The left-wing media is once again proving that we do not have a fair and balanced free press. What we have instead are liberal hacks masquerading as “journalists.” What we have is George Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth.”
 
In the past several days, talking points went out regarding Kamala Harris and immigration. The talking points insist that Harris was never Joe Biden’s “border czar” and never had any responsibility for the southern border.
 
Any conservative on any network who referred to Harris as the “border czar” was immediately “fact-checked” by the interviewer, who said, “That’s not true. She was never the border czar.”
 
Anyone who witnessed this likely felt as if they were living in an alternate reality. They clearly remember something the media now says isn’t true. Well, we’re not the crazy ones.
 
There is video from the past of one reporter after another calling Harris “the border czar.”
 
By the way, Democrats are also lying every time they say the border is secure. If that was true, they wouldn’t be so intent on telling us that Harris had nothing to do with the border.
 
Here’s the truth: Joe Biden tasked Harris with “stemming the migration to our southern border.” She was by Biden’s side as he issued one executive order after another gutting border security.
 
Harris supports decriminalizing illegal entry into the country. She supports sanctuary cities. She compared our Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to the KKK and suggested that ICE should be abolished. She smeared our Border Patrol agents as “racists” by falsely accusing them of whipping migrants.
 
Given her radical record, it’s not surprising that a resolution condemning Harris’s performance as border czar passed the House of Representatives Thursday in a somewhat bipartisan vote.
 
Joe Biden’s roots were in the old Democrat Party which was liberal but not Marxist. There was a time when Democrats sounded like Donald Trump on immigration. But those days are gone.
 
Kamala Harris comes out of the new Democrat Party, which is all in on dangerous open borders and massive illegal immigration to replace America’s current population.

 
 




The Left’s War On Reality
 
The neo-Marxist left is waging war on reality and changing reality on a host of issues.
 
Radical mobs attack monuments to our heroes and erase our history.
 
Most Americans know there are only two genders, but the left insists there are dozens. Now, we have the phrase “gender assigned at birth,” as if there is a chance doctors and parents got it wrong.
 
Joe Biden said he quit the race because he was protecting democracy. But we all just watched the left orchestrate a coup and disenfranchise millions of voters.
 
The left said that Donald Trump called neo-Nazis “very fine people.” It was and still is repeated with such frequency and intensity that even someone as well-educated as Bill Ackman, the famous financier, believed it. He has since endorsed Donald Trump because he has finally learned the truth.
 
For years, the abortion debate was between pro-life or “pro-choice.” Now, it’s called “women’s healthcare.” But healthcare is about saving life, not taking it.
 
While speaking to a teachers’ union last week, Harris said, “We want to ban assault weapons, and [Republicans] want to ban books.” No book has been banned in America. The closest you can come to book bans are conservative writers who get banned by Amazon.
 
And this is coming from the political movement that banned free speech during COVID and banned the truth about Hunter Biden’s laptop.
 
The only debate about books is over the appropriate age for government-run schools to teach children about sodomy and dozens of genders. (My answer: There is no age when that is appropriate for children.) That’s not book banning. It is curriculum selection.
 
 
 
Navy SEALs Vanquish “Enemy”
 
The Navy SEALs wiped up the battlefield Thursday after years of a grueling conflict. A federal court has accepted a settlement in a lawsuit against the U.S. Navy for wrongfully expelling SEALs and other sailors over religious objections to the COVID vaccine.
 
SEALs and sailors will have their records corrected. Negative information will be expunged. And their careers will be protected as their next three promotion boards are prohibited from considering any information about religious objections to the vaccine.
 
Our friends at First Liberty Institute handled this case, which took almost four years to resolve. It is sad that this took so long. Our rights were trampled in the name of “COVID.” People who raised legitimate questions were labeled “science deniers,” “threats to public health,” and “conspiracy theorists.” But one by one, they are winning legal battles.
 
The “enemy” in this case is the neo-Marxist Big State — the bureaucrats and politicians who locked us in our homes, closed our churches and our schools, and corrupted our elections by changing laws and rules in ways that made cheating easier.
 
 
 
The Plot Thickens
 
FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed last week that the wannabe-assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania, used encrypted messaging platforms, which they are still unable to access. We also learned that he flew a drone over the rally site multiple times, including over the stage where Donald Trump would speak.
 
Now, we’re learning from a whistleblower that the Butler police have a drone “fleet.” These drones are not only capable of viewing an area. They are capable of neutralizing targets. They are armed drones. Butler police offered these drones to the Secret Service before the rally, but the Secret Service declined.
 
So, what do we know? The Secret Service did not want something flying over the field that would have exposed how vulnerable the former president was or able to stop the assassin.
 
When I consider the information that is being dripped out to us, I find it virtually impossible to not conclude that there were people involved in the former president’s protection who had an agenda other than protecting the former president.
 
 
 
The Kilmeade Controversy
 
Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade just went through one of the worst times of his life.
 
While discussing Kamala Harris’s decision to boycott Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress, Kilmeade said, “She’d rather address, in the summer, a sorority, a college sorority, like she can’t get out of that!”
 
Unfortunately, leftists desperate to be offended thought they heard “a colored sorority,” instead of “a college sorority.”
 
Jamie Harrison, the chairman of the Democrat National Committee, and many others viciously attacked Kilmeade. Harrison also attacked “the black man,” who was just a few feet away when Kilmeade allegedly made that remark.
 
Lawrence Jones, one of the Fox & Friends co-hosts, came to Kilmeade’s defense. Responding to Harrison, he wrote, “I’m the black man. You’re so damn dishonest. He said ‘college.’ But that’s all you have.” 
 
Buckle up, friends. This is the Harris campaign strategy. They will immediately pounce on anything, even things that are totally false, to label conservatives and America as “racist” in order to maintain their power.
 
It is the most horrible thing anyone can do. And it is proof that the left never puts America first.
 
They are taking our nation’s deepest wound, and they are refusing to let it heal. They will rip off the scab every hour if they have to. They want that wound to be as raw and oozing as possible because that infection is their path to power.
 
Virtually all Americans want racial reconciliation. But the neo-Marxist left won’t let it happen. They can’t let it happen.
 
This is why you get a poll like this one: One-third of Democrats are upset that the assassination attempt on Donald Trump was unsuccessful. That’s bad enough. But ponder this: 55% of self-described Democrats believe that “white Republicans are racist.” And of those, 71% are upset that Trump survived.
 
So, to Nikki Haley, Paul Ryan, and anyone else who is still delusional about the battle we are in, as long as this poison infects the radical left, compromise and reconciliation are impossible.
 
It’s sad. It’s dangerous. But it’s a fact.
