This was an unusually light week where I spent much of the time off social media during an out-of-state trip to a relative's house for the holiday.
Nope. Your MIL is the tie-breaking voice in the senate.

Trump's kingmaker reputation was lost in the midterms. He lost bigly in the midterms in AZ, PA, GA and elsewhere. https://t.co/pJtAEYIzEf

Good news. I had been considering subscribing to their streaming service, but Woke Disney turned me off. It wasn't a black mermaid but Disney had gone ideological after Annette Funicello and started meddling in divisive politics. I want to be entertained, not preached at. https://t.co/7LrapwYQXu

I personally don't care for Alex Jones or conspiracy rubbish. But free speech isn't about what is popular or what you want to hear; this approach isn't principled but a nuanced different style of censorship. We need a free exchange of ideas to confront error.

Not that I agree with the genocidal attacks against the Houthis, and Trump certainly had his share of blame, especially his relevant veto. But first, recall the policy started under Obama, and you're not attacking his account. https://t.co/2Yj4R0SDmT

Yup. I'm sure that leftist troublemaking snitches were behind the ideologically-tilted harassment by Twitter Mommy. I and other conservatives and libertarians, none of who complained about outrageous leftist behavior, were targeted, e.g., for using politically incorrect words. https://t.co/DG2dZNYSKx

My latest essay suggests the GOP should consider RCV for its Presidential primaries and other races.https://t.co/X1HUnrJlsx

Finally, the GOP has won one of the 5 remaining House races. CA-22, leading 219-212.

Definitely an improvement over Biden and Trump. https://t.co/tCDmqjgHTX

CA-3 was won by a Republican and AK, a RCV state was won by the incumbent Dem as expected, with the GOP 220-213. This leaves 2 narrowly-led GOP races uncalled, CA-13 and CO-3.

Ed Markey is a feckless political whore who has megalomaniac delusions of leftist authoritarianism. Twitter has competition, and they have every market incentive to pursue excellence without incompetent State regulation. Verification was a preexisting problem; Musk is fixing it. https://t.co/vreZWnje21

Twitter has freedom of association as have you. Personally, if I were Musk, I would drop all Markey accounts, genuine or fake. There is no Constitutional basis for Congressional intervention in the marketplace. Musk took over a mismanaged company, which had an existing problem.

If you are unaware of the kerfuffle, the US soccer federation has removed an emblem from the Iranian flag on some social media accounts (not its website). The emblem represents Iran's repressive theocratic government violating human rights.

This is pretty stupid--NO. The previous regime repressed conservatives or libertarians all the time; I know; I personally got suspended over a half dozen times over phony infractions. The Gray Lady explicitly endorses candidates and opines on issues, far more intrusive.

Unlike you, Musk believes in free speech. The prior regime suspended the Babylon Bee for mocking a USA Today post, Daniel McAdams got banned for using the r-word on Sean Hannity (I've heard worse from you leftists). This caricature is just a made-up rationalization from leftists.

From a pro-liberty perspective, corporatism is politically perverse, made possible by government's straying away from legitimate authority in protecting unalienable rights. The correct antidote to corruption of political and corporate elitists is to limit government.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) November 27, 2022
The term "corporate communism" has been used in other contexts; it's also referred to as corporatism. Basically corrupt industry elitists co-opt Big Government power to protect their market share from typically smaller, innovative competitors.https://t.co/VWewbZf9Wz
