    1. As a blogger it’s still essential, as it’s the only place to go for emerging events, and the stuff the left won’t report on. Think Andy Ngo and Yuri Deigan, for example. If you follow the minority of indy journos on the right, it’s a good resource.

      The point I’m making is about community chatter. Because it’s overwhelmingly dominated by leftist activist types, they’ve created an echo chamber for themselves that doesn’t reflect, or even reach the mainstream.

      1. I’ve always been mystified by this disdain for social media. yeah, if you want to look at pictures of cats, you’re going to find them.
        But 99 percent of what I follow is basically the same range and quality of opinion I see here: good, bad, excellent and plain dumb. Social media is just faster.
        if you’re interested, you need it.
        That said, I certainly wouldn’t criticize those who decide not to bother.

      2. Twitter offers real time events as they occur.
        I concede that.
        Still a parasitic platform which supports degeneracy and lock out conservatives.
        My account was locked a few years ago.

        Thanks for your work

      3. Kate, have you tried Parler? It is a new site. There is no censoring, and will overtake Twitter, I believe, one day. I don’t use Twitter so I appreciate seeing it on your site on occasion.
        Thank you for being there for us Canadians. I go to your site first then branch out from there.

      6. Like millions of other conservatives, I have been banned from Twitter and I couldn’t be happier about that.

        Twitter will make your stomach ache and your heart rate will go up. It’s not a mentally healthy place to be. Same for any leftist dominated venue of any kind. Those people are sick and there is no vaccine for that.

        I do not have a single left leaning friend or acquaintance left. They all hate me because I prefer Trump to insanity.

    2. Says the fuuctard typing on the….internet.
      You are most certainly among the 1% when it comes to stupid liberal/commie/marxist/progressive clan

  3. As David posted on Friday’s “Oddments for the Weekend,” today’s word is agitarded. Twitter is full of agitards.

    Our hostess, President Trump, James Woods, and a few others excepted, of course!

    1. The number one trending question on Google.

      How do I change my Vote?

      “Send in an Absentee ballot”

      you’re welcome..

    1. Agreed IDNF, if it’s notable, Kate posts it anyway, and I won’t stoop to the level of using the twitterati, faceplant, or gurgle, I just don’t need or want that crap in my life.

      1. James Woods uses Twitter to skewer people, often doing so with flair and wit. Those are worth reading.

        1. Absolutely. I read his Tweets every night. Ric (Richard) Grenell’s tweets are also worth reading. As are Scott Adams’s. There are others.

  5. Gab is the next free-speech platform, and will surpass twitface. Trump is posting there now that Twitter is censoring him before election day.

    gab.com

    1. Jack Dorsey should be buying Trump nice presents for Christmas instead of censoring him.
      Twitter was going nowhere until Trump started using the platform.

    2. Thanks Glacierman,
      Google tried to hide it, but I finally got on. Trump brags a lot but he does what he talks about.

      I’m sorry, Joe Biden said his real name is/was GEORGE Trump, sometimes I forget.

      Kate and SDA are still my best reads.

      1. Brave has become my search engine. Doesn’t track my searches, gives me what i need almost all the time, without bias…as far as I can tell.
        Gave up (((g))) a long while ago.

    3. I use gab.com and it’s great. A very well done site. Torba is a good man.

      Parler.com is okay too, but I don’t like the site …. it’s not the best coding I have seen. If they improve the site, more will come. Meanwhile it’s okay to use. I just prefer gab.

      1. Same here. Torba has been through a lot with gab. Many have tried (still are trying) to take him down.)

  6. every time I click on a twit link…..I get “try again”

    ….have to close it….re click the link to get there

    2. I get that from time to time. I also get “That tweet is not available to you” a lot. I have to refresh once or twice to finally see what the tweet was. Typically when that happens, I’m either trying to view a tweet from a conservative, or clicking a link to a tweet that’s on a conservative site.

  8. Same thing happens on the right. One thing I have noticed over the last couple of years is that not only are the right and left interpreting events quite differently (the different movies playing in heads concept) but increasingly they aren’t even talking about the same things. Add to that the fact that political partisans aren’t talking about what non-partisans care about and you have a massive disconnect between the political class and the people they are supposed to represent. Make that double for the media.

  9. I go to Twitter for most of my news, I don’t know what that says about me. My morning typically starts at SDA and Zero Hedge and from there I’ll work my way down a list of about 50 Twitters that I trust for up to the minute news and insights. Those that make a habit of being spectacularly wrong get dropped and there’s been a few.
    The media landscape has changed dramatically over the last few years and I’m lovin’ every minute of it. All I ever asked from Canadian MSM was to be half assed fair but that was too tall of an order apparently, now along with a heapin’ helpin’ of bias and blatant lies for their loyal cadre of leftist monkees…they throw in an extra scoop of outright contempt for people like me for pointing it out. Nice business model you’ve got going there.
    F’em all.

    1. I’m pretty much the same, I use Twitter for news awareness and I also look for humor (or things I find funny like Trudeau’s or McKenna’s sanctimonious media team’s posts). I trust a few sites like this one.

      Having two relatives who are brainwashed (one CNN and the other Alex Jones conspiracy) I like to be able to argue with both until they stop talking to me for a while.

      I seek alternate views and you can find them on Twitter (even the crazy ones). Lately I’m paying attention to the Twitter AI and how it loads my feed. For example I watched a single Shapiro video post and for days, all I saw was Ben in my feed.

      Twitter skews hard left so to Kate’s point it really has become an increasingly lefty crying pillow.

    2. I never go to twitter unless some has a link for something of interest, and lately they block access.

  10. I’m disappointed the Buffalo Party didn’t blow away expectations but I’m a realist and knew what the outcome would be more or less. I don’t understand how the marxists ever thought they had a legitimate chance. I think they’re lucky they only lost two seats.

  11. Love James Woods wit on twitter alecincgy, follow DJT for the great ads and lefty tweaking ,but I’ve never bothered with the “Femme Fidel” of Canada’s spew. I’m thinking it might make me spew.

  13. There was a great venn diagram of that after the 2016 disconnect.
    Politicians,chattering class inside one bubble with the thinest of intersect with normal peoples concerns bubble.
    Our effete elites are so focuses on what concerns them(maintaining the kleptocracy) that they have no idea what the taxpayer faces.
    Trump will be reelected in a week cause he is addressing the bubble the wankerati cannot see.
