Just Here for the Ratio

The biggest idiots are always the loudest and most obnoxious about it.

Et Tu, Elon?

I haven’t been this enamored of “social media” since Facebook told me wishing readers a contemplative Bill of Rights Day violated community standards.

Since the only reason I’m on “social media” (which I use as advocacy media) is to promote my work and support the work of others, I don’t solicit for “friends” or “followers” for the exact reason that to do so WOULD be spamming. They “friend” or “follow” me first.

So what this tells me is either the share utilities on this blog or AmmoLand or Firearms News triggered this OR some prohibitionist “followed” me so they could lodge complaints when my stuff appears on their feed — and some kneejerk bureaucrat then kicked it into the penalty box without assessing legitimacy. If they can do that (and we’ve established they have networks for it), then the power to censor is in the hands of the antis.

Why don’t I just quit? Who else is going to promote my work by sharing my links — the ones asking that? And for reasons I detailed here.

And if my stuff is “spam,” how come every day I get multiple follower notices like this?

I’d like to find out if Musk believes all that stuff he says about free speech. So how does a relative nobody get a world-famous billionaire’s attention?

Guilty until proven innocent with no evidence presented and/or not being able to face your accuser is the stuff of tyranny.

UPDATE

I’m told “bugs,” and not the kind Greta wants us to eat.

If They Could Figure Out a Way to Say It’s Trump’s Fault, They Would

A 13-year-old boy was groomed publicly on Twitter and kidnapped, despite numerous chances to stop it [More]

See, it’s Elon Musk’s fault that the system hasn’t;t achieved perfection yet.

Certainly not the level of dependability NBC News has attained…

A Typical Twitter Lefty

I went to HS 45 years ago. We didn’t have gun clubs or shooting ranges…because it was a school. AR-15’s didn’t exist back then either. Nor did 9mm semiautomatic pistols. Nor did hollow point rounds. [More]

Four lies in a row. Why should we believe he’s not fraudulently using the “Vet” handle to establish false authority with his moron followers?

I Think They Call What’s Happening Here ‘Ratioing’

Today, we remember and honor the life and service of Special Agents Conway LeBleu, Todd McKeehan, Robert Williams and Steven Willis, who were killed attempting to execute warrants at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, in 1993. [More]

To put it mildly, comments are not supportive.

Ready to Rumble

YouTube Censorship Of Suppressor Content & Wholesale Deletion of Creators [More]

Well, it’s not like the CEO came here for the liberty…

While it’s understandable and necessary to endorse uncensored alternatives like Rumble, the fact remains that I have accounts on Truth Social, Gab, and MeWe and don’t get anywhere near the admittedly limited exposure I get on Facebook and Twitter.

Schiff Happens

By publicly pressuring Musk to censor “hate speech,” which is indisputably covered by the First Amendment, Schiff and Takano are trying to indirectly accomplish something that the Constitution forbids. [More]

Well, it also says “shall not be infringed, but that’s never stopped either of these @$$holes.

Not Monkeying Around

Musk’s Neuralink faces federal probe, employee backlash over animal tests [More]

The obvious intent here is to destroy the man for allowing unapproved speech and to divert the conversation away from Hunter.

So naturally, leave it to The French Mistake to take point for the left-enabling Vichycons and “not understand” collusion and marching orders.

The Riddle of Steele

Michael Steele says Musk doing Twitter Files while arguing for free speech undermines ‘central tenets’ of … free speech [More]

There’s a shocker.

This is what happens when the Vichycons so desperately want a minority face to hide behind and deflect racism smears by the commies that they pick a damn Democrat-at-heart.

Stranger Than Fiction

“In my view, Twitter now is jumping to the front of the queue of the regulators,” Věra Jourová, the European Commission’s vice president for values and transparency, told POLITICO. [More]

And here Kurt Vonnegut thought he’d pushed the edge of the absurdity envelope with Diana Moon Glampers…

Funny, what happened to all those “progressives” who used to smirk at canceled “conservatives” and say “Twitter is a private company. It can do what it wants. If you don’t like it, start your own company.”

It’s also revealing how their political machine is so significantly funded by unions, where the members don’t do that, but instead, use the government to coerce changes in practices/wealth redistribution.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Washington Goes to War Against Twitter and Free Speech [More]

Those who do their dirty work in the dark fear the light.

Just Call Him Racist and Be Done with It

After Elon Musk acquired Twitter, there was a reported dramatic increase in usage of the N-word on the platform — the Network Contagion Research Institute said the term saw a 500% increase on the platform. [More]

A percentage without numbers is meaningless.

And look who they work hand-in-hand with. No political agenda there!

And there’s more than one way for government to get around that pesky First Amendment!

Elon Musk’s Twitter roils with hate speech as trolls test new limits [More]

“Trolls”? So, as with all hate hoaxes, it’s the accusers, not the accused?

Those against free speech are resorting to sabotage by smear.

Sensitive, Aren’t We?

Oh, so that’s the reason.

I appealed the warning and gave as my reason:

This tweet documents photographic evidence that Hunter Biden has committed a second firearms-related felony that no one else in the media is covering.

That and I could find a million photos on Twitter that show more skin.

I’ll letcha know what they say.

UPDATE

I just noticed someone sent me a Facebook message yesterday:

Thanks for posting the Ammoland.com article on your fB Page on June 8 & 9th. I was curious if you received any notice from fB about it because I attempted to share it on my page and immediately noticed that it goes “against Community Guidelines” Really?!?!

As a result of sharing it, my #2A businesses have been issued a 28-day ban on Facebook.

I thought it was a well-documented and written article with citations, proof, and a reasonable argument.

Because there is no “Fact-Check” or notice on the post, it must be ok with it. However, just now, in writing this message, I tried to save the article here on fB, which issued two additional warnings that it was contraband.

Again though wanted to thank you for writing the article and the interesting observation and argument presented. I am curious if you have seen any additional follow-up or responses about your presentation. Somebody doesn’t want folks to ask the question.

That, of course, was the same Hunter Biden article, and no, FB never contacted me or took any kind of ban action against me.  This and this are both still up with no warnings to me. I guess if they don’t let you know it makes exposing their censorship practices less likely.

Remember the first time they said I violated their “community standards”?

People lots bigger than me don’t want anyone to notice this. Unfortunately, I can’t create a Streisand Effect by myself.

Shock and Awe

‘How RIDICULOUS do we look?’: World leaders are openly mocking America — and it’s really no wonder why [More]

Here is a truism, a law of nature, really: Potential predator aggressors perceiving a weaker deterrence are less deterred. That increases the risks of putting those doing the deterring in harm’s way.

So to those on Twitter praising the courage this took, these two won’t be the ones taking fire.

Giving Me the Bird?

Message from a Twitter friend:

I haven’t been seeing your tweets lately, even though I have notification turned on

I tested my usename on some shadowban sites and they show it’s OK, but I figure it doesn’t hurt to ask if anyone else is noticing. Not that I ever get enough regular feedback to know…
