Another Facebook Post-Whistleblower Interview Goes Horribly Wrong
Continuing to track the fallout from the Facebook whistleblower, Frances Haugen’s revelations on 60 Minutes earlier this week, another Facebook spokesperson failed to substantively address the content of the leaked documents.
As you see in this interview with CNN, Monika Bickert, Facebook’s Vice President for Content Policy, says many words but fails to communicate much of value. Are you suprised at how unprepared Facebook representatives appear, or is it simply that they do not have the facts on their side?
Lindsey Graham BRUTALLY Booed for Suggesting Vaccine
Republican Senator from South Carolina Lindsey Graham received the Donald Trump treatment when he mildly suggested people “look into” getting the COVID-19 vaccine during an event in South Carolina. Graham was brutally booed, and the more he tried to clean up the mess, the more the crowd booed.
The same happened to former President Donald Trump not long ago when he suggested getting the vaccine at a rally. This was followed by similar boos from the crowd.

HORROR: Kids Might Grow Up Thinking School Lunch is Free
Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum bemoaned a school lunch program in New Jersey, saying kids could grow up thinking lunch is actually free. She told Larry Kudlow, “it’s for everyone, even if you don’t need help to send your child’s lunch to school. So those kids are all going to grow up thinking that school lunch is free and god help the person who comes along and tries to take that away.” Kudlow responded by saying, “most common sense Americans know this is not right.” What’s crazy about this commentary is that attending public schools for these children is already free. All this program in New Jersey is doing is adding the free lunch to the tune of a few dollars per student per day and all of a sudden it’s a massive problem. Students understand already that nothing they’re provided literally comes in for free and that it’s paid for by their parents and the rest of the community who pay property taxes. If these taxes are already paying for the facilities, teachers, and the rest of the staff why would it be so dangerous for students to learn it’s also paying for lunch? This Fox News commentary is the worst of the “strict father morality” that we often see from conservatives.
