Stunning. Just when you think that things can't possibly get stupider....
Ben Domenech: So @amazon announcing that it will no longer sell books with "material we deem inappropriate or offensive" makes me wonder if they'll start with The Bible, The Koran, or The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

FACEBOOK DID IT AGAIN!
I created my new page about a week ago, and with roughly 5 total posts, it has been deleted.
No politics, just a few funny posts my kids sent me. Censorship at its finest, spread the word!

Guys it’s crazy in Houston right now. We haven’t had power since this morning and it’s below freezing. I just fought through a mob of cars to refill gas, and now I’m standing in a long line outside of Home Depot trying to buy a generator. These idiots aren’t letting us all in due to COVID restrictions, but at this rate I guarantee the cold will kill us before the virus.
