Good morning, folks! Reason #5,000,001 why Biden leaving the White House can't come soon enough... When he took office in 2021, the U.S. National Science Foundation awarded $14,280,928 in funding grants for 'Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion' (DEI) initiatives. This year, it’s awarding $289,593,584 - an increase of over 9,000%!!

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will have their hands full unwinding this mess…

  • 💉 60% of Americans don't plan to take new Covid jab

  • 🌍️ Biden announced $1 billion in aid to Africa

  • 📉 Ratings since election: MSNBC -22%, CNN -13%, Fox +16%

  • ❎ Hunter Biden owes a landlord $300,000 in unpaid rent

Meta admits it censored too much

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, acknowledged Tuesday that its content moderation policies during the pandemic and election cycles went too far, often silencing “harmless content.”

The details: Meta shared a report yesterday, admitting their error rates were "too high" when it came to content moderation.

  • Meta President of Global Affairs Nick Clegg said: "Too often, harmless content gets taken down or restricted, and too many people get penalized unfairly."

On Covid censorship: Clegg admitted: “With hindsight, we feel that we overdid it a bit." No sh*t, genius.

Biden regime pressure: CEO Mark Zuckerberg told Congress in August that Meta faced repeated pressure from the Biden administration in 2021 to censor COVID-19 content, including satire.

Zoom out: Last week, Zuckerberg traveled to Mar-a-Lago to meet with President-elect Donald Trump, who he banned from his social media platforms in 2021 before lifting the bans in 2023.

Real talk from G: I currently have 16 “violations” flagged on the @Wake_Up_Right Instagram account, mostly against content about COVID-19 and the 2020 election. The censorship regime at META was a wicked tool that blurred the line between private enterprise and government-sanctioned censorship. Zuck and team owe Americans much more than a “report” and a half-apology.

Your thoughts on trans procedures for kids…

Yesterday, I asked you to weigh in on the issue currently being argued before the U.S. Supreme Court, over whether children should be allowed to have gender reassignment procedures like sex change surgeries and chemical therapies. Here’s what you said…

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 🔴 Yes, they should be banned. (1887)

⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ 🟢 No, it's a free country. (21)

🔴 They should be banned: "It’s barbaric, and it’s just a money maker for big pharma”

🟢 It’s a free country: “I would not do this for my own children, but I do not think it should be altogether banned. Make it much more regulated and left up to each state, in the same vain that abortions are.”

 🔴 They should be banned: “Children cannot make life-changing decisions when they are minors because their minds and judgment are not fully developed. You also cannot change a mental problem with a supposed physical fix."

 🔴 They should be banned: “Just as we require age limits to vote, buy a gun, buy cigarettes, buy lotto tickets and rent a car…we should have age limits to mutilate our bodies. Leave the children alone you sick people!”

 🔴 They should be banned: “As a teacher for young children, I see daily how their brains are not developed enough to make life altering decisions! Half my class changed their minds (almost daily) as to what they wanted to be for Halloween."

South Korea declares and quickly rescinds martial law

South Korea descended into chaos yesterday as President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law, accusing opposition leaders of colluding with North Korea to undermine the government. Within a few hours, the declaration was rescinded.

Martial law: The day began with Yoon announcing: “I declare martial law in order to eradicate the shameless pro-North Korea anti-state forces that are plundering the freedom and happiness of our people and to protect the free constitutional order."

  • The nation's capital of Seoul became chaotic in the aftermath, with citizens demonstrating and clashing with the military and police.

Rescinding martial law: Following the declaration, opposition lawmakers stormed the nation's National Assembly [in ways akin to our Congress] to hold a vote to nullify Yoon's order. The measure passed 190-0.

  • The South Korean military initially dismissed the vote as illegitimate, saying only the President and Defense Minister could lift the order.

  • Shortly after the vote, Yoon withdrew his martial law order, potentially due to opposition within his own party.

The politics: Following elections in April, Yoon’s party lost majority in the National Assembly, with the opposition Democratic Party (DPK) securing 192 of 300 seats. DPK is seen as more sympathetic to North Korea and Communist China.

What comes next? It is speculated that Yoon could be impeached.

Big picture: South Korea is a major U.S. ally and hosts multiple American military bases with tens of thousands of troops. An emboldened DPK could complicate our relationship with a key ally in the region.
