Why do the press let Trump get away with his blatant lies? He said gasoline is at $2 per gallon. The national average for gas is nearly $3.10 per gallon, according to GasBuddy. Has truthful reporting on the simplest of issues just evaporated in the USA?

Trump’s latest claim won’t fool even MAGA. Walmart’s 2025 thanksgiving meal basket which is 25% lower than a deal in 2024 is not the same basket: fewer items, different (and non brand name) products. It’s just a grocery store promotion. He must think the US public are a bunch of gullible turkeys.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

In a CBS interview on Sunday US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Ontario Govt ad (which used Ronald Reagan’s words) that has angered Trump is “interference in US sovereign matters." Oh? And what about Trump threats to annex Canada, and interference in Canadian sovereignty? 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

I always thought that privately funded soldiers were called mercenaries. Is this what the great US military are becoming with the anonymous private donation to pay their salaries?

Reagan Foundation is wrong: Reagan’s address was delivered while US President in the course of official duties & are automatically public domain under 17 USC. § 105. So the text, audio, & video are public domain. One may quote, reproduce, or remix the material without needing permission. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

So Trump ends trade talks with 🇨🇦 because the Ontario Govt paid for an ad quoting Ronald Reagan dismantling the myth that tariffs are good for the US. Here’s the source for the Ontario ad from the Reagan Library. Trump says what Ontario produced was “fraudulent and fake”. Doesn’t appear so! #cdnpoli

The Govt of Ontario 🇨🇦 has taken out this ad in the USA. Trump is livid and is halting all Canada-US trade negotiations. He can’t take the truth, even when articulated by Ronald Reagan, who is quoted in the ad. #cdnpoli

Oct 14 2025 extra 10% “national security” tariff on softwood from Canada on top of previous Trump tariffs so US importers of lumber from Canada face nearly 40% composite tariff rates. Trump tariffs on Russian softwood lumber under Section 232 from Oct 14 2025: 10%. With friends like this…! #cdnpoli

The process begun towards lasting #peace in the Middle East is amazing but the media seems to have forgotten these figures:
Under Biden: 108 hostages released.
Under Trump: 33 alive (includes the recent 20) + 4 bodies = 37 total returns.
Trump basks in glory and proclaims that Biden hates Israel.

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom.bsky.social · 27d

That @JoeBiden put out this magnanimous & gracious statement AFTER all the horrible, dishonest things Trump said about Biden today, says so much about who Joe Biden is as a person. And reminds us all once again of what an utterly horrible, small, bad, & insecure person Trump is.
