Brussels has reportedly summoned tech-billionaire Elon Musk to the European Parliament to discuss “hate speech” problems in relation to his social media network, Twitter. Roberta Metsola, the President of the European Parliament, has reportedly invited Musk to Brussels to discuss “hate speech” concerns surrounding Twitter, reports published on Tuesday have claimed.

MSNBC co-host Joe Scarborough said Friday on his show “Morning Joe” that Republicans are being too “harsh,” which will cause them to lose elections. The panel was discussing Republicans criticizing the circumstances surrounding the release of WNBA star Brittney Griner from Russia, including Griner refusing to stand for the national anthem in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in 2020. Scarborough said, “Americans get it; Americans are smart enough to get it. There are people that care protesting during George Floyd. There are a lot of Americans that didn’t really get black athletes and some white athletes kneeling during the...

Anti-Semitic hate crimes in New York City more than doubled in November compared to the same month last year, according to the latest numbers released by the NYPD. There were 45 hate crimes inspired by anti-Semitism across the five boroughs last month, compared to 20 in November 2021 — representing a 125% spike. The dramatic increase coincided with scandals involving Kanye West, now known as Ye, and Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving spewing anti-Semitic rhetoric on Twitter and in interviews. “We have normalized hate and I continue to say the biggest spreader of this hate is social media,” Mayor Eric...

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said Monday on CNN “This Morning” that it was “hard to conceive” the motive was not “hate” in Saturday’s shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs that left five people dead and 25 injured. Weiser said, “So the investigation’s ongoing, and I think it’s fair to say, based on the facts, it’s very hard to conceive a situation where the motive wasn’t generated by hate. This was a well-known nightclub that individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation, or gender identity, the LGBTQ community knew was a safe place. It was a place where people could...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that the Republicans’ “crazy violent hate rhetoric” was a “threat to the heart of our democracy.” Clinton said, “There always been a streak of violence, of racism, misogyny, antisemitism, as you said, but I think what we’re seeing today, and it has certainly been thrown into very high relief by the horrific attack on Paul Pelosi, is not just an aberration where one or two people or a small group engage in that kind of violent rhetoric and urge people to take action against political figures like her,...

Joe Biden launched a hate campaign against Trump voters on September 1. A wave of political violence against Republicans in the weeks since proves it worked. Like a modern-day Father Coughlin, at the beginning of the month, His Fraudulency Joe Biden stood in front of Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia to demonize and dehumanize the 65 million Americans who dared not vote for Joe Biden. “MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution,” Biden screamed during his primetime address while bathed in a satanic red glow. “They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not believe in...

Project Veritas on Wednesday released undercover audio of Democrat South Carolina State Rep and US Senate candidate Krystle Matthews trashing white people. “My district is slightly Republican, and it’s heavily white,” Matthews told an undercover PV journalist. “I’m no stranger to white people, I’m from a mostly white town.” She continued, “And let me tell you one thing, you oughta know who you’re dealing with, like…you gotta treat them [white people] like shit, like I mean that’s the only way they’ll respect you.” Krystle Matthews proceeded to tell the PV journalist that she keeps white people “under her thumb” otherwise...

President Biden Delivers a Primetime Speech on the Continued Battle for the Soul of the Nation, Philadelphia, PA.Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qSmRoVo5AA

The rhetoric from establishment Democrats is getting increasingly eliminationist, something that should worry us all. It seems like just yesterday that politicians would try to sway voters to come to their point of view and cast a vote for them. Things have changed. In the past week, Charlie Crist told conservative voters he wants nothing to do with them because they're evil; Kathy Hochul told Republicans to leave her state; and, in the culmination of this abuse, Joe Biden effectively affixed the label "fascist" to Trump's 74,216,154 voters (all of whom are actual human beings). Is it any coincidence that,...

The Dems decided they needed a little presidential revival before the midterms to fire up their base -- which isn’t looking very motivated at the moment. They gave President Gremlin a few days of vacation to rest up, a couple of shots of Adderall to switch on long-dormant brain cells, and a few hits of oxygen so he could walk out onto the stage without collapsing.They trotted Biden out to a friendly audience in a suburb of Washington, D.C., and he gave a real barn-burner of a speech. He was angrier than an old coot screaming at the neighborhood kids...

Sam Harris deserves our gratitude. With dazzling honesty, the liberal atheist public intellectual from LA has said out loud what we all knew but which his ilk have blurred for the past two years: Once you decide Donald Trump is the second coming of Adolf Hitler, then anything is legitimate to stop him — and, yes, everything illegitimate was done to stop him in 2020, and it was “warranted.” Now that the Orange Hitler is lining himself up for a second tilt at the presidency, it’s OK to suspend democracy again to stop him. This mass delusion of the left,...

He found the beef. A Wendy’s customer who flew into a rage when his drive-thru order was wrong unleashed fury and bullets on the fast-food workers he believed messed up his meal, according to local reports. Christian Ellis, 19, went to a Wendy’s location in Frisco, Texas, on Aug. 17, according to the local FOX station.
