One of Google's billionaire founders is the latest tech giant to cozy up to Donald Trump, dining with the president-elect at his Mar-a-Lago home on Thursday night, according to multiple sources. It is a remarkable turnaround for Sergey Brin, who described Trump's 2016 win as 'deeply offensive.' But it shows how the online aristocracy is having to set aside their worries to grapple with a new reality. Details of his visit emerged hours after Facebook's parent company Meta and Amazon revealed they were giving $1million to Trump's inauguration fund. All of them are playing catch-up

I think Trump KNOWS who these people are and THEY know they will pay a price for continuing to act as they have. The legacy media should certainly serve as an object lesson to the big tech companies. Trump simply called them out as "Fake News" and, about 8 years later, they have been CRUSHED. Why did this resonate so powerfully? Because it was true, Trump refused to wilt when facing them, and eventually they were shown to be liars. All through the process Trump was under vicious attack and stood firm. Now Trump is out from under the lies and triumphant. The people/companies that oppose him, do so at much greater peril simply because his standing is now rock solid. And to be clear, Trump isn't asking for preferential favors from these people. He is looking for honest and fair treatment, which is what they SHOULD have been giving him all along. As unexamined support is withdrawn from Leftist liars, they are going to be standing alone and their lies will become obvious. What will happen if Google's search engine becomes less biased against Conservative ideas? Or Facebook allows criticism and counter arguments of Leftist dogma without banning people. How about the WaaPoo actually trying to be a more balanced paper? There are already significant cracks in the Leftist thought wall. All the above may not happen fully but SOME of it will and the more counter programming to Leftism that is allowed the faster the Left will continue to collapse. The industry leaders visiting Trump can see the writing on the wall and KNOW they cannot continue as before. What will come of this is not assured but the momentum is definitely in a positive direction. These leaders know that Trump and others will be watching them and RESULTS will matter more than "bending the knee" in Florida.

All these tech titans are coming to kiss the ring and grovel to tell the king they will support him and want to help. I think Trump will accept their grovelling and keep them at arms length. I think their motivations are fear that Trump will investigate their companies for influencing elections by shutting down free speech and controlling the narrative.

These snakes are trying to do damage control, after they openly opposed Trump and used their popular products to provide interference for the Democrats in every election since Y2K. The only tech leader plausibly trustworthy would be Elon, who stuck his own neck out to support Trump BEFORE Trump's electoral victory.

Maybe the executives at Google should have done a search on “Bud Light” before introducing its new Christmas advertisement. Alas, marketing executives in Big Tech are still as dense as Alyssa “Fratty” Heinerscheid, the genius behind the Dylan Mulvaney marketing campaign that managed to shed massive amounts of market share the same way that you’ll probably want to be shedding those post-holiday pounds come Jan. 1. The difference is, she was actually successful, so much so that she was out of a job and Mulvaney has become more of a punchline than a transgender TikTok “influencer.”

Round of applause for Govs. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Greg Abbott (R-TX)! Two of Hollywood’s biggest liberals just admitted that Republicans bussing illegal immigrants to Democrat-led states was the “smartest” thing they could have done. Former daytime talk show host Katie Couric and American political strategist for the Democratic Party Jessica Tarlov praised the GOP’s move of shipping illegal aliens to the Democrat governor’s doorstep when the effects of the Biden-Harris Administration’s immigration crisis were at its worst. “I thought it was a stunt when they started bussing migrants to Martha's vineyard ... it was the smartest thing they ever did,” Tarlov said.

Gaslighting as usual, the White House is telling Americans freaked out by the drones hovering ominously over parts of New York and New Jersey: Everything’s fine! Just trust us! Since the first known spotting Nov. 18, at least 3,000 sightings have followed in New Jersey alone, and it’s spread to Staten Island and The Bronx. Guesses as to what’s going on proliferate, some more believable than others: more Chinese surveillance, launches from an Iranian mothership parked off the East Coast, and so on.

The mystery surrounding the sightings in New Jersey just took another twist. An ABC 7 News Crew this morning recorded several seconds of video of a strange, white orb on camera floating around in the Mendham Township sky while doing an update on suspicious drone sightings across the Garden State. The reporter says they have “no idea what it is.” She then explains that this is why so many New Jersey officials are urging residents to send videos so that “experts” can determine what the objects in the sky are. As one can see, this does not look like a drone or any known earthly phenomenon.

Joe Biden and the Dem apparat around him have made it plain: They are going to do as much damage to America as they can on the way out the door. Last week brought a record number of presidential pardons, including 1,500 commutations of the sentences of “nonviolent” felons, most of whom were already serving their sentences at home after being sprung from prison during COVID. Except the White House upped the count by overlooking some truly heinous offenses: a Pennsylvania judge who took bribes to send kids to a for-profit “detention” center; an Illinois clerk who embezzled over $53 million from a town of just 15,000 people;

The National Spelling Bee Goes Woke: Women

If your third-grader is competing in the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee, good news: “W-O-M-Y-N” is now an acceptable spelling of “women.” (What a time to be alive!) In fact, “W-O-M-Y-N” is explicitly listed on the National Spelling Bee’s list of 50 “study words” that’s distributed to third-graders. Nobody knows when spoken language began, but written language developed independently in Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and Mesoamerica. Presumably, shortly after the emergence of writing, was the emergence of the crotchety, ornery, spinster schoolteacher who’d shame you before the class when you misspelled a word. And now, the proper spelling of women is “W-O-M-Y-N.”

The satellite images taken Thursday by commercial operator Maxar Technologies shows three Iranian drone ships in the waters off the country’s coast as theories have swirled in the US that Iran could be behind the mysterious drone sightings across the tri-state area, according to Business Insider.

The maritime agency then reported seeing spotted 13 drones following their boat, estimating that the devices had a wingspan of eight feet.
