The First Amendment is clear. “Congress shall make no law bridging the freedom of speech or of the press.” The US government does not think it pertains to them. They have been funding a particularly nasty actor – NewsGuard – to damage the free speech of conservatives.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said her top rival‚ former President Donald Trump‚ is “fit” to serve again but isn’t the “right” person for the job at this time. Haley‚ a former South Carolina governor who served as Trump’s United Nations ambassador‚ sought to strike a balance when talking about her former boss during a recent interview with ABC News that will be broadcast on Monday. “It’s not about fitness. I think he’s fit to be president. It’s ‘Should he be president?’ I don’t think he should be president. I thought he was the right president at the right time‚” Haley said. “We’ve got to look at the issues that we’re dealing with‚ coming forward with new solutions‚ not focusing on negativity and baggage of the past‚” Haley added. “So it’s not about being fit. It’s just I don’t think he’s the right person to be president.” Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie tackled the same question during the fourth GOP presidential debate last week‚ claiming the other participants — including Haley — were “afraid to offend” Trump. Trump later fired back‚ saying Christie is “not fit” to run for the presidency. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP ABC News noted that Trump has also been critical of Haley for how she has broken with him at times and voiced support for him at other junctures. “Well‚ every time she criticizes me‚ she uncriticizes me about 15 minutes later‚” Trump told Vanity Fair in 2021. “I guess she gets the base.” Haley‚ who is virtually tied with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for second place behind Trump in polling‚ contended that her views have nothing to do with loyalty but rather her honest opinions. “You know‚ anti-Trumpers don’t think I hate him enough and pro-Trumpers don’t think I love him enough. I call it like I see it‚” she said. “I’m not going to be 100% with him. I’m not going to be 100% against him. It’s not personal for me. This is about what’s right for the country‚” Haley added. “This is about how we’re going to lead. This is about the direction we should go. It’s not about the personal thoughts of an individual. It’s about the fact that we have a country to save.”

Democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said during an interview over the weekend that Israel couldn’t have a “permanent ceasefire” with Hamas because Hamas is a genocidal terrorist group that is committed to “a permanent war” against Israel. Sanders made the remarks when asked by CBS News host Margaret Brennan during a Sunday interview on “Face The Nation” about far-Left members of the House of Representatives who are pushing for a permanent ceasefire. “So progressives like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez‚ Rashida Tlaib have been clear and calling for a ceasefire‚” Brennan said. “You’ve taken some flack because you have not. The United States government is opposing a ceasefire as well‚ and they’re isolated at the (United Nations) on that point.” “Why is it you oppose a ceasefire?” she asked. Sanders responded by saying that he supports “a humanitarian pause” that “would have‚ by the way‚ called for the release of all of the hostages held by Hamas” in exchange for allowing the “U.N. and other agencies to begin to supply the enormous amount of humanitarian aid that the Palestinians need.” “In terms of a permanent ceasefire‚ I don’t know how you could have a permanent ceasefire with Hamas who had said before October 7‚ and after October 7‚ that they want to destroy Israel‚” he said. “They want a permanent war. I don’t know how you have a permanent ceasefire with an attitude like that.” “I think Israel has the right to defend itself and go after Hamas‚” he added. Bernie Sanders on Face The Nation: “I don’t know how you can have a permanent ceasefire with Hamas who has said before October 7 and after October 7 that they want to destroy Israel and they want a permanent war.

Every November‚ Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary announces a Word of the Year. This is determined by what word is the most searched on their website. The process for choosing this word seems authentic‚ but Kraft Mayo announced their plan to “hack” the system so that one word in particular would win. The word they want chosen? Moist. In order to get enough folks to search “moist” on Merriam-Webster’s website‚ they needed to think outside of the “jar”‚ something they very much did based on what they pulled off on November 6. On this day‚ Kraft delivered a giant mayo jar to the dictionary company’s headquarters in Springfield‚ Massachusetts. Instagram Standing at a reported 8 ft. tall and weighing roughly 2‚023 pounds‚ this giant jar was sure to garner Kraft and‚ subsequently‚ the word moist some much needed attention. “For years‚ we’ve watched ‘moist’ be degraded by the internet… the media deeming it ‘universally’ hated‚” the massive jar of mayo read. “We won’t let this slander go on any longer! Our mayo is indisputable evidence that moist is a great word‚ and that every meal is better moist!” Instagram Kraft even created a page on their website dedicated to making it possible for folks to search “moist” on Merriam-Webster’s website with a single click. Despite their efforts‚ the Word of the Year for 2023 was announced on November 27‚ and it was not moist — authentic took home the coveted award instead. At of the writing of this article‚ Kraft has yet to make a comment. Though‚ I have a feeling they’re rather disappointed. Instagram Still‚ Kraft tried their best. And as odd as this attempt was‚ I think it’s safe to say they remained authentic to who they are — and for that‚ I admire them. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
