Mark Zuckerberg admits the TRUTH about government censorship — what now?



Americans were gaslit for years as they were told that information that was clearly being censored on social media was not being censored.

Now, in a letter to Congress, Mark Zuckerberg has admitted to caving to government pressure and shadow-banning certain viewpoints and accounts.

“In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree,” Zuckerberg wrote in the letter.

“Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure. I believe the government pressure was wrong, and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it,” he continued.

Zuckerberg went on to explain a warning the company received from the FBI regarding a potential Russian disinformation operation that involved the Biden family and Burisma in the lead-up to the 2020 election.

When the New York Post reported on corruption allegations involving the then-Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, the story was temporarily demoted while waiting for a fact-check.

“It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story,” Zuckerberg wrote.

Glenn Beck is not exactly impressed by Zuckerberg’s admission.

“Well, Mark, that’s big of you,” Glenn says sarcastically. “Thank you, thank you very much. I appreciate that. I just would like to ask if I can get, you know, unbanned now. You know, can you not shadow-ban me now?”

Peter Schweizer explains how the Clintons paved the road of corruption for Joe Biden



While America’s founders were mostly concerned about Great Britain, they were also worried about elected officials being given commercial opportunities as a form of persuasion.

Investigative journalist Peter Schweizer believes that political attitudes began to turn on this issue under Bill and Hillary Clinton.

“It was really the Clintons that turbocharged this,” Schweizer tells Mark Levin.

“When Bill Clinton started accepting $750,000 to speak for 20 minutes overseas, everybody realized these weren’t speaking fees, these were bribes disguised as speaking fees,” he explains.

Meanwhile, the Clinton Foundation began accepting $10 million donations from foreign governments while Hillary was secretary of state.

“If this stuff is allowed to happen,” Schweizer continues, “If the Clintons get away with it, and they largely did, other people are going to start doing the same thing.”

Now, the Bidens are following suit.

“The Bidens are even more blatant and direct about it than the Clintons were,” he says, noting that the foreign governments they’re dealing with are largely our greatest enemies.

“It’s going to get worse until enough people in Washington are prepared to stand up and say, ‘No, we’re not tolerating this anymore, this goes beyond the pale, it has to stop,'” Schweizer adds.

Levin is in agreement.

“Either you want to fight to save your country, or we’re going to lose it,” he says.

Rep. Harriet Hageman: Hunter Biden Used Addictions As ‘A Sword And A Shield’

Hunter Biden confirmed putting his father in touch with his corrupt 'business associates' in closed-door testimony Wednesday.

Hunter Biden Spent HOW MUCH on 'women' and 'adult entertainment'?



Hunter Biden is one of the world’s most obvious criminals who has yet to face any consequences.

The president’s beloved son has been indicted for multiple felonies, including numerous tax evasion charges. But what was he doing while he was evading taxes?

Spending. A lot.

“Biden, did you know that your son was spending an awful lot of money?” Glenn Becks says, noting that when Biden didn’t pay his income tax, estimated at about $1.4 million, he was withdrawing even more from the ATM.

Hunter has reportedly taken $1,664,004 out of ATMs over the course of four years.

“I didn’t know you could get all of that money from an ATM, but apparently you can,” Glenn says.

In addition, Hunter went on to spend a whopping $23,567 on sports and recreation and $309,277 over a four-year period on education. He then spent $39,801 on home help, cleaning, and child care and $42,856 on home improvement and maintenance.

He spent $58,542 on credit card payments, $53,000 on Wells Fargo advisers, and $71,869 on rehab.

“Maybe some of those Wells Fargo’s people should have said, ‘You know what, maybe just stop drinking and stop going into rehab, you’d save $71,000,’” Glenn jokes.

But that’s not the worst of it.

Hunter Biden spent $118,440 on his telephone and utilities and $147,566 on legal and accounting fees.

And if you thought degenerate activities were lacking on this list, then you were right. There’s more.

Biden’s son spent $188,960 on adult entertainment, $683,212 on payments to various women, $397,530 on clothing and accessories, $236,634 on miscellaneous retail purchases, and $237,496 on health, beauty, and pharmacy.

Glenn is curious as to where Hunter got all this money and realizes that this is a massive issue in our world today.

“We are disconnected from the ruling class entirely. From the media and the ruling class. I don’t know who they’re representing besides themselves and the people who are even richer than them,” Glenn says.

“They’re not answering to the people really anywhere in the world.”

Poll: Nearly 7 In 10 Americans Understand Biden’s Role In Family Biz Is ‘Illegal’ Or At Least ‘Unethical’

The poll shows most Americans understand that Biden participated in the influence-peddling scheme that enriched his family by millions.

James Biden’s Role In The Biden Access-For-Hire Operation Shows It Was A Family Affair

James Biden's participation shows just how much of a family affair the scandal is, with Joe Biden, the family's 'only asset,' at the top.

Guest schools Bill Maher, Sam Harris over double standard media give Biden after speaking truth about Trump-Russia lie



Conservative commentator Mary Katharine Ham masterfully exposed on Friday the double standard the media are using to protect President Joe Biden from allegations of corruption.

The "original sin," Ham told Maher and Sam Harris on HBO's "Real Time," and why Republicans distrust the media and government institutions is the concerted effort to make Donald Trump guilty of Russia collusion when the evidence was, in the end, never there.

That distrust has been exacerbated, she explained, by institutions that hold a Democratic president to a different standard.

"The standard of evidence used for the Russia thing for three, four years vs. the standard of evidence used now in media for Biden and Hunter Biden's shenanigans and fairly obvious influence-peddling is worlds apart — worlds apart — and voters deserve fairness in how these two people are treated," Ham said. "They do not get it, and they sometimes don't get it from law enforcement."

Harris actually agreed that if "Hunter Biden had been Don Jr., if it had been Don Jr.'s laptop, everything would change in terms of the reception." He acknowledged the "unfair asymmetry" of the situation but blamed it on Trump because the former president, in his view, violated democratic norms.

In response, Ham quickly pointed out that Trump is not the only guilty party to violate the "norms."

"I agree with you about the norms, and here's the problem," she explained. "A bunch of people, including in the justice system, looked at Trump and said, 'He's going to bust all the norms, and you know what we need to do? Bust all the norms to stop him!' And that was a very, very unhealthy decision.

Once again, Ham forced Harris into agreement.

"It's unhealthy, I'll grant you that," he said.

Mary Katharine Ham challenges Bill Maher & Sam Harris on Russiagate www.youtube.com

Earlier in the segment, Ham sent Harris and Maher into a tizzy by calling out the Trump-Russia conspiracy.

"The reason that so many [Republicans] accept so much of Donald Trump's behavior is because the Russia stuff was a lie, and nobody paid for it," she said.

Both Harris and Maher immediately objected. They claimed it "wasn't all a lie" and alleged part of the infamous Steele dossier "was true." And despite special counsel Robert Mueller finding no collusion between Trump and Russia, Maher claimed the collusion was "unprecedented."

"This was always David Frum's line: Everything [Trump is] doing is in plain-view and it's not illegal. He's just violating every political norm we have," Harris rebutted.

"There were things that were illegal," Ham fired back. "Like using the FISA Court to spy on American citizens in ways they shouldn't have done. And the fact that the Hillary Clinton campaign was partially funding the dossier, which partially came from — oh, wait for it — Russian disinformation. And it started this cycle of media circle-jerk, and then we had four years of that."

Did Turley really say that? Dems, media desperately try to spin one sentence at impeachment inquiry hearing



Democrats and the media desperately tried to spin on Thursday Jonathan Turley's expert testimony about the House impeachment inquiry targeting President Joe Biden.

A professor at the George Washington University Law School, Turley is one of the most distinguished constitutional scholars of his generation. Congress regularly relies on his constitutional expertise, including at the impeachment hearings for Bill Clinton and Donald Trump and now at an impeachment inquiry for Biden.

On Thursday, Democrats and the media seized on one sentence of Turley's testimony at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Biden impeachment inquiry to make it appear as though he supports their position that the inquiry is unwarranted and unnecessary.

"I do not believe that the evidence currently meets the standard of a high crime and misdemeanor needed for an article of impeachment," Turley said.

The official social media account belonging to House Judiciary Democrats reposted the 7-second clip. The Daily Beast and congressional reporter Jamie Dupree amplified the quote, as did the Biden campaign and numerous others.

The problem, of course, is that quote is taken grossly out of context.

Yes, Turley said it. But here's the full quote, according to his pre-written testimony:

It is important to emphasize what this hearing is not. It is not a hearing on articlesof impeachment. The House has launched an impeachment inquiry, and I am appearing todiscuss the history and purpose of such inquiries. I have previously stated that, while Ibelieve that an impeachment inquiry is warranted, I do not believe that the evidencecurrently meets the standard of a high crime and misdemeanor needed for an article ofimpeachment. The purpose of my testimony today is to discuss how past inquiriespursued evidence of potentially impeachable conduct.

To summarize: Turley believes that, currently, there is not enough evidence to impeach Biden. But he also believes there is enough to launch an impeachment inquiry, the purpose of which is to investigate whether evidence exists to meet the Constitution's impeachment requirements.

"[T]he House has passed the threshold for an inquiry into whether President Joe Biden was directly involved or benefited from the corrupt practices of his son, Hunter, and others," Turley explained.

Democrats, meanwhile, attempted to tarnish Turley's credibility during the hearing.

WH tries to spin Chinese bank wires sent to Joe Biden's Delaware address — but Hunter's plea deal gets in the way



The White House is desperately trying to spin new allegations that President Joe Biden's Delaware residence was the beneficiary address of two Chinese payments involving Hunter Biden's overseas business.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R) revealed the bombshell allegation on Tuesday.

"On July 26, 2019, Hunter Biden received a $10,000 wire from Wang Xin. On August 2, 2019, Hunter Biden received a $250,000 wire from Jonathan Li and Tan Ling," a press release from the Overnight Committee reported. "Both wires originated in Beijing and Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home is listed as the beneficiary address for both wires."

White House spokesperson Ian Sams called the new allegations "bananas."

Responding to a journalist who called the allegations a "fake, would-be gotcha" because, allegedly, Hunter was living at Biden's Delaware home in 2019, Sams responded, "Imagine them arguing that, if someone stayed at their parents' house during the pandemic, listed it as their permanent address for work, and got a paycheck, the parents somehow also worked for the employer.

"It's bananas," he declared. "Yet this is what extreme House Republicans have sunken to."

— (@)

But there's a significant problem with Sams' response.

The now-defunct plea deal that Hunter struck with federal prosecutors included a statement of facts that Hunter agreed is true when he entered into the deal. In that statement of facts, Hunter agreed that he was living on the other side of the country — in California, not Delaware — in 2019.

That document states:

After numerous programs and trips to rehab, Biden got sober in May 2019, the same month he married his current wife. He has remained sober since. Biden remained in California and spent much of Summer 2019 painting and developing plans for his memoir, which he began working on through the fall and into the winter.

Questions about the payments themselves aside, it's not clear why Joe Biden's address was used if they were meant for Hunter, especially if Hunter agreed in court, as the plea document shows, that he lived in California in the summer of 2019 — the same time the payments were sent.

Hunter also attested to his California residency at the time of the wire transfers in his memoir, the New York Post reported.

Abbe Lowell, an attorney for Hunter, said the Delaware address was used because that was the address on Hunter's driver's license at the time.

'Don't fall for it': Hunter Biden indictment raises serious concerns — especially about what is missing so far



Hunter Biden was indicted on three felony gun charges on Thursday. The development, a far cry from the prior sweetheart plea deal, drew scrutiny and raised more questions than answers.

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, for instance, called the indictment a "fig leaf" and urged Americans not to "fall for it."

"Don't fall for it," Ramaswamy said. "This is a fig leaf designed to deflect attention away from the real problem: the Biden family is selling out U.S. foreign policy for their own family’s private financial gain. That's really what’s wrong, and we must hold politicians in both major political parties when they use our foreign policy to enrich their family members."

— (@)

Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy raised similar concerns.

Speaking on Fox News, McCarthy called the gun charges the only criminal charges "that this prosecutor could've brought against Hunter in which Hunter's father is not implicated."

"Everything else, the most important conduct in the case, all involves the sale of Joe Biden's political influence," he explained. "That is still out there, hasn't been brought, and ... it's been slow-walked so that even if he started to bring tax cases now, [Weiss] made sure that the three years in which Joe Biden was vice president in the Obama administration, those years are no longer open to be prosecuted. Charges arising out of that have now been time-barred."


Constitutional law scholar Jonathan Turley agreed that what special counsel David Weiss is not pursuing — at least from the public's perspective — is more important than what he has charged thus far.

"It's conspicuous ... as to what was not charged. They were giving out [Foreign Agents Registration Act] charges against Trump officials with great speed and alacrity. You know, they hit Paul Manafort with charges based on the same facts," Turley said on Fox News.

He explained:

What the media is ignoring is these uncharged crimes do have one common possible motive: When you don’t declare yourself a foreign agent, when you don’t declare income, when you create these questionable international transfers, all of them can effectively succeed in hiding that trail.

If you declare income, you got to say where the income came from. If you declare yourself a foreign agent, you have to explain what you’re doing for foreign governments. And if you create this labyrinth of accounts through different shell companies and through different banks, it makes it harder for people to see those transfers. All of that fits a unified theory of an influence peddling scheme that did involve potential criminal acts so I think it’s rather obvious that the one outlier, the gun charge, is the only thing that has been charged.


Attorney Mike Davis, a former law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, also urged Americans, "Don’t be fooled."

"Weiss, handpicked by both Democrat home-state senators in Delaware, let the statute of limitations expire on serious tax charges, buried evidence deemed credible by the Pittsburgh U.S. Attorney of the Bidens' alleged foreign bribery schemes, and attempted to give Hunter a sweetheart deal with secret, broad immunity that protected President Biden," Davis said.

"[W]here are Hunter's charges related to foreign corruption, acting as an unregistered foreign agent, tax evasion, wire fraud, and other criminal charges that could implicate President Biden?" Davis asked.

— (@)

The indictment came two days after House Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden over allegations of corruption. Republicans allege that Biden, as vice president, was engaged in a "criminal bribery scheme" that involved "an exchange of money for policy decisions."

Biden denies any wrongdoing, and the White House is working with the media to ramp up scrutiny of the allegations themselves — not scrutiny of those with power, the Bidens.
