“To be totally frank, almost every conspiracy theory that people had about Twitter turned out to be true,” Musk said.

“Is there a conspiracy theory about Twitter that didn’t turn out to be true? So far, they’ve all turned out to be true. If not more true than people thought.”

Files released earlier this month showed how the FBI worked to discredit the Biden laptop report and prevent it from spreading on the platform in October 2020, just weeks ahead of the general election that year.

Others showed how the FBI pressured Twitter to find evidence of foreign influence and sources of disinformation and to take action against specific accounts.

"Make no mistake, Madam; that folly is over. I will tear this sacred garment into a thousand pieces and scatter them on the wind. The people wait today for the revelation, but none will come. You may kill us if you can, but we have at least crushed a lie and done service to our country." - Greenmantle (1961)

Approval rates for welcoming refugees and support for globalism are low across Europe, with soaring numbers of respondents believing they are being personally harmed by the globalisation process, research shows.

The number of Britons who believe they are being personally harmed by globalisation has increased near-three-fold in one year, the number of Swedes who believe that has doubled, and in Germany, it has gone up nearly 90 per cent. Meanwhile, less than a third of Danes are happy about refugees fleeing to their country, and under half of all European nations surveyed say the same. This has been revealed in a partial dataset of research into the state of globalism in the West reported by Germany’s Die Welt newspaper.

People do not like it when politicians force an established culture to be supplanted by another. There are limits on how much diversity any place can hold.

Reduce, reuse, recycle: we are never more aware of the familiar mantra than at Christmas, when a tsunami of cardboard, cellophane and empty bottles of beer and Chateauneuf sweeps through the house. Each one of us is faced with a domestic waste mountain.

But a series of reports this year have raised questions about what happens to our recycling – and whether it’s even worth doing. The biggest problem concerns plastic. According to researchers, more than 60 per cent of the 2.5 million metric tonnes of plastic that is recycled in the UK every year is sent to countries where it is less likely to be recycled or disposed of sustainably. As a result, the equivalent of 30 double-decker-bus loads of plastic waste is dumped or burned in developing countries every 30 seconds, according to a study by the international relief charity Tearfund.

Elon Musk on Monday released another Twitter files drop: How Twitter rigged the Covid debate:

• By censoring info that was true but inconvenient to US government policy
• By discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed
• By suppressing ordinary users, including some sharing the CDC’s own data

So far the Twitter Files have focused on evidence of Twitter’s secret blacklists; how the company functioned as a kind of subsidiary of the FBI; and how execs rewrote the platform’s rules to accommodate their own political desires.

The United States government pressured Twitter and other social media platforms to elevate certain content and suppress other content about Covid-19.

Canada has just proposed the most intense gun ban in the history of our country and has done it in one of the most duplicitous manners possible. While Bill c21 originally was already a pretty catastrophic thing for gun owners in Canada, as it banned the transfer sale and purchase of handguns after being approved in the second reading Justin Trudeau's liberals have snuck in a cheeky little last-minute Amendment.

A last-minute edition of over 300 pages to be precise that was not announced or read in the initial proposals at all November 17th the Amendments G4 and g46 were added to Bill c21 and they were brought forward by Mr Chiang the secretary to the Minister of Housing diversity and inclusion. Yep, that sounds like the guy we want deciding what Firearms we have in doubt in this country. Instead of just Banning the use of handguns for the alleged purpose of stopping crime these Amendments have now snuck in a swath of other rifles. Not so-called assault rifles, not handguns, but simple hunting Firearms even antique firearms and display models that no criminal would ever imagine wielding during some sort of violent crime.

Hey what's up guys. We're back at the abandoned Factory in Kankakee Illinois. Once a general Foods Factory it closes doors back in 1997 with pretty much everything left in place frozen in time. Today mere tacticals once again flown me out to attend their amazing events all over the United States. This one has quickly become one of my absolute favorite

Real-life "Call of Duty".

Well played Sir.

Some gun owners in Houston, TX are retaliating against burglars and intruders by taking matters into their own hands as they should, while police provide some guidance.

It's unfair to expect people who act honorably, mind their own business, and abide by the law while working hard to support their families to just wait for the police to come and defend them because some criminal decided they wanted to target them because they thought they were an easy target.

Thankfully, Texas gun laws are what they are, and people in Texas can exercise their constitutional right to use a gun to protect themselves.
