President Joe Biden on Thursday appeared to forget meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell as recently as two years ago. “I’ve never once spoken to the chairman of the Fed since I became president,” Biden said, falsely, in a speech at the Economic Club of Washington. Biden met with Powell as recently as May 2022 in the Oval Office. This was Powell’s third in-person meeting with President Biden, according to Bloomberg. Biden nominated Powell to a second term as chair of the Fed in November 2021. Biden’s false statement was meant to contrast his approach to the Fed with...

Vice President Kamala Harris issued a slew of false claims and hoaxes that ABC debate moderators did not fact check during Tuesday’s debate against former President Donald Trump. Here are 21 false claims and hoaxes that Harris uttered on live television, in front of millions of Americans: 1. “Very fine people” hoax Harris claimed Trump called neo-Nazis in Charlottesville “very fine people,” a widely known hoax that Democrats continue to repeat, despite it being debunked for years by numerous outlets, including by the left-wing fact checking website Snopes. 2. Project 2025 hoax Harris accused Trump of wanting to implement Project...

Governor Maura Healey (D-MA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that former President Donald Trump’s proposal to have the government or insurance companies cover in vitro fertilization (IVF) was not believable because he “will say anything and everything depending on where the wind is blowing.” Healey said, “You can’t take this seriously. I mean, this isn’t just a Republican — and by the way, I work well with Republicans — this is Donald Trump, who will say anything and everything depending on where the wind is blowing. He caught some heat the other day, you know, and so he...

There are plenty of good web browsers to use, and Firefox and its Waterfox spinoff, most of the time, are good. But I noticed something the other day about both of them. I was trying to log onto this Conservative shopping site called “Patriot Depot”, and when I would put the web address in, it would automatically re-direct to Google. This was true for both of them. I tried this with my other browsers, and the site came on just fine with them. Perhaps some lefty programmer at Firefox put a re-direct as a practical joke. If true, given that...

Former national security adviser John Bolton said Thursday that former President Trump has trouble differentiating between fact and fiction. “Look, Trump can’t tell the difference between what’s true and what’s false,” Bolton said on CNN’s “The Source with Kaitlan Collins.” “It’s not that he lies a lot, because to lie, you have to do it consciously. He just can’t tell the difference.”

Almost 200 people have been charged in a nationwide operation probing false health care claims involving approximately $2.75 billion in losses, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Thursday. Under its 2024 National Health Care Fraud Enforcement Action, the DOJ filed charges against 193 defendants, including 76 doctors, nurse practitioners and other licensed medical professionals in 32 different federal districts across the country. The DOJ said in a nationwide law enforcement action, the government seized “over $231 million in cash, luxury vehicles, gold, and other assets.” “It does not matter if you are a trafficker in a drug cartel or a...

The most high-profile opponent of Australia’s brutal COVID-19 lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and violent suppression of public criticism has been Monica Smit. Her resistance is continuing. She has announced that she will be suing the Victoria police. The court case is scheduled for July 23 and is expected to take 15 days.

Perhaps the biggest challenge against Christians from skeptics, Jews, Muslims, and others is that the prophecies of Jesus and the writers of the New Testament failed. So, if Jesus and his followers were false prophets, Christianity falls. Consider these quotes: “Say what you like, we shall be told, the apocalyptic beliefs of the first Christians have been proved to be false. It is clear from the New Testament that they all expected the Second Coming in their own lifetime. And, worse still, they had a reason, and one which you will find very embarrassing. Their Master had told them so....

On February 15, 2024, the day after the Kansas City Chiefs’ parade shooting, Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated the false claim that gun violence is the No. 1 killer of children. Harris used a post to X to say, “Gun violence is the number one cause of death for children of America—not some form of illness or car accidents.” She made this same claim in July 2023, and Breitbart News fact-checked the claim, noting numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show firearm-related deaths for children aged 0-17 were 2,281 in 2020, while the number of motor...

Citizen Free Press Why didn't the judge in the E Jean Carroll trial not want these tweets by Carroll shown in court The System Is Rigged! It’s Time To Take It Down… MJTruthUltra @MJTruthUltra Trumps Attorney, Goes Scorched Earth - “Don’t get it Twisted!” “Before I walked into court, that judge decided that every single defense President Trump had, we were not allowed to raise in front of the jury…. There was no Proof! And I couldn’t prove: • That she didn’t bring in the dress • There was no DNA • Experts were denied to come in • They...

It was less than three weeks ago, December 5, when the name of Claudine Gay, President of Harvard University, suddenly burst into the news. That was the day that she, along with the Presidents of Penn and MIT, testified before Congress — and could not give a clear answer as to whether it was against the policy at their schools to call for the genocide of Jews. All three women attempted to use the occasion to paint themselves as defenders of free speech, particularly important in such extreme cases. Manhattan Contrarian readers already knew that Ms. Gay was the opposite...

What are we to make of this rapid, cross-denominational apostasy?2 The fact of this phenomenon is a clear example of culture reporter Megan Basham’s recent warning: “You may have wanted to avoid this subject, but you cannot avoid it any longer. [LGBT ideology] is coming to your church, no matter how solid you think it is.”3 Those who cannot see this are woefully ignorant of the times. Yet the cause of this phenomenon is anything but recent. Indeed, the “journey” that leads to this dead end (let the reader understand) is so well worn that one can see it from...

A resounding question asked by many today is, “Where is America in Biblical prophecy?” The simple answer is that our nation will still exist during the Great Tribulation period, but our military power and socio-economic position will have been diminished to the level of a godless, base nation. For many years this was a hard reality for many American believers to grasp because in many ways it was so hard to see! But by faith in God's Word, we knew it must be! Joe Biden in my opinion is the demonic stage setter for the Anti-Christ who is to come...

Most of what is called Christianity today in America is very, very weak, causing the apostasy, which drives any nation. No one wants to deal with it and, when you do, you are mocked, called names, etc. Why? Well, when people cannot defend their position from God's Word, they are left to personally attack you, which is what they did to those in Scripture. The difference is that then soon here, the attacks were bodily, to the point of death by crucifixion, upside down in Peter's case, in Jerusalem. Not a single person in Scripture dealt with heresy nicely, nor...

Electric vehicle manufacturers have exaggerating the driving range of their vehicles by more than twice as much as advertised in some cases, according to a study by SAE International. On average, electric vehicles (EV) fall short of their advertised range by 12.5%, according to a study by SAE International. The study included 21 different brands, and revealed that EV manufacturers as a whole inflate the range of their vehicles far beyond their actual capabilities. Tesla seems to be inflating the numbers far more than other brands. SAE International revealed that the range displayed on Tesla vehicle’s dashboard is 26% lower...

Rumors of altered images in some of the research papers published by Stanford University President Marc Tessier-Lavigne had circulated since 2015. But the allegations involving the neuroscientist got little attention beyond the niche scientific forum where they first appeared — until Stanford freshman Theo Baker decided to take a closer look. Baker, a journalist for the Stanford Daily, published his first story on problems surrounding Tessier-Lavigne’s research in November. His dogged reporting kicked off a chain of events that culminated this week with the president’s announcement that he would step down from his post at the end of August. Tessier-Lavigne...

THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST: DOES IT SAVE US?(Ecclesiastes 12:12 [KJV]) And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. WHEN YOU GO INTO THE MAINSTREAM YOU FLOAT DOWNSTREAM, and God never once asked you to follow any man, only Him. Even Paul said to follow him as he follows Christ. A mainstream rank heresy, out out by some famous preachers, such as John MacArthur, of another Gospel (Galatians 1) is that the Blood never saves us. Jesus Christ could have been strangled, whatever,...

There’s an event recorded in the Gospel of Matthew in which Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, and his disciples asked him what the sign of the end of the age would be. Jesus replied, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.” At least one of those deceivers is turning out to be an AI called “ask_jesus.”

It's Walters v. OpenAI L.L.C., No. 23-A-04860-2, filed in Gwinnett Co. (GA) yesterday. An excerpt from the Complaint (please note both that the Complaint is just an allegation,that the statements quoted in it about Walters are allegedly entirely made up, not by some human accuser but by a hallucinating AI program): 8. Fred Riehl is a third party who works for a media outlet [Ammoland.com] as a journalist and who is a subscriber of ChatGPT. 9. On May 4, 2023, Riehl interacted with ChatGPT about a lawsuit (the "Lawsuit") that Riehl was reporting on. 10. The Lawsuit is in federal...

E. Jean Carroll on Monday filed court papers seeking “very substantial” monetary damages from former President Donald Trump for his scathing remarks about her at a CNN town hall on the heels of losing a $5 million lawsuit by her earlier this month. Carroll’s move came as her lawyers asked a Manhattan federal court judge for permission to amend the original defamation lawsuit she filed against Trump to reflect his new statements on CNN about her, which they say likewise are defamatory. Carroll’s new proposed amended lawsuit notes that during his CNN town hall interview on May 10, “Trump falsely...
