Facebook Algorithm Silencing Vaccine Hesitancy

May 30, 2021 Patriots4Truth

Internal documents leaked to Project Veritas by two Facebook employees expose an algorithm that identifies and demotes comments promoting vaccine hesitancy. The Facebook algorithm uses classifiers and keywords to assign a vaccine hesitancy or “VH” score to a given comment, explains Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe. Facebook will target and demote any comment they consider “alarmist” and/or “critical” about COVID and the vaccine – even if it is true – or any comment that indirectly discourages vaccination. As the leaked documents state, the program’s goal is to “drastically reduce user…

The Media Created Marjorie Taylor Greene

May 27, 2021May 27, 2021 Larry Horist

If our nation was not so divided … and the political passions were not so intense … and the media was not so biased … we could discuss Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene in a rational manner – or we might not be discussing her at all. But not today. By my measure of objectivity, we should be able to say that Greene does occasionally say some stupid things. I personally think her comparison of mask wearing to the mandatory six-pointed star in Nazi Germany was over the top. It…

UFOs? Ask Obama says Biden

May 27, 2021May 27, 2021 Patriots4Truth

Earlier this week, former President Obama appeared on late night TV and said the government cannot explain the videos of unidentified aerial phenomenon. The truth may be out there — but President Joe Biden isn’t saying so. The president ducked a question Friday on “unidentified aerial phenomena” — the subject of renewed interest as the Senate awaits a report from U.S. intelligence agencies on the matter — when a reporter asked him about recent remarks by his former boss. “President Obama says there is footage and records of objects in…

The Strange Hamas/Leftist Connection

May 27, 2021May 27, 2021 Bill Sheridan

Progressive-leaning Democrats sympathetic to the Palestinians are pressuring President Joe Biden to force Israel to stop its campaign against terrorist organization Hamas and to rethink US policy towards Israel. “We are horrified by Israel’s use of disproportionate and deadly force against Palestinians in Gaza which have already resulted in the killings of dozens of Palestinians, including children,” reads a statement released by 140 progressive groups including Justice Democrats and the Working Families Party. Black Lives Matter also expressed support for the Palestinians. The organization said in a tweet, “We are…

Florida takes on Big Tech

May 26, 2021May 26, 2021 Patriots4Truth

Yesterday, I wrote an article on Facebook banning a business in Florida from advertising a new line of products in support of first responders and law enforcement officers. In my opinion, this sort of censorship should never happen within our nation to any citizen with any opinion or desire to support anything they choose to. No matter if it is online or offline. Apparently, and thankfully, I am not the only American who carries this opinion. As I wrote in the article, I had missed some new news that Florida…

Defunding the Police Is Not the Only Problem

May 26, 2021 Larry Horist

As predicted … there is a SHARP rise in major crimes in our big cities. We see some reporting on the growing problem – more in the conservative media and less in the progressive media. Once the defund-the-police movement became a rallying point for the radical left – and an unofficial plank in the Democratic Party platform – those of us on the right – and in the right – predicted that crime would notch up across the country – and especially where the defunding idiocy was put into practice. …

Why Are Capitol Police Officers Departing En Masse?

May 25, 2021 Alice Green

More than 70 law enforcement officers have left Washington, DC’s Capitol Police force following the chaotic event of January 6th Democrats like to call an “insurrection.” Officers have continued to resign despite a proposal from House Democrats to offer $1.9 billion in additional funding to the department. The proposal includes back pay for overtime hours, hazard pay, trauma support, retention bonuses, and expanded access to equipment and training. The proposal allocates $22 million to boost security for lawmakers and establishes a quick-reaction team that would function as a standing force…

Jill Biden Vs Kamala Harris

May 24, 2021May 25, 2021 Patriots4Truth

First lady Jill Biden is alleged to have told current VP, Kamala Harris, to “go f*CK herself” for the way she attacked Joe Biden on race during the 2020 presidential debates. Politico is reporting that Jill Biden used those choice words after Harris famously questioned her husband, then-candidate Biden’s record on race during a Democratic primary debate. According to the report, at the time, the then-future first lady fumed to supporters after Harris slammed Joe’s record opposing federally mandated interracial busing to desegregate schools. “That little girl was me!” Harris…

Limiting the 1st Amendment

May 23, 2021May 23, 2021 Patriots4Truth

Limiting the 1st Amendment Despite its prominent plating in the lore Americana, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes’s clear and present standard, exemplified by shouting fire in a crowded theater, has been recognized as inconstant, prone to bias, and unsatisfactory at explaining the threshold of America’s First Amendment. The case in which this standard was established, Schenck v. United States, was a landmark decision in defining the limits of the First Amendment. Schenck distributed draft opposition flyers, calling the state act “a form of involuntary servitude that violated the Thirteenth Amendment.” For…

Midterm Election Predictions for the GOP

May 22, 2021May 23, 2021 Larry Horist

Looking at the political landscape at this moment, it appears that Republican candidates are facing a challenging situation in the 2022 midterm elections. But my gut tells me that they will beat the odds. First, there is the tradition of the party of a first-term President losing seats in Congress. That is truer for the House than the Senate, however. In the House, Republicans only need to flip four seats to take control – not counting four current vacancies. In normal times, this would not be a steep hill to…
