The Biden administration confirms it aggressively works with Big Tech “…to flag ‘problematic’ posts “that spread disinformation on Covid-19” on the internet. George Orwell would call such activity propaganda. Historians characterize such a close working relationship between government and big business as fascism. To the Biden administration, it’s merely cleaning up “misinformation”. Whatever the American…
For well over a year, The Libertarian Republic has been correctly reporting that the Wuhan Lab was the most likely origin of COVID-19. This while many bodies of authority have been labeling this as a fringe conspiracy theory, despite being the most simple, likely and reasonable explanation the entire time (Occam’s Razor). A regular, low-information…
Bush Derangement Syndrome was a real thing, especially on far-left corners of the internet like Democratic Underground and bartcop. The early to mid-2000’s were replete with liberal heads exploding when trying to explain how Dubya was simultaneously a total incompetent boob and an evil mastermind. Obama Derangement Syndrome was also real, and it had a…
Ryan Burge, Eastern Illinois University For all the predictions and talk of a slump in support among evangelicals, it appears Donald Trump’s election loss was not at the hands of religious voters. As an analyst of religious data, I’ve been crunching data released in March 2021 that breaks down the 2020 U.S. presidential election results…
Nicole Silverio Two police officers filed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump Tuesday for injuries sustained during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, according to court documents. Capitol Police Officers James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby allege in the suit that Trump incited a mob to storm the Capitol building which resulted in physical and emotional injuries….
Born the white-looking bastard son of a dark-skinned Virginia woman in the segregated ‘50s, I easily identify with Fredi Washington’s “Peola,” a light-skinned lass passing for white, in the 1934 film classic “Imitation of Life.” “White passing” is a loathsome, offensive phrase. No one is responsible for the physical cues that others take from one’s…
Andrew Trunsky Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.6 billion defamation suit Friday against Fox News, alleging the network, in an attempt to boost its ratings, falsely claimed the company rigged the 2020 election. The suit follows months of false claims by former President Donald Trump and other Republicans that President Joe Biden’s victory was “rigged,”…
Jonathan Schulman, Northwestern University No matter the outcome of Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, the Republican Party must now decide whether to maintain or abandon Trump-era policies during the Biden administration. Among them is Trump’s “America First” foreign policy agenda. Trump portrayed the United States as a dominant, self-sufficient world leader that needs little but subservience…
When Simon & Schuster canceled their scheduled publication of US Senator Josh Hawley’s upcoming book “The Tyranny of Big Tech”, the Missouri Senator cried ‘cancel culture’! In the aftermath of the protest that turned violent on Capitol Hill, Simon & Schuster released a statement the same day, saying, ”We cannot support Senator Hawley after his…
It’s no huge secret that I was never a fan of Donald Trump. His bluster always rubbed me the wrong way, even well before he came down the escalator on that fateful day in 2015 and announced his presidential candidacy. I honestly assumed his presidential run was a publicity stunt and he would flame out…
