Conservatives blasted Facebook and its Oversight Board for upholding an indefinite ban on former President Trump on Wednesday. "It is a sad day for America. It’s a sad day for Facebook because I can tell you, a number of members of Congress are now looking at: Do they break up Facebook, do they make sure that they don't have a monopoly? And I can tell you that it is two different standards, one for Donald Trump and one for a number of other people that are on their sites," Trump's former chief of staff Mark Meadows told "America's Newsroom."

Good luck with that. Who do you suppose really runs Facebook and Google, which exist to funnel scraped data into a massive surveillance database?

I'm surprised foreign governments haven't banded together to regulate and penalize these oligarchs and their Intel handlers. Also surprised there isn't an EU search engine or an new mobile phone OS that doesn't spy and sell your tracking.

I still say everyone who has left Facebook, or has never had a membership there, needs to get on today!!! If all 70,000,000 of President Trump's voters from November will get on and post a dozen posts a day about how great President Trump is how terrible not-my-president Lyin' Joe Biden is, that will be over 800,000,000 posts a day. We will break Facebook. And we will keep doing it until they stop being communist dictators!!!! Sure, they will stick us in "Facebook jail" or cancel our accounts. And we will just keep rejoining and posting. It will drive all of those eternally butt-hurt millenial snowflake "fact checkers" insane as they cower in mommy's basement!!!!!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the White House issued Mother's Day messages on Sunday as some progressives crusading against gendered terms elect to use the term "birthing people" instead."Our mothers are our Guardian Angels, and we carry them always in our hearts, whether or not we are blessed to have them with us," Pelosi, D-Calif., wrote on Sunday. "Happy Mother's Day to you and your family." "Moms have always built, shaped, led, and sustained this country — and we’re committed to fighting for the safe and equitable workplaces, affordable health care, child care, and equal pay that every mom deserves.

(Snip) Apparently, history really does repeat itself, as another left-leaning, 80-something year-old Supreme Court justice is refusing to retire at a time when the Democrats have a precarious hold on the Senate, and

In a Saturday statement, Colonial Pipeline said that it 'proactively took certain systems offline to contain the threat, which has temporarily halted all pipeline operations, and affected some of our IT systems.' The hackers are likely a professional cybercriminal group, and a group dubbed 'DarkSide' was among the potential suspects, two U.S. government officials told Reuters.(Snip) DarkSide is known for deploying ransomware and extorting victims—while avoiding targets in post-Soviet states.

The Biden administration has continued to overlook the surge of illegal immigration at the southern border.While speaking as a guest on a podcast recently, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki expressed her frustrations over individuals who continually ask when Joe Biden is going to visit the border. She claimed most Americans are focused on fixing the economy and recovering while only a small percentage are worried about the migrant surge.However, a poll conducted by Harvard University/Harris Insights and Analytics in February found that 55 percent of Americans are opposed to the Biden administration’s handling of the migrant crisis. This came after Biden used executive orders to rollback President Trump’s
