  Photo credit: nrkbeta/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr I'm sure you saw AOC's little town hall in the Bronx, New York, on Wednesday, her little public, you know, Q&A for her constituents. That was embarrassing. So AOC, I don't know if she's done this before, decides to have a town hall and they book a high school in her district and seven people show up. Okay, it was more like 17, but it was a room designed for about four to five hundred people, and it is embarrassing. If you've seen the footage, it's like this is a U.S congresswoman and nobody cares. Oh well, actually a couple of people did care, and they went after her. They accused her of voting for nuclear war. That great interface accused her of voting for nuclear war, and they were praising Tulsi Gabbard and AOC, saying that if Tulsi did it, AOC should do it, and she should abandon the Democrats, but it was a complete embarrassment. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was roasted on Twitter Thursday after she cal...

President Trump explains more about his new social media site "Truth Social" | Latest Statement on TMTG

  Photo "Donald Trump" by  Dan Scavino Latest Statement on TMTG by the 45th President Donald J. Trump Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we find ourselves being censored and dictated to by a small group of self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters of what everyone else is allowed to think, say, share, and do. Nowhere is this censorship more dangerous and brazen than on social media, the public square of our times. We have seen renowned medical doctors being banned from platforms for contradicting “health author...
