🔴I had TDS for 7 years before waking up to the media lies.

Found 2 major sources that really helped.

@AmericanDebunk website that showed all the media hoaxes and edits + Joomi Kim's documentary.

If you're still suffering from this affliction, consider giving these a watch. America really dodged a bullet.

Flashback: Scott Adams goes off on Joe Biden for basing his campaign on the Fine People Hoax

Donald Trump is finally banning Fake News networks, which helped prop up this tentpole hoax, from the White House.

[JPBarlow @1SharpBarber]

Aka "The Tentpole Hoax" aka "A Rupar Edit"

[MAZE @mazemoore]

This videos shows CNN continually using deceptively cut video to mislead their viewers to spread Fine People Hoax.

They stopped the clip seconds before Trump condemned white supremacy, then said he never did it. It’s unequivocal. CNN lies. It’s fake news.

🚨 JUST IN: Elon Musk just said if Anthropic and OpenAI people are warning that the models are “very dangerous,” we should believe them. Then he mocked the pitch. A 10 PERCENT chance of annihilating humanity… and how much of the IPO would you like?

Fox’s guest nailed the real game. Tech oligarchs scream doomsday, then beg Washington for a regulatory scheme that locks competitors out.

THIS IS NOT SAFETY. THIS IS A MONOPOLY PLAY.

Obama, Kamala Harris, Hakeem Jeffries, and Chuck Schumer are all pushing the same “regulate AI” line. Schumer’s own daughter works at one of these companies. Whoever controls the algorithms controls politics. The same crowd that censored COVID debate now wants the keys to the next information gate.

Protect innovation. Block the Democrat-aligned AI cartel. Do not hand them a government-sanctioned monopoly.

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

It’s always a message of fear. My entire life. Nuclear winter, killer bees, acid rain, global warming, rebranded climate change, Covid, now AI. Reject the demonic spirit of fear.

Dear Ilhan Omar,

Charlie has a legacy that still lives. He was a great man who will be remembered for a long, long time. He will be remembered for his intelligence, his faith, his friendships, and for starting TPUSA, which has impacted us all.

What’s your legacy? Eating with your hands? Your alien-shaped head? Marrying your brother in a very public immigration scam? Being so stupid that you faked an attack and everyone immediately went “yeeeeaaahhhh, no.” Scamming millions of dollars?

Not being the ugliest chick in the”The Squad?” I mean, that’s actually not much of an accomplishment, really… it’s kinda like being the best bullfighter in Alaska.

Only reason Don Lemon interviewed you is because he’s a dumbass and needed to speak with someone who was more of a dumbass. Congratulations: you made Don Lemon feel smart.

No hugs. You might not be smart enough for that and wind up headbutting me. With that pointy assed head of yours, I’ll be in the hospital for a week.

Just the truth sitting right in our faces. Someone had to say it. Thank you Adam

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

ADAM CAROLLA: "You [Democrats] act like we’re arguing with your ideas. YOU CAN'T PULL YOUR IDEAS OFF.”

"You don't lift people out of poverty. You don't solve the homeless problem. You don't fix the environmental problem. You don't have clean, sustainable forms of energy. YOU DON'T DO ANY OF THAT STUFF. YOU TALK ABOUT IT."

ADDED CONTEXT: California spent $24,000,000,000 (that’s billion) on homelessness in five years. Despite the excessive spending, the state's own audit found Homelessness climbed 53% over the past decade to roughly 187,000 people.

High-speed rail was sold to voters in 2008 as a $33,000,000,000 bullet train from San Francisco to LA. Eighteen years later, completion sits at a whopping ZERO percent. Not a single mile of track is in service, and the state admits even the 171-mile Merced-to-Bakersfield starter segment can't be finished by the end of 2032 without more funding.

That's the Democratic Party in a nutshell. Say you want good schools, lift people out of poverty, make life better for the little guy. Then spend a whole bunch of money and get nothing done.

They say they want to end suffering for low-income communities but somehow end up solving nothing and instead extend the suffering to everyone else.

[Thomas Sowell Daily @DailySowell]

Thomas Sowell on how modern “liberalism” is different from classical liberalism:

“The term ‘liberal’ originally referred politically to those who wanted to liberate people—mainly from the oppressive power of government. That is what it still means in various European countries or in Australia and New Zealand.

It is the American meaning that is unusual: People who want to increase the power of government, in order to accomplish various social goals.”

New York’s New Solar Religion Is Absolutely Devastating To Wildlife, Farmland | Vijay Jayaraj, Watts Up With That?

Drive from Buffalo into Genesee County and you will pass fields that have grown corn and soybeans for generations. Soon, thousands of those acres will be covered by steel and glass. New York state is forcing industrial-scale solar plants onto rural communities that never asked for them, and the people who live there are discovering just how little their voice counts when a governor decides differently.

The Mandate Behind the Mess

New York is tearing up rural communities, wiping out wildlife sanctuaries, and burying prime agricultural soil under solar installation in the name of green energy. The root of this campaign is New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) of 2019, which demands that renewable sources supply 70% of the state’s electricity, that greenhouse gas emissions fall 40% below 1990 levels, and that the state build at least 3,000 megawatts of storage.

The footprint of the 18 solar power plants is staggering. The Cider Solar Farm in Genesee County will cover 4,000 acres, and the Ridge View Solar Farm in Niagara County will take another 2,000. Both were pushed through over the strong objections of the people who farm.

Destroy Wildlife and Redact Key Information

What becomes of the animals living where these panels will sit? The Fort Edward project targets land inside a Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) grassland and bird sanctuary. DEC documents describe the area as critical for breeding grassland birds and wintering raptors.

The site hosts the short-eared owl, a bird so rare that the Grassland Bird Trust counts fewer than 50 breeding pairs in New York. The northern harrier, listed as threatened, hunts there. Fifteen species of reptiles and amphibians already of concern to biologists will lose their homes. These are key indicator species wildlife specialists monitor to judge ecosystem health.

You would expect a state that prides itself on environmental leadership to publish this information without hesitation. Instead, residents who filed Freedom of Information requests for an agency report on the Fort Edward site received a document so heavily blacked out that one local compared it to the redactions in the Epstein files. Why does a government agency need to hide a solar project’s effect on endangered owls?

Governor Kathy Hochul created the Office of Renewable Energy Siting and Electric Transmission specifically to override the objections of the towns and counties in its path. Critics say the agency exists to cut through red tape, sideline environmental review, and neutralize local pushback so projects move forward regardless of what residents want. That is silencing the communities the state claims to be protecting.

A Federal Reckoning Arrives

By 2026, even New York’s own climate agenda had begun to buckle under the weight of its contradictions, forcing Governor Hochul into a March recalibration of the CLCPA that acknowledged the complaints of rural communities.

Then came a rebuke from Washington. U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, and Small Business Administration head Kelly Loeffler jointly challenged New York’s approval of solar projects on productive farmland, criticizing the state for not applying federal standards in evaluating its farmland.

And here is the contradiction that should embarrass every official who signed off on the policy. Hochul announced a moratorium of up to a year on new data centers that draw more than 50 megawatts, which typically occupy 15 to 40 acres. Meanwhile, New York has already parked solar complexes on approximately 11,000 acres of federally certified prime farmland and wildlife habitats.

Centuries ago, South American civilizations offered land, crops, and sometimes human lives to appease gods they believed controlled the climate. New York has updated the ritual for a modern audience. It has built altars of solar farms and appointed a priesthood of bureaucrats who redact the evidence of their policies’ destruction.

A government convinced it can control the climate by conquering the countryside is not practicing science. It is imposing an ideology on a citizenry that pays the tribute in property and quality of life.

Lemme get this straight: NYS via the governor's office can put a "moratorium" on datacenter construction (which brings jobs, accelerates economic growth, and has practically no environmental impact) while *simultaneously* forcing a "green energy" deployment that wastes thousands of acres of land for no economic benefit?

"The architecture is the product"

[jay plemons @jayplemons]

Victor Davis Hanson: they left a failed socialist state, set one foot in America, and immediately sued the host.

“You come from a failed socialist state in Somalia or Uganda or Egypt. You set one foot in here or your parents set one foot in here and immediately you lodge complaints against the gracious host that welcomed you in with security, prosperity, and freedom that you did not have.”

Then they champion the system they fled and want the country remade.

Abolish the Senate.
Reparations.
Reopen the border.
Kill the filibuster.
Kill the electoral college.
Pack the court.
Tax billionaires on their net worth.

“Why would you leave the country that has failed you and go to a country that welcomed you and then be so ungracious?”

Thomas Sowell on the troubling state of our education system:

“We’re raising whole generations who regard facts as more or less optional. You have kids in elementary school who are being urged to take stands on political issues.”

“They’re not being taught that it’s important to know what you’re talking about—it’s important to hear the opposite viewpoint, and more important, to learn how to distinguish why viewpoint A and viewpoint B are different and which one has the most evidence or logic behind it.”

“They disregard that. They hear something and they hear some rhetoric, and they run with it.”

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Jeffrey Tucker founded an institute devoted to studying the COVID lockdowns and mandates.

He just spent four days reading Fauci's private diary.

He says nothing could have prepared him for the "cold terror" he felt trying to figure out what demonic force was possessing this man.

TUCKER: "I've spent four days reading that diary… It's a massive treatise, but it's utterly fascinating and introducing me to a side of Fauci... I just… no matter how many bad thoughts I've had about Fauci in the past, nothing could have prepared me for what I read in that diary."

"It's a little bit like if you read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and just take out the Dr. Jekyll part and just read the Mr. Hyde part. That's what it's like."

"2020 is disgusting enough, but 2021 is where it gets really evil."

"This is where you just can't… your disgust turns to something else. Actually, a kind of A terror. Cold heart. Cold terror. What is possessing this man? I mean, what demonic force has inhabited his spirit that would cause him to do this?"

"I've never seen anything quite like it. And there's nothing that could have prepared me for that diary. Nothing."

[Brian Roemmele @BrianRoemmele]

You wake tomorrow morning and are immediately crushed by a suffocating wave of anxiety.

But your stress has nothing to do with your alarm clock, your commute, a micromanager, or your mortgage.

Your single, paralyzing terror is the breakfast table in front of you: a 12-course meal you are legally mandated to finish. And in two hours, you must eat another one.

The nightmare bleeds into every corner of existence. You spend your afternoon frantically driving your ninth luxury car in circles just to put miles on the odometer. Your closets burst with designer clothes you are required by law to wear out and discard by week’s end.

You live in a sprawling 26-room mansion maintained by a small army of robots you never asked for. You are drowning in absolute luxury, and it is entirely mandatory.
This is not dystopia in the usual sense. This is The Midas Plague.

Read how we may be heading into it and what we can do.

[Liz Benichou @basedinmalibu]

So let me get this straight…

Spencer Pratt runs on cleaning up the streets of Los Angeles, fixing the homeless crisis, making sure reservoirs and fire hydrants actually have water, saving dogs and making LA safer and cleaner for everyone…

…and the media calls that “MAGA”? 🤔

Since when did wanting functioning infrastructure, safe streets, and competent leadership become controversial?

Shouldn’t that be the goal of EVERY politician regardless of party?

I guess some people would rather hand out free stuff while cities continue falling apart.

[A Gene Robinson @AlBuffalo2nite]

This is the contradiction many Americans are finally noticing.

The political Left constantly speaks about “representation” and “diversity”…
until Black conservatives, Black Christians, Black nationalists, or Black Republicans enter the conversation.

Then suddenly representation no longer matters.

Why?

Because for many activists and institutions, diversity was never truly about diversity of thought…
it was about ideological conformity.

A Black conservative woman running on family, law and order, economic growth, school standards, and constitutional values disrupts the narrative that all Black Americans think alike politically.

And that creates discomfort.

So instead of engaging the ideas…
they reduce everything to race arithmetic, identity politics, or emotional tribalism.

That is why so many people are walking away from modern DEI ideology.

Because Americans increasingly want competence, leadership, stability, and outcomes…
not permanent racial sorting systems where identity matters more than merit or policy.

And ironically…

The democrats screaming loudest about “diversity” often become the most hostile when someone diverse in political thought appears.

That contradiction is becoming impossible to ignore.
