[MSN] Facebook announced Friday a two-year ban of former President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... from its platforms, including Instagram, until at least January 2023.
Facebook’s vice president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, said that Trump’s actions on its social media networks "constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols."
The decision came after Facebook’s quasi-independent Oversight Board said last month that the social media giant was justified in removing Trump’s access from its platforms the day after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Facebook was then directed to review the suspension.
The two-year extension of Trump’s suspension is effective from the date of the initial ban on Jan. 7.
The former president called the ban "an insult" in a statement Friday. "They shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this censoring and silencing, and ultimately, we will win. Our Country can’t take this abuse anymore!" he said in a statement.

Just imagine speaker Trump introducing legislation to revoke Section 230, or to outlaw cheat-by-mail, or holding hearings on Doctor Falsie's involvement with Wuhan.

[Project Veritas] Heidi Swartz, Facebook VP, Deputy General Counsel, Employment Law and Investigations: "Project Veritas released a video last week alleging that they had uncovered a new effort to sensor vaccine concerns globally. It was based on leaked documents about a health integrity program that we have in place that combats vaccine hesitancy by taking a hard stance against vaccine information -- misinformation. This isn't a new effort. This is a program we've proudly spoken about publicly in our blog."
Swartz: "They [leakers] threatened our open culture, as Mark [Zuckerberg] said, they make it harder for us to achieve our goals. They generally encourage more leaks...I know some people here feel that there are good leaks and there are bad leaks, but they're all damaging. They're not the right way to bring about change, especially at a company like this."
Swartz: "When we find leakers, which we often do, we have zero tolerance. So that means we fire them...We're also continuing to investigate additional potential leakers, and we plan to take action there too. We're also working on continuing to ramp up our investigative techniques as our company grows."
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO: "You know -- when people leak stuff, do we find them? I've been clear that we have a number of efforts to find people and we terminate people and pursue the recourse that we have when we identify them. In this [Project Veritas] case, we did find them."
Zuckerberg: "We also need to be very good at rooting out people who are leaking stuff. You know, I think over the last year there've been more leaks than I think all of us would have wanted, but we also find a lot of the folks and terminate them."

[PJMedia] On Friday night, a federal judge struck down California's decades-long ban on "assault weapons," ruling that the ban violates the Second Amendment as understood under the precedents of District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) and United States v. Miller (1939).
"Under no level of heightened scrutiny can the law survive," U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez
...Cuban-born and nominated by President George W. Bush, this is his second major ruling on a 2nd Amendment case. The second round appeal (an en banc rehearing by the entire 9th Circuit court of appeals) of his 2019 summary judgement against California’s ban on large capacity magazines is scheduled for later this month...
wrote, claiming that the California statutes banning "assault weapons" are "arbitrary and capricious." He issued a permanent injunction that takes effect in 30 days. Attorney General Rob Bonta (D-Calif.) announced he would appeal the decision.
Gov. Gavin Newsom claimed that the ruling "is a direct threat to public safety and innocent Californians." The governor also cited one of the more colorful parts of the ruling, a comparison between a Swiss Army knife and an AR-15.
"Overturning CA's assault weapon ban and comparing an AR-15 to a SWISS ARMY KNIFE is a disgusting slap in the face to those who have lost loved ones to gun violence," Newsom tweeted. "This is a direct threat to public safety and innocent Californians. We won't stand for it."
Yet Benitez's comparison is not as outrageous as Newsom suggests. In the ruling, Benitez notes that Californians already own hundreds of thousands of "assault weapons" under the state's definition, and that the definition in the law is rather arbitrary. These and other points make the Swiss Army knife comparison far more reasonable than it appears at first blush.
"Like the Swiss Army Knife, the popular AR-15 rifle is a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle, the AR-15 is the kind of versatile gun that lies at the intersection of the kinds of firearms protected under District of Columbia v. Heller, (2008) and United States v Miller, (1939). Yet, the State of California makes it a crime to have an AR15 type rifle. Therefore, this Court declares the California statutes to be unconstitutional," Benitez wrote.
The judge noted that the legacy media twists the facts on gun ownership.
"One is to be forgiven if one is persuaded by news media and others that the nation is awash with murderous AR-15 assault rifles. The facts, however, do not support this hyperbole, and facts matter," he wrote. "Federal Bureau of Investigation murder statistics do not track assault rifles, but they do show that killing by knife attack is far more common than murder by any kind of rifle. In California, murder by knife occurs seven times more often than murder by rifle."
In 2019, for example, assailants murdered 252 people in California with a knife, while criminals murdered only 34 people with some type of rifle. "A Californian is three times more likely to be murdered by an attacker's bare hands, fists, or feet, than by his rifle," Benitez noted. Long past time for this to happen. I don't expect the SC to take it up once it has been appealed to that point, however. Buncha cowards.

[IsraelTimes] Rep. Ted Deutch, a Jewish Democratic congressman from Florida, blamed anti-Israel congresspeople in his own party for the recent spike in antisemitism.
Speaking at a virtual event with fellow politicians on Thursday that addressed recent antisemitism in Florida, Deutch called out "people in the United States who hear that the entire state of Israel is some unacceptable creation," according to Jewish Insider. He also referenced Democrats who oppose Israel or accuse it of "apartheid," such as Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore... , Cori Bush ...a member of the progressive Squad. Born in St. Louis, Bush represents Missouri's 1st congressional district that includes all of the city of St. Louis and a large part of northern St. Louis County. Cori sez America is Racist AF... and Ilhan Omar ...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side... "When we have colleagues whose position is ’Paleostine from the river to the sea,’ which includes no place for a Jewish state, and when our colleagues... wrongly and falsely describe Israel as an apartheid state, there is a context for all of this," Deutch said, according to Jewish Insider.
Deutch added, "Attacks like that against Jews have led to antisemitism and expulsion, and violence around the world."
Rep. Lois Frankel, a Jewish Democrat who serves a district neighboring Deutch’s, said at the same event that she preferred to "attack antisemitism, not necessarily the person," because "somehow when you attack people who are saying terrible things, you help them raise a lot of money," Jewish Insider reported.
The event took place on the same night as an in-person event at the Florida Holocaust Museum in Tampa Bay, protesting a recent vandalism attack against the museum. Last week, the museum was graffitied with swastikas and the message "The Jews are guilty."
At the event, the museum’s executive director, Elizabeth Gelman, read a letter to the museum from President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity.... condemning the vandalism.
"As the president has said, the recent surge in antisemitic attacks is despicable, and it must end immediately," the letter said. "The Biden-Harris Administration is working every day to stop these attacks and to ensure that everyone is safe."
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo opened up about her sexuality on Instagram, where she also shared two images of herself in a 'gay for you' cap
One photo had the rainbow Pride flag and the Pansexual flag in the background
She began the post simply by stating: 'Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo is queer'
The Brown University graduate, who is the younger sister of twins Mariah and Cara, also took aim at Instagram for 'censoring the LGBTQ community'
She accused the photo-sharing app of banning 'words such as lesbian and bi', claiming that this 'stripped her ability to find queer content and community'
Michaela then paid tribute to the 'activists who fought for her right to love and happiness' while sharing her support for other LGBTQ people
Neither Cuomo or his ex-wife have yet to publicly comment on Michaela's post
In April, it was revealed Michaela and her two sisters, Mariah and Cara, 26, were each given $330,000 by Cuomo after he inked a $5million book deal
The payment was put in a trust, with the Governor praising the 'tireless and effective work' his daughters did 'for all New Yorkers' during the pandemic

[MSN] A specter is haunting America, a great revolt that threatens to dwarf the noxious rebellion led by Trump. The echoes of a another potentially larger pushback can already be heard in progressive America. But it's not towards socialism, as many suggest. It's the opposite: a new middle-class rebellion against the excesses of the Left.
This new middle-class rebellion isn't rejecting everything that progressives stand for; the Left's critique of neo-liberal excess is resonating, as is the need for improved access to health care. But the current focus on "systemic racism," coupled with a newfound and heavily enforced cultural conformism and the obsessive focus on a never-ending litany of impending "climate emergences" are less likely to pass muster with most of the middle class, no matter how popular they are with the media, academics, and others in the progressive corner.

They don't care they're 8%, they'll just disregard us. They view us as irredeemable, stupid fuckwits who can't be reasoned with. We are to be crushed. Did Stalin negotiate with the kulaks?
And they have zero compunction about election cheating. They regard elections as invalid anyway. Electoralism is a nonstarter for them.
[BREITBART] Vermont Gov. Phil Scott (R) is asking state lawmakers to pass an elections law that would allow non-citizens across the state to vote in local municipality elections.
Scott vetoed two pieces of legislation that sought to give non-citizens the right to vote in local elections in Montpelier and Winooski, Vermont. However, he said he is not opposed to the plan but wants state legislatures to send him a bill that would give non-citizens the right to vote, statewide, in local elections.
“This is an important policy discussion that deserves further consideration and debate,” Scott wrote in his vetoes.

What a bunch of nonsense coming from the governor. So if the Federal government allows anyone to flood into the U.S., they can be relocated wherever they are needed to sway an election. With "proper" incentives (e.g. buying of votes or threats to be returned from wherever they came or bribes), they can be encouraged to vote for the "proper" candidate or issue. What's to keep them from voting in non-local elections? Voting is a right of free citizens.

[NYPOST] Unruly protesters smashed a window at the famed Greenwich Village eatery Carbone on Thursday night — leaving one diner with minor injuries, police and sources said.
Police said they are investigating the vandalism to the outdoor dining structure of the Italian American hotspot that occurred as a group of demonstrators marched by at about 8:15 p.m.
One woman seated at an outdoor table suffered a cut to her shoulder, police and sources said. She refused medical attention at the scene.
The woman was among a party of about eight diners who were still at the table about two hours later as workers quickly replaced the shattered window with a new one.
Despite the scare, the group appeared to be in good spirits, sipping on red wine.
Thursday’s demonstration was part of the Stonewall Protests, which gathers weekly outside the iconic Greenwich Village bar to march around Manhattan.
Restaurant staff declined to comment on the vandalism, but the NYPD condemned it.
"Businesses throughout NYC are still recovering from the past year, purposely causing damage to their business is not helping any cause," the department said in a statement posted to Twitter.
[NYPOST] In the increasingly bitter race for the New York City Democratic mayoral nomination, one disturbing fact looms larger by the day:
While Andrew Yang ...Former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. Unlike most of the other Dem 2020 candidates, he actually did things besides politix in his adult life, which made him political poison. He worked in startups and early-stage growth companies as a founder or executive from 2000 to 2009. After he founded Venture for America, the Obama administration selected him in 2012 as a Champion of Change and in 2015 as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. His signature campaign policy is what he calls the Freedom Dividend, a form of Universal Basic Income for every American over 18. Yang believes UBI is a necessary response to the rapid development of automation that is leading to workforce challenges. The other two central elements of Yang's platform are Medicare for All and Human-Centered Capitalism.... has absolutely no qualifications for the job, Kathryn Garcia, who’s risen in the polls in what’s become a three-way race with Yang and Eric Adams, has all the wrong qualifications.
A career bureaucrat who boasts of her accomplishments in various city positions — most notably, or ignominiously, seven years at the helm of the Department of Sanitation — Garcia compiled a track record of incompetence bordering on dereliction.
In fact, "Garbage in, garbage out" might best reflect her DOS tenure, during which the city’s streets and sidewalks turned filthier than ever. Yang alluded to it without using Garcia’s name at Wednesday night’s debate, but her finger- and footprints are all over it.
Garcia’s career history is full of embarrassments, from her fuzzy, blame-the-cops approach to crime (she’d take us "from a warrior culture to a guardian mindset") to paying mostly minority women at DOS half as much as mostly white men for similar work, as The Post reported.
Her loopy proposed solution to reducing traffic congestion is to add 250 miles of bike lanes to the existing 1,375 miles — which are, of course, in themselves a large reason for traffic congestion.

[THEASPENBEAT] Millions of sub-Saharan blacks seek to immigrate to America. They apparently haven’t gotten the memo that this is a wretched land of systemic anti-black racism.When they get here, they’re strangers in a strange land. English is usually not their first language. Their skin color tends to be very black, not the lighter color of American blacks who have an average of about 25% white blood in them.
Despite those handicaps, they do better than American-born blacks. Compared to American-born blacks, their income is about a third higher, their poverty rates are significantly lower, their educational achievement is higher, and their marriage rate is double.
Here’s the most intriguing statistic. Although black immigrants colonists are more successful than American-born blacks, their relative success does not get passed onto their children. Compared to the immigrant parents, their grown children work less, are impoverished more, obtain less education and are less-often married.
Why is this? Does the notorious systemic racism of America somehow target the children of black immigrants colonists while leaving the immigrant parents unscathed?
Maybe. But It’s hard to imagine the mechanism for such selective racism targeting.
It’s more likely that the children of black immigrants colonists assimilate into American black culture — a culture where the murder rate is seven times the white murder rate and the illegitimacy rate is 78%. The data suggest that’s a bad thing.

Easily explained. The children of immigrants, (possibly having no foreign homeland point of reference) assisted by a sympathetic government, tend to assimilate into the local black culture.

Lack of knowledge regarding paternal origins and territorial conflict are also common among certain other primates. All encroaching males (not part of the immediate tribe) are seen as the enemy and in need elimination.
#9
Everyone, regardless of race, are respected and free. There are no intentional barriers thrown up to impede their success and they are used to hard work and sacrifice.
There is no racism in this country.
There are Black Americans who are excellent business people. One who is an aquaintance who only had one restaurant a year ago now has 3 restaurants that he established during the pandemic while many were closed.

Because the immigrants and their children weren't poisoned by
- a culture of dependence that came with the Great Society
- negative reinforcement of constant Blame Whitey rhetoric
- the shittiest, stupidest, most toxic popular music culture on the planet
#11
- An education system which constantly told them they were too ignorant and stupid and needed help.
- Media which constantly told them that, even though their parents immigrated from Africa - their ancestors were slaves of the old south and they needed reparations.
