Twitter lives as Musk pulls all-nighter… Banned accounts reappearing…

Revolver  "The naysayers said Twitter would go dark, but Musk has put himself in tight spots before and knows how to manage a crack team.". . .

. . ."Musk offers some more clarity on censorship policy. Question is, how do you define negative/hate tweets? This policy is not exactly in line with the 1st Amendment, as we were promised.

"We also see those Orwellian fact-checks are still there promoting official truths:. . ."

GOP Helps Dems Impose Gay Marriage on Everyone

The names of Democratic bills grow ever more Orwellian, from the laughable “Inflation Reduction Act” to the even more outrageous “Respect for Marriage Act.” The latter bill is a direct assault upon God-ordained marriage. It seeks to cement in place sham “same-sex marriage” and force all 50 states to recognize it. Far from respecting marriage, the bill undercuts the true definition. . .

Twelve Republican senators join the Democrats in pushing the “Respect for Marriage Act” forward.

The bill passed the Senate with a 62-37 vote, surpassing the 60-vote threshold needed to move the legislation through the upper chamber to a vote without a filibuster. Twelve Republicans joined with their Democratic counterparts in supporting the measure, including Sens. Roy Blunt (R-MO), Richard Burr (R-NC), Shelley Capito (R-WV), Susan Collins (R-ME), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Rob Portman (R-OH), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Todd Young (R-IN).

Some Republican senators indicated they would back the bill before it was brought to the floor for a vote, such as Johnson who noted that marriage equality has long been considered a settled debate for many Americans.

"We've shown here through this legislation that these rights can coexist, religious freedom on the one hand, LGBTQ on the other hand," Portman said before the Senate vote on Wednesday. "It is my hope that with the changes we've talked about today and we've all now agreed to, we can pass this legislation with the same kind of overwhelming bipartisan majority we saw in the House of Representatives and therefore settle this issue once and for all."

Maybe denial is the driving factor in the 2022 election outcome

Sheldon Bart   "The starkest image emerging from the 2022 midterm elections, in my view, is the electoral map of the gubernatorial race in New York. The criminal-friendly Democrat incumbent, Kathy Hochul, who succeeded Andrew Cuomo upon his resignation, won election to a full term by 53%. But if you look at a map of the returns, you’ll see that the whole state was swathed in red except for a few blue patches here and there representing populous counties where crime is rampant.

"How do you figure that?

"Democrat voters are not a monolithic bloc. Yes, some are hard-core ideologues who swooned over Bernie Sanders. Some are recipients of public assistance and dependent on Democrat party largesse. Some are students and recent graduates majoring in insurrection.

"But they’re not all community organizers, and they don’t all hate America.". . . 

. . ."But consider for a moment what the habitual Democrat would have had to acknowledge to vote Republican on November 8th:

1. That the President of the United States is a doddering mediocrity.

2. That the person (or persons) responsible for the policies and decisions emanating from the White House is a matter of conjecture.

3. That the administration’s policies are blatantly extremist and being implemented with ruinous effect.

4. That proper stewardship of the nation’s fiscal and energy resources is utterly lacking—to the point of precipitating a foreseeable crisis.

5. That large numbers of inner-city youth, trapped in broken homes or broken schools, are not being taught respect, self-control, or the difference between right and wrong.

6. That the freedoms, values, and checks and balances on which this country was founded are being left grossly unprotected.

7. That despite mounting challenges we are not presently capable of deterring our adversaries or defeating them on the battlefield.

"Perhaps it’s all too much to contemplate. The habitual Democrat voter prefers to remain incongruously oblivious. Look to the last scene of Life of Brian for the perfect analogy. The streets of Manhattan reek of marijuana. New Yorkers are being assaulted on the subways. Criminals have brazenly told their victims, “Go ahead, call the police, I don’t care.” But “always look on the bright side” and vote for Kathy Hochul.". . .

White House proposes blocking sunlight to fight global warming

And yet a U.S. regulatory agency now tells us that large swaths of North America may face blackouts and other energy emergencies during bouts of extreme cold this winter, due to coal and natural gas shortages.

 Eric Utter  "The White House recently announced that it was funding a five-year research plan for a controversial proposal to fight climate change by geoengineering — i.e., technologies and processes that can be used to artificially modify the Earth's climate.

"This research would be dedicated specifically to a form of geoengineering known as "solar radiation management," which involves spraying fine aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight away from the Earth.  The hope is that, once the sunlight is reflected, less heat will be generated, and ergo temperatures will go down.  Presto: actual anthropogenic climate change!  A global SPF 100, as it were!

"The research reportedly will attempt to model how solar radiation management might impact the atmosphere, as well as assess its viability as a potential technique to be employed to "manage near-term climate risk." 

"They're hoping to fight the scourge of climate change by blindly trying to change the climate?  What is it with Democrats?  They're also fighting racism with racial quotas and making race the primary consideration in, well, everything.  That's working well, isn't it?  Next, they'll propose fighting drug abuse by giving out free needles and crack pipes.  Oh wait, they're already doing that.  Why haven't they yet suggested we combat STDs by having indiscriminate sex with as many other people as possible?

"Now they're going to "cancel" the sun, without which life on Earth would be impossible?  What could go wrong?!

"And would this be a unilateral decision?  "Hope the rest of you guys don't mind, but we're blocking the sun!  Oops, we didn't expect that!  Our bad.  Sorry, might be a bit chillier than we'd like for a while!"

"And yet a U.S. regulatory agency now tells us that large swaths of North America may face blackouts and other energy emergencies during bouts of extreme cold this winter, due to coal and natural gas shortages.". . .
