Trump Is Lying About Left-Wing Terrorism, and the evidence is clear. It’s almost a reflex at this point to state the obvious. Everything that comes out of his mouth is filtered through a lens of deception. The idea that he’s fabricating information about left-wing terrorism, specifically, is just another brick in the wall of dishonesty he’s built. It’s a pattern, an established routine that needs to be recognized.
The fact that the New York Times is even stating this is noteworthy because they are using the word “lie”. It’s a blunt assertion, directly stating the truth in a way that can cut through the noise.… Continue reading
The firing of Tom Alter from Texas State University followed a speech at a socialist conference, and was framed as incitement to violence by the university president.

The White House has outlined a deal with TikTok that would grant US companies control of the platform’s algorithm. Under this agreement, Americans will hold six out of seven board seats for the app’s US operations, and Oracle will manage data and privacy concerns.

Democratic lawmakers are expressing concerns about banners featuring President Donald Trump’s face displayed on federal buildings, arguing they carry authoritarian undertones. A report from California Democrat Adam Schiff revealed that at least $50,000 in taxpayer funds were used to create the banners, which some perceive as propaganda. Republicans, however, are defending the banners by pointing out similar promotional efforts under the previous Democratic administration and questioning the double standard. The White House has strongly pushed back on the report, intensifying the political divide over the use of executive power and taxpayer funds.

Reports indicate that Donald Trump is orchestrating the sale of TikTok’s U.S. assets to a consortium of right-wing billionaires and allies. This deal, involving figures like Marc Andreessen and Larry Ellison, is expected to convert the platform into a propaganda tool, raising concerns about democratic values and consumer privacy.

The Plan to Turn Charlie Kirk’s Murder Into a Left-Wing Crackdown focuses on the immediate aftermath of the assassination, it’s clear that the narrative being pushed is designed to exploit the tragedy for political gain. The circumstances of the actual event, the details of the killing itself, quickly become secondary to a predetermined agenda.
This is not just about a “left-wing” crackdown, despite the efforts to frame it that way. It’s broader, targeting anyone who doesn’t align with a specific ideology. This type of framing has historical parallels, such as the Reichstag fire, where a pivotal event was used to justify an authoritarian power grab.… Continue reading
In a recent statement, President Trump attempted to justify the U.S. strike on a Venezuelan boat by claiming that 300 million Americans died from drug use the previous year. This assertion is a significant exaggeration, as the actual number of drug overdose deaths in the U.S. is closer to 75,000, according to CDC estimates. Trump’s figure would mean nearly the entire U.S. population had perished. The President has previously been criticized for making unsubstantiated claims and exaggerating numbers.

This departure coincides with the launch of a new White House TikTok account, which was met with significant criticism and trolling, including calls for the release of the Epstein files. Democrats, particularly California Governor Gavin Newsom, have also stepped up their own meme-based attacks.
