Sorry to miss Fancy Farm today, but let me get in on the fun. Rand Paul apparently said I’d been “neutered” by my legislature. Rich coming from a guy who’s never had a pair of balls and if he did they’d be held by Trump. 1/4
The man being endorsed by Sarah Huckabee Sanders in this video is Arkansas state Rep. Austin McCollum.
McCollum was arrested today & booked on charges of aggravated assault against a family or household member, first-degree false imprisonment, and third-degree domestic battery.
We all knew he was lying about the Reflecting Pool. The problem is that he lies so often that it’s almost impossible to keep up.
So I asked AI to compile claims from just the past twenty-four months and then checked them against official data, contemporaneous reporting and independent fact-checks.
Here is a partial list of 86 lies:
1. He promised to bring prices down “starting on Day One.” Grocery prices remained high and continued rising.
2. After winning, he admitted that prices are very hard to bring down once they have gone up.
3. He said egg prices had fallen 93 percent. They had not fallen remotely close to 93 percent.
4. He said he inherited the highest inflation in American history. He inherited an annual inflation rate of 2.9 percent.
5. When corrected, he changed the claim to the worst inflation in 49 years. That was also false. Annual inflation reached 23.7 percent in 1920.
6. He said there was virtually no inflation during his first term. Consumer prices rose approximately 8 percent.
7. He repeatedly claimed he had already brought inflation down, including during periods when the annual inflation rate was higher than the 2.9 percent reported shortly before he took office.
8. He told Congress inflation was “plummeting.” Prices were still rising overall, including major household expenses such as housing, electricity and medical care.
9. He claimed to have secured $18 trillion in new investment.
10. He then raised the figure to $19.2 trillion.
11. Even the White House’s own tracker listed far less, and its total included multiyear pledges, purchasing agreements, previously announced projects and commitments that might never become actual US investment.
12. He said America was building more factories than ever.
13. He said factory construction was rising.
14. He said the country had achieved its highest growth ever. Manufacturing employment declined, factory-construction claims depended on cherry-picked categories, and economic growth was nowhere near a historical record.
15. He called the country he inherited a dead country. The US economy grew 2.8 percent in 2024, faster than every other major wealthy economy except Spain.
16. He says foreign countries pay his tariffs. American importers pay them and frequently pass the cost on to American consumers.
17. He said the evidence overwhelmingly showed consumers did not pay his tariffs. Economic studies found that American consumers and businesses absorbed nearly all their cost.
18. He said tariff revenue came with “no inflation.” Prices continued rising, and economic research found that the tariffs themselves increased costs for American consumers and businesses.
19. He repeatedly said drug prices were down 70, 80 or 90 percent. No broad measure of prescription-drug prices showed anything close to those reductions.
20. He said Medicaid was “left the same.” The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the legislation would reduce federal Medicaid spending by roughly $930 billion over ten years.
21. He said Americans were “not going to feel any of it.” The Congressional Budget Office projected that the legislation would leave approximately 11.8 million more people uninsured.
22. He said the Medicaid changes touched only waste, fraud and abuse. Independent analyses found that the legislation reduced coverage and federal spending far beyond fraudulent claims.
23. He said he had eliminated taxes on Social Security. The law created a temporary deduction, unavailable to many beneficiaries, that expires after 2028. It did not abolish taxation of Social Security benefits.
24. He said taxes would rise 68 percent without his bill. No credible independent estimate came close to supporting that figure.
25. He then declared, “I’ve kept all my promises and much more.”
26. He publicly promised at least 53 times to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours, or even before taking office.

A fully masked ICE agent pepper sprayed a woman in New York yesterday merely for videotaping
He approached her. She was standing still. That guy needs jail time.
If this goes viral, the city will seek charges.
@MeghanMcCain Jealousy is so unbecoming of you. Try to find your own happiness and realize you won’t be invited to everything because your last name is Mc Cain.
@MeghanMcCain Maybe you’re the chicken shit because you just stand on the sidelines bitching about everything. I don’t see you getting in the race and debating anyone. It’s great that you can just be a podcastsr and complain about the other side. If it’s so bad.. why don’t you run??
@MeghanMcCain Not a chance in hell are Republicans going to win squat!! Unless, there’s election cheating involved. You guys have had your chance and everything went to shit. Good luck with thinking the tides aren’t already turning in the Dems favour, regardless of these numbers.
@Acyn This guys is the biggest asshole and has no business saying anything about women. He knows shit all about the qualifications of women. Cant believe he’s still employed!!
Obama wore a tan suit and Fox News set their hair on fire.
Now I want you to imagine Obama starting a war that creates a quagmire costing several hundred billion dollars.
Imagine Obama trading in his personal account to the tune of $22 billion.
Imagine the right wing outrage.
We all know what would have happened.
Instead these guys fall in line.
The hypocrisy isn’t even hidden anymore.
It’s just sitting there in plain sight and nobody seems embarrassed by it.
That tells you everything about where we are.
Americans criticizing Canada for not being able to control 1 billion acres of forrest when they can't even control their own lettuce supply from giving themselves explosive diarrhea.
The problem isn’t that recent elections were stolen - we won the damn elections. White House, Senate, House, even the Supreme Court leans our way.
The fraud is that our party got elected and broke our campaign promises to voters.
