THINK OF THEM AS DEDICATED BUT NOT-ESPECIALLY-COMPETENT DEMOCRATIC PARTY OPERATIVES AND YOU WON’T GO FAR WRONG
"Lies, omissions and false fact checks – a banner week for media disinformation.
Last week, USA Today decided to fact check reality. Presented with a photo of President Biden checking his watch during the return of dead US service members to American soil, reporter Daniel Funke said that was “wrong.” Don’t believe your lying eyes.
No, Funke insisted, Biden only checked his watch after the ceremony was over. No matter that military family members were already quoted saying the president did it multiple times.
Then, calamity. Pictures revealed that Biden checked his watch at least three times. Funke was forced to fact check his fact check, which he did grudgingly as a “clarification.” USA Today couldn’t even bring itself to say the fact was “true.” It was changed to “missing context.”
What context? The only one we can think of is “the context that this makes Biden look bad and we can’t have that.”
It’s tempting to dismiss these fact checkers as navel-gazing propaganda, but the problem is they are increasingly used by social media companies to censor information.
In the summer of 2020, USA Today ran a fact check that claimed that “the 1994 crime bill, strongly promoted by then-Sen. Joe Biden, did not bring mass incarceration to Black Americans.” Funny, lots of people on the left don’t think this is a lie, and USA Today’s reasoning is based on an analysis by The Brennan Center for Justice that called the bill’s legacy “complicated” — not exactly a debunking.Yet Facebook-owned Instagram, citing USA Today, banned people from expressing that opinion as “false information.” Coming just months before the 2020 election, this was a blatant example of USA Today and Facebook stifling criticism of Biden.
Nothing that USA Today has done since I stopped my regular gig with them has made me feel bad about my decision. But follow the link for more on Biden’s sleazy phone call, Rolling Stone’s Ivermectin dishonesty, and more.--Posted by

Chip Roy slams Congress approving women in military draft - TheBlaze
"Why don't I trust you? Let's see. Maybe it's because you (both R&D) have amassed $30 trillion in debt and are blowing through trillions more all while giving lip service to 'balanced budgets' for decades," he continued.
Roy then attacked both political parties for not securing the U.S. southern border, which has affected his home state of Texas. "Fentanyl pouring into our communities… murders, rapes… dead migrants on ranches… all in the false name of compassion," he proclaimed in the lengthy Twitter thread.
Roy claimed fellow Congress members "politicized a virus," adding that Americans were supplied with "wildly varying propaganda about it's origins, the nature of it's communicability, the efficacy of your mandated measures in response including vaccines, and ignoring of treatments."

How Adults Can Discover What Schools Are Really Teaching Kids | Intellectual Takeout
"Homeschoolers are no strangers to questions concerning their decision to educate their children at home. Such a choice opens them up to inquiries on everything from their qualifications to whether their children will be socially well-adjusted.
Homeschool parents realize that such questions are natural and come with the territory. But according to a recent Washington Post article, there is one question which many homeschoolers are never asked, but should be. Homeschool mom Sarah Bradley explains:
... Think about it.What I have a harder time understanding is why so few people think to ask the one question that would address most of their concerns and satisfy nearly all of their curiosity about our choice to home-school: “What are you learning about?”
Notice that I said “What are you learning about?” rather than “What are you teaching your son?” There’s a big difference, and it lies at the heart of our decision to home-school.”...
- On the other hand, asking a child to explain what they are learning in school immediately pulls them out of a narrow-minded mental prison.
