The truth has a liberal bias

Infant mortality in the US is 53rd in the world and rising - worse than Bosnia and China.

Autism is a red herring keeping us from talking about the real systemic issues affecting our health and the lack our administration’s capabilities to address them.

“I don’t know who needs to hear this but…”

The misleading memes on the “bungled” NASA mission and “stranded” astronauts “abandoned” by Biden and “rescued” by Elon are over the top.

Yes the mission did not go as planned, but they were quickly integrated into the station workflow and could have been brought home sooner if the need arose

“We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr

This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

If all involved were white heterosexual Christian men, the tragedy last night would not have happened.

This is what they really mean when they blame (without evidence) DEI. Sad.
