The fact that there is a large group of Americans who find value and esteem in being marketed as this marginalized segregative demographic that borders on being a separate species is beyond appalling. It is absolute truth that the only thing liberals have done for these people is give them a massive inferiority complex that has asphyxiated common sense and led to the denunciation of modernity. Take Joe Biden, a vulgar, diaper-wearing, drunkard haunted by accusations of sexual molestation, including strong suggestions of his participating in the sexual molestation of his daughter and granddaughter. Biden had the unmitigated gall to...

Speaking Thursday during Axios’ The Infodemic Age event, White House climate adviser Gina McCarthy claimed so-called misinformation regarding climate change is a threat to public health.

BRUSSELS — Faced with the prospect that the war in Ukraine will be long and grinding, NATO countries are divided on how best to manage the next stage of the conflict and the uncertain period that promises to follow.Central European members like Poland and the Baltic states want a total break with Moscow and an effort to bring Russia to its knees, two senior Western officials said. They worry that anything that Russia can present as a victory will do serious damage to European security.But other nations believe that Russia cannot be easily subdued and that the war’s outcome is...

I read something very sad recently. It seems a 68-year-old climate-change activist in British Columbia has been under a doctor's care since 2017 with "eco-anxiety and biosphere-related depression" to the point where his condition has become "debilitating." He is now seeking a medically related death (assisted suicide) to stop the pain. Until this point, this man's request for assisted suicide had been denied because "his condition was not an 'acceptable, permissible malady.'" However, in March of 2023, someone whose only medical condition is mental illness will be eligible, so this man is reapplying. And see, this is what concerns me...

Connecticut officials are looking to hire what has been described as a “misinformation sheriff” ahead of the 2022 midterm elections amid fears of the spread of what the elites consider to be election “misinformation.” The $150,000 hire is part of the state’s larger effort to “educate” the public on all matters related to the elections prior to the midterms. A copy of Gov. Ned Lamont’s (D) midterm budget contends that “malicious foreign actors have demonstrated the motivation and capability to significantly disrupt election activities, thus undermining public confidence in the fairness and accuracy of election results.”

The World Economic Forum and the globalist movement it helps lead have used the "climate crisis" and the COVID-19 pandemic as pretexts for measures to redistribute the wealth of nations. But this week, as WEF convenes is annual conference in Davos, Switzerland, the Arctic sea ice expanse so far this month is at a 30-year high, according to data from intergovernmental European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, points out climate-change skeptic Tony Heller. EUMETSAT, as the organization is known, was created through an international convention signed by 30 European nations. The extent of Arctic ice during the warmer...

During an interview on MSNBC on Monday, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) argued that social media platforms should be regulated, but “You don’t have to regulate speech, you can regulate misinformation. You could say, you can’t yell ‘Fire!’ in a theater.” There are “many ways you can abrogate speech rights that are consistent with the Constitution.” And that for “an 18-year-old to develop such hatred in his heart through media platforms that do not have any regulation is a problem. And so, we need commonsense, thoughtful regulation.” Gillibrand stated, “The problem is, you have a mentally ill 18-year-old who had this...

The constant gaslighting of America over whose fault the soaring cost of living just went to ’11’ on the ‘do you think we are all f**king stupid’ scale. As Matt Margolis points out, it has been a wild ride for the blame-shifting until now… In the course of a year, we’ve gone from “inflation will be transitory,” to “inflation is a good thing,” to “inflation started under Trump,” to “it’s Putin’s price hike.” Polls show that no one was buying the blame-Putin strategy, so Biden and the Democrats are now accusing oil companies of price gouging. And now the blame...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher criticized pushes to deal with social media disinformation for always focusing “on the producers, never the consumers, as if we’re all helpless, dumb blondes ready to believe anything” and said that “sorting out the lies from the truth is your job.” Maher stated, “Since this is Mother’s Day weekend, let’s pause and take a moment to think about how your mother was always there for you, looking after you, and keeping you safe, and then realize, that’s not Twitter’s job. Keeping you safe and sorting out the lies from the...

The Food and Drug Administration said the shot should only be given to adults who cannot receive a different vaccine or specifically request J&J's vaccine. U.S. authorities for months have recommended that Americans starting their COVID-19 vaccinations use the Pfizer or Moderna shots instead. FDA officials said in a statement that they decided to restrict J&J's vaccine after taking another look at data on the risk of life-threatening blood clots within two weeks of vaccination. J&J's vaccine was initially considered an important tool in fighting the pandemic because it required only one shot. But the single-dose option proved less effective...

Ky., join 'Sunday Morning Futures' to react to the Department of Homeland Security's new Disinformation Governance Board to combat online disinformation and discuss the Bidens' business dealings.

After Kerry laid out some of the administration’s goals, Mitchell wanted to know about concrete steps. While doing so she lamented that world events have caused gas prices to raise and people don’t like high gas prices: You know, let's—let’s-- agree that he has laid out, you know, some extraordinary goals and made some promises and that Congress does hold a lot of this in their hands. But, but there have been big events, like the war and, you know, Russian sanctions, the sanctions on Russian oil and he's had to go to the strategic reserves and put out more...

VIDEOWhen liberals are confronted by TRUTH that they can't handle, they often label it as "misinformation" As part of this technique they frequently use "fact checking" which in reality often avoids the inconvenient facts in favor of only approved "facts" which often is either incomplete or downright false.As you can see in this video, "misinformation" and "fact checking" have also been weaponized by liberal school boards against parents in order to suppress the very inconvenient FACTS that they bring up. In this case you can see this weaponization of misinformation" being utilized by the Londonderry, New Hampshire school board against...

On April 21 former President (at least officially) Barack Obama gave a speech at Stanford University for their Cyber Policy Center called, “Challenges to Democracy in the Digital Information Realm.” In that speech, Obama mentioned “misinformation” about Covid vaccines online and claimed, “People are dying because of misinformation.” Obama was right that misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines is killing people—but he’s totally wrong about what the misinformation is. The government, media, and big corporation lies about the “safety” and “efficacy” of Covid vaccines, and the mandates many cities or companies imposed, have caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and adverse events....

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Thursday to CNN Kasie Hunt that while it was unpleasant to maintain his integrity, he had no choice but to correct former President Donald Trump during the White House 2020 COVID press conferences if the president was forwarding misinformation. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “In our health lead, Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical advisor, opened up to Kasie Hunt of CNN about how he became a lightning rod for criticism during his time in the Trump administration. Take a listen.”

Yesterday, interviewer and controversy junkie Piers Morgan released a deceptively edited clip on social media appearing to show a contentious end to an interview between himself and former President Donald Trump. The clip released by Morgan’s team appeared to show Trump getting angry and storming out mid-interview, likely a ploy to increase ratings for Morgan’s new show, Piers Morgan Uncensored.

Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder Patrisse Cullors has spoken against a report that reveals her organization’s purchase of a $5.8 million mansion in southern California, calling the story a “racist and sexist” attack on the movement.Patrisse Cullors attends an event in West Hollywood, Calif., on Feb. 13, 2020.

(Via NBC) – […] three U.S. officials told NBC News this week there is no evidence Russia has brought any chemical weapons near Ukraine. They said the U.S. released the [mis]information to deter Russia from using the banned munitions. […] Coordinated by the White House National Security Council, the unprecedented intelligence releases have been so frequent and voluminous, officials said, that intelligence agencies had to devote more staff members to work on the declassification process, scrubbing the [mis]information so it wouldn’t betray sources and methods. […] The idea is to pre-empt and disrupt the Kremlin’s tactics, complicate its military campaign,...

Former President Barack Obama complained Tuesday that Republicans spread “misinformation” about Obamacare, making it politically difficult to pass. “The media was skeptical of past failures, there was a lot of misinformation, to say the least, flying around,” Obama said during an appearance at the White House to celebrate the 12th anniversary of his health care law with President Joe Biden
