My daughter captured some video of me practicing a portion of the solo in La Villa Strangiato by #rush on my recently-acquired 1972 Gibson ES-335 into my 1974 Marshall 50-watt JMP amp. Enjoy!

Man gas is really expensive, I better vote for the party that flooded our country with tens of millions of illegals, funded the creation of COVID-19 that killed tens of millions, turned the intel agencies on private citizens, mutilated & indoctrinated our children at scale, stole an election, illegally spied on the opposition party/candidate, sabotaged an administration, framed a duly elected president, ignited a color revolution, bankrolled Hamas protests on college campuses and universities, censored Americans, jailed supporters, staged a fedsurrection, locked hands with islamists, and installed a non compos mentis dementia patient as leader of the free world.

Here are ten grotesque hoaxes that permanently broke corporate journalism and exposed their cartel forever. Legacy media executives feign bewilderment over their cratering credibility, yet the historical record tells an undeniable story. The collapse of public trust was earned through calculated psychological operations, doctored footage, and deliberate institutional fraud. They demanded you ignore your own eyes, surrender basic common sense, and treat blatant partisan propaganda as sacred scripture. 1. The "Fiery But Mostly Peaceful" Spectacle (CNN, 2020) Ali Velshi stood in front of towering infernos consuming Kenosha storefronts while the lower-third graphic insisted the scene was "mostly peaceful." The broadcast demanded viewers distrust their own eyes to protect the regime's preferred civil unrest. 2. The Covington Catholic Character Assassination (2019) Legacy networks selectively sliced footage of teenager Nick Sandmann standing motionless while an activist banged a drum inches from his face. The media branded a quiet high schooler as the face of white supremacy, triggering multi-million dollar defamation settlements once uncut footage destroyed the script. 3. The Jussie Smollett Hate Crime Fable (2019) Anchors uncritically broadcast an absurd fairy tale featuring sub-zero Chicago temperatures, roving assailants carrying bleach, and an intact noose. Newsrooms substituted basic police reporting with cheap racial melodrama, crowning a mediocre actor a martyr before Chicago police dismantled the fraud. 4. The Hunter Biden Laptop Suppression (2020) Fifty-one retired intelligence operatives signed a letter laundering genuine domestic corruption as foreign influence. Corporate networks obediently censored the report right before a presidential election, only verifying the laptop years later when political consequences had expired. 5. The Charlottesville "Very Fine People" Deception (2017) Cable news ran a heavily edited nine-second soundbite to convince the public that a sitting president endorsed white supremacists. They buried the explicit sentence spoken moments later condemning neo-Nazis entirely. Networks weaponized this lie for seven consecutive years. 6. The Border Patrol "Whips" Fabrication (2021) Anchors and politicians accused mounted border agents of using whips against Haitian migrants along the Rio Grande. Even after the civilian photographer publicly testified that agents used split reins to control horses, the media kept the smear alive to paralyze sovereign enforcement. 7. The Automotive "Bloodbath" Panic (2024) Commentators clipped a speech analyzing Chinese auto tariffs and manufactured a panic about nationwide political slaughter. Outlets coordinated identical headlines across digital platforms, deliberately deceiving voters to produce cheap campaign fear. Clip Search: Trump bloodbath auto industry speech full context 8. The Steele Dossier Collusion Hoax (2016 to 2019) Cable hosts spent years reading unverified opposition research funded by political opponents as sacred scripture. Pundits guaranteed imminent treason indictments on prime-time television, harvesting viewer paranoia to fuel a multi-million-dollar ratings racket built on zero evidence. 9. The "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" Myth (2014) Pundits raised their hands on air to validate an execution narrative that never happened in Ferguson. The federal Justice Department ultimately demolished the story using forensic ballistics, yet networks permanently embedded the fabrication into modern cultural folklore. 10. The Wuhan Lab Leak "Racist Conspiracy" Blackout (2020) Legacy reporters branded the virology laboratory hypothesis a xenophobic delusion to protect international bureaucracies and federal research grants. Once evidence made the scenario undeniable, the press pivoted without acknowledging their coordinated suppression of scientific inquiry. These ten hoaxes barely scratch the surface of a decades-long catalog of engineered deception. X has character limits, and modern server infrastructure has physical constraints. Documenting every single fabrication produced by the left-wing press would literally require paving the entire surface of the moon with data centers. The legacy cartel traded its credibility for partisan propaganda, and the American public permanently revoked its trust. The monopoly is broken, the curtain is down, and their authority will never return.

We didn’t know the last time we’d ride our bikes to a friend’s house. We didn’t know the last time we’d rent a movie on a Friday night. We didn’t know the last time we’d hear Mom yell that dinner was ready. We didn’t know the last time we’d fall asleep on the couch and wake up in our bed. We didn’t know the last time we’d call a friend’s house and ask their parents if they were home. We didn’t know the last time we’d spend an entire summer outside. We didn’t know the last time we’d sit around the dinner table with everyone there. We didn’t know the last time we’d walk through the mall with nowhere to be. We didn’t know the last time Christmas morning would feel like magic. We never knew which moments were quietly becoming memories. That’s the thing about the good old days. Nobody tells you when they’re ending.

If Canada were a U.S. state, it would rank dead last in per capita GDP. Canada: $55,760, per IMF data. Mississippi, the lowest state: $55,877 It is a pathetic little country that murders its own citizens because it cannot provide them basic healthcare, does not meet its NATO responsibilities and uses the U.S. defense budget to subsidize its massive welfare state.

Excellent documentary about why some Democrats have reconsidered their political affiliation. Although fairly comprehensive, it only scratches the surface of the mendacity and outright evil of the political establishment in our country.
I’ve been dreading telling my friends and family that I’ll be voting for Trump in this coming election. There was no way for me to explain it to them without them being horrified. So I made this video, which tries to explain how liberals like me have ended up here:

LA Homeless Services Authority busted laundering over $75M in fraud through the homeless industrial Complex. This matches the amount of money they get from Federal taxpayers. This is what CA does with fed dollars. Leaders like Karen Bass just steal it. I told you, over and over...it's ALL fraud. How else do you double the spending just to get double the homeless zombies? LAHSA delayed their homeless count (which revealed that homelessness had spiked up) until after I was pushed out of the election. Then the two candidates who funnel billions in tax dollars into these homeless services organizations were left to have their sham election, and keep the grift going. Nithya Raman and Karen Bass belong in Federal PMITA prison. They are destroying LA and stealing our money.

Guys. IT'S ALL FRAUD. Every penny. How can any sane person with an IQ near room temperature look at increasing homelessness + increasing spending on homelessness and not realize that it's just a money laundering scheme? The entire homeless industrial complex needs to be nuked.

Six years ago Bernie told us that we had six years left because of climate change. That grift is over and now he’s onto the robots. Mock this miserable goon into oblivion.

How far left has the Left really gone? You can strangle your kids, drive at an ICE officer, stab someone at a track meet, and shoot a CEO in the head — and they’ll support you. They’ll raise money in your name, protest in the streets for you, and fight to set you free. But if your name is Charlie Kirk and you get assassinated on a college campus for having a debate, they’ll celebrate your death, desecrate your memorials, and treat the anniversary like a holiday. That isn’t normal. It should concern every American. The fact that it doesn’t should concern you even more.

AOC knows most of these hangings are confirmed suicides, and none have a White suspect for murder. She doesn’t care. She’s happy to promote anti-White hatred to boost turnout for dems. I will simply never vote for a party that blood libels my race to justify stealing from us.
This year, there have already been 10 reported hangings of Black people in the U.S. I’m proud to have signed onto @RepPressley ‘s letter to address these widespread modern-day lynchings and put a stop to this racial terror.
Community note
Most reported 2026 Black hangings were ruled suicides by police/MEs with no foul play (e.g. Bassinga, Nzita, Jackson). One (Fortune) is a homicide probe pending autopsy, Black POI. None confirmed as lynchings or racial terror. charlotteobserver.com/news/local/art… mississippitoday.org/2026/09/09/tas… mlive.com/news/2026/06/m…

The white women of the jury have spent the last three days trashing the hold out juror. They've said "he didn't understand the rules." "He couldn't process the arguments we were making." "he had no evidence to support his position." "he couldn't explain anything." What we have here are nine white women basically call the one black guy stupid. Sound familiar? It should. It's a microcosm of the Democrat party. These are the same people who told us Black people were too dumb to figure out how to get a voter ID. The left has always been the real racists
