Trump vows to strip ‘radical left’ of ‘TOTAL COMMAND’ over FB, IG, Twitter & Google
President Donald Trump has vowed to break the “radical left’s” apparent control of social media platforms. Earlier, the president thanked his “keyboard warriors” for their support, as they accused the tech firms of censorship.
“The Radical Left is in total command & control of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Google,” Trump tweeted on Saturday. “The Administration is working to remedy this illegal situation. Stay tuned, and send names & events.”

Trump was replying directly to Michelle Malkin, a controversial right-wing pundit and opponent of Big Tech censorship. When Trump gave a shout-out to his legions of online supporters on Friday – referring to them as his “keyboard warriors” – Malkin said that right-wingers are still being “ruthlessly purged from the internet,” and asked that the president “maybe do something before it’s too late?”
Hello @realdonaldtrump - Nice words about "Keyboard Warriors," but they are being ruthlessly purged from the Internet while you "monitor the situation." Maybe do something before it's too late? https://t.co/9tj4eQ4rOG

Conservatives have long maintained that Silicon Valley firms have it in for them. The ‘deplatforming’ of prominent conservative figures like InfoWars host Alex Jones and ‘Proud Boys’ founder Gavin McInnes substantiate their claims of bias, as do leaks, reports, and admissions revealing a left-wingbias among executives at Google, Twitter, and Facebook.
These same arguments have been made by fringe leftists too, who accuse the platforms of censoring anything that goes against the status quo, regardless of partisan politics.

Trump fires US State Department inspector general Steve Linick, believed to be probing Mike Pompeo
The Obama-era appointee was appointed to oversee the State Department, and played a small role in Trump’s impeachment saga last year
A Democratic lawmaker said Linick was investigating Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and accused Trump of a potentially illegal act of retribution
US President Donald Trump fired State Department Inspector General Steve Linick late on Friday, with the ousting leading to heavy criticism from senior Democratic lawmakers, including House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Trump said in a letter to Pelosi that he no longer had confidence in the inspector general’s ability to serve, though he did not give the reason for his loss of confidence.
“This is to advise that I am exercising my power as President to remove from office the Inspector General of the Department of State, effective 30 days from today,” he said.

Rwanda’s top fugitive who ‘financed’ genocide arrested in Paris after 25 years on the run
French authorities said the wealthy businessman had been hiding in Paris under a false name, with the complicity of his children
Financial documents found after the genocide indicated Felicien Kabuga used his companies to import vast amounts of machetes which were used to slaughter people
France on Saturday arrested Felicien Kabuga, one of the last key fugitives wanted over 1994 Rwandan genocide, leaving him facing a likely trial at an international tribunal after a quarter of a century on the run.
Kabuga, once one of Rwanda’s richest men, was living under a false identity in the Paris suburbs, the public prosecutor’s office and police said in a joint statement.
Agents swooped on his home at dawn, finding an 84-year-old man “who has been sought by the judicial authorities for 25 years”, the statement said.
Around 800,000 people – Tutsis but also moderate Hutus – were slaughtered over 100 days by ethnic Hutu extremists during the 1994 genocide.

Norwegian state TV promotes a hijab-wearing woman on promo ad for Constitution Day
Norwegian state broadcaster NRK has angered many by promoting the hijab in a commercial for Norway’s soon-to-be celebrated Constitution Day.
Some Norwegians are outraged after the broadcaster, in a promotional ad for Norway’s national day of independence on May 17th, featured a woman in a hijab standing next to the Norwegian flag.
“Is promoting a hijab in line with NRK’s mission? Hijab stands for something else than what we are celebrating wrote Jan Otto Viken from Resett Norway
This isn’t the first time NRK has prompted widespread anger during their coverage of Constitution Day. In 2015, the broadcaster feature the Norwegian flag without the cross so as not to offend any religious minorities.

VIDEO: LILLEY: Ford ignores the million unemployed as he dithers on pandemic
If Ontario Premier Doug Ford needs more reasons to open up sooner, cautiously but sooner, then I’ll give them to him. In fact, I’ll give Ford 1.1 million reasons and counting for why he needs to get his focus onto Ontario’s economic recovery.
They are called the unemployed and it is a growing class of people in desperate need of help. A new report out of Queen’s Park lays out the state of things

The sun has entered a ‘lockdown’ period, which could cause freezing weather, famine
Our sun has gone into lockdown, which could cause freezing weather, earthquakes and famine, scientists say.
The sun is currently in a period of “solar minimum,” meaning activity on its surface has fallen dramatically.
Experts believe we are about to enter the deepest period of sunshine “recession” ever recorded as sunspots have virtually disappeared.
Astronomer Dr. Tony Phillips said: “Solar Minimum is underway and it’s a deep one.”
“Sunspot counts suggest it is one of the deepest of the past century. The sun’s magnetic field has become weak, allowing extra cosmic rays into the solar system.”

Malaysia drops 1MDB money laundering case against Wolf of Wall Street producer
Malaysian prosecutors have dropped a $US248 million ($384.4 million) money laundering case against a producer of Hollywood film The Wolf of Wall Street and the stepson of former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak, citing a deal for an undisclosed amount of funds to be paid to the government.
Riza Aziz, the co-founder of Red Granite Productions, which was behind the 2013 Oscar-nominated film, was charged with five counts of money laundering last year over allegations that he had received $US248 million misappropriated from state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
US and Malaysian authorities say about $US4.5 billion was looted from 1MDB, co-founded in 2009 by then-prime minister Najib.
