It's incredible that almost the entire media adopted and regularly used a nickname for this law ("Don't Say Gay") that was used by critics to intentionally mislead regarding the content of the law while the settlement just restates that the law should be followed as written. I pointed out repeatedly at the time that media outlets were misleading their readers by suggesting the law bans discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity instead of classroom instruction related to those subjects....

If you want to understand how Hamas propaganda is created on here and spreads, let me show a perfect example.

21 year old Mia Schem was taken hostage by Hamas on 10/7. She had her arm blown off. She was released as part of the ceasefire exchange. While she was still in Hamas captivity, they had her film a hostage video in October.

Then, right before her release, they had her film another video under gunpoint where she said she was treated “very good” and people in Gaza were “very kind” to her.

A perfect example of how ignorant reporters create false narratives that get exploited in this media environment.

Yesterday there was a lot of outrage over a CNN report from @NatashaBertrand which claimed almost a majority of the bombs Israel was using in Gaza were “dumb bombs” Image The implication of most of the article, which was widely cited to support the idea that Israel was doing something irresponsible, was that Israel’s choice of unguided munitions was similar 2 indiscriminate targeting.

Although they did add 1 paragraph that undermined the premise Image

As some detestable people spent yesterday dismissing reports of extensive rapes on 10/7 based on the lack of direct testimony from the murdered rape victims, here is just some of the other evidence that has been reported on in recent weeks:

“Israel submitted to the UN unequivocal evidence of rape incidents, including gang rape and traces of semen found in bodies of young Israeli women who were murdered.”



Extensive testimony from first responders:



Witness testimony:




Confessions from captured Hamas terrorists:



Extensive physical evidence of rape:

The most insightful thing you can read about the current coverage of this conflict was actually written back in 2014 by former AP reporter and editor Matti Friedman. Almost everything he wrote is still reflected in what you see today and I would urge everyone to read it.

I’m going to highlight a few of the key points in this thread.

“The key to understanding the strange nature of the response is thus to be found in the practice of journalism, and specifically in a severe malfunction that is occurring in that profession—my profession—here in Israel." Image

Please watch this video of one of the music festival survivors recounting part of what she saw that day. I've seen dozens of these interviews with survivors.

Keep that in mind in the context of watching despicable people on here constantly try to deny or diminish what Hamas did that day.
Here is another survivor describing the hell he and his friends went through. They actually managed to take out some of the terrorists with their jeep as they tried to escape.

WTF kind of description is this, @AP?

You have a blood thirsty mob checking for passports and searching for Jews, and you describe it as “a protest”? Image A mob in the same exact place flooded a hotel yesterday to check the rooms for Jews. What were they protesting?

They are trying to lynch Jews and the absolute imbeciles at the AP are framing it like a sit-in protest. Just despicable.

Outside the obvious, let me give an example of why it is irresponsible for news networks to use death totals from Hamas & how this choice isn't new:

Back in 2022, during the Second Intifada with a wave of terrorism, Israel tracked many of the attacks to the Jenin refugee camp. Israel decided they had no choice but to go into the camp, which militants had boob-trapped and prepared for a battle. Israel went in on April 2nd. By April 7th, Palestinians were claiming over 500 dead. In the next week, they would raise that number to thousands.

So let’s walk through it.

We now have video of the scene showing the explosion is from the parking lot and the buildings are in tact. There is no crater, no building demolished. This is inconsistent with the type of bomb many were suggesting yesterday.
Image
There is drone footage from before and after that shows the same as above. Also inconsistent with an airstrike.

Hilarious. Trump campaign spent the day bragging about a union with 47K members endorsing him based on a DailyMail article, but DailyMail missed that the group is essentially a scam.

Here are some quotes from former board members for this group who only it’s essentially just a scam “to support Matt Coday’s bad habits”

Press accused Romney of murdering a woman with cancer, hating the poor for tax analysis, hating women because he had a binder with resumes, wanting to steal from old people, being racist etc etc

These guys are just as disconnected form reality as the OnlyTrump defenders. Image Are we really going to have to pull up receipts….

Remember when the press accused Romney of being racist because he referred to Obama as “angry”? Image

This video is hilarious. What a clown.

She’s endorsing Trump while lecturing about how the government (= the Trump admin) forced lockdowns on people and then inferring DeSantis went along with it when he did the exact opposite.

Alternate reality.

“Where were they when the pandemic was raging? When leaders were taking away people’s Constitutional rights”

Well let’s check where was the guy she’s endorsing:

The latest newsletter is out:

One of my favorite quotes from Vivek Ramaswamy's book is below, but he would never repeat it now. That book was about truth-telling, but VivekGPT 2.0 is just an empty sales pitch without a working product.

Some receipts... patreon.com/posts/88458064…
Image A small portion of the things Vivek Has flip-flopped or lied about in the last month:

1) Whether Trump should skip the debate...

“fundamentally uncourageous” and “embarrassing” to “understandable” and “I have no problem with it"

I thought we were done with this, but it's clear that some people are determined to revive these false claims. The numbers were random extrapolations that the Trump team tried to use and GA investigators looked into every one of them.

Let's go through each of them one last time. Image Claim 1: 2056 Felons Voted in Georgia in 2020.

Reality: GA investigators initially found 74 potential cases. After reviewing, they found 4 were actual cases where felons voted and charges were filed accordingly. Image

How many Trump supporters are these people going to encourage to destroy their lives and end up at jail just because Trump couldn’t accept the results of the last election?

The influencers who talk like this aren’t the ones that end up in jail. It’s the people who believe them. Image I saw people upset over the fake MI electors being charged yesterday because they were elderly. You’re right. The people that should be facing consequences are those that convinced those elderly people to engage in obviously illegal fraud bc Trump couldn’t accept his loss.

One issue I have with some pro-DeSantis people, including people I generally like, is they spend way too much time engaging with people who clearly have an agenda and are acting in bad faith as if they will convince those people if they just point out the truth to them. If someone has created an entire business model around lying to their audience, trying to engage with them honestly is pointless. Their entire value proposition assumes being dishonest. So you can either ignore or mock them, but trying to constantly correct them won't help.

Dems are going to continue to have a problem with the fact that more conservative minority communities are opposed to their attempts to impose far-left ideologies and simply trying to portray those minorities as pawns of the right won’t make it go away. This sets up an intersectional conflict on the left, where someone’s identity is often used as a trump card for winning arguments. What happens when those on the intersectional pyramid reject far-left doctrine?

You can try to frame them as traitors or pawns, but not convincing.

Trump faces 38 counts, not one of them is related to mishandling of classified documents.

Here is the indictment: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Let’s go through what Trump is actually charged with. Counts 1-31 relate to willful retention of national defense information. Here is the relevant statute.

Basically says he had docs he wasn’t supposed to and fails to deliver when asked for them back. Image

This is just dishonest. They promised 100% would go toward the wall.

Here is the indictment. Bannon receive $1 M. He spent hundreds of thousands on personal expenses and used fake invoices to transfer much of the rest to Kolfage.

justice.gov/d9/press-relea… They went out of their way to tell Trump supporters they wouldn't get a penny, then used fake invoices to steal the money.

Saying they spent some money on a barrier doesn't change the facts and donors couldn't have complained because they didn't know they were being scammed. Image

This is indisputably false and it was debunked over a day ago. A news organization that intentionally spread misinformation on something like this can’t be trusted to report on just about any topic.

And it’s about time we start calling out reporters directly. While @FRF_12 likely didn’t write the false “banned” headline, she did claim the book was put on a restricted list in the article.

Where did she get that from? There is no such list.

New rule for the primary: Every time Trump, who claimed to only hire the best people, makes a post attacking one of his own former hires, I will donate $10 to the DeSantis campaign.

*Limit of $50 per day because this could get expensive. This is definitely going to get expensive… ImageImage
