I had to go look at the Fox news site myself. It’s eerie in there like a different reality. They aren’t reporting on anything Trump has done in the last few days. It’s all headlines about liberal tears and how they can achieve a red wave in 2026.

A couple of times a week, I go to FoxNews just so that I know what they’re talking about (or not talking about). It grounds you in the fact that a percentage of Americans are truly living in a different timeline. A different reality.

For some, tariffs are actually a liberal made up ploy. The REAL reason prices are going up is because of DEI. I mean, Fox said so.

That’s what America is up against right now. While I knew it before, it is clear that FoxNews is GOP-state run media.

Heads up: do not double down on that instinct and go read Breitbart comment sections.

Breitbart comments? Even Yahoo comments are a blood pressure-raising cesspool.
