Always enjoy the scripted naivete the media employs instead of just acknowledging what everyone else knows, this regime lies. It lies as a matter of procedure. It lies out of disrespect for itself. It lies, cause it can.

Not to be a conspiracist, yet it would be in the regime's interest to have a covid outbreak disrupt the 2026 elections, hence why they want to ban mail-in ballots.

Considering that is an amount greater the annual U.S. budget, did anyone in the media ask them how are they going to use the 'surplus'? ~service the debt? ~issue tax payer rebates? ~fund something other than federal law enforcement?

It seems like a desired outcome is manufacturing cheap speculation. There is enough squishy information out there, barking for eyeballs isn't productive.

At this point in time, it's smart to assume that the people in the current "Republican Political Party" ~ Whatever that means now, and whoever they really are. Are willing to say or do anything. No matter how unreasonable. No matter the damage they cause, through misinformation & miseducation.

They simply cannot bring themselves to report the simple truth out of fear of actually doing what everyone expects them to do.

ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!

A couples words from James 2... 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

"Faith in action" means that one's belief or trust in God, a spiritual truth, or a cause is demonstrated through outward behaviors, deeds, and actions, not just by words or thoughts. If he was more than just a performative Christian, he'd know this.

There are approximately 430,000 to 450,000 members in the U.S. National Guard, which includes both the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard. There are approximately 130,000 to 131,000 K-12 schools in the United States. Looks like they could swing 3 members per school.

I think the Trump regime is so overconfident that it will stumble into a tipping point that will cause their benign supporters to defect. I don't think they can suppress the entire nation. It's simply too big, too distributed and too diverse.

When it comes to Trump's constant pressure and overreach, mainstream journalism takes a "you made me hit you" posture. Every decision, tactic and strategy is questioned through the lens of what HE will do in reaction. It's time to stop, and just push back against wrong.

Media's own version of the "Kitty Genovese syndrome". The bystander effect is explained by factors like diffusion of responsibility (assuming others will act), pluralistic ignorance (interpreting others' inaction as a sign no action is needed), and evaluation apprehension (fear of being judged).
