    Is advertising revenue competition the real push to ban TikTok?

    Has anyone looked into who is lobbying legislators to ban TikTok? As far as I can tell TikTok is doing the same thing with data that all the other social media companies are doing. If we ban TikTok we should ban them all. Google and Meta each faced headwinds in 2022, as people spent less…

    WSJ slanted headline misrepresents article on Trump tax returns

    The headline in the Wall Street Journal reads, “Trump’s Tax Law Echoed Through His Finances During White House Years”. I take that to mean Trump signed a tax law that was designed to benefit him.

    Governor DeSantis is providing a blueprint for Republicans

    The numbers in Florida don’t lie. Will the Republican Party pay attention and take note? I doubt it. Here in Georgia, even though the state is still controlled by Republicans, I can feel a shift in political sentiment here. Trump is an effective wedge used by the Democrats here and moderate Republican voters are getting…
