It’s been a while since Jim Hoft and I have exchanged emails but we were always friendly. He’s used some of my tips to publish stories on his website over the years. I’ve never had a falling out with him or anyone at The Gateway Pundit. I rarely ever comment on his site. Maybe 2-3 times a year.
I’ve never been involved in a beef with anyone in his comment section or a contributor to his site. I’ve interviewed some of them and promoted GP content on my show and social media regularly over the years. I’m still friendly and engage with some of them on social media now. When he was a small website he was always willing to answer my emails but now that his site has grown, I guess there’s no time for radio hosts who helped steer people to his articles for all of these years.
The only thing I can think of that may be an issue is I might have posted a link to one of my articles that provided more info on something posted on his site in the comment section. Is that ban worthy? Especially since I’ve promoted his content for years. I would have assumed I would get a note asking not to do that if it was an issue.
I’m genuinely at a loss.
However, Jim Hoft wouldn’t be the first person to do something like this.
And while the GP is a private website and not a public platform like Facebook or Twitter, I wonder if this hurts their credibility in fighting against censorship of conservatives online when I didn’t engage in any traditionally ban-worthy behavior.
On January 28, Biden’s administrator of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) “paused” the Trump rule intended to prevent banks from discriminating against the firearms industry or citizens. When banks can discriminate any business or person based on the leftist agenda, it doesn’t bode well for any of us. If you or your business is considered “an enemy of the state,” under Biden’s agenda, you are sunk.
Under Operation Choke Point, federal regulators instructed banks to do the opposite — to openly discriminate against entire industries the Obama administration found objectionable. Weaponizing the power of banking regulators at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Office of Comptroller of the Currency, the Obama administration realized it could block entire industries from the banking system that it didn’t like. This made it difficult — if not impossible — for politically unfavored businesses such as gun sellers and short-term lenders to operate.
Essentially, by using the power of federal banking regulators to intimidate banks from providing their services to these industries, the administration choked off their access to the financial system, leaving them paying more for essential banking services, or unable to use a bank at all…
…Different agencies within the Obama administration denied wrongdoing in various ways. At least one bank, however, admitted to choking off three legal enterprises at the government’s behest. Dozens of business owners — many of them gun sellers and short-term lenders — said their bank accounts and access to credit card processing platforms were suddenly stymied or shut down with no explanation and no opportunity for recourse.
Sports Illustrated noted that the Mavericks did not publicize the decision, and some players said that they weren’t even aware of the move until they discovered it on their own.
The outlet said, “This is believed to be the first instance of a professional team getting rid of the U.S. national anthem from the pre-game, according to the Athletic. Major League Soccer did not play the anthem during a tournament in 2020 in Orlando that did not have fans present, but teams have since started playing it prior to their home games.”
The great irony is that a billionaire will do what a communist wants him to do in order to keep making money.
It’s not just China responsible for Cuban doing the bidding of communists. This is a long strategy employed by communists do destroy America, and Cuban is happy to do it. Even if he doesn’t realize he’s their puppet.
Cleon Skousen’s “The Naked Communist” listed the 45 communist goals that the US had identified as a way to destabilize and change the United States from a free capitalist country to a socialist one. I was the first person in mass media to tell his audience about this many years ago.
The attack on the National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance has been relentless from academia and has now gone mainstream. They are painted as racist and offensive. Things to be done away with.
Everyone knows not playing the National Anthem is turning your back on America. Mark Cuban is ok with that so long as it satisfies his financial goals. What he may not be aware of is that he’s also doing the bidding of communist agitators hell-bent on destroying this country.
