A rendezvous with Elon Musk
The Board of Directors at Twitter has a rendezvous with Elon Musk and they have a decision to make. They can take his generous offer of $43 Billion Dollars or they can explain to their stockholders why they did not. The question is are they businessmen or ideologues?
If they are rational businessmen, they have to consider what lies ahead for the company. In less than a year the Republicans will control committees in congress and investigations of the policies of social media platforms are a certainty. They are sure to focus in on the censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 election and the silencing of those who raised the question of a lab leak in Wuhan or quashing any suggestion of getting tough on China or why a former US President was banished from the site while murderous dictators were not. The question of whether Twitter stifled Conservative speech will be front and center. There is also competition from new companies to consider. How much has Twitter membership been taken by others? The Board has until April 20th. Free speech & the interests of the stock holders hangs in the balance.
The Week:
Calamity Joe: Joe Biden's poll numbers have sunk to new lows after the Department of Labor reported that consumer prices had risen 8.5% compared to a year ago. Biden has enacted extremely radical policies that have produced inflation, drastically high fuel prices, a wide open border and rising crime. His position and that of the democratic party is so dire that former Clinton advisor Mark Penn had this to say:
"These are spectacularly low [approval] numbers. To really get down to it, only a third being favorable and in the 20s on independents, of course makes [Biden's] re-election a virtual impossibility. The administration has got to pivot or this is going to be a tornado of a midterms if these numbers continue to hold up. And frankly, they’ve had month after month here to do something to turn around on inflation, on immigration, on Ukraine, on crime. And they just haven’t done it. They have done small little incremental changes. They need big changes to change some big numbers."

Subway Terror: "Frank James, the primary suspect in Tuesday’s subway shooting in New York City that left 29 injured, has been taken into custody and indicted on a federal terrorism charge, officials announced on Wednesday.
James was arrested at the corner of St. Mark’s Place and 1st Ave. in the East Village of Manhattan, NYPD commissioner Keeshant Sewell said at a press conference with city and law enforcement officials. Mayor Eric Adams joined via video conference from his residence, where he is quarantined after testing positive for Covid.
“My fellow New Yorkers: we got him. We got him,” Adams told the conference.
NYPD chief of detectives James Essig said James has nine prior arrests in New York between 1992 and 1998, as well as other arrests in New Jersey. Breon Peace, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said James has been charged with one federal charge of violating a law banning terrorist attacks on mass transit."

Lone Star Border Security: "Chihuahua state governor Maria Eugenia "Maru" Campos has struck a deal with Gov. Greg Abbott that resolves a massive slowdown in cross-border commerce that followed Abbott's decision to increase state inspections of trucks.
In a joint news conference Thursday evening, Campos and Abbott announced the agreement after a meeting in Austin.
Abbott said Campos presented "the best border security plan that I have seen from any governor of Mexico."
Campos said Chihuahua would collaborate with the Texas Department of Public Safety, and Abbott said state troopers could now return to random inspections at the Texas border."

Florida abortion law: "TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a 15-week abortion ban into law Thursday as the state joined a growing conservative push to restrict access to the procedure ahead of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that could roll back abortion rights in America.
“This will represent the most significant protections for life that have been enacted in this state in a generation,” DeSantis said as he signed the bill at an evangelical church in the city of Kissimmee."

Trump cites possible health issues: Former President Trump is the master of confusing mind games. His skill-set was recently showcased in a Daily Mail headline : “Trump, 75 admits his health could stop him running for president in 2024 and says Pence, DeSantis and Mike Pompeo would NOT oppose him in a Republican primary.”

Ukrainian victory: "One of Russia's most essential warships, a guided missile cruiser named Moskva, sank on Thursday while it was being towed to port, the Russian military said. The Ukrainian military said its forces had badly damaged the ship with a missile strike off Ukraine's battered southern coast, though Russia has not acknowledged the missile strike and said the ship sank because of a fire.
The Pentagon confirmed the ship was badly damaged but did not go so far as to say it had sunk, according to The Associated Press."

What have we learned:
We learned that the divisive race-baiting rhetoric of the democratic party leads to murder and mayhem, as the nation watched the horror of what took place in a Brooklyn subway station this week. The democratic party has been using this rhetoric to turn out the black vote, which they desperately need due the the loss of the blue collar vote. It gins up racial hatred, but gets the desired effect at the polls. Responsible leadership would have denounced such tactics long ago. Leadership is something the democrats sorely lack.

Governor Greg Abbott:
"We live in a time with the most extreme and urgent border crisis in the history of the state of Texas," Abbott said. "In just the past 15 months there’s been more than 1.6 million people come across the Texas border illegally."

Has it felt like a long week?
The low point was when Biden finished his speech and turned to shake hands with nobody.
This is a particularly pathetic complaint by the right.
When Biden turns and holds out his hand he is clearly looking at a particular person, and not blindly looking for someone to shake hands with. The fact that the person is outside hand shaking range is insignificant to anything.
When you "conservatives" insist on promoting this garbage you only make yourselves look bad.
LMAO.....That's a good one!
Whoever it was, was definitely out of handshake range or sight range for that matter!
Poor pathetic befuddled Joe...that can't inspire much confidence in his leadership abilities.
We all knew this day was coming. What was the 25th Amendment for?
You people look like fools with all this petty nonsense about Biden "bumbling" around.
The optics are simply awful John, no matter how much you attempt to deny it
It's not nonsense. He was cognitively impaired. People knew it, yet they helped get him elected to the nation's highest office.
When Biden turns to the right and holds his hand out he is clearly looking at a specific person. There is no there there to this supposed "bumbling".
Gee, I wonder how bad the other guy must have been ?
Bad enough to get more votes than Barack Obama.
That is not true. Biden was endorsed by every other Democratic candidates because they all knew he was capable and was up for the job!
We see him and hear him and he is doing fine.
Fox has to fake videos to make him look bad...
In what universe is that person?
No, he was the only candidate that didn't seem too radical for the voters to swallow. He was dead and buried until South Carolina brought him back to life.
We see him and hear him and he is doing fine.
From your vantage point.
Fox had to fake a video to make him look bad!
PROVE IT!
LINK PLEASE
The problem for you is...the camera doesn't lie. All Biden projects is confusion, befuddlement, and weakness
So them all being incompetent morons that had ran so far to the left that they were unelectable had nothing to do with it? Biden won the Democratic nomination because voters would think he was a moderate; and he sold out to the far leftist loons so they would all drop out.
This coming from the same people that desperately wanted Trump removed under the 25th for walking too slowly. Biden has been a mess since the primaries; and has gotten far worse since assuming office.
No fake videos needed to make Biden look like the disaster he really is.
There are even more out there for those that care to look.
10 times out of 10 he's looking for his imaginary friend.
This garbage is what you support.
we see and hear him to. Most of us are baffled why you aren't embarrassed by him. A lot of us are waiting for the interpreter to translate his gibberish to actual words.
When compared to what, a corpse?
If true Biden wouldn't have whooped Trump...
So deplorable and pathetic when all you got is edited and doctored videos - showing absolutely nothing.
That all you got?
Yup, people do it all the time / S
So what you're saying is you can link a copy of the full video?
Who are you kidding JR, even after the phantom hand shake he couldn't figure out how to get off the stage he wandered around back and forth. What.....did they rearrange the exit while he was up there speaking.
When are you going to come to grips with the fact Joe has lost it.
Lol. He was looking around to see if anyone was going to come up to him and say something or shake his hand. Totally normal. He does look physically a little unsteady as many 79 year olds are prone to, but he does not look at all "lost". That is your Rush Limbaugh imagination at work.
You have this fantasy that people voted for Biden because he was a better candidate. The fact was they hated Trump and Biden was their ONLY alternative.
Ronin even had the gall to post a widely debunked story. Fake news. So sad.
You forgot, Biden beat about 20 Democrats!
No need to watch all that doctored and edited footage.
Only on the 'right'
Debunked or doctored or edited. All they got!
Let’s go Brandon!
So post the full "unedited" videos of what you think are doctored.
My guess, and I'm usually right, is that the videos you MIGHT try and post are EXACTLY like the ones posted above.
20 unelectable democrats.
That was then.
Nigel Farage asks why 25th Amendment isn’t invoked for Biden: ‘He’s an embarrassment to America’
The Trump of England says a lot of dumbshit.
And, President Biden is serving quite capably!
Yeah, and many said Democrats are now suffering buyers remorse big time!
You are a fan?
Biden doesn't even know he holds any office.
He is? That statement says more about you than Biden.
Do I have to be?

By your diseased outlook, the victims of hundreds of years of racism are actually the cause of any violence that happens. Frank James is a racist, yes, and seems to have been targeting hispanics in that Brooklyn neighborhood, which has a large hispanic population. Frank James mental illness wasnt created by Democrats. If anything it was created by his living for 60 some years in a country where people with his skin color have been prejudiced against for hundreds of years.
Remember Rev Wright? "The chickens are coming home to roost."
You cant mistreat people for hundreds of years and then when they act up blame it on the victims.
Frank James will rightfully go to prison for the rest of his life. He alone is responsible for his specific actions, but his sick mind wasnt caused by the Democrats, it was caused by racism.
Wha?
Frank James wasn't a victim of racism. He did believe he was and he was the cause of violence.
It's time to stop using race to win elections.
Oh I see...in your mind most black criminals are simply victims...because of alleged racism?
Do you realize how idiotic that mindset is?
Nope. People have to be held responsible for their criminal actions, and he will be. Vic tried to imply that he became violent because of Democratic policies about race. It is far far more likely that he became mentally unbalanced over the years because of his observing the way people of color have been historically treated in America.
I said democratic rhetoric, which is what you use in your comments.
Racism was a problem in the past, it isn't now in spite of all the efforts of certain race hustlers.
Ridiculous.
I believe Vic is correct, the constant drum beat for racism from Democrats and the media is outrageous, you are literally beating racism into people's heads.
I believe you are incorrect
Ever hear of Joseph Goebbels?
Don't you mean figuratively ? In the real world "literally beating" would imply assault and battery taking place and arrests would be called for.
No
Remember Rev Wright?
Who can forget:
Yeah, we remember. No need for the reminder
Oh yes there is.
You know it is illegal to practice without a license John?
It seems all some posters here have is essentially victim blaming - practically every single 'article'
Uncle Joe, he's a moving kinda slow at the Shadey Rest, Come and be his guest at Petticoat Junction
If you're olde enough to remember that then you are also too olde to be making fun of other olde people!
The Real "Cartoon Of The Week"...
Obama was a pussy who was scared shitless of confrontation.
Better to have donald kissing his ass aye?
President Obama doesn't look scared shitless to me.
Of course that's how you see him through your red colored glasses.
trumpturd is the pussy. The bully. The coward. Sees putin as a genius and looks up to the murdering thug steaming pile of shit.
Why do you find men kissing as insulting or a slur?
You presume much. Or is it assume?
I do not find it as an insult but murdering thug little putin and big fat pig turd trumpturd would.
Then why did you post this photo?
Why do you keep asking me your childish questions and giving me all these taunts and digs?
Do you think I'm a fool?
What's childish about asking your motivation for posting a homophobic picture?
giving me all these taunts and digs
I give you neither.
Do you think I'm a fool?
Is that a rhetorical question?
An honest answer to that question would result in a ticket.
You're always asking questions that you know the answers to - or pretending that you don't.
I don't know why I continue to play your foolish game.
So you don't care for the Socratic method? Perhaps you know it as the Elenchu method or elenctic method.
There's a post for the ages!!!!!!!!!!
Naw, he reserved that for his Middle East buds when he made his apology tours...
Because you enjoy it?

Have you noticed that none of the other "factual" memes posted have a link to the information. Kind of like they are just saying "nuh uh" and running away.
I have noticed that they refused to provide a link. I thought the rule was changed to they "must" provide a link?
And naturally, they omit the link, nothing really happens. You or I omit it and the world ends.
CORRECT!
