Getting the Facts Straight: Some Observations on the Fifth Circuit Ruling in Missouri v. Biden

The authors quote from an article I wrote in 2023, refuting false claims about government jawboning of social media platforms. One of the claims I directly push back against is the persistent lie that the FBI demanded Twitter censor online speech.

Is there a way to verify the files aren't doctored or redacted to remove Trump's involvement?

I imagine the only way is that there's enough copies and enough potential whistleblowers that such a thing would get spotted and called out

It's never a good sign when a national television host is priming the audience to believe "ephebophilia" isn't as big of a deal as other forms of child sex abuse because the president was friends with a child sex offender whose youngest known victim was actually 11 years old

Thank you, New York City.

Now let’s win.

Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, “created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,” and “did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.” The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their “rescue” on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

This stands in sharp contrast to the $130M that someone supposedly (extremely illegally) donated for military pay. Sure is interesting to see what "can" and "can't" be done.

I mean, they're all aware that this is deeply inconsequential, so is this just a political litmus test to see if the cities will capitulate to unlawful demands by the government?

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”
