Elon Musk admits to Joe Rogan that old Twitter censored conservatives at '10x the rate of Democrats'
It wasn’t that long ago that Twitter was owned by Jack Dorsey and operated by leftists who loved nothing more than to give the boot to anyone who diverged from the accepted narrative, which, of course, was handcrafted by Democrats. As a result, many conservatives were kicked off the platform and effectively prevented from sharing their ideas.
However, that all changed when Elon Musk purchased the company and lifted the ban on sharing conservative thoughts and opinions.
Musk recently joined Joe Rogan on "The Joe Rogan Experience," and the subject of Twitter’s dark days was one topic of conversation.
“From the standpoint of some of the people who used to be at Twitter,” Musk said, there’s been “a big shift to the right.”
“That is correct. It is a shift to the right because everything is to the right if you’re far-left,” he explained, “but how many far-left people have been suspended or banned from Twitter, now X? Zero.”
Further, “the degree to which Twitter was simply an arm of the government was not well understood by the public,” Musk told Rogan, adding that “a state publication is the way to think of old Twitter.”
“Was the justification from their perspective that they are progressive liberals [and] they have the right intentions, [so] it's important that they stay in power?” asked Rogan.
“There was basically oppression of any views that would even, I would say, be considered middle of the road, but certainly anything on the right; I’m not talking far-right, I’m talking mildly right,” Musk explained.
“Republicans were suppressed at 10 times the rate of Democrats, [and] that’s because old Twitter was fundamentally controlled by the far left,” he added.
“To say that Twitter is an arm of the government and that conservative voices were suppressed 10 times more than liberal voices ... wow,” says Chad Prather. “Is that what I hear him saying? That Twitter was just government propaganda? ... You gotta let that stuff sink in.”

Joe Biden's latest claims about vaccinations and the economy warrant a FACT-CHECK
If you’re a fan of laughing at President Joe Biden, there’s good news.
As of this weekend, there are even more reasons to laugh. Biden took to the podium to tell a cheering audience that while his detractors often poke fun at his age, he still saved the country.
“I vaccinated the nation and rebuilt the economy,” he said triumphantly (and stupidly).
“Those aren’t the wins you think they are,” Keith Malinak comments, laughing. Pat Gray is in agreement, noting that Biden “forced” many Americans to get vaccinations, and “people are still dying to this day from that.”
“The vaccine has really messed up some lives, and you forced people into getting it, otherwise they’d lose their jobs,” Gray continues, adding, “and the economy is in shambles. Are you seriously trying to claim that you fixed the economy?”
But Biden didn’t stop at claiming he “vaccinated the nation” and “rebuilt the economy.”
“When Russia invaded Ukraine, I knew what to do. I rebuilt NATO and brought our alliance to rally the world,” he told the audience.
Gray notes that the only reason Russia invaded Ukraine under Biden is because the Russians were afraid to do it under Trump.
“They had the green light now because Biden’s in office,” he says. “So he knew what to do. Start sending them hundreds of billions of dollars, and hundreds of billions of dollars worth of weapons that we now don’t have. Send them all our ammo, which we now face a shortage of.”
But according to Biden, despite all his “wins,” he still has more work to do.
“I wish I could say the threat to our democracy has ended with our victory in 2020, but it didn’t. Our democracy is still at stake. We have more work to do, you and I,” Biden continued. “Because our most important freedom is the right to choose, the right to vote, the right to be who you are, love who you love. These basic rights are being attacked.”
The president went on to claim that children are now afraid of being gunned down in school by “weapons of war” because of the people “banning books.”
“Nobody’s banning books, douchebag,” Gray says. “Stop your lies.”

NEW: This might be the FUNNIEST Trump clip EVER
Donald Trump doesn’t mince words.
In a newly released video, he went absolutely nuclear on President Joe Biden — and pretty much everyone on the internet is here for it.
“Crooked Joe Biden is not only dumb and incompetent, I believe that he has gone mad. A stark raving lunatic with his horrible and country-threatening environmental, open borders, and DOJ, FBI weaponization policies,” Trump said.
“He is a mental catastrophe that is leading our country to hell. We’ll end up in World War III because of this man and for no reason whatsoever,” he continued.
Chad Prather watched the clip and not only agrees but can’t stop laughing.
“Listen, where’s the lie? There’s nothing that you can point to right there that says that he was inaccurate on that,” Prather says.
“I mean, that sounds like I wrote that speech for Donald Trump. That sounds like I put that together on the teleprompter. Those are the kind of things I would say, so thank you, DJT, for saying that,” he adds.
While some, including Glenn Beck, are worried about Trump’s ability to campaign from a jail cell, Trump eased concerns by telling Glenn he has a great case against those who are persecuting him.
Prather agrees, noting that Trump’s support also hasn’t waned, and his interview with Tucker Carlson on the night of the Republican debates received 261 million views.
“We know from the 2020 election that Joe Biden is obviously the most popular president in the history of the world, 81 million votes,” Prather mocks.
“Everybody loves Joe Biden and everybody hates Donald Trump. Nobody wants anything to do with Trump. Then tell me how it gets 261 million views. Tell me how after a mug shot, they raise eight million dollars.”

Maui resident explains how 'everybody' in Hawaii feels about Joe Biden right now
We all know at this point that Maui has suffered unspeakable tragedy as hundreds upon hundreds of acres were torched to the ground.
Well, minus the mansions that belonged to billionaires and celebrities. Their properties are fine.
But a huge portion of Lahaina residents have had to cope with the loss of their homes as well as friends and family who perished in the fires.
The whole ordeal has been fishy from start to finish. It’s no wonder then that people across the nation are demanding answers. However, nobody feels the need for answers more keenly than the people directly impacted by the catastrophe.
Pat Gray plays a clip of one Maui citizen who was asked to recount her experience.
“Still today, I haven’t had any money come in. I haven’t had anybody call me back. ... I have no idea,” she laments. “I lost my house, I lost my car, I lost my animals,” and “I still cannot get my meds” because “my medicine was all burnt in my house.”
“I think Joe Biden should take his $700 and get back on the f****** plane and go home,” she rants.
“$700 compared to all the millions he’s giving to Ukraine. Why? We need it! ... We’re citizens, and we cannot get money,” she tells the interviewer. “Fix your house before you fix somebody else’s house.”
And when asked whether other Hawaiians and locals share her feelings, she said, “Everybody feels that way.”
Who can blame her anger when the average Ukrainian family receives $3,100 from the United States?
“That's like direct assistance from your paycheck to a Ukrainian household,” adds Keith Malinek.
