Joe Biden's WH is disseminating "disinformation?" I'm shocked.
Even Hilary Clinton got fact-checked on Twitter a few days ago. Love it.
Liberal heads are exploding right now.

Thats funny a liberal friend of mine claimed Biden gave seniors a 8.5 % increase in their social security payments. I said GREAT, with inflation running at 8.3% they in real terms and buying power got a 0.2 % raise which is tidily winks!

Well, that biggest increase in ten years is automatically triggered by the rise in the CPI, which is the highest in forty years. Since it was President Biden's "leadership" that caused this current tidal wave of inflation, the statement is technically correct. Just not in the way Democrats would like us to believe.

It reminds me of one of my favorite SNL lines from the late 70s when it was still legal to tell jokes from both sides of the political spectrum.
Dan Ackroyd was portraying Jimmy Carter during a period of even worse inflation than now:
"People complain about the cost of living going up. All we have to do is print more money and give it to people. Sure, inflation will skyrocket, but who cares? We'll all be millionaires."

I guess these leftists don't realize that if all the woke advertisers leave, then Twitter will have only right-leaning advertisers to be beholden to, and only right-leaning companies getting their messages out to Twitter users. |

Elon Musk has done more in the past few weeks to acknowledge bias in Social Media than has the entire MSM apparatus. Amazing.

OK, this is what I just saw on Tucker tonight. He said that Elon is planning to release Twitter documents exposing how the government censored speech on Twitter the past couple years. Who, what, etc. Apple said that if he does, they will remove the Twitter App from their Apple Store.

So this article is an "add-on" to the post above indicating that Apple (and Google) will remove the Twitter App from their stores. The only thing I could think of is Musk making his own phone. But if he makes his own phone, the two cell-phone tower networks could ban his phones. So then what? Plus, banks could decide to refuse his business. I think we need a separate banking system, separate communications system.... Otherwise, when we support Apple or Google we support wokism fascism. When we support Chase or BofA, we support the leftist ideology. But how could a separate economy work at Home Depot, Ralphs, etc? New credit cards... Cities already regulate ISPs and cable companies. ISP's can block content too.

Who, what, etc. Apple said that if he does, they will remove the Twitter App from their Apple Store. Let me see if I have this right. During the last few years, Apple has carried the Twitter app in their Apple Store despite the fact that Twitter censored free speech. And now that Twitter is coming clean with proof of what they did, Apple is threatening to ban the Twitter app from their Apple Store? How is that not backwards? How is that anything but an overt admission by Apple that "we're guilty too, your Honor!" If evey social media company in the world went down in flames tomorrow, I'd be the happiest person on the planet. I'd be perfectly content with going back to communicating via phone calls, emails and text messages. |

Good for Gab, and good for Musk.
Musk provided some seed money for Paypal but sold his interests to create his current companies. The big hang up in all of this-the way they can stifle us-IMO, is the banking. Elon is working his own system for that too.
Paypal, Apple, Disney, etc. could go out of business, for all I care. Not that Microsoft is much better... Or Google, for that matter.
