The Babylon Bee is a victim of corporate cancel culture… again. Over the weekend, the Babylon Bee revealed to supporters that its internal email service was recently CANCELED without explanation. The company believes that its satirical political messages rubbed its service provider the wrong way.

But it isn’t just large organizations, celebrities, and big names that suffer the bigotry of being canceled. It’s ordinary people, like all of us, against whom bigots wield their power and authority to ensure those in opposition are silenced for differing views. There is no thought or empathy given to those they hurt in their wave of unjust cancellation.

America is founded on free speech. That right shouldn’t be compromised. Stop the bigotry of cancelation.

Will the Inflation Reduction Act Make Energy Cheaper?

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is spending $368 billion of taxpayer funds on a variety of “climate and clean energy” initiatives.

Other studies found that, over the next 10 years, the IRA policies could result in 900,000 lost jobs, an annual GDP reduction of 1.2%, and a drop in average household income by roughly $1,200.

Virginia Parents Sue Over Bias in Special Education Hearings

For all children, a well-suited education is the key to future success. Virginia parents have joined forces to file a class action lawsuit against the state’s Department of Education and Fairfax County Public Schools for historically ruling against children with disabilities in due process cases.

Social Media Has a “Voluntary” Censorship Problem

As social media companies increasingly act at the behest of politicians, the threshold for censorship becomes harder to define. Americans should be wary of the bipartisan effort to combat “Big Tech” and its effects on constitutionally-protected speech.
