Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a letter on Monday that the Biden-Harris administration repeatedly pressured his company — which includes Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and more — to censor content that is protected free speech. Zuckerberg made the admission in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) this week in which he said that his goal moving forward was to “be neutral and not play a role one way or another” for either any political party or ideology. He said he doesn’t even want the appearance of playing a role and will not be making political contributions.

Mr. Undershirt should devote 100 percent of his time to making money and avoid politics. His common sense is inversely proportional to his wealth.

REMEMBER: “Progressive” Democrats need to control what their subjects see & hear today for THE VERY SAME REASON Southern Democrats didn’t allow their slaves to read & write 160 years ago. We’re dealing with pure EVIL, Folks❗️

The next letter will say "and we happily continue to do so" (censor speech not approved by the current regime or deep state operatives).

Sounds like Mark may be feeling a little like a 'useful idiot' and getting tired of being the source of 'other people money'. After all the money he gave them he still was just a useful tool to the left.

From the American Greatness website by Daniel Oliver: "Trump likes to sound like a winner: he’s gonna win so big you’re not gonna believe it. In fact, of course, he’s lost more races than he’s won. He won by a squeaker in 2016, but he lost in 2020, and most of his candidates lost in 2022. He’s not a horse you’d put big money on. And he’s not running a focused campaign that has the feel of inevitable victory. Partly that’s due to his word salads, which this column covered here. But partly it’s because he simply can’t stay on message. Here are comments from a number of people, some of whom undoubtedly want him to win." I don't know what Daniel Oliver's problem is but I have a few thoughts for him. What happened to free speech? At the end of the above paragraph, it stated there were a number of people making comments. I looked at the people making the comments and they were not everyday American people. They were journalists, reporters, leadership people and they pointed out what Donald Trump should say and sound like. Well, you know what Daniel? Every day people don't want scripted words - they want words where there is follow-through. They want good leadership where words and actions mean something. Kamala Harris has had three and a half years for follow-through on their 2020 campaign and her WORDS and ACTIONS mean nothing. Yet, her political base wants to censor everyone else. Double standards.

I have this to say also. I understand there are some very good orators. Ronald Reagan on the conservative side and Barack Obama on the liberal side as examples. Now, I know some of Ronald Reagan's speeches were written by other people and Barack Obama would use a teleprompter. People in power or leadership positions may want censorship options because opposition might say something that has validity or credibility. As noted in my first above comment, Donald Trump is considered the opposition. One journalist pointed out his name calling. Yes, I do understand the point they are making but if I recall in 2016, Rosie O'Donnell took the first shot. Correct me if I am wrong on that one. What I abhor now is the media and the justice system using their venues to name call him. We now have to hear about the 34-count felon he is or the rapist he is. He was not even given a fair trial and, no, I do not consider a civil suit by E. Jean Carroll a fair trial. They already determined his guilt and were now rewarding financially. Censorship - that is what a person does when they don't want to hear the truth.

Finally, after ducking an interview since she was handed the Democratic nomination for president on a silver platter, Kamala Harris is going to do an interview. Of course, because it's the Democrats, you always know there's a little more to that story. It's not going to be a live interview. It's going to be on CNN and it will be taped. And the person conducting it will be Dana Bash, the same person who contested that Harris had been appointed border czar. So, you know even before we get to the interview, it's probably going to be a softball piece.

Washington — Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will sit with CNN for their first joint interview on Thursday as Democrats work to broaden their base’s excitement from last week’s Democratic National Convention. The interview, conducted by CNN’s chief political correspondent and anchor Dana Bash, will air at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday. It occurs as the candidates embark on a bus tour through the battleground state of Georgia and marks the first time Harris has sat with a journalist for an in-depth, on-the-record conversation since President Joe Biden dropped his bid for a second term and endorsed her on July 21.

Washington — Special counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday in which he again accused Trump of resisting the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 presidential election. Smith narrowed the allegations after a landmark Supreme Court ruling on presidential power earlier this year. The new 36-page charging document is based on a more refined set of allegedly criminal acts after the Supreme Court ruled Trump was immune from prosecution for some of the conduct included in Smith's original 45-page indictment returned last year. Prosecutors maintained the four counts against Trump that he previously faced — including conspiracy

Kamala Harris has repeatedly said she would shut down Donald Trump's border wall project and once called it a 'medieval vanity project' and a 'waste of taxpayer'. But now that she is the Democratic presidential nominee, Harris has allegedly and suddenly vowed to sign a bill that would allocate hundreds of millions of dollars to continue building a wall along the southern border, according to a report. Materials for Trump's wall sit and decay in border states ever since the construction came to a screeching halt when President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris took office in 2021.

Kamala Harris has now been in the presidential race for over a month. During that time she has done no interviews and press conferences, instead relying on anonymous aides to leak her supposed positions to the press. Time is now running out on her game of hide-and-seek. Speaking to the press in early August, Harris told reporters that she would do a sit-down interview "before the end of the month." With that deadline fast approaching, it's becoming more and more obvious she's terrified to follow through. According to Politico, the vice president has her handlers using a new strategy to see who she'll finally talk to.

An Israeli hostage being held by Hamas was rescued by special forces from a tunnel beneath southern Gaza on Tuesday, the IDF said. Qaid Farhan Alkadi, 52, who was kidnapped by the terror group on Oct. 7, was found in a tunnel in Mahrat during a “complex rescue operation,” according to the Israeli military. Alkadi, a father of 11 from the Bedouin Arab community, was rescued by IDF soldiers from the 13th Fleet Unit, 401st Brigade, as well as Yalam and Shin Bet fighters, the military said. The first image of Alkadi post-rescue showed him seated in a hospital gown alongside a grinning relative.

Giggly Kamala Harris has always had a problem with people thinking she was stupid, a lightweight, a ditz, a non-thinker. After all, she was the daughter of a Stanford professor, but somehow she couldn't get into that school, even with affirmative action. And she got her start in politics at Willie Brown's knee, so to speak. It wasn't her brains she was selling when she 'dated' Willie. She's since done her best to dodge reporters and avoid interviews, doing only an informercial or two with her running mate, Tim Walz, and not releasing any policy programs. But her minions aren't doing nothing, particularly on matters of getting her campaign message out to voters.

As Joe Biden disembarked Air Force One in the early hours of Tuesday morning in California last week, he was visibly shaking. It was approaching 5.30am East Coast time and the president had been awake almost 24 hours. Walking slowly down the plane's stairs, he struggled to step up into the SUV waiting to take him to the 8,000-acre Santa Barbara ranch where he and his family have just enjoyed a week-long vacation. One of his Secret Service agents moved to shield him from the watching cameras, before giving him a helpful boost into the car. On the tarmac, First Lady Jill Biden watched, visibly concerned.

Less than two months ago, Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt after 20-year-old Thomas Crooks opened fire at an open-air rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. While Secret Service agents were applauded for bravely swarming the stage to protect Trump, the incident represented one of the worst security failures in American history. Following the shooting on July 13 - which claimed the life of firefighter Corey Comperatore - Congress set up a bipartisan taskforce to investigate. As questions mounted, Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle was forced to resign.

Kennedy's press secretary confirmed the change in a statement to CBS News.

It was not until the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in July that President Biden ordered that Kennedy receive Secret Service protection as well.
