From George Orwell’s 1984 to our current political climate, the manipulation of truth seems to be a recurring theme. Trump’s recent denial of ever saying “lock her up” brings to light the dangerous narrative of gaslighting that seems to permeate his political rhetoric. The audacity to deny something that has been clearly documented and seen by millions is not only baffling but also deeply concerning.
The idea that words are mere tools for manipulation rather than conveyors of truth is troubling. The blatant disregard for facts and the attempt to rewrite history in real-time is a tactic that undermines the very fabric of our democratic society.… Continue reading
Like many other instances throughout his time in the public eye, Donald Trump has once again tried to gaslight the nation by claiming he never called for Hillary Clinton to be locked up. This blatant attempt to rewrite history and erase his past statements is not only misleading but also dangerous.

It’s not just a case of selective memory or forgetfulness. Trump’s denial is a deliberate act of gaslighting. To deny something that is recorded for posterity, to twist reality in such a brazen manner, speaks volumes about his character.… Continue reading
James Comer has finally come to terms with the fact that his relentless pursuit of impeaching President Biden has hit a dead end. After losing key witnesses and failing to gather enough support from House Republicans, Comer was forced to admit defeat in his Biden impeachment crusade. It’s a moment that many of us saw coming, given the lack of evidence and the sheer absurdity of the claims made against the President.
Comer’s fundraising emails, filled with baseless accusations and wild claims of criminal activity by the Biden family, were nothing more than a desperate attempt to cling onto a sinking ship.… Continue reading
