"We will label or remove false or misleading information about how to participate in an election or other civic process, " the policy warns. Posts deemed inaccurate about "election rigging, ballot tampering, [and] vote tallying" will be subjected to Twitter's heavy hand. The new policy will enable Twitter censors to slap an alert that reads "This is disputed" and redirect users to what it considers "credible information. " An example cited by the company in its announcement shows a user comment flagged for expressing concern about unreliable results from mail-in votes. The platform also pledged to give "context" to trending topics—purportedly so users get an idea why a subject is popular and "to reduce the potential for misleading information to spread. " On Sunday, the company added a disclaimer to the "82% of Americans" trend, which referred to the percentage of Americans who will see a tax hike if Biden repeals the 2017 tax cut. Twitter cautioned users that the figure promoted by RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel "creates some mathematical inconsistencies. "

The Pentagon on Thursday revealed the names of 20 Chinese companies linked to the People's Liberation Army operating directly or indirectly in the United States, in a bid to halt Beijing from obtaining military-related goods. The list includes Huawei Technologies, the global telecommunications company the Trump administration has identified as a potential electronic spying threat. Other firms include the major missile and aircraft manufacturer Aviation Industry Corp. of China, and Hikvision, a company that make surveillance cameras that have been used in the mass repression of Uighurs in western China. Hikvision in a statement denied it was a Chinese military company and said the U. S. list was "baseless. " Most of the companies on the list have been subject to U. economic sanctions and export controls in the past. They include China North Industries Group Corp., linked in the 1990s to an arms smuggling ring for street gangs in Los Angeles, and China's main missile manufacturers — China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp. and China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp. U. officials said the list is meant to better educate American and foreign companies to the risks of doing business with Chinese firms, at a time of growing economic and military tensions between Washington and Beijing.
Executives, board members, and employees can directly contribute or otherwise engage in political activity, as is their constitutional right. It is clear, however, that Big Tech corporations are violating the spirit if not the letter of the law. The policy of every social media and Internet company blatantly favors Democrats and cripples Republicans—and not in a minor way. Twitter, Facebook, Google, and Snapchat dominate their respective spaces online; even as alternatives such as Parler gain ground, their influence is infinitesimal compared to the near-monopolistic stranglehold of the Silicon Valley oligarchy. It would be nearly impossible to calculate the total amount of "in-kind" donations these policies represent to the Biden campaign and Democratic Party but it's likely in the range of hundreds of millions of dollars, which also would flagrantly violate campaign finance law. Of how much value to the Democratic Party is an orchestrated effort to silence any criticism of mail-in voting?
| Posted: Oct 17, 2019 12:01 AM The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Since President Trump took office, the American energy sector has been experiencing a boom thanks to policies that promote industry and technological advances in drilling. The Administration's tax cuts and deregulation have helped increase our energy exports to a whopping 3 million barrels per day and propelled us to surpass Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the world's largest crude oil producer. Becoming the world's biggest crude oil producer is a miracle to our economy and national security and is something that would have been unthinkable, even 3 years ago during the Obama Administration. Despite these good policies that have led to remarkable results, challenges to our country's energy security remain. Liberals continue to push burdensome regulations that stifle industry and, even further beyond our control, geopolitics and international instability continuously threaten American consumers by triggering high gas prices.
CALGARY - There was "more alignment" than expected with federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau at a pre-budget roundtable with the Business Council of Alberta on Thursday, according to the group's president. But economic fear that has boosted separatist sentiment in Alberta will likely continue until residents start to see the benefits of completed pipeline expansions and hear strong support - or even pride - from Ottawa for the Canadian energy sector, added Adam Legge. "I think there's a perception across the country that it's Alberta versus the rest of Canada and that the interests are very divergent, " he told reporters after the roundtable, which was held behind closed doors in downtown Calgary. "I can tell you that from the business perspectives around the room, there is quite a bit of alignment. " Morneau is the third senior Liberal politician to visit Calgary in a week after the party was shut out of the province in last fall's federal election. He follows Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland last week and Jim Carr, special representative for the Prairies, on Tuesday.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday targeting investments in companies owned or heavily influenced by the Chinese Communist Party. "President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to protect American investors from funding Communist Chinese military companies, including those designated by the Department of Defense in June and August of 2020. Many of these companies are publicly traded on stock exchanges around the world, and individual investors in the United States can unknowingly provide funds to them through passive institutional investment vehicles such as mutual funds and retirement plans, " White House National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien released in a statement. "The President's action serves to protect American investors from unintentionally providing capital that goes to enhancing the capabilities of the People's Liberation Army and People's Republic of China intelligence services, which routinely target American citizens and businesses through cyber operations, and directly threaten the critical infrastructure, economy, and military of America and its allies and partners around the world. "
As it stands, this alliance is the only glimmer of hope for Venezuela's economic rebuilding in a post-Maduro, post-socialist future-- by halting this partnership and forcing American energy companies out of Venezuela now, we undermine the ability of the Venezuelan people to eventually rebuild their economic future. If that were to happen, Chinese and Russian interests would also act quickly to fill the gap. Along with the world's largest oil reserves, our opponents would gain access to the billions of dollars' worth of infrastructure investments our energy sector has made in Venezuela over the past 100 years. By forcing American companies out of Venezuela, we would simultaneously reduce American energy security and increase that of our adversaries who, instead of assisting in Venezuela's rebuilding, will exploit the country's resources for their own benefit. We must keep our decades long energy alliance with Venezuela and its wonderful people alive after Maduro's reign inevitably comes to an end.
