My Column: How to handle unruly college protests
With the end of the Spring semester rapidly approaching, you’d think college students would be focused on final exams, securing summer jobs or internships, and graduation. But around the country, many college students have now…
My dad took this photo of Ronald Reagan, and the story’s kind of wild.
Reagan was in Tallahassee, Florida when he was seeking the Republican nomination for President in 1976.
My dad went to the event as a college student because he wanted to hear Reagan speak and photograph…

The banning of Alex Jones in the first place was what first taught Twitter that they could get away with banning anyone for any speech they didn’t like. He could be subject to the same hateful content policy you mentioned and still have a voice on this app.
@PeterHotez
Peter, you’re clearly a coward.
Just say, “No thank you. I’m not interested in debating
@RobertKennedyJr

@joerogan
’s question you’re making yourself look really, really bad.
Put down the shovel, man.
@CanAditude
There are no words for how deeply evil and tyrannical this is. This is the kind of State overreach nightmare we had hoped had died with the authoritarian regimes of the past. But it’s come back. “The spirit of Sauron endured.”
@CNNPolitics
It’s disgusting the way the corporate press serves as the propaganda wing for endless war. End the war now. Bring our troops home to their families. Every single one of them. Today.
@ZelenskyyUa
You’re attempting to generate a false flag event to lure NATO into your war. In addition to being a dictator, you’re willing to risk a nuclear exchange between the U.S. and Russia with your lies. I feel badly for your people for having to endure your awful leadership.
@yoyoel
Yoel, did you ever suspend or ban anyone for celebrating the brutal attack on Senator Rand Paul by his neighbor that left him with half a lung? Because anytime I’ve ever searched the phrase “rand paul neighbor” on Twitter, I can scroll through pages and pages of that filth.
@nypost
It’s time people considered that masks aren’t effective at preventing COVID spread, particularly the kind that most people are wearing. Leave it at home. Smile at your neighbors instead. It’ll do us all a world of good.
@richardbranson
The rest of us would never have to.
This isn't 1939, Russia isn't Nazi Germany, and Putin isn't Hitler.
You are welcome to voluntarily contribute from your vast wealth to help the Ukrainians fight.
You are not welcome to demand that the rest of us contribute against our will.
@elonmusk
It’s not a tax. Taxes are imposed by the State and enforced up to and including prison if you fail to pay them. The App Store is a voluntary arrangement between Apple and willing developers. The penalty for failure to pay this commission is exclusion from the App Store.
@Acosta
You’re really wearing that shirt, one you specifically picked out that day knowing you’d be photographed in it, and you wonder why your profession is held in contempt by the public.
@TheLaurenChen
Imperial Japan of that era was brutal and evil, but they were also subjected to U.S. war crimes through U.S. firebombing campaigns and of course the use of nuclear weapons on open cities. We can acknowledge that both things are true.
@KirkHerbstreit
1) You have a position of great power in the industry that undoubtedly influences (even if indirectly) the committee members.
2) Every human being is biased, and you're no different.
3) Given the close relationship between the CFP, ESPN, and the SEC, it's reasonable to question…
@nathaliejacoby1
It’s not a serious question. It’s bait to get likes and retweets from unthinking progressive boomers. It’s also not an original thought from you as this nonsense gets tossed around frequently by lefty clout-chasers.
@onesarahjones
This is one of my favorite Simpsons jokes, and I laugh out loud every time Chief Wiggum replies very seriously, “The baby looked at you?”
Nevertheless, it would seem this story had been confirmed from multiple sources, so your dismissal looks silly.
He’s unquestionably right here.
Feel however you want to feel about Trump, but he’s not a man of principle, and there’s a massive cult of personality surrounding him.
(And no, he didn’t call all Trump supporters “listless vessels,” he’s calling Americans to more than that.)
@TrumpWarRoom
Guys, no one buys this attempt to paint Ron DeSantis as a big lock down Governor.
These kind of attacks make me less likely to support Trump.
@GavinNewsom
Gavin, I live in Tennessee. People are moving here from California in droves to get away from your terrible policies. Thanks for the bump in home value, my guy.

@CommunityNotes
Bring Alex Jones back.
Has he said some goofy, incorrect stuff? Yes.
Has he stood against every war for the last twenty plus years? Also yes.
@wildforcongress
@RepThomasMassie
Congresswoman Wild, if you don’t feel like you can fulfill the duties of your office, please resign. Thousands of your constituents have been going to work in person for the last year. Step up, or step down.
This meme really captures something that a lot of people are feeling right now.
That "Rich Men North of Richmond" song really hit on it as well.
There's a growing sense that, despite some obvious technical advances, we're not as great as we once were as a nation.
@RepAdamSchiff
You’ve gotten to mislead the American public for the last several years while the Twitter moderators have run cover for you. Now you’re afraid those days are coming to an end.
Yep. This question has been on my mind too. Everyone is doing death rate math based on number of confirmed cases. But what if the real number of cases is double that or more? (Yes, this is all idle uninformed musing on my part, but worth considering.)
@AlexBerenson
This is mean-spirited and wrong, and it’s earning you an unfollow. Appreciate your work pushing back against the vaccine agenda, but gonna bounce. Alex Jones has his flaws, but he’s been rock solid on opposing war and the regime.
@JackPosobiec
I truly don’t understand how they’re going to sync that up. Why would Leia say, “General Kenobi, years ago you served my father during the Clone Wars…” when she apparently could have just said, “Hey, remember a few years ago when you rescued me from kidnappers?”
@elonmusk
@SystemUpdate_
Sadly, I believe this is a naive view of the role of the CIA.
The CIA often operates independently of the policies of the executive branch, and actively works at times to undermine them (no matter which President we're talking about).
The CIA should be abolished.
@RyLiberty
You demonstrate how hopelessly biased you are with a topic when your analysis of the various motivations is “my side are all innocent angels and their side are all partisans and grifters.”
This. It may be that everything going on in Arizona and Nevada is on the up and up. But when Florida can announce results same night, it makes people suspicious that shenanigans are going on in these Western states.
This is about as low as I've seen a Trump surrogate go. This only has the effect Raheem wants it to have if you don't actually listen to the audio.
I don't follow Chris Nelson or know anything about him, but just by listening to the audio in Raheem's piece it's clear Nelson is…
All my life I’ve felt strongly about many things but this one thing in particular: I’m always right. Now I can fulfill my calling and do what I’m meant to do, what the world needs me to do. Justice will finally prevail.
@Cernovich
I don’t believe that protest is usually a wise form of political action.
Plus, if you believe that second and third trimester abortion is murder, the same question could be asked of you.
Why draw an arbitrary line of when it’s appropriate to feel moral outrage about the unjust…
@TuckerCarlson
The media landscape just shifted. They might not realize it yet, but this is an earthquake in the traditional news and political commentary world.
@AIPAC
"I don't have dual loyalties!" protests organization trying to leverage Congress to send billions of dollars to a specific foreign country in furtherance of its war efforts.
@atrupar
But it's not going to die, and you're stuck here because you rely on the reach of this platform despite hating its owner, and despite the diminished reach you now have now that you no longer have protected privileges you had under the old Twitter regime.
@Cernovich
I favored DeSantis over Trump, but I’ve never been Never Trump.
The DeSantis influencers who can’t let go are all Never Trump.
They’re going to remain bitter and salty all year.
@KirkHerbstreit
Kirk, you lost the respect of the entire FSU fanbase.
Not some “lunatic fringe.”
Your on-air politicking on behalf of Alabama likely contributed to the playoff committee snubbing FSU.
This will not be easily forgotten by FSU fans.
@elonmusk
@JoeBiden
“Listen, fat.”
Honestly it would be more fun if they turned the real Biden loose on this app.
Letting the interns tweet talking points in his name is lame.
@ggreenwald
I don’t mean to be uncharitable, but I think it’s been clear for a long time that Wil struggles with mental illness, mostly stemming from an all-too-typical Hollywood story of being pressured by his parents to go far in an unhealthy industry.
@RickWarren
Rick, regardless of where you fall on the issue of complimentarianism or egalitarianism, you've known throughout the entire time that Saddleback was an SBC member what the denomination's stance is. This type of public mockery is unseemly.
@RexChapman
This is sick, Rex. You need to step away from Twitter for a good long while. This is not what a good person says to his 1.2 million followers.
@mtgreenee
Marjorie, we don’t expect any of that stuff under McCarthy anyway. Or at least nothing beyond “just a show.” You’re embarrassing yourself. You’ve sold yourself out to someone who wants to continue funneling money to Ukraine. Repent.
@StephenKing
@ShellenbergerMD
People, he’s not walking away from a direct communications pipeline to 7 million followers. He’ll virtue signal all day long about how evil Elon Musk is, but that’s all it is.

I love that you think that you of all people have the moral standing to clutch pearls about anything someone says on Twitter.
@theintercept
@ryangrim
And their voter base will cheer them for it. Then they’ll turn around and decry any Republican attempts to do the same once they’re in power again. And round and round the wheel of power and outrage turns.
@JoeBiden
Dude, no one buys this. You’re just coming across as detached from and indifferent to the what regular Americans are going through. If you’re trying to prime the red wave, keep going.
@mtgreenee
If you’re in a townhome or condo it could have been a neighbor who accidentally tried to AirPlay to the wrong TV. Really easy for that to happen if there are a lot of nearby devices.
Woody Harrelson’s entire monologue was hilarious, but yes this was an amazing moment.
And the New York City audience didn’t know what to do during this segment.
The Left used to (rightly) look suspiciously at Big Pharma. Now Big Pharma is holy to them.
@NBCNews
Remember when Biden refused to answer whether or not he would pack the court if elected? He knew that answering “yes” would harm his chances of getting elected. But this was his plan all along.
@Totally_Brandon
I think it’s true that there’s really something to the physiognomy thing while simultaneously true that it’s often carried to extremes or misapplied.
Your first example isn’t the strongest one as both of those gentlemen look pretty similar.
@TGC
Do you find nothing for the church to celebrate in the knowledge that millions of innocent image-bearers will be saved from murder in the womb? Are you so afraid of offending the world that you can’t shout to our God in praise for this miraculous grace?
@RossDellenger
What's ridiculous is a major sport deciding which teams make its playoff by having 13 people, some with tenuous ties to the sport, deliberate behind closed doors with no accountability to decide which teams are in and how they're seeded.
@PatMcAfeeShow
@KirkHerbstreit
Again,
@KirkHerbstreit
is re-iterating a point FSU fans have been making all week:
The season doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters under this sham of an arrangement is impressing 13 people plus the ESPN talking heads like Kirk himself in the final game of the season.
@Karasite22
He didn’t “lose a fight.” He was brutally charged from behind and had no idea the attack was coming. That’s assault, and it’s evil of you to dismiss it. Grow up.

@libsoftiktok
Keith, do you ever self-assess and ask yourself if this constant anger and vulgar language is healthy for yourself or conducive to healthy discussion of important issues?
@MaxBoot
Reminder that Max Boot literally wants your spouse, your children, and your great great grandchildren to serve in his war in Afghanistan and he’s doing his best to remove any possibility of it ending by soullessly employing propaganda in its service. Reject this monster.

@MattWalshBlog
Every time I ask a pro-mandatory mask person why they didn’t demand that people wear masks in 2017-2018 when the flu killed 80,000 Americans they can never give me a clear answer and just wind up abandoning the conversation.
