Jeff Bezos on Monday questioned whether his fellow billionaire Elon Musk could be making Twitter vulnerable to pressure from China, as a result of Musk's extensive business liabilities in the Asian nation.'Interesting question,' mused Bezos, who in 2013 bought The Washington Post with a view to protecting free speech and supporting journalism. 'Did the Chinese government just gain a bit of leverage over the town square?'He commented atop a retweet from a New York Times journalist, noting that Musk's Tesla was extremely exposed to China. China is Tesla's second largest market,

What the hell is a Jameela Jamil? I had hoped that when Bezos bought the Post he could save the Post from it's America-hating socialist leanings; boy was I chagrinned? It's as bad now if not worse than when Kathryn Graham and Ben Bradlee took it over the edge in the 1960s. Bezos doesn't give damn about Chinese control over anything, he's putting up a deflection defense from his own Socialistic tendencies.

The liberal angst is hilarious and absurd. I believe the biggest problem that Musk will face is that some employees, no longer able to play censors, will leave. He will probably have to hire some new people and the platform may face some glitches until things stabilize. Will he be able to find neutral employees in San Francisco? Maybe he won't need as many employees now that the burdens of being censors are greatly reduced.

I'm surprised Bezos didn't say Musk was in the pocket of President Trump. That would have been more in tune to his Leftist brand. Yep, Bezos has revealed himself to be small and petty. Bloomberg was always jealous of Trump when he was the mayor of NYC. It's called billionaire envy.

If you read even the first paragraph or so, you find that the headline (typically for the DM) misleads. Bezos was asked a question. He responded that it was an “interesting question” and responded with his own question. These lib publications will continue to try to go after Musk while many of the rest of us admire him.

Congressional Republicans plan to open up five avenues of investigation into Hunter Biden and his infamous laptop — and they zeroed in Wednesday on one of the first son’s former business partners.The minority members of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform are laying the groundwork for a probe that would get underway if the GOP gains subpoena power by wresting control from Democrats in the November elections, as many political experts expect.Topping the list are the first son’s controversial overseas business dealings — some of which involved the state-controlled Bank of China

California lawmakers appear unlikely to pause the annual summer increase in the state's gasoline tax ahead of a May 1 deadline, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said on Monday. Newsom, a Democrat, had previously expressed support for helping California motorists experiencing pain at the pump by waiting to implement a 5.6% tax hike scheduled to take effect on July 1. The tax is used to fund roads and other infrastructure projects; the state's Legislative Analyst's Office projected the tax will generate about $8.8 billion in revenue during the 2021-22 fiscal year.

To fully understand how Democrats plan to turn America into a single-party state, take a look at two of their seemingly disparate actions shortly after President Biden’s inauguration.In Washington, Democrats immediately pushed legislation to fundamentally take over state-run elections to greatly loosen voter registration rules. While GOP senators stalled the bill in January, Democrats have vowed to enact the unprecedented federalization, somehow, someday.At the southern border, Mr. Biden has illegally opened the gates to just about anyone — be they drug and sex traffickers, or migrant job seekers, or sex offenders or other criminals.

ALBANY, N.Y. —New York’s highest court on Wednesday rejected new congressional maps that had widely been seen as favoring Democrats, largely agreeing with Republican voters who argued the district boundaries were unconstitutionally gerrymandered.The state’s Court of Appeals said lawmakers lacked the authority to pass the congressional and state Senate maps after an independent redistricting commission failed to reach a consensus.The judges also said lawmakers gerrymandered the congressional maps to Democrats’ favor, in violation of a 2014 constitutional amendment designed to rout out political gamesmanship in redistricting.The Appeals Court said it will “likely be necessary” to move the congressional and state Senate primary elections from June to August.

President Joe Biden is banning traditional incandescent lightbulbs in a push to be more energy efficient, but critics claim the switch to LED alternatives will prove costly for poorer Americans. The Department of Energy (DOE) adopted two new rules Tuesday that strengthen energy efficiency standards for lightbulbs and will effectively phase out the sale of traditional bulbs by next year. However, consumer analysts allege that not only are LED bulbs more expensive, costing nearly $4 each as opposed to $1 for an incandescent bulb, but are often not stocked in stores in lower-income communities. Around 30 percent of the two billion bulbs sold in the US every year are incandescent.

Accusing NATO and its allies of attempting to bully Russia on the international stage, Lavrov said that tensions between east and west are now worse than during the Cuban missile crisis at the height of the Cold War.
