New in PJ Media:
To hear prominent leftists tell it, we’re just days, if not minutes, away from jackbooted, MAGA hat-wearing thugs breaking down the doors of valiant leftist truth-tellers at 4 a.m., and hauling them off to the gulag for daring to criticize the Führer Trump. Yeah, I’m mixing my totalitarian metaphors, but you get the idea. If you believe Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, and a host of others, “our democracy” is hanging by the weakest, thinnest of threads, and here comes Orange Man Bad with a pair of scissors. Yet the people who have really been shredding the freedom of speech in America are the ones who are now crying the loudest.
Hillary Clinton wrote on Friday: “In America, we defend free speech in terrible times. We defend free speech even when it’s offensive. We defend free speech.” That sounds stirring, all right — does she still have her presidential campaign speechwriters on the payroll? Yet for all her stirring verbiage, Hillary’s commitment to free speech didn’t even extend to X commenters, as she restricted comments on her post.
Was she afraid that someone might bring up the fact that she blamed the Benghazi jihad attack on an obscure filmmaker who had dared to criticize Muhammad, and had him jailed despite the fact that no one had ever heard of him or his Islam-critical film until she started talking about it? “We defend free speech” indeed.
Barack Obama likewise struck a pious pose, writing that the “freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.” Hey, yeah, Barry, right again!
Obama, however, unlike Hillary, left the comments on, and some of them were pure acid. One X user wrote: “Where were you when they banned President Trump and millions of conservatives from social media platforms? When DHS and CISA set up a private-public partnership with universities and tech companies to censor millions of social media posts on COVID and the 2020 election? You were giving speeches about the importance of censoring ‘disinformation.’”
Another asked Obama: “How is this different from the ‘cancelling’ of Roseanne Barr or Gina Carano? Did you wax poetic about freedom of speech when conservatives were being deplatformed and fired left and right for not supporting your policies?”
Then there was Kamala Harris, who wrote Thursday: “What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats. We cannot dare to be silent or complacent in the face of this frontal assault on free speech. We, the People, deserve better.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

One of them said that small town republicans cling to their bibles and their guns. The other said all trump supports in the 2016 presidential race where a basket of deplorables .Both let Benghazi fall and refused to send help for our soldiers and diplomats when they knew the situation and troops where a short helicopter ride away. One when grilled on what happen she said what difference does it make know. The other blamed a youtube short movie that only about 150k saw world wide before the event. One formatted hate by pushing the myth hand up don’t shoot that lead to riots .One used the IRS to get the tea party cancel and other “right wing groups” by taking away their non-profit status. Both where darlings of MSM shielded from most critics both in print and on network TV. Both called podcasters investigation of news and information “fake ” news. While they both pushed the Russian hox she paid for the Steel dorsa and smash her cell phones bleach her computer hard drive and was never held to any standard. I could go on this is why Americans got a brash ,rude , forceful ,but a man who loves Americans and wants to do what is best for them elected twice Trump .I hope to God neither of these power hungry mortally blind narcissus get into power in the case of Obama someone who hates the Christian Jewish cultural and norms are every given a position of power. In the case of Hillary she thinks she missed her turn ,if she was not married to Bill Clinton she would be a real estate lawyer doing house closuring on jeery built track houses .
John Pepple says
Leftists live in a bubble and seem completely unaware of the opinions of those outside of the bubble. Hilary claimed that she was widely celebrated as the most amazing politician of our era, or something equally ridiculous. But this was just the opinions she heard in the mainstream media, which she apparently thought was neutral and objective rather than what it actually was, namely totally biased in her favor.

After what the Left (no, Comrades, just b’cos the other Robinsons were conservative didn’t make Tyler one himself) did to Charlie, the last thing I’m interested in is their free speech. Consequence culture is there, and it’s good to see ABC affiliates refusing to carry Jimmy Kimmel to the point that ABC itself was forced to pull the plug on him
Also, stop calling them comedy shows. The last late night comedy show that I ever saw was Jay Leno. I knew that he was slightly Left-of-Center (he’d be Centrist by today’s standards), but he’d make jokes about both Bill Clinton and Republicans (like Steve Forbes). There has been no one even close to him ever since he retired

Yes.
As good as Jay Leno was on the Tonight Show, he himself actually admitted that he was “no Johnny Carson”.

Just as muzzies have their own dictionary…peace doesn’t mean what we know it does, etc……clinton, bo, harris, all use their own definition of “free speech” and “hate crimes.”
If it’s what they would say or write or would like to hear…as in it’s offensive to their opponents and it’s untrue… it’s “free speech” If it calls for limiting the power and office of their opponents, and/or it restricts the freedoms of those who may oppose their policies, it’s definitely “free.”
On the other hand, if it’s True, increases the freedoms of their opponents, points out the dangers of islime, calls out the liars and those who call for the murder of some who are brave enough, or bold enough to point out what they have done and are trying to do….mutilate babies and little kids, bring in hordes of those who despise freedom, send perverts into elementary schools, take away Constitutional Rights, force *medical* procedures (jabs) for example…it’s “dangerous rhetoric, destroys democracy and is hate” and therefore they are *right* in using all of their freedoms to put an end to these violations of “free speech.”
bo and hellery deserve each other. One can only imagine what they were feeling when that photo was taken. I refuse to “imagine” the slime.

Hillary Clinton is a CIA Arson Specialist

That picture of those two treacherous criminals characters hugging, each other in a show of affection is a farce to deceive the public. This is because enough information has gotten out that strongly dislike each other.
Still, on the other hand, they do make very filling political match. In that sense, they really do deserve each other.

A picture of EVIL and GREED.
