We’ve grown used to the media’s joining with the Democrats to attack every move by the President, but it is still something to watch the lies and distortions about the war in Iran where the press smears the troops in the middle of battle. Using the latest technology and working closely with the IDF and IAF, our military has achieved the most remarkable, unpredicted achievements in a matter of days. On the other hand, most major media coverage denigrates this accomplishment and regrettably advocates for our enemies.

The week began with reports that the Department of War wasted money buying lobsters and rib steaks for the troops. Actually, more money on these foods was spent by SNAP recipients.

SNAP Shock: Far many more millions in Food Aid Spent on King Crab, Lobster & Steaks than the Department of War From an official government research study of $6.58 billion dollars in SNAP expenditures, $1.9 million dollars were spent on king crab, $2.2 million dollars were spent on lobster and $28.4 million on select beef loins. Federal SNAP spending in 2024 was $99.8 billion. Scaled up, that means SNAP recipients spent $28.8 million dollars on king crab, $33.36 million dollars on lobster, and $430.75 million on steaks.

Those SNAPpers know you have to buy raw lobster tails. SNAP won’t pay for cooked lobster. So frugal for SNAP.

Professor William Jacobson nails it:” We are watching an info op in real time from the mainstream media, not just influencers. A complete demoralization campaign fighting strawman arguments based on anonymous sources. CNN, the Guardian, the New York Times, they are all singing one tune. It’s the Russia collusion hoax all over again.”

The media whines about high gas prices that Trump caused with the war in Iran but not concerned with the other option a nuclear bombs on a us.

The media being the media it never changes.

For those who are shocked at the quick emergence of anti war propaganda by the Soros paid propaganda machine, the day after 9/11 the left launched the narrative that America had it coming and that the war on terror was a quagmire.
