A powerful official of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) lamented an alleged decline in censorship coordination between government officials and Big Tech, even as a major tech CEO apologized for that censorship.
DSCC Chief Information Security Officer Jude Meche mourned the increasing difficulties of manipulating free speech online due to congressional investigations and lawsuits, reported Reclaim the Net on Tuesday.
Former President Donald Trump once again stokes rumors about Justin Trudeau in his new book by claiming that Fidel Castro could be the Canadian prime minister’s father.
Trump put the rumor in print, weeks after saying in a podcast interview that ‘they say he’s the son of Fidel Castro, and could be.’
Trump has also previously said Trudeau’s mother Margaret slept with all of the Rolling Stones, according to a former aide – a story Mick Jagger referenced in a tour stop in Canada, that Trump also stirs up in his book.
If you want to reach a large audience, you should consider running a commercial during next year’s Super Bowl. Of course, that’ll cost you roughly $7 million for 30 seconds of airtime, so I hope you have deep pockets.
But here’s something you might not have considered: I can get you an audience the exact same size as the Super Bowl for a mere fraction of the cost. Seriously! If the only metric you care about is reaching the greatest number of eyeballs, you can replicate the Super Bowl’s reach for mere pennies on the dollar: Just buy a bunch of ads on the top 50 or so “adult content” sites.
A shocking partisan switch is underway in the stratosphere of the tech titans: The industry known for its wokeness is betting big bucks on a Republican.
Last week, former President Donald Trump gave a thumbs-up to the notion of teaming up with billionaire innovator Elon Musk if he wins in November. Hours later, Musk posted a message on X: “I am willing to serve.”
Elon Musk for commerce secretary? Or perhaps for the newly created position of free speech czar?
Trump is a lot closer than he appears in the mirror.
Since Vice President Kamala Harris was installed at the top of the Democratic presidential ticket, the corporate media have been at pains to portray her modest lead in the national polls as a shift of momentum in the presidential race. Last week, for example, Politico insisted, “Kamala Harris stole Donald Trump’s Republican convention bounce.” If this was meant to reassure nervous Democrats that simply dumping Biden and rebranding Harris is enough to defeat former President Trump, it’s cold comfort indeed. She got through her party’s “joyful” convention with the aid of her trusty teleprompter, but her national and swing state polls are underwhelming.
Not gonna lie. This past month was a tough one for Republicans. Not that Trump or any of us did anything wrong, mind you, but because the media refuses to do its job.
But this might just be the rocket fuel Trump sorely needed
As parties go, this one was glitzy, slick, star-studded and electric.
It was also terrifying.
By the time Kamala Harris took the stage at the DNC on Thursday evening, we had been told by the Obamas, Oprah, the Clintons, Hollywood and Harris herself that there is no one better to be the next American president, because…
After a week of this, I still can’t tell you. After a week of the mainstream media insisting the same, I’m at a loss.
When Oprah Winfrey endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, it was a big deal. Today, the Democratic Party is trying to turn Kamala Harris into Obama 2.0, and naturally, the party thought it was a good idea to un-retire Oprah the billionaire from irrelevancy to give a speech at the Democratic National Convention and gush about the most unpopular vice president in history.
Former President Donald Trump responded on Thursday to reports that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. might end his campaign and endorse the former president.
Kennedy will give a speech Friday where he is expected to end his presidential candidacy, and he also allegedly plans to endorse Trump, according to CNN. Trump said that he would be honored to receive the endorsement, noting that the Democratic Party treated Kennedy “very badly.”

Trump has truth and an admirable record on his side, while his opponent is part of a failed presidency. Stick to the facts!
I’m in the camp that believes that the presidential election is Donald Trump’s to win or lose.
It’s a simple calculus: The undemocratically nominated Kamala Harris (how many Democrats voted for her and how many primary elections did she win?) has been a key part of an administration under which many Americans have not fared well.
Vice President Harris is leading President Trump in many national and swing state surveys. Democrats are ecstatic and Republicans dejected. Yet “shy Trump voters” lurk beyond the sight of pollsters, foreshadowing a much tighter race and potentially some Election Day surprises.
Of the eleven surveys comprising the RealClearPolitics Poll of Polls, only two find the candidates up outside the margins of error. Ms. Harris leads by four in Emerson, and Trump by the same number in Rassmussen. Factor in that the Electoral College divides the race into 51 races in the states and Washington D.C., and the picture gets even murkier.
It could not be more obvious what the judge should do here.
Former president Donald Trump’s defense team has written a letter to Judge Juan Merchan seeking postponement of the scheduled September 18, 2024, sentencing date.
As I’ve explained in recent posts (here and here, and at Fox News here), Judge Merchan has signaled his intention to deny Trump’s pending motion, principally based on the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling in Trump v. United States, to vacate the guilty verdicts and dismiss the indictment. On July 1, about a month after the jury found Trump guilty on 34 counts of business-records falsification, the Court held in Trump that presidents have at least presumptive immunity from criminal prosecution for official presidential acts, and absolute immunity for official acts within the president’s core constitutional authorities.
Elon Musk and Donald Trump had scheduled their conversation to begin at 8 p.m. Eastern Time as an X livestream. However, at 8 p.m., millions of the people who went to X found themselves staring at a blank purple square, thanks to a massive DDoS attack.* However, once the interview started, Trump finally had the space to expand on what matters to Americans, with Musk there to corral him gently when he went too far afield.
Former President Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk agreed that the United States does not “have a president right now” while speaking in an X Space on Monday.
“Biden is close to vegetable stage, in my opinion, I looked at him today on the beach, and I said, ‘Why would anybody allow him — the guy could barely walk. Does he have a political adviser that thinks this looks good? Because it looks so bad,” Trump said, referring to a recent video that surfaced of President Joe Biden at the beach.
I apologize for not being able to get to this last night. I gave up after being unable to log in to the Twitter session.
His support base extends from China to Gaza
Across much of the Euro-Atlantic, Donald Trump is an object of derision. The list of his foreign-policy sins is long: He’s callous towards his Nato allies and disdainful towards multilateral institutions and treaties. He introduced a “Muslim ban” and has derided the states of the so-called Global South as “shithole countries”. Breaking with bipartisan orthodoxy, he doesn’t get misty-eyed when talking about the “rules-based order”. When Biden was sworn in as president, we were told that the world breathed a collective sigh of relief: America was back, and everyone was glad.
To back up this claim, liberals cite polls which invariably give countries under the US security umbrella disproportionate representation, and which seem to confirm that the rest of the world shares their view. But as anyone who has lived or travelled extensively outside of the West in recent years will tell you, the reality on the ground is much more complex. Trump’s base extends far beyond the United States.
