No One Should Be Fooled by Zuckerberg’s
Supposed About-Face on Trump
Posted By: mc squared, 1/16/2025 11:54:09 AM
Under Mark Zuckerberg’s leadership, Meta Platforms – what most people think of as Facebook – has demonstrated a pattern of actions that starkly contradict its professed commitment to free speech. This duplicity not only undermines public trust but also raises serious concerns about the company’s role in shaping public discourse. A glaring example of Meta’s hypocrisy is its handling of political figures. Don’t forget that they proudly throttled posts about Hunter Biden’s laptop in the final weeks of the 2020 presidential election to protect Joe Biden, even having a Facebook spokesman post on Twitter that they were doing so.

Remain Open Despite Losing $7,000 a Day
to Theft 24 replies
The Safeway Food Store in the Filmore District of San Francisco has been beset with shoplifters and other criminal activity for years. The company finally decided in December that it had enough and was closing the doors of the store for good.
George Gibbs, a long-time shopper at the store, acknowledges the problems. "I've seen people running out the door with stuff and running across the parking lot," he said. "I've seen folks walk out in handcuffs for stealing something."
Black Lives Matter activists are now demanding that the store stay open or that another low-cost food store take its place.
The Baronesses Won't Save You

I hope that, after Monday's jubilations, Donald J Trump remembers that it is all about transformative unskilled mass migration. When you change the people, you change everything - from affordable housing, functioning hospitals and semi-competent public education all the way up to gang crime, rape and murder. Ask an elderly Swede who had the good fortune to live most of her life in one of the most agreeable societies on earth: [snip for X posting} Somalis should be in Somalia, not Sweden. By moving them in large numbers to Sweden, Sweden has set itself on the path to extinguishing itself.
Journalists and aides to President Biden are seething over White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s refusal to let a national security expert discuss the tentative Israel-Hamas cease-fire at her final briefing Wednesday — deeming the occasion her “goodbye party.”
The press secretary’s spotlight-stealing forced the nation to wait an extra hour to learn details of the American hostages being released, including their names — with Jean-Pierre herself providing no new information at her 306th and last briefing and referring reporters to a National Security Council background call that got underway after she left the stage.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan personally asked for his top spokesman, John Kirby
Is there anything Donald Trump can't do...or can't be blamed for?
I just finished a post on how his mere election was enough to lift economic confidence boats across the choppy waters of commerce, from consumers to small business to the like of Goldman Sachs.
And now comes this news that the state willing to put off taking care of their suffering wildfire victims because it's more important they 'Trump-proof' their whack-job woke policies...has suddenly thrown in the towel at the looming inauguration of that very nemesis [snip]
Newsom's Electric Truck mandate was going to be nearly the final nail in the commerce coffin.

Don’t forget that they proudly throttled posts about Hunter Biden’s laptop in the final weeks of the 2020 presidential election to protect Joe Biden, even having a Facebook spokesman post on Twitter that they were doing so.
Sen. Jack Reed (R.I), the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump’s pick to head the Department of Defense, that he is plainly unqualified and lacks the necessary character to lead the nation’s armed forces.
I do not believe that you are qualified to meet the overwhelming demands of this job. We must acknowledge the concerning public reports against you,” Reed said in a stinging opening statement at Hegseth confirmation hearing, which began at 9:30 a.m. EST Tuesday morning.
Reed said committee members must pay close attention to allegations of sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement against Hegseth in recent years.
An Imam at the Inaugural

~A week from today, America's uniquely unique "peaceful transition of power" will (supposedly) be over and Donald J Trump will be beginning his first full day as America's forty-seventh president. As I said the day after his tremendous victory, he should skip all the inaugural bollocks in DC and just have a brisk businesslike swearing-in on the Rio Grande by a justice of the peace (Coolidge-style) followed by 47's personal arrest and deportation of the first "undocumented" migrant to attempt to walk into America on his watch. It was a wholly serious suggestion - because America is dying before your eyes and there is no time to waste.
Apparently there aren't enough lesbian first responders in Appalachia, because the Biden administration has decided to leave the victims of Hurricane Helene out in the cold.
Literally out in the cold. As a major snowstorm barrels into Western North Carolina, FEMA has decided to kick North Carolinians who have seen their lives upended by the hurricane out of their temporary shelters and into their pickup trucks to ride it out with their kids.
I follow a lot of people on X who are still engaged in the relief effort, and the cleanup is nowhere near done.
Dramatic video footage captured the moment a 69-year-old homeless man stabbed the thugs who mercilessly terrorized him on a Queens subway train, killing one and wounding another.
In a twist of transit justice, it’s the surviving goons who are now behind bars, prosecutors said.
“The victim was accosted, without provocation, and our investigation has shown that he defended himself while attempting to retrieve his property,” Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement Wednesday.
Be careful what you wish for.
A vocal proponent of the state’s controversial congestion pricing plan who is nudging New Yorkers into the city’s troubled transit system was attacked at a Manhattan subway station over the weekend.
Layla Law-Gisiko, president of the City Club of New York, which sued Gov. Kathy Hochul to implement the unpopular toll for motorists driving into Manhattan, said she was left bruised and battered after the Saturday afternoon attack at the 23rd Street station.
Today at around 3:30 PM, I entered the subway station at 23rd Street and 5th Avenue,” Law-Gisiko, 53, wrote in a post on X following the attack.
Please President Trump, Don't Annex Canada!

Canada is a lovely country with many lovely people. And while its federal government is dysfunctional and occasionally tyrannical when it comes to defending civil rights, it has much to offer. It has a well-educated populace with remarkably good manners, some fine educational institutions, and a largely functioning economy. I suggest that we only take half the country and leave the rest to sink or swim on its own. [snip] But then what? After all, this is a country that suffered under Justin Trudeau for nine years! Something must be wrong with it--at least with certain parts of Canada.
The Biden administration is banning certain natural gas water heaters from the market as part of its climate change agenda, a move critics say will jack up energy costs for low-income and senior households.
The move in the final days of the administration will take non-condensing, natural gas-fired water heaters off the shelves by 2029 in a bid to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which climate change advocates and President Biden say cause global warming.
The new rules will require new tankless gas water heaters to use about 13% less energy than today’s least efficient tankless models.

Hunter Biden has reportedly lost hundreds of his treasured artworks in the Los Angeles wildfires.
According to The New York Post, Hunter’s artworks went up in flames as wildfires continued to ravage the city, leaving thousands of properties in its wake.

Toxic RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski (AK) was asked whether she will confirm Trump’s nominees on Thursday as confirmations hearings were underway.
Several of Trump’s Cabinet nominees have faced questioning from senators this week.
A Daily Caller reporter caught up with Lisa Murkowski and asked her whether she will vote to confirm Trump’s Cabinet picks.
Murkowski said it’s “premature.”
“I think it’s premature to ask where I will be on any nominee until this process actually gets moving. I’m doing what I do best which is learning a lot,” Murkowski said.

Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii faced mockery on social media on Thursday over her opening questions to Interior Secretary nominee Doug Burgum during his confirmation hearing. "As part of my responsibilities to ensure the fitness of nominees before any of the committees on which I sit, I ask the following two initial questions," Hirono said to Burgum on Thursday. "First is, since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?"
"No, senator, I have not," Burgum responded.
"Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to
President Joe Biden on Jan. 17 announced he has ratified the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), despite the U.S. archivist recently saying the president could not ratify the constitutional amendment.(snip)
The U.S. archivist and U.S. deputy archivist said in late 2024 that the president could not ratify the amendment because the amendment did not receive the required support from three-fourths of the states by the deadline Congress imposed, which was June 30, 1982.
The Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel in 2020, while Donald Trump was president, and in 2022, after Biden took office, also said that ratification cannot occur unless Congress or the courts extend or remove the ratification deadline.

While the spokesperson did not disclose a reason why Pelosi will be absent from the event to ABC News, the longtime California lawmaker claimed in a January 5 episode of CBS’s Face the Nation that Trump “called out to these people to continue their violence” on January 6, 2021, and that her husband, Paul Pelosi, ended up “being a victim of all of that” rhetoric.However, she was present for the certification of the presidential election results on January 6, the day after she made that statement on CBS, ABC reported.

Israel’s security cabinet has delayed a planned meeting to approve a ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas in Gaza, with Benjamin Netanyahu’s office accusing Hamas of attempting to obtain ‘last minute concessions’ on some aspects of the deal.
