If Trump is looking for state #53, I just want to put in a good word for New Zealand. They filmed all of the Lord of the Ring movies there. It is really gorgeous. It would make a lovely territory for us to add. Plus, they sort of speak English already. It's weird, but you can

Every time you call a Woke Race hustler a "racist," you're missing the point and helping him get away with it. What he's doing isn't racism. It's Bolshevik race/ethnic strategy. It's actually Stalinist National Socialism.

Over the last two years, we have been reporting on the alarming rise of censorship by governments around the world and speaking out against it. If you’re an American, you might not think this should bother you. But in every one of these nations, the people pushing for censorship

This is the best policy announcement I’ve seen from any political figure, on any topic, in my lifetime. THIS is substantive free speech. This is competent and aggressive policymaking. This is my president.

Has anyone offered as a reason for Trump's win that he is the most persuasive politician of our lifetime and he was running against a moron? We might be overthinking it.

So… with our brave new law to charge social media platforms when people put article links up - does the herald still get to publish ‘news’ which is just a string of tweets? One such example below - no acknowledgment of source.
