They will find few places on the net that reach anywhere near as many of their target audience. TikTok is mostly kids who don't make buying decisions. And I assume they're already in Facebook. That's it. Good luck.

Sigh....another betrayal. I'm sure many here recall standing in defense of Walmart when the Lefties denigrated it as a shopping mecca for flyover rednecks who, out of necessity and/or preference, shopped there for good buys. Also now on the list is Chick-fil-A. I drove many miles to find one to make a purchase in support of their stand on social issues. And, maybe the worst of the lot: Darth Cheney. My goodness, so many of us strongly supported what, back then, was seen as his fearless strength in the face of relentless attack. Now, bad enough that he is just another backstabbing ingrate, but his evil spawn is spreading her filth and duplicity on any open media she can find, spitting in our faces. Many more names/institutions can be added to this list, but I'd be remiss not to mention Romney and Ryan. Openly advertising their loathing of our values and showing zero respect for the support we so fully honored them with as our candidates, they probably deserve their own list.

This may be the end of the line for X, formerly Twitter. You can bet that the goverment is behind the Media Matter hoax and pressure on their largest advertisers to leave the platform. The government can't have a free speech platform operating with X's influence without subservience to DHS censorship and propaganda. Prior to Musk acquiring Twitter, they were secretly funded (and run) by the government with free access to government servers and databases. No more. Now they have billions in debt to service and hundreds of millions in costs for contracts to Google and Amazon for the use of their servers. This is a takedown, probably all for the outcome of the 2024 election.

I am very disappointed by this action of Walmart. I thought they were an American company in business to provide the goods and services their customers wanted. There is no need for them to veer off into politics. While on the topic, I am puzzled by these companies removing their advertising from X because when I browse X I see no ads.

Sam Walton founded WalMart and was proud that all things in his store were built in America. Then when cost of living went up he reluctantly said some things would be from overseas like in China. His heirs seem to have just abandoned the concept of trying to find made in America items. They have gone from a place for middle class people to shop and get good quality at a reasonable price to a Dollar General on a large scale. Not that Dollar General doesn't provide to its customers... it not what WalMart was suppose to be.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin warned at the Reagan National Defense Forum on Saturday that Israel could face “strategic defeat” if it was not more careful about how it fought Hamas, because more Palestinians might be driven to support the terrorist group . (X Video) Austin seemed not to know that the vast majority of Palestinians already support Hamas, at least in one recent opinion poll. A wartime poll of Gaza and West Bank residents last month by Birzeit University’s Arab World for Research & Development (AWRAD) found that “the majority of (59%) strongly supported or (16%) supported to some extent the October 7 attacks carried by the Hamas-led factions.”

The EU has something called End-of-life vehicles directive, and they are looking to expand this to become so draconian that it reminds of something that would have happened in the Communist Soviet Union. A new set of criteria will be established that will decide whether you will be allowed to keep your car. If your car does not meet the criteria, the EU will seize your car and scrap it.
