Americans fed up with the federal government’s censorship scheme may soon be able to file civil lawsuits against the bureaucrats stifling their free speech online, a newly introduced bill stipulates. The bill, named the Standing to Challenge Government Censorship Act, would prohibit federal workers and contractors from using their positions to instruct Big Tech platforms to censor constitutionally protected speech online. Bureaucrats who break the law would face civil lawsuits from affected Americans. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Reps. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) and Dan Bishop (R-NC) introduced the bill on Wednesday in response to the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in Murthy v. Missouri. The Court ruled that the pro-free speech plaintiffs did not have standing to sue the federal government over its censorship collusion with Big Tech.  The court ruled that the states of Missouri and Louisiana and other plaintiffs did not sufficiently prove that government-Big Tech collusion posed ongoing harm that the court should halt. However, it did not exclude opportunities for Americans to sue the government for damages caused by Big Tech censorship. This legislation would provide a pathway for victims of Big Tech censorship to do that. Media Research Center President Brent Bozell hailed the proposed fix as a “no-brainer” in a joint statement with Republican lawmakers. “Let the people sue government officials who are working on the taxpayer dime to censor everyday Americans. Senator Paul is valiantly defending our Constitutional free speech rights,” Bozell said. Echoing Bozell’s remarks, Paul highlighted the Framer’s recognition of the First Amendment’s importance.  “Our Founding Fathers enshrined the First Amendment to protect our God-given right to free expression, recognizing its fundamental importance to a free society,” Paul said.  The senator stated that the bill would “strip away the barriers preventing judicial review of coercive government tactics that silence dissenting voices.” Hageman, a staunch free speech defender, said that the government “cannot do by proxy what it is prohibited from doing directly,” adding, “This is exactly what happened with the Biden Administration pressuring social media companies to suppress the free speech of American citizens.”  Concluding, Bishop stated, “Malicious actors within government should never be allowed to silence and censor Americans, and Americans targeted by the Censorship Industrial Complex deserve their day in court. This legislation will ensure just that by removing barriers for judicial review and cracking down on those who aim to trample on the First Amendment.” Other organizations endorsing the legislation include the Institute for Free Speech, Heritage Action, Frontiers of Freedom Institute, Americans for Limited Government, Ginn Economic Consulting, Consumer Choice Center, American Commitment, NetChoice and America Matters. Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on so-called hate speech and equal footing for conservatives.

Donald Trump stopped by the National Association of Black Journalists’ convention in Chicago on Thursday for a lively on-stage interview that saw him label ABC “fake news” and get into arguments with moderators over Kamala Harris, JD Vance, and abortion. ABC’s Rachel Scott did most of the questioning, and she led off by recalling, “You have told four congresswoman of color who, are American citizens, to go back to where they came from. You have used words like 'animal' and 'rabbid' to describe black attorneys. You attack black journalists, calling them 'a loser' saying the questions that they asked are, quote, “stupid and racist.” You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort. So, my question, sir, now that you were asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that?” Trump replied, “Well, of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question so—in such a horrible manner. First question, you don't even say, ‘Hello, how are you?’ Are you with ABC? Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network." He would go on to hype his record on things such as opportunity zones and education.   Scott: "is that acceptable language (DEI Hire) to you and will you tell those Republicans and those supporters to stop it? Trump: How do you define DEI? Go ahead. How do you define it? Scott: Diversity, equity, and inclusion. pic.twitter.com/GlZlxgvoa4 — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) July 31, 2024   It is also true that Trump calls just about everybody “stupid” or "loser.” Later, Scott tried to get Trump to denounce other Republicans as racist, “Some of your own supporters, including Republicans on Capitol Hill, have labeled Vice President Kamala Harris, who was the first black and Asian American woman to serve as vice president, be on a major party ticket as a DEI hire. Is that acceptable to you? And will you tell those Republicans and those supporters to stop it?” Trump turned the tables on Scott, “How do you define DEI?” Scott could only get tautological, “Diversity, equity, and inclusion.” That’s like trying to determine whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich by claiming the definition of a sandwich is a sandwich. Scott, however, was just getting started. She also wondered about Vance’s childless cat lady comments, “Did you know that he had these views about people who do not have children before you picked to be your running mate and do you agree with him?” Trump, naturally, defended Vance, “He is very family oriented and he thinks families are a great thing. That doesn't mean he thinks that if you don't have a family, it’s not—I know people with families. I know people with great families. I know people with very troubled families, and I also know people with no families. They didn't meet the right person. Things happen. You go through life. You don't meet the right person—” Later still, Semafour’s Kadia Goba turned to abortion, “Do you think the party, the Republican Party's getting a little bit too judgy about people's lives when you think about abortion or when you think about what J.D. Vance is saying?”   Semafour's Kadia Goba: Do you think the party, the Republican party's getting a little bit too judgy about people's lives when you think about abortion...? Trump: I don't think, look, I think that the Democrat Party is really the one that has the problem. pic.twitter.com/3Ym0pPFOnB — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) July 31, 2024   Trump, again, turned the tables, “I think that the Democrat Party is really the one that has the problem. I think they're radical on abortion, because they are allowing abortion in the ninth month—” Goba interrupted, “But, I think it’s about freedom, right?” More crosstalk followed with Trump accusing Democrats of believing that abortion should be legal in the eighth and ninth months, as well as after birth, citing former Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam as evidence with Scott and Goba claiming that wasn’t true. Putting the “after birth” part aside, Goba tried to defend Democrats on late-term abortions, “Well, Democrats have denied—” In reality, several states allow late-term abortions, but Scott and Goba did not set out to interview Trump so much as they tried to get applause from their colleagues, and on the front, they succeeded.   This. https://t.co/Phfsyl8lpa — Abby D.

Nearly 100 years ago, the Ku Klux Klan stormed my great-grandfather’s home in Kentucky, dragged him out of his house, beat him, and carried him to a lynching tree. My grandmother, Lovie Kennedy, witnessed the assault. A small child, she screamed and wept uncontrollably. Her daddy was being executed right before her eyes. Sheryl Swoopes can’t forgive Caitlin Clark for being a white star in a league and sport dominated by black lesbians. Unbeknownst to her and the executioners, her father was a freemason. Standing at the tree, with a noose being prepared for his neck, my great-grandfather made some sort of hand or posture gesture that could only be understood by a fellow mason. Luckily for him, one of the Klansmen was a mason and objected to his killing. His life spared, my great-grandfather and his family fled Kentucky for Indianapolis. For years, my grandmother had an intense fear and hatred of white people. According to her frequent retelling of the story, the fear and hatred fled her mind and soul the moment she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.Everyone called her Mama Lovie. The last five decades of her life, she emoted love and positive energy. She dedicated her life to spreading the good news in the gospels, serving the 25th Street Baptist Church, and making sure her grandkids had a relationship with Jesus Christ. I think about Mama Lovie frequently. She passed away 25 years ago. In her final years, she suffered Alzheimer’s disease. Eventually, the only words she could speak coherently were Scripture. She could recite her favorite verses — and she had hundreds — verbatim and where they appeared in the Bible. No one has had more influence on my life than Mama Lovie. Her memory is a blessing and a curse for me. It’s a reminder of the way things were, the way black women used to represent themselves and define their identity by their faith rather than their politics. I thought about Mama Lovie this morning when I reflected on basketball legend Sheryl Swoopes’ intense animus toward WNBA star Caitlin Clark. Earlier this year, when Clark was shattering college basketball records at the University of Iowa, Swoopes trashed Clark as an overhyped gimmick. She claimed Clark was 25, played five or six seasons at Iowa, and shot the ball 40 times per game. It was all bad information.When questioned whether her comments were motivated by bigotry, Swoopes claimed, “Black people can’t be racist,” and that she has white friends. And now, this week, with the WNBA on a month-long Olympics hiatus, Swoopes has returned to her Caitlin Clark bashing. Clark is the overwhelming favorite to win WNBA Rookie of the Year. She remains the biggest star in all of American sports. On her “Queens of the Court” podcast, Swoopes championed Angel Reese as WNBA Rookie of the Year, stated that Clark’s Indiana Fever would make the playoffs without her, and insinuated that a Fever role player was actually more valuable than Clark. Sheryl Swoopes hates Caitlin Clark. Swoopes is using her racial jealousy and Clark’s clout to elevate herself. It’s textbook bigot behavior. She is masking feelings of inferiority with bigotry. The widely repeated trope that “black people can’t be racist because black people lack power” is laughable. The truth is many black people believe their bigotry is justified and acceptable given America’s history. They don’t believe in forgiveness, a tenet of Christianity. Jesus forgave the very people who crucified him. My grandmother, a follower of Christ, forgave the people who attempted to lynch her father. Sheryl Swoopes can’t forgive Caitlin Clark for being a white star in a league and sport dominated by black lesbians. Black women have abandoned traditional Christianity, and black men have followed them. Too many Americans, black and white, have replaced Christianity with the “Black Girl Tragic” religion. They worship delusional, angry black women. You can see it in all walks of life. Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris converted to the faith 40 years ago when she enrolled at Howard University, a historically black college, and joined the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. She eschewed her Indian and Jamaican heritage to adopt a black identity.It’s all lunacy destroying the foundation of American ideals. The Black Girl Tragic religion avoids common sense, fairness, and facts. It rationalizes illogic and rewards emotion. It twerks, gyrates, and ignores negative outcomes. It baits men into thinking and acting like women. It believes words are as damaging as sticks and stones. Sixty years ago, politician Daniel Patrick Moynihan urged President Lyndon Johnson and America to invest in empowering the black man and supporting the black nuclear family. Mainstream media and black elites framed the “Moynihan Report” as racist. Johnson pivoted to the Great Society and empowered the single black woman. These decisions undermined traditional Christian male leaders and produced this new religion — Black Girl Tragic. It’s a cult that rejects Jesus and will choose death over deprogramming.

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk accepted a challenge to a fight from Nicolás Maduro after the Venezuelan socialist president accused him of trying to invade his country with rockets. 'Let's do it. Elon Musk, I'm ready. I’m not afraid of you.' Maduro appeared to be incensed that Musk had been calling on him to accept that he lost the recent presidential election after the socialist declared victory. "Social media creates a virtual reality, and who controls the virtual reality? Our new archenemy, the famous Elon Musk," Maduro said to supporters. "Do you want to fight? Let's do it. Elon Musk, I'm ready. I’m not afraid of you, Elon Musk. Let's fight, wherever you want."Musk has been demanding that Maduro accept the results of the election in Venezuela after media reports and independent vote tallies say the opposition candidate received massive support and had likely beaten the socialist president. Maduro claimed victory without releasing the precinct-by-precinct counts that would have confirmed the results. Musk responded in Spanish, saying, "El burro sabe mas que Maduro," which means "the donkey knows more than Maduro."He followed up by saying, "The people of Venezuela have had enough of this clown." Musk also accepted the challenge to a fight but added, "He will chicken out." Others have derided Maduro for declaring victory in the heavily contested election. U.S. State Department Secretary Antony Blinken issued a statement suggesting the election outcome was not correct."We have serious concerns that the result announced does not reflect the will or the votes of the Venezuelan people," he said. Argentinian President Javier Milei reacted to the election by calling Maduro a "sociopath" and a "dictator." Other world leaders lambasted the socialist and cast doubt on his victory. In Aurora, Colorado, a mob of thousands of immigrants from Venezuela took over a parking lot at a mall on account of the election and fired gunshots in the air while leaving garbage in their wake. The city's mayor demanded an apology from the leaders of the Venezuelan community and received one from SOS Venezuela Denver, a local activist group. Like Blaze News?
