1/ Do Republicans want to ban books in schools, as the Democrats claim? Actually, yes. Sort of. All normal people do.🧵
2/ The DNC confirmed two things about Democrat elites. First, they want you to kill your babies. Second, if the babies survive, Democrats want to expose them to pornography in grade school.
3/ As a Planned Parenthood bus performed free ritual infanticide outside the DNC, Kamala Harris declared inside the convention hall that Donald Trump and Republicans are “out of their minds” regarding so-called “reproductive rights.”
4/ At the same time, Kamala’s running mate Tim Walz and almost-running mate Josh Shapiro took to the DNC stage to attack Republicans for opposing gay porn in public schools. They called the Republican position “book banning.”
5/ Recent data have shown that before their thirteenth birthdays, 1/2 of all boys and 1/3 of all girls are exposed to porn. The data also reveal that children under twelve who have viewed porn are more likely to be sexually assaulted than their peers. (Paper by @ACPeds)
6/ Democrats in D.C. know the content they’re pushing is obscene. @SenJohnKennedy has read it to them. Nevertheless, the Harris-Walz ticket endorses it—and lambasts conservatives for wishing to ban it in public schools.
7/ In a way, the Democrats are right: Republicans do want to ban certain books in schools—namely, gay porn. But Democrats support school book bans too—for instance, the Bible. My full thoughts here:

On this day 241 years ago, my great-great-great-great-great grandfather Simon Knowles was honorably discharged from the Continental Army, having served for the entirety of the Revolutionary War and in virtually every major engagement. 🧵
2/ Simon joined the New Hampshire State Troops in 1775 and fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill under Col. John Stark. On New Year’s Day 1776, while engaged in the Siege of Boston, the unit was renamed the 5th Continental Regiment.
3/ In spring of 1776, the 5th Continental Regiment was sent to Canada, where Simon fought at Trois-Rivières and defended the area around Lake Champlain. The men then transferred into Gen. Washington’s army to cross the Delaware and fight at Trenton.
UPDATE: The Australian Federal Court has extended the global ban on @ElonMusk and @X’s ability to allow certain news stories, including the viral footage of the terror attack on Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel that the victim himself wants public.
2/ The US-based @EFF, which the Guardian explains sought to intervene in the case over global free speech concerns, was told by the Australians that such matters are “for the ballot box.”
3/ Right...that’s the point, @tweetinjules and @eSafetyOffice. Not only were you not elected; the government that appointed you was not elected by the global population you’re now seeking to rule.
.@ElonMusk is in a battle against the Australian government to stop the World Economic Forum from silencing citizens and independent journalists worldwide. Here’s everything you need to know: 🧵
2/ In January 2023, I exposed the threat of the Australian eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant (an American who worked at Twitter pre-Elon), and the World Economic Forum’s “Safety by Design” project.
3/ Two months later, Grant demanded that @ReduxxMag, an international publication, delete a story about an American man who lives in Australia, plays women’s soccer, and allegedly injured real women. X had to censor the story for Australian users.
“A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of a higher obligation...." —Thomas Jefferson
And why? Because, in Jefferson's view, "to lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means.”
Lest there be any confusion as to how far Jefferson took this idea: "There are extreme cases where the laws become inadequate to their own preservation, and where the universal recourse is a dictator, or martial law."
🧵 The spokesman for the Ukrainian military is an American transvestite named Michael “Sarah” Cirillo. Because of course he is. (1/)
I have no interest in gossip or the sin of detraction. If he were merely a weird private person, I wouldn’t mention him. But Cirillo is a public figure on public platforms, and his actions are having real-world consequences on the first major war in Europe since WWII. (2/)
His public life is also instructive in revealing the reality of transgenderism, as opposed to the propaganda. Some background: a seemingly ordinary guy until two months into his marriage, he decided “to explore transition,” impregnated his wife, and then divorced. (3/)
