Donald J. Trump, the 45th president of the United States has passed away, or at least that's what Donald Trump Jr. Posted on social media platform X on Wednesday morning, or at least that's what his account posted. Turns out much to a lot of people's disappointment, his account was hacked. And no, Donald J. Trump, the former president is, as far as we know, still alive, still out there facing 91 felony counts. But, uh, he's, he's seems to be okay. Donald Trump Jr's Twitter account was of course, hacked on Wednesday. And, uh, it sent out a lot of very weird posts, of course, trying to make junior look bad, the first being, here it is. I'm just gonna read it. I'm sad to announce my father, Donald Trump has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024. Um, that post had several hundred thousand views. People in the comments were, some were celebrating, some were, you know, horrified that this kind of thing could happen to a human being, but it turns out it was not real at all. But some of the other posts equally funny, um, one of them said some interesting messages with Jeffrey Epstein. My dad owns you, Elon Musk, bum. Um, then some more profane things about President Biden. Uh, also this just in North Korea's about to get smoked, he said. But again, all of this was not real. Junior's account had in fact been hacked and, all of these messages were by some clever or perhaps not so clever individual pretending to be junior. Um, it really does speak volumes though, to the safety and security of Twitter, or now X, but it's always gonna be Twitter. Uh, Elon Musk is clearly doing a bang up job, making sure that he's got a safe and secure platform to where even the former president's son can't secure his account. Yeah, that, that kind of seems like a problem. I mean, announcing that the former president had died is actually the kind of news that could, again, cause people to go a little crazy, could perhaps even tank the stock market. And I'm not kidding, like the death of a, you know, world leader does affect the stock market. So, Elon, you really gotta start doing a better job here, man, because you could cause this nation to descend into absolute chaos by not doing enough to protect the side against hacks like this. If another high profile person were to get hacked, I mean, what's to stop them from getting into President Biden's Twitter account or the Twitter account of any other world leader and posting Things that could, I don't know, maybe even start a war? Who knows? But this is again, less of a story about, uh, Trump Jr. And his hacking as much as it is about Elon Musk and the fact that Twitter is very quickly and very visibly going straight to hell. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0fIXongLWU

Procter & Gamble is being accused of discrimination after it was found that they're paying a black owned contractor company far, far less like one, just almost half the amount. It's, it's ironically three fifths. So they've come up with this little three fifth's compromise, I guess you would call it, for this black owned contractor doing the same thing for Procter & Gamble that all of these other white owned businesses are doing. And it's not like they were late to the game. This company again, owned by this black individual, has been doing business with Procter & Gamble since 1987. What is the, what is the company? They're, they do contract package, packaging, excuse me. Okay. For Procter & Gamble. It's QAI is the name of the company. So, so how do you come up with this formula that it's, it's owned, it's owned by African Americans, let's now pay, pay the, how much less is it? It's they're getting 60% of what the others get. So three fifth's. Yeah. Okay. So, but you know, I saw this story and you know what it reminded me of, Farron, it reminded me of what we're seeing this virtue signaling from all of these companies. I mean, you see, look, you expect virtue signaling from celebrities in Hollywood. My God don't you get tired of it. It just is endless, this virtue signaling. But, but corporate America has picked up on the idea, hey, that's a pretty good idea. Let's do some virtue signaling. Give me some examples. Well, right. Well, well before that too, though, Procter & Gamble to your point here, they've got all kinds of pages online about how they're an all inclusive company, no discrimination, zero tolerance. We accept everybody. We treat everybody fairly. And that is, as you say, that's their virtue signaling. Mm-hmm. Because when you get into the documents, when you start seeing what's, you know, on paper, it has nothing to do with reality. And this month we see it happening with corporations all across the country because it's pride month. So everybody changes their logos to the rainbow flag. Right. Acting like we're so inclusive. We care so deeply. No they don't. None of these corporations give a about anything except for dollars. I think of Exxon, you know, you did the Exxon story. I don't know, honestly, I don't know anybody who really knows more about Exxon than Farron Cousins. But you've done these stories about where Ex, what Exxon knew all the way back to the fifties. About they knew that global warming was taking place. They knew exactly what it was. They knew they were, that they were in part responsible, fossil fuels were responsible. But Exxon, tell me what they do with that. Yeah. They, they, they take all that money they make destroying the planet. They go to the corporate media, they buy these ads touting Exxon's research into renewable energy. And it's got all kinds of fun graphics and animations, showing we're, we're making fuels from biofuels. We're, we're looking into solar. We're looking, they're not doing any of that. They're, they're hoodwinking the public into thinking they're one thing. But again, just like Procter & Gamble behind closed doors, they couldn't care less Amazon, same story. Disney, same story. I mean, it's the PR firms have this down pretty well. And you know what, it works. I mean, it does work. Unfortunately, yeah. What it does is it creates doubt, because you don't have enough, most people don't have enough information. It's not their fault. They simply don't have the backstory and they don't have the information to really figure out what's going on. But this virtue signaling is like an all time high. #rof #trofire #theringoffire #progressivenews ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybx7bG8yHyw
