Over on X, Colin Rugg has identified five big lies that the media is telling in a comprehensive effort to rewrite history. These are worth sharing and elaborating with facts, which I will add here. There are more lies than these five, and there will be more lies forthcoming, so we need to become hyperaware of the Democratic Party-corporate media fog machine. Here’s Rugg’s tweet:
The first big lie is that Kamala Harris was never border czar. What is happening here is a paradigm of historical revisionism and memory-holing. The media spent the past week scrubbing and revising their own reports since 2021 that Kamala was in charge of the border. I have already shared with you clear evidence that makes it absolutely clear that Harris was the border czar—still is, as far as I now. Obviously, she has utterly failed in her assigned task. At one point, Harris even admitted never going to border. Her rationalization? “I haven’t been to Europe, either.” Way to bolster one’s bona fides.
The second big lie is that Harris was not a DEI pick for Vice President. I went back through the record this morning. The record makes clear that Harris was absolutely a DEI pick. In March 2020, President Biden vowed that he would pick a woman. By at least June, those around Biden were pressuring him to make that woman a black woman. In July, Biden said he had a group of four black women from which he would make his pick. In August, he picked Harris. This is what DEI is: choosing people not based on the accomplishments, qualifications, and talents, but on the basis of gender and race. (Biden did the same thing with Ketanji Jackson for the Supreme Court.)
Here’s what I don’t understand (I do understand, but for rhetorical effect…). If DEI is so great, if this is why it exists, then why would anybody deny that a person is a DEI pick or hire? Wouldn’t they celebrate the success of the project? This is a common tactic with progressives. They want DEI, the practical expression of their identitarian worldview, but if you talk about what DEI actually involves, then they accuse of you of “racism.” They do the same thing on the trans issue. They talk about the importance of trans rights, but when you talk about what that actually entails, for example, transgressing child safeguarding norms, or, for another example, the trampling of women’s rights, they accuse you of “transphobia.” These are thought-stopping cliches. They smear you to silence you. I get it all the time and they can just fuck off with that shit.
Third, JD Vance had sex with a couch. Have you heard this one? (I will spare you the details, but if you are interested, go here.) Bizarre, I know, but there are no depths to which Democrats and progressives won’t sink. The rumor was that Vance told the story in his 2016 memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. There is no such story in the book. This didn’t happen. To be honest, I am not sure it matters if it had. Puberty is hard. The struggle is real. Some boys will fuck anything. But Vance isn’t a couch-fucker, so if you accuse him of it, you would be wrong. However, it’s a weird rumor for progressives to spread given that they insist on curating obscene children’s books for public school libraries that go well beyond couch-fucking. Indeed, had Vance been a Democrat, his couch-fucking technique might have been included in sex education curriculum (maybe add a butt plug to the story).
Fourth, President Biden dropped out of the race to save democracy. We all watched this unfold in real time. That’s not what happened. It is well known that Biden refused to drop out of the race. Like many Democrats, Biden doesn’t know how bad off he is. His wife, Jill, who serves as his nurse and minder, has been his enabler-in-chief (she is on the cover of Vogue). The reality is that Biden was forced out by top Democrats and donors who threaten to withhold money from the campaign and even invoke the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. What we witnessed was a coup that replaced Biden with a DEI pick. Turns out, the Democratic Party is not very democratic (of course, we knew that from the 2008 and 2016 primaries).
Fifth, CBS claims Trump is lying by saying Harris donated to Minnesota Freedom Fund, a fund that was bailing out individuals accused of serious crimes during the George Floyd riots. The fact is that Harris promoted the fund on X and encouraged people to donate. She did a lot more than that, as you will remember. She encouraged the rioters on many occasions. She even called Jacob Blake, a Kenosha man who tried to knife police officers during a crime in progress, and praised him (Unacceptable: Evers and Biden Inflame Insurrectionist Passions). The crime? He was kidnapping children.
Biden and Harris’ intervention helped feed the rioting that destroyed much of Kenosha. Those were the riots in which a young man named Kyle Rittenhouse had to defend himself against career criminals and pedophiles that make up the street-level troops of the Democratic Party. (I was publishing articles on all this in real time. Here is a sampling: Suicide by Cop and Victim-Precipitated Homicide; A Clear Case of Self-Defense: The Trial of Kyle Rittenhouse; Rittenhouse’s Real Crime and Corporate State Promotion of Extremism; The Establishment Project to Demonize Conservative White Males. What’s This All About? My articles on Antifa and Black Lives Matter violence are many and I may return later to share links to them.)

An update on the attempt to revise the history of the assassination attempt on Trump (see FBI Director Feeds Narrative Questioning True Facts About Assassination Attempt), The New York Times published an article today reporting that “a detailed analysis of bullet trajectories, footage, photos and audio by The New York Times strongly suggests Mr. Trump was grazed by the first of eight bullets fired by the gunman, Thomas Crooks. Subsequent bullets wounded two rally goers and killed a third.” That’s what I said from the beginning (see They Tried to Kill Donald Trump Yesterday).
