TWEETS OF NOTE
(@ViralVideos) BREAKING: New York City voters are FURIOUS after finding out their Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he will proceed with imposing higher tax amounts on White people to “alleviate the financial burden” of black people in NYC. “The wealth of a White household in the city is $200K, while that of a black is $20K.” Enjoy, New York City! You voted for this Tweet.
(@WallStreetMav) Democrats are in full panic mode as the changes at CBS News and 60 Minutes have become apparent. Under the new ownership of Paramount (and Larry Ellison with his son David), CBS News is now doing real reporting exposing government fraud in California. Now Ellison is also buying CNN along with all of the assets at Warner Brothers Discovery. The far left wing “reporters” are CNN are in a full blown panic that they will no longer be able to promote their radical left agenda. The far left was counting on their Obama allies at Netflix to purchase Warner Bros (and CNN). However the Ellison family outbid Netflix with $110 billion. Radical left wing senators like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are trying to claim “national security concerns” to block the merger. In reality, they are terrified at the though of the left losing their control on the media narrative. Tweet.
