Day FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE of Presidential recovery.
Not the only anti-USA propaganda designed to demoralize our citizens, but a recent example.
Thanks to @amuse on X for sharing the propaganda, and the TRUTH!
Imagine you are a sailor aboard USS Abraham Lincoln, somewhere in the waters off Iran, flying combat missions around the clock during Operation Epic Fury. You are eating hot eggs for breakfast, grilled chicken for lunch, roast beef for dinner, and grabbing a plate at midnight rations before your next watch.
Meanwhile, halfway around the world, a domestic media apparatus is publishing photographs purporting to show your meals as rotten slabs of unidentified meat, telling the American public you are starving. The photographs were not taken aboard your ship. They were not taken this decade. Some of them appear to have originated during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, circulated on Reddit as far back as 2017, and laundered through Southeast Asian social media accounts before being amplified by Ukrainian 𝕏 accounts and finally laundered into American living rooms by outlets like USA Today, CNN, and MSNBC.
This is not journalism. This is information warfare, and the American press is either a willing participant or too incompetent to be trusted with the facts.
The proposition I want to defend here is straightforward. The stories alleging food shortages and degraded conditions aboard USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli during Operation Epic Fury were coordinated anti-American propaganda, designed to demoralize the US public and generate opposition to military operations.
One of a series of excellent videos produced by PragerU that commemorate the 250th anniversary of our Independence from Great Britain.
A midnight chase. A coded signal. A countryside with minutes to wake up.
On April 18, 1775, it became a race: Paul Revere vs. a marching British column—who would reach Lexington first? If the British do, Adams and Hancock are taken. If they push through to Concord first, they can seize or destroy Patriot military stores—and the rebellion wakes up with no leaders and no means to fight.
American religious liberty is a gift, and conservative Catholics and Evangelicals have been its joint stewards for generations. That partnership is exactly what Axelrod wants to destroy.
There has been a lot of discussion on social media platforms about the Pope, Trump, Obama and David Axelrod. Here is one analysis of the situation, by Ken Blackwell on X (@kenblackwell).
What do you think? I’m sure each of us has our own beliefs (religious and/or political) about the situation.
TEXT:
I am a man of Christian faith, influenced by a Jesuit education.
@XavierU is my home.
I played football there, earned two degrees there, and spent years as an administrator and member of the faculty.
The Jesuits’ teachings on reasoning influenced how I argue, think, and hold the powerful accountable.
They taught me that faith without discernment is not faith. It’s naivety.
So when I look at what has happened in Rome over the past two weeks, I am not confused.
I am clear-eyed.
And what I see is a political operation.
