This is the second time in less than 30 days that Twitter has suspended Rep. Greene by mistake.
Earlier today U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was suspended from Twitter for 12 hours after she tweeted, “He Is Risen!” and “Happy Easter, everyone!” After several hours, with the suspension almost expired, Twitter now claims it made a mistake and has restored her account.
This evening Twitter reversed their suspension of Greene, and claimed it was a mistake, per Breaking 911. “Twitter suspended Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green [sic] earlier today after she tweeted ‘He is risen’”, the outlet reported. “Twitter has now restored her account and says they ‘made a mistake’”.
The outlet also notes that this is the second time Twitter has “mistakenly” suspended Greene’s account, after previously admitting they suspended her account in “error” on March 19. The two events happened 16 days apart.

Sen. Bill Hagerty: I see ‘fingerprints of Bernie Sanders and AOC on almost every policy’
The Democrats’ Trojan horse is inside the White House gates and wasting no time.
President Biden, who campaigned as a no-drama moderate Democrat, has embarked on a sweeping far-left agenda of massive tax increases, climate-change mandates and more red tape.
In less than three months, Mr. Biden has rammed through Congress a nearly $2 trillion economic relief bill with no Republican support. Now he’s teeing up an infrastructure and jobs plan that would cost upwards of $3 trillion and implement another wish list of unfulfilled longtime Democratic priorities.
Beyond the spending, tax and regulatory actions, Mr. Biden is pushing a broad expansion of the social safety net and entitlements on a level not seen since the 1960s.
“What I see are the fingerprints of Bernie Sanders and AOC on almost every policy that comes from the White House,” said Sen. Bill Hagerty, Tennessee Republican, referring to the socialist senator from Vermont and liberal Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. “It’s tragic that America was misled in the way that the Biden-Harris campaign misled them.”
In a lawsuit filed this week, 33 current and former students at U.S. Christian colleges and universities say their schools should be ineligible for federal funding due to LGBTQ discrimination that’s permitted due to religious exemptions.
The class-action suitbrought by the LGBTQ students names 25 institutions of higher education and aims to strike down the religious exemption in Title IX, the federal civil rights law that bans discrimination based on sex.
“The Plaintiffs seek safety and justice for themselves and for the countless sexual and gender minority students whose oppression, fueled by government funding, and unrestrained by government intervention, persists with injurious consequences to mind, body and soul,” the suit states.
“The Department’s inaction leaves students unprotected from the harms of conversion therapy, expulsion, denial of housing and healthcare, sexual and physical abuse and harassment, as well as the less visible, but no less damaging, consequences of institutionalized shame, fear, anxiety and loneliness.”
Charles Barkley shared some refreshing and blunt thoughts about the divisions in America, and everyone needs to hear his words.
It’s known that the retired NBAlegendnever holds back when he has something to say, and this time he touched on the chaos and carnage in America. Trust me, it’s been a minute or two since we’ve heard something this wide.
Barkley said the following Saturday afternoon prior the Final Four games starting:
Man, I think most white people and black people are great people. I really believe that in my heart, but I think our system is set up where our politicians, whether they’re Republicans or Democrats, are designed to make us not like each other so they can keep their grasp of money and power. They divide and conquer. I truly believe in my heart most white people and black people are awesome people, but we’re so stupid following our politicians, whether they’re Republicans or Democrats, and their only job is, ‘Hey, let’s make these people not like each other. We don’t live in their neighborhoods, we all got money, let’s make the whites and blacks not like each other, let’s make rich people and poor people not like each other, let’s scramble the middle class. I truly believe that in my heart.
NEW YORK—Details from more than 500 million Facebook users have been found available on a website for hackers.
While the information appears to be several years old, it’s another example of the vast amount of information collected by Facebook and other social media sites, and the limits to how secure that information is.
The availability of the data set was first reported by Business Insider. According to that publication, it has information from 106 countries, including phone numbers, Facebook IDs, full names, locations, birthdates, and email addresses.

Facebook has been grappling with data security issues for years. In 2018, the social media giant disabled a feature that allowed users to search for one another via phone number following revelations that the political firm Cambridge Analytica had accessed information on up to 87 million Facebook users without their knowledge or consent.
A few weeks ago, this column focused on the need for citizens who are unhappy with the state of our political and justice systems to speak up about their concerns.
Your opinion can’t be counted if you stay silent, I wrote. Or as one of my readers put it, “We now have the government that we have earned but not the government our children deserve.”
Apathetic mainstream voters have allowed a minority of outspoken activists to dominate the national conversation on myriad topics: defunding police, immigration, selective prosecutions, federal spending, and lots more divisive issues. I urged citizens to get in touch with elected officials so all views can be considered.
Well, judging from the amount of mail I’ve gotten, citizens are, indeed, contacting their representatives. The problem? Politicians are ignoring them.
“I email my U.S. Senators frequently to encourage them, or at least make them aware that there are other points of view out there,” Sara Karl wrote. “I have not got a response in over a year, not even their form letters.” Karl believes her elected officials are too consumed with reelection to care about what she thinks.
“Same here in N.J.,” wrote L. Grace. “I do get a response, but it is a canned, elitist political speech extolling the vapid virtues of the very thing I am writing against.”
Steve Robel in North Carolina declared that voters absolutely must “Hold them accountable while they are in office.” Robel supports term limits.
Gregstocks2005 emailed to say: “Our government officials both local and federal, are nothing more than echo chambers, busy listening to one another. They are not interested in either their constituents’ voices, or the voices of common people.”
And reader Thomas Spencer appears ready to give up trying to contact his representatives. “With little or no response from them I know they do what they like,” he says. “Most of the time I receive an email justifying their actions with the invisible middle finger hidden in the words.” Ouch.
Billionaire “philanthropist” Bill Gates is working on a diabolical scheme that extends well beyond vaccinating the entire planet and depopulating the Third World.
YouTube is deleting “dislikes” to artificially bolster the approval ratings of nearly all of the videos on the official YouTube channel of the Biden White House. Below are the receipts that prove it.
Once a new Biden White House video is about 6-12 hours old, YouTube begins deleting dislikes from the video. They continue to delete additional dislikes at fairly regular intervals after that. The end result is that Biden regime videos appear to be much more popular than they really are, though they are still almost entirely upside down. In contrast, YouTube videos from the Trump White House usually had net positive approval ratios.
A few months back, researcher Zoe Phin did the first numerical analysis of the phenomenon I witnessed. She charted likes/dislikes over time and noticed large discontinuities in the charts. In Phin’s original post, she produced the following chart of the likes, dislikes, and total views over time on a White House video featuring Jen Psaki:
In the above chart, notice that the red line, which represents dislikes, increases very organically, then drops suddenly by a large amount once the video is about nine hours old. After that large initial drop, there are periodic drops that seem to correspond to more batches of “dislikes” being deleted, and that seem aimed at keeping the dislikes below some threshold of a maximum number of dislikes.
Hollywood stars helped drag Joe Biden over the finish line and into the White House. Now they are hoping their celebrity magic will work wonders again with the Democrat-backed bill H.R. 1, also known as the “For the People Act” — the 791-page behemoth legislation that expands vote by mail and prevents states from enforcing voter identification requirements.
Showbiz elites including Judd Apatow, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Debra Messing, Rob Reiner, and Amy Schumer are performing the hard sell, spinning the legislation as a safeguard against corruption. In actuality, the bill restores voting rights to convicted felons, protects illegal aliens, and empowers the federal government to grab election oversight from states.
Republicans have warned the bill represents a potential disaster for the country, saying the country’s electoral process will experience unprecedented chaos if it passes the Senate. (The House has already passed the bill.)
Several Republican senators joined calls to end Major League Baseball’s (MLB) antitrust exemption after it pulled the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta, Georgia, saying that it was because of the recent voter integrity bill that has been lambasted by other major corporations and Democratic officials.
MLB announced the decision to move the game on April 2, saying it would do to protest against the voting law that it claimed would restrict the ability of people to vote. Republicans, in criticizing the MLB and other major corporations, have accused them of bowing to Democratic-led and celebrity-led pressure. Democrats, without providing evidence, have said the new laws will make it harder for African-American voters to cast their ballots.
The measure, which was passed last month and signed into law by Georgia’s governor, implements identification requirements for mail-in ballots and places restrictions on the number of drop boxes across the state.
“Why does @MLB still have antitrust immunity? It’s time for the federal government to stop granting special privileges to specific, favored corporations—especially those that punish their political opponents,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) wrote on Twitter.
Added Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas): “EXACTLY right. And @SenMikeLee & I will be working hard to END MLB’s antitrust immunity,” accusing the organization of becoming “woke,” a pejorative used by conservatives to describe left-wing activism that focuses on identity politics while using censorship and pressure campaigns to silence opposing viewpoints.
