Avoiding the Big Tech censors

 Washington Examiner:

Two major alternative social media platforms focused on free speech and data portability, YouTube rival Rumble and content subscription service Locals, will combine forces Tuesday to provide online users a new way to interact and make money without fear of being canceled.

Popular commentators affiliated with Rumble, including Dan Bongino and Glenn Greenwald, will be joining Locals, adding to other prominent content creators already on the platform, such as former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, cartoonist and creator of the Dilbert comic strip Scott Adams, and media personality Dr. Drew.

Locals has over 1 million active users, while Rumble has over 40 million.

The two platforms will keep their own websites but share their online communities and data operations to allow users to enjoy a host of new features while promising few content restrictions and higher margins for content creators than offered by Big Tech platforms, such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

“Cancel culture is the obvious reason we’re starting this,” said Bongino, who helped broker the deal between the two platforms. “I thank the cancel culture folks because they're incentivizing this and the next generation of creators to bypass the middleman of Big Tech platforms and streaming services.”

The social media giants have a history of choosing the wrong side in the culture wars.  They did nothing to stop the Russian collusion hoax which was a total fraud perpetrated by Democrats while they censored stories of Biden family corruption exposed by Hunter Biden's laptop.   Their poor judgment appears to be based on their leftist political bias.  Their censorship of relevant material is a good reason to find alternative outlets.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
