A federal court on Monday halted the prison sentence for Douglas Mackey, who was convicted earlier this year of election interference for posting memes that <a href="https://www.memedefensefund.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mocked</a> Hillary Clinton voters to cast their ballot via text during the 2016 presidential election.
Mackey was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-supporter-douglass-mackey-sentenced-to-7-months-in-prison-over-voting-memes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> of a &#8220;scheme to deprive individuals of their constitutional right to vote&#8221; after a Twitter account he ran under the handle &#8220;Ricky Vaughn&#8221; posted memes in the lead-up to the election. In October, Judge Ann M. Donnelly of Federal District Court in Brooklyn sentenced Mackey to 7 months in prison, a $15,000 fine, and two years probation.
However, Judge Omar Williams of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reportedly overruled the appellate court in granting a motion for bond pending appeal, according to Mackey.
&#8220;This ruling is huge because it means that the appeals court decided that my appeal presents &#8216;substantial&#8217; and &#8216;debatable&#8217; issues of law that, if resolved in my favor, will result in my conviction being vacated,&#8221; Mackey <a href="https://twitter.com/DougMackeyCase/status/1731775057184100848" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;The prosecution, on the other hand, argued that my appeal was frivolous and that this was a typical election crime case like any other in U.S. history. This is a very encouraging step towards vindication.&#8221;
Mackey was charged one week after President Joe Biden assumed office and roughly four years after the 2016 election. The Justice Department claimed that Mackey had conspired to &#8220;injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate&#8221; people from exercising their right to vote. Prosecutors said that he and others had &#8220;intended variously to provoke, mislead, and, in some cases, deceive voters in the 2016 presidential election&#8221; with their posts.
The Justice Department said that Mackey had worked with other influential Twitter users between September 2016 and November 2016 to &#8220;disseminate fraudulent messages&#8221; which persuaded voters for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to cast their ballots via phone or social media.
One image showed a black woman standing in front of an &#8220;African Americans for Hillary&#8221; sign and said, &#8220;Avoid the Line. Vote from Home,&#8221; and &#8220;Text &#8216;Hillary&#8217; to 59925.&#8221;
According to the government, some 4,900 people texted the number, but it&#8217;s unclear how many people, if anyone, fell for the meme and did not cast the vote they intended to cast; or were merely participating in the joke.
Hillary Clinton <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-prison-sentence-of-douglass-mackey-stayed-by-federal-court-pending-appeal?utm_campaign=64506" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> celebrated the arrest, saying Mackey&#8217;s meme went &#8220;from what you would consider free speech &#8230; to running a very deliberate effort to mislead people about where and how to vote. So it went from speech to action meant to subvert the election because thousands of people who they targeted through their algorithms, &#8216;oh I could text my vote for Hillary Clinton.'&#8221;
Mackey said if he loses the appeal in the Second Circuit, he intends to take his case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Twitter erupted Sunday afternoon after left-wing comedian Kathy Griffin was suspended for violating the platform&#8217;s terms of service about impersonating other people.
New Twitter CEO Elon Musk warned that moving forward, accounts would be permanently banned without warning if they attempted to impersonate other accounts.
“Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying ‘parody’ will be permanently suspended,” Musk tweeted. “Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning.”
“This will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue,” Musk continued. “Any name change at all will cause temporary loss of verified checkmark.”
Griffin’s account was banned after she impersonated Musk by changing her profile photo to his photo and her user name to “Elon Musk,” even though her handle remained “@kathygriffin.”
Memes quickly flooded the internet mocking Griffin, 62, with many using her highly controversial photo shoot when she held a fake, severed head of then-President Donald Trump for the camera.
Conservative actor James Woods posted a meme to Twitter showing Musk holding Griffin&#8217;s head.
&#8220;In context maybe the greatest meme ever,&#8221; Woods tweeted.

Musk responded to a Twitter account posting the news that Griffin was banned for impersonating him by first taking a swipe at her and then saying he would let her back on the platform.
“Actually, she was suspended for impersonating a comedian,” Musk tweeted. “But if she really wants her account back, she can have it.”
Musk later added that she would have to pay the $8 fee to use the new Twitter Blue.
Musk also claimed that banning accounts for impersonation does not go against his views on free speech. “My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk,” Musk tweeted.
Twitter has explicit rules prohibiting the impersonation of other people. “You may not impersonate individuals, groups, or organizations to mislead, confuse, or deceive others, nor use a fake identity in a manner that disrupts the experience of others on Twitter,” the company’s terms of service <a href="https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-impersonation-and-deceptive-identities-policy#:~:text=While%20you%20are%20not%20required,in%20order%20to%20deceive%20others.">says</a>.
The company does make exceptions for parody accounts, but the accounts have to clearly state that they are parodies.
“If we determine a profile features another’s image, we will also evaluate the context in which the image is used,” the terms of service state. “We are most likely to take action if an account falsely claims to be the entity portrayed in the profile photo, as with impersonation or fake accounts.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Chloë Grace Moretz</a> is still not over being the subject of a meme, claiming the experience has had lasting impacts on her mental health and even her Hollywood career.
The 25-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">actress</a> addressed the joke once again while speaking with <a href="https://www.etonline.com/chloe-grace-moretz-on-what-she-hopes-fans-took-away-from-her-addressing-family-guy-meme-exclusive">Entertainment Tonight</a> during a red-carpet appearance this week. 
“I think the big thing is that compassion is a really key thing in humanity and just being kind with the words that you say with one another, the things you say online,” she said at the premiere of her Amazon sci-fi series “The Peripheral.”
“I think compassion is key and I hope that the world can have a little bit more of that.”
Moretz is still affected by a photoshopped image of her that went viral. It shows the actress wearing shorts and carrying a pizza, but someone altered the original to shorten Moretz’s torso and lengthen her legs. This drew comparisons to a “Family Guy” character named Legs Go All The Way Up Griffin from the episode “Amish Guy.”

The “Kick Ass” star previously revealed how the meme emotionally scarred her during an <a href="https://www.hungertv.com/editorial/chloe-grace-moretz-on-fame-and-social-media-i-basically-became-a-recluse/">interview</a> with Hunger magazine in September.
“I’ve actually never really talked about this, but there was one meme that really affected me, of me walking into a hotel with a pizza box in my hand. And this photo got manipulated into a character from Family Guy with the long legs and the short torso, and it was one of the most widespread memes at the time,” she recalled.
“Everyone was making fun of my body and I brought it up with someone and they were like, ‘Oh, shut the f*** up, it’s funny.’ And I just remember sitting there and thinking, my body is being used as a joke and it’s something that I can’t change about who I am, and it is being posted all over Instagram.”
Moretz said that even now, seeing the meme is “very hard for me to overcome” and that she “became a recluse” and had anxiety over getting photographed after that happened.

Dr. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mehmet-oz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mehmet Oz&#8217;s</a> Senate campaign fired back at Democratic nominee John Fetterman for criticizing his &#8220;crudité&#8221; gaffe.
Fetterman has been criticizing Oz in recent days after he resurfaced a social media video of the Republican candidate complaining about inflation at a grocery store. The video, in which Oz appears to confuse the name of a popular Pennsylvania grocery store chain, has led to social media users mocking Oz as out-of-touch. But on Monday, the Oz campaign fired back fiercely at Fetterman, including a reference to the stroke he suffered in May that has kept him mostly off the campaign trail.
&#8220;If John Fetterman had ever eaten a vegetable in his life, then maybe he wouldn&#8217;t have had a major stroke and wouldn&#8217;t be in the position of having to lie about it constantly,&#8221; Oz campaign Senior Communications Adviser Rachel Tripp told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oz-on-fetterman-if-hed-eaten-vegetable-wouldnt-have-stroke-2022-8">Business Insider</a> Tuesday.
Dr. Oz originally posted the <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@dr_oz/video/7084047614848552234?is_copy_url=1&amp;is_from_webapp=v1&amp;lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> to his official TikTok account in April. In the video, Oz is grocery shopping at Redner&#8217;s, a popular grocery store chain in southeastern Pennsylvania, making note of the high costs of vegetables in the produce section. “Thought I’d do some grocery shopping. I’m at Wegners, and my wife wants some vegetables for a crudité,” Oz says, apparently confusing Redner&#8217;s with Wegman&#8217;s, another grocery store chain with locations throughout the mid-Atlantic, including Pennsylvania.
Fetterman <a href="https://twitter.com/JohnFetterman/status/1559207673698127872?s=20&amp;t=aQNf5cdB8lgiTDVq52KWYA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> the video last week, mocking Oz for using the French word &#8220;crudité&#8221; instead of the more colloquial term &#8220;veggie tray.&#8221; Oz defended his word choice in an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7yFLY5iCYs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox Business</a> Tuesday. &#8220;Whether I pick words that are not conventional ones are irrelevant to the bigger challenges that we&#8217;re facing in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania,&#8221; Oz said.
For his part, Fetterman actually lost over 140 pounds, going from weighing 418 pounds to just over 270, between 2017 and 2018, by altering his dietary habits and walking several miles a day, <a href="https://archive.triblive.com/news/health-now/john-fetterman-adopts-new-way-of-eating-drops-148-pounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TribLive.com</a> reported.
The Pennsylvania Senate campaign has devolved into a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pennsylvanias-senate-campaign-degrades-to-a-meme-war" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meme war</a>, with the two candidates firing volleys at each other on Twitter and over the airwaves in TV advertisements, as The Daily Wire&#8217;s Ben Zeisloft reported earlier this month.
Fetterman has done much of his campaigning over social media and TV, focusing on the fact that until recently, Oz&#8217;s primary residence was his home in New Jersey. Fetterman made his first public appearance since suffering a stroke at a rally in Erie on August 12; he gave an 11-minute speech, in which he <a href="https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1559000551576244226" target="_blank" rel="noopener">repeatedly stopped</a> abruptly before continuing. Fetterman gave another speech at a rally in Pittsburgh Tuesday; the speech reportedly lasted for less than five minutes, and Fetterman again <a href="https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1562181700305788928" target="_blank" rel="noopener">struggled</a> through his remarks.
Oz has also taken to social media and the airwaves to criticize Fetterman over reports that he received a five-figure <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pennsylvania-senate-nominee-fettermans-parents-gave-him-allowance-as-high-as-five-figures-well-into-his-40s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allowance</a> from his parents until he was in his 40s; Oz has also repeatedly and vigorously criticized Fetterman&#8217;s absence from the public eye, including his refusal to agree to televised <a href="https://twitter.com/DrOz/status/1562131927813001217?s=20&amp;t=XfsHk-7H_nbT1sEkWmtYmQ">debates</a> against him. Meanwhile, Oz has been very active on the <a href="https://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/insight/2022/08/14/mehmet-oz-pennsylvania-senate-campaign/stories/202208140031" target="_blank" rel="noopener">campaign trail</a>, attending multiple campaign events a day all across Pennsylvania.
According to the most recent polling, Oz trails, but is within striking distance of Fetterman. A poll of more than 1,000 likely general election voters, conducted by <a href="https://www.thetrafalgargroup.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/TRF-PA-General-0820-Poll-Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Trafalgar Group</a>, found that Fetterman leads Oz by less than five points, 48.4% to 43.5%

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/colleges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">student</a> at the University of Southern California reportedly earned $110 million on Tuesday by selling his <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/stock-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shares</a> in Bed Bath &amp; Beyond at the height of a <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/memes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meme</a> stock craze.
The stock price of Bed Bath &amp; Beyond <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bed-bath-beyond-stock-soars-300-wall-street-loses-millions-thanks-to-meme-traders">soared</a> from $4.96 to $27.21 between July 18 and noon on August 16, reflecting a nearly 449% increase in less than a month as traders on social media coordinated to buy shares. Before the price began to decrease, Jake Freeman — an applied mathematics and economics major — dumped the entirety of his stake, netting $110 million.
“The significant appreciation of BBBY&#8217;s share price combined with the fact that I am leaving for school tomorrow played critical roles in closing the Position,” he wrote on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/BBBY/comments/wq4lu1/an_ode_to_bbby/">Reddit</a>.
Freeman purchased 5 million shares at $5.50 each last month using $25 million he raised from friends and family, according to <a href="https://fortune.com/2022/08/18/jake-freeman-usc-student-netted-110-million-dollars-in-bed-bath-beyond-stock-dump/">Fortune</a>, earning himself a 6.2% passive stake in the company. He made the purchase after a dismal first-quarter report showing the home goods retailer’s sales had plunged 25%, even as the company maintained $3.3 billion in debt and a mere $107 million in cash on its balance sheet.
“I feel that my acquisition of the Position was a watershed moment for BBBY, and I hope that in one form or another BBBY is able to capitalize off of this increased price to realign their balance sheet and operate for decades to come,” he added on Reddit. “I am truly going to miss being able to say ‘I am the second largest non-institutional shareholder of Bed Bath &amp; Beyond,’ but I am certainly going to be shopping at BBBY tomorrow.”
Freeman celebrated his successful investment by going out to eat with his parents in the New York City suburb where they live. “I certainly did not expect such a vicious rally upwards,” Freeman said in an interview with <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/1b21bb08-6590-49c6-8baa-5ad8c527fbcc">Financial Times</a>. “I thought this was going to be a six-months-plus play &#8230; I was really shocked that it went up so fast.”
While Freeman emerged victorious from the Bed Bath &amp; Beyond fiasco, many institutional investors endured heavy paper losses. Investors with short positions lost $662 million on paper over the past month, including a $218 million hit on Tuesday, data analytics firm S3 Partners told <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-16/bed-bath-beyond-s-510-surge-defies-wall-street-naysayers">Bloomberg</a>. Short sellers effectively <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xszj1flDxl0">bet against</a> companies by borrowing shares, selling them on the stock market, and buying back the shares at a later date to return to the original owners — a strategy that results in a profit if the stock price declines.
The surge in Bed Bath &amp; Beyond stock occurs over a year after traders coordinating their efforts online agreed to purchase stock in GameStop and AMC, as well as cryptocurrencies such as Dogecoin. Investors shorting GameStop <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bloodbath-hedge-fund-short-sale-losses-top-1-billion-following-gamestop-stock-surge">marked</a> losses of over $70 billion, with hedge fund Melvin Capital losing 53% of its value in the wake of the meme trading surge.
Celebrity business magnates, including Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, publicly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-4-business-moguls-cheering-for-the-little-guys-in-the-gamestop-fiasco">lauded</a> the meme trading. SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk likewise told traders to give “no respect” to “shorty apologists.”
“Old days where a hedge fund manager could quietly short a stock, then publish negative research and take a bullhorn to it in the media are over,” Canadian entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary said of the trend last year. “They now run the risk that the power of the crowd will turn on them and squeeze their heads like a teenage pimple.”

Shares of Bed Bath &amp; Beyond have soared as <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/memes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meme </a><a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/stock-market" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stock</a> traders seek to pressure investors betting against the home goods retailer.
The stock price of Bed Bath &amp; Beyond increased from $4.96 to $19.49 between July 18 and August 16, reflecting a nearly 300% increase in less than a month. Shares rose over 21% on Tuesday alone.
The surge in price is bad news for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xszj1flDxl0">short sellers</a>, who are effectively betting against the company by borrowing shares, selling them on the stock market, and returning the shares to the original owners at a later date — a strategy that results in a profit if the stock price declines.

Meme stocks GameStop and AMC Entertainment also rose Tuesday, with the former rising 6.2% and the latter rising 1.6%. Indeed, the surge in Bed Bath &amp; Beyond stock occurs over a year after traders communicating via online social networks collectively agreed to purchase stock in GameStop and AMC, as well as cryptocurrencies such as Dogecoin. Investors shorting GameStop <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bloodbath-hedge-fund-short-sale-losses-top-1-billion-following-gamestop-stock-surge">marked</a> losses over $70 billion, with hedge fund Melvin Capital losing 53% of its value in the wake of the meme trading surge.
Business magnates — including Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban — publicly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-4-business-moguls-cheering-for-the-little-guys-in-the-gamestop-fiasco">endorsed</a> the meme trading. SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk likewise told traders to give “no respect” to “shorty apologists.”
“Old days where a hedge fund manager could quietly short a stock, then publish negative research and take a bullhorn to it in the media are over,” Canadian entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary said of the meme stock trend last year. “They now run the risk that the power of the crowd will turn on them and squeeze their heads like a teenage pimple.”
Some lawmakers, however, were not impressed. In a <a href="https://www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/new-this-am-warren-calls-on-the-sec-to-address-stock-market-gamesmanship-amid-volatile-gamestop-trades">letter</a> to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) argued that the agency ought to regulate meme stock trading.
&#8220;The Commission must review recent market activity affecting GameStop and other companies, and act to ensure that markets reflect real value, rather than the highly leveraged bets of wealthy traders or those who seek to inflict financial damage on those traders,&#8221; Warren wrote. &#8220;To protect and restore public trust in sound securities regulation and enforcement, the Commission must identify gaps in existing securities laws and rules and ways in which the Commission can improve its enforcement capabilities.&#8221;
Nevertheless, a <a href="https://www.sec.gov/files/staff-report-equity-options-market-struction-conditions-early-2021.pdf">staff report</a> published months later by the SEC generally rejected calls to regulate meme stocks. “Underneath the memes are actual companies, with employees, customers, and plans to invest in the future. Those who bought GameStop became co-owners of a company through a system of mutual trust and participation that sustains our economy,” the report explained. “People may disagree about the prospects of GameStop and the other meme stocks, but those disagreements are what should lead to price discovery rather than disruptions.”
More broadly, the stock market has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bloodbath-on-wall-street-as-stock-market-plunges-into-bear-territory">declined</a> over 10% since the beginning of 2022 amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, rising inflation, and persistent supply chain issues.

Indeed, top Biden administration officials — including Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig — have argued that the 87,000 new employees, who will be hired through an $80 billion carveout from the $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act, will focus primarily upon wealthy Americans. The IRS employed nearly 79,000 full-time employees as of fiscal year 2021, according to the <a href="https://www.irs.gov/statistics/irs-budget-and-workforce">agency</a>, which also reported $13.7 billion in operating costs.
“I direct that any additional resources — including any new personnel or auditors that are hired — shall not be used to increase the share of small business or households below the $400,000 threshold that are audited relative to historical levels,” Yellen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/janet-yellen-vows-irs-audits-wont-rise-for-middle-income-americans-but-theres-a-catch">told</a> Rettig in a Wednesday letter. “This means that, contrary to the misinformation from opponents of this legislation, small business or households earning $400,000 per year or less will not see an increase in the chances that they are audited.”
Yellen did not mention, however, that “historical levels” of audits were significantly higher as recently as one decade ago. According to a report from the <a href="https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-22-104960.pdf">Government Accountability Office</a>, audit rates for Americans earning between $25,000 to $200,000 fell 76% between 2010 and 2019, while those earning less than $25,000 saw audit rates fall by 61%. Taxpayers earning between $200,000 and $500,000 — representing those at the upper end of the Biden administration’s vow to not raise taxes for those earning less than $400,000 — saw a 92% decline in audits.
The report added that IRS officials “attributed the overall decline in audit rates to decreased funding, and therefore reduced staffing to conduct audits” — constraints which are directly addressed by the Inflation Reduction Act. The agency’s job <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/guns-body-armor-spy-gear-heres-what-bidens-beefed-up-irs-investigation-unit-will-pack">description</a> for new agents says that employees must “carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, if necessary.”
Yet Rettig vowed that his agency will “absolutely not” use its new employees to target middle-class Americans and small businesses. Instead, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/irs-we-will-absolutely-not-target-everyday-americans-with-new-army-of-agents">promised</a> that the new funding will create better information technology systems that will help Americans more easily comply with tax laws.
For his part, Musk has repeatedly warned about the dangers of unsustainable fiscal habits. “True national debt, including unfunded entitlements, is at least $60 trillion — roughly three times the size of the entire US economy,” he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/something-has-got-to-give-elon-musk-issues-dire-warning-about-national-debt">commented</a> on social media earlier this year. “Something has got to give.”
Even as several left-wing lawmakers — such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) — accused Musk of “freeloading off everyone else” and failing to pay his “fair share,” the entrepreneur <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pramila-jayapal-reacts-to-elon-musk-paying-11-billion-in-taxes-by-asking-rich-to-pay-their-fair-share">revealed</a> that he paid $11 billion in taxes last year.
“And if you opened your eyes for 2 seconds, you would realize I will pay more taxes than any American in history this year,” Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-will-pay-more-taxes-than-any-american-in-history-this-year-elon-musk-obliterates-elizabeth-warren-with-one-tweet">retorted</a>. “Don’t spend it all at once … oh wait you did already.”

The next candidate <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/pennsylvania">Pennsylvania</a> sends to the Senate may be the one who can prove himself quickest on the <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/memes">memes</a>.
Lt. Governor John Fetterman, the commonwealth’s Democratic <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2022-midterms">nominee</a> for the Senate campaigning against Republican rival <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dr-oz">Dr. Mehmet Oz</a>, was hospitalized on May 13 — days before the primary election — and has been recovering in the wake of receiving a pacemaker-defibrillator. Though he was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hell-be-fine-pa-democratic-senate-nominee-cleared-by-doctor-to-campaign-after-suffering-a-stroke-days-before-primary">cleared</a> by his cardiologist to campaign in the midterm elections, Fetterman made no significant <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pennsylvania-democrat-john-fetterman-to-end-absence-from-campaign-trail-two-months-after-stroke">public appearances</a> until the end of last month.
Fetterman has instead focused on various social media trolling campaigns against Oz, most of which draw attention to the celebrity cardiologist’s longtime residence in New Jersey — for example, by posting a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/15/entertainment/snooki-cameo-dr-oz-john-fetterman-cec/index.html">cameo</a> from Snooki, a personality from the reality show “Jersey Shore,” and attempting to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/john-fetterman-petition-dr-oz-new-jersey-hall-of-fame-2022-7">induct</a> Oz into the New Jersey Hall of Fame.
The memes, however, have been slung in the other direction as well. Following a report indicating that Fetterman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pennsylvania-senate-nominee-fettermans-parents-gave-him-allowance-as-high-as-five-figures-well-into-his-40s">received</a> five-figure allowances from his parents during his tenure as the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, the Oz campaign launched a <a href="https://fraudsterfetterman.com/">promotional website</a> called “Basement Bum Fetterman” — complete with an image depicting the candidate as shirtless and overweight, as well as a clarification that the page was “Not Paid For By John Fetterman’s Daddy.”
Pennsylvania’s voters, according to polls, appear to be favoring Fetterman thus far, with <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/senate/2022/pennsylvania/">FiveThirtyEight</a> showing the Democrat with a 10.8% lead as of August 4. One recent SurveyMonkey <a href="https://www.abc27.com/pennsylvania-senate-race/pennsylvania-senate-race-fetterman-leads-oz-in-new-poll/">poll</a> indicated that Fetterman and Oz respectively have 19% and 38% unfavorability ratings, with Fetterman receiving 17% of his support from voters who favored former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
The national political equation may be working against Fetterman. One USA Today Network and Suffolk University <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/early-midterm-poll-has-dire-news-for-pennsylvania-republicans">poll</a> showed in June that Pennsylvanians disapprove of President Joe Biden by a 54% to 39% margin, with more than half of the electorate saying that they “want their vote in November to change the direction in which Biden is leading the nation.”
“Voters say they are unhappy with the economy in Pennsylvania and President Biden’s job approval, yet these particular Democrats are threading the needle thus far,” according to Suffolk University Political Research Center Director David Paleologos.
Likewise, 48% of Pennsylvanians said that their standard of living is worse, while 17% said it is better — a significant reversal from 31% reporting better conditions and 17% reporting worse in 2018. In Pennsylvania, gasoline costs an average of $4.34 per gallon, according to <a href="https://gasprices.aaa.com/">AAA</a>. When President Biden took office, the national average cost of gas was $2.39 per gallon.
Overall, Fetterman is “slightly favored” to win the election, with FiveThirtyEight’s <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-election-forecast/senate/pennsylvania/">predictive model</a> giving the candidate 67% odds.
Fetterman gave his first media interview since May to the <a href="https://www.post-gazette.com/news/politics-state/2022/07/20/john-fetterman-health-update-stroke-condition-us-senate-campaign-democratic-candidate-dr-mehmet-oz/stories/202207200082">Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</a> last month — emphasizing that although he may “miss a word” or “slur two together” from time to time, he’s “feeling really good” and has “nothing to hide.”
“I would never be in this if we were not absolutely, 100% able to run fully and to win — and we believe that we are,” Fetterman said.
Both candidates are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oz-fetterman-fill-their-war-chests-for-key-senate-race">filling their war chests</a> for one of the nation’s most contentious midterm races. Oz has raised more than $19 million between March 17, 2021, and June 30, 2022, according to <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/candidate/S2PA00638/?tab=raising#total-receipts">filings</a> with the U.S. Federal Elections Commission. Fetterman has meanwhile raised $11 million between April and June.

Google Maps users trolled <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">President Joe Biden</a> by turning the site of his infamous fall from a bicycle into a landmark.
@OldRowViral, A Twitter account that posts viral videos and memes aimed at a conservative audience, posted a tweet Monday afternoon showing a Google Maps landmark called &#8220;Brandon [F]alls.&#8221; The landmark, located at Gordon&#8217;s Pond State Park in Lewes, Delaware, is at the crossing where Biden fell while riding his bike in June. The name refers to the &#8220;Let&#8217;s Go Brandon&#8221; chant, often used to mock Biden.
&#8220;We did it Joe! Brandon Falls is officially a historical landmark 😂 #bidenin[g],&#8221; @OldRowViral tweeted on Monday.

<a href="https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/07/19/biden-brandon-falls/">Snopes</a> noted Tuesday that Google Maps allows user to create their own public landmarks, meaning the site was created by a user to troll Biden.
The <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/brandon-falls-delaware-landmark-named-biden-bike-fall">Washington Examiner</a> noted that as of Tuesday morning, the landmark had a 4.9-star rating on Google Maps, from more than 200 reviews. “Very nice place to ride a bike,” one of the reviews reads, via Washington Examiner. “Just be careful not to cause too much inflation in your tires or you can end up crashing your whole bike into the ground. But if that happens, just blame Putin. People will ‘fall’ for it!”
“Road was too bumpy, and reminded me of the problems we still face for two more years,&#8221; read another.
As of the publishing of this piece, however, the landmark appears to have been taken down by Google. The location &#8220;Brandon falls, Road 300, Lewes, DE,&#8221; still appears as a recommended search, but the search redirects to a house in a nearby neighborhood.
The Google Maps landmark is just the latest move by internet jokesters and meme-makers to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-roasted-after-falling-off-bicycle-a-perfect-metaphor-for-the-current-state-of-our-country">troll Biden</a> after he fell off his bike in June. Twitter user @Brick_Suit <a href="https://twitter.com/Brick_Suit/status/1545191671838584832">posted</a> a photo to Twitter on July 7 of the bike crossing at Gordon&#8217;s Pond State Park, where someone had written &#8220;Joe Fell Here&#8221; in chalk on the spot where Biden had his fall.
Old Row, a clothing and apparel brand associated with the @OldRowViral Twitter account, is currently selling <a href="https://shop.oldrow.net/products/joe-fell-here-tee?variant=39834978484337">tee shirts</a> with the photo emblazoned on the front. The @OldRowViral also started the hashtag &#8220;#bidening,&#8221; which consists of people posting pictures and videos of themselves falling off their bikes. The account also posted a thread with pictures and videos of people lying down or purposely falling off their bikes at the Gordon&#8217;s Pond bike path.
Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-falls-while-standing-partially-on-ground-after-stopping-bicycle">fell off his bicycle</a> on June 18 while at his home in Rehoboth Beach. While out on a ride with his family at Gordon&#8217;s Pond, Biden crossed the street to talk to a group of people, stopped the bike, put his left foot down, then suddenly fell down. Secret Service agents quickly helped him up to his feet. At the time, Biden said he was &#8220;good,&#8221; and that he had simply gotten his foot caught in the foot cage on one of his bike pedals. A White House spokesman later confirmed that Biden was alright. &#8220;As the President said, his foot got caught on the pedal while dismounting and he is fine,&#8221; the spokesman said at the time, via <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/18/politics/biden-falls-riding-bike/index.html">CNN</a>. &#8220;No medical attention is needed. The President looks forward to spending the rest of the day with his family.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk">Elon Musk</a> used a meme to troll <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter">Twitter</a> over the weekend in response to his upcoming legal battle with the social media platform over his decision to withdraw from his $44 billion purchase of the company.
Musk&#8217;s move late last week came in response to the company allegedly withholding information about how many spam accounts are on the platform.
&#8220;They said I couldn&#8217;t buy Twitter,&#8221; the meme begins. &#8220;Then they wouldn&#8217;t disclose bot info.&#8221;
&#8220;Now they want to force me to buy Twitter in court,&#8221; the meme continues. &#8220;Now they have to disclose bot info in court.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Musk&#8217;s legal team sent a letter to Twitter Chief Legal Officer Vijaya Gadde on Friday that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-elon-musk-blows-up-twitter-deal">stated</a> Musk was terminating the purchase because &#8220;Twitter is in material breach of multiple provisions of that Agreement, appears to have made false and misleading representations upon which Mr. Musk relied when entering into the Merger Agreement, and is likely to suffer a Company Material Adverse Effect.&#8221;
The chair of Twitter’s board, Bret Taylor, responded to the move from Musk on Friday evening by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-strikes-back-will-sue-elon-musk-for-walking-away">writing</a>: “The Twitter Board is committed to closing the transaction on the price and terms agreed upon with Mr. Musk and plans to pursue legal action to enforce the merger agreement. We are confident we will prevail in the Delaware Court of Chancery.”
Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-ceo-makes-eyebrow-raising-remark-as-employees-panic-over-potential-musk-takeover-report">said</a> back in April that he wanted to buy the platform because his &#8220;strong intuitive sense is that having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization.&#8221;
Regarding the financial aspect of acquiring the company, Musk said, “I don’t care about the economics at all.”
Musk further <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/elon-musk-vows-to-defeat-the-spam-bots-or-die-trying-if-twitter-bid-succeeds">noted</a> that one of his top priorities at Twitter would be &#8220;eliminating the spam and scam bots and the bot armies&#8221; on the platform.
“It’s important to the function of democracy, it’s important to the function of the United States as a free country and many other countries, and to help freedom in the world more broadly than in the U.S.,” Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-reveals-during-ted-talk-that-there-is-a-plan-b-if-twitter-rejects-his-offer-to-buy-the-company">said</a>. “Civilizational risk is decreased the more we can increase the trust of Twitter as a public platform, and so I do think this will be somewhat painful.”

Musk Responds To Twitter Legal Battle By Trolling The Company With A Meme

Elon Musk mocked a gamer publication on Memorial Day for trying troll him after the publication accused him of not giving them proper credit for their content.
The publication, Hard Drive, claimed that Musk had cropped their name off one of their articles and posted it to social media.
&#8220;Well, if you make something that looks like a meme &amp; someone (not me) crops off your name, so it goes,&#8221; Musk responded. &#8220;Also, this is only a 6/10 meme, so maybe step down from that high horse! The selfless art of anonymous meme creators is something to be admired.&#8221;
Musk later deleted the tweet that the publication called him out over.
The publication later posted a link to one of their articles and asked Musk to let them know what he thought of it.
The article was titled, &#8220;Elon Musk Admits He Wants to Travel to Mars Because No One Hates Him There Yet&#8221;.
Musk responded, &#8220;Less funny than SNL on a bad day. This could make a drunk person sober. Try harder!&#8221;
&#8220;The reason you’re not that funny is because you’re woke,&#8221; Musk continued. &#8220;Humor relies on an intuitive &amp; often awkward truth being recognized by the audience, but wokism is a lie, which is why nobody laughs.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Musk has repeatedly slammed wokeism for a variety of reasons, including the negative impact that it has had on the world of comedy.
Musk took aim at The Onion <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-torches-wokeness-one-of-the-biggest-threats-to-modern-civilization-is-divisive-hateful">during an interview</a> last year for becoming “really politically correct” and for not making fun of “anything on the Left.”
“It used to be much more even-handed, The Onion, and then they just got the woke mind virus to the point where … it used to be very funny and then it was not that funny,” Musk said. “You know, SNL, I used to be a huge fan of SNL. … many, many, many, if not, most of the SNL episodes are kind of a moral lecture on why we’re bad human beings, instead of comedy. So, and again, won’t make fun of anything on the Left, really, like, you know, they’ll beat up on Ted Cruz 17,000 times and you’re like, ‘OK, we get it.’”
“So it’s, it’s just, there’re just a lot of no fly zones with a lot of comedy,” Musk said. “And then you realize, it’s like, wait a second, is the comedy getting at an essential truth or trying — is there a propaganda element? Or is it trying to push you in a particular direction? Or getting to an essential truth that is humorous? And when it stops trying to get to an essential truth that is humorous, then, you know, it’s just not that funny.”

While many focused on Inauguration Day for its political implications, seeing President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as the center of attention, someone else stole the show. 
Sen. Bernie Sanders rose as Inauguration Day’s standout star, whose cross-legged seated stance in coat and mittens instantly became an internet meme, triggering a wave of reproductions and parodies. Here are just some of the highlights.
