Elon Musk, the wealthiest man in the world and owner of X/Twitter, has lashed out at advertisers who withdrew their spending from his social network. Musk claims that companies are trying to “blackmail” him with money, telling former advertisers “go f*** yourself. Is that clear? I hope it is.” Variety reports that Elon Musk’s recent outburst at the New York Times’ DealBook Summit has once again made headlines as the Tesla CEO and X/Twitter owner attacked advertisers for pulling their ads from his social media network. Following Musk’s alleged endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory on X/Twitter, several major advertisers, including Disney, IBM, Warner Bros. Discovery, Sony, Comcast, NBCUniversal, and Lionsgate,

I remember Rush stating on one of his shows he spent an entire year investigating advertising manipulation in negative polls against him & the group determined it was a small group of people creating boycotts, contacting advertisers, etc They determined Rush was Not as unpopular as these people were attempting to make everyone believe ... Rush survived!

A witness in a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing on Thursday gave Manhattan and Brooklyn Rep. Dan Goldman a lesson Thursday about the government’s efforts to suppress The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop — saying the Democrat was promoting a “conspiracy theory” that its hard drive had been “manipulated.” “You’ve talked about the Hunter Biden laptop, and how the FBI knew it existed,” Goldman told Substack and “Twitter Files” journalist Michael Shellenberger during a Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government hearing.

'Congratulations! I erased your student loans. Now will you vote for me?' That's what President Biden should have said in an email to more than 800,000 student loan borrowers – because his latest scheme to 'forgive' some of their $1.78 trillion in outstanding debts is nothing more than a bribe. 'Your student loan has been forgiven because of actions my Administration took to make sure you receive the relief you earned and deserve,' read the White House message sent to in-boxes on Tuesday.

Tensions flared during Thursday night’s political showdown as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis went head-to-head with communist California Governor Gavin Newsom. The prime-time debate ushered in a slew of contentious exchanges, one of which saw DeSantis pull up a ‘Poop Map’ to underscore the severity of San Francisco’s public pooping epidemic and the hypocrisy of its leadership. “This is a map of San Francisco,” said DeSantis. “This is an app where they plot the human feces that are found on the streets of San Francisco. Almost the whole thing is covered except when a communist dictator comes to town.

MSNBC has reportedly canceled anchor Mehdi Hasan’s weekend prime-time talk show due to a steep drop in ratings after his expressing anti-Israel views. A source confirmed to the New York Post that MSNBC has been “cutting costs like crazy” and that the network would be axing his show. “I think they thought (Hasan’s) point of view was a little too out of the mainstream, if you know what I mean,” the source told the Post. Hasan will still serve as an on-camera analyst and fill-in host. MSNBC President Rashida Jones told staffers in a memo, however, that the shakeup was part of a plan to revamp the weekend lineup

A New York appeals court on Thursday reinstated a gag order against former President Donald Trump, preventing him from talking about court staff involved in the State of New York’s civil case alleging business fraud against him and his eldest sons. In an order Thursday, the First Judicial Department of the Appellate Division for the Supreme Court of New York vacated an interim relief that blocked Justice Arthur Engoron’s initial gag on Trump, prohibiting him from making public statements about his law clerk, Allison Greenfield. Four justices issued the order on Thursday, including presiding Justice Sallie Manzanet-Daniels and Associate Justices Ellen Gesmer, Saliann Scarpulla, and Llinét M. Rosado.

New York—The Republican National Committee’s rules for next year’s nominating contest and convention were released this week without addressing a question the GOP could well face next summer: Can the party’s delegates vote for a different candidate if the presumptive nominee is convicted of a felony? Former President Donald Trump is under four criminal indictments that will proceed through the GOP primary season, an overlap of legal and political calendars with no precedent in American politics. Fifteen states and American Samoa hold their GOP primaries on March 5, known as Super Tuesday, which is also the day after his first trial is scheduled to begin in Washington on charges that he

The failing, far-left Washington Post has just cut 120 jobs through buyouts and promised layoffs will commence if 120 more liars, I mean staffers, do not accept buyouts. In a memo to liars, I mean staffers, Washington Post CEO Patty Stonesifer said, “We want everyone to understand that we need 240 acceptances to help restore The Post’s financial health. We have made the decision,” she added, “that if we fall short of this goal, to implement involuntary layoffs.” “The layoffs,” she warned, would offer “significantly less generous benefits than the voluntary package.”

The nation’s foreign-born population has hit an unprecedented 49.5 million, the largest ever recorded in American history, under President Joe Biden. Analysis by Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) revealed that in October the foreign-born population reached almost 50 million, increasing by 4.5 million foreign-born residents since Biden took office in January 2021. Put another way, the Biden administration has added more immigrants to the nation’s population than the annual number of U.S. births in fewer than three years.

The Democratic Party does not have a “plan B” if President Joe Biden does not run for reelection “for any reason,” establishment media outlets reported on Thursday. The lack of a “plan B” suggests Biden is putting the Democrat Party in a bind. Many Democrats say Biden is not the best candidate to mount a strong campaign against likely GOP candidate former President Donald Trump. According to a recent survey exclusively reported by Breitbart News, the top three descriptions of Biden by likely registered voters depicted the 81-year-old as low energy. The top three options (out of ten possibilities) respondents chose to describe Biden are:

Say what? As bad as we expected the Antony Blinken Lecture Tour in Jerusalem to be, even I wouldn’t have predicted that a US Secretary of State would have said this to a country victimized by a massive terror attack that killed 1400 people. That is, if Blinken actually told the Israelis that they don’t have enough “credit” to fight Hamas to the finish. The transcript comes from the Times of Israel, which translated it from a Hebrew transcript leaked to Israel’s Channel 12 News. Could something have gotten lost in translation? Perhaps, but it’s not the only eyebrow-raising part of the exchange, either. It begins with Blinken

Joe Biden has apparently noticed that the price of everything is much higher on his watch than a few years ago. He is now asking sellers to just lower their prices. As a viral commercial once said. That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works. Companies don’t lower prices just because inflation is politically inconvenient for the president and his party. (X) From the New York Post: Biden admits prices ‘too high’ but blames sellers for 18% inflation President Biden acknowledged Monday that prices are still “too high” and argued that companies should lower them after an 18% jump in consumer costs since he took office.

Newsom, 56, has talked about eventually running for president but is backing President Joe Biden ‘s reelection in 2024. DeSantis, 45, entered the 2024 GOP presidential race six months ago as the perceived top challenger to Donald Trump, only to fail to dent the former president’s commanding early lead in the party’s primary.

After receiving criticism from experts and climate activists over President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris skipping the global United Nations summit in Dubai, the White House has now decided to send Harris. Reuters reported back in October that Biden wouldn’t be attending the annual conference, though he had attended the climate summits in 2021 and 2022. Biden aides told Reuters that conflict in the Middle East arising out of the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel and the president's reelection campaign were demanding his time.

Sources said the lawyer, Jennifer Little, told investigators Trump "absolutely" understood the warning, which came during a pivotal meeting at Mar-a-Lago with Trump and another attorney, Evan Corcoran, who had recently joined Trump's legal team.
