Jim Stinson, Ben Rhodes, an architect of the disastrous Iran deal, tweeted a very ill-advised comment about Republican leaders’ deaths. A former aide to President Barack Obama said he hoped to see a particular picture next to the obituaries for Vice President Mike Pence, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch
Victor Davis Hanson, Almost every supposedly informed prediction about President Donald Trump’s compulsive Twitter addiction has so far proved wrong.

After Charlottesville, the Left sees its chance to
Lloyd Billingsley, “Interesting to watch Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut talking about hoax Russian collusion when he was a phony Vietnam con artist!” President Trump recently tweeted. “Mr. President,” Blumenthal tweeted back, “Your bullying hasn’t worked before and it won’t work now. No one is above the law.” The Connecticut Democrat also told reporters he
Kurt Schlichter, If the hyperventilating faux outrage over Donald Trump’s tweets about that pair of home-wrecking nobodies on MSNBC was actually presented in good faith, it would be merely be stupid.

Jeff Crouere, The more the media and the establishment politicians scream about the President’s tweets, the more obvious it becomes that he should keep tweeting. President Trump has over 33 million followers on Twitter and his tweets are a terrific way to connect with his supporters without the filter of the liberal media. This week
A 30-year-old Pakistani man has been sentenced to death by a counterterrorism court, following the conviction on charges he insulted the Prophet Muhammed and his wives on Facebook, officials said Sunday.

On August 15th, 2016 Gab launched into invite-only beta testing. This would begin our nine month journey to building a community unlike any other on the internet.

Family members of three victims of the December 2015 shooting rampage in San Bernardino, California, have sued Facebook, Google and Twitter, claiming that the companies permitted Islamic State to flourish on social media. The relatives assert that by allowing Islamic State militants to spread propaganda freely on social media, the three companies provided “material support”
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, The murder of an innocent man in Cleveland shown on Facebook by the perpetrator is but the latest distressing outrage exposing the horrific flipside of social media. Apparently, the grisly implications of the monstrous deed — including, G-d forbid copycat crimes, has led Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg to announce a review of
Scott Greer | Daily Caller, The hashtag #FireKushner became the top trending topic on Twitter Friday night, thanks to outraged Donald Trump supporters who blamed Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and top adviser, for the decision to strike Syria.
