It was proven in court that Trump didn’t have an affair, that Michael Cohen embezzled money, and that Cohen used that money to pay for his affair with Stormy.

The news has been lying to you since before 9/11/2001. What’s it going to take to listen to someone else who’s going to share the news and not their pre-approved opinion?

**Also, you must have missed that Kamala interview where she admits that Trump isn’t connected to Project 2025.

**You must have also missed that one of The Heritage Foundation’s Founders was voting for Kamala.

Leave the MSM echo chamber while you still can. There’s SO much truth that they’re hiding from you.

Y’all realize that A) Doug is NOT a candidate in this race and B) there is a candidate in the race who had an affair with a porn star while his wife was pregnant and illegally used campaign funds to pay her off! Maybe THAT should be the story!!!

The Globalists and their propaganda front, the MSM, keep using the 75M number for Trump supporters. It’s a Psyop and conditioning. Most will hear it enough and just believe it.

Don’t fall prey.

IF you believe the 2020 numbers, 74M voted for Trump (74 out of 135). The media agrees to that number. Trump’s more popular now…Now that he’s more popular, his voters have gone up just 1M? That doesn’t make sense. It would make more sense if his numbers were closer to 100M.

But the media can’t have you know that.

Yet that’s what early voting shows.

So the Globalist names for Americans are isolated to this small group of people. They continue to ratchet up the rhetoric in hopes of scaring the majority of Americans.

It’s not working.

The Trump Train is 100M and growing. When we win, we break the mockingbird media’s hold on society and tear off the puppet strings limiting society.

That’s what they fear: losing control and losing power.

They cannot control Trump; that’s why they hate him so much. That’s also why they hate everyone who doesn’t swallow their shit like it’s the best thing for you. They hate you for abandoning them. The first step in breaking their power is to stop watching their news. The second is to vote Trump/Vance/RFKjr/Elon/Tulsi/Ron Paul/and more and break their media’s grip on society.

Carrying water for fascist Trump, then lying about it, is MAGA purity test.

Youngkin serves Putin/Trump. Citizens of Virginia be damned.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

Two Fox News Channel interviews bracketed today: one this morning with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in front of an audience of hand-picked Republican women in Georgia, the other by Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris with host Bret Baier. Together, the two were a performance of dominance. 

FNC billed Trump’s so-called town hall as a chance for female voters, a demographic that is swinging heavily to Harris, to ask Trump about issues they care about. But Hadas Gold and Liam Reilly of CNN reported that FNC had packed the audience with Trump supporters. The first question came from the president of the Fulton County Republican Women, though she was not identified as such. FNC then edited the broadcast to cut out remarks in which the attendees expressed support for Trump. 

It seems unlikely that Trump attracted any new voters by speaking to an audience of loyalists audibly cheering him on.

After Trump refused to debate her again, Harris voluntarily moved into his right-wing territory, agreeing to an interview with FNC host Bret Baier. In that interview, Baier reframed right-wing talking points as questions, essentially giving Trump a second shot at a debate. Baier kept talking over the vice president’s attempts to answer—even putting out a hand to interrupt her—in a stark contrast to FNC’s deference to Trump. Harris asked him to let her reply, and then answered his questions, sometimes testily, usually turning them into opportunities to contrast her own candidacy and record with Trump’s. 

Control of the interview changed abruptly when Harris called out Trump for referring to the “enemy within” and talking about using the American military against those he considers enemies. Baier used that opportunity to show a clip of Trump saying he wasn’t threatening anyone, but the clip was edited to remove his threats against “sick,” “evil,” “dangerous” “Marxists and communists and fascists” including Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) and “the Pelosis”—presumably former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and her husband, who was attacked by a man with a hammer in 2022 by a man who wanted to force Nancy Pelosi to renounce the investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign’s ties to Russia. 

Harris had had enough propaganda.

“Bret, I'm sorry, and with all due respect, that clip was not what he has been saying about the enemy within that he has repeated when he’s speaking about the American people. That's not what you just showed…. You and I both know that he’s talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him. This is a democracy. And in a democracy, the president of the United States in the United States of America should be… able to handle criticism without saying he’d lock people up for doing it. And this is what is at stake, which is why you have someone like the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff saying what Mark Milley has said about Donald Trump being a threat to the United States of America.” 

Simply by going on the right-wing network, Harris was demonstrating dominance. Then, by answering as thoroughly as she did, she undercut the right-wing narrative that she is stupid and inarticulate. By calling out the FNC for deliberately misleading its viewers, she took command. Baier, rather than Harris, was the one doing the post-interview spinning.

Writer Peter Wehner, who worked for presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush, wrote: “Bret Baier has rarely looked as bad (or tendentious) as he did in his interview with Kamala Harris. On the flip side, this was one of her best interviews. She dominated Bret. All in all it was quite a bad day for MAGA world's most important media outlet.”

In between the two FNC events were two others that also told a story, this one about how the Republican Party’s descent into MAGA is creating a new political coalition to defend American principles.

Trump held a town hall with undecided Latino voters moderated by Mexican journalist Enrique Acevedo for Univision. Members of the audience asked excellent questions: how would he bring down household costs, who would take the jobs left behind by undocumented workers if Trump deported them and how much would that drive up food costs, why Trump took so long to stop the January 6 rioters, if he had caused deaths during the pandemic by misleading Americans, and if he agrees with his wife, Melania, about protecting abortion rights. 

But Trump did not answer the questions, instead regurgitating his usual talking points. He promised to produce more oil and gas, called undocumented immigrants criminals, repeated the lie about Haitian migrants eating pets, and, after notably referring to the January 6 rioters as “we” and law enforcement officers as “the others,” called January 6 “a day of love.” The audience did not appear convinced.

Meanwhile, Vice President Harris joined more than 100 Republicans in Pennsylvania, near the spot where George Washington and more than 2,000 Continental soldiers crossed the Delaware River on Christmas night 1776 to surprise a garrison of British soldiers at Trenton, New Jersey, where they won a strategic victory. 

Harris noted that those gathered were also near Philadelphia, where in 1787 delegates from across the country gathered to write and sign the U.S. Constitution. 

“That work was not easy. The founders often disagreed. Often quite passionately. But in the end, the Constitution of the United States laid out the foundations of our democracy, including the rule of law, that there would be checks and balances, that we would have free and fair elections and a peaceful transfer of power. And these principles and traditions have sustained our nation for over two centuries, sustained because generations of Americans, from all backgrounds, from all beliefs, have cherished them, upheld them, and defended them. 

“And now, the baton is in our hands,” she said. [A]t stake in this race are the democratic ideals that our founders and generations of Americans before us have fought for. At stake in this election is the Constitution of the United States…its very self.” 

Harris welcomed the Republicans in the crowd, saying that everyone there shared a core belief: “That we must put country before party.” The crowd chanted, “USA, USA, USA.” 

Harris noted that many of the Republicans on stage had taken the same oath to the Constitution that she had. “We here know the Constitution is not a relic from our past, but determines whether we are a country where the people can speak freely, and even criticize the president, without fear of being thrown in jail, or targeted by the military. Where the people can worship as they choose without the government interfering. Where you can vote without fear that your vote will be thrown away. All this and more depends on whether or not our leaders honor their oath to the Constitution.”

Trump, she pointed out, tried to overturn the will of the people expressed in a free and fair election, has vowed to use the military to go after any American who doesn’t support him, and has called for the “termination” of the Constitution. “It is clear,” she said, “Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unhinged, and he is seeking unchecked power.” Trump, she said, “must never again stand behind the seal of the President of the United States.”

“And to those who are watching,” she said, “if you share that view, no matter your party, no matter who you voted for last time: There is a place for you in this campaign. The coalition we have built has room for everyone who is ready to turn the page on the chaos and instability of Donald Trump.”

“I pledge to you to be a President for all Americans. And I take that pledge seriously.”

She reiterated her promise to appoint a Republican to her cabinet and to establish a Council on Bipartisan Solutions to strengthen the middle class, secure the border, defend our freedoms, and maintain the nation’s leadership in the world. She noted that the country needs a healthy two-party system, and described how the Senate Intelligence Committee left partisanship at the door. It “was “country over party in action,” when she sat on the committee, she said, “[s]o I know it can be done.”

“[O]ur campaign is not a fight against something,” she said. “It is a fight for something. It is a fight for the fundamental principles upon which we were founded, It is a fight for a new generation of leadership that is optimistic about what we can achieve together—Republicans, Democrats, and independents who want to move past the politics of division and blame and get things done on behalf of the American people.

“[W]e are all here together this beautiful afternoon because we love our country…and we know the deep privilege and pride that comes with being an American and the duty that comes along with it…. Imperfect though we may be, America is still that ‘shining city upon a hill’ that inspires people around the world. And I do believe it is one of the highest forms of patriotism to fight for the ideals of our country.”

“So, to people from across Pennsylvania, and across our nation, let us together stand up for the rule of law, for our democratic ideals, and for the Constitution of the United States. And in twenty days, we have the power to chart a New Way Forward, one that is worthy of this magnificent country that we are all blessed to call home.”

Something I find really interesting about XCOM:EU/EW is Dr. Shen's and Vahlen's rivalry. They explicitly disagree on almost every front, and surface level it shows to be a generic Engineer vs. Scientist rivalry, given that's what they are. But in reality, it evolves into Shen being more reserved and Vahlen being all gung-ho. Shen is even hesitant about things that HE comes up with, like the MEC units, because of the Floaters. When the first soldier with The Gift is discovered, he's the only chatterer that talks about the moral obligations to "prepare them for what they're about to experience." The ONLY time where Vahlen shows restraint is upon the discovery of Elite EXALT, where she states that "It seems EXALT has been working quickly to incorporate alien genetic material into their own soldiers. However, I would never suggest we take such an... unrestrained approach."

"I got my concussion during the second episode of the first season called 'The Enemy Within' where Major Kowalsky throws me against the back of the elevator. They had a shot of my face, so I couldn't use a stunt double and I smacked my head against the back of the elevator and dropped down, so when you actually see Carter drop down to the corner of the elevator slumped into a pathetic little heap, that was really Amanda slumped into a pathetic little heap."

How does “adding an apostrophe” fix the problem? Yes, they think you are this dumb.

They hid Hunter Biden’s drug and child sex trafficking. Hiding Joe’s “garbage” comment towards 100M adult Americans is small by comparison.

Bigger question: Why does anyone trust what the media says about anything? How many times does it take for us to catch them lying that any of you still believe a damn word they say?
