Crocket has some stiff competition. Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Georgia) once said he was worried a proposed military buildup on Guam might cause the island to “become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) reportedly once asked NASA scientists if the Mars rover could drive to where Neil Armstrong planted the American flag in 1969.
Crockett’s buddy, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York), gives her a real run for her money. In 2018, she claimed the U.S. could save “$21 trillion by tightening controls on Pentagon budgets” then, in 2019, she said the world would “end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.”

ISLAM: During a sermon last Friday, Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami called for the executions of President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “You are murderers, and you need to be punished,” the cleric said. In response, the crowd chated of “Death to America,” “Death to England” and “Death to Israel.”
So much for the “religion of peace.”

MEME: In 2016, Douglass Mackey shared some memes like the one above. Prosecutors said he had tried to influence the election; he was convicted and sentenced to spend seven months in prison. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals just overturned his conviction.
PSA: [7:46] – My brother’s dermatologist removed some spots on his back, but left one, assuring him it wasn’t a problem. It was a malignant melanoma that spread to his brain. He died at age 40, leaving a widow with 6 children under age 11 to raise.
GRAMMY NOTES: [3:17] – This is the coolest sewing hack ever! The way I was taught to make bias tape was to take a square piece of fabric and cut it diagonally over and over, then sew/press all the ends together one at a time. CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1398959394455116 to see one hack to slightly simplify the strip cutting. However, these pieces still need to be connected, which is tedious to say the least. Getting those diagonal ends to line up right always breaks my brain.
But with the hack shown in the video, you cut the starting square only once on the diagonal, then swap the pieces and sew/press a single seam. Then, you mark diagonal lines on the back side at the width you want, fold with one tricky bit, and sew/press one more seam. The lines will form a spiral that, when you cut with scissors, reaps one, long piece of bias tape. I just finished my first one and it’s perfect!

POLICEMEN KILLED at “MOSTLY PEACEFUL” JANUARY 6 PROTEST HOAX: The January 6 protest is associated with nine deaths. Three protesters suffered fatal medical emergencies during the event that were unrelated to the violence at the Capitol Building, while four law enforcement officers committed suicide in the weeks following.
U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick had a stroke and died the day after. The autopsy suggested the events of the previous day may have contributed to his death, but had not been the cause.
The only person who was actually killed in the midst of the riot was Ashli Babbit, an unarmed pro-Trump protester, who was shot at point blank range by a police officer.

RITTENHOUSE HOAX: Democrats and their media shills labeled Kyle Rittenhouse a racist and a murderer after he shot three men, killing 2 and wounding the third, during a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25, 2020. All of his detractors conveniently ignored the fact that all four of the men were white and that Rittenhouse said the men had tried to kill him.
Rittenhouse, then 17 years old, went to the protest to protect a relative’s business from vandals and looters. The three individuals who attacked him were apparently there to take advantage of the widespread lawlessness. They singled out Rittenhouse, chased him and viciously attacked him. During the highly publicized trial, Rittenhouse argued he had only shot at the men in self-defense. Since the evidence showed the three men had tried to kill him, the jury acquitted him on all charges.
EATING WHILE BLACK HOAX: [10:31] – In 2018, Oumou Kanoute, a black psychology student at Smith College in Massachusetts, perpetrated a racism hoax that the Left embraced with their usual enthusiasm.
CNN: “Smith College student who was racially profiled while eating says the incident left her so shaken she can’t sleep”
Washington Post: “Smith college employee called police on black student eating lunch”
New York Times: “‘All I Did Was Be Black’: Police Are Called on College Student Eating Lunch”
The problem is … racism had nothing to do with anything. A janitor who had worked at the college for 35 years was cleaning the closed cafeteria when he noticed Kanoute reclining and eating alone, in a far corner of the canteen which was supposed to be closed. The janitor called security, because the campus police had instructed staff not to confront strangers.
Oumou Kanoute responded to being asked to leave a closed cafeteria by shrieking raaacism. The university put the janitor on a paid leave.
Then, Kanoute doxxed Jackie Blair, a cafeteria employee who had had nothing to do with the incident, labeling her “the racist person.” Blair says she was harassed afterwards and the stress worsened her lupus to where she ended up in the hospital.
Kanoute also used social media to falsely accuse a second janitor, Mark Patenaude, of racism. He hadn’t even been on campus at the time. After 21 years of service, Patenaude ended up quitting over the stress.
Smith College went so far as to force all of its employees to attend a humiliating, anti-white racial training seminar, which resulted in Jodi Shaw’s very public resignation (video above).

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We praise You and we thank You for telling us in Psalm 91 that You will cover us with Your feathers and that, under Your wings, we will find refuge! In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
FOLLOW THE SCIENCE: [16:50 ] – This is really worth your time.
ICE: [12:30] – Harold’s bogus 6% figure is based on an NBC News article entitled “Despite promise to remove ‘worst of the worst,’ ICE has arrested only 6% of known immigrant murderers.”
The 6% is not what Harold actually said, which was that, “of the deportations that we have had so far, only 6% have been hardened criminals.” Last September, ICE told Congress there were more than 13,000 illegals in the USA at that time who were known to have committed murder; of these, only 752 (about 6%) have been picked up by ICE. Since “6% of known murderers” is a very different thing from “6% of all illegals deported”, Harold’s claim utterly fails.
But there is another problem with his claim, which is his use of the vague term “hardened criminal.” According to GROK, a “hardened criminal” is someone who has repeatedly engaged in criminal behavior and who often shows a lack of remorse and a persistent disregard for the law. In other words, their “hardened” status is based not on the heinousness or violence of their crimes, but rather on their bad attitudes.
So how about the general idea behind Harold’s claim, which is that Trump said they’d go after “the worst of the worst” first. A recent article published by Cato (link below) reported that 65% of the people picked up by ICE this year have had no criminal convictions and that 93% have had no violent convictions. Again, we see a leftie playing with words to exaggerate the narrative. “No convictions” doesn’t mean they aren’t wanted on charges somewhere. And “no violent convictions” definitely does not mean they’re good neighbors.
Deep into the article, the author admits that 29% of illegals detained by ICE this year have had criminal convictions. IOW, nearly a third of those have been convicted of (not just charged or suspected of) committing crimes such as human trafficking, prostitution, drug smuggling, burglary, property damage, etc. etc. etc.
So, cry me a river if some of the “hardened” illegals who have flouted our immigration laws for however long have been getting picked up with the MS-13 gang bangers. I don’t care if they got caught fishing without a license; just being here at all made them illegal. Trump gave them a very generous opportunity to self-deport and get on a list for genuine immigrants. They chose to stay. I am happy to have ICE show them the door.

BBB: [3:52] – Debunking Democrat lies.

BORDER: DHS is revoking the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of roughly 76,000 Haitians currently living in the US. Created by Congress through the Immigration Act of 1990, TPS allows individuals from countries affected by natural disasters, war, or other dangerous, unusual circumstances to seek refuge in the U.S. This program can be renewed in 18-month increments.
Secretary Noem said, “Temporary Protected Status was designed to be just that—temporary. It is clear that the Government of Honduras has taken all of the necessary steps to overcome the impacts of Hurricane Mitch, almost 27 years ago.” IOW, it’s time for those people to go home.

The Texas Medical Board also noted that any complaints about Propst would be thoroughly investigated.
In 2021, the Left celebrated her for opposing ending mask mandates in schools and serving on the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Council on Children and Disasters. She is still a member of the Council on Children and Disasters. The council’s website welcome page says, “The Council on Children and Disasters areas of expertise include equitable disaster planning and management for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults throughout all disaster phases, such as preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery.”
Apparently, Dr. Propst doesn’t subscribe to the “equitable” part.

SEVEN-HOUR GAP HOAX: In April 2022, the Left Stream Media pushed out a story that, between 11:17 a.m. and 6:54 p.m. on January 6, 2021, documented communication with allies occurred between then-President Trump and allies, including a call to Vice President Mike Pence. Yet, during this seven hours and 37 minutes period, the White House switchboard logs showed no activity presidential activity. This led to speculation of a cover-up, with suggestions that Trump used burner phones and/or had suppressed records.
However, CNN later reported that the six pages of White House switchboard logs for January 6 were complete, and the gap was likely due to Trump’s typical phone habits. He rarely used the switchboard when in the Oval Office, relying instead on staff-placed calls via landlines or cell phones, which were not logged by the switchboard. This was consistent with practices during other administrations, including Obama’s.

RUSSIAN BOUNTIES HOAX: In June 2020, The New York Times published a story claiming that Russian spooks had offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants in Afghanistan to kill U.S. and coalition troops.
The story further alleged that U.S. intelligence knew about it and had briefed Trump in early 2019. President Donald Trump denied being informed and called the story a “hoax” and “fake news,” arguing it was meant to damage him and the Republican Party during the 2020 election.
The Left Stream Media continued to push the narrative until April 2021, when the Biden administration admitted that the tale was based on sketchy sources, which forced Democrats and their shills to drop their narrative.

TRUMP TRASHES TROOPS HOAX: In September 2020 – i.e., the final weeks of Trump’s re-election campaign – The Atlantic published a smear story written by a well-known Trump basher and based entirely on anonymous sources.
In it, the author claimed Trump had canceled a 2018 visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France, citing concerns about his hair in the rain and dismissing the importance of honoring war dead, reportedly saying, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” The story also alleged he had questioned the value of military service during a 2017 Memorial Day visit to Arlington Cemetery, asking then-Chief of Staff John Kelly, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?” The story also claimed Trump had called Marines who died at Belleau Wood in World War I “suckers.”
CLICK https://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1303030811755716611 [3:13] to hear Trump talk about the allegations. Despite the lack of audio, video, or documented evidence, reliance on anonymous sources, and the timing during the 2020 campaign, Democrats, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, used the story during the 2024 campaign to argue that Trump was unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.

RUSSIA COLLUSION HOAX: In 2016, the FBI launched an investigation called Crossfire Hurricane to follow up on claims that the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia to influence the election outcome.
The 2019 Mueller Report failed to provide conclusive evidence that the Trump campaign had conspired or coordinated with the Russian government’s efforts to influence the election.
The 2020 Durham report criticized the FBI’s handling of the notorious Steele Dossier and noted procedural flaws and confirmation bias in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

“HANDS UP! DON’T SHOOT!” HOAX: In 2014, an 18-year-old black man named Michael Brown was shot by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. Early witness accounts, particularly from Brown’s friend Dorian Johnson, suggested Brown was shot while surrendering with his hands up, saying, “I don’t have a gun, stop shooting!” However, examination of bullet trajectories and Brown’s DNA on Wilson’s gun, supported Wilson’s claim that Brown charged at the officer after a struggle.
Hands Up! Don’t Shoot! became a rallying cry for protests against police violence which protesters claimed was particularly targeted toward blacks. Black Lives Matter used it to raise millions, which the founders spent on themselves. Supporters of the phrase argue it doesn’t matter if Darren Wilson was justified in shooting Michael Brown, because cops are racists.

JUSSIE SMOLLETT HOAX: On January 29, 2019, a gay, black actor named Jussie Smollett reported to Chicago police that he had been attacked by two masked men who had beaten him while shouting racial and homophobic slurs. He also claimed they had poured bleach on him and placed a noose around his neck while yelling, “This is MAGA country!“
The story gained widespread attention, gaining Smollett tremendous sympathy. But when Chicago police investigated, they learned Smollett had hired the two men to stage the attack as a publicity stunt to boost his acting career. In December 2021, Smollett was convicted on five counts of lying to police.

COVINGTON KKKIDS HOAX: On January 18, 2019, a group of students from Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Kentucky, attended a March for Life in Washington, D.C. While waiting for their bus home at the Lincoln Memorial, the group was accosted by a Native American activist named Nathan Phillips, who was participating in the Indigenous Peoples March.
A short video of the event portrayed the students as aggressors who had surrounded and taunted Phillips. Longer videos later revealed a more complex situation, but the initial narrative led to the boys being doxxed, threated, and condemned to such an extent that the school had to temporarily closed due to safety concerns. As longer videos emerged, some media outlets and public figures retracted or softened their criticisms, acknowledging the complexity of the situation.
Nicholas Sandmann, the boy who had been most specifically targeted, filed defamation lawsuits. His suits against ABC and The New York Times failed, but he won $250 million from The Washington Post and undisclosed amounts from CNN and NBC.
“VERY FINE PEOPLE” HOAX: [2:10] – Trump’s 2017 Charlottesville comments were misrepresented to suggest he is a racist. The full context shows he was referring to non-extremist statue protesters, yet the “very fine people” lie has been repeated ad nauseum, even as recently as a year ago when Joe Biden was running for re-election.

2A: Chicago, Illinois, has some of the most stringent gun control laws in the nation. On July 3, a carful of young black men rolled up to a black rapper’s album release party in Chicago and shot 18 people. It’s likely most or all of them were also black. Four of them (two male, two female) are dead.
Although the police have not declared a motive, the Chicago Tribune noted that “for the past 15 years, Chicago’s drill rap scene has often been linked to fatal gun violence as rival artists with reputed gang ties trade insults and threats through their lyrics and social media taunts.”
