On side benefit to researching how the right manipulates Facebook is that you get served some amazing advertising
Oh, Mike Huckabee is involved with this!
Sandy D is a happy customer
Bad news. The "free" kids guide actually costs $2 AND you get signed up for a monthly subscription where your kid gets sent a couple of propaganda pamphlets for $26/month

1. A few thoughts about Tony Bobulinski, Trump's guest at the debate tonight.

According to Trump, Bobulinski has dirt on Biden that's disqualifying.

What's really going on?

Follow along if interested.
2. In a statement released to the NY Post, Bobulinski describes himself as "the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family"

This actually isn't true.
3. In texts and emails released to the WSJ, Bobulinski acknowledges he was planning to do business with Hunter Biden but the entire deal fell through in the Summer of 2017.

Bobulinski never did any business with Hunter Biden.

1. Steve Bannon, currently out on bail, did an interview on Australian TV where he delivers a completely unhinged version of the Hunter Biden conspiracy.

It's been viewed 3.3 million times on YouTube, which is promoting it heavily through its algorithm

popular.info/p/steve-bannon…
2. In the interview, Bannon claims the alleged emails prove Joe Biden is in business with the Chinese Communist Party, says Biden couldn't qualify for a security clearance, and calls for executives at Twitter, Facebook, and Google to be arrested

popular.info/p/steve-bannon…
3. YouTube's algorithm is aggressively pushing Bannon's video. It's being recommended on 159 different YouTube channels. The Bannon video is the most recommended video about Biden on YouTube by a very wide margin.

People in Wisconsin had their homes seized and bulldozed to make way for what Trump touted as the "Eight Wonder Of The World" -- a giant Foxconn factory w/thousands of jobs.

Years later it's three empty buildings and an orb. Dozens of jobs. A ghost town

popular.info/p/trumps-eight…
Foxconn got billions in tax credits which would be cash payments because all taxes were eliminated. Foxconn attempted to hire a bunch of fake workers to meet their 520 worker threshold to qualify for tax credits. The state just rejected that gambit.

popular.info/p/trumps-eight…
Last month, "Foxconn received a permit to change its intended use from manufacturing to storage."

Foxconn recently acknowledged it "has so far invested 2.8 percent of the $10 billion it promised."

1. Yesterday, I detailed some of the many problems with the NY Post story about Hunter Biden's laptop. It's completely implausible tale.

But it is also just smoke and mirrors to obscure a larger truth about what's going on.

Let's get back to basics.
2. Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, gave a right-wing tabloid a cache of emails allegedly stolen from Joe Biden's son.

Full stop.

Forget about the wacky story of how Giuliani obtained the emails

This is Trump leveraging stolen materials for his benefit

popular.info/p/yawning-at-d…
3. Guiliani is the one engineered this implausible story about the computer repair shop.

We know he was looking for dirt on Hunter.

And we know he regularly interacted with a Ukrainian lawmaker sanctioned by the U.S. for being an active Russian agent
