The right-wing think tank has been pushing misinformation about voting into social media feeds. The Georgia secretary of state’s office called one video “a stunt.”
In July, two men went door to door at a sprawling apartment complex in Norcross, Ga., an Atlanta suburb that is a hub for the region’s fast-growing Latino population, asking residents if they were U.S. citizens and whether they were registered to vote.
Speaking in Spanish, often peeking from behind half-closed doors, seven people told the men that they were not citizens but that they were registered to vote.
Although the two men claimed to represent a company helping Latinos navigate the election system, they were actually working with the Heritage Foundation and carrying a hidden camera. Days later, the conservative think tank posted a video on the social media platform X containing some of the footage the men had captured, calling it “staggering” evidence that 14 percent of noncitizens in Georgia — which Heritage said extrapolated to more than 47,000 people — were registered to vote.
“Based on our findings,” the video concluded, “the integrity of the 2024 election is in great jeopardy.”
The video was reposted by Elon Musk, X’s owner, who called it “extremely disturbing.” It quickly went viral.
But under scrutiny, those claims do not hold up. Three of the seven people Heritage filmed later said they had misspoken. State investigators found no evidence that any of the seven people on the tape had ever registered to vote. A spokesman for Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, called the video “a stunt.”

I am tempted to buy you an online subscription to stop posting NYT fake news here. Malinformation: information that it true and factual but inherently harmful to the Democratic Party.

State investigators, LED BY STEVIE WONDER, found no evidence
Fixed it.
No one believes the NYT.
End conversation.
Sayi g its a stunt doesn’t at all prove its a stunt. Heritage Foundation is a more reputable group than any leftwing or leftwingmedia group out there.

You mispleted “whinging.” The NYT is a Marxist propaganda operation in league with globalists (see Great Reset, ~2030) and the enemies of Israel (Haman/Hitler/Hamas)*. But the time for honoring themselves will soon be at an end.
* see Principalities, Powers, Rulers of the darkness of this world, Spiritual Wickedness in heavenly places (see the Second Heaven).
This is not a game. This is a war between good and evil. When the devil and his angels are cast out of the Second Heaven (Revelation 12) onto Earth, and the Nephilim are released (restrainer removed) from their gloomy dungeons to walk the Earth again (see days of Noah), then the end will come (see Revelation 11:15):
And the seventh angel sounded (seventh trumpet); and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
In the end, evil will be nihil, nothing. Behold, mercy triumphs over judgment.
And your solution is to stick your head in the sand and pretend they don't exist.
The fact that you have to make a big deal out of an obvious typo is pathetic.
As long as we are on that level, your punctuation of the apostrophe

Your reply doesn’t even make sense. Your assertion that I “stick my head in the sand” is based on a false premise, a product of your turbid motivated reasoning. Theatricality & deception are powerful agents to the uninitiated, used to confuse the uninformed. “But we are initiated, aren’t we?”
My rebuttal to your NYT postings here on FR is evidence that my head is in a place where there is light; where your head may be is anyone’s guess. I conclude that you are projecting your own insecurities. I reaffirm my position that your NYT postings here are annoying and intellectually dishonest.
I would read a few NYT articles online but links to these articles contain a pay wall. I am confident that I am more informed about the truth than I would have been by reading the NYT.

Are you aware that “the crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe”?
Ackshully, I used an asterisk, not an apostrophe (to indicate that there is a limiting fact or consideration which makes that thing less important).

When losing an argument online, liberals typically resort to correcting grammar and punctuation, totally oblivious to the possibility that typos may be for copyright purposes, or perhaps shibboleths of this particular froup, in my own particular, er, idiom.

You are projecting again. You assume too much my FRF. I never suggested that your annoying NYT posts be banned. I just gave you my opinion based on the fact that the NYT articles you post here are intellectually dishonest, worthless propaganda. You don’t seriously believe this crap, do you?
A note to journalists: “the idea is to try to give all of the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another. “ Richard Feynman
The Heritage Foundation used to be a premier conservative froup that adhered to conservative principles, policies that work like, individual liberty, religious freedom, free speech, Natural Law and faith in God Almighty, lower taxes, less regulations, a strong defense, energy dominance through domestic sources of oil and natural gas, promoting the success of small businesses, protecting the 2nd Amendment, strong support for Israel, depriving Iran of resources that they use to fund terrorists, promoting a balanced budget, school choice, protecting the rights of the unborn, fair trade, free and fair elections (the Dems cheat, we all know it), et al.
Conservatives push back against the following leftist stupidity: climate alarmists, open borders/illegal immigration, defunding the police, foreign policy blunders (Afghanistan, Russia/Ukraine, Israel, Iran, China), mandatory gun buybacks, lockdowns, mask and vaccine mandates, EV mandates, allowing illegal aliens to vote, receive healthcare, housing and cash, all at tax payers’ expense, woke policies that are nothing more than Cultural Marxism, right out of Mao’s little red book (Walz has copies from China), men in women sports, Critical Race Theory, gender confusion and child mutilation, the Inflation Explosion Act which was the Green Raw Deal in disguise, corruption at the highest levels of government who are plotting to assassinate President Trump. We must hold these criminals accountable.
Project2025 offers recommendations, nothing more. Trump did not initiate this project. He has nothing to do with it but the left tells lies. The problem with Project2025 is that some contributors to the document had strayed away from conservative principles (ex: fair trade vs. free trade). There is an intersection with the conservative policies that Trump implemented but the document contains policy misalignments. Trump has never endorsed the project because of these disagreements. A primary goal of Project2025 is a plan to dismantle the Deep State and the Democrats are very afraid of that. [2] See for yourself.

That's why I post them, Einstein, to demonstrate how bankrupt the enemy is.
I have an idea! If you don't like them, don't click on them!
My superpower is bypassing paywalls, Karen.
Yours appears to be whining.
Dozens of people respond to the articles, meaning people are interested in them. As Saul Alinski said, "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon," and posting them gives people the opportunity to ridicule them.
If you don't like them you could try not clicking on them.

Are your feelings hurt? Aww. Perhaps a colorful metaphor would be appropriate. I’m thinking of something in the present participle used as a meaningless intensive, usually considered vulgar. I’ll pass.

I am the “Whinging Truffle of Tripe.” I excel at whinging. You didn’t know that? I guess you don’t know everything. Liberals think they are far superior in intelligence than all others. I am laughing at the superior intellect.

Yes, rule #5. Saul Alinski dedicated his “Rules for Radicals” to Lucifer. Prolly not a good thing. Now the ruthless, cold-blooded, reptilian, Democrats are running the country. Both Hillary and Obama were dedicated disciples of Saul Alinski. BTW, so is Kamala, a useful idiot of the Deep State.

And I would add rule of the left: “The end justifies the means.”

When losing an argument, liberals often resort to intimidation via credentials. An argument from authority is weak, but you knew that right? I guess we should all bow in dogmatic acceptance to the New World Order, The Great Reset, circa 2030.
“We will not strike a blow, but we will receive them. And through our pain we will make them see their injustice, and it will hurt — as all fighting hurts. But we cannot lose. We cannot. They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me. Then, they will have my dead body — not my obedience.”

There you go again, making bold conclusions based on invalid assumptions, twisting what I say into a lie that fits your false narrative. I am all for free speech, unlike liberals who prefer to censor ideas that they find offensive.
Your prolific postings fill up this forum with biased NYT titles that are designed to attack conservatives, “and there is no truth detector.”
I believe that you are deliberately trying to disrupt and infect this open forum with poisonous renderings and false accusations without evidence.
BTW, God is the center of the universe, didn’t you know that?
