Back in January Kemberlee blogged about a Project Veritas video that revealed that Twitter was actively shadow banning conservatives.  As she noted at the time, Twitter has the freedom to run its social media platform as it sees fit. That said, the Twitter practice of shadow banning right-leaning users has been called out by President Trump, and Twitter has struggled to explain—with unsettling echoes of Whoopi Goldberg's assertion that Roman Polanski's heinous crime wasn't "rape-rape"—how their practice of silencing Republican and pro-Trump Twitter accounts is not shadow banning-shadow banning.

In a marketing stunt that has garnered a lot of attention, Burger King rolled out "Chick Fries" to demonstrate the unfairness of the "Pink Tax."  The problem?  There is no "Pink Tax." The issue they are foregrounding is yet another of the seemingly endless stream of silly complaints the regressive left has taken up as a "the" most important socio-cultural inequity: the production and sale of products that are identical in every way other than that they are pink.  The pink items, those marketed to women, purportedly cost more "42%" of the time . . . because sexism.

As midterms approach, the generic ballot has been in flux. The Democrats began with a double-digit lead, this was whittled down significantly, and is now back up at around 8%.  Other factors make predicting whether or not Republicans can maintain control of the House difficult, but Republicans have an advantage in that even if there is a wave election, they may still retain the House.

On Monday, the Department of Justice charged Russian national Maria Butina with conspiring to defraud the United States and acting as an unregistered foreign agent.  The focus of the media's attention has been on Butina's ties to the NRA and to Republican politicians. We are now learning, however, that Butina met with top officials from the Federal Reserve and from the U. S. Treasury Department during the Obama administration.

Last year, we covered Neil Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court, including their misguided insistence on using the filibuster in an attempt to stop the nomination.  At that point, former Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) had eliminated the filibuster on lower court nominations but since there was no Supreme Court vacancy during his tenure as majority leader, Reid preserved the filibuster for the Supreme Court.

A 72-year-old Miami man has been arrested and charged with attempted murder and attempted arson after police received a tip.  During a subsequent search, they found a storage room containing "28 containers with gasoline, sulfur powder, and potassium nitrate." Walter Stolper was facing eviction from his condo and had reportedly stated that he wanted to "kill all the Jews" in the building.  Police found "Nazi reading material and a Swastika" in Stolper's condo.

We've been covering self-serving glory hound and CNN media personality Jim Acosta's blatantly partisan embrace of the anti-Trump #Resistance   Acosta is what happens when regressive leftist "journalists" become so enraptured with themselves that they forget all about the basic tenets of journalism and embrace reality tv status as a sort of birthright.

Democrats and leftists continue to demagogue illegal alien "family separation" as if it is something that just started under President Trump.  They've gone so far as to call for #AbolishICE, despite strong public and Congressional support for the agency. Now their situation becomes even more dicey as their hysterical narrative is threatened. Border control agents report that increasing numbers of children are being used by illegal aliens as a "commodity" to avoid long-term detention.  The children are not arriving with their own parents, but are being claimed as such to Border Control.

A 75-year-old man has been arrested for threatening to kill President Trump supporters, including those of GOP Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-NY). The man, Martin Astrof, showed up at Zeldin's campaign headquarters in Long Island and threatened to kill a volunteer there as well as other supporters of Trump and Zeldin before nearly hitting the volunteer with his car.

We all know the Stormy Daniels story is not about Stormy Daniels.  It's been about undermining President Trump (not that this has happened because no one cares about his having a consensual one-night stand a decade ago), but it seems that it may also be about Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti and his own political aspirations.

In Janus vs. AFSCME (American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees), the Supreme Court (in a 5-4 decision) ruled that government unions cannot require non-members to pay union dues. Earlier this week, Obama-appointed Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan wrote in her minority dissent to the Janus ruling that the Court had "weaponized the First Amendment."

Last summer, we covered the cancellation of a planned Patriot Prayer rally in San Francisco. The event was cancelled after "Californian leaders, including House minority leader Nancy Pelosi (D), ... adamantly opposed a rally organized by the Patriot Prayer group on the grounds that it is 'alt right' and 'white supremacist'.”  Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson ably refuted these allegations at the time. Gibson, who is running for the U. S. Senate in Washington state, was in Portland, Oregon yesterday with over a hundred of his Patriot Prayer group for an announced, permitted rally.

We've been covering the effects of the 2016 election on the left, and we aren't the only ones who've noticed just how depraved and debased Democrats and the left have become. The #WalkAway movement consists of free-thinking liberals who are horrified by what has become of their side, of the Democratic Party, and they are posting videos and social media shares on why they have chosen to #WalkAway.
