Democrats seem to hate anyone who is competent and accomplished. They hate Trump because he threatened their hold on power and they hate Musk because he favors free speech.

 Democrats Develop Elon Musk Derangement Syndrome 

By Allysia Finley 

As President Biden last week warned in a dark speech that American democracy is “under attack” by Mr. Trump and “MAGA Republicans,” Democrats and their media allies hyperventilated that Mr. Musk would take a wrecking ball to Twitter. “The world’s richest man has apparently decided to set his $44 billion investment on fire,” wrote one Washington Post columnist.

Mr. Musk’s takeover is no more likely to destroy Twitter than Republican control of Congress will destroy democracy. Democrats are panicking because both will impose much-needed checks on progressive rule. 

For months liberals have warned that Mr. Musk’s free-speech policies would turn Twitter into a cesspool of violence, obscenity and hate, even though he has assured advertisers he won’t make it an anything-goes platform. Nonetheless, companies such as General Motors, Pfizer and Mondelez have bought the spin and paused advertising on the platform. 

Democrats are raising a new bogeyman. Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy on Oct. 31 called for the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or Cfius, to investigate the “national security implications of Saudi Arabia’s purchase of Twitter.” “We should be concerned that the Saudis, who have a clear interest in repressing political speech and impacting U.S. politics, are now the second-largest owner of a major social media platform,” he tweeted.

The Saudi government didn’t “purchase” Twitter. A Saudi prince’s conglomerate, Kingdom Holding Co., held a roughly $1.89 billion stake in Twitter as a public company that it is rolling over in Mr. Musk’s deal to take it private. Mr. Murphy says the Saudis have a “clear political motivation” because they could have cashed out of Twitter as many public investors did, which “would have been the financially sound thing to do.”

Not if the Saudis, like former CEO Jack Dorsey and U.S. venture funds that kept or acquired stakes, believe Mr. Musk will turn the challenged company around. Democrats may struggle to comprehend this, but not everyone agrees that Mr. Musk is destined to fail. 

The day after Mr. Murphy’s letter, the Washington Post reported that White House officials were considering a national-security investigation into Mr. Musk’s Twitter takeover owing to concern about its foreign investors—namely, the Kingdom Holding Co. and Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange founded by a Chinese-Canadian business executive.

A 2018 law lets Cfius review deals in which a foreign entity takes a minority stake in a U.S. business that maintains “critical infrastructure” or collects sensitive personal data of U.S. citizens. The White House’s purported concern is that Mr. Musk could share Twitter user data with foreign investors, who might also seek to censor content they dislike.

Some Democrats also warn that Mr. Musk could suppress views that offend China’s Communist Party to protect Tesla’s sizable business in China. That’s unlikely under Mr. Musk’s plan to make Twitter’s algorithms open-source. It’s also strangely inconsistent with Democrats’ lack of concern that TikTok, which is wholly owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, will moderate content at Beijing’s behest.

A Bloomberg dispatch last month reported that Biden officials were discussing whether to subject the Twitter deal to a national-security review after growing disturbed by Mr. Musk’s recent threat to stop financing the Starlink satellite service to Ukraine—in addition to tweets viewed as favorable to the Kremlin, including that Russia should be allowed to keep Crimea, which it seized in 2014.

Why should Mr. Musk be expected to foot the bill for U.S. foreign and military aid? Starlink’s satellite competitors, including OneWeb and Amazon, aren’t. Mr. Musk’s tweets on Ukraine are cringe-worthy, but no more so than the now-withdrawn letter by the Congressional Progressive Caucus urging the White House to negotiate directly with Russia to end the war in Ukraine.

The point is that none of the Democrats’ objections are principled. They oppose Mr. Musk’s takeover for the simple reason that they want to silence conservative voices and contrarian views on subjects such as climate and Covid. Twitter’s deposed executives succeeded at this even as they failed to make money for investors.

Twitter has posted a net loss every year since going public in 2013, save 2018 and 2019. Last year it generated a mere $4.5 billion in advertising revenue compared with Alphabet’s $210 billion and Amazon’s $31 billion. Unlike other large tech companies, it has failed to develop beyond its core competency. Mr. Musk has to clean house to prevent it from burning down.

Democrats are rooting for Mr. Musk to fail. But unfortunately for them, he doesn’t appear to suffer from the self-destructive tendencies of Donald Trump

NORMALVILLE, Pennsylvania — If there were a way to illustrate the beginning, middle, and end of this election cycle in four powerful moments, I’d start with the faces of the men and women working on the construction of the Keystone pipeline, and the owners of the small businesses who supported them, that I witnessed days after President Joe Biden terminated their livelihoods. 

These are people who work with their hands in the harshest of weather conditions digging trenches, cleaning feeder pipes, laying concrete, ensuring the proper fittings on the connecting pipes, and loading and unloading heavy materials by hand. That's not including the faces of the people who run the motels, diners, machine shops, and barber shops and the mechanics who make sure they are fed, housed, cleaned, and able to get home when the job is done. 

The next image in my coverage of these first two years of the Biden administration captured the true beginning of his descent away from the public. It happened while I was driving past the town square in Independence, Missouri, and saw 13 empty chairs sitting in a semicircle at the base of the lowered American flag in front of the Old Jackson County Courthouse, with each chair bearing the name of one of the 13 soldiers lost in Afghanistan during Biden's bug-out from that country. 

It was in the days and weeks…

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ BIDEN'S WORD IS WORTHLESS. +++ Biden calls Netanyahu for the first time since election win "We are brothers; we will make history together...My commitment to Israel is unquestionable, " the U.S. president told the Likud leader. (November 7, 2022 / JNS) Six days after Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party won a parliamentary election, U.S. President Joe Biden called him on Monday, Netanyahu announced on Twitter. Netanyahu stated that Biden congratulated him on his election victory and said the alliance between the two countries is stronger than ever. Furthermore, Netanyahu told Biden that peace agreements with additional nations are possible while dealing with the Iranian threat. Netanyahu’s spokesman said the conversation lasted eight minutes, and that Biden said, “We are brothers; we will make history together….My commitment to Israel is unquestionable.” The call from Biden came after British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak congratulated Netanyahu. French President Emmanuel Macron congratulated Netanyahu on Sunday. Netanyahu has also been congratulated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, among others. ++++++++++++++++++++ THIS IS ALSO A SIDE OF AMERICA THAT MUST BE WIPED OUT: +++ ZOA PROMPTS FEDERAL INVESTIGATION INTO FAIRFAX, VA SCHOOL DISTRICT’S RESPONSE TO ANTISEMITIC HARASSMENT NEW YORK, NY (November 8, 2022) – In response to a detailed complaint filed last January by the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is investigating whether the Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) in Virginia inadequately responded to incidents of antisemitic harassment. FCPS is one of the largest school districts in the U.S. In a November 3, 2022 letter, OCR notified ZOA that it will be investigating ZOA’s allegations that FCPS discriminated against Jewish students by responding ineffectively to incidents of harassment that include but are not limited to: Students giving “Heil Hitler” and Nazi salutes; School officials leaving intact a wall tile display in a school hallway that included swastikas and other Nazi imagery; Students making “jokes” (e.g., “What’s the difference between putting a pizza in the oven and putting a Jew in the oven? The pizza doesn’t scream.”) and other harassing statements regarding Jews and money (e.g., “Jew them down”); Requiring classroom assignments that trivialized the Holocaust; and  Students mocking a Hebrew song during chorus class and in the hallways. ZOA National President Morton A. Klein announced, “We are pleased that OCR is investigating FCPS for failing to respond effectively to longstanding problems of antisemitism in the district. We thank members of the Jewish community who came to us, shared the painful antisemitic experiences that their children endured, and described how the experiences were rendered even more painful for students and their families when the antisemitism was met with indifference, insensitivity, and inaction by FCPS officials.” Director of the ZOA Center for Law and Justice Susan B. Tuchman, Esq. added, “We look forward to OCR thoroughly investigating ZOA’s allegations. ZOA and the Fairfax Jewish community are counting on OCR to ensure that FCPS finally lives up to its legal obligations under Title VI and provides Jewish students with a learning environment that is safe, respectful, and welcoming. That is what every student deserves and has a right to under the law.” Read More +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Read More Read More
