GOP Insiders Predict Bloodbath on Tuesday (I Hope They're Right)

Jonathon Turley takes note of how Biden Unleashes Tirade Over Musk Restoring Free Speech Protections on Twitter: How Do People Know the Truth? 

Elon Musk has not actually changed the “content moderation” policies at Twitter yet, but President Joe Biden went on a virtual rave on Friday over the prospect of free speech breaking out on a single social media site. As a type of censor-in-chief, Biden has led calls for censorship on social media, which have been largely heeded by companies like Facebook and Twitter. Now Biden is accusing Twitter of “spewing lies all across the world” by seeking to reduce one of the largest censorship systems in history. The President lamented that the influence of the media will be “de minimus.” He is a bit late on that front.

Don Surber catches Democrats demanding to know why aren't they 50 points ahead. Why aren't the plebes joyful about the Democrat driven recession, high crime, and grooming? Jazz Shaw at Haut Hair, Nearly 3/4 of voters oppose trans surgery for children and Barack Obama inadvertently explains why democracy is dying under this administration 

When he cautioned people about the threat that a Republican victory on November 8th would pose to democracy, Obama described how things are in countries without a functional democracy, a warning that I assume all of us could take to heart. But he went on to list some examples of things that happen in countries without our rights and freedoms. See if you recognize any of them. Here’s the video of his address. Skip forward to the 34:50 mark. You only need to listen to roughly three minutes of it and then he moves on to different talking points.

Stacy McCain, Gosh, Some People Seem Awfully Worried About Election ‘Misinformation’ Now. 

The “cabal” that bragged of foisting Joe Biden on us — because let’s face it, we’re talking about the same people — apparently feel that their power to control upcoming events has been impaired.

Twitter layoffs gutted

election information teams

days before midterms

— Washington Post

What Twitter’s Shake-Up Could Mean:

Midterm Misinformation Run Amok

— New York times

Days before the midterms,Twitter lays off employees

who fight misinformation

— NBC News

By “fight misinformation,” of course they mean, silence Republicans. And the fact that all these alleged “news” organizations are singing in unison from the same hymnal tells you an awful lot about how the media see their jobs nowadays, i.e., as propagandists for the Democratic Party.

Althouse, cites WaPoo, "Devastating cuts to Twitter’s workforce on Friday, four days before the midterm elections, are fueling anxieties among political campaigns..." "I wonder which "national party" is expressing this anxiety to The Washington Post — which party relied on Twitter moderation to protect its interests in the run-up to the elections. David Strom at Haut Hair, Censorship is their last redoubt.

Things that make you go hmmm, at PM, Outage in PA voter database as election day nears.
