Trump Makes Unexpected Announcement After Elon Musk Buys Twitter

Former President Donald Trump said he won’t be returning to Twitter even after Elon Musk bought the platform in an effort to restore free speech, according to Fox News.

Trump exclusively told Fox News he would remain off Twitter and stick to his own social media platform TRUTH Social.

“I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on TRUTH,” Trump reportedly said. “I hope Elon buys Twitter because he’ll make improvements to it and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on TRUTH.”

“We’re taking in millions of people, and what we’re finding is that the response on TRUTH is much better than being on Twitter,” Trump told Fox News. “Twitter has bots and fake accounts, and we are doing everything we can.”

“The bottom line is, no, I am not going back to Twitter.”

Durham limited in presenting evidence

A federal judge on Monday slapped limits on special counsel John Durham using the inaccuracy of Trump-Russia collusion claims in his prosecution of Democratic lawyer Michael Sussmann.
Sussmann was indicted last September for allegedly concealing his clients, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and Rodney Joffe, from FBI general counsel James Baker in September 2016 after pushing since-debunked claims of a secret back channel between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa-Bank.
Durham says Sussmann similarly concealed his client, Joffe, when he pushed further Trump-Russia …

Shameless Psaki: Soldier’s Death Not Our Fault, He Works For Texas

A reporter asked White House press secretary Jen Psaki Monday whether the Biden administration feels any responsibility for the death of a national guard soldier at the border.

“Well, of course we are mourning the loss of his life and we are grateful for the work of every national guardsmen. I would note that the national guard work for the states, so he is an employee of the Texas National Guard and his efforts and his operation were directed by there, not by the federal government in this effort.” Psaki said.

Texas Army National Guard Specialist Bishop E. Evans, 22, who was assigned to the U.S.-Mexico border as part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, lost his life while saving the lives of two migrants, who were later said to be part of a drug trafficking operation, that appeared to be drowning, according to the Texas…

Trump Says Prince Harry “Whipped” And “An Embarrassment”

Daily Mail reported that Trump told the British television personality Piers Morgan that he is “not a fan” of Meghan.
“I’ve been a very good predictor, as you know – I’ve predicted almost everything,” he said. “It’ll end, and it’ll end bad.”
Trump then shifted to attacking Harry directly.
“Harry is whipped – do you know the expression, whipped? I won’t use the full expression,” Trump continued. “But Harry is whipped like no person I think I’ve ever seen. I’m not a fan of Meghan, I’m not a fan, and I wasn’t right from the beginning. I think poor Harry is being led around by his nose.”

British Network ITV Appears To Censor “Cute Outfit” Joke From First Sam Raimi Spider-Man Movie

Share this:A new video making the rounds across social media appears to show that British television network ITV has edited out the “cute outfit” quip made by the wall-crawler from a broadcast of Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man film.

In the original version of the scene, as seen in both the original and home video releases of the movie, the famed quip in question can be heard uttered by a young Peter Parker to professional wrestler Bonesaw – as portrayed by Randy “Macho Man” Savage” – during their famous cinematic cage match.

However, as discovered by Twitter user @PaperPlaneTF, it appears that this line has been cut entirely from ITV’s broadcast of the classic superhero outing.
According to a video they shared on April 23rd, alongside the hyperbolic declaration that “THEY REMOVED PETER PARKER’S HOMOPHOBIA”, the network’s version of the film keeps the first half of Peter’s joke in-tact, as the fledgling fighter can still be heard calling out “That’s a cute outfit”, but then skips immediately to Bonesaw’s attempt to jump up and grab the web-slinger.

Jack Dorsey Flips On Woke Liberals At Twitter…

Jack Dorsey picked a curious time to defend free speech and decry the rise of fake news. The Twitter cofounder and former CEO — and long the face of a platform that made him a billionaire — leaves the company’s board in a few weeks.

In the waning days of his tenure, as Elon Musk waged his methodical campaign to buy Twitter, Dorsey — oft-reviled for presiding over increasing viewpoint discrimination against conservative-leaning content — has been lashing out at his fellow board members and mocking CNN.

He has even been suspected of “defending” the scourge of woke America, Tucker Carlson.

For the Big Tech entrepreneur known for cultivating the look of a new age mystic and banning former President Trump from his platform for life, such deviations from woke orthodoxy, however modest, inevitably provoke questions: Is this the “real” Jack Dorsey emerging as he sheds the Twitter fetters? Has he been quietly acting as an unsuspected inside ally of Elon Musk’s takeover bid? Is he simply an opportunist hoping to remain relevant amid an accelerating shift in the political and cultural tides under the influence of a historically unpopular liberal administration in Washington?

Dorsey served as a juicy target for the platform’s critics over the years. His contentious debate with podcasters Joe Rogan and Tim Pool went viral in March of 2019, showing him both willing to hear opposing views but unable to refute charges of platform bias against conservatives.

A year later, Twitter joined Big Tech’s efforts to suppress the New York Post’s expose on Hunter Biden’s laptop in the heat of a presidential election. Dorsey defended suspending The New York Post’s Twitter account at first, saying it wasn’t clear how the newspaper obtained the data in question. He quickly backpedaled, repudiating the “unacceptable” decision to block a story later confirmed as accurate by both The New York Times and The…

Florida Governor Signs Bill Creating Election Police Unit

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Monday to create a police force dedicated to pursuing voter fraud and other election crimes, embracing a top priority of Republicans after former President Donald Trump’s claims that his reelection was stolen.


DeSantis, who is running for reelection and considered a potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate, made voting legislation a focus this year, pushing the Republican-controlled Legislature to create the policing unit in a speech where he referenced unspecified cases of voter fraud, which have become popular talking points in his party.







Republicans nationwide have stressed the need to restore public confidence in elections and have passed several voting laws in the past two years aimed at placing new rules around mail and early voting methods that were popular in 2020 as the coron …

Twitter Board Reportedly Weighing Deal with Elon Musk

Twitter’s board reportedly met with Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk on Sunday to “seriously” consider a deal to sell him the social media platform. 

As previously reported by Human Events News, Musk last week secured the necessary funding to make a tender offer to buy the platform. 
A regulatory filing shows that Musk received $46.5 billion in commitments to help finance the proposed deal. 
Musk was also contemplating a plan to approach Twitter shareholders directly and offer to buy them out.
According to the document, Musk secured $25.5 billion in debt financing from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding and other financial institutions, including Bank of America, Barclays, and Mizuho. He also committed to provide $21 billion in equity financing.

The Limping Truth vs. The Sophist Left

It is one of the greatest frustrations in modern life: trying to argue with a Leftist.  It is not merely that the political and/or ideological principles are wildly divergent.  The means and, indeed, the very goal of the disputation is fundamentally different.  The non-Leftist employs reason and facts to persuade.  The Leftist feels empowered by their self-anointed and subjectively defined “greater good” to employ any and all means, fair and foul, to win.
A brief glance through the mists of history reveals the origin of this schism.

Whereas the ancient philosophers believed logic, facts, and truths were required for a reasoned, cordial discussion leading to “the good,” the later school of Sophistry believed the object of a debate was to prevail – period.  In short, it was the difference between the philosophers’ mutual quest for “good” versus the Sophists’ personal lust for domination.
Flash forward over a few millennia to one’s latest frustrating disputatious encounter with a L …

Dems ALREADY Caught Trying To Steal 2024 Election

The Democrats have proven to be running on empty over the last 16 months of the Biden presidency.

It is not as if they are trying to roll back their electorally toxic policies. This means they will be wiped out politically at the midterms. Nevertheless, they seem unperturbed by the fact that they are not worried about winning elections.

It is evident that the Democratic Party is not hiding under the covers when it comes to the election. There is a nefarious plan afoot. Although they can’t govern well, they are the best at grabbing power by foul means or fair means… KEEP READING»>
