During the funeral for George H.W. Bush, Trump was spotted not reciting the Apostle's Creed and leftists on Twitter used it as an opportunity to bash him. Professor Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit appeared on the Martha MacCallum show Thursday night to talk about this and used it as an example of why he left Twitter.

Conservative pundit Jesse Kelly's Twitter account was reportedly banned over the Thanksgiving weekend. Mary covered the story here. Now, the account has been reinstated. At present, there's confusion aURLo whether his account was suspended or banned. If Twitter suspends an account, users are still able to access the page URL where they'll find a suspension message. That was not the case with Kelly's account.

When then-candidate Donald Trump pointed out that Democrat policies have harmed black Americans and asked them what they have to lose by voting for him, the leftstream media went into full meltdown mode.  The last thing the left wanted then, or want now, is a big shining spotlight on the damage that Democrat policies have inflicted on black Americans for more than half a century.

Twitter hashtag games are a fun and effective way of sharing our ideas, no less so now that Twitter is silencing conservatives. Case in point, Ben, of Ben and Jerry's ice cream fame and fortune, coordinated a "name the ice cream for seven up and coming progressives" effort with MoveOn.org and got far more than he bargained for.

Humanity 101: Do not threaten people, including those who accuse someone of sexual assault or may not vote the way you want them to. The Hill published an article yesterday about how Sen. Susan Collins and her office have received threats over Supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. "Conservative" blogger Jennifer Rubin and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) decided it's not a big deal and actually went on social media to MOCK Collins and her office.

Back in 2011, the Obama administration announced that it was going to roll out an emergency alert system that entailed, in part, text messages to one's phone from the president.  No one can opt out of these "Presidential Alerts," and there was quite an uproar from the right about this at the time. This week, FEMA announced that it will again be testing this emergency alert system on Thursday—it was first tested in November of 2011, and the left is suddenly not happy with the Obama plan now that Obama is no longer in office.

Twitter has long been adversarial to conservatives, libertarians, Republicans, and other right-leaning users; we've been suspended and/or banned so often that a lot of conservatives have a second account in place should they end up in the infamous #TwitterGulag. Since the outrage and backlash against these blatant attempts to silence any and everyone not toeing the regressive line, Twitter has become more creative in its efforts to silence "wrong thought."  First it was shadow-banning, and when they got called out on that, they started a new and deeply bizarre not shadowbanning shadow-banning policy.

Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) is the latest Democrat to jump on the deception shuttle to, she hopes, the White House in 2020.  She tweeted an 11-second video of soon-to-be Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in which he says, "Filling out the form would make them complicit in the provision of the abortion-inducing drugs that they were, as a religious matter, objected to."

The deplatforming of Alex Jones by social media sites should disturb you whether you are a fan or not. I've never been a fan of Jones or his Infowars site. I've never gotten past the time Jones led an angry mob against Michelle Malkin in 2008. Still, if this can be done to him it can be done to anyone.
