Court Says ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Can Be Censored By School

A federal court ruling has allowed a school to censor “Let’s Go Brandon,” preventing students from wearing the popular social media meme on shirts.

But a constitutional expert warns that it’s a “dangerous precedent” that will move the nation established on the basis of free speech the wrong direction.

Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, has testified before Congress on constitutional issues, and even represented members in court.

He cited the case of “D.A.” in Michigan, a student ordered to remove his sweater with the phrase on it.

That decision was from Judge Paul Maloney.

“Maloney rejects the free speech claim and rules that school officials can punish a student for wearing a ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ T-shirt. I believe that he is wrong and that the case sets a dangerous precedent,” Turley wrote.

“Who Is Running The Country?”: Biden On The Beach For TWO WEEKS

Joe Biden has been on holiday for a week in Santa Barbara, California. Now he has returned to Delaware… for another NINE DAY holiday, prompting Americans to ask again “who is running the country?”

The guy is just gone.

Biden arrived via Marine One Wednesday to Vandenberg Space Force Base where he boarded Air Force One straight to his Rehoboth Beach house in Delaware, where he will stay for the next nine days.

As per the Department of Defense, Air Force One costs $177,843 per hour to run, while Marine One costs approximately $20,000 per hour.

That means that this holiday alone cost at least half a million dollars.

Given that Biden spends almost half his presidency on holiday, it means the costs run into the tens of millions if not hundreds of millions.

Extreme Gaslighting: Here Are 7 Signs That The Mainstream Media Is Flat Out Lying To Us About The Economy

How many times have you heard the mainstream media tell you that the economy is doing just great in recent months?  Personally, I have seen the word “booming” used over and over again to describe the economy, and it makes me sick.  The level of gaslighting that we are witnessing right now is off the charts.  Millions of Americans are sleeping in their vehicles, thousands of businesses are failing all over the nation, and most of the country now believes that the American Dream is no longer attainable. 

If this is what a “booming” economy feels like, I would hate to see what would happen during a “recession”.

I totally understand why the mainstream media is gaslighting us.  They want us to believe that everything is fine so that we will vote a certain way in November.  They have an agenda, and they are pushing it really hard.

But what they are telling us simply does not match up with reality.

The following are 7 signs that the mainstream media is flat out lying to us about the economy…

‘Dance You Monkey’: Emails Show Biden Clean Air Official Took Commands From Chemical Lobbyist

President Joe Biden announced his intent to nominate Joe Goffman to lead the EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation on March 8, 2022. That same day, Goffman wrote to Rich Gold, a major Democratic donor and Holland & Knight lobbyist who represents clients including the American Chemistry Council, oil and gas companies, and the timber industry, to thank him.

“It’s live,” Goffman said of the job announcement, text messages reviewed by The Daily Wire show. “Will I ever be able to thank you enough?”

“Gotta get good people in these jobs,” the lobbyist said. “And need to chat next steps.”

Goffman said he would call the lobbyist “tomorrow morning so I can give you a heads up about something.”

Messages between Goffman and Gold, obtained by the watchdog group Functional Government Initiative under the Freedom of Information Act and shared with The Daily Wire, suggest that Goffman did pay the favor back. In the ensuing months, Goffman shared intimate information about dynamics within the EPA, and in one case promised to “pull a rabbit out of the hat” for Gold.

In June 2022, Gold complained that Goffman’s staff had cancelled a meeting with the American Forest & Paper Association, which paid Gold $200,000 the year prior. Goffman agreed to undo the cancellation, despite having important business to do that day.

“What do I need to do?” the EPA official asked the lobbyist.

“Dance you monkey, dance,” came the reply. “I”ll be there. With tomatoes.”

The messages do not explain what Gold did to help Goffman secure the nomination from Biden. Responding to this story, EPA spokesman Nick Conger told The Daily Wire “A wide array of people supported Joe Goffman prior to and following his nomination as Assistant Administrator in the Office of Air and Radiation. Mr. Goffman engages regularly with a variety of stakeholders – including those from the regulated community – as part of his work to protect public health and the environment.” Goffman did not comment.

The relationship is an example of the “revolving door” in which entrenched Washington insiders use connections made from brief stints in government to fuel lucrative careers peddling access to their successors. Gold worked as a special assistant to the EPA administrator from 1993 to 1994, and has been a lobbyist ever since.

Biden-Harris Administration is Probed for Potential Role in Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s Arrest

America First Legal (AFL) is attempting to shed light on the role that the Biden-Harris administration may have played in the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov.

The French-Emirati citizen was arrested in France and charged with a large number of alleged crimes – in effect, failure to censor third-party content that can be qualified as criminal behavior. However, there is suspicion that the real reason is to force Telegram to censor all content, in the style of Google or Meta. The charges also attack encryption.

Announcing its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests regarding the US State Department’s possible involvement in the arrest, AFL noted that the encrypted app is one of the world’s largest, based on the premise of protecting its users’ free speech from what the non-profit dedicated to promoting the rule of law calls “government-sponsored” censorship.

We obtained a copy of the letter for you here.

AFL cites statements made by Mike Benz, founder of the Foundation for Freedom Online and former State Department official, as the reason to suspect the current White House either had advance knowledge or has had its hand in the highly controversial arrest.

Biden admin. loses track of tens of thousands of children who crossed into US illegally

The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a Management Alert on August 19, 2024, identifying serious issues in ICE’s monitoring of unaccompanied migrant children (UCs). From 2019 to 2023, ICE transferred over 448,000 UCs to HHS but failed to track many who missed their immigration court dates, with more than 32,000 UCs missing their hearings. ICE also did not consistently notify HHS when UCs missed court and did not issue Notices to Appear (NTAs) for over 291,000 UCs.

The memorandum requests ICE take immediate action. It asks ICE to develop automated systems for better information sharing and to implement formal policies to ensure follow-up on UCs who miss court dates.

Democrat “economist” appears on CNBC and claims Trump caused 8 trillion bucks of the 35 trillion bucks in national debt – BIG FAT LIAR!!!!! 2 trillion bucks out -ignores C19 and debt interest entirely

Bharat Ramamurt thinks that the US government is not raising enough money in taxes and is especially targeting 60,000 Americans earning more than 1 million bucks a year with a 24% capital gains tax. You know how socialists hate anyone with money or who earns it. I wonder if he knows how many of these are Democratic Party donors?

He also states that discretionary spending, excluding defence, is at a very low level of 16% and uses this as an argument for tax increases. He claims that plans to increase taxes will not impact 100 million Americans – so presumably it will impact 240 million other Americans.

One big fat lie he brazenly told was that under Trump, 8 trillion of the US’ 35 trillion national debt was raised during Trump’s term. So, let’s fact check that.

Biden-Harris Administration Defends Big Tech Censorship Pressure Following Zuckerberg’s Admission

The Biden-Harris White House looks determined to justify and normalize the practice of the government colluding with private companies, in this instance Big Tech, to censor speech.

After Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Monday sent a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, admitting that his company came under pressure from the current administration to conduct censorship and that he “believes” that was wrong – the White House doubled down on the controversial, and quite possibly, unconstitutional, policy.

In his letter, Zuckerberg chose to focus on Meta censoring content related to COVID-19, and in response, a White House spokesman revealed the government does not share Zuckerberg’s stance that the policy of pressure was wrong.

“Encouragement” is how that’s phrased. “When confronted with a deadly pandemic, this administration encouraged responsible actions to protect public health and safety,” stated the White House spokesman to media requests.

He further justified the actions described by Zuckerberg as needed because the White House believes private companies, including those from the tech industry, “should take into account the effects their actions have on the American people.”

And with the stage set in this way – the spokesman concluded that these companies are then free to make “independent choices about the information they present.”

But Zuckerberg’s letter to the Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan does a pretty good job of explaining how these “independent choices” get made. Senior figures from the Biden administration, Zuckerberg stated, in 2021 “repeatedly pressured our (Facebook, Instagram) teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire.”

The decision on content removal, and introduction of new rules into platform policies to facilitate censorship, Zuckerberg concedes, was “ultimately ours” –  but made under pressure.

If Meta tried to defy these “suggestions” – the administration showed “a lot of frustration.”

Mark Zuckerberg Confirms Biden Administration Pressured Facebook on Censorship, Admits to Throttling Hunter Biden Story

In a revealing letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg has addressed significant controversies surrounding the platform’s content censorship practices, especially concerning actions taken during the 2020 presidential election cycle and the COVID-19 pandemic.

We obtained a copy of the letter for you here.

Zuckerberg confirmed that senior officials from the Biden Administration exerted “pressure” on Facebook to censor specific content related to COVID-19, criticizing the administration’s approach. Despite the external pressures, Zuckerberg emphasized that the final decisions on content moderation lay with Facebook, admitting regret over some of the decisions made under this pressure.

Kamala Harris’s Inflation Reduction Act: A Costly Flop That Fails Middle-Class Americans

The Inflation Reduction Act’s Promises

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022, championed by Democrats, promised to fix our economy with incentives like a 30% tax credit for energy-efficient appliances, solar panels, and windows. But these solutions come with sky-high upfront costs that average American families can’t afford.

Instead of addressing inflation, this bill benefits the wealthy, who can use these credits, while ordinary households face tighter budgets. Rather than easing financial pressure, this legislation represents costly government overreach that fails to deliver real relief.

The Reality of Inflation and Economic Impact

Despite the Inflation Reduction Act’s promises, inflation has remained a significant issue. In July 2023, consumer prices increased by 3.2% compared to July 2022. Although inflation showed signs of slowing down, with a 2.9% increase from July 2023, the rate remains below its peak of 9.1% from June 2022. Overall, it’s clear the Act hasn’t quite done the job it was supposed to.

Kamala Harris has played a key role in advocating for the Inflation Reduction Act, promising that the legislation would combat rising inflation and ease financial burdens on American families. Despite these assurances, the Act has not delivered the expected results.
