    As you know, this is not the point. The point is to limit your speech, not theirs.

    I'm waiting for BLM and the White House to acknowledge the bravery displayed by the black Border Patrol Agent who drowned in the line of duty, trying to save the lives of 2 illegal immigrants who were drowning as they crossed the Rio Grande.
    Oh, they were also drug smugglers.

    It shouldn't surprise me anymore that the same media, who erroneously claimed Border Patrol Agents were whipping immigrants with long reins, ran with that story for days, then never apologized for being wrong, would ignore this tragedy.
    But it does. These men and women are often heroic, buying immigrants clothing, toys and food for their children, all the while being called racist and worse.
    But this man died trying to help. Yet, I hear or read nothing.

    I am Charlie Brown with the football. I want to hope we are better than this.

    All they'd have to do is admit that they're partisan Democrats out to help Democrats win elections, and I wouldn't care. Political operatives and hacks are part of the racket. It's the pretense of journalistic integrity and claims to be pursuers and guardians of the truth that bother me.

    Jack Dorsey thinks Musk IS the right one .Jack disagees with the writer at Bloomberg in the link.

    I've always heard that Dorsey was never the bad apple at Twitter. I'm not sure if that's true, but that's at least what I've heard.

    Some of his Tweets right before and after he stepped down as CEO indicated that fact to me. He made the radical libertarians giddy several times.

    Apparently, Dorsey didn't devote enough time/energy to twitter. It's hard to see how Elon can do this proper. His Tesla stock is down a lot since this started - $150 billion in value. That $1 billion opt out is not looking horrible if the stock price would rebound because of it.

    Yes. Up for recall in June. These people live different lives from you and me. It’s the source of many problems.

    The fact that a convicted murderer was able to score a job as a professor at Columbia says a lot.

    Yeah, but that was the Washington Compost. Still, what can you expect from either of those worthless rags?

    They've hit the trifecta on that one. Now every stern challenge or question she gets about policy will automatically be because the questioner is sexist/racist/homophobic.

    That's exactly right.

    This is classic Liberalism. It's not about equality. It's about answering the door with the face of minority rights and forcing the conversation to go personal right away.

    It takes a lot of guts and deft questioning to make it through and they know that.

    In the end, the situation that occurred with the teenager and the Native American is what we're dealing with. They set up Liberal icons and then the media defends them to the death.

    Bingo!

    Reporter: What does the president have to say about his approval rating dropping?

    Jean-Pierre: Those polled don't like me being press secretary because they're sexist, racist, and homophobic.

    Reporter: But I asked about Biden.

    Jean-Pierre: See my first reply.
