Let it go - Orange Man Gone

Your right... I don't get it. 

Regarding January 6th: 

"Anyone with the intent to stop that process was wrong. Protesting it. Fine. Physically stopping. Wrong" 

Okay so I absolutely agree with this statement. However, what do you think was the intended outcome of the "nut" jobs attacking the Capital police and Capital? 

Did they want to get into the Capital? I think it's fair to say yep.

Why? I honestly don't know.

Did they want to burn the Capital down like the "mostly" peaceful protestors who burned whole city blocks and countless businesses during the summer of 2020? I think that's an obvious NO because they didn't start any fires. 

Did those trying to get into the Capitol have guns? Zero firearms confiscated on January 6th would indicated that's a NO. The only shot fired that day killed a unarmed protestor. 

Note: One son who didn't attend Jan 6th turned his dad in for having a gun on the Capital grounds but saying it was an armed insurrection is a lie that will not die an continues to be a democratic talking point the President Biden says over and over.

Did the protesters believe they could stop the count and keep Trump in office? Maybe, because clearly there are some really stupid people who got sucked up in the narrative which I blame not only on Trump but on the Media.

No matter how you slice it 2020 was not the most secure and democratic election in American History. Slowly the facts are coming out. For example in 2020 43% of ballots cast were by mail and 26% voted early but magically the historic ballot rejection rate fell from 3% to .3% which is mathematically impossible without intervention which means millions of votes that would have normally been rejected got "cured" and counted. Thank you Mark Zuckerberg? Yep!

My gut tells me President Biden's anger is connected to him finding out that more and more people are starting to figure out his victory was not as clear cut as the left wants everyone to believe. 

Joe Biden ran an undergrown (basement) campaign while the FBI created at worst or allowed to continue a cloud of Russian Collusion over Trump. The media made up and promoted the Afghanistan bounties and The Atlantic's "Suckers and Losers" stories. Social media and the MSM buried the Hunter's laptop story and conspired to drag a dementia ridden Biden across the finish line. 

Thanks to Molly Ball we know how Zuckerberg's $429 million was spent to create a shadow campaign against Trump. What Zuckerberg's folks did wasn't illegal because no one could imagine anyone doing what was done. Like a war crime it's not illegal the 1st time it's tried. When you consider hundreds of cellphones were tracked in the vicinity of multiple ballot drop boxes at all hours of the night over and over and another piece of the puzzle comes into focus. Why would anyone want to manipulate the outcome of an election? Seriously who really cares? Money and the belief that Trump is the next Hitler are likely the two driving forces behind what we are now learning.

I didn't know until recently that the FBI is THE federal government agency responsible for investigating federal elections and claims of voter fraud. Unfortunately, it's now clear this is the equivalent of having the fox investigate what happened to the missing chickens.

It's interesting to note that as President Biden's poll numbers fall the leaks and whistleblowers have started to surface. People from the justice department are coming forward in unprecedented numbers to blow the partizan whistle which has also resulted in the AG putting out an unprecedented memo threatening justice department employees if they go directly to members of Congress.

I think the 2022 midterms are going to be a shit show. If 2022 ends up as a Republican landslide the trust in Media will continue to erode as polls are showing the Democratic Party will maintain control of the Senate and might keep Nancy Pelosi as speaker. Polls and media buzz are being used to depress donations to Republicans and reduce volunteer support. It happens every election cycle but just like Charlie Brown we continue to think Lucy is not going to pull that football away at the last minute.

Polls showing close races as clear Democratic wins happen every election cycle and is a form of media voter suppression. It's been happening every election for years and it's like we all have collective mass amnesia. Why Republican's can't recall that the last time the media got it wrong in favor of the GOP was Dewey is beyond me. The more important the race the more the media and polls will be just wrong.

Having the nation on whole vote on the 1st Tuesday of November is a thing of the past and in many states the vote has already started or is getting ready to start. This is NOT what the old white guys who founded the nation wanted. They knew that the voting on one day using the secret ballot would produce the best results. We inherited this process from the English and it worked well for us for over 250 years. Even before Covid the Dems were pushing HR-1 and they absolutely want to change how American votes... WHY?

-----

How anyone could possibly believe the transition of power was going to be stopped via a mob at the Capitol is beyond belief. Thinking that Mike Pence was going to be killed by unarmed protesters yelling hang Mike Pence is just dumb. The Chairman of the January 6th committee said police officers (yes multiple) died because that day remains a bold face lie. No one was beaten with a fire extinguisher yet this false narrative resulted in a flag draped coffin of Officer Sickneck lying in state at the nation's capital. Millions of American's still don't know that officer Brian Sickneck died of natural causes on January 7th. 

Only Trump supporters died on January 6th. One was shot, two middle age overweight men died of heart attacks likely caused by flash bang grenades scaring them to death and one woman was beaten senseless by a female police officer and then was crushed by the mob.

"The Justice Department says that more than 800 defendants have been arrested in relation to the Capitol riot, including over 250 defendants charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement officers. No one has been charged with murder." Senior FBI officials testified, under oath that Jan 6th was not a coordinated attack. I'm good at picking up info from lots of sources and I do my best to get info from primary sources... I'm not lazy and I take this entire matter very seriously. January 6th casts a  black cloud upon Republicans but it doesn't come close to the carnage, roughly $2 billion in damages and the two dozen deaths during the riots of 2020... Thanks but no thanks to BLM, Antifa and the Leftist progressive movement that continues to threaten out democracy.

The 2022 YTD Mass Shooting Narrative Lie

Stanford University MSA Data Project identifies a mass shooting when three or more persons are shot at one location, at the same time, excluding the shooter. Organized crime, gangs and drug war shootings are also excluded as mass shootings.

The narrative that mass shootings are out of control and increasing every year is media hype. This narrative is not only wrong, it's dangerous. People don't fear good people with a gun they fear bad people with a gun. If we take guns away from good people, then the only people with guns will be bad people... Right?

Think about the most powerful weapon in history. The nuclear bomb which can kill millions in a flash. And yet, American's don't fear Great Britain, France or Israel who all possess nukes? Why? They are the good guys.

Some in America want only the government to have guns which would no doubt massively reduce gun violence! The problem with that is history and what eventually happens given enough time. 

People have been killing people since the first caveman clubbed his neighbor to death. During the 20th Century the ability to kill increased exponentially and tragically more than 100 million people were murdered at the hands of "their" government. Mao, Stalin and Hitler win the gold, silver and bronze. 

The founding fathers knew that a well regulated Militia was necessary to the security of a free state. One could reasonably argue that gun ownership is essential to our Democracy aka Constitutional Republic.

So what about the widely quoted 250+ mass shootings so far this year? Well that's just BS being pushed by every Democrat, some Republicans and most of the media. Simply put it's NOT true. 

"22 weeks into the year, America has already seen at least 246 mass shootings" Insider

"233 mass shootings have happened so far in 2022" The Hill

"US has seen more than 200 mass shootings in 2022" News Nation

"From Uvalde to Buffalo and now Maryland, there's been 254 mass shootings in 2022" Herald Mail

These headlines are just a sample from the last 30 days. It's just media bull and if you're willing to spend 15 minutes looking at the data you can figure this out for yourself. Typically Wikipedia sucks when it comes to anything political but in this case they nail it. If you apply the FBI's or Stanford Universities definition of a mass shooting to all shootings listed for 2022 there have been 10 "mass shootings" not 250.

In some cases seemingly one death would qualify as a mass shooting. In the past the data required multiple deaths. So why the change? That's easy, the Left wants ONLY the government to have guns and if a few bad guys also have them and use them on the unarmed then that's just the price we all pay to reduce mass shootings in America. It seems the illusion of safety, the gun free school zones, etc... are what the left craves when reality is screaming just the opposite!

Actually even these mass shooting numbers are inflated. Mother Jones adds a very important qualifier to their calculations. To be counted as a mass shooting it must be in a public place and indiscriminate. Now you're getting at the real number which in 2021 totalled six mass shootings that resulted in 43 deaths. Compare that to millions of potential (I would say inevitable given enough time) deaths if you disarm America and I'm a little less sad about the loss of life. It's tragic but it always makes me wonder why the 16,000+ gun related homicides each year hardly receive any national coverage. Don't those victims have families?

Note: I'm absolutely OK with raising the age to possess any "Semi-Automatic" weapon to 21 or even 25 IF underage possession would automatically be charged as a felony and a minimum of one year in prison. You're underage and get caught with a semi-automatic weapon you're going to prison for a year. Run public service ads, prosecute these kids and maintain a website with the picture of every young person arrested, when, where and how and I can only conclude gun crime will plummet in the inner-city. 

-------

Afterthought: Sometimes I randomly stumble onto something that makes me ponder. Did Ben Franklin yell out: "A Democracy, if you can keep it."? No he did not but the Left knows words have power which is why their "Narrative" is "Democracy" versus "Republic". I wish the Democrats and the media would remember that America is a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC which is very different than a democracy. 

Learn About Guns Before You Ban Them

It's so obvious that most anti-gun activist, politicians and members of the media know basically nothing about guns. From the "Gun Show Loophole" false narrative, the lie that the "Assault Weapons Ban" in the 1994 Crime Bill worked to "journalists" going on and on about the "kick" of the AR-15. The disconnect between knowledge, reality and rhetoric is deeply troubling.

However, as of late a few suggestions by the left have resonated with me. Specifically, increasing the age limit to own a semiautomatic weapon. Kids typically have to pass a basic safety class to fire a gun let alone own one. I for one still proudly have my Minnesota issued gun safety sew-on badge. I don't know why but it seams firearms safety training coupled with live firing seems to drastically reduce the odds a person will become a criminal, let alone a mass shooter. 

In addition the study of gun deaths in the US versus European countries is pretty conclusive... Guns are part of the problem but unfortunately we would have to confiscate all guns to reduce gun deaths commensurate to that of Europe. Only if private gun ownership was illegal will gun involved crimes and suicide deaths drop to what other Western countries experience.

When an an elected official talks about the "AK-15", ghost guns, multiple rounds in a split second, AR-15 round being multiple times faster than other rounds, etc... those with any military background or gun knowledge just roll their eyes. Passion without knowledge is wasted and counter productive but it doesn't stop the Left from spewing nonsense. Without basic gun knowledge the ability to influence gun owners with anti-gun arguments falls upon death ears.

I believe the five rights enshrined by the 1st Amendment are worth fighting for and the 2nd Amendment gives the people the ability to do so. It's seems basic, but it's kinda a big duh the founding fathers understood this and the order of the Amendments in the Bill of Rights isn't happenstance.

It's important to put death and tragedy into context. Tragically this year over 100,000 people will overdose and die. Another 40,000 will die in car crashes. Sadly 6,000 vets will kill themselves for reasons we are just now starting to understand. Finally, on average each day 42 people will be murdered with a gun. 

There are over 136,000 schools, colleges and universities in America and every year a few of these "soft" targets are attacked and on average a dozen or so innocent students and teachers will loose their lives. It's all very sad but the public seemingly forgets the 500+ that die tragically EVERYDAY in America.

Things to TRY as a nation:

- We might raise the age to own a semi-automatic weapon to 21 or even 25.

- Maybe make it a felony with a minimum of one year in prison for anyone under 25 to possess a semi-automatic weapon.

- Absolutely change "Gun Free Zone" laws to allow concealed carry by those with state issued concealed carry permits.

 

- How about increasing training and add actual range time in order to obtain a conceal weapons permit for those without prior police or military experience.

Obviously gun free zones haven't work and I would argue they have actually backfired and created killing zones. Concealed carry requires finger prints, back ground checks, mental health checks and training. Banning these people from schools, movie theaters, etc... has been a resounding failure and yet the sound of gun free zones makes people feel safe? Bad guys don't give a crap about gun free zones. This is beyond obvious but ignored by the Left and liberals who don't know better.

Here is the rub. It's clear to me the left is more concerned with the optics and maintaining this issue into the midterm elections while paying lip service to their base. The Right is paranoid of the slippery slope we all witnessed in 2020. Fifteen days to flatten the curve my ass... Never again!

Lastly, school shootings are beyond heinous but has anyone pondered they may in fact be the price we collectively pay to prevent even a greater loss of life measured in the MILLIONS. Think Mao, Stalin, Hitler and the carnage we are witnessing in Ukraine. 

Far fetched? Maybe, but it's been said:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known, is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it and then hand it to them with the well taught lessons of how they and their lifetime must do the same and if you and I don't do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it once was like in America where men were free." Ronald Reagan, January 5th, 1967 

Gun Control Yet Again...

It's been about 24 hours since the last school shooting and sleazy politicians have again gone into overdrive with no end in sight which of course will likely include sending out fundraising emails addressing the shooting. 

I just watched President Biden's address to the nation which started off amazingly but then President Biden is "telepromptered" into angry Joe and democratic talking points. 

A crazy Bernie Sanders supporter guns down the Republican softball team and very few comments are made linking the shooter to the Left and there were no calls for gun control but every time the shoe is on the other foot it's like someone shook the crazy tree.

Of course every single mass shooting is sad. They are all bad, but this one was exceptionally bad in location, number of injured and killed and very young age of most victims. Truly it's a crime that will go down in history as one of the worst.

As usual, from the very start CNN got so many things wrong that I wonder if facts even matter to them any more. From an expert being interviewed saying there is no reason why anyone should be able to go into a gun store and walk out with a gun to CNN declaring the shooter purchased two assault rifles. 

For starters there are many reasons why waiting to buy a gun could be a bad thing. You find out your EX is going to kill you... Clearly waiting for 10 days could be deadly. You get beat up by your boyfriend and you know a restraining order is absolutely meaningless to someone planning on killing you. There are lots or times when waiting to buy a gun isn't a good thing.

Furthermore, the main stream media is so ignorant when it comes to anything gun related so here is a refresher:

- The Assault Rifle is what the military and swat teams use. Think pull the trigger and the gun fires until the magazine is empty. Most of these guns have single shot and bust mode selection as well. This weapon is NOT legally available to the general public. I can't remember when a 'legally" acquired assault rifle was used in a crime, let alone a mass shooting.

- The Semi Automatic Rifle is what you can purchase in most states. It some cases it looks exactly like the assault rifle but looks have nothing to do with lethality. Think one trigger pull equals one bullet. 

- The Assault Weapon is a made up term that has very little to do with functionality and nothing in common with the rate of fire of an assault rifle. It's truly a made up term. Adding a pistol grip or a mounting rail makes the gun look "mean" but it doesn't make it more deadly than the same gun with a wood stock and standard trigger mount.

Besides that absolute lie that shootings went down when the "Federal Assault Weapons Ban" of 1994 was passed (which was not renewed in 2004 because it didn't reduce gun crimes) the left just doesn't comprehend the 2nd Amendment was never about hunting. One would think the ongoing war in Ukraine would demonstrate to the left just how bad things can get when a population isn't armed.

I'm going to suggest something that may seem horrific to some but it's based on raw numbers. The loss of life that we experienced as a nation yesterday might just be the price we pay to avoid millions of deaths in the future. Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Tojo, Pol Pot, Leopold II, Ismail Enver Pasha, etc... These "leaders" killed well over 100,000,000 people. Had the populations they attacked been armed the results would have been undoubtedly different. 

So here is my take away. Before you start marching in the streets demanding that all guns be banned (a move that I have to admit would absolutely reduce gun deaths especially suicides in America) know your basic gun terms. Don't lie that the Federal Assault Weapons Bad reduced anything. Make sure you know what a round is and that a magazine holds rounds. That limiting the number of rounds a magazine can hold limits the number of ready rounds available for the good guys. The bad guys don't care about magazine limits and will carry multiple magazines while the good guy typically has just what's in their gun.

If our elected leadership wants to harden the nations 136,000+ schools, colleges and universities I would support this but in the mean time how about repealing local, state and federal laws that prohibit licensed concealed carry in schools. Very few mass shootings happen where people are armed. Have you ever heard about a mass shooting at a gun range? How about Utah's State Capitol?

PS  Let's not forget that all lives matter. Today 284 American's will die from a drug overdose and 118 will not survive their auto accident. I would argue most of those deaths are just as tragic and will rip apart those families lives for decades. Those families will suffer in silence with few noticing their loss. 

Freedom to Peacefully Protest

Last fall the State of Maine cut down one of my favorite little trees trying to grow out of a rock outcropping. For years I watched that little tree struggle to survive and it's death during COVID-19 was so sad. In protest I just planted a replacement. I didn't torch a police precinct, smash windows or help burn down a city block but still I felt empowered by my personal protested!

During the 1st months of the lockdowns my wife and I had entire beaches, hikes, etc... to ourselves. We saw animal life like never before and it was amazing. To avoid arrest we carried signs that if questioned we would show government officials we were protesting government mandates. Protesting government overreach is our God give right as Americans. Getting outside in the fresh air and sun made so much sense to anyone with a shred of scientific background. Unfortunately, most government officials and the woke class didn't  recognize this as healthy and some still don't which boggles my mind  

Arresting surfers, mom's at football games, taking golfers into custody, dragging a dad out of a park for playing catch with his daughter, etc... This was all insane and we as a people just watched and put up our hands. What's wrong with us?

Never again. The government has proven over and over they are out of control, collectively void of common sense and incapable of admitting or learning from obvious mistakes. Even worse those in power seemed to revel in gaslighting those who question them.

I'm hopeful that we as a nation have learned our lesson and the tree of freedom is once again growing!

Update... The kids of the friend who helped me plant the tree have named it - Rebel Tree. They also put solar powered Christmas lights on it last year. REBEL TREE!

Biden Killed Oil

On his 1st day in office President Biden started the ball rolling by killing the exploration and development of ANWR and cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline by executive order.

Candidate Biden said there would be no place for fossil fuels in his administration and that's one campaign promise he has lived up to and then some.

These actions crushed the oil industry in real terms but more importantly the chilling of fossil fuel investing within Wall Street is staggering. It's just too risky to invest billions into an industry when contracts and laws can be wiped away by Presidential edict. 

Killing Keystone XL was lawful but totally unprecedented. The impact studies were done, the government's environmental zealots signed off (twice!) and the State Department approved the project under two Administrations. Contracts were underway, people had relocated, kids had started school and billions of economic activity were underway only to be stopped with the stroke of pen day one.

Killing ANWR by administrative decree reversed part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that specifically honors the agreements we made with Alaska starting in 1960. Yes I'm talking about the Eisenhower Administration. Like so many historical treaties with indigenous peoples, America once again pulled the plug and screwed them over.

Joe Biden will go down in history as the man who single handedly killed American energy independence in the early 2020's and inadvertently funded Russia's war against Ukraine. Without a doubt this was completely self inflicted, orchestrated and unnecessary as our nation continues to embrace renewable energy.

Furthermore, Europe once again has to make a decision. Can they trust Putin? Will he shut off their natural gas during the cold of winter or will they deal with the United States who seemingly can arbitrarily changes policy potentially every four years?

FDA Limits J&J Vaccine

FDA puts strict limits on the use of the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccination. You should not take it if you're younger than 18. You should only take it if you can't take the other vaccines.

Essentially the only people who should take the J&J vaccine are those older than 18 who can't take the other two... for medical reasons?

Medical reasons?

This is the first time I've heard a government official hint that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine are anything but 100% safe for everyone. How times change once the narrative no longer serves a purpose.

Will natural immunity be recognized next?

Don't hold your breath.

Elizabeth Warren is Shocked and Angry?

Elizabeth Warren is right "We have reached the cumulation of what Republicans have been fighting for, angling for decades..." How crazy is it for anyone to be so angry at something at least half of the country wants to see changed. Something that has been in the works for literally decades.

According to Ted Cruz 6% of Americans support abortion up until birth. However, further polling indicates only 19% of Americans support abortion in the third trimester. It's so obvious that the far left, those aligned with the abortion on demand at anytime, the 6% of the population are absolutely in control of the Democratic party.

The vast majority of Americans agree that late term abortions are morally abhorrent. That said the bulk of Americans believe abortion should be safe, legal and rare. How rare is really the issue. The Catholic church and the far right absolutely believe life begins at conception which is obviously true in that babies are born. That said, scientifically it's tough to argue that a lump of cells is sentient. However, four out of five Americans believe abortion should not be allowed in the third trimester.

So the argument is what should be done in the 2nd trimester. When does the fetus feel pain? When is the fetus aware? When is the fetus viable? When does the fetus become sentient? 

The bottom line when does the fetus become a person?

These questions are debatable and something the country needs to figure out. Clearly Row v. Wade has not settled this argument. I think it makes sense to send this question back to the states and let the states figure this out. Again, it's impossible to argue Row v. Wade was a good decision. Based on recent laws allowing abortion up to the moment of birth in New York on it's face it would seem it was a bad decision and should be reconsidered.

Facts to ponder:

- Late term abortions are not rare. Roughly 10,000 are performed every year in the United States.

- Since Row v. Wade the total number of abortions in the United States equals the current population of Australia and Canada combined.

- Only a fraction of Americans support abortion just prior to birth but that fraction equals 15,000,000 people and they are very loud and a political force.

- 29% of Adult Americans believe life starts at conception.

- Only seven countries allow abortion after 20 weeks: North Korea, Vietnam, China, Canada, Netherlands, Singapore and the United States

Charlie Kirk's 2000 Mules True The Vote Interview

Dear John,

Regarding the media and what's going on; you make a good point... Sometimes I can pull off unplugging for a few weeks and I can honestly say I'm happier.

That said, I think there is something about my personality that can't stand cognitive dissonance. When you're being told something but your gut says that's just not right it drives many people crazy.

I was dating a wonderful woman going on two years when things got weird. So weird I broke up with her. Two weeks later the "weirdness" moved in and set up house and everything made sense. A few months later they broke up and we got back together for another year and finally we both had had enough and she ended the relationship for good. A while later she married the "weirdness" and divorced him soon there after. Everything happens for a reason and I'm now very happy with my wonderful new wife and wish the one that needed "weirdness" in her life all the best.

Just saying... our brains know stuff we don't understand?

On April 6th, 2022 Arizona's AG released his preliminary report of their states 2020  election and the various issues that the State Senate requested be investigated. Why this took so long I have no idea. Why no one in the MSM is talking about this blows me away. Maybe AZ had a clean election in 2020 but this report makes it absolutely clear that if the election was clean it wasn't because AZ's election processes was followed.

You should read it with an open mind and ask yourself... Is the "narrative" that this report is really all about Arizona's AG running for governor correct or is there something going on in various Arizona counties?

How many people worked on this report?

Why after so long is it still preliminary?

Personally I want election day to be election day. If for some reason you can't vote on election day then of course you can vote absentee. However, absentee ballots should make up only a small percentage of the vote and be counted only when there is a chance they could possibly make a difference. Furthermore, I would be okay making voting a national holiday or require companies to give voters either the 1st half or the 2nd half of the day off. But this election "season" voting is bullshit and weeks and weeks of voting needs to stop! Last Presidential cycle millions of Americans votes were cast before the 1st debate and I think it's obvious that ballot harvesting operations "banked" thousands of votes before November.

I know Wisconsin's 2020 voted was screwed up to such an extent it was just one Wisconsin Supreme Court judge's vote away from being tossed out completely.

I'm pretty sure Georgia's 2020 vote had significant irregularities and the evidence that Arizona's election could have been messed with was clearly documented by Arizona's AG.

I've read a lot about what happened in Philadelphia and the 14th amendment case that wasn't heard (not my words but Clarence Thomas') and it looks like Detroit and other liberal cities had serious issues as well.

If you give a shit about the possibility that the 2020 election might have been rigged (besides BS articles like suckers and losers, a working vaccine not announced, social media's shadow suppression of news sharing between friends, Hunter Biden's laptop and 50+ intelligence experts lying, the virus coming from nature, etc...) take a moment and read this?

Charlie Kirk 2000 Mules True The Vote Interview Summary

When the MSM announced in just days the 2020 election was the most secure, the most fair, an example of democracy in action, the most free in our countries entire history, the best in the know universe, etc... My cognitive dissonance kicked into overdrive.

Elon Musk's Free Speech?

Only time will tell if Elon Musk will be able to change the trajectory of free speech in America. Also there are no guarantees that his version of free speech will align with what our founding fathers believed. That said, I'm hopeful that Elon's purchase of Twitter is the beginning of the end of the Lefts takeover of this country.

From polling that is seemingly always slanted in one direction to story after story eventually being corrected in to what conservatives have been saying for months or years. One thing that is no longer deniable, because the media is actually saying it, they are biased beyond belief. There are few signs that journalism will ever "become" nonpartisan again which is fine as long as you're not making stuff up.

Note: Historically journalism been partisan but making up stories from thin air to damage your opponent is something although not entirely new has become common place.

I've never meet Elon Musk but in 2014 I was very lucky to meet a handful of SpaceX's inner circle and tour the Hawthorne rocket factory. I was massively impressed with both the people and the facility and this gives me great hope that a 50 year old, South Africa immigrant is the right person to restore freedom of speech in America. A fundamental freedom of our founding which seemingly is the proverbial Kryptonite to the Left.
