FOX NEWS: MAKING CONSERVATIVE VALUES ENTERTAINING

Faith — Disguised as Angertainment Is America's Red Dawn Invasion

The Future of Our Future is at Stake

Facts Over Fear

Donald J. Trump is running to be the President of the United States of America in 2024 while out on bail in four states and stands accused of 91 felony crimes, including trying to change the outcome of an election he did not win.

Trump's defense for these crimes is some version of "It's always somebody else's fault."

Trump is no genius — he's just a puppet of the Kremlin. He's the orange-tinted face of a cult designed to destroy America's commitment to the Constitution.

A document is only as strong as the people who uphold it. Having exposed the Republican Party as one capable of being loyal to a man rather than a set of long-held principles, we now fully understand that Trump is not abnormal within the Republican Party — he portrays it exactly. He did not change the party, he exposed it. — President Vladimir Putin, January 21, 2017 — the day after Donald J. Trump was inagurated.

With the help of media manipulation, Putin was able to manipulate and coerce the Republican party — resulting in a majority of MAGA Republicans proudly supporting White Nationalism. Putin is the leader of this cult, and his tactics are a testament to his corrupting influence.

By mixing PTL Network “values” with professional wrestling “entertainment,” Fox News has made the conservative values of the Jim and Tammy Faye Baker-PTL Network palatable for the masses.

Judd Legum, the creator of Popular Information, examines Vince McMahon, the creator and maintainer of Trump's 'fan base,' and how he functions as a producer of the carefully crafted and choreographed drama designed to keep people's attention and enthusiasm.

You deserve Facts Over Fear and Keep Faith Out of Your Government!

My neighbor has a sign in her yard, "Faith over fear," in big, bold letters. The same neighbor is a phlebotomist in my doctor's office, which is usually the only time we chat.

Recently, she was taking a blood sample and leaned in real close when she whispered, "Did you hear? There were some Black boys walking around our neighborhood, and the men folk chased them out with shotguns."

"How do you know it wasn't my nephew?" I replied with shock and horror. I had to keep reminding myself that this ignorant woman wasn't worth me having to beg for bail money.

She dropped her face and finished taking my blood sample without a word. I am no longer a patient at this doctor's office.

Her kind of "faith" is toxic, and she's too stupid to know it.

People will judge you by what they see rather than what you want them to see. If you display "Faith over Fear" signs, but your actions and demeanor don't follow suit, your behavior hurts you and your faith.

Don't let yourself be fooled! Don't be influenced by blind acceptance. Demand facts and arm yourself with knowledge to make informed decisions.

Faith should be between you and your Higher Power — not you and the offering plate, you and your government, and not you and your religious leaders.

Transparency protects you and your financial future.

When politicians want you focused on anger, insanity, and distractions instead of what's important to Americans — you need to ask yourself WHY???

  • Is your tap drinking water safe? — Mine isn't; the county delivers clean drinking water in gallon jugs. The water we bathe in is contaminated and soaks into our skin when we wash.
  • Do your children and grandchildren feel safe going to school? — Mine doesn't.
  • Do you watch people as they come into the grocery store, movie theater, church, school, etc., and wonder if they have a weapon and will be taking aim at the people you love most in the world? — I do! I watch everyone and see if they have the bulk under their jacket or hoodie that could aim at my family.
  • Do you roll your eyes in disbelief when people you know parrot Fox News' lies and actually believe the BS? I do! — it's a lack of education and awareness, along with the manipulative power of the media, that can make even the smartest of us — gullible.

When oblivious to the facts, you can be manipulated with fear and misinformation, tricking you into supporting the BS with your faith, money, vote, and patriotism — whether you mean to or not.

Team Facts

It feels like we're supposed to pick sides, but the options we're being given aren't the actual teams.

The experience is like thinking you're on Rock's team only to discover someone fooled you, and you're playing dodgeball against The Rock.

It's a game you can't win.

The other team has an unfair advantage; they play the media game instead of doing their elected jobs.

As a result, you, the voter — are always at a disadvantage because disinformation and media manipulation — work well together!

Over the last few years, a substantial amount of money has been spent spreading and defending the false narrative perpetuated by Donald Trump. This has strained America's legal system, wasting taxpayers' money tremendously.

Trump's crony Jason Miller schmoozed with the bigwigs of major media companies. He's trying to obliterate democracy.

Mainstream media sold us out for ratings.

Your Tax Dollars are at Work?

What would just a portion of that money do for your community? Your social services? The schools in your neighborhood? To clean the water in your community?

Taxes are essential to fund our community, state, and federal government infrastructure. However, when these taxes are used to defend America against foreign and domestic terrorists, they divert funds away from providing for the needs of our communities. This includes improving water quality, protecting the environment, and maintaining peace.

If the billionaires aren't paying their taxes — who do you think is??

When politicians are so tightly aligned with corporations, they forget who hired them and whom they're working for — it's time to get Americans educated, unified, and standing up for Facts over Fear!

Why Would Politicians and Corporations Want Uneducated Citizens??

Politicians and corporations are so intertwined these days that it's like trying to separate peanut butter and jelly after you make the sandwich.

But why would politicians and corporations want citizens to be uneducated? The answer is simple — they can manipulate them into voting in their favor and supporting their agendas — especially at their peril.

People run corporations. Their goals aren't mystical, magical entities but wealthy and influential people who want to avoid taxes, regulations, and consequences.

People who are educated are harder to manipulate, and they expect leadership and representation that is rational and reasonable.

Unsurprisingly, the less educated people are, the more likely they will be swayed by entertainment-based propaganda. So let's call out the nonsense for what it is — and call out the people who believe it, too.

It's time to put facts before fear and empowerment through education!

The Bully Can Be Defeated, and This is How

Call it out! On every level! Call the bullshit what it is, and the people who believe it — must be called out too.
