House Judiciary launches investigation into Facebook, Twitter over Hunter Biden coverup
Breaking Thursday, Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee announced they are launching an official investigation into Facebook and Twitter’s involvement with censoring the bombshell news of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
The social media platforms were an accomplice in the mainstream media’s suppression of the Hunter Biden story. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who is ranking member of the Committee, told Fox News “the laptop was real, the emails were real, the eyewitness…was real – the only thing fake about a year and a half ago was the news. Big Tech, Big Democrat Party and Big Media all colluded to keep critical information from the American people in the run up to the most important election we have…so we’re launching an investigation.”
“The real thing here was how Facebook and Twitter suppressed this information” said Jordan. The investigation was formerly launched with a letter from the Representatives to Mark Zuckerberg.
The letter begins, “Shortly before 2020 election, Facebook suppressed an explosive New York Post article detailing how Hunter Biden used the position and influence of his father, now-President Biden, for personal gain, with the apparent awareness of President Biden.”

The letter goes on to say how an initial letter was written to Facebook at the time “with important questions” about the suppression of “First Amendment-protected activity.” Facebook ignored the letter, and now “we are investigating Facebook’s actions to interfere in free and fair election-related public discourse on its platform to the benefit of President Biden and the detriment of former President Trump” the letter reads.

Kamala Harris Faces Setback as Gen Z, Women Under 30 Shift Support to Donald Trump
In a surprising outcome of the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign suffered a stinging loss in support from young Gen Z women, a demographic long considered safe for the Democratic Party. Exit polling by AP reveals a significant shift: 40 percent of women under 30 cast their ballots for President-elect Donald Trump, a seven-point increase from the 2020 election. Among the youngest voters, aged 18 to 24, Trump saw an 11-point gain over his 2020 race against Joe Biden.
Despite liberal media blaming Harris’ loss on white males, Breitbart reports that the swing of women played a crucial role in Trump’s broader success with voters under 30, securing him the largest share of this demographic that any Republican candidate has achieved since 2008. In the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton held a commanding 19-point lead with young voters, which Biden stretched to 25 points in 2020. Under Harris, however, that gap dwindled to a mere six points, marking a substantial erosion of Democratic support among younger Americans.
Harris made concerted efforts to connect with Gen Z female voters. She embraced cultural phenomena like “brat summer,” appeared on the popular ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast, and garnered endorsements from major music icons including Charli XCX, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé. Her campaign leveraged social media, where Harris cultivated a persona as “Momala” and created TikTok videos featuring Chappell Roan’s hit song “Femininomenon.” Harris’s TikTok success translated into 448 million “likes,” far outpacing Trump’s 102 million. But while she dominated on social media, the online popularity failed to translate into votes.
Psychotherapist and author Jonathan Alpert wasn’t surprised by Trump’s gains among young women. “There’s an assumption made about Gen Z—that simply being young and female means a natural alignment with the Democratic candidate,” he told *DailyMail.com*. “Many told me they felt unsafe in Biden and Harris’s America and wanted a change.”
Business analyst and political commentator Nadja Atwal shared similar observations, noting that young voters didn’t connect with Harris’s campaign despite its efforts to speak their language. “Many felt it was not relatable,” she said. “While economic indicators may look good on paper, high costs have made it challenging for people to make a living. Many Gen Z voters felt that Harris’s campaign didn’t address this issue enough.”
Atwal also suggested that Harris’s reliance on celebrity endorsements may have backfired. “Many young people felt downright insulted by the Harris campaign banking on star power,” she explained. “It does not resonate to see Hollywood and music stars with bodyguards and gated mansions endorsing a candidate. Trump’s campaign, on the other hand, emphasized working-class values, with appearances in relatable settings like McDonald’s or garbage trucks, which came across as cool and accessible.”
Trump also targeted Gen Z through platforms more popular with young men, including appearances on podcasts with Joe Rogan, Theo Von, and the Nelk Boys. His 18-year-old son, Barron, reportedly advised him on how to appeal to the younger demographic, and Trump saw a 15-point increase among men under 30, with 56 percent supporting him over Harris.
Turnout among young voters was around 42 percent, slightly down from the 50 percent turnout in 2020 but comparable to the 2016 election. As Democrats review the election results, the loss of Gen Z support—and particularly young women—has become a major talking point and a clear signal that economic concerns, safety, and authenticity were paramount for many young voters this election cycle.

As I have stated before in other columns, this entire country must obliterate Twitter and Facebook. The reason I stated it prior to this was because they are killing our young people. Teens and pre-teens get information detrimental to their health, body, & mind. Their brains are not mature enough to handle what they read. Anything, any subject they put on their computer is a click away. What happened to their two feet & libraries? Get rid of computers in general. But Facebook & Twitter just encourage all the bad stuff out there. Billions of people add their two cents…good or mostly bad Info. iBut now I know those two mediums are horrendous because of their manipulations into the 2020 elections. I don’t know what they got out of it, but I hope they are glad at the horrible things that are now happening in our country. Is this what they wanted? How could they gain from the way our country is in such a mess?

The only problem is, they can only recommend prosecution to the justice department and those people aren’t going to do that to their buddy Zuckerberg or Twitter.
