I might start referring to “X” as “EX. “

My ex-wife also loved to tell people what to think.

I saw you on Bill Maher. I have a question nobody ever asks. If immigrants can’t turn their own countries into a place they can stand living in, how are they going to save ours?

Reality hits us in the face again.

More reasons why I'm glad that I've never used Twitter but I AM subscribed to Ann's Substack!

I don't even bother with Twitter or most social media. Aside from the constant drain on concentration, mob mentality is strong on those platforms. And they are obviously not immune to censorship. I prefer to read books or lengthy articles.

I got a Twitter account long after Elon took over. You were one of my first follows. I rarely see your stuff. :/

Ironically, there's an incredible analysis of the establishment censorship mechanism on Twitter right now, leaving little doubt that the 2020 election was rigged in advance (Twitter, like other establishment media, was under the thumb of the national security state):

"Ep. 75 The national security state is the main driver of censorship and election interference in the United States. 'What I’m describing is military rule,' says Mike Benz. 'It’s the inversion of democracy.'"

It's so frustrating! Thankfully, everyone has the app to view our posts -- old fashioned email!

I just watched most of the Bill Maher show tonight... and had to quit right before I hurled my remote control into the TV. Thank you so much for trying to "speak truth to power" which in this case is the live audience programmed to be so progressive. Maher's old show Politically Incorrect started without a live audience, which made it better. You controlled yourself well, although Jones admitted our asylum system is being gamed.

Elon isn’t much different than the others, he’s just smarter so he knows how to package what he’s selling better. Fortunately people are catching on. But I’m grateful we have Ann on Substack either way.

My small business was the top dog on Angie's list back a few years ago and then Zippo no calls. I checked and sure enough, was buried and then found out Angie sold out to an investment company in Rosemont IL that was known as a mob town years ago and I believe found a "legit" way to make coin. They would call me and ask that we take an ad out for a service at a set amount and they wanted a 15% cut..... I recently opened a twitter account thinking Elon was "legit" WTF. Time to meet in the local cafe for morning coffee I guess. Have a Great weekend Ann

Besides Substack related reason, my Twitter friends based in Japan tell me that conservatives there are definitely still shadow banned, either by algorithm or employees manually doing it. A lot better post Elon purchase but clean up is not complete.

I've been checking Ann's follower count and it has been just under 2.1M forever.

I see plenty of your posts in the For You tab, even ones that include links to Substack.
