You know what propels the free speech movement forward? When the neurotic and prickly establishment social media companies continue to kick visible personalities off their platforms.  In the last few weeks alone, Twitter has either suspended or permanently banned Robert Malone, Matt Walsh, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Of course, this is nothing new for establishment

Cancel culture is not new.  It has been used for generations to impose a different worldview.  In the biblical Book of Genesis, Cain and Abel are the first sons of Adam and Eve. Cain, the firstborn was a farmer, and his brother Abel was a shepherd. The brothers made sacrifices to God, but God favored

Democratic congressman Jamaal Bowman of New York calls Arizona Democratic senator Kyrsten Sinema a “traitor” to “our democracy” for refusing to vote to override the Senate’s 60-vote threshold for legislation: Hero: a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Traitor: a person who betrays a friend, country, principle, etc.

At home and abroad, the governing ideology of the Biden administration has amounted to political desertification. One of Rome’s fiercest enemies said of the Romans in A.D. 83, “They make a desert and call it peace.” Looking back on 2021, it can be said of the Biden administration that they are also making a desert,

On Wednesday, CNN host Don Lemon leaned into his claim from almost one year ago exactly about Trump supporters that earned him our Chris Cuomo Memorial Award for Worst Quote of the Year.

“OSHA has never before imposed such a mandate. Nor has Congress. Indeed, although Congress has enacted significant legislation addressing the COVID–19 pandemic, it has declined to enact any measure similar to what OSHA has promulgated here,” the ruling reads. “The Supreme Court has spoken, confirming what we all knew: Biden’s disastrous mandates are unconstitutional,” Donald

During an unusually tough exclusive interview with Vice President Kamala Harris aired on NBC’s Today show Thursday morning, co-host Craig Melvin actually asked the VP if she would be dropped from the Democratic Party ticket in 2024. A visibly upset Harris bristled that she didn’t want to respond to “the punditry and the gossip.” “Are

Donald Trump took office in 2017 with approval ratings underwater. His RealClearPolitics average on his first full day in office was -8.1. As a result, many have speculated that pollsters weren’t properly capturing Trump’s support in their surveys. Regardless, by historical standards, Trump’s approval ratings were never good. By comparison, Joe Biden took office with

Meanwhile, NBC Nightly News recalled how wrong the Biden White House has

I hadn’t bothered getting a COVID booster for exactly one reason. The wildfire-like omicron variant is so mild — and getting it likely increases your natural immunity to other variants — that for a young(ish) and healthy person like myself, omicron is actually preferable to a booster. But now I have a second reason to

The Biden administration advanced a federal review of the impact of leasing public waters for offshore wind farms in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday.

Gas prices at a BP station in New York City, November 24, 2021. (Andrew Kelly/Reuters) Another month, another inflation report that causes the words “highest rate since” to appear in headlines. The Biden administration definitely wants those three words in succession to stop showing up in response to the release of the consumer price index

MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid showed in 2021 that she was unrelenting in her use of dangerous and incendiary rhetoric, so it was no surprise when, on Tuesday night, she argued critics of Dr. Fauci were “pro-Omicron armchair physicians” and unvaccinated Americans should receive lower pay and less (or no) medical care when ill compared

I’ve had just about enough of the Democrats’ rhetoric these days. How many times can you listen to Democrats cry wolf about how democracy is “hanging by a thread” or that “democracy is stake” unless something is done about it and not go nuts? Using the Capitol riot as a pretext, Democrats want to overhaul

A New York federal judge ruled against Prince Andrew’s motion to dismiss Wednesday in a lawsuit in which the prince is accused of having sexually abused a minor, multiple sources reported.

President Joe Biden’s new Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chief of Staff Kristie Canegallo has a politically leftist, pro-censorship history that should raise concerns for free speech advocates. Kristie Canegallo, formerly Google’s vice president of trust and safety, is now chief of staff at the DHS. Canegallo has a history of targeting so-called “hate speech”

School districts across America have mostly remained open during the surge in positive virus tests, but parents appear reluctant to allow their kids to attend in-person classes.

Documents published by Project Veritas appear to prove Anthony Fauci to be the liar we all know he is and the dangers of the so-called “vaccines” for the Fauci Flu. The COVID World provided a good summation of the documents describing them as “stunning classified documents which give insight into the origin of COVID-19, the

Who would ever have thought that Bill Maher would become the voice of reason of the left? While that’s admittedly a very low bar, Maher has nevertheless managed to surprise several times in recent months, as the rabid extremism of the left has become too much even for him. “To me, when people say to

This week, the incoming New York City Mayor Eric Adams — the supposed rational corrective to uber-radical outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio — announced that he would allow legislation to proceed allowing local voting for 800,000 noncitizens.

Detail of portrait of President Abraham Lincoln by George Healey, 1869 (White House Historical Association/via Wikimedia) Allen C. Guelzo is always worth reading.

A new report by The Washington Free Beacon exposed how Amazon, whose web services division nuked the free speech platform Parler reportedly for “violent content,” has been peddling Nazi propaganda films.

After setting up a backup social media account on GETTR (follow me here) last week, I began pondering the recent waves of outrage about conservatives getting suspended or banned by Twitter and Facebook. And I was super bored by it all. via GIPHY I don’t like it when conservatives overplay the victim card–or play victim
