    Bidenโ€™s DHS Misinforms Congress About its Orwellian โ€˜Disinformationโ€™ Board

    ANALYSIS โ€“ As Republican senators try to conduct oversight over, and gain insight into, the outrageous, and supposedly now defunct, โ€˜Disinformation Governance Boardโ€™ at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Team Biden is blocking the senators at every step.

    The board was dismantled under pressure in August following the recommendation of the Homeland Security Advisory Council. 

    However, many are concerned that DHS will continue with its dangerously un-American efforts under a different name.

    And now they are clearly afraid of what nefarious collusion with Big Tech the senators might uncover. 

    So, as always, covering up is the next step when faced with hard questions and the great disinfectant called sunlight.

    In this case, Team Biden is censoring its own documents which may describe its actions โ€˜proddingโ€™ social media companies to censor conservative Americans under the guise of controlling โ€˜disinformation.โ€™

    Bidenโ€™s DHS essentially ‘misinformed’ Congress by totally redacting (censoring) large portions of documents requested by Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Josh Hawley of Missouri back in June.

    These documents mostly related to the โ€˜Truth Boardโ€™sโ€™ cozy relationship with social media platforms.

    This issue is particularly critical now in light of recent revelations of collusion between the FBI and these same platforms, and the obscene partisan censorship done at Twitter in apparent coordination with the White House, as revealed by Elon Musk.

    In a letter sent Thursday to embattled DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Grassley and Hawley said the Department of Homeland Security heavily redacted documents they had requested six months ago.

    The letter read: 

    Based on our review of this material, it appears that many of the redactions are applied to pre-decisional and deliberative process material. We remind you that the oversight letters we send to the Executive Branch are signed in our capacity as sitting members of Congress, a separate and co-equal branch of government.

    Newsmax reported:

    Grassley and Hawley then said they would formally renew their requests to the department, as it is still “impossible to know the full extent to which various DHS components and offices are engaged in DHS’s ‘burgeoning’ counter-disinformation efforts.”

    “Please provide full and complete responses to all questions contained in our June 7, 2022, letter,” the two wrote, adding that they would also like “a detailed description of DHS’s policy for responding to congressional oversight requests.”

    The letter comes months after the White House canned the project due to substantial backlash, officially citing a recommendation from the Homeland Security Advisory Council, according to a press release.

    “With the HSAC recommendations as a guide, the Department will continue to address threat streams that undermine the security of our country consistent with the law while upholding the privacy, civil rights and civil liberties of the American people and promoting transparency in our work,” the statement read.

    Letโ€™s hope that these senators will soon get the unredacted documents, so we can all learn what was really going on inside Bidenโ€™s dark attempt to create its own Orwellian โ€˜Ministry of Truth.โ€™ย

    Is Musk Creating an Alternative Right Media Ecosphere?

    ANALYSIS โ€“ย Most conservatives and even some liberalย free speechย advocates applaudedย Elon Muskโ€™s takeover ofย Twitter, a Big Tech hotbed of leftist narratives and anti-conservativeย censorship.

    Many leftists, outraged that they could no longer simply cancel opposing conservative views, squealed and threatened to leave Twitter.

    Of course, they made their threats on Twitter, then waited on Twitter to see the reactions on Twitter.

    However, since his tumultuous takeover, Musk has worried some supporters by apparently quickly engaging in the same capricious censorship he so strongly decried.

    Going after critics, including the college kid who tracks his plane using publicly available open-source information.

    Most recently Musk put his Twitter CEO-ship on the line by asking Twitter users to vote online about whether he should remain โ€˜Chief Twit.โ€™

    Not surprisingly, considering residual leftism left at Twitter, Musk lost that poll and may soon step down and appoint someone else to run the Twitter show.

    Still, despite the turmoil and concerns brought on by Muskโ€™s Twitter takeover, many see this dramatic move as an even more dramatic shift in theย media ecosphere.

    A momentous move to the right and against the dominant liberal media megaphone.

    Axios writes: โ€œElon Musk and allies are building a new anti-left media ecosystem almost overnight.โ€

    It continues:

    Why it matters: Itโ€™s as if the New York Times editorial page suddenly flipped to the right.

    With the reins in Muskโ€™s hands, the right is gaining power in online spaces the left once dominated, Axiosโ€™ Erica Pandey reports.

    Axios adds: โ€œLook whoโ€™s driving the news on Twitterโ€ฆโ€

    And notes:

    Anti-mainstream-media journalists โ€” like Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi โ€” are driving the narrative, getting the clicks and earning new followers on Muskโ€™s Twitter. Theyโ€™re thriving in an environment where alternative, anti-left and anti-establishment media has taken center stage.

    To the folks at Axios, โ€œMuskโ€™s moves at Twitter are part of a larger โ€” growing โ€” anti-left, alternative media ecosystem.โ€

    To buttress their case, they point to Joe Roganโ€™s populist podcast, which has a heavily conservative fan base and was the most listened-to show of the second half of 2022, according to Edison Research.

    Not to be outdone, Axios notes, Ben Shapiroโ€™s more intellectual conservative podcast is now No. 7 โ€” and rising.

    As a conservative, I can only hope this is the beginning of a major shift from the leftist-dominated media landscape to a far more balanced one where conservative points of view are given the respect they deserve.

    Letโ€™s see where this all leads as we head into the 2024 election.

    President Trumpโ€™s Memorial Day Messages: A Legacy of Honor and Respect

    This Memorial Day, as we gather with family, fire up the grill, or visit our local cemeteries and memorials, it’s worth remembering the leaders who never lost sight of the true meaning behind the day. President Donald J. Trump has always placed Americaโ€™s fallen heroes at the center of his message, offering powerful words and sincere gestures that reflect deep respect for our military and their families.

    Throughout his presidency, President Trump used Memorial Day not for politicsโ€”but for patriotism. Year after year, he stood before veterans, Gold Star families, and active-duty troops with one purpose: to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for this nation.

    Hereโ€™s a look back at some of his most moving Memorial Day tributes:

    2017 โ€“ Arlington National Cemetery

    President Trump delivered his first Memorial Day address at Arlington National Cemetery, laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and offering a solemn promise:

    โ€œWords cannot measure the depth of their devotion, the purity of their love, or the totality of their courage.โ€

    It was a speech that reminded the countryโ€”and the worldโ€”that America remembers.

    2018 โ€“ Arlington Again, and a Call for Prayer

    Returning to Arlington in 2018, President Trump spoke of sacred ground and permanent peace:

    โ€œWe are gathered here on the sacred soil of Arlington National Cemetery to honor the lives and deeds of Americaโ€™s greatest heroes.โ€

    That year, he issued a proclamation declaring Memorial Day a Day of Prayer for Permanent Peace, calling on Americans to pause at 11:00 a.m. for a national moment of prayer.

    2019 โ€“ Speaking from the USS Wasp in Japan

    While abroad visiting troops, President Trump addressed sailors aboard the USS Wasp in Yokosuka, Japan:

    โ€œToday, the unbreakable resolve of our great American heroes is inspiring our nation to achieve new heights.โ€

    Even halfway around the world, the president made sure Memorial Day was observed with honor, reflection, and gratitude.

    2020 โ€“ Fort McHenry Amid Crisis

    During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, while others canceled public observances, President Trump stood tall at Fort McHenry in Baltimore, honoring the brave and the fallen:

    โ€œWe remember the young Americans who never got the chance to grow old, but whose legacy will outlive us all.โ€

    He reminded us that even in times of hardship, we must continue to honor the past and those who gave everything for our freedom.

    A President Who Never Forgot

    In every one of these speeches, President Trump put Americaโ€™s heroes firstโ€”not soundbites, not political spin. His words carried the weight of gratitude and the clarity of purpose. Whether in Arlington, Baltimore, or aboard a Navy vessel, he stood firm in his belief that our nation owes eternal respect to those who served and sacrificed.

    This Memorial Day, letโ€™s take a moment to reflectโ€”not only on the brave men and women who gave their livesโ€”but also on the kind of leadership that never forgets them.

    President Trump didnโ€™t just speak about honoring our military. He lived it. And millions of Americans still remember.

    Like the FBI, Politicized DHS Running โ€˜Shadyโ€™ (Likely Illegal) Domestic Intelligence Program

    By

    ANALYSIS โ€“ It isnโ€™t news that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proven to be vulnerable to political pressure. Just look at the threat assessments produced in 2020 that single out โ€˜white supremacistsโ€™ as the โ€˜most lethal domestic terror threatโ€™ in the U.S., despite their numbers being minuscule.

    According to that report, self-described โ€˜white supremacistsโ€™ were responsible for 49 homicides in 26 attacks spread across more than a decade and a half – from 2000 to 2016.

    Yes, thatโ€™s more murders than any other specific domestic extremist group but letโ€™s get real. 

    There are more murders in Chicago in one weekend than the entire number of white supremacist killings nationwide in those sixteen years.

    This DHS report, though produced under the last year of Trumpโ€™s term, like many others recently by different federal agencies, like the FBI, is part of a wider political campaign that conflates the relatively small numberย of white supremacists, and other so-called right-wing extremists, with the tens of millions of mainstream conservatives and Trump supporters.

    And we can now add traditional Catholics to the fedsโ€™ “most wanted” list.

    The FBI recently produced a memo by its Richmond, Virginia, Field Office that was leaked on Jan. 23, 2023. 

    That memo, according to a group of 20 GOP state attorney generals, “identifies ‘radical-traditionalist Catholic[s]โ€™ as potential โ€˜racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.โ€™”

    In their letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Fox News reported, the AGs told the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) to “desist from investigating and surveilling Americans who have done nothing more than exercise their natural and constitutional right to practice their religion in a manner of their choosing.” 

    The AGS also asked that the DOJ and the FBI “reveal to the American public the extent to which they have engaged in such activities.”

    The AGs letter notes that the FBI memorandum deploys “alarmingly detailed theological distinctions to distinguish between the Catholics whom the FBI deems acceptable, and those it does not.”

    It’s in this context of politicized and weaponized federal law enforcement agencies, that this latest report of DHS malfeasance deserves special attention.

    Specifically, we are talking about the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis (OIA), whose leadership, according to Politico, was called โ€œshadyโ€ and run โ€œlike a corrupt government.โ€ 

    For years it has been operating a secretive domestic-intelligence gathering program that many DHS employees have complained may be illegal.

    The OIAโ€™s Overt Human Intelligence Collection Program allows DHS officials to bypass lawyers and seek intelligence interviews with individuals being held in local jails, federal prisons, and immigrant detention centers.

    While most law-abiding U.S. citizens may not care much about this DHS target group, remember this is just another example of how elements of DHS appear corrupt, and play fast and loose with the law, and all our civil liberties.

    But the Departmentโ€™s politicization is probably the biggest danger according to documents obtained by Politico.

    As the New York Post reports:

    The ability of DHS to be impartial and withstand caving to political pressure was also a major concern, documents show. 

    An internal analysis during the Trump administration found a โ€œsignificant number of respondents cited concerns with politicization of analytic products and/or the perceptions of undue influence that may compromise the integrity of the work performed by employees. This concern touches on analytic topics, the review process, and the appropriate safeguards in place to protect against undue influence.โ€

    The document adds that โ€œa number of respondents expressed concerns/challenges with the quality and effectiveness of I&A senior leadershipโ€ such as the โ€œinability to resist political pressure.โ€

    โ€œThe workforce has a general mistrust of leadership resulting from orders to conduct activities they perceive to be inappropriate, bureaucratic, or political,โ€ the document continues.

    It is clearly time to rein in rogue elements at DHS and FBI, but also to clean house at the top levels of both organizations, and DOJ.

    The walls are closing in on Donald Trump.

    Will the former President have another indictment in the coming weeks over his alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House in 2021? It’s not looking good.

    Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he has not been told that heโ€™s being indicted as a special counsel investigation into his handling of classified documents shows signs of wrapping up.

    โ€œNo one has told me Iโ€™m being indicted, and I shouldnโ€™t be because Iโ€™ve done NOTHING wrong,โ€ Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that he has โ€œassumed for years that I am a Target of the WEAPONIZED DOJ & FBI.โ€

    CDC Now Doling Out Controversial ‘Advice’ For New Dads

    By

    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

    ANALYSIS โ€“ Your federal tax dollars, hard at work – The far-left l*nacy has taken control of so many formerly respected American institutions, itโ€™s tough for some of them to outdo themselves.ย 

    The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) though wasnโ€™t content just m*sinforming Americans about C*VID-19โ€™s o*igins, risks, m*sking, and l*ckd*wns, it is now promoting l*ftist ins*nity and likely endangering the health of babies.

    And it is time for Congress to investigate.

    The CDC, with a $12 billion budget and more than 12,000 employees, is an Atlanta-based federal agency tasked with protecting Americans from disease outbreaks and other public health threats. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, ex-head of the CDC under Joe Biden resigned effective June 30, without explanation.

    Previously an infectious-diseases specialist at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, Walensky had no experience running a government agency prior to being picked for the job by Biden.

    The agency recently published advice for โ€˜tr*ns-id*ntifiedโ€™ and โ€˜n*n-bi*aryโ€™ individuals (aka m*n) on how to bre*stfeed their infants, which the health agency called “ch*stfe*ding.”ย 

    Biological men who tr*nsition to women can produce a form of br*astmilk by taking a cocktail of h*rmone drugs that mimic the changes a woman’s body undergoes during the late stages of pregnancy and shortly after the birth of a child.

    Initially developed for biological women who adopted or had a child via surrogacy and wanted to bre*stfeed, itโ€™s called the N*wman-G*ldfarb pr*tocol, and itย tricks the body into l*ctating.

    The CDC’s Health Equity Considerationsย pageย explains that these bi*logical men donโ€™t need to physically have a child to feed a child from the ch*st:ย “An individual does not need to have given birth to br*astfeed or ch*stfeed,” the CDC website reads.

    The now thoroughly discredited agency also notes that br*astfeeding can be referred to as โ€˜b*dyfeedingโ€™ which sounds like it’s describing something gr*tesque out of a ho*ror movie.ย 

    It notes: “Some families may have other preferred terminology for how they feed their babies, such as nursing, ch*stfeeding, or bo*yf*eding.”ย 

    Jay W. Richards, a senior research fellow in religious liberty and civil society at the Heritage Foundation, called for greater review of the health agency from congressional leaders. 

    He told The Christian Post that the CDC showed a willingness to put politics ahead of public health during C*VID, adding that the “latest debacle” over “ch*stf*eding is even worse.”

    Encouraging bi*logical men on off-label g*nder ch*nge drugs to โ€˜ch*stfeedโ€™ babies is crazy, and risky.

    The Christian Posts added:

    “The agency seems to be tacitly endorsing males’ chestfeeding’ infants with the help of experimental drug cocktail now proves that the CDC has been captured by an ideology that puts the fetishes of disturbed men over the wellbeing of infants,” Richards stated. “It doesn’t even pretend that these experiments have been carefully tested. Its commitment to so-called ‘health equity’ seems to override any old-timey concerns about the effects of drugs, and weird discharges from male bodies, on defenseless infants.”

    The CDC’s endorsement of biological men feeding infants directly from the breast has also received pushback from several health experts, who warn that the long-term impact of the practice is not well-known. 

    U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, who served as an Obstetrician for 25 years and delivered over 5,000 babies, said in a statement that the CDC statement is “irresponsible”  “defies science and safety.”

    โ€œIn my opinion, the CDC has lost all credibility and is in direct conflict with the FDA for marketing a non-FDA approved drug,” Marshall said. “A biological male filled with hormones and a concoction of other drugs that have not been studied that could harm a baby should NEVER be encouraged. When will the Woke Left wake up and realize what they are doing to our country?โ€

    2020 Election – DHS Colluded With Private Groups To Censor Conservatives

    ANALYSIS โ€“ Yes, this was election interference. Under the guise of combating ‘misinformation’ the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) led the effort that colluded with major universities and Big Tech to censor free speech leading up to the 2020 election.

    As House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said Monday, according to Newsmax: “This pressure was largely directed in a way that benefited one side of the political aisle: true information posted by Republicans and conservatives was labeled as ‘misinformation’ while false information posted by Democrats and liberals was largely unreported and untouched by the censors.”

    How did they do this?

    An interim staff report by the House Judiciary Committee and its Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government explained that DHS, so-called disinformation “experts” at universities, Big Tech and others colluded through the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) to monitor and censor Americans’ online speech during the 2020 election.

    “The federal government and universities pressured social media companies to censor true information, jokes and political opinions.”

    Among the DHS targets was Newsmax, according to a summary of the report, titled “The Weaponization of ‘Disinformation’ Pseudo-experts and Bureaucrats: How the Federal Government Partnered with Universities to Censor Americans’ Free Speech.”

    Newsmax reported: โ€œThe report revealed how the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Global Engagement Center (GEC) within the State Department coordinated with Stanford University and other entities to create the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) to censor Americans’ speech in the lead-up to the election.โ€

    In a post on X, Jordan wrote, “according to one EIP member, the EIP was created ‘at the request of CISA.’ The head of the EIP also said that EIP was created after ‘working on some monitoring ideas with CISA.'”

    Newsmax added:

    It [the report] outlines how the EIP was created in the summer of 2020 to provide a way for the federal government “to launder its censorship activities in hopes of bypassing the First Amendment and public scrutiny.”

    “The EIP targeted Americans across the political spectrum, but especially conservatives,” according to the report’s summary.

    The House committee found that EIP, using Stanford, encouraged social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter, now known as X, to declare conservative news as “misinformation.”

    Newsmax continued: โ€œ EIP used a tactic known as “switchboarding” to refer to removal requests from state and local officials to Facebook, X and other social media sites, the New York Post reported Mondayโ€ฆthe Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Louisiana ruled in September federal officials colluded with Big Tech social media platforms to suppress speech.โ€

    And they didnโ€™t just censor everyday Americans, they also targeted Republican politicians ranging from former President Donald Trump, Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., to former Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

    Among the media, the report noted, in addition to Newsmax, this corrupt political effort targeted conservative commentators such as Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, Michelle Malkin and Mollie Hemingway, and “an untold number of everyday Americans of all political affiliations.”

    As an added note, I was permanently banned from LinkedIn, where I had a growing following in the tens of thousands, back in 2022.

    Trump Dominates GOP Presidential Rivals as Biden Approval Tanking

    ANALYSIS โ€“ Even as the indictments pile up, or maybe because of them,ย a new national NBC News poll finds former President Donald Trump expanding his national lead in the Republican presidential nominating contest to 43 points over his nearest rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

    Trump leads the first-choice field with 59% of national Republican primary voters. In comparison, Ron DeSantis gets support from 16% — followed by former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley at 7% and former Vice President Mike Pence at 4%.

    The poll also includes an all-time high disapproval of Joe Bidenโ€™s job performance. Fewer than 4 in 10 voters (37%) approve of his handling of the economy. This is huge.

    As NBC News reported: 

    Deeper inside those numbers, Biden is underwater among voters between the ages of 18 and 34 (46% of them approve of his job performance), all women (46%), Latinos (43%) and independents (36%).

    Whatโ€™s more, the NBC News poll finds 37% of voters approve of Bidenโ€™s handling of the economy, and 41% approve of his handling of foreign policy.

    Biden is also taking a big hit for his open borders policy and unprecedented waves of illegal immigration on his watch, as also shown by a recent The Washington Post-ABC News poll. 

    Axios noted: 

    “A variety of factors may be at play,” [ABC News’ Gary] Langer writes in his analysis. “Biden’s poor performance ratings, the extent of economic discontent, the immigration crisis and doubts about his age clearly are relevant.”

    Axios added: โ€œIn the Post-ABC poll, 44% said they’re worse off โ€” the most for any president in the poll sinceโ€ฆ 1986, ABC News’ Gary Langer said in his poll analysis.โ€

    โ€œIn NBC, Biden’s disapproval rating is the highest of his term for that poll.โ€

    NBC News also noted that: โ€œAnother 60% have major concerns (45%) or moderate concerns (15%) about Bidenโ€™s possible awareness or involvement in the business dealings of his son, Hunter, including alleged financial wrongdoing and corruption.โ€

    โ€œThis [NBC] survey is a startling flashing red light for an incumbent party,โ€ said Republican pollster Bill McInturff of Public Opinion Strategies. McInturff conducted the September 15-19 poll with Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt and his team at Hart Research Associates.

    โ€œYes, the numbers for Biden arenโ€™t where he needs them to be,โ€ said Horwitt. However, Trump and Republicans have challenges, such as the GOP front-runnerโ€™s unpopularity with the general electorate.

    Most polls show that both Trump and Biden have high unfavorability going into a general election.

    NBC News reported: โ€œThree-quarters of voters say theyโ€™re concerned about President Joe Bidenโ€™s age and mental fitness, while nearly two-thirds have concerns about the multiple trials former Presidentย Donald Trump faces, a new national NBC News poll finds, casting a gloomy shadow over the upcoming 2024 presidential election.โ€

    Musk Questions Radical Leftist Soros and Asks if Davos โ€˜Globalist Eliteโ€™ is Trying to Rule the World

    By
    Paul Crespo

    ANALYSIS โ€“ Elon Musk is challenging fellow billionaire George Soros and the entire globalist elite now meeting in Davos Switzerland. Musk, still majority owner and CEO of Twitter, made his challenge via his recently acquired social media platform.ย 

    In a tweet by Ian Miles asking, โ€œIf we got George Soros in a Twitter Space what question would you ask him?โ€ โ€“ Musk responded with his own simple question for Soros: โ€œDo you actually know where your money is going?โ€

    This prompted a flurry of anti-Soros comments. 

    One user said he would ask: Do you realize that you are part of the hegemonic imperialism you claim to be fighting against..?โ€

    Another said Soros would respond by saying: “To fund the demise of capitalism so no one will ever be as rich as me again”

    Musk has never directly attacked Soros, but his provocative question comes less than two months after Soros disclosed that he had tripled his investment stake in Tesla over the summer.

    Since then, Tesla’s shares lost almost two-thirds of their value in 2022. 

    We will have to wait until Februaryโ€™s 13F quarterly financial disclosures to know whether Soros remains a shareholder of Tesla.

    But getting back to Muskโ€™s question, Soros, who is reportedly worth about $8.5 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, should definitely know where his money is going.

    Most recently the far-left financier who is one of the Democrat Party’s biggest donors spent $128.4 million on the midterms, says the Americans for Tax Fairness.

    And the Democrat Party has been effectively co-opted by the extreme, so-called โ€˜progressiveโ€™ left.

    However, that is trifling compared to the vast sums of money and resources he uses to fund a radical leftist agenda, causes, and NGOs worldwide through his Open Society Foundations, the billionaire also funds many socialist and socially radical causes and NGOs worldwide.ย 

    In the U.S. his organizations are notorious for funding the election of leftist prosecutors who are releasing hardened criminals into our nationโ€™s cities without bail, and supporting the extreme transgender agenda, as well as various extreme far-left โ€˜racial justiceโ€™ groups throughout the country.

    He does all this under the highly deceptive banner of promoting democracy, human rights, and press freedom.

    Rather than attack Soros too directly, Musk heaped most of his scorn on the World Economic Forum (WEF), apparently trying to shake up the gathering of those liberal political and economic elites. 

    The forum is traditionally held every year in January in the ski resort of Davos, Switzerland, though it was suspended for the covid-19 pandemic.

    This yearโ€™s event, which opened on Jan. 16, brought together 52 heads of state and government and nearly 600 CEOs, including JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon and BlackRock’s Larry Finkis.

    A few days before the forum opened, Musk said he’d been invited to join the WEF but had turned down the invite โ€“ a claim denied by the WEF. 

    They stated he had not been invited.

    “My reason for declining the Davos invitation was not because I thought they were engaged in diabolical scheming, but because it sounded boring,” Musk explained on Dec. 31.

    However, later Musk tweeted:ย “I guess thereโ€™s value to having a mixed government & commercial forum of some kind,” the billionaire said on Jan. 15. “WEF does kinda give me the willies though, but Iโ€™m sure everything is fineย ๐Ÿ‘€.”

    His mockery of the WEF only intensified after that.

    He wondered in particular about the message of Klaus Schwab, the founder of the WEF, urging the participants of the 2023 edition to “master the future” in the face of the challenges currently facing the world.

    “‘Master the Future’ doesnโ€™t sound ominous at all,” the billionaire said sarcastically. “How is WEF/Davos even a thing? Are they trying to be the boss of Earth!?”

    Later on Musk dialed it back quite a bit in response to comments from Chris Rufo of the conservative Manhattan Institute arguing that the Davos forum was essentially an overrated clown show and not a serious concern to Americans.

    It is still good to see Musk questioning both Soros and the Davos WEF forum. I can only hope this is the beginning of even more questioning โ€“ especially of Soros and his deceptive and extremely far-left Open Society Foundation.

    There is a lot to question.
