Remember the targeting of tea party / conservative groups by the Obama IRS back in 2010? To minimize the impact of the tea party movement in the 2010 and 2012 elections.
Remember how it started…. With Obama’s public attacks against these grassroots groups…. And Lois Lerner head of the IRS Exempt Organizations division, taking the hint… and starting and running a years long series of oppressive IRS actions against the groups….to thwart them and put them out of business before they could find a foothold and get going for real.
Having represented a number of the groups, I knew there was something going on at the IRS in 2010, when applications for exempt status that normally took 30 days to process suddenly became “stalled” … for months…. Then for years…
...the IC concluded that Russia did not possess the ability to impact the 2016 election in the manner the media, Hillary Clinton, and the Democrats were suggesting daily.
So, Obama ordered a new assessment to be compiled, one that included the fake Steele Dossier, a Clinton campaign-funded opposition research project that’s littered with known Russian disinformation, to say what the intelligence community assessed was not true...
In the wake of legal action over a deceptively edited "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris in the 2024 White House race, President Donald Trump on Tuesday said CBS and its parent company Paramount have finally paid a $16 million settlement, with another $20 million on the way.
"Paramount/CBS/60 Minutes have today paid $16 Million Dollars in settlement," Trump wrote on Truth Social, "and we also anticipate receiving $20 Million Dollars more from the new Owners, in Advertising, PSAs, or similar Programming, for a total of over $36 Million Dollars."
Administrators at elite American colleges are simultaneously outsourcing some of their work evaluating potential students to juvenile critics around the world while giving applicants an opportunity to virtue-signal their way into contention by telling strangers what they want to hear about hot-button topics like abortion and the war in Gaza.
“Obama didn’t spy on Trump.” Fact: He did — through FISA warrants based on false pretenses...
“Hillary didn’t pay for the dossier.” Fact: She did — through the DNC and Fusion GPS...
“The FBI didn’t use the dossier to get a FISA warrant.” Fact: They did. They used the unverified, Clinton-funded dossier to justify spying on Carter Page.
“The Democrats didn’t collude with the FBI to get Trump.” Fact: They did. From Peter Strzok’s text messages to Comey’s leaks, from Lisa Page to the Mueller circus, the evidence is overwhelming...
And the media? They amplified the lies.
They called it a “conspiracy theory” — until the truth came out...
SanDisk for the past two years had eyed Mundy Township as the home of a new factory that could have created up to 10,000 jobs in the area. State officials, however, announced Wednesday, July 16, that the company would not move forward with the project due to rising national economic uncertainty and concerns about potential federal policy shifts, including Trump’s tariffs...
Wynder never bothered calling SanDisk to ask why it pulled out.
So how does he know it was the “Trump tariffs” that caused it to leave?
Because Gretchen Whitmer said so...
This is calledIdea Laundering.
And once you see it, you won’t be able to miss it in the news you read.
How it works is this:
Politician A says a thing — Gov. Whitmer says SanDisk pulled out because of the Trump tariffs.
Reporter B repeats that thing. Whether or not it’s true, whether or not there is a second source.
Politician Arepeats Reporter B repeating the claim.
Voila, a narrative spoken by as little as one person is now an Established Fact, which can be used in any coverage going forward.
And it all traces back to three little words: “Was attributed to.”
White House border czar Tom Homan laid into the mainstream media for pushing a narrative about the type of people being arrested by federal immigration officers.
The California Globe reported that “thousands of fast food jobs were shed by companies in anticipation for the higher costs,” including 1,200 drivers at Pizza Hut. Once the law took effect on April 1, 2024, “restaurants automated what they could to avoid the higher wages,” and “some fast food restaurants also closed.”
By June 2024, Stanford University data indicated “over 10,000 fast food jobs were already lost.”...
“This document shows an extreme lack of effort and due diligence in the FBI’s investigation of former Secretary Clinton’s email usage and mishandling of highly classified information,” Grassley said. “Under Comey’s leadership, the FBI failed to perform fundamental investigative work and left key pieces of evidence on the cutting room floor.
“The Comey FBI’s negligent approach and perhaps intentional lack of effort in the Clinton investigation is a stark contrast to its full-throated investigation of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, which was based on the uncorroborated and now discredited Steele dossier.
The report found that immigration is a significant driver of apartment demand, with rents for apartments climbing to all-time highs in cities with large numbers of immigrants...
In the 2017/2018 report, the UK’s ranking improved from seventh to fourth after a change in methodology. But Mr Schwab, 87, wrote to staff that the UK “must not see any improvement”, as otherwise it would be “exploited by the Brexit camp”.
However, policy experts say such statements give a misleading impression. Medicaid spending is still expected to grow over the next decade, but at a slower rate than previously projected.
"It's not the draconian cuts that the left is talking about," Hayden Dublois, data and analytics director at the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), told the DCNF. "Medicaid spending will still grow during the budget window, but will just grow a little less than it otherwise would have."
