A “very upset” French President Emmanuel Macron condemned Big Tech for hypocritically censoring a sitting president and his supporters after enabling violence. Leaders from Eastern Europe, the Anglosphere, and now the European Union have warned Big Tech that it overstepped its bounds by censoring then-President Donald Trump and his supporters. Macron expressed outrage over Big Tech companies choosing to “suddenly cut the mic” and silence “all the platforms where it was possible for [former-President Donald Trump] and his supporters to express themselves,” AP News reported Feb. 4.

We already know what it is, but it’s encouraging to see America’s most influential newspaper pinpoint it. The first step is admitting you have a problem. If the Times thinks it’s time to be less fussy about prioritization in the name of expanding access, certain blue-state governors are destined to start feeling that way too. Columnist David Leonhardt warns that the fetish for “equity” is costing lives: A common problem seems to be a focus on process rather than on getting shots into arms.

The coldest air yet of the winter season — by far — is on its way south from Canada, as the Polar Vortex vacates its home in the Arctic to pay the U.S. a visit. Ahead of that Arctic air will be another major snowstorm for the Northeast, less than a week after the region saw its biggest snowfall in years. Both of these weather systems will mark the beginning of the coldest week of the winter in the eastern half of the nation, and the cold may stick around at least through the middle of the month. This is all due to very slow moving and blocky steering winds

Sure, Biden reportedly admonished his brother to 'watch yourself,' but that didn't stop brother Frank getting busy advertising his ties to Joe in an ad for a Florida law firm on the day Joe was sworn in. Son Hunter reportedly never divested himself of his China holdings as had been leaked earlier. On the Kamala Harris side of things, stepdaughter Ella got a lucrative modeling contract, and niece Maya got herself a book deal and clothing range. Now son Hunter has got himself a lucrative book deal, too,

The prosecution in the George Floyd case filed a motion Thursday to reinstate the third-degree murder charge against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. The motion asks Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill to reinstate the third-degree murder charge against Chauvin or to file an amended complaint that includes third-degree murder, citing new legal precedent set in former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor’s appeal in his own case. The motion also asks to add a third-degree murder charge against the other former officers charged in Floyd’s death: Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao. On June 3, Chauvin was

WASHINGTON - The United States should extend the May 1 deadline for pulling all its troops from Afghanistan, and make force cuts contingent on progress in peace talks as well as by the Taliban in reducing violence and containing al Qaeda, a bipartisan report to Congress said on Wednesday. Washington should not abandon the Afghan peace process, the report said. But conditions for its success will not be met by a May 1 deadline set in a 2020 U.S.-Taliban agreement. Withdrawing all U.S. troops then could lead to civil war, destabilizing the region and reviving the al Qaeda threat. The United

Taxpayer-funded contractors, responsible for resettling refugees across the United States, are celebrating President Joe Biden’s executive order that will increase refugee resettlement by nearly 960 percent this year.On Thursday, Biden signed an order that will set the maximum number of refugees resettled in the U.S. at 125,000 for Fiscal Year 2021. The refugee cap is simply a numerical limit and not a goal for federal officials to reach.In Fiscal Year 2020, the Trump administration admitted less than 12,000 refugees as the program was largely halted to slow the spread of the Chinese coronavirus and only emergency cases were processed.

One of the most disheartening things since Trump left office is that he took his bravado with him. (snip) It’s therefore nice to know that Trump is still Trump – as evidenced by his response to the Screen Actor’s Guild, which threatened him with expulsion over January 6. (snip) SAG decided to score some cheap publicity by firing Trump, who was a member because of all his years bringing money to Hollywood (snip) Trump kicked SAG to the curb with a letter that began, magnificently, “I write to you today regarding the so-called Disciplinary Committee hearing aimed at revoking my union membership. Who cares!”

A New York Times reporter has suggested the president appoint a “reality czar,” who would lead “a cross-agency task force to tackle disinformation and domestic extremism.” Please tell us, comrade, when the show trials begin. We don’t want to miss them. The author of this idea is Times technology reporter Kevin Roose, who was writing about “how the Biden administration can help solve our reality crisis.” His is not a lone recommendation on how the ruling class should re-educate, curb, and cancel the unruly masses to the right of center.

A weird thing happened right after the Nov. 3 election: nothing. The nation was braced for chaos. Liberal groups had vowed to take to the streets, planning hundreds of protests across the country. Right-wing militias were girding for battle. In a poll before Election Day, 75% of Americans voiced concern about violence. Instead, an eerie quiet descended. As President Trump refused to concede, the response was not mass action but crickets. When media organizations called the race for Joe Biden on Nov. 7, jubilation broke out instead, as people thronged cities across the U.S. to celebrate the democratic process that resulted in Trump’s ouster.

A Cornell Law School professor has launched a new database which lists schools teaching critical race theory, after blasting the practice as ‘very racist’ and accusing ‘anti-racism ideology’ of causing discrimination on campuses. William Jacobson appeared on Fox News on Thursday night to speak about the site, which he claims will help parents avoid sending their children to schools where they will be ‘indoctrinated’ into thinking that the ‘most important thing in society is the color of your skin’.

Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) has proposed consolidating federal family benefits policies with a single benefit that delivers monthly payments made to families with children under the age of 17.The legislation, dubbed the Family Security Act, would provide $350 per month to families with a child under the age of 6, and $250 per month to families with a child under the age of 17. In total, a family could receive up to $4,200 per child under the age of six, and $3,000 per child older than six but younger than 17-years-old, every year. Payments could also start up to four months before a baby’s due date, according to his office.

If this woke cultural moment seems beyond absurd to you, you’re not alone. When completely mainstream views are attacked and vilified regularly on cable news and the editorial pages of major newspapers, it is not only exhausting. It is maddening. Let’s review one gross example of how woke narratives are spun to benefit one political ideology and denigrate the other. The nation watched riots, property destruction, and assaults on law enforcement officers all summer long from woke radical left-wing groups. In the end, they caused at least $2 billion in damage, killed approximately 40 people, and injured a minimum of 700 law enforcement officers.

On Wednesday, “The View” cohost Joy Behar aggressively defended the White House’s stance over screening reporters’ questions in advance. She contended that press conferences should not be inundated with “gotcha questions” that target press secretary Jen Psaki.Behar hotly defended the White House telling reporters what they can and can’t ask: “First of all let’s talk about whether they’re actual specific questions or areas of discussion, and, you know, this type of press conference is not supposed to be gotcha questions, they’re supposed to be informative information questions and answers, and so it behooves the administration to be prepared to give the correct information.”

Republicans condemn “conspiracy theories” from their own fringe while Democrats support their own extremists, said Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Thursday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.Marlow invited Cotton’s remarks on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), given recent news media focus on the representative from Georgia.Marlow said, “I’m kind of confused about what’s going on with the Marjorie Taylor Greene stuff. I’m not into Marjory Taylor Greene. It seems like she said some really nutty stuff and I don’t dig it, but is she really the person who’s running the Republican Party, because I’ve turned on MSNBC and CNN, and that’s kind of what I’ve heard.”
