Eighteen years after the collapse of the dot com bubble, US tech companies find themselves in another precarious situation. During the current economic expansion, stocks like Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google (FAANG) have led the soaring Nasdaq stock index. However, valuations have become stretched, and the party may be coming to a dramatic end very soon. The wind has already been taken out of the sails of Facebook. A few weeks ago, #DeleteFacebook went viral after it was revealed that Cambridge Analytica gained access to the information of millions of Facebook users to learn about their identities and influence...

President Donald Trump denounced the Washington Post in a Sunday Twitter post, criticizing a story about his chief of staff, General John Kelly. “The Washington Post is far more fiction than fact. Story after story is made up garbage—more like a poorly written novel than good reporting,” Trump wrote on Twitter. The Washington Post reported that Kelly was experiencing a “downward arc” of influence in the White House while Trump was breaking free of his effort to instill more discipline. The story cited sixteen anonymous sources who were inside the White House, outside advisers, and confidants of the president. “Always...

Tech titan Jack Dorsey of San Francisco-based social media platform Twitter applauded an article in something called Medium in which some other hipster CEO described how liberals intend to crush Normal Americans into serfdom in a bloodless “civil war.” Here it is. Ready? It will just sort of happen. Why? Because. Americans will simply decide to be like California because of reasons and phew, no more troublesome conservatives and Gaia is saved! So basically, wishing. Well, that’s a kind of war plan. Perhaps by unleashing the power of hoping so they can utterly subjugate the half of America that voted...

Tony Robbins didnÂ’t invent the NLP techniques he popularized, but the number of people referring to his work in videos, books, and articles IÂ’ve read over the last few years is staggering. If youÂ’re talking about someone who has influenced the influencers over the last few decades, no one else in his field even comes close. Whatever you want to say about him (wait, you mean the infomercial guy from Shallow Hal? The giant guy with the big teeth?), he is as good as it gets when it comes to self-help, psychology and, oh yeah, sales. ThereÂ’s a reason he...

A long time ago he surpassed CNN. Now he is above 50,000,000. Not bad for someone who is supposedly hated.

Wow!!!!!!! What’s next? Link: https://mobile.twitter.com/MayorofLondon/status/982906526334668800

Well, if there were any lingering doubts about Twitter’s perceived bias against conservatives, look no further than what CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted out last night. Apparently, a “good read” is a post co-written by a Center for American Progress senior fellow that calls for “civil war,” the destruction of the GOP, and the adoption of how California runs everything from sea to shining sea. Yeah, bipartisanship is dead, so mob rule is what’s needed. Now, to be fair, the “civil war” will be won at the ballot box and demographic shifts, namely through the so-called emerging Democratic majority, but the...

As Twitchy reported, a fire broke out on the 50th floor of Trump Tower Saturday evening, and some people couldn’t contain their excitement, with one alleged mental health counselor tweeting that he hoped there’d be “major damage.” Musician David Crosby, who’s tweeted that if you’re a “Trump dummy and you don’t like progressives” you’re not welcome at his shows, quickly tweeted and deleted “oh boy …..burn baby burn.”

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey aroused controversy after labeling a Medium article “great” that claimed there’s no “bipartisan way forward” in the United States and that the country is engaged in a “fundamental conflict between two worldviews that must be resolved in short order.” Dorsey shared the Medium article on his personal Twitter account Thursday night, with the accompanying acclaim that it was a “great read.” Author and media consultant Peter Leyden and political commentator Ruy Teixeira argued in the article titled “The Great Lesson of California in America’s New Civil War” that America is already in the midst of a second major...

With all the talk about Twitter shadow banning conservative commentators, National Review's Jim Geraghty wondered whether the social network also had the gall to go after conservative politicians. So he looked at the number of retweets and likes Senator Ted Cruz's tweets receive on average and compared them to California Democratic Senator Kamala Harris. Harris has only half of Cruz's followers: 1.5 million versus 3.2 million. As such, you'd expect Cruz to be retweeted more often by his followers. Surprisingly, that's not the case. But that's not even the most shocking part. Look at the difference; it's gigantic. Texas Republican...

Great read. That’s the CEO of Twitter. You know, the dude deciding who American gets to hear from and who America doesn’t. He’s tweeting this: Interesting take: “Why there’s no bipartisan way forward at this juncture in our history — one side must win”

Tony Robbins should know better than to come for #MeToo and Time’s Up. After the life coach disgustingly claimed women are using the movements to ‘feel significant,’ Twitter rightfully fought back. A video of celebrity life coach Tony Robbins criticizing the #MeToo movement has gone viral, and women on Twitter immediately began firing back at him. It all started when NowThis shared footage from a seminar in San Jose, California last month that showed Robbins mocking “victimhood” and thus the many people who have come forward with stories of sexual assault and abuse. “If you use the #MeToo movement to...

The extremist leftist organization known as FCKH8 is at it again, forcing young girls to help them push its pro-feminism agenda through the use of profanity. Just when it appears they can’t stoop any lower, the Left always proves us wrong. For its new campaign, abhorrently titled “Pussy Scouts,” FCKH8 dresses the children up in pink Girl Scouts uniforms and pink knitted hats made popular at the Women’s March and forces them to “trash Trump” in an R-rated rap, as the Facebook post explains: “Girl’s F-Bomb Rap Trashing Trump” features pussy hat-wearing scouts, ages 8 to 12, humorously trash-rapping against...

I served 6 Presidents, 3 Rs & 3Ds. I directly supported Clinton, Bush 43, and Obama. While I didn't agree with all their policy choices, I admired and respected all of them, as they put country above their personal interests. Not so with you, as your self adoration is disgraceful https://t.co/A1brb0HW3V— John O. Brennan (@JohnBrennan) April 5, 2018

President Trump is telling the U.S. military to prepare for the withdrawal of troops from Syria, but has chosen not to pull American forces until ISIS is absolutely defeated. U.S. officials say the president was hesitant about keeping the 2,000 troops in the war torn country, but did so in an effort to commit to his promise to destroy the Islamic State. A U.S. soldier sits in an armored vehicle on a road leading to the tense front line with Turkish-backed fighters, in Manbij, north Syria, Wednesday, April 4, 2018. President Donald Trump expects to decide “very quickly” whether to...

Hollywood director Joss Whedon took to Twitter late Tuesday and wished for President Donald Trump to “quietly die.” “Donald trump is killing this country. Some of it quickly, some slowly, but he spoils and destroys everything he touches,” Whedon wrote. “He emboldens monsters, wielding guns, governmental power, or just smug doublespeak. Or Russia,” the Avengers director wrote. “My hate and sadness are exhausting. Die, Don. Just quietly die.”

Anyone thinking President Donald Trump “won” the omnibus bill battle only had to watch his news conference as he prepared to sign it. This was the most resigned and deflated Mr. Trump we’ve seen in more than two years. Deflated, maybe. Not defeated. In a scene straight out of a boxing movie, Mr. Trump got tagged, wiped the blood off his mouth, then grimly waded in. The haymakers are coming: The Democrats just don’t realize it yet. Any defections from Mr. Trump’s base at present would return immediately with the next significant victory. In the past few months, despite hoopla...
