‘Woke’ Reporter Humiliated by Own Past Tweets after Issuing Threat to Elon Musk


A “woke” reporter ended up getting humiliated by his own past tweets after his threats against Elon Musk on Twitter immediately backfired.

The Left has been outraged after Musk suspended several leftist journalists on Thursday.

Twitter updated its policies earlier this week to ban “doxxing” – the posting of a person’s personal information, such as their address or location, against their wishes.

Several left-wing journalists were then suspended for using a private jet tracker to tell Twitter users where Musk was in real time.

However, Musk has long argued that publishing his real-time location puts him and his family in danger, especially due to the increased threats he’s received since taking over Twitter.

Musk had already suspended the plane tracker’s account, but the journalists were sharing his tracking data from other social media outlets.

Twitter suspended the plane tracker after the data led to a stalker attacking a car containing Musk’s son.

Musk also asked for help from the public to identify the attacker.

Those suspended included Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell, CNN reporter Donie O’Sullivan, the New York Times’s Ryan Mac, progressive propagandist Aaron Rupar, hardcore leftist Keith Olbermann, and others.

As Musk explained, he took action after his family was “doxxed.”

“As I’m sure anyone who has been doxed would agree, you know, showing real-time information about someone’s location is inappropriate and I think everyone on this call would not like that to be done to them,” Musk said to a group of journalists on a conference call with the media.

Meanwhile, the suspensions drove CBS Sports alumnus and sports reporter Jason Kint into a furious meltdown.

Kint, who was not one of those suspended, was infuriated after Musk put the journalists on suspension.

He jumped to his own Twitter account to blast Musk, warning that the recently ensconced owner of Twitter had better “fix this within the hour with an explanation.”

He then threatened Musk with an ultimatum.

Kint warned that, if Musk doesn’t meet his demands, then “I’ll be on Capitol Hill tomorrow demanding that he be hauled in front of Congress.”

It’s unclear whether or not Musk is quaking in his boots over the thought of Kint’s crusade on Capitol Hill.

Kint tweeted on, accusing Musk of creating new rules, then punishing the journalists in retrospect for violating them.

The sports journalist added that Musk is “leaning into a claimed rule established yesterday – which was his right to establish; it’s a very bad decision to ban press for reporting on it – which is his right; and misrepresenting the facts on it all.”

Kint was, of course, presenting himself as a supporter of the First Amendment and claiming Musk was a violator of all that is holy by banning journalists and putting a halt to their free speech.

If the Internet wasn’t forever, then Kint could have almost passed himself off to his followers as a crusader for free speech.

But, unfortunately for Kint, the “woke” journalist was hoisted by his own petard when his own past tweets reemerged and ended up exposing him as a hypocrite.

Indeed, when the leftists were running Twitter, Kint was all up in arms against those who criticized the outlet for banning conservative users.

Indeed, Kint was seen tweeting that Twitter was a “private company,” and therefore people should just shut up because they had a right to ban anyone they wanted to ban.

Several Twitter users were quick to bust Kint on his hypocrisy.

“Is this you?” one Twitter user asked in a post containing Kint’s old tweets.

“No longer care it’s a private platform?

“We were all so impressed by your principles.”

Like too many left-wing “journalists,” Kint was all about the freedom of a “private company” to do whatever it wanted to do when Twitter was banning conservative users, including...

Here Comes The Job Shock: Philadelphia Fed Admits US Jobs "Overstated" By At Least 1.1 Million


Regular readers are well aware that back in July, Zero Hedge first (long before it became a running theme among so-called "macro experts") pointed out that a gaping 1+ million job differential had opened up between the closely-watched and market-impacting, if easily gamed and manipulated, Establishment Survey and the far more accurate if volatile, Household Survey - the two core components of the monthly non-farm payrolls report.

We first described this divergence in early July, when looking at the June payrolls data, we found that the gap between the Housing and Establishment Surveys had blown out to 1.5 million starting in March when "something snapped." We described this in "Something Snaps In The US Labor Market: Full, Part-Time Workers Plunge As Multiple Jobholders Soar."


Since then the difference only got worse, and culminated earlier this month when the gap between the Establishment and Household surveys for the November dataset nearly doubled to a whopping 2.7 million jobs, a bifurcation which we described in "Something Is Rigged: Unexplained, Record 2.7 Million Jobs Gap Emerges In Broken Payrolls Report."


Whether this divergence was due to wrong seasonal adjustments (a remnant of the overreaction taken by the Dept of Labor following the covid crunch to normalize for a new normal labor market), due to erroneous Birth-Death assumptions (here too, the Dept of Labor was assuming early cycle new business creation which clearly is wrong with the economy late cycle and millions of businesses shutting down, ignoring the open PPP fraud that took place in early/mid-2000s as everyone "opened up" businesses to get free money from the government), due to the Establishment Survey inability to tell the difference between full, part and multiple-jobs - as a reminder we first showed that since March, the US had lost 400K full-time jobs offset by far lower paying part-time jobs as well as double-counted multiple jobholders...

FDA: Pfizer’s Covid Shots Linked to Blood Clotting


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that new evidence has emerged linking Pfizer Covid shots to blood clotting, according to reports.

FDA researchers found that the vaccines are linked to pulmonary embolisms in older people.

A pulmonary embolism is blood clotting in the lungs.

After analyzing data from a federal database of elderly persons in the United States, researchers found evidence that met the initial threshold for a statistical signal.

They revealed that the pulmonary embolism signal in the data continued to meet the criteria after a more in-depth evaluation.

Researchers also warned that the investigation also raised red flags for three other outcomes of interest.

The study found that the vaccines are also linked to a lack of oxygen to the heart, a blood platelet disorder called immune thrombocytopenia, and another type of clotting called intravascular coagulation.

More in-depth evaluations, such as comparisons with populations who received influenza vaccines, showed those three as no longer meeting the statistical threshold for a signal.

Researchers looked at data covering 17.4 million elderly Americans who received a total of 34.6 million vaccine doses between December 10, 2020, and January 16, 2022.

The study was published in the journal Vaccine.

However, despite the concerns raised by the study, the FDA said it was not taking any action on the results.

The federal agency argues that the results do not prove the vaccines cause any of the four outcomes.

The FDA insists that the findings “are still under investigation and require more robust study.”

Dr. Peter McCullough, chief medical adviser for the Truth for Health Foundation, responded by noting that the study supports long-raised concerns.

McCullough told The Epoch Times via email that the new paper “corroborates the concerns of doctors that the large uptick in blood clots, progression of atherosclerotic heart disease, and blood disorders are independently associated with...
