Twitter is notifying its employees over email if they've been laid off. With differing emails going to now-former workers depending on their location.
Twitter employees affected by mass layoffs under new owner Elon Musk started to realize they'd lost their jobs late Thursday night, as Insider first reported. While they were told by the company earlier in the day they could expect a "workforce reduction" to begin on Friday morning — after Insider reported on such plans — the cuts began suddenly as employees were cut off from access to work tools like email and Slack.
It was not until Friday morning that the employees received promised communication
President Biden said Friday that coal plants are too expensive to operate, and "we're going to be shutting these plants down all across America" in order to shift to wind power in a comment that drew criticism from the Republican National Committee. (Snip) "So it's going to become a wind generation. And all they're doing is it’s going to save them a hell of a lot of money and using the same transmission line that they transmitted the coal-fired electric on, we're going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar power, also providing
The House Judiciary Committee slammed the FBI for 'turning a blind eye' and giving Hunter Biden 'preferential treatment' in a 1,050 page report released Friday.
Senior Republicans claimed the Bureau 'downplayed' the scandal of Hunter's foreign business deals and potential illegal activity in the weeks before the 2020 presidential election and 'even colluded with social media platform Facebook to suppress information.'
The report pointed to an interview in August this year of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg on the Joe Rogan Experience, in which Zuckerberg admitted his company censored stories about Joe Biden's involvement in Hunter's business dealings after the FBI warned them to be on 'on high alert' for 'Russian propaganda'.
A secret Sept. 1 meeting may have put Hakeem Jeffries on the map to replace California representative Nancy Pelosi’s role as top House Democrat, Politico reports.
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn of South Carolina and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, who chairs the House Democratic Caucus, met up at Clyburn’s office during the summer congressional recess, according to the outlet. Jeffries became aware of a “quiet campaign” from California Rep. Adam Schiff for the speakership, inspiring the New York congressman to fly out to California and speak with Clyburn. At the meeting, Clyburn reportedly expressed his full support for Jeffries’ bid.
NBC News has pulled a bombshell report that claimed Paul Pelosi did not tell responding police officers that he was in danger just before he was injured in a hammer attack at his San Francisco home last week.
The clip posted by the media outlet early Friday morning cited sources (snip)that claimed the husband of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not declare an emergency or say he was in distress when cops showed up at his door in response to his 911 call.

The establishment media have ignored the physical attack against Republican New Hampshire candidate Gen. Don Bolduc.
The three top establishment newspapers, the New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times, all failed to report the physical attack on Gen. Bolduc that occurred moments before Wednesday’s debate with Democrat Maggie Hassan (D-NH).
The media’s decision to not report on the act of political violence against a Republican is notable. Attacks against Republicans run counter to the media’s narrative of violence singly perpetrated by Republicans.
Joe Biden Thursday evening traveled to San Diego, California to campaign for Democrat congressional candidate Mike Levin.
Biden had a very grueling schedule on Thursday so he fell apart at the end of the day.
His meds wore off.
At one point Joe Biden told the SoCal crowd that Republican lawmakers are going to impeach him if they take back the House and Senate. Earlier this year, GOP Senator Ted Cruz said Biden will be impeached if the Republicans take back the House since the Democrats weaponized impeachment with Trump, “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”
Pollster and senior counsel to former President Trump, Kellyanne Conway, appeared at an event for the Christian Science Monitor and made the bold prediction that her former boss will announce that he is running for the presidency in 2024 “soon.” (Video) Trump has indicated previously that he wanted the midterm elections to play out before he made an announcement. He didn’t want to detract from conservative candidates seeking to take part in a political realignment in the United States during the red wave expected to sweep the elections this month.
“I think you can expect him to announce soon,” Conway said
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett once again denied an emergency application Friday to block President Biden’s multi-billion dollar student loan bailout.
Two Indiana men, Frank Garrison and Noel Johnson, had asked Barrett to stay the program from going into effect while they appeal the dismissal of their initial suit by an Indiana federal judge.
Johnson and Garrison, an attorney at the libertarian Pacific Legal Foundation, had argued that the automatic forgiveness of their student loan debt would cause them irreparable harm by sticking them with a hefty state tax bill.
The third-ranking House Democrat played the Nazi card ahead of expected Republican wins in next week’s midterm elections, claiming the US is “on track to repeat what happened in Germany.”
House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) raised eyebrows by describing Weimar Germany as “the greatest democracy going when it elected a chancellor that then co-opted the media” in an interview with Fox News Digital.
“This past president called the press the enemy of the people,” he continued, referring to former President Donald Trump. “That is a bunch of crap. And that is what’s going on in this country.”
Social media users were quick to call out Clyburn’s comments, with many mocking
Absentee ballot fraud has been uncovered in a 2022 midterms battleground state. The alleged plot involves a Milwaukee election official requesting military ballots and sending them to a Republican lawmaker.
A Milwaukee election official could face criminal charges accusing her of fraudulently requesting absentee ballots reserved for members of the military.

The Babylon Bee is a great satire site, with a real talent for making some truly fun stuff.
Recently, we brought you some of their humor from their “Californians who moved to Texas” series. The California couple went canvassing for Beto O’Rourke in a deep red area of Texas, with special guest Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) — who revealed his true identity as the Zodiac Killer — with a twist at the end of the video.
Now they’re out with another one — a Democrat midterm ad — about how we moved from the “time of darkness” under the “Orange Man” who was “literally Hitler” to Joe Biden who “saved” America.
In the same glorious week election-deniers Jake Tapper and Shepard Smith were respectively demoted and left without a show, conspiracy theorist Tiffany Cross was shown the door at MSNBC.
After two years at the far-left outlet, Cross, who hosted a Saturday show called Cross Connection, had become infamous and a running joke for spreading wild-eyed conspiracy theories, most of which were based on what you might call racial paranoia.

Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman recreated the classic 1979 Coca-Cola advertisement featuring football legend ‘Mean’ Joe Greene in a bizarre video during his failed 2016 U.S. Senate campaign.
The original Coca-Cola advertisement began with Greene, a Pittsburgh Steelers legend, hobbling down the tunnel after a game when a child approaches him to offer a coke. Greene accepts it and tosses this child his jersey, saying, “thanks, kid.”
In an attempt to use the classic commercial and the Steelers’ popularity to appeal to Western Pennsylvania voters, the Democrat recreated the advertisement in 2016 in a low-quality video entitled “‘Mean John’ Fetterman.”

Human sexual dimorphism—the predictable and consistent physical differences between males and females—is undeniable. Ironically, even trans activists acknowledge this fact when they seek to use surgery and psychotropic drugs to modify their bodies to resemble the opposite sex. That they can’t get past nature is not surprising since the categories of male and female are mutually exclusive. No matter how close a male gets to female morphology, there is an infinitely deep chasm between the two categories.
While both men and women feature a wide spectrum of every trait, at no point do these differences cross over into the other sex.

With elections a few days away, crime statistics are finally being widely discussed in the press. So…I’m not going to pass up one last chance to deluge you with new graphs based on the CDC’s WONDER database of causes of death.
Democratic politicians have been flailing about looking for a way to get off the hook for the historic increase in murder and car crash mayhem ever since our respectable class’ leaders declared “the racial reckoning” was at hand following the unfortunate expiration of George Floyd on May 25, 2020.

Elon Musk began firing hundreds of Twitter employees on Friday, four days before the midterm elections, including key members of the teams that work on U.S. elections and content moderation on the high-profile social-media platform.
Tweets flooded the platform on Friday, many using the hashtags #LoveWhereYouWork and #OneTeam, as employees let others know that they had been let go. Many of those posting had previously worked in roles including public policy, trust and safety, communications, engineering, marketing and human resources.
The Florida Board of Medicine and state Board of Osteopathic Medicine voted Friday to ban puberty blockers and sex-reassignment surgery as treatments for transgender minors in the state.
The board of medicine voted 6-3, with five others not present, on Friday to forbid doctors from prescribing puberty blockers and hormones or performing surgeries until a patient is 18.
The Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine also voted to ban the use of puberty blockers and sex-reassignment surgery in new patients who are minors but allowed an exception for children enrolled in clinical studies.
Executives from Facebook and Twitter, including the recently-fired head of trust & safety Vijaya Gadde, held regular meetings with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to discuss censorship on a wide range of topics, including the withdrawal from Afghanistan, coronavirus, and “racial justice,” according to leaked documents.
The information came to light via leaks to the Intercept, as well as documents and minutes revealed through Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s lawsuit filed against the Biden Administration that alleges government collusion with Big Tech to suppress Americans’ First Amendment rights.
Liz versus Tulsi
replies
I call it the battle of turncoats. I trust neither Liz Cheney nor Tulsi Gabbard. The fact that both opposed Trump (oh yes, the little surfer girl ran for president as a Never Trump Democrat) is part of it. But mainly I distrust them because they have turned on their own parties.
Of the two, Liz has it harder because her switch is to Democrats in a Republican year. She went down to Arizona to try and save Secretary of State Katie Hobbs from the Queen of MAGA, Kari Lake. It is almost unfair.
Tulsi stayed home and tweeted, "Kari Lake is a leader who puts people first, is fighting for border
In an election year that has Democrats often using the “extremist” label on the GOP to distract from the country’s economic problems, experts say that the rush by mainstream media to blame “right-wing extremism” for the attack on the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calf.), has actually harmed the Democrats,

Let’s be real, it’s not looking good for Democrats. Many of them are pretty much guaranteed to lose their respective races and others are feeling the heat of a competitive race with their opponent just at their back. The overtake could happen at any moment.
So it’s time to break out the big guns…dancing.
That’s right. The age-old strategy of gyrating and hopping for the approval of the masses is what lies at the bottom of the barrel in terms of Democrat Party strategies and you can see the trend happening all across TikTok. Below are a few selections that I’ve come across so far.
First, here’s Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer
NBC News reported significant new details in the investigation into last week’s attack on Paul Pelosi on Friday — and then promptly retracted the report as soon as those details began circulating online.
In a Today Show segment that aired Friday morning, NBC News anchor Miguel Almaguer reported that Pelosi reacted in an unusual way to the arrival of police officers after calling 911 because a deranged, underwear-clad man had broken into his house and was searching for his wife, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
“The front door was opened by Mr. Pelosi. He did not declare an emergency or try to leave his home, instead began walking several
The days are continuing to fly by as the 2022 election approaches, and Democrats are becoming more and more unhinged. Some, including those in the White House, are already preparing their spin as the probable red wave approaches. Others, such as Jim Clyburn are melting down in other ways.
Clyburn recently appeared on Fox News Digital and jumped off the deep in a last-ditch effort to scare people into voting Democrat. After blaming Republicans for the bizarre attack on Paul Pelosi, an assertion not backed by current evidence, the House Majority Whip dropped this warning. [Video]

Despite the human tragedy that doctors and nurses witness on a daily basis in the emergency room, there’s often a reluctance to ever show any emotion. No tears, no panic, no breakdowns – at least not in front of others. “Vulnerability in healthcare is a pretty precious commodity,” said Dr. Mitch Radin, a Clinical Psychologist at Hennepin Healthcare Medical Center (HCMC) in downtown Minneapolis. Radin is now trying to change those unwritten rules inside one of the busiest emergency rooms in the state. “There’s a kind of belief that if people get too close to their emotions, or let anything
Voter turnout in Colorado’s early voting is lagging behind figures reported at this stage in the last midterm election, local NPR news outlet KUNC reported this week. Ballots returned by Monday showed that roughly 75,000 fewer Coloradans have cast their votes a week ahead of the Nov. 8 election than at this time in 2018. Unaffiliated voters, who make up the majority of Colorado’s voting base with Democrats coming in second and Republicans in third, have cast the greatest number of early ballots.

NEW YORK - Kroger Co's acquisition of Albertsons Companies Inc could exacerbate income inequality through job losses and eroding wages at a time of high inflation, a group of the retailers' biggest unions and antitrust experts wrote in a letter seen by Reuters on Thursday.
"In many markets across the country, grocery competition would cease, likely resulting in employee layoffs and higher prices," they wrote in a letter addressed to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) chair Lina Khan, urging the agency to block the deal.
"The merger should be blocked, as it would harm workers, consumers and communities," said the United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 400, who authored
Let me just say a heartfelt “thank you” to whoever the Democrat was who came up with the idea of spending almost $50 million in the Republican primaries to influence who our candidates would be. There was a good chance some squishy Mitt Romney-type “moderates” would win in those primaries, thanks to you we ended up with solid conservatives. Thank you very much.
I know it bothers you that Kari Lake ended up being the best candidate for any office across the country this cycle rather than the drooling Neanderthal you thought she was. Were it not for your meddling, she might not have won the nomination.
Let me be clear, I don’t give a damn about what happened to Paul Pelosi. It’s not that I want harm to come to the guy, I don’t want harm to come to almost anyone, but if the left is going to use his attack to smear me and my side of the political aisle, why the hell would I care about the person being used to facilitate it? The whole thing has a Jussie Smollett feel to it, to be honest, where everything “reported” fits perfectly into what Democrats need it to be and the truth, as is always the case with these people, isn’t even a consideration.
A top Democrat in Georgia has chosen to shun his party's gubernatorial nominee, Stacey Abrams, and instead throw his support behind incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, Burt Jones.
Kwanza Hall, the former Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor who lost in a runoff to the current Democratic lieutenant governor nominee, Charlie Bailey, made his announcement Friday, citing Kemp's ability to make "tough decisions" in "unprecedented circumstances," and Jones' plans to reduce crime and improve the state's education system.
"While we don’t agree on every issue, it’s abundantly clear that Brian Kemp is a man of character, a strong leader, and someone who Georgians can trust
Former Attorney General Bill Barr didn’t want accountability at the DOJ and the FBI. He proved this by his actions for two years by not addressing the massive corruption in these institutions.
By not addressing the corruption, the DOJ and FBI have only gotten worse. Bill Barr now says he was hoping that there’d be accountability at the FBI.

OLYMPIA — A mailer sent to voters in Washington and across the country this week, appearing to target Asian American voters, has drawn local and national criticism for claiming equity policies discriminate against Asian American and white people.

The other side says “Joe Biden and left wing officials are engaged in widespread racial discrimination against white and Asian Americans … even though it’s against the law.”
A New York jury Friday found Trump confidant and billionaire Thomas Barrack not guilty of all charges in his trial on federal foreign lobbying allegations.
Barrack, a 75-year-old investor who was an adviser to former President Donald Trump and chair of his Inaugural Committee, was accused of using his connections to Trump's administration to try to sway U.S. foreign policy for a client, the United Arab Emirates.
Prosecutors portrayed Barrack as a businessman "campaigning for cash," out to use his White House ties to add a lucrative client to his investment portfolio. Barrack's defense said he was using his ties to the Middle East and the
“Wake up, America! Wake up!” John Lewis shouted at the 1963 March on Washington.

House Republicans on the Judiciary Committee released a 1,000-page report on Friday outlining how the FBI and Justice Department have abandoned their commitment to political neutrality in recent years.
The report, which relies heavily on whistleblower accounts, is set to serve as a roadmap for the oversight investigation into the politicization of federal law enforcement that Republicans will undertake should they reclaim a House majority in next week’s midterm elections. The probe will be led by Representative Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), who is expected to become chairman of the Judiciary Committee if Republicans take the House.
One of my graduate history professors made a statement in class once I have never forgotten: “Before you study the history, study the historian." This is indeed insightful. His meaning was simply that historians are people, too, and we are influenced by our beliefs, culture, traditions, etc. like anyone else. A good historian will try, as best as possible, to tell the historical “story” as accurately as he/she can, and such is not impossible. I firmly believe historical truth can be discovered. But there does exist a near-infinite amount of historical data available, and a historian does have to choose which of that data he uses.

With only a few days left until the 2022 midterms, Newsweek laments a new poll by Redfield and Wilton Strategies showing that 40 percent of Americans still believe that the 2020 presidential election was "rigged or stolen." (snip) Newsweek buries this particular poll's more interesting observations. For example, only 36 percent of respondents disagree that the 2020 election was rigged or stolen. Of that group, more than one in three find it "understandable" that others might believe that the election was rigged or stolen. Another 15 percent of respondents neither agreed nor disagreed, and 8 percent signified that they "didn't know."
Former President Donald Trump plans to formally announce his long-teased third run for the White House later this month, two sources told The Post Friday.
One source added that Nov. 14, the Monday after the midterm elections, is the likely date the 45th president will launch his bid. Another source said an announcement would come sometime this month, but they had not heard of a specific date being set.
The potential announcement date, six days after Republicans are expected to post big gains in the House and Senate, was first reported by Axios, which cited three sources familiar with the “sensitive discussions.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and House Republicans are gearing up to investigate the Biden administration over a variety of issues should the GOP retake the House in the midterms this November, according to several discussions with ranking members of Congress and McCarthy. Topping the list of GOP targets are Biden’s DOJ, the Department of Education and the border crisis. Republicans also intend to prioritize inflation, COVID origins and Big Tech.
The Democrats’ Insurrection Flop

If there is a poster child for the Democrats’ humiliating failure to make the events surrounding January 6, 2021 a winning issue in the midterm elections, it is U.S. Representative Elaine Luria (D-Va.).
The two-term congresswoman is fighting for her political life in a race now categorized as a toss-up; a recent poll showed Luria tied with Republican State Senator Jen Kiggans just a few weeks before an expected red wave election, despite Luria outspending Kiggans by a more than 2-1 margin. (Before the state’s remap process, Luria represented a district that voted for Joe Biden by 5 percentage points and Hillary Clinton by 6 percentage points.
No, I haven’t changed my mind about early voting. It’s still not a relevant story, as the Election Day vote usually chips away at Democratic Party advantages. No one has a crystal ball that’s infallible to see how women, nonwhites, suburban, rural, independents, etc., will cast their ballots. Did anyone think Democrats would screw things up so severely that suburban white women have moved away from them by a 26-point margin? Did anyone think that 21 percent of Black Americans would support Republicans this year?
In the fall of 1860, Tommy Wilson was four years old. As he stood near the front gate of his Augusta, Georgia home a local told him that Abraham Lincoln had been elected president and now there would be war. Tommy’s father, a Presbyterian minister, would turn his flock against the denomination’s opposition to slavery that was foundational to the South’s rebellion. Joseph Wilson helped found the new Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States of America. President Biden was recently observed reading a book about President Lincoln -- And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle by John Meacham.

A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Twitter over Elon Musk’s plan to sack thousands of staffers — as employees were abruptly locked out of their company Slack and email accounts, and barred from going into the office ahead of the mass layoffs Friday.
The lawsuit was filed Thursday in San Francisco federal court after the company notified employees it would eliminate some 3,700 jobs, half its workforce, Bloomberg News reported.
It alleges that employees weren’t given enough notice of the mass layoffs in violation of federal and California law.

Benjamin Franklin was a prodigious inventor. He created devices to fulfill a need or desire. We find nothing strange about this today, it is a classic description of how the marketplace operates.
We forget that in Europe, before and during colonial times, there was an upper class and commoners.

Commoners stayed desperately poor.

There is something wrong with Pennsylvania Democrat U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman, celebrity psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw told Joe Rogan, host of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” during a recent episode, explaining the problem begins “with his brain.”

David Strom at Hot Air noticed something in the Democrats’ campaign messaging as the midterm elections draw near. Namely, the emergence of a talking point about how if Republicans win control of Congress they will “crash the economy.” There’s only one reason to say this. Democrats know they’ve set the economy on course to crash and they’re hoping to blame Republicans when it does.
Describing Republicans as a threat to democracy hasn’t swayed voters, and not for lack of trying. President Biden gave a speech on Wednesday once again accusing Republicans of this crime. His party has only lost support despite two years of pushing this line.

But the Democratic Party I once supported is unrecognizable, and my political association with it is no longer. On Sunday, for the first time in my life, I voted Republican and did it without hesitation.
MSNBC presidential historian Michael Beschloss said Wednesday on “All In” said that if Republicans take the majorities in Congress, American democracy will end, and “our children” will be jailed and killed by a “brutal authoritarian system.”
Beschloss said, “Six nights from now, we could all be discussing violence all over this country. There’s signs that may happen, may God forbid. That losers will be declared winners by a fraudulent election officers, or a secretary of state candidates, or governors, or state legislatures. We could be six days away from losing our rule of law and losing a situation where we have elections that we all can rely on.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that once Elon Musk’s $44 billion transaction for the social network is completed, he will reportedly terminate approximately 75% of Twitter’s staff.
In October, Steve Bannon shared during his sit-down interview with OANN New York correspondent Caitlin Sinclair that he had been informed by reliable sources that Twitter had offered Elon Musk a price cut in exchange for his commitment to two conditions.
Seven months ago, an intrepid PJ Media columnist with wonderful hair opined that the transgender movement would bring down the ultra-commies running the Democrat party.
While the Democrats were attacking white Christians for believing women are women and men are not, they never thought the Muslim community might have a say in all this. They do.
We are less than a week before the midterms, and the Democrats are in panic mode. They didn’t learn from Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s victory last November — don’t mess with people’s kids — and they didn’t see themselves possibly losing Michigan.
Wayne County, Mich., which includes Detroit, has been a fortress for Democrats for decades.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joined MSNBC host Joy Reid on her show to ridiculously and falsely assert that Republicans don’t really care about crime because they’re somehow okay with Paul Pelosi’s vicious attack.
“Republicans claim you should vote for them because they’re tough on crime. But when one of their cult members commits a crime against Paul Pelosi, they couldn’t care less,” Clinton tweeted with a clip from the sitdown.
It was a “basket of deplorables” moment and was nothing short of disgusting. Her raging ego evidently knows no bounds.
“So, you know, I played that last little montage

Women Are over Roe replies
Left-wing activist and filmmaker Michael Moore said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that Democrats will keep control of Congress in the midterms because the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
More said, “They’re not going to win next Tuesday. I know it seems like I take a minority position on this because the media is full of a lot of how the Republicans are surging and the Republicans are doing so well, and so this race we’re going to lose.”
He continued, “Actually, we’re not going to lose. There’s more of us than there are them, and to believe that we’re going to lose on Tuesday, they’re going to take over Tuesday,
A controversial Brooklyn judge is secretly considering cutting a deal that would give a gangbanger a slap-on-the-wrist sentence in an attempted murder case — as long as he says he’s sorry, The Post has learned. Acting Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Laura Johnson has been weighing sentencing accused gunman Donte Simpson to just five years behind bars for the May 2021 shooting that left the 17-year-old victim paralyzed for life, law enforcement sources said.
