J. D. Vance’s lying campaign video

In the video below, J. D. Vance says, “I nearly lost my mother to the poison coming across the border,” referring to drugs. That’s a lie; his mother, a nurse, fed her addiction by stealing drugs from her patients. He would’ve had little reason to lament “losing” h[...]

True or False: Did Biden “open our borders” to fentanyl smugglers?

You’d never guess Sen. Rubio has a law degree

If I didn’t tell you, you wouldn’t guess, because he doesn’t think like a lawyer. In fact, he’s never been a lawyer. He went straight from law school into politics. That paid off for him, he’s a senator now. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), bio here, is a politician with a law [...]

Trump has a talent for turning once-reasonable people into groveling sycophants. The latest Republican to fall under his spell is North Dakota governor Doug Burgum, a tech millionaire turned politician.

Fox is already inciting election violence

Fox’s talking heads are already inciting election violence. They must want another Jan. 6, 2021. “Twice last week,” MSNBC reported here, Greg Gutfeld (photo, left) told Fox audiences “the public will only believe the 2024 results are legitimate if President Joe Biden loses.” Also las[...]

Did Biden “wander off” during G7?

Nope, just rightwing media pushing another lie to make Biden look feeble. “Conservative media outlets … spread a claim Thursday and Friday that President Joe Biden wandered off from a meeting of world leaders, but the full video … tells a different story,” NBC News reported [...]

Arizona candidate falsely claims he’s a Vietnam veteran

Steve Slaton, an Arizona GOP legislative candidate, “has much to be proud of,” says the Vietnam veteran who helped draft the Stolen Valor Act. “He had three years of military active-duty service, and that should be enough.” So why did Slaton claim to be a Cobra gunship co-pil[...]

Taking credit where none is due
