The Founder and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Twitter, Jack Dorsey has created a new social platform called ‘Bluesky,’ a social networking ecosystem based on decentralized protocols.

Jack Dorsey also helped destroy free speech in the United States.

In May, Jack Dorsey stepped down from the social media giant’s Board effective immediately. 

Dorsey was attacked by the Democrats for agreeing with Musk’s opinion that banning former President Donald Trump from the social media platform was a poor decision.

In a statement, he expressed regret for the “business decision.”

Banning Trump from Twitter “was a morally bad decision, to be clear, and foolish in the extreme,” Musk said at a Financial Times conference on Tuesday. Musk was quick to state that former CEO and founder of Twitter Jack Dorsey agreed.

“I do agree,” Dorsey wrote. “There are exceptions (CSE, illegal behavior, spam or network manipulation, etc), but generally permanent bans are a failure of ours and don’t work.” 

I do agree. There are exceptions (CSE, illegal behaviour, spam or network manipulation, etc), but generally permanent bans are a failure of ours and don’t work, which I wrote about here after the event (and called for a resilient social media protocol): https://t.co/fQ9KnrCQGX

Dorsey was “partially to blame” for the current state of our internet today and claimed that he regrets it.

“The days of usenet, irc, the web…even email (w PGP)…were amazing. centralizing discovery and identity into corporations really damaged the internet. I realize I’m partially to blame, and regret it,” Dorsey said in his tweet.

Now, the former CEO is launching a new social media platform called “Bluesky.”

CNBC reported:

Bluesky is a public benefit corporation trying to build a new “open and decentralised” form of social media. The platform aims to create a standard protocol for social media platforms. Once fully developed, it would allow separate social media networks to interact with each other via an open standard, despite each network having its own curation and moderation systems.

Bluesky was conceived as the solution to the failures of Twitter. It was announced at a time when social media networks were being accused of data misappropriation, misinformation and election interference. In fact, Jack Dorsey introduced the project in a Twitter thread that justified the ban of Donald Trump on the platform.

“We are trying to do our part by funding an initiative around an open decentralised standard for social media. Our goal is to be a client of that standard for the public conversation layer of the internet. We call it Bluesky,” read Dorsey’s tweet.

Essentially, Bluesky was created and funded by its parent company, Twitter, and the goal was for Twitter to eventually adopt the technology. To that extent, Bluesky received $13 million in funding from Twitter, with no conditions or commitments except to keep the research going.

Bluesky’s leading proponent, Jack Dorsey, is no longer part of Twitter. Moreover, Elon Musk recently fired Dorsey’s successor, Parag Agrawal. As such, Bluesky has officially lost two of its biggest supporters from within Twitter. This means that future support from the microblogging website would be minimal, if any at all.
However, leaked conversations between Musk and Dorsey paint a different picture. The Tesla CEO is said to have called Bluesky a “super interesting idea” and expressed his desire to help if he could. Dorsey reciprocated that positivity when Musk’s Twitter takeover was announced. “Elon is the singular solution I trust… this is the right path. I believe it with all my heart,” he said.
This could point to future collaboration between the two. However, Bluesky is still a long way from being a complete product, and only time will tell how things actually shape up.

Top staff to Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) are planning secret post-election preparations to force every child in the state of Illinois to receive a COVID-19 vaccination, or else they will be barred from attending school.

According to the internal emails from the Illinois Department of Public Health obtained by Wood House Substack, Pritzker is allegedly considering including the COVID shot in the school vaccination program.

It can be recalled that the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to recommend COVID-19 vaccines to be included in the 2023 childhood immunization schedule in 15 unanimous votes.

Following the CDC committee recommendation, Illinois state representative Dagmara Avelar’s office sent an email on October 25th after she received feedback from constituents.

“There’s no response from IDPH to Avelar’s office in the set of partially-redacted emails I obtained. There is, however, some back and forth between the IDPH staff about the membership of and meeting schedule for the Immunization Advisory Committee (IAC). That group would have to recommend the vaccine be added to the school schedule before the rest of the process moves forward,” the substack added.

“On October 27th, a few hours after Pritzker put the onus for school shots on lawmakers, a question from the Governor’s Office was raised in an email thread between IDPH staff,” Wood House wrote.

Deputy director Shannon Lightner wrote, “From the GO [Governor’s Office]: To add immunizations, do we have to go through the Committee and have three hearings?”

Heidi Clark, Division Chief of Infectious Diseases, responded, “That seems to be the case. First, IAC then after IAC makes recommendations, SBOH conducts three public hearings geographically distributed throughout the state, and then SBOH develops a report with recommendations to Director. Director then takes their recommendations into consideration to move forward with rules. No statutory changes are necessary, which is a plus, but those meetings would be pretty rough, I’m sure…”

Is Joe Biden anti-semitic or is he just following Obama’s orders?

According to FOX News:

President Biden has yet to call Benjamin Netanyahu and congratulate him on his win in this week’s Israeli elections, even though interim Prime Minister Yair Lapid conceded defeat.

A National Security Council spokesperson told Fox News Digital that President Biden will speak with Netanyahu “soon,” but avoided outright naming Netanyahu the prime minister-elect – instead saying that “Mr. Netanyahu, after winning a plurality in the Knesset, is likely to be tasked with forming a government over the coming days.”

“The president has known and worked with Bibi Netanyahu for many years,” the spokesperson added. “They worked closely together when Netanyahu was prime minister last year, and they met again during the president’s visit to Israel in July.”

Whatever – Biden hasn’t called Israel’s new leader but he immediately called the socialist Lula in Brazil even though the current President Bolsonaro hasn’t conceded due to voter fraud.

Biden and Blinken were swift to recognize Brazil’s President-elect Lula da Silva even though Jair Bolsonaro has yet to officially concede defeat, instead simply authorizing his chief of staff to begin the transition process – and Blinken on Friday called Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to discuss “joint efforts” to enhance Palestinian security and reaffirm the commitment to a two-state solution.

Biden congratulated the socialist Lula on Twitter the night the results were shared with the public.

I send my congratulations to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on his election to be the next president of Brazil following free, fair, and credible elections. I look forward to working together to continue the cooperation between our two countries in the months and years ahead.

— President Biden (@POTUS) October 31, 2022

Obama appeared to be anti-semitic in his actions against Israel and his support for Muslim nations. Maybe Biden is just following Obama’s directions.

The American Liberty Movement released a powerful ad this week on the disgusting move by liberal educators across the country to include porn books with actual sex scenes in school libraries.

The Democrat Party has yet to condemn this repugnant development.

The ad is shocking and powerful.

WARNING: The words in this ad and images are shocking but directly from a book that is in public schools around America. America’s children are being groomed by Leftists with this smut . . . and it MUST END.

Vote Republican!

Warning on Content:

Investigative journalist Laura Loomer is behind the ads for PAC American Liberty Fund.

This GP journalist was one of the first to expose the depravity of Gender Queer and was ejected from an Orange County Public School Board meeting in the fall of 2021 for daring to read segments aloud from the book. It was okay to provide to underage school children behind their parents backs, but it was too graphic to share with a room of adults.

This is the hard-hitting style of campaigning that the GOP needs to employ more often, rather than cookie-cutter focus-grouped spots that do nothing to motivate anyone outside of the voting demographic already intending on casting their ballot for the Republican candidate. Highlighting the attack on parental rights, filthy pornography in our public schools, the invasion of critical race theory as early as kindergarten are topics that activate Independents and even some Democrats to rethink who they should vote for.

American Liberty Fund has also released an ad in Pennsylvania, which has a hotly contested gubernatorial and United States Senate race, where Democrat Josh Shapiro is running against Republican Doug Mastriano. Stroked out John Fetterman, the current Democrat Lt. Governor is our course running against Republican nominee Dr. Oz.

Current Democrat Governor Tom Wolf kept the state on lockdown and issued unconstitutional mandates from the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Shapiro, who wants to succeed Wolf, has been open about his willingness to return to that state of fear and the American Liberty Fund is warning Pennsylvanians about how he would likely require schoolchildren to be vaccinated, despite clear evidence of the deadly side-effects of the experimental vaccines.

Again, the Pennsylvania ad hits way harder than the GOP establishment commercials, which are literally the same content that the America Last wing of the Republican Party have been running for decades on repeat.

Loomer was featured on the War Room yesterday discussing the ads, which you can watch below.

In an exclusive quote to this GP journalist the following, while explaining that veteran political strategist and Trump advisor Roger Stone inspired her during the process. Stone pioneered hard hitting campaign ads decades ago through the National Conservative Political Action Committee. Stylistically and strategically, Stone’s work with NCPAC have become the gold standard in no-holds-barred political advertisements.

“With the publication of these recent ads addressing childhood vaccine injuries and the sexualization of our kids in the American public school system, we have shown that the American Liberty Fund (ALF) PAC, is the tip of the spear when it comes to hard hitting political messaging. Gone are the days of boiler plate, cookie cutter Ads produced by the out of touch, overpaid, and sanctimonious GOP establishment consultant class.

ALF will be airing these ads on nationally ahead of the 2022 midterms. Roger Stone’s style really helped me develop these ads, helping me find a way to be blunt and effective at the same time. 

We are giving the grassroots their voice back!”, said Laura Loomer, former America First Republican candidate who is now working for ALF as their executive producer. Loomer wrote and produced these ads for ALF.”

While the Republican Party, nationally and locally have largely stayed away from calling the insanity of the modern Democrat Party on their efforts to sexualize children and force dangerous unproven vaccines on schoolchildren, the American Liberty Fund seems to be the exception to the rule.

You can help their efforts by clicking here. The group is led by former GOP Congressman Bob Barr, who has long been an advocate for true liberty and freedom, both during his time in the United States Congress and as a private citizen.

Ron DeSantis is the latest politician to fall victim to one of Trump’s famous nicknames.

In times past Trump has coined Low Energy Jeb, Sleepy Joe, Crooked Hillary, Little Marco Rubio, and the list goes on and on.

During last night’s rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Trump surprisingly gave Ron DeSantis the nickname “Ron DeSanctimonious”.

Trump made the comments while discussing a current poll for the Republican Party nomination in 2024.

Just in case you’re unfamiliar with the word, sanctimonious means to be “self-righteous”.

In recent weeks Trump has made it clear that there is some tension between him and DeSantis.

It all started when Trump stated it was a “big mistake” for DeSantis to endorse Republican Joe O’Dea in Colorado’s Senate race.

Days later Trump would share a video of Megyn Kelly saying that DeSantis has no chance against Trump in a Republican primary.

The biggest sign there’s a fracture between the two is DeSantis wasn’t invited to Trump’s rally in Miami on November 6th.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Florida was one of the freest states due to DeSantis’ policies.

Trump even previously endorsed DeSantis in his 2018 race which ultimately pushed DeSantis into office.

This raises a major question, does Trump know something about DeSantis that we don’t?

Several pundits responded to President Trump’s swipe at Governor DeSantis.

Here are a few:

Folks, I don’t really care for whom you vote. But don’t delude yourselves into pretending it isn’t #NeverTrump behind the push for Ron DeSantis to fracture the party in a primary if and when Trump obviously runs.

It most definitely is them to include McCarthy and McConnell.

Elon Musk confirmed Twitter employees secretly sold verification badges for upwards of $15,000.

According to Twitter’s previous policy, blue verification badges are free and were given to users who requested them and were able to prove their notability.

The news broke after the Wall Street Bet’s account tweeted out that some “Twitter employees were selling verification for upwards of $15,000. For certain accounts, mine included, they would refuse to verify you through the standard application”.

Musk would respond to the WSB Account by saying “yup”.

Yup

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 5, 2022

Wall Streets Bets wasn’t the only prominent figure to not be able to obtain a verification under the old Twitter regime.

Pennsylvania candidate Doug Mastriano also never received a verification badge despite applying for it and meeting Twitter guidelines in what it means to be a prominent candidate for office.

BREAKING: Twitter refuses to verify official Pennsylvania candidate for Governor @DougMastriano just one week out from the election

His opponent has been verified for years

This is appears to be blatant electioneering and platform favoritism

Under Elon Musk, getting a verification badge will be much easier.

For just $7.99 subscribers of Twitter Blue will receive a verification badge.

That’s a lot more affordable than $15,000.

Twitter will still be free for all users but the $7.99 will allow users to keep or obtain a blue verification badge along with having features such as editing tweets and fewer ads.

Cyborg John Fetterman is out delivering his closing argument this weekend in Pennsylvania.

The Democrat nominee, who suffered a serious stroke a few months back, is attempting to persuade Democrats that he is able to serve in the US Senate.
It’s a hard sell.

First of all, he never really worked and lived in his parents until he was over 40. And now he cannot form coherent sentences.

But Democrats don’t care. They’d vote for a turnip if they had to. Just look at Joe Biden.

Fetterman was not able to follow his closed captioning on Saturday and went off script.

During the rally, he glitched out on his big Roe v. Wade line.

John Fetterman: “I run on Roe v. Wade. I celebrates the demise of Roe v. Wade.”

Republican insiders are expressing a great deal of confidence about the party’s chances for a big win in the midterms.

The word ‘bloodbath’ is even used to describe the Democrat loss that’s coming.

According to these predictions, Republican wins will be even bigger than current polls indicate.

This report is from The New Yorker of all places:

The Republican consultant told me that Warnock’s prospects were even bleaker than many recent public polls suggest. “There isn’t a single private poll in America that has Herschel Walker anything but ahead,” the Republican consultant told me. “Not one.”

The consensus among a number of G.O.P. pollsters and operatives I spoke to this week is that in the Senate races that are thought to be competitive, Republican candidates are heading for a clean sweep: Mehmet Oz will beat John Fetterman in Pennsylvania, and not just by a point or two; Adam Laxalt looks pretty certain to defeat the incumbent Democratic senator Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada; even less regarded candidates such as Blake Masters in Arizona will be carried into office by a predicted wave. “He won’t deserve it, but I think at this point he falls into a Senate seat,” one Republican strategist told me.

To these Republican insiders, certain high-profile races in which G.O.P. candidates were already favored now look like potential blowouts—Kari Lake’s campaign for governor in Arizona, J. D. Vance’s for Senate in Ohio. And some races that seemed out of reach, such as the Senate campaign, in New Hampshire, of the election denier Don Bolduc, now look like possible wins. The word that kept coming up in these conversations was “bloodbath.”

MSNBC’s Donny Deutsch recently used the same term.

What in the Material Girl world is going on? Singer Madonna’s social media antics get creepier and creepier.

Her latest unhinged video shows the 64-year-old former pop star looking stark, with bleached eyebrows and severe orange braids, lip-syncing aggressive,  profanity laced music. In the video, she is clad in a black mesh top over a black bra with a black and white corset and black jeans

She oddly, and aggressively, lunges toward the camera, stares menacingly and culminates in a weird pose on a bed.

The singer, who previously said she thought about blowing up the White House while President Trump was still inside, looks unrecognizable.

A post shared by Madonna (@madonna)

Viewers expressed concern about the singer’s increasingly odd behavior.

The New York Post reports:

Madonna has sparked concern among fans over a TikTok video she posted of herself lip-syncing along to aggressive song lyrics.

“Have you ever been punched in your motherf–king face?” the Queen of Pop, 64, rapped, mouthing along the words to Baby Keem’s song “Vent,” in the clip, which was also shared on Instagram on Thursday.

“What you say? Oh, you haven’t? Alright, wait.”

One critic wrote in the comments section, “This is just awful! What happened to the real Madonna, the one that you can actually look at and say wow you are beautiful and talented !!! LMAO .”

Another added, “The Madonna I used to admire was the one on The Immaculate Collection……this woman has lost all of her mind. Time to retire….”

A third said, “You where my idol growing up. I used to love your music & creativity, please stop with these weird reels! it’s getting dark & concerning now.”

Last week, the singer posted  topless photos of herself. In early October, she was looking weathered in a post TikTok teasing that she might be gay.

Rudy Giuliani held an emergency press conference this morning in New York.

EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE: Mayor Rudy Giuliani on New York Crime Surge

Below are excerpts from ‘America’s Mayor’ Rudy Giuliani’s speech:

We saw the degradation of the law and the demoralization of law enforcement during the riots of 2020. We had persons in political leadership positions who advocated for the destruction of property and the incitement of violence. Politicians vilified law enforcement and were trying to push the defund the police movement. Do you know over 30 people were killed during those riots?

Schumer addressed justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh in front of a crowd at the Supreme Court and appeared to threaten Senate Republicans and the administration.

“I want to tell you, Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch, you have unleashed a whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” Schumer said. “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

A young man traveled across the country with a plan to kill Kavanaugh.

Recently a man was charged with making death threats to Illinois GOP gubernatorial candidate, two people assaulted a Marco Rubio canvasser, a 41 yr old in North Dakota ran over and killed an 18-year-old Republican because of his political affiliation, and gunshots went through a GOP congressional candidate’s parent’s home.

I am asking the politicians and the media to stop trying to divide people.  We should ban together to denounce violence. Anyone who commits a crime should be held accountable. We cannot give mixed messages by saying you can steal up to X amount of dollars and nothing will happen. All broken laws need to be addressed. Violent crimes should always be punishable by going to jail.

Because of soft on crime District Attorneys and Judges, New York has seen a 33% increase in crime.

A mother was shot to death in front of her three children after her husband was released for brutally beating her. The savage beating was filmed by a security camera.  He had prior criminal behaviors.

A woman was raped while jogging and the violent criminal had 25 priors.

A woman pushing a stroller was shot and killed upper east side in June.

A teenager was shot and killed in a Brooklyn park in September.

A 15 year was shot and killed on the subway in October.

A 19-year-old NYC staff was shot and killed in October.

I could go on and on.  I hear what the good people of America are concerned about.

[Rudy is right.  Horrible crimes are now the norm in New York.]

Failed NY Gov. Hochul Dismisses New Yorkers Very Real Concerns on Rampant Crime

I have come here today at the urging of many who want me to share my plan(s) for crime reduction.

I had the largest crime reduction statistics in New York City.  [Next Rudi went on to discuss the following topics.]

Com Stat
Professor Wilson. Broken Windows
Stop Question and Frisk
Emphasize crime prevention over just arrests
DA’s dereliction of duty
Recidivism

Leaders must have the courage and the love and respect for the people to push forward and do what is right.

New York City and state need Rudi Giuliani more than ever.
