President Trump’s CPAC Speech

I was looking forward to this speech, but I have to be honest and admit I was disappointed. Millions of his supporters were waiting for direction and he failed to provide it. He could have challenged us to take over the Republican Party at the local level by becoming Precinct Chairmen. He could have challenged us to run for local office and to run for school boards. He could have asked us to run for state offices and for the US House. He could have asked us to be become poll watchers and poll workers.

While some may have been happy to hear President Trump talk about the 2020 election, I thought it was just old news being rehashed one more time. I was disappointed he had no new news to share, no new research that had been done, no proof to back his statements up. To me, it came across as sour grapes. If there was any benefit to anything more than a brief comment about the election, I don’t see it.

Attacking Joe Biden and the Biden administration? Probably a smart move as no one else on the Republican side can command any media time. It will probably only be played on conservative media, but at least he is on record. It would have been good if he had attacked Biden in a way that Democrats might agree with such as flooding the country with illegal immigrants having an immediate impact on jobs for working class African Americans and further stressing poor school systems.

His speech preached to the choir and maybe that is all it was intended to do. I think it froze everything in place and that was a mistake. President Trump could have mobilized 5-10 million supporters guaranteeing him control of the Republican Party and being ready for the midterms. I think he lost an opportunity to give an inspirational speech that laid out the conservative agenda for the future. He had a world-wide audience, yet he didn’t take advantage of it.

I guess it’s obvious I’m not a presidential speech writer!

“Individuals are pressured to conform to the customs, beliefs, opinions, and attitudes accepted by the majority.”
John Stuart Mills 1859

From the censorship of Google, Twitter, Facebook, and the other members of the Trusted News Initiative (TNI), to the political correctness of the left, we see things we thought would never happen in the United States. After all, our Constitution guarantees Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, Freedom to Associate, Freedom of Religion, and the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Now we see so-called news organizations banding together to censure news and opinion.

The Trusted News (TNI) Initiative partners will continue to work together to ensure legitimate concerns about future vaccinations are heard whilst harmful disinformation myths are stopped in their tracks.”
— Tim Davie, Director-General

Here’s a more complete description of TNI and their goal to stifle free speech.

The Trusted News Initiative (TNI) was set up last year to protect audiences and users from disinformation, particularly around moments of jeopardy, such as elections. The TNI complements existing programmes partners have in place.
The partners currently within the TNI are: AP, AFP; BBC, CBC/Radio-Canada, European Broadcasting Union (EBU),Facebook, Financial Times, First Draft, Google/YouTube, The Hindu, Microsoft , Reuters, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Twitter, The Washington Post.
The TNI cooperative framework has been jointly developed amongst partners, and relates to only the most serious disinformation, which threatens life or the integrity of the electoral process. This is entirely separate from and does not in any way affect the editorial stance of any partner organisation.

Here’s what we can do, but I need some help. I propose that we start posting on our sites we are not part of TNI and we support free speech. That way, as soon as you land on a site, you can see if it supports free speech.

Where I need help is my icon sucks. If someone could design a better one that would be great. If this catches on, we would need to create a policy for exactly what a free speech site is and isn’t.
