This censorship bill if far too broad. It will be abused in the future. The TikTok bill is a Trojan Horse for censoring 𝕏. We all know that’s the real purpose. The Establishment can’t keep their jobs if the truth keeps coming out. 𝕏 promotes free speech and truth. Ergo, 𝕏 is a threat to the Establishment. @DavidSacks WHAT’S IN THE TIKTOK BILL? I’ve read H.R. 7521 (the "TikTok bill") carefully. Here’s a summary of the operative provisions: (1) The bill prohibits "foreign adversary controlled applications" from operating in the U.S. The prohibition applies not just to the app itself but to App Stores and internet hosting providers. Effectively, the bill creates a new kill switch preventing distribution of prohibited apps or websites at the app store or hosting level. (Sec. 2(a)(1)) (2) What is a "foreign adversary controlled application" (or FACA)? First, any website, desktop app, mobile app, or VR app operated by ByteDance or TikTok is a FACA. (Sec. 2(g)(3)) (3) Second, almost ANY social/content-sharing website, desktop app, mobile app, or VR app that has more than 1 million monthly active users can be a FACA if two conditions are met: First, if it is "controlled by a foreign adversary." Second, if the President determines it "to present a significant threat to the national security of the United States." Let’s unpack each of these. (Sec. 2(g)(1), 2(g)(2)) (4) The term “controlled by a foreign adversary” means that the company (A) is domiciled in, headquartered in, or organized under the laws of a foreign adversary country (i.e. China, Russia, Iran or N. Korea); OR (B) has a 20% ownership group from one of those countries; OR (C) is "subject to the direction or control of a foreign person or entity" from one of those countries. (Sec. 2(g)(1)) (5) The last part of that provision has rightly gotten a lot of attention because "subject to the direction of a foreign person or entity" is vaguer and broader than merely being "under the control of" that person or entity. In theory, if the Attorney General could make a case that a U.S. company was "subject to the direction of a foreign person or entity" from China or Russia, then the President could declare it a FACA. The company would then have to fight that determination in federal court. (6) To make a determination of a national security threat under the Act, the President must issue a public notice and a report to Congress. (Sec. 2(g)(3)) (7) A FACA has 180 days to divest if its owners want to avoid a total ban. The President gets to determine what qualifies as a proper divestiture. (Sec. 2(g)(3), 2(g)(6)) (8) The Attorney General is empowered to investigate potential violations and can pursue enforcement actions in federal district court. The main penalty is a $5,000 per user fine. Thus, for example, Apple could be on the hook for a $500 BILLION fine if all 100 million American TikTok users illegally accessed the app through Apple’s

In 30 seconds, Don Lemon shows exactly what’s wrong with modern "journalism."

Lemon arrogantly believes the media has authority over people, and they MUST answer to the likes of him.

It’s laughable when he asks @elonmusk if he ‘didn’t think he’d get in trouble,’ with the media.

Biden’s compliance with the global elites’ push for mass migration can be traced back to a single day: February 2, 2021. That’s the day Biden used an executive order to completely DISMANTLE our border security. But he says his hands are tied when it comes to fixing it?!

You want to destroy a country? Open its borders to anyone via mass migration and put it in crippling dept.

@RobertMSterling
This is the scariest chart I’ve ever made. This is what it looks like when a country is heading toward a financial precipice.

Each color shows $1T getting added to the national debt.

Not that long ago, it took six years to add a bar.

We’re now adding one every 90-120 days.

The explosion of debt has been the only bipartisan phenomenon of my lifetime. For us conservatives, we can’t blame it on just Biden and Obama. For you Democrats, you can’t put this on just Trump. It’s both parties, all presidents, and every Congress.

The acceleration started under George W. Bush. Bush went into 2002 with less than $6T of debt. Thanks to GWOT military spending and tax cuts we probably couldn’t afford, $6T grew to $7T in 23 months, $8T in another 21 months, and $9T in 23 months.

Then the Great Recession hit. We added the next trillion in 13 months, crossing $10T for the first time in American history. And we haven’t looked back since.

During the second Obama term, with spending reined in by the Tea Party movement, annual deficits reduced to less than $1T, and growth in the debt slowed down. At the end of Obama’s tenure, it took nearly 20 months to go from $19T to $20T.

That would be the last time it took a full year to add a trillion dollars to the debt.

In 2017, a real-estate developer got inaugurated as president. And, if there’s one thing we all know—and love!—about real-estate investors, it’s that they understand the value of leverage.

Under Trump, even as the economy surged, deficits grew, and national debt once again spiraled. We ended 2019 with a little over $24T in debt.

Then Covid hit, along with consumer stimulus, PPP loans, massive government spending, and reduced tax receipts. Over just two months in 2020—April and May—we added $2T to the national debt. Ever since, we’ve been adding $1T every 160 or so days.

With Biden in the White House and a narrowly divided Congress, we’re now adding $1T to the debt every three to four months. It took just 91 days to go from $32T to $33T. 104 days to get to $34T.

And it’s not slowing down. Biden has another 300+ days in office this term. When he or Trump enters their second respective term in office in 2025, the debt will likely be above $37T.

Where does it end? As deficits continue to pile up and borrowing costs remain relatively high compared to where they were over the previous 20 years, how is any of this sustainable?

This is an amazing number to watch in the next few years. Individual income taxes are about 1/2 of the govt revenue.

For February, the US govt collected $120 billion from individual income taxes. They had to spend $76 billion in February to pay interest on the nation debt.

We are not that far off from It took 63% of all personal income taxes in Feb to pay the interest on the debt – no roads, no military, no schools, no social security – JUST INTEREST:a day when 100% of individual income taxes are going to be required to pay for interest on the debt.
