Founded by Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook had a gradual rollout, becoming widely available in 2004. The site now has nearly three billion users and earns revenue by collecting information about each of them. Advertisers can then use that information to better target their ads. Facebook may say the site is free but, users give up personal information to use the platform. TNSTAAFL, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

The online Cambridge dictionary defines virtue-signaling as, “indicating that one has virtue merely by expressing disgust or favour for certain political ideas or cultural happenings.” In other words, someone says what they think is right so others view them as virtuous. Politicians have done this since the dawn of time.

Why is any conservative still on Twitter? Founded by Jack Dorsey in 2006, the microblogging and social networking service has made a habit of banning conservative viewpoints.

Throughout the COVID pandemic, my thoughts about politicians, scientists, and teachers have evolved. I’ve mentioned before that in 2019 a little teriyaki restaurant I enjoy had a fire that forced the owners to close for repairs. Just when they were ready to reopen, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee shut them down. They were non-essential in the age of COVID-19. However, the nearby liquor store remained open. In Nevada, churches were closed, but casinos remained open. It all begins with an idea.

Founded in 2010, GoFundMe is now the largest crowdfunding platform in the world. The site has raised over nine billion dollars from over 120 million donors. It has also made a sport of shutting down conservative and Christian funding campaigns.

Woke culture, cancel culture, and critical race theory are taking over both public and private schools. I suspect that those who disagree with the previous statement will be deemed insufficiently woke and be canceled by the illiberal social media mob.

Each year my wife buys a daily Jeopardy calendar and after breakfast, we read the question of the day. On Easter morning this year, we read, “A little birdie told us there’s a 2009 documentary all about these marshmallow Easter treats.” Peeps is the answer.

I quit watching the major network news programs years ago. The anchors either couldn’t see their bias, or didn’t care. Either way, I didn’t want to listen. Fox News seemed like a natural choice and has dominated the ratings for nearly twenty years. I get most of my news from them.

Every conservative knows how badly our values are maligned and misrepresent by Hollywood. However, there are some pearls in amongst the slop. Since this is a website devoted to conservative alternatives I thought it would be useful to mention some of the better entertainment.

While you surf the internet you’re being watched. If you use Chrome, by far the most popular browser, Google is watching. Safari reports to Apple and Edge to Microsoft. Those three browsers make up eighty-five percent of the user market.

I’m sure you’ve tried to call a business and ended up on their automated answering system. You know the type, “Press 1 for English, press 2 for Spanish, press 3 for Icelandic.

Rush Limbaugh has been a part of my life for thirty years.

I first became aware of him while stationed in Japan serving with the Navy. On October 6, 1991, Rush appeared on 60 Minutes. That evening I watched the interview on the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS).

I’ve watched as the posts of conservatives are banned, taken down, fact-checked, or labeled as inaccurate. The wealthy big tech bullies of Facebook have refused to boost many of my posts. I’m certain Twitter has shadow banned me. Meanwhile, those labeled as woke or progressive post vile and violent rants without being censored. At some point, silence and inaction become submission.

During the Blitz, in the dark days of early World War II, Nazi bombs rained down on much of England. Millions of children were sent to the relative safety of regions farther north and west. Many Londoners slept in the subway tunnels as bombs exploded above them. In the morning, they emerged to the smoldering ruins of their city. They checked to see if they still had a home and then went on to work manufacturing rifles, ammunition, ships, planes, and other weapons of war. Amazingly, the rates of suicide and drunkenness actually declined.

YouTube had restricted access to a video called, The Ten Commandments: What you should know. That’s what the article by Dennis Prager, the creator of the video declared.

I did some checking. He’s right. Don’t misunderstand me; you can still watch the video unless you’ve activated the YouTube restricted mode. The restricted mode prevents the viewing of pornography, violence, and obscenity.

Recently, Yahoo Movies criticized actor Chris Pratt for wearing a ‘white supremacist’ t-shirt.’ You can read the article, now cleansed of all white supremacist references, here and see the t-shirt below.

Anyone with a high school education should be familiar with the flag created by Christopher Gadsden during the Revolutionary War. It was used by the Continental Marines as an early motto flag and has a completely non-racist history.

Bill Maher thinks I’m angry.

I first heard of Bill Maher as the host of Politically Incorrect on Comedy Central. I watched a few shows but soon moved on. Like so many comedians, Bill struck me as someone who thinks they’re funny and knows for certain they are the smartest person in any room.

Such people annoy me, but I’m not angry.

As a fiction author I try to stay out of politics on this site.

I really do. But that may have to change. With each passing week, I have become more displeased with the NFL players and others on the left.

Deadline Hollywood reported that before the most recent Seattle Seahawks game, Michael Bennett, Sheldon Richardson…

The Public Theater of New York City recently decided that it would be a good idea to stage Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar” in a modern setting. In this version of the play the dictator, Julius Caesar, looks a lot like Donald Trump and, of course, in act three he’s murdered in order to save the country.

I’ll start this off by stating that Donald Trump was not my first choice for president. Early in the primary season I believe there were seventeen Republicans running for the office. Trump would not have been in my top ten. I’m a conservative. During most of the primary I had no idea what Donald Trump was, other than a better choice than Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.
