GOP Lawmaker Said Trans People “Harm” Children. He Just Pled Guilty To Child Porn Charges.
Well, where do we even begin with this one? It’s a story that, unfortunately, seems to fit a pattern. You see a political figure, in this case a GOP lawmaker, making a strong statement about the potential dangers some group poses to children. Then, not long after, they find themselves facing serious charges related to child pornography. It’s a stark example of hypocrisy, a clear case of someone projecting their own actions and desires onto others. It’s almost as if every accusation these folks make is, in reality, a confession.… Continue reading
In a recent incident, White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson shared an article on social media that she believed supported the government’s stance on left-wing terrorism. However, the article, which reported that left-wing attacks have outpaced far-right incidents this year, was misinterpreted, as the headline was corrected to clarify that it was not a 30-year high. The original study, from the Center for Strategic & International Studies, showed left-wing violence was less lethal than right-wing violence over the past decade and the authors warned against using the data to crack down on legitimate organizations. Despite the factual inaccuracies and criticism received, Jackson’s post remained online.

The social media platform Truth Social recently hosted a computer-generated video featuring Lara Trump and an AI-generated Donald Trump promoting the false “medbed” conspiracy theory. The video claimed every American would receive a “medbed card” granting access to facilities designed to restore health. The “medbed” theory, popular in far-right circles, falsely asserts that the “deep state” possesses advanced technology capable of curing any illness. While the video’s origin is unknown, it appears to have originated from an Instagram account associated with a fake name often used in romance scams.

Over the weekend, Donald Trump shared a fabricated video on social media promoting a “MedBed” conspiracy theory and made false claims about FBI agents at the January 6th riot. He also announced his intention to deploy the military to Portland, despite a lack of ongoing protests. Instead of scrutinizing these erratic behaviors, media outlets either ignored them or dismissed them as typical Trump behavior. Considering Trump’s age, family history, and escalating paranoia, the question arises whether these actions are indicative of a decline in cognitive abilities that warrants serious media investigation.

Oregon and the city of Portland have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to halt the deployment of National Guard troops, citing a lack of legal justification. The suit names several key figures and departments within the administration and seeks to declare the deployment unlawful, arguing it violates the 10th Amendment by overstepping state police powers. Despite claims of escalating violence and threats to federal assets by the administration, state officials like Governor Tina Kotek deny the existence of conditions necessitating military intervention, pointing to crime statistics that are comparable to the previous year, while also acknowledging an 8% increase in simple assaults. The lawsuit follows a similar ruling against the administration’s actions in Los Angeles, where a judge found that the Posse Comitatus Act was violated.

Two Kentucky paramedics are facing potential license revocation after administering antivenom to a man bitten by a venomous snake. The incident occurred when a Jameson’s mamba bit Jim Harrison, co-director of the Kentucky Reptile Zoo, who was in critical condition.

A hearing has been scheduled to determine their professional fate, but officials suggest the outcome often results in dismissal or additional training.
