I looked it up and still don't get it. The left loves qanon but they can never explain what it is.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/twitter-poison-pill-elon-musk Twitter's board of directors has unanimously adopted a limited duration shareholder rights plan following Tesla CEO Elon Musk's $54.20 per share offer to take the social media giant private. Under the plan, which is also referred to as a "poison pill", shareholders' rights will become exercisable if an entity, person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of Twitter's outstanding common stock in a transaction not approved by the board. In the event that the rights become exercisable, shareholders will be entitled to purchase additional shares of common stock at a discounted rate. The board says the plan "is intended to enable all shareholders to realize the full value of their investment in Twitter" and will "reduce the likelihood that any entity, person or group gains control of Twitter through open market accumulation without paying all shareholders an appropriate control premium or without providing the Board sufficient time to make informed judgments and take actions that are in the best interests of shareholders." The plan, which will expire on April 14, 2023, does not prevent Twitter's board from engaging with parties or accepting an acquisition proposal if they believe it is in the best interest of the company and its shareholders. Musk's $43 billion bid comes less than two weeks after he disclosed a 9.2% stake in Twitter on April 4. Though Musk was initially invited to join Twitter's board, he later declined the offer. As part of joining the board, Musk would've been unable to own more than 14.9% of Twitter's stock while serving on the board or for 90 days after. Musk's board term would have expired at Twitter’s 2024 annual meeting.

Why is it they never want to elaborate on their decisions? Internet sensation Libs of TikTok, which often shares videos of left-wing individuals making eyebrow-raising comments, has been suspended from Instagram as the media and Big Tech’s war on the account continues. Libs of TikTok has also been repeatedly suspended by social media giant Twitter, where it has 1.2 million followers, and the account holder has also been doxxed by the Washington Post. It appears Instagram is the latest juggernaut to find an issue with the popular social media personality. The Libs of TikTok account holder – who plans to appeal Instagram's decision – tweeted a message from Instagram declaring the account was suspended on May 27 and there was a 30-day window to "disagree with the decision." Instagram stated Libs of TikTok’s account violated the social media platform’s Community Guidelines but didn’t elaborate on how the rules were broken. "Your account is not visible to people on Instagram, and you can’t use it," the message said. https://www.foxnews.com/media/instagram-suspends-libs-tiktok-big-tech-media

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Blockbuster: After weeks of negotiations, in one of the largest trades in NFL history, the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos have agreed to terms for a deal involving Super-Bowl winning QB Russell Wilson, sources tell ESPN. Trade is pending a physical and Wilson’s approval.

"Erosion of a bedrock of American democracy." Country founded on Christianity, and now people think that that some dude praying after a game, not pushing it on others, is a threat to American democracy. Think this SI guy knows what a constitutional republic is? Sports Illustrated hit for article claiming Supreme Court ruling on prayer could erode 'American democracy' Sports Illustrated (SI) was blasted Monday for what many Twitter users considered a biased take on an upcoming Supreme Court case on religious freedom. The sports magazine promoted an article on its Twitter account penned by Greg Bishop that discussed the case involving high school football coach Joe Kennedy’s right to pray on the field after a game. Although the case has yet to be ruled on, Sports Illustrated warned that a ruling in favor of Kennedy would be "an erosion of a bedrock of American democracy." "SCOTUS will soon rule on the case of a public school football coach who wants to pray on-field after games. @GregBishopSI on Joe Kennedy, the machine backing him and the expected result: a win for Kennedy and an erosion of a bedrock of American democracy," the post read. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/media/sports-illustrated-supreme-court-erode-american-democracy-prayer.amp

The left can't figure out if they want to go old and feeble or young and communist. Maybe both? As that is what they are made up of currently. feinstein - pelosi - creepy joey etc etc etc. 87-year-old senator is 'seriously struggling,' sources told the New Yorker New Yorker magazine staff writer Jane Mayer published a story Thursday citing people familiar with U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein's current situation as saying her apparent cognitive decline has been "evident for several years." Those familiar with the California Democrat's current state told the New Yorker that Feinstein, 87, has been "seriously struggling" and that her short-term memory "has grown so poor that she often forgets she has been briefed on a topic, accusing her staff of failing to do so just after they have." During a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Big Tech, then-ranking member Feinstein asked Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey the same question twice. Dorsey answered the question the same way the second time she asked it. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/feinstein-cognitive-decline-new-yorker-article

Focking thief learned well from her demicrat mentors. Pretend to care about black people, and steal money in their name while doing nothing for them except for making people hate them. Tryning to run and hide now. The embattled co-founder of Black Lives Matter announced on Thursday that she’s resigning as executive director amid criticism over her lavish lifestyle. Patrisse Cullors, 37 — who has been at the helm of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation for nearly six years — said she is leaving to focus on a book and TV deal. But her resignation comes amid controversy over the group’s finances and Cullors’ personal wealth — including an alleged real estate buying spree in which she snagged four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US, according to property records reported last month. https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2021/05/27/black-lives-matter-co-founder-patrisse-cullors-resigns-amid-controversy/amp/

Focking disgusting idiots. This should end up in court. Students not allowed to finish semester after suspension The parents of three University of Massachusetts-Amherst students who were suspended for allegedly violating the school's COVID-19 health policy told "Fox & Friends" the "draconian" punishment was "complete overkill." The students, all women, were first removed from campus and then were cut off their remote lesson access. "They went to a gathering, off-campus on a Saturday. They took a picture and another student screenshotted that picture on Instagram and sent it to the administration," one of the parents told host Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday. "So that picture virtually got them kicked out of school." .... "It's been heartbreaking watching my well-adjusted daughter be emotionally distraught," she added. "It's been heartbreaking for my whole family." She stressed that the university has shown "no compassion to us." The women were also reportedly not allowed to take their final exams, rendering the school year moot and forcing them to reapply next year. The cost for one semester is $16,000 — a fee the families will not see refunded as part of the punishment. https://www.foxnews.com/us/umass-students-suspended-maskless-photo-complete-overkill

I hope it keeps up. This is fun drama stuff. It keeps getting better towards the end of it. This is awesome.

philthadelphia. Sanctuary city. Another liberal run shlt show. At least three people are dead in Philadelphia and nearly a dozen other victims have been injured during a shooting incident Saturday evening, according to multiple reports. Authorities responded to the scene in the South Street neighborhood just before midnight, where they found multiple shooters, with one firing into a crowd of people, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Philadelphia Police Department Inspector D.F. Pace said 14 people had been shot, including three who died, per the outlet. "You can imagine there were hundreds of individuals enjoying South Street, as they do every single weekend, when this shooting broke out," Pace said, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. According to the report, a Philadelphia police officer fired their own weapon at least once toward the suspect before the individual fled. The suspect was reportedly struck in the arm, but it is not immediately clear if the suspect was hit by the officers' gunfire amid the chaotic situation. blah blah blah... https://www.foxnews.com/us/philadelphia-shooting-dead

Heard on NFL radio that Pittsburgh will only have to travel a total of only 6400 miles this season. Fewest of all teams. As opposed to Seattle needing to travel 30,000+ miles in the coming season. And what's really crazy, is Pitt will play every one of their games in the eastern time zone this season. Talk about an advantage. Official schedule comes out tomorrow I guess.

Fock you biden... A bus from Texas arrived in Washington, D.C. Wednesday morning, transporting dozens of illegal immigrants as part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s new plan to counter federal immigration policies during an ongoing border crisis. Abbott announced last week that he was directing the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to transport migrants released from federal custody in Texas to the nation’s capital and other locations outside his state. The bus pulled up at approximately 8 a.m. local time, blocks away from the U.S. Capitol building. Fox News has learned that they came from the Del Rio sector in Texas, after coming to the U.S. from Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Upon the bus's arrival in Washington, D.C., individuals disembarked one by one except for family units who exited together. They checked in with officials and had wristbands they were wearing cut off before being told they could go. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/texas-migrant-bus-arrives-washington-d-c

Texas has dispatched buses to the southern border to retrieve illegal immigrants after Gov. Greg Abbott said this week that he planned to send those released in his state to the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. Within the last 24 hours, the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) has dispatched an unspecified number of buses to small Texas communities that are said by officials to be overwhelmed by an influx of migrants placed there by the federal government. "In the last 24 hours, TDEM has dispatched buses to areas where communities have expressed concerns about the federal government dropping off migrants and has the capability to send as many as is necessary to fulfill the requests from mayors and county judges," Seth Christensen, chief of media and communications for TDEM, told Fox News Digital. Christensen also said the majority of areas in the state that expressed concern over the large numbers of illegal immigrants being placed in their communities now say the federal government has "stopped dropping migrants in their towns" since Abbott's announcement. "From the [Rio Grande Valley] to Terrell County, a large majority of the communities that originally reached out for support through this operation have now said that the federal government has stopped dropping migrants in their towns since the governor’s announcement on Wednesday," he said. Christensen said each bus "has the capacity and supplies necessary to carry up to 40 migrants." On Wednesday, Abbott said at a news conference that the state would be sending the migrants "to the United States Capitol, where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border." W. Nim Kidd, chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, said at the time that his agency will "use as many buses as we need" to follow Abbott's directive. The plan comes weeks before Title 42 is slated to expire on May 23. The Trump-era health order has been used to expel migrants at the southern border since the COVID-19 pandemic. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/texas-begins-dispatching-buses-to-the-southern-border-to-transport-illegal-immigrants-to-d-c

This is well put. Straight to the point. Restorative justice, affirmation-based conversations and soft promises have replaced the clear expectations and consequences After teaching in elementary, middle, and high school science classes, and directing the science teachers and curriculum for a 35,000 student district, I’ve concluded that our modern methods of managing student behavior are an abysmal failure. I’ve watched as teachers tried to coddle, affirm, and indulge their way to a great classroom—only to be met with disappointment, disrespect, and violence. The behavioral practices and classroom management techniques we were forced to implement are responsible. Restorative justice, affirmation-based conversations, and soft promises have replaced the clear expectations and consequences that provided children with safety and consistency over the last two hundred years. In my classrooms, I used traditional methods of discipline, which required students to follow a certain set of rules in order to participate in the classroom. This maintained a level of respect, ensured all in the room knew their role, their limits, and established that the values and expectations of their homes were being upheld. My classes never had fights, rarely had outbursts, and facilitated quiet learning. Of course, this wasn’t new or groundbreaking. In its various forms, traditional expectations prevented many tragedies that have become so commonplace in public schools today. There were few issues of in-classroom student-to-student violence, much less any threats toward a staff member. School property remained largely untouched—and a common moral foundation enforced by the home and school allowed students to find purpose and belonging in participating as respectful members of society. As progressive ideologies were driven by a newer view of morality, teachers colleges began sending out new teachers with progressive ideas. Reprimanding a student academically or socially was now seen as barbaric and abusive. In many cases, bad or violent behavior from students was attributed to systemic racial discrimination. The "School to Prison Pipeline" narrative gained substantial popularity in the 2010s, suggesting that suspending students for violent behavior made them more likely to drop out, get arrested, and spend their lives in prison. No longer was violent behavior the largest threat to students—but the school’s response to it. This has resulted in horrifying policies that are driving teachers out of the classroom in record-numbers. While many suggest that COVID-19 and "low pay" are responsible for teachers leaving the profession, pre-COVID studies and surveys indicate this trend was already in full-swing, and that teachers no longer trust their administrations to handle the crisis of behavior issues. While directing the science curriculum for Indianapolis, I joined fellow administration staff at Crispus Attucks High School, waiting for their principal to join us for afternoon observations. She was late to the meeting because a teacher was handing her an immediate resignation—who couldn’t stand another second of the violence and chaos. George Washington High School initiated a policy of permanently locking bathrooms (unless chaperoned by a teacher or security officer) to prevent students from fighting in them. In Crispus Attucks’ case, the principal began her presentation informing us that she had petitioned Indianapolis Public Schools to allow the expulsion of several violent students—none of her requests had been approved. While in the classroom and hallways it’s easy to see the behavior crisis, administrations proclaim the success of these progressive policies by citing lower numbers of suspensions, expulsions, and behavior referrals. What principals and counselors fail to mention is that the criteria for referrals have changed as a result of progressive policy. If a school refuses to expel a violent student, it does not have to record that negative action, therefore the number of expulsions continues to decline—while the violent student is sent back to class among the victims of his last fight. In fact, teachers are encouraged that a lack of behavioral standards is more "inclusive." We have yet to see convincing evidence of any school system’s general behavior improving after implementing progressive behavioral policies. We Are Teachers has a lengthy article proclaiming the success of these practices, full of infographics, charts, and utopian analogies—but the only practical example given is Oakland. Edutopia reported in 2015 that Oakland had implemented restorative justice practices, choosing small counseling sessions over traditional expectations and consequences, to great success. Just four years later, the Oakland Unified School police department reported responding to ~1,000 violent calls per semester. To begin addressing this catastrophe, we must return to traditional authority, standards, and consequences in the classroom. Katharine Birbalsingh left public education in London to found a school dedicated to this classical model of character and expectations—and the proof is in the pudding. While the Michaela Community School has the same inner-city location and students found across the UK and United States, the culture is remarkably different. High behavioral expectations are the norm, and the consequences for failing to meet those are consistent, specific, and carried out with the full support of the teachers, administration, and parents. Academics and behavior at the school are at excellent levels—and classroom disruptions are extraordinarily rare. She and her teachers wrote a book proclaiming its success, praising the methods and resulting environment. It’s time we stopped ignoring what has always worked, for the shrill moral preening of those who claim that expectations are too harsh for children. Friendship circles and small-group counseling sessions are temporary, but character development through firm expectations lasts a lifetime. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/teacher-progressive-policies-classroom-tony-kinnett

Just heard this.

Peyton Manning's QB coach Tom Moore, who oversaw the rise of Manning, was asked once why he has been.giving nearly all the reps in practice to Manning and very few to the back up QBs. He replied, "Fellas, if '18' goes down, we're focked. And we don't practice focked."

Ok. Things just got even more looney tunes on the left. This shlt is getting serious. How outrageously stupid are the people who keep voting that freak in? And I didn't know you had to be a billionaire to be labeled a capitalist. “Let me tell you a secret,” Ocasio-Cortez began in a whisper. “Most people don’t really know what capitalism is. Most people don’t even know what socialism is. But most people are not capitalists, because they don’t have capitalist money. They’re not billionaires.” “The label doesn’t matter as much as talking about policies,” she continued in a whisper. “That’s easier to understand. Do you think people should die because they can’t afford insulin? Do you think that fossil fuel CEOs should decide whether the planet gets set on fire? Me neither.” Ocasio-Cortez appeared to be participating in a Q&A session on her Instagram story. The question she was responding to read, “How do you respond when people accuse you of being a ‘socialist’?”

Bernie Sanders famously said that "real" socialism has never been tried. Frankly, we're shocked he would ever suggest such a thing because there are numerous examples of real socialist utopias that we have to pull from. Here are just a few: 1) Star Trek's Federation of Planets: There's no money, but people still work for some reason. Workers of the world, set your phasers to Social Contract! 2) The Borg Collective: Like a more efficient Federation that tears through freedom-loving planets and subjects them to the will of the collective. 3) In the wonderful dream AOC had last night: Elon Musk even made an appearance. 4) In John Lennon's "Imagine": Everything works perfectly when you imagine it! Even marriage to Yoko Ono. 5) Smurf Village: Cheerful workers in a heavily regulated population. Just like China. 6) In Bernie Sander's serial fanfic: He's been writing Social Thunder for three years now. It's a big hit on his Substack. 7) A beaver dam: Everyone chips in or they all die. 8) The nuclear family: Too bad the nuclear family is RACIST. 9) An ant farm: It worked great until a kid came and shook it up. 10) Whatever South American country Che Guevara ruled: We're sure socialism worked there, otherwise people wouldn't still be wearing the shirt You see! Socialism is alive and well today. You only have to open yourself up to the imaginary world behind you and seize the means of production for the proletariat! https://babylonbee.com/news/10-times-socialism-actually-worked?utm_source=The+Babylon+Bee+Newsletter&utm_campaign=63199d107d-Sponsored_Newsletter_6%2F22%2F22&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_62f636e998-63199d107d-42735511&mc_cid=63199d107d&mc_eid=811fff1d67
