To pretend Twitter is taking the moral high ground in banning political ads is laughable. Twitter sees the backlash Facebook has received for embracing free speech in advertising and with this ban, hopes to force their hand into doing the same. @jack #twitterads
A key reason organizations and individuals buy ads is to promote an issue that they cannot get covered by conventional means. We have seen how the social media giants have used their content policies to suppress conservative speech.
Because of this, liberal messaging dominates Twitter and by restricting ads, Twitter can further limit the ability of conservatives to get their message heard.
By including “issue ads” in this ban, Twitter has given itself the power to draw the lines on what is and is not “political.” Make no mistake, this is not an easily defined space and with Twitter’s history of liberal activism, conservatives should be very concerned.

We're in the midst of the Great American News Blackout. The networks, CNN, and MSNBC get 4 pinocchios for calling themselves news organizations. They are too busy pushing a Marxist agenda to cover the most important issues of the day. (thread)
The same goes for Big Tech. They will censor anything and everything that might hurt their leftists pals and their anti-american agenda.
This year alone, the media and social media have blacked out or given minimal coverage to:
- Mass exodus from the workforce
- Surging inflation
- Biden's border crisis

Biden has no idea what’s been happening in Afghanistan. Just look at his pathetic press conference (thread):
He thinks all of our allies think we did a great job.
He doesn't know how many Americans are in Afghanistan.

House Democrats are completely unhinged! This crusade to ban @FoxNews over “disinformation” is a complete joke. They’d change their crazy tune if they took a look at their beloved @CNN.

Here are just a few of the examples of CNN’s false content our @newsbusters team dug up:
.@CNN promoted the false narrative that President Trump colluded with the Russians on an almost daily basis for TWO YEARS … so, the left wants to cancel Fox??
.@CNN allowed the lie that President Trump called white supremacists “very fine people” to be repeated countless times over the last few years … so, the left wants to cancel Fox??

First it was omission, now it is outright collusion with the Biden presidential campaign. First @CNN kept hidden their own footage that links Biden to a sexual assault. CNN would have succeeded in keeping that hidden but for the MRC that also had, and released, the footage. (1/4)
After being exposed and forced to report on the story they had for years, within a day CNN has now taken it down again, trying to expunge the evidence from their online platforms.
This is not China, or North Korea. In the United States, a "news" network doesn't work overtime to keep the truth from the American people - unless it's doing the bidding of the Biden presidential campaign.

The speech was a tour de force. Honoring those who gave the supreme sacrifice and a hero like Rush Limbaugh in an unprecedented awarding of the medal of freedom. (Thread) #SOTUS
Likewise in another unprecedented moment, reuniting a military family live, in front of millions on television and in front of America's leadership in the House chamber.
While votes are still being counted in debacle that has been the Iowa Caucuses, President Trump delivered a masterful State of the Union address that was inspiring, uplifting, sobering and forward looking.
