News from the USA you need to know today. What a load of SchiffDemocrat Adam "I’ve got my eyes on you" Schiff wants big tech to let governments continue to censor content.New York Post columnist Miranda Devine reports Schiff was on CNN "to issue barely veiled threats to Elon Musk for trying to restore free speech on Twitter."Schiff, best known for promoting the false "Russia collusion" conspiracy against President Trump, complained his problem now is the failure of social media companies to moderate content.His real problem is the Constitution forbids the US government from censoring ordinary speech, but private social media organizations can, which is what government officials, including the FBI, arranged to have happen.Schiff threatened that social media companies soon may not have "immunity from responsibility and liability," if they do pursue free speech on their platforms."In other words,” says Devine, “keep policing free speech as an arm of the federal government or watch your business go up in smoke."She called Schiff a calculated propagandist, “who lies under oath as easily as breathing, and knowingly peddles misinformation to Congress and to media outlets, whose gullible hosts keep bringing him back on their shows to mislead their audiences.”One wonders how he became overseer of the US ‘intelligence’ agencies.Ales well that ends wellThe Florida International University Golden Panthers footballers have just four winning seasons since 2004, which has had their fans crying in their beers.But now, they’re about to get Rowdy.Rowdy Beers that is, who made a commitment this week to join the squad, after playing tight end and defensive line at the high school level."All glory to God!!

Some areas, especially around the Great Lakes, could see winds whipping with wind gusts up to 60 or 70 miles per hour.”Several weather folks in the USA say the storm is “coming down from Canada” but Canadians can take cold comfort in the knowledge it’s really coming over from Russia.No Joe, Dominic was her grandfather.In a gaffe-filled speech to US veterans, President Joe Biden said he had “married Dominic Giacoppa’s daughter, “So, you know, I got a little Italian in me now, you know?"And while he was at it, he insulted the Irish.Jill Biden's father is Donald Carl Jacobs from Hammonton, New Jersey. Jill's grandfather is Domenic Giacoppo.Also, during the speech, Biden either made a gaffe or outright lied about how his uncle received the Purple Heart Award, given to American servicemen and women who are wounded in battle.“You know, my dad, when I got elected vice president, he said, ‘Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge,’” said the president. “‘And he won the Purple Heart. And he never received it. He never got it. Do you think you could help him get it? We’ll surprise him.’”“So we got him the Purple Heart and I remember he came over to the house, and I came out, and my dad said, ‘Present it to him, okay?’”I said, “Uncle Frank, you won this. And I want to... he said ‘I don’t want the damn thing.’ I’m serious. He said, ‘I don’t want it.'”I said, "What’s the matter, Uncle Frank? You earned it. He said, 'Yeah, but the others died. The others died. I lived. I don’t want it.’"Problem is Biden’s father, Joseph R. Biden Sr., died on Sept. 2, 2002. Joe Biden officially became vice president on Jan. 20, 2009.Forbes reported, "There doesn't appear to be any record of Biden giving his uncle the honor—the president hasn't mentioned the story in the past, there have been no news articles written about it and Frank Biden's name does not appear on a list of recipients held by the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor."
