My latest in PJ Media:
The long-expected announcement finally came on Wednesday: Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) unveiled its plan to “create a rival to the liberal media consortium and fight back against the ‘Big Tech’ companies of Silicon Valley, which have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America.” TMTG’s TRUTH Social plans a beta launch next month, followed by a nationwide rollout early next year.
Former President Trump, who is described in the press release as the Chairman of TMTG, commented:
I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced. This is unacceptable. I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon. TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all. I’m excited to soon be sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech. Everyone asks me why someone doesn’t stand up to Big Tech? Well, we will be soon!
TRUTH Social’s nascent website states: “TRUTH Social is America’s ‘Big Tent’ social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating against political ideology.”
Wait, there’s more than just a social media platform: “Additionally, TMTG intends to launch a subscription video-on-demand service (TMTG+). TMTG+ will feature ‘non-woke’ entertainment programming, news, podcasts, and more.”
The TMTG site, which proclaims “Trump Media & Technology Group: A Uniting Force For Freedom of Expression/No Political Discrimination/Canceling Cancel Culture/Standing Up to Big Tech,” explains:
In the year 2021, the media pendulum has swung dangerously far to the left. Silicon Valley, the mainstream media, and Big Tech have begun to forcibly silence voices that do not align with their woke ideology. Big Tech platforms demonetize, throttle, and cancel those who stray from the mainstream narrative. They are not just censoring content – they are determining what can and cannot be said. By controlling how information is shared, they control the narrative. They control the future. They control you. To counter this dangerous exercise of Big Tech monopoly power, President Donald J. Trump and TMTG are building a media and technology company rooted in social media, digital streaming, and more. TMTG intends to even the playing field by providing people with open media platforms where they can share and create content without fear of reputational ruin. Join us.
Given the social media giants’ increasing taste for authoritarianism and its silencing of voices that dissent from the Leftist agenda, including even the mildest questioning of the propriety of the 2020 election or the effectiveness of the COVID vaccines, a new social media platform is urgently needed. But the new social media platform must do more than just exist as an alternative to Twitter and the rest: it has to become widely popular, popular enough to bring about the drastic weakening of the power and influence of the social media giants that are so arrogantly exercising control over the American public discourse today.
There is more. Read the rest here.

here in Canada, I spend a lot of time in the GTHA which is likely more “Diverse” than even NYC or anywhere else worldwide..!!
99% of the those I talk with, people of every ethnic religious or other persuasion, universally loathe & detest the fiberal libtard delusional duplicitous immoral imbecile hypocrite jihadstin castro turdeau whose egregious malfeasance has literally bankrupted our once respectable now disgraceful nation.
Even among impressionable gullible inexperienced youth one must search deep within the lunatic leftwing spewniversity echo chambers to find anyone so stupefied (usually drug-addled) who buys into the fibtard propaganda of the fakenews pseudoscience phoney “climate emergency” CarbonTaxFraud SCAM, the unsubstantiated divisive “racism/isLIEmaphobia” mythology,
the draconian dicktatorial assault on liberty of kungflu lockdowns & absurd vax-passports,
the constant lies corruption & embezzlement of public funds along with childishly incompetent economic mismanagement,
the blatant ‘woke’ hypocrisy & insulting immorality,
and the paid-off lamescream media LIARS (cbc quacks helped themselves to $1.5 BILLION of taxpayer’s hard earned dollars last year alone to spew their unsustainable heavily-biased onesided leftwing extremist satanist rhetoric assault on Decency CommonSense & Traditional Values).
It is CLEAR that virtually no one, single digit % of Canadians at most, voted for the fiberal libtard evil clowns.
turdface castro’s litany of criminal misconduct & outright fraud would require encyclopedic volumes to document in it’s entirety but notable lows are the $1Billion WE scandal siphoning taxdollars to ‘child’ realty speculators,
the snc lavscam obstruction-of-justice shielding turd’s crooked québécois campaign contributors including cancelling turd’s virtue-signal hire Native Female Crown Attorney Jody Wilson Raybould who refused to conspire with turd’s criminal misconduct,
and dozens of his minions engaging in offensive outright TREASON such as maryam monsef referring to the taliban sociopath perverts as her “brothers”…!!!!
And to add insult to injury turdface fawns & adulates beneath his commie chinese dicktator overlords while militantly promoting “women’s rights” as evil greedy kill4cash sociopath abortionists coercing vulnerable Mothers into crushing the skulls of their innocent defenceless harmless Children alive in the womb..!!!
DISGUSTING.
Lastly, the infamous “dominion voting machines” were shamelessly spawned here in Canada with commie chinese software….
And day after day, year after year, the lamescream media, social media platforms & big-tech oligarchs do NOTHING to publicize the Truth & Facts while doing everything to censor & cancel anything that conflicts with all this incorrigible malfeasance.
Great to hear that PRESIDENT Trump is now offering our World’s DIVERSE Overwhelming Moral Majority an Honest Honourable Platform from which to expose the evil sinister tyranny of the LYING leftwing ENEMIES of Modern Western Prosperous Civilized Free Decent Christian/Judeo Society….
God Bless President Trump…!!!!!!

I take it that you hold a few strong opinions.
I wonder how representative that 99% is when Trudeau keeps winning elections. Perhaps they’re dyslectic and keep Xing the wrong boxes.
P.S. I don’t like Trudeau any more than you do and fear he’ll continue to win as long as the PCs keep committing political hari-kari, a skill they have perfected.
jmac says
yes Rarely, airhead o’fool & co. ostracized Maxime Bernier who’s PPC Party then split the conservative vote costing 26 seats to be lost to the fiberal malfeasants…
26 More Consrvative & 26 less funerals would’ve ridded us of turdeau and provided a Consevative minority government.
It’s also clear & obvious that the election results were fraudulent courtesy of the dominion voting machines…. but docile Canadians are oblivious..!!!
Rarely says
Stolen election???? The voting machines did it?????
We didn’t use voting machines so quite a trick.
Still believe the world’s flat do you?
Infidel says
First-past-the-post does ensure that as long as one party is more evenly spread out and has followers in more places all over the country, it’s possible for a minority party to come to power. Actually, first-past-the-post does seem a variation of the electoral college in the US
However, I think it’s simplistic to think that had Max Bernier not been in the fray, that the Conservatives would automatically have gotten all the votes that his party got. One is assuming that nobody would have sat out the election in disgust. I will vote next week in the Virginia elections, and I’ve researched who my HOD candidate is, as well as the other ticket leaders, and only based on that am I voting GOP. Had someone like Barbara Comstock been one of my candidates, I’d have left her slot blank
Infidel says
TMTG+ should consider including social media sites like Rumble, Gettr, Gab and Parler under its umbrella, so that an ecosystem builds up for people who wanna dodge the cancel culture

I’m constantly amazed that the best a country of 330,000,000+ people can come up with are Biden and Trump. I prefer Trump’s policies to Biden’s but Trump certainly has problems with the facts.
jmac says
yes Rarely,
there are certainly more palatable candidates available, Nikki Haley,
Kristi Noem, Candace Owens, Denzel Washington, Larry Elder, John Voight, Herschel Walker…..
Rarely says
You forgot Fred Flintstone.
But seriously I’m surprised the US can’t to do better.
