Google deletes 100,000 negative reviews of Robinhood on app store - TheBlaze:
On Thursday, after the stock trading app Robinhood froze trades of GameStop and other "volatile" stocks, outraged customers flooded app stores to give furious one-star reviews proclaiming their displeasure.

Google confirmed that it acted to delete the negative reviews to The Verge, claiming that the dissatisfied Robinhood customers leaving negative reviews violated Google's policies by intentionally trying to drive down the app's rating.

McGill Students Tried to 'Cancel' Me Over PJ Media Articles
"An open letter published by the McGill Student Society cited my publications in PJ Media and demanded that McGill University cancel me.
More specifically, the society demanded that my status as Emeritus Professor of Anthropology be revoked.
This letter was signed by the
- McGill Student society,
- anthropology undergraduate and graduate societies,
- four student Middle Eastern and Islamic groups, and
- a black student group.
The open letter targeted a more general policy, that of academic freedom.
The view expressed in the open letter is that academic freedom should not allow opinions that the signatories disagree with or facts that they might find uncongenial.
The signatories believe that they should be the arbiters of what may be thought, said, and written.

Bill Gates' latest venture imperils America: Will we submit, again?
Bill Gates' latest venture imperils America: Will we submit, again?:
The amount of wealth and power Gates continues to amass at the hands of the people's suffering is right out of Mao Zedong's "Little Red Book," also known as the playbook for communistic rule. Every man, woman and child living in the United States should be required to read it and see for themselves. And while doing so, they should also take a gander at this video, which spells out exactly what is happening to the way of life we have cherished for so long as well as how we got there. This just didn't happen overnight, folks, nor did it happen without our consent.

Horowitz: The Robinhood-GameStop scandal, lockdowns, and a two-tiered justice system - TheBlaze:
If you are not a member of the ruling oligarchy, you can buy a stock only when it benefits the ruling oligarchy, but not when the oligarch shorted the stock and will lose money. In that case, you can only sell. They, the esteemed members of the system, on the other hand, can do what they want at any point to win the rigged game.
Looking for snitches, not evidence of election theft.-----Anyone else find it interesting...?

"Anyone else find it interesting to note that the MI Secretary of State website has links for people to report "misinformation" regarding election fraud, but no link for people to submit evidence of election fraud?

Nice to see that they have an open mind."

Climate Science Victim of Fake News | Science Matters
"A recent article in the legacy media needed some editorial work in the public interest.
Published at the Business Post, it began this way:
'Climate science has long been the victim of ‘fake news’ obscuring uncomfortable truths. By pouncing on supposed uncertainties in climate science, big business interests and their supporters in the media divert attention away from the real climate emergency.'
...that is so misleading that a “False Alarm” label should be attached by fact checkers.

By exaggerating the dangers from extreme weather, entrenched environmental lobbies and ignorant media supporters frighten people for the sake of their tax-subsidized enterprises.

PETA says using animal names as verbal insults is 'supremacist language,' urges end to 'anti-animal slurs' - TheBlaze:
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is on another woke jag this week, tweeting out an appeal to humans and asking them to stop using animal names as verbal insults toward other humans.
Why? Well, doing so constitutes "supremacist language," for one thing.
Instead, PETA said, if you want to insult someone you believe lacks bravery, don't call that person a "chicken" — that would be insulting to chickens. Instead, the animal-rights organization suggested, call that person a "coward."

Will Democrats Turn America Into Venezuela? - The New American
"The New York Times wrote in November that Marxist dictator Nicolas Maduro “has left the shrinking Venezuelan economy comparable to that of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.…
The country now has the highest poverty rate in Latin America, overtaking Haiti this year.”
It took just 10 years to accomplish the feat: 
“Just a decade ago [Venezuela] rivaled the United States for regional influence.”
Now, thousands of citizens who used to work for PDVSA, the state-owned oil company, “have been reduced to dismantling [the company’s] oil facilities for scrap metal and selling their distinctive overalls, emblazoned with the company logo, to make ends meet.”
- Ten years for socialist policies implemented by Maduro to reduce South America’s most prosperous country to Third World status.
Can Democrats accomplish the same feat here in the United States, in less time?
With few barriers remaining, Democrats are relishing the opportunity to try.
And they have a nearly perfect roadmap to follow: Maduro’s...Read all!
