Reps. Loudermilk and Johnson announce release of 5,000 hours of Jan. 6 footage following arrest of Blaze Media's Steve Baker | Blaze Media: 

According to the Republican congressmen, this release is but a trickle compared to the coming flood, as far more footage will be released in the coming weeks and months. Additionally, at the direction of Johnson, faces will not be blurred in the footage in the interest of "getting this work completed as responsibly and efficiently as possible." Already, the footage Loudermilk made available to Steve Baker has served to greatly undermine the Jan. 6 narrative advanced by Democratic lawmakers and their allies in the media.

Online censorship in the UK has led to far more arrests than the first Red Scare

Online censorship in the UK has led to far more arrests than the first Red Scare - GREG LUKIANOFF AND ADAM GOLDSTEIN

• Cancel Culture is happening on a historic scale, Part 4

Part 1 of this exploration of Cancel Culture used the response to speech after 9/11 to predict the campus climate after the October 7 attacks on Israel. 

Part 2 explored the Sedition Act of 1798 to illustrate that the number of victims isn’t enough to gauge the severity of a censorship crisis. 

Part 3 delved into the American Victorian era and why it’s the best analogue to modern Cancel Culture.

Today, we’ll examine the first Red Scare and the Palmer Raids which took place following World War I. Then, we’ll hop across the pond to the United Kingdom to compare the level of arrests in the U.K. for offensive speech on the internet to the arrests during first Red Scare 

(Spoiler: the numbers are worse than the two years of the first Red Scare)...

The left took over mainstream media. Now Soros is buying out talk radio. | Blaze Media

The left took over mainstream media. Now Soros is buying out talk radio. | Blaze Media: 

George Soros has spent more than $21 billion over the last few decades. He spent $1.3 billion in 2022 alone. Most of that cash went to left-wing causes, including Media Matters, Planned Parenthood, and the Sunrise Movement. He is the guy who has installed radical prosecutors and radical attorneys general all over the country, and now he’s buying up talk radio.

Why would you do that? Why would you buy all those broadcasters? It seems like it’s a failing industry, right? It isn’t. About 80% of Americans still listen to radio. That statistic is incredible. And now the second-largest broadcaster is going to be in the hands of the Soros family.

Minnesota universities tout land acknowledgments that distort history, scholars say | The College Fix

Minnesota universities tout land acknowledgments that distort history, scholars say | The College Fix - MARGARET PEPPIATT 

• ‘Warfare was brutal. Dakota warriors killed men, women, and children indiscriminately, and scalping was ingrained in their culture.’

"In recent years, higher institutions across the U.S. have increasingly issued formal “land acknowledgments” recognizing the American Indian tribes that formerly inhabited the land.

• But such statements blatantly ignore that Native Americans violently took the land over from other tribes and have also been financially compensated for the land, two scholars said in interviews this month with The College Fix...

While the statements vary in length and content, some Minnesotan universities use language asserting that an institution “occupies” the homelands of the Dakota people and seeks to remedy “ongoing injustices.”...

Common sense thought control - Don Surber

"...I thought about that Kookie song as I read the New York Post story, “MSNBC legal analyst (Barbara McQuade, a University of Michigan law professor) says First Amendment makes U.S. ‘vulnerable,’ calls for ‘common sense’ speech restrictions.”...
McQuade is not interested in stopping those lies by the government. 

No, no, no. 

• She is interested in silencing those of us who tell such truths as Obama had the FBI spy on Donald Trump and covered it up with a whacky tale of Putin being in cahoots with The Donald.
• But for that darned Constitution, it would be easy for fascists like her to shut us up. She is unhappy with that situation.

She said, “Of course, the Supreme Court has held that all fundamental rights, even the right to free speech, can be limited as long as there is a compelling governmental interest and the restriction is narrowly tailored to achieve that interest. But I think any time someone tries to do anything that might limit free speech, people claim censorship.”
How dare they claim censorship is censorship.

Her best line was “We need to have a conversation and common-sense solutions to these things. Instead, we throw out terms like censorship, call each other names, use labels and retreat to our opposite sides. We need to be pragmatic and come up with real solutions.”...

Texas AG victorious after court rules Pelosi-led Congress' $1.7B spending bill was passed unlawfully | Blaze Media

Texas AG victorious after court rules Pelosi-led Congress' $1.7B spending bill was passed unlawfully | Blaze Media: 

The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas agreed with Paxton in its ruling Tuesday, stating that the former Congress run by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had indeed violated the Constitution, specifically the Quorum Clause contained with Article I, Section 5. "Congress acted egregiously by passing the largest spending bill in U.S. history with fewer than half the members of the House bothering to do their jobs, show up, and vote in person," Paxton said in a statement.

"...let me point your attention to an article I recently came across. 

The article recapped a webinar by Dr. Pat Fagan, a longtime clinical therapist and social scientist specializing in studies relating to family and religious issues. 

• According to Fagan, children performed better in school when they came from an intact family (no surprise there), 

• but they performed even better when that intact family regularly attended church.

“The impact of religious worship is massive and powerful right throughout education,” Fagan said.
“And it is the totally neglected aspect in education research.
This is a scandal in the social sciences, that this data is not made known.”...

"Michigan Bureau of Elections will no longer be denoting in the state voter registration database whether or not a voter 

• voted Absentee, 
• Election Day 
• or via Early Voting. 

This change provides those intent upon subverting the integrity of our elections 

• free rein to shuffle ballots between these voting methods and 
• inhibits the ability of auditors to verify the chain of custody for election records. 

There is no good reason for this change. 

• This is what happens when the criminals are allowed to make laws.

"...When studying this issue, it is critical that we recognize how intentional it all is.

• Joe Biden’s writers have him deliver ridiculous sentences like this: “The laws haven’t kept up with our broken immigration system.” 
• Such a position is patently false.

Our laws clearly provide for a certain, reasonable number of legal immigrants every year, with allocations apportioned across the world, with a careful vetting system to reduce the odds of allowing in criminals, terrorists, or other enemy operatives...

• There is nothing wrong with any of those laws or processes. 
• They all work, when allowed to. 
• They just need to be enforced...

Feds 'selectively prosecuted' 'far-right' agitators while letting Antifa walk: California judge | Blaze Media: 

"There is no doubt that the government did not prosecute similarly situated individuals," Carney wrote in a decision released February 21. "Despite the involvement of both the far left and far right, the federal government never charged far-left activists under the Anti-Riot Act for their violence at these political rallies," the decision continued, despite the fact that members of Antifa and BAMN "engaged in worse conduct and in fact instigated much of the violence that broke out at these otherwise constitutionally protected rallies."
