The 'Hemingway of 140 characters' has lost his favorite bullhorn.
President Donald Trump has many prized possessions. But few seemed to inspire as much personal joy as his Twitter feed. Trump routinely boasted of the social media bullhorn he possessed. He credited it with launching his political trajectory. And he used it as a tool to lacerate his foes.
On Friday night, he lost it. And, then, he lost his mind.
The president is “ballistic,” a senior administration official said after Twitter permanently took down his account, citing the possibility that it would be used in the final 12 days of Trump’s presidency to incite violence. The official said Trump was “scrambling to figure out what his options are.”

WNU Editor: I do not know the accuracy of the above post. Politico has a long history of not being accurate when it comes to Trump. But I do know how President Trump must have felt when he learned that his account was closed.
About five years ago I woke up in the morning and with a cup of coffee in my hand I sat down to log onto WNU and start posting some stuff. I then discovered that WNU was closed/suspended/cancelled/gone by Google Blogger.
To say that I was furious and upset is an understatement.
At the time I had done about 70,000 posts over 8 years, and I had a lot of info on the blog that was useful and valuable to me. Spent the next few hours scrambling around trying to find out what happened, looking at my options, and swearing at the computer screen.
After 6 hours I got an email from Google saying that it was a mistake, and my account was restored within a few minutes.
So yes.
I know how President Trump feels.
Since yesterday I have received a few emails and inquiries on what would I do if Google Blogger should decide to close down WNU. I do have a backup set up that I set up last summer when I learned about this .... It Appears That Google Has A Black List Of Conservative Sites (War News Updates Is On The List) (July 22, 2020).
In the event that WNU is shut down, check out my Facebook or Twitter page and there will be a link on where to go.
My goal is to eventually activate this back-up site and make it WNU's permanent home page independent from the whims of Google and others. My goal is to have this done around March or April.

Losing the right to post is the equivalent of being sent to the camps. Everyone knows this.
This why you must volunteer for Russ's militia. He's a victim too, you know.
It is way, way past time that conservatives found alternative outlets. Personally, I avoid joining ANY AND ALL social media sites--which I consider dangerous at best (buncha jack boot group-think platforms), but y'all need to consider prtubf your lips from the teet for long enough to think about what these sites represent. Bottom line: they ALL operate according to the same capitalistic principles they claim to loathe...in other words, it's ALWAYS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. Find alternative sites and give em a good hard kick right in the balls.

Funny I did actually type colossal and erased it before replacing it with garden variety. We can assume that the government or a hacker group is here.

Yeah Lefties cannot argue based facts, truth or ideas, so they resort to name calling, psy ops and infiltration.
Well, I left Facebook 3 days ago and OH MY GOD I don't miss it. Stress of how should I respond, watching one time friends shred each apart, who gives a a damn!
There were maybe 3 people out of like 200 friends (before defriending) that I could actually call if I needed something! There were maybe 3 people out of like 200 friends (before defriending) that I could actually call if I needed something! I can access any groups through their websites.
Also blocked my 3rd brother text (56 years old) and phone calls. Typical Dem....watches CNN all day, has Trump Derangement Syndrome, lives with mommy, hasn't worked since the great recession in 2009, all his 401K money is nearly gone after 10 years, complains about paying taxes on it.. Lives off mommys money. Mind you the loser never a paid a mortgage, never rented an apartment and has never made a car payment. When my dementia ridden aunt died he drove off with her car to. Still has it. I use too send him money to help out, when there's no check in the mailbox that's me!
