The Conservative Cave

CNN initially reported the Saturday assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump as if the former president had merely fallen off a stage – a characterization that swiftly earned condemnation from conservative lawmakers and those commenting on social media.

"Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally," CNN's headline read shortly after news broke that there was possible gunfire at a Pennsylvania Trump rally.

The headline angered conservative lawmakers, as well as others on social media, who described the headline as "conscious deception" and "disgraceful."

Texas can continue to prohibit illegal immigrants from receiving in-state tuition rates at public universities, a federal court affirmed.

The ruling last Thursday by a three-judge panel of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upholds an agreement between Trump administration and Texas, which ended the Lone Star State’s program. Federal law prohibits illegal immigrants from receiving better tuition rates than out-of-state American citizens.

According to the appeals court ruling, “two advocacy groups, a community college, and a student sought to intervene and undo the consent judgment. The district court denied intervention, reasoning that any attempt to intervene would be futile because the statute was preempted.”

The July 9 ruling upheld a district court decision.

One of the most depressing facts I have had to come to terms with is that even obvious propaganda campaigns work as long as you can keep the chanting going.

In the space of about two years, the left managed to convince people that the Hamas terrorists who committed horrific atrocities on innocent concertgoers and peace activists were the good guys, despite all the video evidence and the fact that they held hostages, including children, for well over a year.

All it took was some obviously fake videos, staged photo ops, UN propaganda, and enough liberals to hop on the bandwagon, and suddenly a good chunk of the Western world is rooting for evil.

The "genocide" and "famine" myths were among the most damaging, and anybody who bothered to look into the claims had ample evidence they were false. But aid organizations and the United Nations backed the claims up for a long time, and are finally being forced to admit that perhaps it was Hamas who was at fault.

The UNRWA has suspended 100 employees for directly participating in the October 7th massacres, and thousands more are associated with Hamas. Yet we are still told that the organization is great and totally reliable.
...
Evidence that Hamas uses child soldiers has been around for decades, yet every statistic that shows a teenager who died is considered proof that Israel is targeting children.
...
Gaza hospitals were terrorist havens. Hospitals were held there. Hamas commanders worked in the hospitals, and doctors who have become rock stars for the global left are now being revealed to be top Hamas commanders.
...
In fact, it's Hamas itself that is exposing the lies. Now that the war is basically over, it is publishing eulogies to its "martyrs," and many of the people that Western institutions and the media have lionized are celebrated by Hamas as top leaders who made the ultimate sacrifice.
...
There is a massive campaign to get Israel to release a top Hamas commander who happens to have been a doctor. He has become a cause célèbre. The goal is to make Israel look horrible by appropriating the respect we have for doctors and turning it into a weapon. If you spend any time on X you will see constant posts about how he is being starved to death, is illegally detained, and that this is yet another example of how evil Israel is.

He's a Hamas Colonel. A top figure in the organization, and one of the key figures who made it possible to turn hospitals into centers of Hamas terrorism planning.
