Proof of media brainwashing and bias

[Stacy is Right @PoliticalStacy]

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.

Three ideas from our founding documents you NEED to know:

1. “A long train of abuses and usurpations.” What better way to describe 16 years of one-party rule in California? Our freedoms have been usurped by a bossy, bureaucratic government that constantly tells us how to live our lives. As the Declaration of Independence says, it is our right and our duty to throw off such government. And that’s exactly what we’ll do this November!

2. “Checks and balances.” The genius of our Constitution and the reason America has thrived for 250 years. Our system prevents government from going too far in one ideological direction. What's happened throughout history when a country has no balance? Exactly what we have now in California: DISASTER!

3. “Federalism.” The Tenth Amendment reserves powers not delegated to the federal government “to the States respectively, or to the people.” States can serve as “laboratories of democracy,” in the words of Justice Louis Brandeis, pursuing different policy agendas while letting Americans vote with their feet. That’s exactly why families and businesses are FLEEING California for more affordable states. That changes when I’m governor. We’ll pursue positive, practical solutions and lead the way for our nation once again. 🇺🇸

You know how advertising works. If you are selling a product that no one really wants, you must create a need that only you can fill.
If you are selling deodorant to people who don’t really smell, you must convince them they smell, so you can sell them your “solution” of deodorant.
If you are selling control and the ripping away of people’s rights, you must convince those people they are so unhappy that they will want your “solution” of dominance.
Both sales pitches are lies. The first costs you money for an unnecessary product. The second steals your rights and the enjoyment of the life you’ve got.
Don’t believe the lies.

Elon Musk just put a price tag on obedience. It costs $200,000.

Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”

Every lecture. Every textbook. Every framework ever written. Free on any screen in any country right now. The entire knowledge monopoly collapsed in a decade. Nobody updated the price tag.

Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.”

Strip the ivy and the branding. What’s underneath is a four-year obedience trial. Can this person follow instructions on a schedule without asking why.

Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.”

That is the entire six-figure value proposition. Not what you know. Not what you can build. Whether you can be managed. The establishment doesn’t need you educated. It needs you domesticated.

Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.”

The system doesn’t produce exceptional. It produces manageable. It takes the most creative years of your life and teaches you to wait for instructions. That is not education. That is containment.

Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.”

They didn’t leave because they couldn’t keep up. They left because the ceiling was underground.

8 billion people now carry the same library in their pocket. The one these institutions charged a lifetime of debt to access.

The only product the university still sells is the belief that you need one.

I hadn’t read the Declaration of Independence since high school history class. Ah, yes, history class! In fact we had American history throughout the tenth grade, then world history during our junior year. When I listen to the TikTok crowd spew the nonsense they champion today, I think how easily their knuckle-headed thinking could have been cured with a few good history classes. Alas, I don’t see much hope for the future, as long as the teachers in our urban areas are in the clutches of politicians and unions with a far different agenda from real education.

Now rereading the document for the first time in decades (shame on me for taking so long), I had forgotten that the bulk of the text is a list of grievances suffered by the American colonists at the hands of the king and various elements under his tyrannical regime. What has truly stunned me these 250 years later, however, is how familiar these grievances feel in our contemporary situation. Let’s take a peek at the exact text, and see if anything feels uncomfortably close to home (the “He” refers to King George, of course, and I will use the original spelling and punctuation):

“He has refused to Assent to Laws”

Hmm, every “sanctuary state” governor today for starters…

“He has made Judges dependent of his Will alone”

Hmm, activist judges anybody?

“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people”

Hmm, 87,000 new armed IRS agents. Ring a bell?

“For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent”

Hmm, ever looked at your tax bill?

“…transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny…”

Hmm, thirty million military-age males pouring across our open borders from 2020 to 2024…

“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us”

Hmm, BLM and Antifa riots…

SHORT VERSION: LEAVE US ALONE!

The very essence of the Declaration of Independence is a concerted celebration of God’s gift of our “unalienable” right to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” It was argued, researched, debated yet again, drafted by Jefferson, then edited by Adams, Franklin, and others. Together the bravest men stood together against the storm of tyranny and gambled it all. As I reread it today, I literally shed tears at those miraculous words:

“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortune and our sacred Honor.”

And then, of course, there were those who shed more than tears. They shed their blood, watched their homes burn, and too many gave the ultimate sacrifice. Whether they formed local militias or joined the Continental Army, colonists now dedicated to the cause, gambled their very lives. One of those Americans was my ninth generation ancestor. He fought in one of the most consequential battles of the American Revolution, the Battle of Cowpens. I am forever honored that his blood runs in my veins.

I know that this will be a joyful and glorious weekend for all of you, God willing. It should also be, if I may presume to say, a solemn one as well. The sacrifices made by simple men and women those many years ago have made these precious rights and this glorious day possible. Take a moment and honor them in your heart. I know I will.

Charlie Kirk never got to see America’s 250th birthday.

So, in his honor, watch him shut down the typical liberal “stolen land” argument.

A college student confronts Kirk and says Americans are living on “stolen land” taken from the Mexicans.

Kirk asks who the Mexicans stole it from, then expertly turns his own words against him.

By the end, everyone is cheering for America. Watch how this one plays out.

STUDENT: “I want to acknowledge the fact that we are right now on stolen land and that we are on indigenous land and that we are on original Mexican land right now.”

KIRK: “I love this stolen land argument.”

STUDENT: “…I really make it a point to notice that I’m on stolen land at all times, especially when we think about things like Manifest Destiny.”

KIRK: “Who did the Mexicans steal the land from?”

STUDENT: “Actually, the Mexicans were there originally in Texas…”

KIRK: “Wrong. They stole it from lots of Indian tribes… Texas was not indigenously Mexican… there was the Cherokee. There were many different Native American tribes there. So Mexico was participating in Manifest Destiny at the behest of the Spanish crown.”

[Student acknowledges Kirk is right]

KIRK: “At some point, you have to believe in self-determination. If you can win the land, it’s yours. That is what built the West.”

STUDENT: “I can agree with that.”

KIRK: “So instead of a land acknowledgement… you should have a gratitude acknowledgement. ‘Praise God, I live in America! I’m glad!’ A gratitude acknowledgement would be nice.”

[Crowd erupts]

Charlie would have loved to experience America’s 250th birthday more than anyone.

He defended America on campuses exactly like this one until the day he died. The least we can do is carry his message forward.

Rest in Peace, Legend.

🚨 Confronting the Co-Sponsors of the Stop Nick Shirley Act:
Under bill AB 2624, this video would be illegal. All an “immigration support service provider” would need to do is give you a paper saying you cannot post the video, and you would face a minimum $4,000 fine plus court costs and attorney fees.

CHIRLA the co-sponsor of this bill, has received over $80,000,000 in taxpayer dollars to help illegal immigrants. It does not allow public entry into its building and is rumored to be tied to the cartels.

When I tried to speak with a employee, they all fled and closed the building. What do they have to hide while using taxpayer funds to operate?

This is why they need this bill to pass so they can shield the public from looking into California’s corruption.
EXPOSE IT ALL.

This article was written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve..👍🏽

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

CALIFORNIA VOTE IS RIGGED 🚨 Voters were rejecting a new sales tax increase in Los Angeles County but because of a ‘surge with late mail in ballots’ the sales tax increase PASSED

The same late mail in ballots that pushed Nithya Raman ahead of Spencer Pratt also pushed through Democrat’s sales tax increase

“I'm going to talk about one of the strangest results in the LA County — sales tax increase that will take the sales tax in Los Angeles County from a very high 9.75% to the almost unthinkable 10.25%, one of the highest in the country. Why did this happen? — Initially, it looked like Measure ER, the tax increase, was going to fail, but with late ballots coming in, especially for Nithya Raman, the tax increase passed.”

I found this new sales tax increase is expected to take a BILLION dollars per year from residents.

Again, they were rejecting it. But Democrats forged it through with mail in ballots

[Carl DeMaio @carldemaio]

THEY PLANNED THIS!

As we witness shady shifts in CA election results, we now know why Gavin Newsom and CA Democrats rushed SB 73 into law as an "emergency measure” and passed AB 2230 a week before the election to undermine investigations of election fraud.  Corrupt stuff is going on here, folks! WATCH:

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The level of fraud here is mind-blowing

[Teddy - PolyBackTest.com @Bitcoin_Teddy]

Larry Ellison asked the one question no journalist on Earth can answer.

A Wall Street Journal writer told Ellison to his face that Elon Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Ellison didn’t argue. Didn’t get emotional. He just asked a question.

Ellison: “This guy is landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean, and you’re saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing. You ever land a rocket?”

One question. No recovery.

Ellison: “Who are you? Why should I believe you as opposed to my friend Elon?”

This is the question the entire media class has been dodging for a decade. Who are you to judge? What have you built? What have you shipped? What problem have you solved that didn’t involve a keyboard and a deadline?

Ellison: “You’re there in front of your Apple Macintosh typing up an article saying Elon’s an idiot.”

They sit behind a laptop they did not engineer. Using a network they did not build. Running on silicon they cannot explain. To tell the world that the man sending humans to space doesn’t know what he’s doing.

They have never built anything heavier than a Word document.

And they publish it with absolute certainty.

That’s the part that should disturb you. Not the criticism. The confidence behind it. The total absence of self-awareness it takes to judge disciplines you wouldn’t last a single semester in.

Musk does not operate in opinion. He operates in the physical layer of the universe where the math closes or the rocket does not come home.

His critics operate in a text editor.

He built the vehicle that carries NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The satellite constellation delivering internet to active war zones. The EV that forced every automaker on Earth to abandon their combustion roadmap.

His loudest critics built a byline.

So why the coordinated hatred?

Because they lost the leash.

The attacks didn’t escalate because Musk got worse at engineering. They escalated because he bought X. He cracked open the algorithm. He handed the public square back to the people. And he shattered their ability to control what you’re allowed to think.

They don’t hate the engineer.

They hate that the engineer took their monopoly.

You cannot cancel a rocket. You cannot publish a hit piece on gravity. You cannot edit the laws of physics.

They own the syntax.

He owns the physics.

One of them is going to Mars.

🚨 Meet Doris, she lives in California and is registered as a 126 year old who has voted in 51 elections and has NO IDEA.

California’s voting system is so corrupt that by simply knocking on the door of the “126 year old” proves election fraud.

EXPOSE IT ALL.

🚨 WARNING: Criminal-First Agenda in California
In the dead of night, California Democrats rammed through AB 2108 — a bill that guts Prop 36 enforcement and puts criminals back on the streets!

Prop 36 passed in every single county in the state because Californians are fed up with the chaos. Now Democrats want to create a soft diversion program for all retail theft crimes.

This is absolutely ridiculous. We have to lock toothpaste behind glass shields because criminals have a death grip on this state.

AB 2108 is a direct slap in the face to the supermajority of Californians who just want safe streets and real accountability.

We voted for Prop 36 and now your California legislators are working to undermine it before even funding it.

[Steve Shapiro @surfdocsteve]

@amyforsandiego Unfortunately, they will "find" the votes for the democrats. Just wait and see. The system is rigged here. Newsom admitted it.

WE NOW HAVE PROOF!  CA Democrats don't want lower gas prices for you. They know if we start importing gasoline from other states, it will be $1.50 CHEAPER!
But AB 2672 requires a massive tax to be added, so you don't get the savings at the pump - the politicians do!  Watch me expose the scam:
