Trump trolls Twitter over stock plunge as feud continues | Just The News

Best served cold.

Nearly four months after he was kicked off Twitter, former President Donald Trump is getting a bit of revenge as he trolls the social media giant for a 15% dive in its stock price caused by missed market expectations.

“Twitter stock plunged as results are no longer cutting it for investors,” Trump crowed Friday evening after markets closed with Twitter substantially down. “Shares are off 15% today. Bad forecasts are hurting the outlook but more importantly, in my opinion, it has become totally BORING as people flock to leave the site.

Trump suggested Twitter’s market decline was aided by its censorship policies. “I guess that’s what happens when you go against FREEDOM OF SPEECH! It will happen to others also,” he said in a statement released by his office in Florida.

They also say, get woke, go broke.

Nearly four months after he was kicked off Twitter, former President Donald Trump is getting a bit of revenge as he trolls the social media giant for a 15% dive in its stock price caused by missed market expectations.

“Twitter stock plunged as results are no longer cutting it for investors,” Trump crowed Friday evening after markets closed with Twitter substantially down. “Shares are off 15% today. Bad forecasts are hurting the outlook but more importantly, in my opinion, it has become totally BORING as people flock to leave the site.

Trump suggested Twitter’s market decline was aided by its censorship policies. “I guess that’s what happens when you go against FREEDOM OF SPEECH! It will happen to others also,” he said in a statement released by his office in Florida.

Twitter’s stock price dropped 15.16% on Friday, to $55.22, wiping out nearly all of the its 2021 gains. Twitter opened the year trading at $54.43 per share, and had climbed above $80 two months ago before trending downward.

Biden Administration’s Incoherent Focus on Crises | National Review

Give Kerry a chance to do what he does best.

You can tell how much of this is stagecraft requiring the suspension of disbelief. President Biden would have us believe things that are logically incompatible, e.g., (1) that climate change is one of the most important crises facing the human race, and (2) that John Kerry should be entrusted with leading our response to climate change.

John Kerry should not be in charge of climate change — he should be in charge of addressing the national debt, because the only thing in life he ever has had much talent for is marrying money. (Mr. Kerry has married two heiresses; the current Mrs. Kerry has married two senators — these are totally normal people and not weird at all.)

Not off the Democratic bench, no. A first-stringer.

Way back in 2019, Berkeley CA at its nuttiest . . .

Death to the English (and any other) language

Berkeley’s language cops reject the term “master,” instead of insisting on terms like “captain,” “skipper” or “pilot.” Let’s hope the University of California doesn’t have to change “master’s degree” to “skipper’s degree.”

The council also objects to the word “heir,” preferring the term “beneficiaries.” But there’s no gender reference in “heirs.” The dictionary definition is “a person legally entitled to the property or rank of another on that person’s death.”

In 2019 we could laugh about it . . .

Dominus Vobiscum: Notes from a massgoer's underground

Argues that Mass is a spiritual event that goes beyond hearing Scripture.

While it is true that part of the Mass is meant to be instructive and intelligible, the overall character of the liturgy is meant to be much more. Instead, what is meant to be the focus is that, in the “liturgy, heaven joins earth, the invisible becomes visible, and the symbolic is the real (sign and reality)” (Mystical Body, Mystical Voice: Encountering Christ in the Words of the Mass, 27). This hidden reality should then be expressed in the language that is used at Mass, for “the language that we use during the liturgy is the Mystical Voice of the Mystical Body, a ‘hymn of praise that is sung through all the ages in the heavenly places’” (Ibid, 29).

Rather than being a mere proclamation of scripture, the liturgy is meant to bring others…

Iran’s foreign minister says John Kerry told him about Israeli covert operations in Syria

Incredible, credibly reported:

Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif claimed in recently leaked audio that John Kerry, when he was serving as Secretary of State during the Obama administration, informed him of more than 200 Israeli operations in Syria.

Kerry has previously been accused of colluding with Iranian leaders to undermine the Trump administration. Kerry is now a part of the Biden administration and has a seat on the National Security Council as the special presidential envoy for climate.

Kerry shocked Zarif by revealing that Israel had attacked Iranian targets in Syria more than 200 times, according to leaked audio obtained by The New York Times and other outlets.

He served in Viet Nam, you know. Top-level Democrat, trusted as far as you can throw him.

Fully open Texas and Florida reporting fewer COVID cases than Democrat-led Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York | Fox News

Those Dems could not resist the chance to tell people what to do. World’s biggest busybodies.

CDC: Open States Texas and Florida Doing Much Better than Closed Blue States

From the story: Republican-led states including Texas and Florida are reporting fewer coronavirus cases than Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York — all of which are led by prominent Democrats who refuse to roll back COVID-19 regulations and statewide mask mandates, according to CDC data. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was widely criticized by the left after he completely reversed the state’s mandate on March 10 and fully reopened his state. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was also accused of endangering Florida residents when he allowed businesses to fully reopen in September without a mask mandate in place.

We no longer need to fear Covid (in UK)

Chicago Newspapers

In UK a problem:

The whole aim of practical politics, said HL Mencken, “is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

It is hard to avoid the impression that officials are alarmed rather than pleased by the fading of the pandemic in Britain. They had a real hobgoblin to hand, and boy did they make the most of it, but it’s now turning into a pussy cat. So they are back to casting around for imaginary ones to justify their draconian – and deliciously popular – command and control over every detail of our lives. Look, variants!

Officials’ challenge:

Face masks may not be needed in the summer as the vaccine does the ‘heavy lifting’ allowing the country to return ‘towards normal’, senior government scientists have said.
