Twitter is treating some of its customers like children because it can. The company lost money every year since 2013, when it went public, until 2018, when it turned a profit of $1.2 billion. The service has about 126 million daily users.
For Murray Rothbard, the history of National Review was largely a story of exclusion. “And so the purges began,” Rothbard recounted in a 1992 article. “One after another, Buckley and the National Review purged
and excommunicated all the radicals, all the nonrespectables. Consider
the roll call: isolationists (such as John T. Flynn), anti-Zionists,
libertarians, Ayn Randians, the John Birch Society, and all those who
continued, like the early National Review, to dare to oppose Martin Luther King and the civil-rights revolution after Buckley had changed and decided to embrace it.”
That
policy of excommunication continued to the present. Over the years, the
magazine has fired or stopped publishing figures like Joseph Sobran (an
editor who should have been fired for his anti-Semitism and racism but was not let go until criticizing Buckley in 1993), Peter Brimelow (an editor who was excessively anti-immigrant) and Ann Coulter (who was fired in 2001 after writing a column arguing saying that the United States should “invade [Muslim] countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity”).
The world is beginning to wake up to the fact that virtually every

That’s why countries like Israel, Spain, Italy and Taiwan have already
banned transplant tourism.

An unbelievably lame one from NBC featuring a gay storm chaser who proposes during a tornado (death wish much?), and one from the Advocate featuring supposedly gay Philippine President Duterte, whose regime has encouraged violence in the extra-judicial killings of thousands of drug pushers.
