the american thinker blog/opinion website was banned. i made a open post to elon and twitter safety about the issue and next thing i knew they became unbanned. not sure if it was my request or what. i'm just glad they were unbanned. i find their blog/opinion articles very on point. maybe don't because they are too real in nature, too much common sense. ppl cannot stand the overload.
