White House teams up with TikTok influencers to help tout record on social media

Joe Biden is reportedly enlisting the help of hundred of influencers on TikTok and other social media platforms to help increase his standing among young voters.

Biden's team is also reportedly considering giving the influencers their own briefing room at the White House.

"We're trying to reach young people, but also moms who use different platforms to get information and climate activists and people whose main way of getting information is digital," said Jen O'Malley Dillon, White House deputy chief of staff.

What a way to get into already unstable young minds.

🇬🇧🦕 Just stop oil activists again tried to vandalize an exhibit in a museum

Two protesters were tackled as they entered the 'Dippy the Dinosaur' display at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum in Coventry.

Footage posted by the protest group shows Daniel Knorr, 21, and Victoria Lindsell, 67, climb over a low metal barrier before being tackled to the ground by staff.

The pair were subsequently led away in handcuffs by West Midlands Police officers.

It is understood they were intending to spray paint the dinosaur exhibit before being thwarted by security.

This is a tutorial on how to live and be absolutely useless to the society.

🇺🇦 Seymour Hersh drops new intel on war in Ukraine

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh shared new intel on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Main ideas from his new Substack release:

▪️Zelensky and his entourage illegally embezzled at least $400 million from funds transferred to Ukraine for the purchase of diesel. The diesel that ended up being purchased was most likely supplied from Russia at a discounted price.

▪️multiple Ukrainian government ministries are “competing,” to set up front companies for export contracts for weapons and ammunition with private arms dealers around the world.

▪️U.S. curators are frustrated with the corruption in Ukraine. CIA Director William Burns presented Zelensky with a list of 35 generals and senior officials who, according to the CIA, were involved in corruption schemes.

▪️U.S. military is preparing a draft agreement to end the conflict in Ukraine, which will be offered to Russia "in case of defeat."

Major media prefer not to cover Seymour Hersh's investigations, despite his expertise, reputation and wide network of sources in government and business.

🔺🔺🔺
It's been some time since classified U.S. intelligence documents were leaked. Now, some sources are questioning their authenticity.

Indeed, it is suspicious that such important classified documents could circulate on the Internet so easily after being leaked.

Now it seems that every media outlet has an opinion on what these documents could mean for the ongoing war in Ukraine, for U.S. relations with China. No one is trying to hush it up.

I don't have the expertise to determine whether the numbers add up. But I realize that if the U.S. government encourages discussion, there must be some benefit to it.

Donald Trump is suing his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen just over a week after the former president was arraigned on 34 felony charges related to payments Cohen made to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.

Trump is suing Cohen for more than $500 million in damages. In the lawsuit, Trump’s lawyers claim Michael Cohen breached the terms of a confidentiality agreement he agreed to while working for Trump, saying he did so “with malicious intent and to wholly self-serving ends.”

🍿PR campaign slowly turning into drama.

🚫🇺🇸Montana moves to fully ban TikTok over national security concerns

Lawmakers in Montana have moved to completely ban TikTok from the state. The bill passed the Republican-controlled state House on Friday.

It now needs to be signed by Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte, who has not indicated yet whether he intends to do so. If signed, starting January 1, 2024, Montana users will no longer be able to download the app.

The reason for the ban is because TikTok “gathers significant information from its users, accessing data against their will to share with the People’s Republic of China” and “fails to remove, and may even promote, dangerous content that directs minors to engage in dangerous activities,” the bill states.

Elon Musk had some fun trolling Canadian media

Canadian media outlet CBC recently announced it will temporarily stop posting on the platform, after Twitter assigned a "government-funded media" label to the CBC profile.

This move by Twitter has sparked discontent, voiced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, among others. He said the label was not fair, as only about 70% of it was funded by the government.

Musk then tweeted: "Just trying to be accurate. Would they be ok if we said 70% govt funded?" and updated the label to "70% government-funded media."

A Twitter account then suggested that perhaps the label should be 69 percent to "give them the benefit of the doubt," and Musk wasted no time. "Good point, generosity is always the right move. 69% it is!" he responded and proceeded to correct the label.

Well, who could have known Musk was the biggest troll ever 😅

🇺🇸Zero democrats vote for House bill to protect women’s sports

The House of Representatives passed legislation on Thursday to protect women’s sports leagues by banning male athletes who identify as females from competing.

All affirmative 219 votes came from Republicans, while all 203 Democrats votes against the legislation.

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023 would amend Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to prevent a "person whose sex is male to participate in an athletic program or activity that is designated for women or girls."

Society is becoming more polarized than ever. Somehow not a single Democrat supports what should be common sense.

🇩🇰Denmark presents a statue of a nursing man

The Women's Museum in the Danish town of Aarhus was recenly renamed to be the Gender Museum.

A statue of a nursing man was created to honor this event. The man breastfeeding his child symbolizes "the hybrid of masculine and feminine in today's society," the author claims.

This is the erasure of women every conservative is talking about. I’d pass on such art.
