Leftist control freaks' worry about losing control of narrative

 Red States:

...

And that’s what this is really about. All of the far-left Democrats sitting at that table are not actually worried about online harassment. They couldn’t care less about real disinformation, and they don’t lose a bit of sleep over supposed “hate speech” on social media. No, what this is really all about is controlling the prevailing narratives.

CNN and the like are used to having the deck stacked in their favor. They have special carve-outs that allow them to push essentially whatever they want without a second thought. The algorithms are bent to their will, they own the “fact-checkers,” and they rely on being able to dictate what gets traction and what doesn’t. While true stories on Hunter Biden get censored, their misleading tripe gets promoted to the trending list.

Musk is promising to take all that away. Worse for them, he’s promising to peel back the curtain and expose what’s been happening for years. The billionaire has already said an open-source algorithm is coming, and he’s also making transparency a priority in his decision-making. The left absolutely hates that. They don’t want to play by the same rules as everyone else, and now that they might have to, they are lashing out in more and more tyrannical ways. And keep in mind, that we are talking about a single platform here. That’s how spoiled they are by the bias that normally does their bidding. Imagine how they’d act if the playing field was leveled further?

...

The algorithms and the "fact-checkers" are not neutral at all.  They are there to push the leftist narrative.  They fear they cannot survive an open debate with the conservatives.  They want to label opinions they disagree with as "disinformation." And they do this while pushing leftist disinformation.  Where were they when Hillary Clinton and the left were pushing the Russian collusion hoax?  Where were they when the media was saying Hunter's laptop was really Russian misinformation?  Both of those demonstrate how dishonest they are.

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

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
