Chuck on the right side
THIS IS A BLOG THAT TRIES TO APPEAL TO THE AVERAGE CONSERVATIVE CITIZEN AND HAS NO AGENDA OTHER THAN TELLING THE TRUTH AS WE SEE IT.
Why are the “woke” media platforms today having such a hard time getting subscribers and making a profit? Both CNN+ and Netflix are either halting production or losing loads of money from lost subscribers. It seems that “cancel culture” is starting to eat its own. Social media started out as a platform to offer “free speech” to the masses, but as the executives of these companies became “woke”, users realized they were being manipulated and recruited by the Marxist/Socialist cabal who run these leftist platforms.
Now, we have the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, who claims to be a “Libertarian”, has purchased “Twitter” for $46 billion with the stated purpose of giving Americans a platform to express themselves without being censored. This is the same company that banned a sitting president, Donald Trump, from using their platform because they didn't like him, his views, and what he tweeted. With Musk's announcement, the left is going crazy, attacking Musk, which is laughable on its merits. The social media platforms have had a monopoly on the dissemination of political views – only left-wing political views (a/k/a Democrat views) seem to be promoted and right-wing views are the one's being censored. The 2020 election was a perfect example of how these social media giants used their platforms to censor speech, especially that of Donald Trump and his followers. It was one-way censorship – against conservative views and thoughts. As private companies they had the right to manage their platforms without government intervention. Purporting to be "champions of free speech," these tech giants were given certain government benefits when they were created. However, the time is ripe to rein in their benefits and their 'right' to stifle free speech. Even entertainment companies, like Disney, have jumped on the “woke” bandwagon by outwardly proclaiming they will actively move against the State of Florida, as they perceive recent laws passed by the Florida legislature and signed by Gov. DeSantis, are anti-LGBTQ. In response to Disney entering into politics, the State of Florida and Gov. DeSantis, have passed a law depriving Disney of the sweetheart deal that was put in place in the 1960's, giving Disney autonomy over the land that their theme park sits on. I guess Disney found someone (Gov. DeSantis) who is willing to stand up to their “woke” statements about how Florida should conduct their business. I'm sure the Disney shareholders are not too happy with the way Disney executives have handled this situation. On the downside of the “woke” culture, the company called Netflix, which the aforementioned Elon Musk, has stated that Netflix has been infected with the “woke mind virus”, the company has lost over 200,000 subscribers between January and March of this year. The public seems to be rebelling against the political views of this high tech company and others who promote the “woke” culture. Just recently, that virulently anti-Trump cable channel, CNN, spent over $300 million in an attempt to start a new streaming outlet called CNN+. It opened up at the end of March to much fanfare, but by the end of April it will be shutting down due to its meager subscriber base of only 10,000. Much to their chagrin, they had to let go of hundreds of newly hired employees. Again, the public seems to be telling these “woke” companies that their indoctrination days are over and that free speech should not be censored. Instead, the free and open exchange of ideas should be the rule and NOT the exception. So, the writing is on the wall, if a company gets “woke” they'll most likely go broke.

Are we living in an alternate universe? Listening to Biden and his Homeland Security Secretary, you'd think what should be up is down and should be down is up. We are also told that there are more than two sexes, that the southern border is closed to illegal immigration, and drug and human smuggling, and that our economy is booming even though during the last quarter we had a negative 1.4% of the GDP.. These lunatics running the government (the Democrats) are not "woke" in the true sense of the word, they are delusional. The rascals must be thrown out and sanity must return in our government to save our republic.
