Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher announced last month that he would be retiring from congress in mid-April. But until then, he’s a co-sponsor of the TikTok bill which just passed in the House. Today the NY Times published an interview with Gallagher in which he makes the case for passing the bill. Representative Mike Gallagher: There […]
China seems to be gearing up for a fight to preserve its effective control of TikTok. Yesterday a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman compared Congress to bandits. At a news conference in Beijing on Thursday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said the vote on the bill “runs contrary to the principles of fair competition and […]
This sounds like a script out of Hollywood — one that Steve Mnuchin himself might have produced. Here’s the pitch: A multi-billionaire with too much time on his hands decides to buy out a social-media platform to save free expression and civil rights in America. Along the way, he meets zany characters like, er, Chinese […]
TikTok spent days directing its users to call their Members of Congress but that effort seems to have failed, at least so far. Today a bill that would force the Chinese owner of TikTok to either sell it or face a ban in the US passed the House with strong bipartisan support. Republican leaders fast-tracked […]

The bill, dubbed the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, creates a process […]
Is there nothing TikTok can’t do? Most of us are probably familiar with the typical uses of the app. You can watch crazy dances and Tide Pod challenges. You can learn the locations of conservatives or Jews you’d like to dox. Or you can just open up your own data to be consumed by the […]
Ah, Target. Jumping jiminy, those woke Minneapolis knuckleheads can’t do anything right. Now, I could say that’s what happens when you make a deal with the devil, but it was only his fashion designer, not the actual Satan-guy. So it was probably just their own innate, arrogant stupidity rearing its ugly head again. Did you […]
Birds of a feather flock together, and so do narcissistic men pretending to be women. On Dec. 22, “transgender” actor Tommy Dorfman accused Delta Airlines employees of “misgendering” him in a video that later went viral on TikTok and elsewhere, due in large part to one male employee’s refusal to yield in the face of […]
