The mainstream media and the leadership of the Democratic Party are telling us not to believe our eyes and ears.

We are told that the protesters are not looting, assaulting police officers, threatening Jewish Americans or destroying property. We are told those peaceful demonstrators only seek justice for transgender people, Palestinians and undocumented immigrants.

We are told it's normal for males to play in girls’ sports. We are told Israel has no right to wage war against Hamas for the slaughter of 1,200 Israelis, including 36 children, in a surprise attack on Oct. 7.

We are told to ignore the deaths caused by drug cartels and hard-core criminals who illegally crossed our borders and have taken root in our country. We are told to ignore the $150 billion a year cost to the taxpayer for the living expenses and medical care of over 20 million undocumented, unvetted immigrants.

We are told to ignore the referendum of 77 million voters, who are sick and tired of war, riots, lawlessness, and the government’s out-of-control spending. I see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil.
