The hosts at "Fox & Friends" would employ their method of lying without really lying.
Brian: People are saying the parents went to Bethlehem's nicest hotel and demanded a free room!
Ainsley: I'm hearing that they broke into a manger
Brian: That's also what people are saying
Brian: Hotel officials said there was no room at the inn, but I bet the left will claim it was racism.
Ainsley: Why would anyone bring a child into the world if they can't afford a motel?
Doocy: Yet he was dressed in "Swaddling Clothes," which I think is an urban fashion brand
Of course they would immediately get someone on the phone to defend the new Executive Order on undocumented minor immigrants.
"Look, it's King Herod's job to protect our country and the only way to do it is to kill all the firstborn sons. You can't be soft on terrorism."
Why isn't anyone singing "Joy to the world" for white kids from two-parent homes who were responsible enough to make a reservation at the inn? We shouldn't praise the actions of these irresponsible parents.
Oh great, another brown kid who doesn't know who his father is.
And you know Greg Gutfield will have some of those lame "I'm-not-a-bigot-but..." jokes:
"Three brown men bringing gifts to a white baby? Sounds like human traffickers. I've heard this story before when it was called 'To Catch a Predator.' Where's Chris Hansen when you need him?"
Then they would push unfounded claims from Facebook that Joseph and Mary's terrorist ties. Thats why we need a travel ban. If these refugees didn't have anything to hide, why did they flee to Egypt?
Of course, when he started talking about the living by the sword, dying by the sword, and the meek inheriting the earth, they'd say he was a radical leftist inspiring violence. Plus, you know they'd call him a thug when he started hanging out with his gang of "disciples"
Judge Jeanine: Funny how the guy whose mother was impregnated by another man wants to stop stoning adulterers.
Well, let me tell you something, Mr. Christ. It's easy to tell people to love their neighbor when you don't own a home. Leave it up to the criminal justice system!
Laura Ingraham:
I'm sorry, but no one wants to listen to some unqualified minority who got into carpentry school on affirmative action.
He wouldn't need to heal the blind & cure leprosy if he told his followers to get a job so they could afford healthcare!
Hannity: He's performing unauthorized medical treatments. Where'd that wine come from? I'm calling on Pontius Pilate to investigate how he got funding to feed a multitude with only 5 loaves and 2 fish. And what are they teaching?
Cruz: You can't spell Christ without C-R-T
Years later, they'll claim they loved him while quoting him & telling you what he "would have wanted." They'll never admit that he was criminalized for leading protests & undermining authority. The cops HAD to nail him to a cross...
He kept resisting.

For five years, I have been covering what is unquestionably the biggest criminal justice scandal in American history.
Today it ended when the most corrupt cop in history took his life.
But it's not over.
A thread.
For 5 decades, police officer Roger Golubski sexually assaulted Black women and forced to give false testimony that he used to send Black men to prison while he ran a sex trafficking and drug cartel in Kansas City Kansas
Before everyone leaves this app, I want to make a confession
I'm planning a robbery
I already have a target, a crew & a blueprint, I just need 1 more thing:
Will you help me recreate the greatest Black on Black crime in US history?
A story
An announcement
A (final) thread
On Thursday, May 23, 1861, Frank Baker, James Townsend, and Shepard Mallory orchestrated the greatest heist in American history.
Less than 6 weeks after the start of the Civil War, the enslaved men were essentially donated to the Virginia Confederate Militia to dig ditches
As they worked near the exact same spot where "20& Odd" Africans arrived 1619, the men spotted a boat.
Of course they skedaddled. Scrammed. Vamoosed. They ran like Josh Hawley in an insurrection, crossed the river and presented themselves to Union Gen, George Butler
People who say this election could be the "end of democracy" are so extra...
Or maybe they know the TRUE history of the election-denying white supremacist who led a violent insurrection, overturned a presidential election and ended democracy in America.
A thread
First, you should know that the US Constitution created a form of govt called a "federal republic" where elected officials represent the citizens (as opposed to a DIRECT DEMOCRACY, where people vote on every decision)
But a representative democracy is just A KIND OF DEMOCRACY
Saying, "America is a constitutional republic, not a democracy," is like saying: "I'm a MAGA Republican, not an American."
BTW, this is your daily reminder that @laurenboebert is a pro-insurrection MAGA Republican HS dropout who failed the GED 3x... NOT an American.
My uncle’s friend Hawk was a feared gangsta. He was ruthless but he was also a chess wizard. According to the streets, Hawk only lost 1 once, years ago, when he was in prison.
So imagine my surprise when my uncle told Hawk: “l bet $100 my nephew will kick your ass
A thread
Now I was like 12 or 13, so even though I was a chess prodigy, I was scared AF
What if I put Hawk in check and he slit my throat ? What if he sicced his goons on me to keep his streak alive? I hadn’t even reached goon-fighting age!
Then my uncle made a deal:
If I beat Hawk, I could keep the money.
A whole $100 dollars? Oh, hell yeah! I was down.
There was just one other problem with my uncle’s plan.
One of my former economics students recently reminded me about a concept I used to call "belief economics."
I haven't taught the course it in a long time, but ever since she reminded me, it perfectly explains why everyone is so focused on Black male Trump voters
A thread:
My "Race as an Economic Construct" class applied economic principles as a framework for understanding the concept of race.
I know you've heard that race is an SOCIAL CONTRUCT - it is. But MOST social constructs are ALSO economic constructs.
Even money.
A $100 bill is more valuable than monopoly money bc society constructed a monetary system. Take the pseudointellectual right-wing conspiracy about the gold standard
Why is gold so valuable?
Sure it's rare. But it's not as rare as rhodium or as useful as iron.
While other organizations (hopefully, maybe) will be fact-checking, JD Vance & Tim Walz, as usual, I’ll be translating the dog whistles, white lies and overall Caucasity
The live vice presidential debate “BlackCheck”
JD Vance begins by blaming the “Kamala Harris Administration” for Iran’s nuclear progress.
When was that?
Apparently, Kamala Harris has done a LOT. She held a seminar in Iran on how to build nukes
She opened a fentanyl shipping company
She helped organize a human trafficking ring
Somehow, as VP, she passed executive orders to renam the whole South: “Kamala Harris’s open border”
