A lot of people are angry that more doctors aren’t prescribing ivermectin when they first get diagnosed with COVID. However, a Washington State physician assistant lost his license because he prescribed ivermectin. Most doctors, having invested years upwards of seven years of their lives in preparing to be a physician, don’t want to destroy that career over a politically incorrect prescription.Andrea Salcedo, who to my great surprise has degrees in journalism, is a terrible writer. Nevertheless, she has a job at the Washington Post, from which platform she wrote a barely comprehensible article about a physician assistant named Scott C....

David Mikkelson, a computer science graduate who founded the site in 1994, blamed the behavior on a lack of journalistic training. 'I didn't come from a journalism background,' he said. 'I wasn't used to doing news aggregation. A number of times I crossed the line to where it was copyright infringement. I own that.' Following an investigation by BuzzFeed News, he is no longer allowed to publish articles on the page - although he retains his position as chief executive....

The Chinese communist regime announced on July 30 that it would stop issuing passports to Chinese citizens indefinitely while repeatedly stressing it was an anti-pandemic measure. However, outside of China, many have queried what the real motive might be in restricting people’s mobility.On Wednesday, Liu Haitao, director of Border Inspection Management of the Chinese regime’s Immigration Administration, said at a Chinese State Council press conference, “China will strengthen entry and exit management at ports and borders, strictly prevent the import of epidemics, and strengthen various measures.”One of the measures was to “strictly restrict the cross-border movement of non-emergency and non-essential...

Just yesterday, we discussed the censoring of a commentator by Twitter for merely expressing an opinion over the need for a “pause” on any federal mandates on Covid-19 as new research is studied.Now, a former New York Times science reporter, Alex Berenson, has been suspended for simply quoting the results from a clinical trial by Pfizer and raising questions over any vaccine mandate. In the meantime, the White House accused both the Washington Post and New York Times of irresponsible reporting on Covid, but surprisingly Twitter has not suspended those accounts. It is the license of the censor. Twitter is...

President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani has been suspended from practicing law in the state of New—for the most ridiculous of reasons. The Supreme Court of the State of New York ruled on Thursday that Giuliani violated rules of professional conduct for supporting Trump’s claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election. “There is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump‘s failed effort at reelection in 2020,” the 33-page order...

In a move much like the European nations who halted the distribution of the Astra-Zeneca vaccine, the Food and Drug Administration called for an immediate halt to the rollout of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. This came after it was reported that six women between the ages of 18 and 48 reported blood clots and one died, after taking the vaccine. The move is odd. General reactions from social media are memes about the J&J vaccine’s supposed inferiority and skepticism of what is really going on with this particular vaccine. Many believe that there may be a coverup at works....

I was just on Citizen's Free Press, and was ignoring it for a few minutes due to a Hallmark Christmas movie. When I returned my attention to the screen, I was greeted by a grey screen with big, bold lettering proclaiming "Your account has been suspended". First time that's ever happened to me anywhere. Anyone else have this happen to them? Chances Are....

After a fierce backlash, the social media company...
