Sessions invites 24 state attorneys general to summit on social media monopolies

Sessions invites 24 state attorneys general to summit on social media monopolies

" ....Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry told PJ Media that investigating Facebook and Google on anti-trust and consumer protection issues “shouldn’t be a partisan issue.”

“I’ve got some Democratic AG friends that are concerned about the anti-trust position in the market in relation to the consumer,” Landry said. “The same fundamentals that allow Facebook or Google to control the free market and hurt consumers are the same fundamentals that allow them to suppress content.”

Landry accused social media companies of creating “a virtual fence around the free market.”

Chris Gacek, a senior fellow at the Family Research Council, said that “you probably only need five states” to get involved in pressuring the tech giants “and you can really mess these guys up.” ...

The Manafort Plea Agreement

If anyone cares to read the plea agreement the attorney writing this article has posted it on SCRIBD. 

THE MANAFORT PLEA AGREEMENT

On Friday Paul Manafort agreed to a guilty plea to resolve the pending federal charges against him in the District of Columbia (the pending charges set forth in a superseding criminal information), the charges remaining against him in the Eastern District of Virginia and to the related charge of obstruction of justice. None of it has anything ot do with the Trump presidential campaign, of course, but the agreement leaves open the possibility that Manafort might be prosecuted “for any crimes not included within th[e] agreement.” I have embedded a copy of the letter agreement below via Scribd.

WaPo Slams NYT Over Embarrassing Nikki Haley "Drape-Gate" Retraction

Can journalists not research articles before they post them???? Guess a hit piece is a hit piece.

WaPo Slams NYT Over Embarrassing Nikki Haley "Drape-Gate" Retraction

The  New York Times  on Thursday wrote an incredibly  ham-handed hit-piece  on UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, suggesting that she had spent over $52,000 on curtains at the official ambassador's residence. 

Except,  she didn't. The curtains were installed during the Obama administration, while Susan Rice stayed there at a cost of approximately $135,000 per month - over twice what Haley's rent costs, according to the Daily Caller's Kyle Becker.

Obama-Hillary Fired Benghazi Heroes When they Got to Germany – Made Them Find Their Own Way Back to

Seriously???

Obama-Hillary Fired Benghazi Heroes When they Got to Germany – Made Them Find Their Own Way Back to US (VIDEO)

"Jason Chaffetz: You know what happened when they actually got home? Those people saved dozens of American lives. When they got home you know what the State Department, Hillary’s State Department did? They took away their security clearance so they couldn’t get a job. It’s unbelievable. That’s how they treated these guys. When they were there in Germany. When they were there in Germany. They didn’t send them home. They didn’t offer them plane tickets. They just told them they were released. They had to pay for their own plane tickets to get home."

Return Of The Hypocrite

RETURN OF THE HYPOCRITE

"......Obama also referred to criticism of his administration’s performance during the Benghazi terrorist attack as a “conspiracy theory.” This brought a heated rejoinder from Kris Paranto, a heroic survivor of the attack:

Kris Paronto (twitter)
@KrisParonto
Benghazi is a conspiracy @BarackObama ?! How bout we do this,let’s put your cowardly ass on the top of a roof with 6 of your buddies&shoot rpg’s&Ak47’s at you while terrorists lob 81mm mortars killing 2 of your buddies all while waiting for US support that you never sent#scum    3:33 PM - Sep 7, 2018

Paranto’s point seemed cogent to me, but Twitter apparently didn’t agree. It suspended Paranto’s account, apparently on the ground that he was disrespectful toward a former president. Now if Twitter will suspend the accounts of all who are critical of, or disrespectful toward, President Trump, I will be convinced that its algorithms are devoid of any political bias."
