Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey has exited the social media company's board of directors. The planned departure comes as Tesla and SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk continues his attempt to purchase the company. The company initially announced last November that Dorsey would leave the board when his term expired at the company's 2022 shareholder meeting, which took place Wednesday. Dorsey's departure means that all of the company's founders have discontinued official ties with the company. Dorsey is currently the CEO of payments company Block, previously known as Square.

The Daily Beast has issued an apology to the Delaware computer repairman who acquired Hunter Biden’s laptop for wrongly claiming in a past story that the computer was “stolen.”
The apology to John Paul Mac Isaac appeared in a Wednesday editor’s note attached to a story the Daily Beast published in Dec. 2020 alleging the laptop was pilfered, Fox News reported. “An earlier version of this story mistakenly referred to Hunter Biden’s laptop as ‘stolen.’ We have removed that word, and we apologize to Mr. Mac Isaac for the error,” the editor’s note reads.
Pray for Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi is in serious trouble. And not the kind of trouble associated with such petty, earthly concerns like her party losing its majority in a humiliating and historic fashion this coming November. And with that loss, her loss of the speakership for the second time in a dozen years.
No, Nancy Pelosi has some serious trouble with the disposition of her soul. And she needs our prayers, even if she doesn't believe it herself.
Last week, her Archbishop, the aptly named Salvatore Cordileone, notified Pelosi that she should no longer present herself for the Holy Eucharist when attending Mass.

‘woke’ Church of England is NOT institutionally racist 6 replies
A well-known conservative U.K. political commentator who has been training for ordination in the priesthood for two years at prestigious Oxford University claims his new career is at a standstill because the Church of England is more about woke than worship. (snip) “Sitting in an ornate study in the Old Deanery – a 17th Century mansion house opposite St Paul’s Cathedral – the Bishop of London put her hand on my arm and quietly said something that left me astounded. ‘Calvin, as a white woman I can tell you that the Church IS institutionally racist,’ the Rt Rev Sarah Mullally told me,” Calvin Robinson recalled in the Daily Mail.
Rep. Liz Cheney formally announced her bid for reelection Thursday, the same day as the publication of a new poll that shows her 30 points behind her main Republican primary challenger.
The survey conducted this week by Club for Growth reported that 56% of Wyoming Republicans would vote for attorney Harriet Hageman while just 26% would back Cheney. Club for Growth, which has endorsed Hageman, also found that 12% of voters are planning to back state Sen. Anthony Bouchard, while 6% are undecided.
A court in Ohio has ruled that a lawsuit from state Attorney General Dave Yost, which labels Google a common carrier subject to special regulations and litigation, can proceed, a significant development for Republicans seeking to hold tech companies accountable for bias and censorship.
Under U.S. law, common carriers are subject to strict regulations about who they can and cannot deny service to. Along with businesses categorized as public accommodations, they are expected to provide service to all paying customers on a non-discriminatory basis. Examples of common carriers in the U.S. include utilities and telecommunications companies.
With the possibility that baby murder will be available only in certain states instead of federally sanctioned, the demonic occupation within the pro-abortion crowd is more evident than ever.
In a video posted to TikTok, a young mother holds her newborn daughter after a feeding. (snip)
In an effort to justify child sacrifice by wrapping it in the phrase "a woman's choice," she coos, "I could have killed you, but I chose to let you live." The woman then turns to the camera, iterating to the viewer that abortion is entirely a woman's choice, and mocks those who, understandably, found the video highly disturbing.
The San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) has banned the word “chief” from job titles because of its connotations with Native American leadership and a fear of offending indigenous people.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Wednesday:
The word “chief” will no longer be used in reference to job titles in the San Francisco Unified School District in an effort, school officials said, to avoid the word’s connotation with Native Americans. In an administrative decision released on Wednesday, the school district decided to retire the term among its 10,000 employees, said spokesperson Gentle Blythe.
Two-Factor authentication has always been a platform ruse for gathering data on platform users. Twitter was just one company amid a large number of on-line platforms who pushed “two factor authentication” as a security measure. The real motive of TFA was to gain the user cell phone number in order to gain more specific information about the user. Today multiple media outlets are reporting the FTC and Twitter have agreed to a settlement where Twitter will pay a $150 million settlement for violating user privacy and selling user data. Twitter collected cell phone and email account information for users under the auspices of user security.
Naomi Osaka, the leftwing activist and former tennis champion who renounced her American citizenship to represent Japan at the Tokyo Olympics, suffered an embarrassing loss in the first round of the French Open on Monday.

Translation: Gun-control legislation.
As reported by CNN, McConnell met with Cornyn early Thursday and encouraged the senior senator from Texas to begin discussions with key Democrats, including Sens. Chris Murphy of Connecticut and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, to see if they can find a middle ground on legislation.

Addressing the mass-shooting that claimed 21 lives in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday, Department of Public Safety Director Steven McGraw acknowledged Friday that responding officers waited too long to breach the classroom where the killing took place.
Speaking to reporters at a press conference held at the scene of the shooting, McGraw said that the on-scene incident commander, Chief of Police Daniel Rodriguez, made the decision to fall back and wait for U.S. Border Patrol Tactical Teams to breach the classroom.
McGraw said the decision to delay entering the classroom was mistaken. According to Texas active shooter doctrine, officers are required to make an immediate breach
President Joe Biden joked to Navy midship on Friday that he pursued football and politics over a military career as he warned them the next 10 years will be a 'decisive decade' in American history. 'Things are changing so rapidly that the next 10 years will be the decisive decade of this century. Because they're going to shape what the world looks like, and the values that will guide it - not just for the immediate future but for generations to come,' Biden said in his commencement address to the Naval Academy.Biden, in his remarks, tore into Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jingping.
The horror surrounding the massacre of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas just got worse with confirmed information that the police waited more than forty minutes before entering the school and killing the 18 year old murderer. One mother who drove to the school from 40 miles away, arrived and was detained and handcuffed for insisting on going inside to rescue her two children. She was then unhandcuffed and moved away from the crowd, jumped the fence and ran inside the school and retrieved her two kids.
Texas cops said last night that they didn't immediately rush in to find the shooter on Tuesday's attack after being shot at because they feared they might be killed, and even suggested that they deliberately locked the gunman in the classroom where he slaughtered 21 people in order to trap him. Department of Safety Lt. Chris Olivarez made the astonishing comments during an appearance on CNN last night.(Snip)'So they were able to contain that gunman inside that classroom so that he was not able to go to any other portions of the school to commit any other killings,' Lt. Olivarez said.
