew Doyle.
[TheCritic] It is no exaggeration to say that Elon Musk’s annexation of Twitter is the most terrifying development in recent history. Only a fascist would seek to impose free speech on humanity.
This is why there has been such a chorus of execration from left-wing commentators, celebrities and influencers. On the day that Musk seized control of Twitter, Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz noted that it was “like the gates of hell opened on this site tonight”. Charlie Warzel in The Atlantic wrote that there was “an apocalyptic feel to the ordeal”.
But it was the Independent that really grasped the full gravity of this moment. Its headline read — “RIP Twitter, 2006-2022: Dead at the Hands of Elon Musk”. It is a testament to the cool-headed stoicism of left-wing journalists that they have managed not to overreact.
I also am trying my best to keep matters in perspective, but Musk’s takeover of Twitter is far worse than anything Hitler ever did. I do not approve of mass genocide, but it pales in comparison to providing a social media platform where Eddie Izzard might be misgendered.

Continuing TW's clarification - Doyle describes her as "a militant vegan who thinks she is a better poet than William Shakespeare". As of March 2021, the character has more than 600,000 followers.
Of which, 599,000 'followers' are leftists who think she is a real "influencer". But I think Doyle is Bee-worthy.

[FOX] Elon Musk said Saturday evening that there is "definitely some risk" to his personal safety during an extensive discussion about free speech, changes he has made to Twitter, and the release of internal communications from the fall of 2020 about what led the tech giant to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story.
"Frankly the risk of something bad happening or literally even being shot is quite significant. I'm definitely not going to be doing any open air car parades, let me put it that way," Musk said in a Twitter Spaces discussion.
"It's not that hard to kill me if somebody wanted to, so hopefully they don't."

[YouTube] The 2022 phase of the war in Ukraine began in the closing weeks of winter, with a February offensive rapidly coming to face the onset of mud and thawing conditions.
Now, in December, Ukraine prepares for a full winter of full-scale, conventional conflict.
Winter conditions are extremely demanding, both on manpower and materiel, and in this episode we look a little closer at what is involved in operating in cold weather conditions, how cold Ukraine gets, and how prepared both sides seem to be for the onset of their winter war.

[Babylon Bee] U.S. — Democrats have dedicated themselves to finding a new social media platform that will agree to censor damaging stories coming about how they used other social media platforms to censor damaging stories.
"We really can't let news about us censoring citizens get out there uncensored," said Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer. "The blowback would be severe and would require escalating to Defcon 3 censorship. I'm told that's pretty bad."
After documents from inside Twitter revealed censorship of private citizens at the direction of politicians, Democrats have responded by calling for social media to censor even harder. "It's pretty clear at this point that the First Amendment was a terrible idea," said Senator Elizabeth Warren. "If you let average citizens speak, why they might embarrass me repeatedly by attaching fact-checks to all of my wildly erroneous statements on Twitter. It's getting super annoying."
While Democrats' directing of banning speech has been widely derided, censorship aficionado David French has defended their actions. "Honestly, I can't get enough of Joe Biden squashing free speech," said Mr. French gleefully. "I'll make literally whatever excuse I can think of to get more. I will argue with a straight face that right before the election, Joe Biden was simply a private citizen like you and me who never, ever spoke to sitting a member of Congress! Therefore, his demands for speech censorship have no First Amendment implications since Joe Biden had absolutely zero connections to the government before becoming President. I know that may sound insane, and that Democratic Representatives are even on record saying it's a First Amendment issue - but gosh darn it, I CAN'T GET ENOUGH CENSORSHIP!!"
At publishing time, Elon Musk had vowed to simply buy whatever platform the Democrats tried to move to next.
[Hill] Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Sunday said former President Trump has an "evil charisma" that shouldn’t be underestimated as he once again vies again for the GOP’s presidential nomination.
"Democrats and sane Republicans underestimate Trump at their own peril because in order for Trump not to win the nomination, there has to be a better alternative. That’s how primaries work, right?" Psaki said at the roundtable for NBC’s "Meet the Press."
"So the question is, who’s the alternative? Trump has some evil charisma that helps him win the nomination. The nomination process is long. What is going to happen here? And my view is people should not underestimate him," she added.
Discussing Trump’s possible competitors for the GOP nomination, Psaki said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) was "either the savior, or he’s currently at his peak" and said former Vice President Mike Pence "didn’t exactly light the world on fire politically before he was selected by Donald Trump to be his running mate."
Trump announced his 2024 bid just a week after November’s midterms saw a number of his favored candidates lose out to Democrats in key races, contributing to disappointing results for Republicans overall.
The former president is now working to rally support for his third presidential run as some in the party move to distance themselves from him and his campaign.
[Gateway] Prominent criminal and conspiracy theorist Hillary Clinton emerged from hiding on Thursday to spout some of her vilest remarks yet. In a softball discussion with radical PBS journalist Christiane Amanpour, Clinton proclaimed that pro-life Americans were no different than the Iranian regime, the Taliban, and Russian soldiers on women’s rights.
Amanpour began her so-called interview with Clinton by asking for her thoughts on the "unfinished business" on women’s rights:
"I just wonder when you hear it again and see what’s happening to women around the world. What do you think as you say, "unfinished business?"

A large part of our political problem is that while the Democrats are as evil as they can be, the 'pubs try and be the polite nice guys of the fancy men's clubs.
That's why Trump is so hated by the 'pubs, he plays by the lefts rules not the faculty lounge types.
