Mainstream Media Helps Kamala Harris Change Anti-Fracking Stance

Historical fracking-objector Kamala Harris has pledged not to ban the oil drilling practice amid criticism from the Republican Party.

The Vice President and Democratic Party presumptive nominee has long opposed fracking, going as far to say in 2019 that there was “no question” about her stance.

However, with Harris heavily relying on swing states in order to beat GOP nominee and former president Donald Trump, the Democrat has shifted her tune.

“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking,” she told a CNN Town Hall in 2019, adding that she had a “history of working on this issue” in California.

Harris’ anti-fracking viewpoint has stretched beyond presidential ambitions, however. In the same year, she cosponsored the Green New Deal – a climate change proposal which included a ban on fracking.

“Climate change is real, and it poses an existential threat to us as human beings, and it is within our power to do something about it,” Harris said while on her first campaign trial. “I am supporting the Green New Deal.”

As the media continues to purge previous criticism of Harris, Politico declared her anti-fracking stance as “allegations” and “accusations.”

It’s amazing how the strategy of the Harris campaign and her media enablers is to pretend she hasn’t said anything she’s ever said in the past?

Even the best political spin doctor will struggle to describe something as an “allegation” when there’s video evidence of the presidential candidate making that exact claim…

Others on social media were critical of the publication.

Vice President Harris is yet to be confirmed as the Democratic Party’s nominee – a process which is all-but certain to take place at August’s Democratic National Convention.

Facebook Apologizes After Censoring Iconic Donald Trump Photograph

An instantly iconic photograph took social media by storm in the wake of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

Moments after being shot at a rally in Butler, PA, the former president raised his fist and yelled “Fight! Fight! Fight!” towards supporters.

A close-up taken by Associated Press photographer Evan Vucci captured the moment of a bloodied, defiant Trump standing up for democracy.

However, the powers-that-be at Facebook are now trying to dispute its existence entirely. One user who shared the photo immediately after the shooting on Saturday, July 13, found that it had been flagged as “false information.”

The Mark Zuckerberg-owned social media platform warned that those “who regularly share false information may have their posts moved lower” in the news feeds of other users, thus meaning “other people are less likely to see them”.

Many users described the notice as “election interference” by the Meta-operated site (which is nothing new for them).

Others presented a less favorable perception of the platform.

Another user called for a boycott.

Meta Public Affairs Director Dani Lever later apologized for “error.”

“This fact check was initially applied to a doctored photo showing the secret service agents smiling, and in some cases our systems incorrectly applied that fact check to the real photo,” she said in a statement. “This has been fixed and we apologize for the mistake.”

Polling

Young Men Are Becoming More Conservative, Poll Finds

After years of insufferable identity politics from the left, young men are increasingly flocking to the Republican Party according to a new poll from the Wall Street Journal.

The poll reveals a marked shift to the right by young voters since 2013.

Eleven years ago, less than two in five 18-29-year-old men identified as Republicans (38%), with that figure dropping as low as 36% by 2016.

However, Donald Trump’s presidency, as well as Joe Biden’s to an extent, has fueled a rise in conservativism among young men with 49% of those surveyed now aligned with the GOP.

12th-graders have also seen a shift in their political beliefs. While teenage girls have remained predominantly liberal, the number of conservative boys has surpassed liberal-minded adolescents since 2010, with the gap widening to around 10 percentage points once “don’t knows” are factored in.

On a more recent scale, Biden’s tenure in the White House has seen support drop among all demographics and voting options for young adults.

Liberal women aged 18-29 outnumber Republicans by more than 30 percentage points in congressional ballots. However, young men have switched from the Democrats with the GOP leading by 12 points heading into November’s elections.

The trend matches the presidential ballot too. Biden continues to lead Trump by 30 points among 18-29-year-old women, but Trump leads his former presidential rival by 14 points for the opposite gender.

Some blamed the Democrats for this shift among young voters to the right.

Other users noted the huge divide between the two genders with women seemingly becoming more liberal.

Paris Olympic Organizers Apologize For “Blasphemous” Opening Ceremony Scene

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris received a lot of flak on social media.

Totaling more than four hours in length, the monotonous procession was largely uneventful. However, one section of the ceremony was deemed insulting to many Christians.

Event organizers opted to include a recreation of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous “The Last Supper” – the final meal Jesus shared with the Twelve Apostles before his crucifixion.

However, the recreation featured drag queens, transgender models and a naked singer as Dionysus – the Greek god of wine.

Many on social media were outraged by “gratuitous blasphemy”, while Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini described the scene as “sleazy” and insulting.

Organizers later issued an apology for the recreation, adding that they aimed to “trigger a reflection” among spectators.

“We imagined a ceremony to show our values and our principles, so we gave a very committed message,” said Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet. “The idea was to really trigger a reflection. We wanted to have a message as strong as possible.

“Naturally we had to take into account the international community. Having said that – it is a French ceremony for the French games – so we trusted our artistic director. We have freedom of expression in France and we wanted to protect it.”

Paris 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps later claimed that there was “never an intention” to disrespect religious groups.

“If people have taken any offence we are really sorry,” she added.

“My Son Is Dead” – Elon Musk Vows To “Destroy” Wokeism In Heartbreaking Interview

Business magnate Elon Musk claims he was “tricked” into signing documents to allow his son Xavier to “change” his gender from male to female.

Xavier Musk, who changed name and gender in 2022, disowned his father in a response on Threads – the Mark Zuckerberg-owned rival platform to Musk’s X.

In a recent interview with Jordan Peterson, the world’s richest man pledged to “destroy the woke mind virus” after professionals claimed his son would commit suicide if he did not permit Xavier to switch gender.

“It happened to one of my older boys, Xavier. I was essentially tricked into signing documents for puberty blockers without understanding the full implications,” Musk said. “COVID was happening, adding to the confusion, and I was told that Xavier might commit suicide if he didn’t get the treatment.”

“That was a lie from the outset” Peterson interjected of the “suicide” claims, pointing out that underlying mental health reasons are responsible for the high transgender suicide rate, not a lack of “social acceptance” or so-called “gender affirming care.”

“I lost my son, essentially. The term “deadnaming”‘” exists for a reason… because your son is dead. My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus,” Musk said.

Some on social media offered their condolences to Musk.

Others pledged to help Musk defeat wokeism.

The full two-hour interview is available on Jordan Peterson’s X account.

Gab CEO Reveals Pro-Democrat Posts By Donald Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the gunman at the infamous Donald Trump rally in Butler, PA, on Saturday, July 13, reportedly used the controversial right-wing social media platform Gab to express his “support of President [Joe] Biden.”

CEO Andrew Torba announced the news on Wednesday, July 24, after the company “received an emergency disclosure request” from law enforcement officials investigating the assassination attempt. Torba added that the company was “unable to confirm that the account in question actually belonged” to Crooks, which only posted nine times in February 2021.

The majority of the posts from the “epicMicrowave” account believed to have been Crooks’ were in support of President Biden. Most focused on a Biden administration executive order regarding immigration, although the account also posted a number of times concerning the results of the 2020 presidential election.

A sampling of his alleged comments can be read below.

CEO Torba – who is a vocal critic of Joe Biden and the left – issued an additional statement on Thursday, July 25.

“Yesterday, in the process of responding to an emergency disclosure request from a U.S. law enforcement agency, Gab learned that a pro-Biden/Harris account on the site was believed to have belonged to Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate President Trump,” Torba wrote on X. “After backing up the account, we notified the public.”

Torba added that the site had “published the first evidence making it very apparent that Crooks was a left-wing partisan who hated President Trump’s immigration policies”.

However, he was unable to confirm which agency had issued the search warrant due to the ongoing investigation.

Liberty Bell Replica Vandalized As Thousands Riot Against Netanyahu Visit

A replica of the Liberty Bell was recently vandalized with pro-Hamas symbols and anti-Israel messages amid a visit to the Capitol by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Thousands of rioters descended on the Washington D.C. monument as Netanyahu addressed Congress, with the Liberty Bell being a prominent target.

The bell was covered in graffiti, including hateful messages which read “F*** Israel”, “Abolish Israel”, and “All Zionists are bastards”. A red triangular symbol synonymous with Hamas was also drawn on the monument, as well as a message, “Long Live the Intifada”, which is a euphemism for violence against Israelis and Jews.

Elsewhere in D.C., rioters graffitied “Hamas is coming” on the Christopher Columbus statue. At Union Station, 23 people were arrested for a gathering which saw burnings of the American flags an effigy of Netanyahu.

Many on social media platform X decried the vandalism, with owner and CEO Elon Musk describing it as “messed up”.

Others were incandescent with anger.

Another called for criminal prosecution.

Investigative journalist and veteran Sarah Fields added further context on the significance of the rioters’ actions and the importance of the Liberty Bell.

The vandalism was cleaned up the following day.

The Mainstream Media Is Deleting Previous Reporting About Kamala Harris

Barring yet another shocking moment in a rollercoaster campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris will be the Democratic Party’s nominee for the 2024 presidential election.

Although Harris has been in the limelight as Vice President, the media attention towards her has increased substantially given that there’s a possibility she could become the 47th President of the United States.

Of course, when something is published on the internet, it can remain online indefinitely.

As deleting stories is generally frowned upon, editors may choose to amend a story years after initial publication if they no longer agree with the original copy – but in the case of Harris, many are trying to simply pretend their past repotting on Harris never existed in the first place.

Prominent lawyer John LeFevre discovered instances of this in relation to Vice President Harris.

In one instance, Axois reported that it was a myth that Kamala Harris was border czar, which they themselves referred to her as in multiple articles in 2021.

They’ve since updated their latest reporting denying that Harris is border czar by claiming their past reporting was wrong.

Another example, this time by GovTrack, noted Harris to be “the most left-leaning senator in 2019” – a statement which was removed as Harris’ “entire tenure in the senate showed a different story.”

Bizarrely, they didn’t seem to think telling this “different story” was important until right after Biden dropped out of the race.

Lastly, Democrats are desperate to claim that it’s “racist” to refer to Kamala Harris as a DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) hire.

But as it turns out, the White House already effectively called her that themselves.

And in that case, you can still access Biden saying that on the White House website.

The fact that mainstream media outlets are resorting to such desperation brings the media industry into disrepute. Clarifications should be used to correct misinformation, spellings, or add contextual information, rather than to change views of the past to appease the present.

There’s also a question of precedent. If media outlets are reviewing historical articles, shouldn’t they all be updated, rather than just concerning the Democrat nominee?

A rhetorical question, admittedly.

Anti-Israel Congresswoman’s Extraordinary Ties To Palestinian Terrorist Exposed

California Rep. Sara Jacobs holds a peculiar position on the Israel-Hamas war.

Despite her Jewish faith, Rep. Jacobs is prominently anti-Israel when it comes to the conflict. She previously called upon the United States government to withdraw arms funding for the Benjamin Netanyahu’s forces, and her remarks often focus on the impact on Palestinian civilians rather than the atrocities of the Hamas-led regime.

This seemingly conflicted viewpoint was emphasized once again on Thursday, July 24, when she announced she would not be attending the Israeli Prime Minister’s speech to Congress.

However, it was the response by one social media user which really raised eyebrows.

As some sleuthing from Ariel Sterman uncovered, a few simple Google searches reveal that her fiancé is Palestinian.

Now, that wouldn’t be damning on it’s own. After all, surely she’s more likely to sympathize with the Palestinians if she’s going to be married to one.

But the rabbit hole goes far deeper than that. Her Palestinian husband is the grandson of Abu Youssef, a member of the terrorist and far-left Palestine Liberation Organization, and key planner of the 1972 Munich massacre, which killed 11 Israelis. Seven months later, Youssef and his wife were killed in an Israeli raid on their Beirut apartment while their children were home.

In 1965, while working in Kuwait, Abu Youssef co-founded Fatah with Yasser Arafat and other exiled Palestinians.

Youssef’s grandson Ammar Campa-Najjar is also involved in U.S. Democrat politics, and worked as a regional field director for Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign. He was also a White House intern during the Obama administration, and worked in the Labor department. He’s also unsuccessfully run for Congress twice.

Commenters reacted with shock at the response.

“So what?” – Champion Boxer Mike Tyson Defends Support For Donald Trump

Former world heavyweight champion boxer Mike Tyson has come out in support of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Tyson, who is set to return to the ring later this year to face influencer Jake Paul, was appearing on a podcast when he endorsed the former president, adding that he “made a lot of money” under Republican presidents compared to Democratic ones.

“So what,” he told the podcast when announcing his support. “If I like Donald Trump and I wanna vote for him, so what?”

Watch the full clip below:

Some on social media drew a comparison with Tyson’s formidability during the prime of his boxing career.

Another user wondered whether anyone would actually challenge Tyson over his political standpoints.

Others also pledged their support for the Republican nominee.

Iron Mike has made a number of comments about Trump in recent years having recently compared the conviction against him to the treatment of Black Americans in the legal system.
