Government censorship

December 14, 2022 by Guest Post

by Jerry Esmay, Stevensville

In case you haven’t heard, the new owner of Twitter released internal documentation this week clearly showing how the information concerning the Hunter Biden laptop story was suppressed during the leadup to the 2020 Presidential election.  Not sure the other news outlets (?) have even mentioned this but you can get the details at Fox News. Additionally, other released information shows how conservative information and individuals were blocked with the help of the FBI. Folks, for this old codger who lived through Watergate, this is the worst abuse of power that has happened in my lifetime. You might remember that President Nixon at least had enough integrity to resign in order to put Watergate behind us, but I’ll bet Biden doesn’t have the integrity to do the same. This is governmental censorship at the highest levels and should scare the HELL out of you!

This morning as I write this, the news media (?) is overflowing with kudos for the prisoner swap that President Biden has accomplished with Russia. In my opinion, we should be ashamed of what was agreed too – we traded one of the world’s worst terrorists in order to get an obnoxious, America hating (she has refused to stand for the National Anthem) professional basketball player who was personally responsible for her incarceration (tried to smuggle marijuana into Russia.) I’m sure she and her family are happy that she has been freed, but what about the other Americans being held prisoner?

    Anybody else find it ionic that this clown shoe Biden is always preaching the merits of gun control while releasing a vile arms dealer for a pothead?

    You really wanted to see those pictures of Hunter’s frank & beans, didn’t you? Anyone who uses Fox News as a reliable source, a media empire that championed a man who abuses women, dines with Nazis and wants to suspend the Constitution so that he could steal an election, is not someone who can be taken seriously.

      Hey there Garcia…agreed on the Fox News statement…but them foxes don’t hold a candle to dem at MSNBC & CNN. But then there is a blood bath going on in the way of layoffs at those fine news networks. By the way…why is the left so afraid of Trump?

        Timothy. That you have no problem with an Unamerican, mentally unstable idiot who cozies up to Nazis, white supremacists, abuses women, attempted a coup by inviting armed protestors to the Capitol and wants to suspend the Constitution in order to overturn an election says a hell of a lot more about you than it does the left. In what world is enabling such a person acceptable?

        I’m not going to play The “both sides are bad” game with you. Have a nice day.
