Stepping on Rakes
American Thinker ^ | 30 Oct, 2025 | Kevin Finn

The recent news cycle has showcased stunning examples of leftists earning near-constant ridicule as their fabrications blow up in their faces. The Left's moral posturing crumbles under even cursory scrutiny and reveals a consistent pattern of hypocrisy, fabrication, and embrace of extremism. References to pots and kettles, glass houses, specks, beams, rakes, and petards are all getting a workout, and it's glorious to behold. Conservatives are basking in schadenfreude, needing only videos of Democrats performing perp walks to make our joy complete.

New York assemblyman Zohran Mamdani claimed his hijab-wearing aunt faced Islamophobic harassment on the subway post-9/11, and tried to frame Muslims as the true victims. Investigation quickly revealed the aunt neither wore a hijab nor lived in NY in 2001 -- she resided in Tanzania from 2000 to 2003. We were unsurprised, but once again disgusted, to see another leftist exploiting tragedy for political gain while dismissing the 3,000 American lives lost.

Democrats are criticizing Pam Bondi, claiming she's "weaponizing the Justice Department" and doing Trump's bidding. Evidently they've forgotten who JFK's Attorney General was, just as they've apparently forgotten about Obama's "wingman." Conservatives have been busy reminding the Left of how they weaponized the Justice Department against people like Peter Navarro, Roger Stone, General Mike Flynn, and yes, Donald J. Trump.

Celebrities amplify similar falsehoods so often that it’s rare to hear of one who actually supports America, (i.e., Jon Voight, Kelsey Grammar, and Tim Allen). Stephen King shared a fabricated screenshot alleging President Trump would snub the World Series champions due to California and Canadian origins. Newsweek's fact-check confirmed the claim originated from satire; Trump issued a neutral statement wishing both teams well. Yet King's million-view post spread unchecked, highlighting the Left's eagerness to smear without verification. That is, of course, their stock-in-trade.

You can tell when a leftist isn’t lying by the silence.

They lie with ease because their master is the father of lies.

Went golfing this weekend. The best to balls I hit was when I stepped on a rake.
