Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Permanently Suspended from Twitter Over COVID 'Misinformation'

Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor has been issued a permanent suspension from Twitter over her "repeated violations" of the platform's COVID-19 misinformation policy, the company announced Sunday.

"We permanently suspended the account you referenced (@mtgreenee) for repeated violations of our COVID-19 misinformation policy. We’ve been clear that, per our strike system for this policy, we will permanently suspend accounts for repeated violations of the policy," a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement.
The ban only applies to Greene's personal account. As of Sunday afternoon, her congressional Twitter account is still active.

In a statement published to Telegram, Greene claimed that the social media giant "can't handle the truth."

"Twitter is an enemy to America and can’t handle the truth," she said. "That’s fine, I’ll show America we don’t need them and it’s time to defeat our enemies."

Greene has been suspended from Twitter on a number of different occasions for violating the platform's COVID-19 misinformation policy.

In July, she was suspended from Twitter for 12 hours over two tweets claiming that the coronavirus was not dangerous for people under 65 years of age.

And in August, Greene received a week-long suspension for alleging that the vaccines did not aid in mitigating the spread of COVID. She said that "these vaccines are failing and do not reduce the spread of the virus & neither do masks."

Twitter's COVID-19 misleading information policy states that tweets must advance claims as facts, be demonstrably false or misleading based on widely available information and have a likelihood of causing...

The eight biggest economic stories of 2021

From “meme stocks" and a ship wedged in the Suez Canal to spiraling inflation, economic news dominated much of 2021.

The year was also marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, which touched nearly every aspect of society as it spread and mutated. While 2020 will likely go down in the history books as the year the virus shut everything down and scientists scrambled to produce vaccines, 2021 will likely be remembered for all of the pandemic’s downstream effects.

Inflation

One of the most serious downstream effects of the coronavirus has been that of inflation. Consumer prices accelerated to 6.8% for the year ending November, the fastest pace of inflation in 39 years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed this month.

The report for November marked the fourth consecutive month of the inflation rate increasing and was met by concern, even among those who have consistently claimed that inflation was merely a temporary phenomenon. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell recently conceded that it was time to retire the phrase “transitory,” which for months became ubiquitous with the central bank’s stance on the higher prices.

Economists are divided about what is the main driving force behind the higher costs, which is thought to be a mix of pandemic-related problems, such as pent-up demand clashing with labor shortages and supply chain disruptions, and federal policies, including the Fed keeping interest rates near zero and trillions in federal stimulus spending.

Supply chain problems

Tied closely to inflationary pressure is the situation with the country's, and the world’s, frayed supply chains. Images from the West Coast in 2021 showed dozens of massive cargo ships laden with goods and waiting idly to be unloaded as backlogs grew worse . Port officials blamed a lack of truckers, truckers blamed slow offloading at the ports, and still others blamed President Joe Biden.

Workers have been tough to come by for many industries across the country. The lack of labor directly affected the supply chain situation in 2021 as the need to offload and transport goods outstripped businesses' capabilities.

In order to help try to loosen the snarls, Biden announced that the Port of Los Angeles, mired in delays and backlogs, would begin operating on a 24/7 basis . Several companies, such as FedEx and UPS, also announced they would scale up operations in the lead-up to the holiday season. The administration hopes that supply chains will begin to return to normal sometime next year, although that fate is unknown, given uncertainty surrounding new strains of COVID-19, such as the omicron variant that recently emerged.

The Great Resignation

The labor shortages behind the supply chain problems have been blamed by some economists on the “ Great Resignation .” Workers, many feeling burned out and tired after months of working during the pandemic, have begun reevaluating what they want out of life and are changing jobs.

The Department of Labor recently found that the number of people quitting their jobs is the third highest on record, with some 4.2 million workers quitting in October, down from a record of 4.4 million the month before.

It’s a workers’ job market as employers struggle to hold on to and hire new employees. Many employers have been forced to boost wages and benefits and offer unique incentives such as signing bonuses in order to stay competitive. In addition to wages, an overwhelming number of workers that adjusted to remote work want to stay that way, something that has transformed the U.S. employment landscape, perhaps permanently.

Bitcoin hits new records

As many people became habituated to working from home in 2021, their investment habits also shifted. Cryptocurrencies exploded in popularity this year, with many new investors using their government-issued stimulus checks to play around in the markets.

Bitcoin, the flagship cryptocurrency, bounded from less than $30,000 at the end of December 2020 to nearly $65,000 months later in April. After retreating from its summit over news of Chinese regulation, Bitcoin once again rallied to a fresh record high of $69,000 in November as some investors considered it as a form of inflation hedge. It also became more mainstream with large firms taking interest and the country of El Salvador even adopting it as legal tender .

Bitcoin wasn’t alone in its meteoric rise. Ethereum and other major digital assets also saw massive growth in 2021 and minor “meme” coins such as Dogecoin, which was hawked by Tesla founder Elon Musk, springing from obscurity at $0.004 last December to $0.74 earlier in the year.

Crypto ‘cloud wars’ have a winner, and it’s not Bitcoin Last year brought many surprises to the cryptocurrency market, including a new leader

The 2021 performance of all three major cryptocurrency media darlings – Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu – was overshadowed by Ether, which surged over 400% this year.

While the others were grabbing headlines, Ether was securing market attention, it seems. As of Friday, December 31, it was up 410%, according to Coinbase data, trading around $3,730 per coin. While it is much less than Bitcoin, it is still far ahead of any other cryptocurrency on the market, including Twitter favorites Shiba Inu and Dogecoin.

Though still the globe’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Bitcoin in comparison added only 60% this year to date, swinging back and forth throughout the year from near $30,000 per coin low in mid-summer to a new record high of almost $69,000 in November. It finished the year in the green, but below the anticipated $50,000 benchmark.

Although some analysts claim Ether’s native blockchain – Ethereum – has become too expensive in terms of transaction fees, others believe it has a bright future, especially after the platform rolled out its fee-improving ETH 2.0 upgrade in August.

According to Kevin Owocki, co-founder of Gitcoin, Ethereum aspires to become a “blockchain of blockchains,” which could mean more good news for Ether in the coming year.

“Smart contract platforms are all about being able to build financial applications like legos. Every new lego added on Ethereum makes it better to build on the...

‘What a joke’: Cruz blasts CNN claim that media ‘isn’t lying,’ says mistakes ‘skew 100% in one direction’

CNN is facing fierce criticism from the public, in addition to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, for having invited a guest on air to claim that the establishment press doesn’t routinely lie to the American people.

The guest was Mara Schiavocampo, a so-called journalist with a history of complaining about “white woman syndrome” and dismissing Hamas’ sometimes deadly rockets attacks on Israel. She appeared last Sunday on purported media critic Brian Stelter’s weekend program, “Reliable Sources.”

As part of the show’s “media mailbag” segment, Schiavocampo was asked why the media screws up so often. She responded by attributing these incessant slip-ups to honest mistakes and claimed it’s a “misconception” to believe the media are purposefully being deceitful or outright lying.

“So the single biggest misconception is that we are lying. There is a lot of media mistrust. I hear this all the time. And here’s what I would love to correct about that misperception. We are human. We make mistakes. So most often when someone says to me the media is lying and they point to an example, what they’re pointing to is an example of a mistake, not an intentional lie,” she said.

“We do not have malicious intent. Most journalists, by and large, take great pride in getting things right. And it’s tremendously shameful to make a mistake, and [we] own up to it very quickly. So if you do see a mistake, it’s generally the result of human error. You’re moving too fast, bad sources, too many cooks in the kitchen. You know, you’re playing a game with telephone.”

Yet nobody at CNN nor virtually any other establishment outlet has displayed an iota of shame over their extremely flawed reporting on Nick Sandman and Kyle Rittenhouse. The reporting on Sandmann was so bad and defamatory that he managed to compel several establishment networks, including CNN, into accepting court settlements.

Continuing the discussion, Stelter agreed with Schiavocampo’s talking points but did ask, “But it’s almost always innocent, right?”

The “almost always” suggests that he knows deep inside that the flawed reporting from the establishment press is, at least at times, rooted in maliciousness.

Schiavocampo responded by blaming the media’s supposed mistakes on the pandemic.

“So especially these days, with a pandemic, and people working in different places, you know, you might have four editors in four different places, and then a typo ends up in a story. And just because of the crazy workflow, you know,” she said.

Sandmann was ruthlessly smeared over a year before the pandemic emerged. Meanwhile, the smearing of former President Donald Trump via the Russian collusion delusion hoax and conspiracy theory began way back in 2016.

To their credit, a few lone voices in the establishment press such as actual media critic Eric Wemple of The Washington Post have sought to hold the wider media industrial complex accountable for the Russia smear.

For the most part, however, there’s been dead silence. And so given this, given the smearing of Sandmann and Rittenhouse, and given that the media’s errors invariably go in one direction (one that hurts Republicans and benefits Democrats), many were left beyond unconvinced by Schiavocampo’s arguments.

Cruz, a Republican, was among the critics:

Glenn Greenwald, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist famous for helping dissident Edward Snowden expose the NSA’s illegal surveillance operations, has long accused establishment media figures of lacking self-awareness.

This lack of self-awareness is why, he’s argued, the media so often behave hypocritically by, as an example, capriciously destroying people’s lives with smears but turning around and crying “harassment” whenever they’re merely criticized.

Notorious smear merchant Taylor Lorenz of The New York Times is a perfect example of this phenomenon:...

New York Prioritizing Antiviral Pills for ‘Non-White’ People

New York state’s Department of Health (DOH) announced recently that non-white people should be prioritized over white people for anti-viral pills in short supply.

The DOH announcement, dated December 27, said limited supply of oral antivirals will “require providers to prioritize treatment for patients at highest risk for severe COVID-19 until more product becomes available.”

Under a list of eligibility requirements for oral antiviral treatment, it said one requirement should be “have a medical condition or other factors that increase their risk for severe illness” and that one risk factor is being a “non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor, as longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19.”

The announcement also linked to a separate undated DOH document on prioritization that contained the same guidance.

Columnist Karol Markowicz drew attention to the guidelines in a tweet, where she said, “NY State Department of Health warns they don’t have enough Paxlovid or Monoclonal Antibody Treatment and white people need not apply.”

Journalist and author Abigail Shrier called for a constitutional challenge to the guidance. “If the state can discriminate racially for medical treatment, then the 14th Amendment truly has no meaning. There needs to be a constitutional challenge to this IMMEDIATELY,” she tweeted.

Former Trump administration adviser Stephen Miller placed blame on the signal sent by the Biden Administration. He tweeted:

Political commentator Dave Rubin tweeted: “Systemic racism, brought to you by progressive Democrats…”
