Hey, John...one more example of free speech not being free.

Two very public social media platforms, called FB and Twitter, will block/delete conservative posts and ban the authors of those posts. sometimes it's shadow banning so that the author sees it but no one else does. This has happened time and time again as they try to sway the results of the last, and this, election. this is not an unknown thing. Very shrewd businessmen They are. They are literally in the tank for the Democrat candidates...the same ones that want to raise their taxes and make them pay their fair share. Kind of makes me think that they know their taxes are not going to be going up.

Now, these are "social media" platforms but they direct the free speech that is spoken there. Walk in lock step with the left of center or your voice is removed. When Trump Jr was being questioned about his meeting with a Russian lawyer, it was stories galore because anything goes when bashing the "orange man." Now, go look and see how many stories you can find on there about Hunter Biden on FB that cast a shadow on his getting paid millions of dollars to sit on company boards where he has no experience of expertise . Crickets chirping in the background. Try it yourself. Go on FB or Twitter and start some threads right of center on that subject. You will most likely be blocked and have your free speech, paid for by the blood by our military if you believe that, silenced.

John, I am neither Democrat or Republican. I see the faults on both sides of the political fence and there are major flaws on both sides. American politics is the biggest reality show out there and the people suffer for it. You and I suffer for it. These people get into politics with no money. They get "donations" to their foundations and they control how it is spent and, then, legislation just happens to happen that somehow benefits the original doner. It happens every day. The amounts involved are staggering. Our government is a very wicked place whichever side of the fence one favors. Free speech? Not too often.

Still, enjoyed talking with you and really value your opinion if you would care to give it. I promise to just be a listener. Talked too much for most people to have to hear anyway. Take care, brother, and have a good one. And.....GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!
