A CALL TO ACTION: Submit “Media Bias” Tips The White House recently launched a Media Bias Portal as a service to truth and transparency. Its purpose is to combat the baseless lies,

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News.

This is why Trump's National Security Strategy is a fantasy.

It does amuse me that lowbrow Donald is so stupid he doesn't realize his favorite song is about men having anonymous sex with each other.

National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

In high school, I received a failing grade on a math test because I used Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" instead of a trigonometry table to solve the equations. It was, clearly, a violation of my right to free speech.

The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.

Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

Current US Policy:

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

A tweet by Jamie Bonkiewicz reads, “This photo is the reason women cover their drinks.” Below it is a photo of three men in suits standing in a room with military personnel behind them. The man in the center gestures with both hands, while the other two stand with serious expressions.

A screenshot of a tweet by Ken Dilanian quoting concerns that an order to kill boat occupants who are no longer able to fight would constitute a war crime. Below is a collage of nine infrared or night-vision aerial images showing small boats in the water. At the bottom is a caption referencing “Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike.”

During WWII a German vessel fired upon sailors floating in the sea after the Greek vessel Peleus was sunk. The officers were tried and convicted in the Peleus War Crimes trial.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

Screenshot of a tweet from Brian Allen on X.com. It discusses JD Vance claiming settlers in the New World found “widespread child sacrifice” and that “Christian civilization ended the practice.” The tweet explains historians say this is fabricated and calls it racist revisionism. Below is an image of JD Vance speaking at a Turning Point USA event, standing at a podium with a slide behind him showing "Oxford, MS" and “University of Mississippi.”

Vance loves to deploy fabricated racist fearmongering. First Haitians are eating the pets, now Indigenous people sacrificed children?! Sheesh.
