How do I know media brainwashing is real?
Obama’s ICE Chief received an award for removing over 900,000 illegal aliens.
Trump’s ICE chief was called a Nazi.
It is the same person - Tom Homan.
The difference? What the media told people to believe.
Zohran Mamdani looked at America’s 250th birthday and apparently saw a crime scene.
Not a nation that broke from monarchy, abolished slavery, defeated fascism, stared down Soviet communism, built the most prosperous society in human history, welcomed generations of immigrants, expanded civil rights, and gave ordinary people a chance to rise.
Nope.
He saw bondage. Squalor. Nativism. Oligarchs. Hungry children. Trillionaires. “Masked agents.” “Unmarked vans.” Persecuted migrants. Evil landlords. Shadowy “powerful” people with the wrong skin preferences and sinister accents.
That is the Victim/Oppressor Factory in action.
Every person gets sorted. Every institution gets charged. Every success gets reclassified as exploitation. Every border is cruelty. Every law is persecution. Every wealthy person is a suspect. Every grievance is evidence. Every American achievement is inadmissible.
And the best part? The people running this ideological assembly line call everyone else “divisive.”
Mamdani didn’t give a birthday speech. He walked through 250 years of American history like a detective planting yellow evidence markers around the country, then announced that the defendant was guilty before the trial even started.
That is the scam of permanent grievance politics: America can never improve enough because improvement would ruin the business model. There must always be fresh victims, fresh oppressors, fresh charges, fresh guilt.
America turns 250, and these people still need it kneeling in the interrogation room.
At some point, stop calling that patriotism.
It is an ideology that needs America guilty forever.

While my grandparents were serving in WWII in Yugoslavia in their teens, hiding all the Jewish people in our town in our cellar, George Soros was 45 minutes away in Hungary snitching on Jewish families to the Nazis and looting their homes after they were captured.
Soros is the devil.
Hello Mr. Clinton,
I'm not going to extend to you the courtesy that your paragraph about lawfare extends to Trump supporters. Because I've studied enough of you, to know what you are truly about.
You were President during the post-Cold War sugar high. I have it thoroughly documented that you and your administration met with George Soros frequently, and in short term changed your policy positions to fit whatever George Soros proposed.
Which was: continuous military intervention all over the world. Starting with the bombing of Yugoslavia. You were the original neoconservative. Madeline Albright used "open society" phrasing in communicating your foreign policy documents. You are a part of the long string of failures of nation-building in the name of democracy, the Western interventions that resulted in millions of mass migrants overwhelming our borders, artificial famines, and us building the infrastructure that enabled China to take over the Africa continent and extract African resources for themselves.
But. Most of all. Those of us -- and there are a good deal many of us -- who have been ruined by lawfare. @GenFlynn sacrificed everything. @JeffClarkUS has had his life ruined and is still rebuilding. At the end of the day, only one President has been the subject of repeated assassination attempts and eighty-plus indictments - and it's President Trump. Not anyone in your orbit.
Seriously, Bill. What do you think when you see that a Democrat gets indicted by a grand jury, and a judge inevitably overturns that indictment on grounds that nobody has heard of? "Oh wow the judges are so wise and saw right through a jury of peers! And that wisdom coincidentally happens to always fall on party lines!" Give me a break.
Every single one of us on the right-wing side knows that when your side regains power, your side will turn the full might of lawfare on us. You will cheer on mass incarcerations. You openly brag about that. You even toe the line of threatening to jail current military members if they don't refuse orders from Pete Hegseth.
You are the evil one here. You cheer on the burning of our cities. You cheer on lawfare of Republicans. You never apologized for the millions of lives disrupted all over the world. You never say a word about the billions or even trillions of dollars that have been robbed by your friends through corrupt NGOs.
The fact that none of you are in jail, proves that we are the powerless ones here. You're just afraid that someone sees you for you who are, and you secretly know that image is ugly.
Why is Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal — chair of the Democratic Party's Progressive Caucus — peddling a false narrative about Cuban healthcare being better than the U.S.?
From my research on my book PHARMA, I know what she says is WRONG. But she keeps repeating it and I am sure many progressives believe it. No legacy journalist is calling her out so let me do the job.
Most recently, she stood at a Capitol Hill press conference on July 1 — flanked by Reps. Delia Ramírez, Jonathan Jackson, and Ro Khanna, under a banner reading "Demanding an End to the Blockade Against Cuba and International Medical Solidarity" — and told the crowd that Cuba, despite all its difficulties, had done admirable work preventing “maternal mortality, neonatal mortality, and cancer,”in her words, "areas in which we in the United States are still struggling to make progress."
It wasn't an ad-lib. It was a return engagement. In an April interview after her own delegation trip to Havana, Jayapal said Cuba has "the lowest infant mortality, maternal mortality — sort of the opposite of what the United States has." When the reporter mentioned Cuba's higher life expectancy, she agreed with that too. The Washington Post's editorial board flagged it then as a flawed diagnosis. She said it again in front of National Nurses United two months later. So it's worth actually running the numbers, one at a time.
Maternal mortality. The U.S. rate was 18.6 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2023, and it fell further to 17.9 in 2024. Cuba's own Ministry of Public Health reported its maternal mortality rate at 40.6 per 100,000 in 2024 and rising to 44.1 in 2025 — better than two-and-a-half times the American rate, and climbing. There is no version of the current data where Cuba is "the opposite" of the U.S. on this metric. It's far worse.
Neonatal/infant mortality. Cuba's official infant mortality rate did fall to a low of 4.0 per 1,000 live births in 2018 — a genuinely low number, and one Cuba has kept touting. But two things complicate that figure. First, a peer-reviewed study in Health Policy and Planning found evidence that Cuban physicians have been pressured to reclassify early neonatal deaths as late fetal deaths (effectively, miscarriages) to hit government mortality targets — a known method of statistical manipulation, flagged by demographers going back to the 1990s. Corrected for that, researchers put Cuba's real infant mortality rate somewhere between 7.45 and 11.16 per 1,000, not the sub-5 figure the government published.
Second, and more damning for Jayapal's live claim: Cuba's own current numbers show infant mortality at 9.9 per 1,000 as of the end of 2025 — up 148% from that 2018 low, and now well above the U.S. rate. Havana's maternity wards are reporting sewage leaks in neonatal units and adolescent pregnancy rates spiking past 20% in some provinces. Whatever Cuba was doing right in 2018, it isn't doing now, and the 2018 number itself was likely inflated by data manipulation to begin with.
Cancer. This is the claim with the least data behind it and the most against it. The most recent regional analysis of Latin America and the Caribbean, using 2022 GLOBOCAN figures, found Cuba has the highest age-standardized cancer mortality rate in the entire region — 136.6 per 100,000 for men, 91.6 per 100,000 for women — ahead of Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia.
There is no dataset I could find, from PAHO, WHO, or IARC, showing Cuban cancer outcomes outperforming the United States. Cuba's president, Díaz-Canel, touring a Havana maternity hospital the same week Jayapal spoke, said the healthcare system currently can't get lifesaving treatment to more than 100,000 cancer patients, including 1,200 children, due to shortages.
That's not a system beating American oncology. That's a system in collapse, by the Cuban government's own telling.
The bigger problem with the claim. During my reporting for PHARMA I learned that Cuba's low mortality figures have functioned as propaganda for an authoritarian government for over 30 years — repeated uncritically by public health researchers, NGOs, and now members of Congress, because the story fits a preferred narrative about what a "resource-poor" country can accomplish with universal healthcare. But the country producing those numbers has no free press, no independent statistical audit, and a documented history of reclassifying deaths to hit targets. That's not a minor asterisk. It's the whole ballgame if you're going to hold a press conference built on the premise that Cuba is quietly outperforming America.
Does @PramilaJayapal know she is selling a disproven story or does she not care so long as it fits her narrative that a communist universal healthcare system is better than the one in America?
So were mine. I know their names and where they’re buried.
However…
Their descendant is free. He has an education. He worked a job making people safe. He bought a house. He has a family. He can read and write. He can walk around wherever he wants. He takes care of himself, his family, and his neighborhood.
My ancestors would be proud of me and the country I live in. They would be proud of the progress that was made. They would be proud of the freedoms we all have today.
You’re mad just for the sake of being mad. I’m happy and free because that’s what I am.
I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.
.@POTUS: "In 250 Years, the Free People of this land have accomplished more with our Liberty than any other society has accomplished even in thousands and thousands of years... What our critics will never understand is that America is not the sum of its mistakes. Our mistakes make us human—our achievements make us American...
We are the nation that dreamed and created the modern world—we laid the railroads, we raised up those big, beautiful skyscrapers, harnessed electricity, and invented the light bulb, the telephone, the airplane, the assembly line, the television, the microchip, the personal computer, the internet, GPS, the smartphone, and almost everything else that has ever been invented—including... a thing called air conditioning.
We charted the human genome to cure diseases, we powered entire cities by splitting single atoms, and planted our flag on the Moon.
Americans filled the airwaves of the planet with our music and our culture. We invented baseball, basketball, football, volleyball, NASCAR, and the Rodeos of the West. Americans have won the most Olympic medals of any country in the world by far, the most Nobel Prizes... and the most world records. We publish by far the most patents, we produce the best movies, we make the best music, and we raise up the greatest entertainers and strongest athletes the world has ever seen.
We built the biggest and most dynamic economy... with, as of last week, 19.2 trillion dollars pouring into the United States from all over the world... And thanks to our great election win and tariffs, plants and factories are being built all over the United States right now...
We created the strongest and most powerful military. We won Two World Wars, the Cold War, and left America’s enemies in the depths of history."
Mamdani got the whole American dream in eight years. Came here as a kid, got citizenship in 2018, now he runs the biggest city in the country.
And on America's 250th birthday he sat down at George Washington's desk and told us everything wrong with the place.
I'm not even angry. I'm disappointed.
Here's the picture he painted:
He mocked the people who supposedly think America "becomes less the more people it welcomes."
Said it belongs "only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin."
Called our streets a place where "masked agents" are "terrorizing" people.
Said the country's wealth was built by "calloused, dirt-streaked hands" and then left to rot.
Looked out from Washington's desk and called the Americans who built this economy "small" and "weak."
Okay Mamdani. You hate it so much, why'd you come here?
Let's put that picture up against the actual country.
He's a Muslim kid born in Uganda and he's the mayor of New York. A guy back in his own birthplace said it plainly: over there he'd have had to claw his way in. Here we held the door open.
We've got the most diverse Congress in our history. It was never about skin color, no matter how many years the left spent forcing that story onto a country that kept proving them wrong.
A machine that grinds immigrants down? Nearly half the Fortune 500 was started by immigrants or their kids. 231 companies.
Apple, son of a Syrian.
Google, a kid who came over from the Soviet Union.
Amazon, son of a Cuban.
Put them together and they out-earn Japan, out-earn Germany. That's not a country grinding people into the dirt. That's a country handing them the keys.
It's been and always will be the land of opportunity.
And more people want in here than anywhere else alive. 53 million immigrants live here, the most of any nation on earth. We're 4% of the world's people and we hold 17% of the world's migrants.
Every year since 2007 you ask the whole planet where it'd go if it could go anywhere, the answer comes back the same. America. Number one. The line to get in wraps around the globe.
Here's the line he won't draw. I will.
Legal immigration built this country. The strivers. That's the front door working the way it's supposed to, and I'll defend it all day. You need to earn your spot, respect our laws and customs.
But that's not what we're running anymore.
Four years of Biden's open border blew the doors off. The foreign-born share of this country just hit 15.8%. An all-time high. Higher than Ellis Island, more than triple what it was in 1970.
The Census Bureau didn't expect that number until 2042 and we smashed past it. And on top of it, a record 14 million people here illegally, who cut in front of every single person who did it the right way.
The front door built America from Ellis Island to today. The fence is a different thing. Pretending they're the same is how you end up calling every American who wants a secure border a bigot.
And we've earned the right to standards. This is the most wanted country on the planet. We get to choose who walks in. You want in? Build something. Contribute. Earn it. Nobody's owed anything.
You come illegally, you commit crimes, you steal from taxpayers, you should get deported. That's not terrorizing the streets.
Mamdani walked through that front door in 2018. He of all people should be defending it. Instead he stood at Washington's desk and spent his speech blurring the line between the people who came the right way and the ones who broke in.
The man even admitted out loud that America is exceptional. Then spent the rest explaining why it isn't. On the one day the whole country stops to celebrate itself, he reached for the darkest story he could find.
That's not a man who's lost about America. That's a man who's angry at the country that gave him everything he has.
You don't like it here? Nobody made you come.
Nobody's stopping you from leaving. But you won't. They never do. Because there's nowhere else on earth that hands a person this much of a shot.
This country took him in and made him a mayor. He owes it. It doesn't owe him a thing.
We're not perfect. We're the best odds a human being has ever been handed. 250 years old, the richest and freest country alive, and the whole world is still clawing to get in while nobody's trying to leave.
They hold America to a standard they'd never hold anyone else to, then act shocked it falls short.
It's nonsense.
Respect the country. Especially when it's the reason you're standing at that desk at all.
Let me tell you something, comrade.
No American thinks we are exceptional because we are richer, stronger and more powerful than everyone else.
We are exceptional because we are American. It is our value system that built wealth, strength, and power.
It was the American values etched into the souls of generations of people in this country that built what we have today.
Those values are something you clearly cannot understand, or you choose not to, because they would require you building something of your own.
Our nation was founded by people who simply wanted a chance to build something for themselves.
It wasn’t about being richer than others. It wasn’t about being more powerful than others. It wasn’t about being stronger than others.
It’s certainly wasn’t built on what you propose, this hideous belief that you or anyone is somehow entitled to what other people built.
That is the antithesis of America. Your ideas would have been laughed out of America 250 years ago. You ran an entire mayoral campaign on seizing assets from others.
The sheer concept of expecting the government to force hard-working people to feed, house, and fund other able-bodied men and women would have been roundly ridiculed.
In fact, that is why people migrated to America. It was about freedom.
They fled oppressive government, they fled the type of tyranny you are promoting. Where their work was not theirs, where the fruits of their labor were taken from them.
They fled here not expecting a handout, but simply hoping for a chance to build something on their own. A chance to bet on themselves.
That dream is still vibrantly alive today for the those that choose to work hard and pursue it.
You, of course, sell that it is not possible. That it is a zero sum game. That the success of one group must therefore be at the expense of another group, which is a disgusting lie disguised as “promoting fairness”.
That is the opposite of our American value system.
In America, we believe in abundance. We believe in hard work. We believe in merit. We believe in earning things. We believe if you learn, work hard, and do your best, doors will open. And they do. Every time.
Those beliefs are what made America exceptional, and that is why America continues to be the greatest country in the history of mankind.
All despite men like you.
I carefully reviewed @NYCMayor's hate speech desecrating America on our 250th Birthday. Fascist/communist leaders of the last century could have given much of Mamdani's speech to advance their murderous totalitarian agendas. There is a great evil afoot in our politics.
If a foreigner hates America, fine. But why then become a citizen here? Better yet, why would the US allow someone to become a citizen who hates the country?
@johnrobertsFox Started working (besides babysitting) at 13 detasseling corn. Had to get up at the crack of dawn, bring your own lunch (bologna sandwich) and water and ride on some kind of machine where you had to detassel and so many hit you in the eye. Have never stopped working hard.
Victor Davis Hanson says he knows he’ll get in trouble for saying it, but many of the Democrats’ most radical voices are first or second-generation immigrants from FAILED nations.
Ilhan Omar, AOC, Mamdani, Chevalier.
Hanson argues they learned early that trashing America gets them protected and advanced by the left.
HANSON: “One of the things that's not being talked about and I know I'll get criticized for this but here it is...”
“If you look at the candidates, Chevalier, and AOC, and Rashida Tlaib, and Mamdani, and I could go on...”
“But the kingpins, they’re first or second generation...immigrants. And they come from areas that, to be candid and a little blunt, are failed miserable places, such as Ghana or the Caribbean, or many Latin American countries, or Mexico.”
“Almost 50-60% of them are.”
“So they come to this country either with their parents or their parents came and they were born. And they sense, they put their feelers up...and they learn very early on that if you trash this country, the left will protect you and advance you.”
“And no matter how much money you have — AOC’s parents were pretty affluent. Ilhan Omar claims she was worth $30 million. Mamdani’s a multimillionaire settler colonialist from Uganda.”
“And when you look at all of them, they have nothing but contempt.”
“Then don’t come! There’s no reason you have to come. You came here because it was prosperous and safe, and there was not inbred tribal racism as in all these countries.”
“Apparently, the people came with Ilhan Omar because they were on the side of the genocidal [Mohamed] Siad Barre.”
“They keep saying genocide, genocide! The only person that really is a genocidal maniac was Siad Barre, the head of the Somali government, of which a lot of these immigrants’ parents were part of, including Ilhan Omar.”
