Flotsam and Jetsam - Flotsam (also known as "flotsan") refers to goods
from a sunken vessel that have floated to the surface of the sea, or any
floating cargo that is cast overboard. In maritime law, flotsam pertains to
goods that are floating on the surface of the water as the result of a wreck
or accident. One who discovers flotsam is allowed to claim it unless someone
else establishes their ownership of it. Jetsam designates any cargo that
is intentionally discarded from a ship or wreckage. Legally jetsam also
floats, although floating is not part of the etymological meaning. Generally,
"jettisoning" connotes the action of throwing goods overboard to lighten the
load of the ship if it is in danger of sinking. Per maritime law, one who
discovers these artifacts is not required to return them to their rightful
owner except in the case where the latter makes a legally abiding
claim. However, according to the U.S.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
"flotsam may be claimed by the original owner, whereas jetsam may be claimed
as property of whoever discovers it."
Yesterday, Elon Musk threw a bunch of Twitter files over the transom,
specifically, files related to the treatment of the Hunter Biden laptop story,
which twitter banned, and censored people who attempted to retweet it. He did
this by handing the files to Matt Taibbi, a pro-free speech liberal, for
publication and commentary on Twitter. The files show that Twitter did take suggestions for banning from government officials and politician, mostly, but not exclusively Democrats, Ace, "The Twitter Files" Is Being Tweeted Out One Tweet at a Time by Matt
Taibbi. "Elon's offer to have me work all Friday night is declined. But here's the link." Twitchy, via the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 12.02.22, does the best job of simply laying out the Tweets, Elon Musk (and Matt Taibbi) help explain ‘what really happened with the

Alhouse whines about
How elite media is covering Elon Musk's dumping of information about how
Twitter helped the Democratic Party in the 2020 election. "First, let me say, I would like a well-written, organized,
comprehensive piece of writing explaining this material. Alternatively, show
me everything — all the raw material. Instead, Elon Musk directed us to
the Twitter account of Matt Taibbi, and we were expected to receive a long series of tweets and to puzzle
through it. Was that to drive massive traffic to Twitter? Was it supposed to
be better all fragmented like that? And
Musk adds support to my hypothesis. "Me, in
the previous post: Hypothesis: He didn't really have the story he wanted, so he went all
out to churn traffic on Twitter." John Hinderacker at Power Line,

“by force” without a single firearm or explosive device. Despite constant
talk in the media about the Oath Keepers’ quick reaction force, individuals
who brought weapons with them on the drive to Washington left them behind in
