Sorry, Who’s the President Now?
The third but definitely far from least of my “Three Laws of the Media” is: Always assume that “fact-checkers” are trying to bullshit you. You’ll almost never be wrong. “Fact-checkers” are, in fact, anything but. In reality, they’re mainstream media (which is to say, left-wing)
CPAC Shows It’s Trump 2024 or Bust

Trump Won a Rigged Election

Forked Tongues and Short Memories
Listening to Labor leader Anthony Albanese pontificating about the unsubstantiated – and strongly denied – rape allegations against Attorney-General Christian Porter, it was hard to fight down the gut-wrenching nausea.
