Elon Blasts Dems With the Truth, Predicts They Now Will Be Coming for Him

by Leave a Comment

On Tuesday, I reported how Elon Musk had given an interview to a tech podcast and said that he would be voting Republican, perhaps for the first time.

He also said that Twitter has a “very far-left bias” and that he viewed his effort to buy Twitter as a “moderate” take-over to stop that bias.

But he didn’t leave it there. He decided to go all-in and throw caution to the wind on Wednesday. Not only did he say that he confirm that yes he would be voting Republican, he ripped them as the party of “division and hate.”

“In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party,” Musk explained. “But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold … 🍿”

That is right on target when it comes to the Democrats. But he knows saying that will bring consequences.

“Political attacks on me will escalate dramatically in coming months,” he warned, assessing what would be coming next. He predicted that the “dirty tricks attacks will be next-level.”

Musk may already be getting hit for his failure to row in line with the narrative — Tesla got booted from S&P 500 ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Index. The reasoning was in part because they had a “low carbon strategy.” Um, they make electric cars? What other strategy do they need? They also said there were “claims of racial discrimination and poor working conditions” at one of his Tesla facilities.

While Tesla was booted, Exxon was ranked in the top ten which shows you how much such a ranking truly means.

He delivered a great meme showing just exactly what such a ranking means.

It seems he has a very good sense that they’re going to level both barrels at him now, without holding back. He’s already shown a willingness to stand in there and take them on, so let’s hope he can continue to stand up to them and completes his purchase of Twitter. They fear that loss of control and that’s why it’s so important that it happens. Hopefully, he can hang in there, because we can see it’s already having a positive effect, even perhaps with things like Jeff Bezos speaking out against Joe Biden. When one can challenge the power it weakens that power against all of us.

Elon Decimates the Dems With a Devastating Announcement About the Election

by Leave a Comment

I reported earlier about Elon Musk’s remarks on a podcast at a tech summit, taking Joe Biden to task when it comes to inflation. He also mocked Biden by saying whoever was truly behind the teleprompter controlled the presidency. I mentioned how it sounded like he’d been red-pilled.

Turns out there was more to the podcast and indeed, it sounds like he has been. He’s making it official, and this is going to infuriate the left even more.

Musk mentioned how he had always voted Democratic, saying he wasn’t sure that he’d ever voted for a Republican. But in this next election, he will be voting Republican.

“I have voted overwhelmingly for Democrats, historically. Like I’m not sure, I might never have voted for a Republican, just to be clear,” Elon said. “Now this election, I will.” He isn’t the only one, and he’s just a sign of a larger movement coming.

Musk attacked the “left-wing bias” of Twitter, which Project Veritas confirmed with a damning video they just released. He said that it wasn’t going to be a “right-wing takeover” of Twitter, but a “moderate-wing takeover,” so that all could express themselves in the “digital town square. That’s what the right has been celebrating — just the idea of basic fairness, not being banned for political belief, not having information suppressed because it doesn’t serve the Democratic political narrative.

But the left can’t even take that. They melt down and attack Musk because they don’t want to lose the power that they’ve exercised over the platform. That reaction and the way they have come after him, in addition to what he has described as their radical move to the left, has no doubt moved him to change how he will be voting.

But unlike some on the left, Musk even takes people coming back at him and attacking him as a part of the landscape, saying he shouldn’t be able to control everything; he wouldn’t want to be able to stop people from criticizing him. Now, that’s the right attitude to have, and it means he truly gets the concept of free speech that he’s fighting for — that even those who would go after him get to speak. If he can achieve that, then it truly is a “town square.”

Musk also noted something else in the podcast — his concern about bots. Musk’s Twitter acquisition has been on hold for a few days, after he questioned whether the spam/fake accounts comprise fewer than 5 percent of users. The more fake accounts there are, the less the worth of the platform, and so, the less it’s a desirable purchase.

But it’s not just the value of the purchase, but how bots manipulate your experience on the platform. If suddenly you see a lot of folks posting things favorable about Joe Biden, is it because Joe Biden suddenly became popular or that the Democrats have a bot machine going full blast? You know the answer to that already, since Joe isn’t popular. That’s something else Musk wants to do away with.

But Tim Draper — an investor close to Musk who’s putting $100 million into the Twitter effort with him — said he believed the deal was still going to go through, just that the price should be dropped to match the reality. “But I think he’s going to get a better deal because he found out that, whatever, two-thirds [of users] are bots or something.” Musk has said he’s still committed to the deal. But he isn’t the richest man in the world by accident — he’s going to try to get the best deal that he can under the circumstances.

Parag Agrawal posted a long Twitter thread on Monday about how they have been addressing bots, likely trying to mollify Musk and downplay the issue.

Musk’s simple response? A poop emoji.

Chip Roy Delivers a Rebuke of the $40B Ukraine Slush Fund Bill Everyone Should See

by Leave a Comment

A lot gets said on the floor of the House of Representatives, and much of it isn’t worth mentioning. Rep. Chip Roy provided an exception on Wednesday.

The Texas congressman lambasted the rushed vote to approve $40 billion to Ukraine in a clip I think everyone should see. Is this how we want our government to operate? How is this at all sustainable? Those are questions that stick out like a sore thumb following Roy’s righteous rebuke.

Have a watch. It’s worth every second.

Roy’s anger is justified. We went from sending Ukraine $13 billion in US taxpayer money just a month or so ago to now sending $40 billion in a giant slush fund filled with incredibly vague appropriations. Worse, that bill was shoved through Congress without anyone even getting a chance to read it.

In what was a disappointing move for the GOP, a majority of Republicans voted for the bill, which was being pushed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Look, I’m for helping Ukraine in responsible ways, but no, that’s not the “most important thing” going on in the world today, especially for Americans who are dealing with a variety of crises back at home. Besides, there’s a difference between sending targeted support to Ukraine’s military vs. shoveling tens of billions of dollars into unaccountable places, some of which have no relation to the war in Europe at all.

For example, per a breakdown of the bill, did you know that $54 million goes to the CDC? Or that $67 million is given to the DOJ for salaries and expenses? Or that $110 million is marked for embassy security in other countries? Or that $4 billion is delegated to Joe Biden for “foreign military assistance” with essentially no stipulations whatsoever? Heck, $17.6 billion goes to the Department of Defense for a variety of things that may or may not have anything to do with Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the money that does get sent to Ukraine is going to get lost in the shuffle the moment it leaves the treasury. How will we know a country known for corruption and money laundering doesn’t misappropriate funds? And where are the safeguards to ensure taxpayer money is spent properly? They simply don’t exist. That’s why Roy is so furious, and he has every right to be.

Further, many of the people voting for this Ukraine slush fund bill are the same people who insisted we couldn’t afford to build the border wall. It’s amazing how quickly they “find” money when it fits their priorities, though, right?

As I said, it’s perfectly reasonable to want to help Ukraine defeat Russia. But it is not sustainable nor reasonable to fight a proxy war in this fashion. What happens when this $40 billion is gone? Do we spend $80 billion next time? It’s amazing to think that after 20 years of spending trillions on foreign wars that the establishment in D.C. couldn’t make it even a year before committing to another money sink.

Lastly, I do think Ukraine should be held to account here. I’m all for helping them push Russia back to the pre-2021 invasion borders. This isn’t that.

Those are not our fights, and they represent a large escalation over the status quo. Are American taxpayers expected to provide money to Ukraine in perpetuity while they shoot for the moon? Roy is correct in that this isn’t the way to do things. I’m pro-Ukraine, but I can’t support this kind of government ineptness.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Gets the Last Laugh Over Liberals Accusing Her of 'Insurrection'

by Leave a Comment

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been caught up in a ridiculous sideshow the last few months, with liberal activists suing to try to get her removed from the ballot before November’s election.

According to their arguments, Greene is ineligible to run because she helped foment an “insurrection” on January 6th. The evidence provided? Clips from the movie “Independence Day” — and the fact that she used the term “1776.” That and a text message in which she pointedly does not call for martial law.

The scenes from the courtroom were hilarious, if not grating, with Greene having to answer questions about alien invasions and QAnon. Now, a decision has been made, and the Georgia Congresswoman has been ruled eligible to run for reelection.

That this moronic exercise even made it this far is a blight on our system. While the judge ultimately made the correct decision, there was no reason for him to allow this carnival to happen in the first place. Similar lawsuits were thrown out against other Republicans because they clearly lacked merit.

It is not an “insurrection” to discuss legal avenues to challenge an election. It is also not an “insurrection” for a congressional member to object to the certification of said election. If it were, multiple Democrats would be in jail and would have been barred from the ballot following the 2004 and 2016 elections. Greene’s detractors are perfectly welcome to criticize her attitude about the 2020 election. That does not make it illegal or dispositive that she committed “insurrection” and is therefore constitutionally disqualified.

While the left constantly cries wolf about the downfall of our “democracy,” do you know what is an actual threat to our “democracy”? Democrat Party hacks trying to kick Republicans off of ballots because they got their feelings hurt and can’t win elections fair and square. These ploys are a direct attempt to influence the coming election and overturn the results by default. If Georgians in Greene’s district don’t want her to represent them, they can vote her out of office.

The point is that it’s their choice, not the choice of some far-left funded beltway lawyers acting on behalf of Democrats. Greene’s victory here is important because it hopefully puts a stop to this lunacy going forward.

Dr. Oz Opponent Absolutely Eviscerates Him at Senate Primary Debate

by Leave a Comment

When Donald Trump decided to endorse long-time liberal and TV talking head Dr. Mehmet Oz in the Republican Senate primary in Pennsylvania, I wasn’t shy about voicing my displeasure. Neither were a lot of other conservatives, including many who are very pro-Trump.

But while most of the responses I got to my original write-up agreed that endorsing Oz was a terrible pick, the concern seemed to be that the alternative was David McCormick, a wealthy, cookie-cutter establishment Republican in the mold of Kelly Loeffler.

Well, I’ve got good news, especially if you live in Pennsylvania and get to vote in the primary. There is another option out there that just may check all the right boxes so you don’t have to vote for a left-winger like Oz nor an establishment shill like McCormick. Her name is Kathy Barnette, and she stole the show at Wednesday night’s primary debate, eviscerating Oz while promoting a very conservative platform.

Here was an exchange on abortion that is going viral.

In just the last few months, Oz has done a complete turnaround on abortion, now claiming to be strongly pro-life after once staunchly defending Roe v. Wade. But unlike Trump, who gradually came to his current pro-life stance over the course of several years, there’s no reason to believe Oz is doing anything but being politically expedient here. Remember, this is the same guy who spouted pro-BLM rhetoric, and once lectured his audience for not accepting the “transitioning” of children.

Barnette’s story of being born after her mother was raped is a powerful one, and it shows the difference between those who truly believe in upholding the sanctity of life and those who just want to get elected so they can make friends with Chuck Schumer.

Yet, while I found that exchange very compelling, there was another one that I think will make a lot of conservatives very happy, especially those with populist leanings.

Barnette is really speaking my language here. If you aren’t aware of what the World Economic Forum is, it’s a globalist grift where ultra-wealthy people, business leaders, and far-left politicians get together to essentially plot their global domination. Some of the most insane things imaginable have been said at their various conferences, including the promotion of the idea that people will “own nothing.” The WEF also strongly supported COVID lockdowns as a way to supposedly better society.

In short, if you are against global governance and corporate tyranny, the WEF should be at the top of your disapproval list. Oz has long-standing ties to the organization, as does McCormick. It was exceptionally smart for Barnette to show up ready to hit them on those connections.

Again, why in the world did Trump endorse Oz in the first place? The former president’s entire thing is fighting globalism, and he endorses a guy who was part of the WEF? It’s mind-blowing.

But I digress, if you are wondering where Barnette currently stands in the race, the latest poll only has her down five points to Oz and less than that to McCormick. She’s not just some fringe candidate with no chance. Barnette has been surging lately, and there’s every reason to believe she can be competitive going into the primary election. In other words, there is no excuse for any conservative, including Trump supporters, to vote for Oz. There is another path, and it’d be foolish not to take it.
