Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) warned this week that past remarks from Vice President Kamala Harris indicate that she would be a serious threat to America’s First Amendment rights if elected as president. Cruz made the remarks during his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while talking about video clips that have recently gone viral that highlight remarks from Harris’ 2019 presidential campaign where she advocated clamping down on free speech by going after social media companies for not censoring content. “Kamala has a long, long history of calling for censorship, calling for silencing anyone who disagrees with her, of wanting to use government power to silence her critics,” Cruz said. “If Kamala Harris becomes president, I predict now she will try to muzzle X. She will try to ban X. She wants to follow Brazil’s path and ban X. She wants to use government power to go after big tech and force them to be her censors.” Cruz said that Harris shows more disdain for the First Amendment than any other presidential candidate in more than two centuries. “The last time we had a presidential candidate with this antipathy was John Adams, our second president, who had enforced the Alien and Sedition Acts and used them to persecute his political opponents,” he said. “It’s been two centuries since that has happened since then, and Kamala Harris displays an unprecedented willingness to use government power to silence you.” He noted that Harris believes that free speech is “merely a privilege and a privilege that she, as the dictator, can revoke if you dare disagree with her.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

It is a right protected in the Bill of Rights.” Kamala Harris pledged to weaponize the DOJ even more and use it to attack platforms for free speech like X. Free speech is on the ballot this election. The only way to save free speech is to defeat Kamala Harris.https://t.co/vx6VDxPgIA pic.twitter.com/B19HTHYSzr — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 7, 2024

Having a pet is something many people love. And while we typically see things like dogs, cats, maybe a bird, fish, or even a hamster, there are more exotic varieties. Kansas City Chiefs Rookie running back Carson Steele shared that he is the proud owner of an alligator named Crocky J. View this post on Instagram A post shared by NFL (@nfl) Carson Steele’s Pet Alligator Is “Steeling” The Show Carson Steele told KCTV he’s already earned some nicknames from the team. “The favorite one I’d say is ‘Crocodile’ because of my pet alligator,” Carson said. Crocky J. was a gift from his dad when he was a kid. “I got him second or third grade probably as a Christmas present,” he explained. “So I’ve had him a little while now. He’s in a big aquarium back home.” Carson told the Los Angeles Times he wanted something fun for Christmas and thought his dad would get him a bearded dragon or maybe a lizard. Instead, he ordered Crocky J. from a gator farm in Florida. The UPS driver who delivered Crocky J. figured something interesting might be inside the burlap sack he delivered, so he stuck around to see. “Everybody was kind of freaking out,” Joseph Steele told the newspaper. “It was a pretty interesting morning.” “We’ll flip on the shower and kind of spray him down and scrape him off and stuff, his back,” Carson told the Times. “Because sometimes he’ll get algae on his back, so he loves it, he’ll just sit there.” A fan shared on X, “I can’t stop thinking about Carson Steele owning an alligator named Crocky-J. The NFL is so back.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here. The post Chiefs Fans “Can’t Stop Thinking About” Carson Steele’s Peculiar Pet appeared first on InspireMore.
